Credit Facility, but may by its terms be renewable annually upon written notice

of Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrower

Borrowing, (ii) Facility under which such Borrowing is to be made, (iii) Type of

portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments under
the applicable Facility of such Lender and the other Appropriate Lenders. After
the Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will
make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower's Account;
provided, however, that, in the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing
denominated in U.S. dollars, the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion
of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Swing Line Advances
and Letter of Credit Advances made by the Swing Line Bank or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, and by any other Revolving Credit Lender and outstanding on
the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid
thereon to and as of such date, available to the Swing Line Bank or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, and such other Revolving Credit Lenders for repayment
of such Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances.

     (b) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than
2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing,

notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a "NOTICE OF SWING LINE BORROWING") shall be
by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telex or telecopier,
specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such
Borrowing and (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later
than the seventh day after the requested date of such Borrowing). The Swing Line
Bank will make the amount of the requested Swing Line Advances available to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds.
After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of
the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent
will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower's
Account. Upon written demand by the Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such demand
to the Administrative Agent, or in any event automatically upon the maturity of
each Swing Line Advance, each other Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase from
the Swing Line Bank, and the Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such
other Revolving Credit Lender, such other Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
outstanding Swing Line Advance as of the date of such demand, by making
available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative
Agent's Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the
outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such
Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each
Revolving Credit Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding
Swing Line Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by
the Swing Line Bank, or in any event automatically upon the maturity of each
Swing Line Advance, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than
2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business
Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such
time. Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Revolving
Credit Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank
represents and warrants to such other Lender that the Swing Line Bank is the
legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no
other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility or recourse with
respect to such Swing Line Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party. If and
to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the amount
of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving
Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by
the Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day,
such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line
Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement,
and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by the Swing
Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

                                       25

          (c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding,
(i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for the initial
Borrowing hereunder or for any Borrowing if the aggregate Dollar Amount of such
Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Appropriate
Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to
Section 2.09 or 2.10, (ii) the Revolving Credit Advances may not be outstanding
as part of more than 5 separate Borrowings, (iii) the Borrower may not request
that any Advances be made as LIBOR Market Index Rate Advances and (iv) all
Revolving Credit Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be made as
Eurodollar Rate Advances.

          (d) Each Notice of Borrowing and each Notice of Swing Line Borrowing
shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing
that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar
Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Appropriate Lender against any
loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to
fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such
Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without
limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of
such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on
such date.

          (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice
from an Appropriate Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing under a Facility
under which such Lender has a Commitment that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such
date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not
have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until
the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in
the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under
Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such
Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such
Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.

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

          (g) The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the purported
genuineness of all telephonic notices, without any responsibility or liability,
except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          (h) The Term Loan Advance shall be made on the Amendment No. 4
Effective Date as a Eurodollar Rate Advance. Each Appropriate Lender shall,
before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date,
make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account (or such other
account as directed by the Administrative Agent), in same day funds and in
British Pounds Sterling, such Lender's ratable portion of the Term Loan Advance
in accordance with the respective Term Loan Commitments. After the

                                       26

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent will make
such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower's Account.

     SECTION 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of
Credit. (a) Request for Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon
notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the fifth
Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of
Credit, by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank, which shall give to the
Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice thereof by
telecopier or electronic communication. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter
of Credit (a "NOTICE OF ISSUANCE") shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately
in writing, or telecopier or electronic communication, specifying therein the
requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii)
Available Amount of such Letter of Credit (which amount shall not be less than
$50,000 or shall be otherwise acceptable to the Issuing Bank), (iii) expiration
date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) name and address of the beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit, (v) currency and face amount of such Letter of Credit and (vi)
form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and
agreement for letter of credit as the Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower
for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a "LETTER OF CREDIT
AGREEMENT"). If (A) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to
the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (B) it has not received notice of
objection to such issuance from the Required Lenders, the Issuing Bank will,
upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make
such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in
Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such
issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of
Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this
Agreement shall govern.

          (b) Letter of Credit Reports. The Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to
the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each week a written report
summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued during the
previous week and drawings during such week under all Letters of Credit, (ii) to
each Revolving Credit Lender on the first Business Day of each month a written
report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued
during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of
Credit and (iii) to the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender on
the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth
the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar
quarter of all Letters of Credit.

          (c) Participations in Letters of Credit. Upon the issuance of a Letter
of Credit by the Issuing Bank under Section 2.03(a), the Issuing Bank shall be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each
Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed,
without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the Issuing
Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount for each Revolving
Credit Lender equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount of
such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay such Lender's Pro Rata Share
of each Letter of Credit Advance made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by
the Borrower forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.04(c) (or which
has been so reimbursed but must be returned or restored by the Issuing Bank
because of the occurrence of an event specified in Section 6.01(f) or otherwise)
by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank by deposit to the
Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds and in U.S. dollars, an amount
equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit Advance. Each
Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) in respect of Letters of Credit
is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of

                                       27

<PAGE>

Default or the termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall
be made without any off-set, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If
and to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the
amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent,
such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such Letter of Credit Advance is due pursuant to Section 2.04(c) until the date
such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for
its account or the account of the Issuing Bank. If such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Issuing Bank on any
Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a
Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes
of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit
Advance made by the Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such
Business Day.

          (d) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by the Issuing Bank of a
draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this
Agreement the making by the Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which
shall be a Base Rate Advance denominated in U.S. dollars, in the Dollar Amount
of such draft.

          (e) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any
Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date
specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the
Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date

          (f) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of
the "International Standby Practices 1998" published by the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in
effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

     SECTION 2.04. Repayment of Advances. (a) Revolving Credit Advances. The
Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the
Revolving Credit Lenders on the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving
Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances
then outstanding.

          (b) Swing Line Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank and each other
Revolving Credit Lender that has made a Swing Line Advance the outstanding
principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made by each of them on the earlier
of the maturity date specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing
(which maturity shall be no later than the seventh day after the requested date
of such Borrowing) and the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit
Facility.

          (c) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent in U.S. dollars for the account of the Issuing Bank and
each other Revolving Credit Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on
the earlier of demand and the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving
Credit Facility the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit
Advance made by each of them.

          (ii) The Obligations of the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders
under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or
instrument relating to any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of

                                       28

<PAGE>

this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or
instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following
circumstances:

          (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any
     Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or
     instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the
     "L/C RELATED DOCUMENTS");

          (B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
     other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of
     any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent
     to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;

          (C) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that
     the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee
     of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any
     such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other Person,
     whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related
     Documents or any unrelated transaction;

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

          (E) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against
     presentation of a draft, certificate or other document that does not
     strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

          (F) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or other
     collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
     departure from the Subsidiary Guaranties or any other guarantee, for all or
     any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the L/C Related
     Documents;

          (G) any fluctuation in currency exchange rates; or

          (H) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
     similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other
     circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
     discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor.

          (d) Term Loan Advance. The principal amount of the Term Loan Advance
shall be repaid to the Term Loan Lenders in sixteen (16) consecutive quarterly
installments denominated in British Pounds Sterling (as reduced pursuant to
Section 2.06(a)) based on the following percentages of the initial amount
(expressed in British Pounds Sterling) of the Term Loan Advance:

     SECTION 2.05. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Optional.
The Borrower may, upon at least five Business Days' written notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions
of the Swing Line Facility and the Letter of Credit Facility and the Unused

reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.

          (ii) The Swing Line Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to
time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the

     SECTION 2.06. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least
(i) one Business Day's notice (which may be telephonic, with prompt written

<PAGE>
 Days' notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances denominated in U.S.
dollars and (iii) four Business Days' notice in the case of Advances denominated
in Foreign Currencies, in each case to the Administrative Agent stating the
proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such

in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the
aggregate principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial

          (ii) The Borrower shall, on each applicable Business Day, pay to the
Administrative Agent for deposit in the Deposit Account an amount sufficient to
cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the Deposit Account to equal the amount
by which the aggregate Reserved Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then

          (iii) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to
clause (i) shall be first applied to prepay Letter of Credit Advances then
outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, second applied to prepay Swing
Line Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, and third

the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) in the case of all Advances
other than Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies, Convert into Base Rate
Advances and (B) in the case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies (or
any portion thereof), be repaid and reborrowed (at the option of the Borrower)
as Base Rate Advances denominated in U.S. dollars.

          (ii) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest
Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions
contained in the definition of "Interest Period" in Section 1.01, the
Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Appropriate
Lenders, whereupon each such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall automatically, on the
last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) in the case of all
Advances other than Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies, Convert into
Base Rate Advances and (B) in the case of Advances denominated in Foreign
Currencies (or any portion thereof), be continued as Eurodollar Rate Advances
with an Interest Period of one month.

          (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default,
(A) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then
existing Interest Period therefor, (1) in the case of all Advances other than
Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies, Convert into Base Rate Advances, (2)
in the case of the Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies
(or any portion thereof), (I) at the request of the Administrative Agent (acting
upon the direction of the Required Lenders), be repaid and reborrowed (at the
option of the Borrower) as a Base Rate Advance denominated in U.S. dollars or
(II) be continued as Eurodollar Rate Advances with an Interest Period of one
month and (3) in the case of the Term Loan Advance, be continued as Eurodollar
Rate Advances with an Interest Period of one month and (B) upon written notice
from the Administrative Agent (in its discretion or as required by the Required
Lenders in writing) to the Borrower, the obligation of the Lenders to make
Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies or to make, or to Convert Advances
into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

     SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central
bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law),
there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make
or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances, Advances
denominated in Foreign Currencies or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or
maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of
making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this
Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes
(as to which Section 2.12 shall govern exclusively) and (y) changes in the basis
of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States
or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender
Party is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office, in each case including
any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time,
upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for
such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional
amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent
with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender
Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to
the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender
Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (b) If, due to either (i) the introduction or effectiveness of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the
compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be
any increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
any Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party as a result of
or based upon the existence of such Lender Party's commitment to lend or to
issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of
such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of
Credit (or

                                       34

<PAGE>

similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender Party or such
corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances,
to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in
capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party's commitment to
lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the
issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A
certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances under any
Facility, Lenders owed at least 51% of the then aggregate unpaid principal
amount thereof notify the Administrative Agent in good faith that the Eurodollar
Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the
cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate
Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so
notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders, whereupon (i) each such
Eurodollar Rate Advance under such Facility will automatically, on the last day
of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) in the case of all Advances
other than Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies, Convert into Base Rate
Advances, (B) in the case of the Revolving Credit Advances denominated in
Foreign Currencies (or any portion thereof), be repaid and reborrowed (at the
option of the Borrower) as a Base Rate Advance denominated in U.S. dollars and
(C) in the case of the Term Loan Advance, be Converted to a LIBOR Market Index
Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make Advances
denominated in Foreign Currencies or make, or to Convert Advances into,
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist. Upon such notification, all LIBOR
Market Index Rate Advances arising as a result of such circumstances shall
automatically Convert to Eurodollar Rate Advances with an Interest Period of one
month unless otherwise designated by the Borrower.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the
introduction or effectiveness of or any change in or in the interpretation of
any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other
governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make
Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender
to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate
Advance under each Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment will
automatically, upon such demand, (A) in the case of all Advances other than
Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies, Convert into Base Rate Advances, (B)
in the case of the Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies
(or any portion thereof), be repaid and reborrowed (at the option of the
Borrower) as a Base Rate Advance denominated in U.S. dollars and (C) in the case
of the Term Loan Advance, be Converted to a LIBOR Market Index Rate Advance and
(ii) the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make Advances denominated in
Foreign Currencies and to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate
Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist. Upon such notification, all LIBOR Market Index Rate
Advances arising as a result of such circumstances shall automatically Convert
to Eurodollar Rate Advances with an Interest Period of one month unless
otherwise designated by the Borrower. Before making any demand under this
Section 2.10(c), each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with
its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would
allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its
obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each
payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim
or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than 2:00
P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent's Account (or such other account as directed by the
Administrative Agent) in same day funds, with payments being received by the
Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the
next succeeding Business Day. Without limiting the terms of the preceding
sentence, the principal of, and the accrued interest on, any Advances
denominated in U.S. dollars shall be payable in U.S. dollars and any Advances
denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be payable in the same Foreign Currency
as such Advance. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like
funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of
principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable
hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender
Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably
in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to
such Lender Parties and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of
any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party
for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an
Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in
the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date of
such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments
hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the
Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and
Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods
prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

          (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party and each of its
Affiliates, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made
when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such
Lender, to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
against any or all of the Borrower's accounts with such Lender Party or such
Affiliate any amount so due.

          (c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate (to the extent
based on Wachovia's prime rate) or based on amounts denominated in British
Pounds Sterling shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year
of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based
on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of
Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a
year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the
first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such
interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated
to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment or letter of
credit fee or commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such
extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate
Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be
made on the next preceding Business Day.

          (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party
on such due date an amount

                                       36

<PAGE>

equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the
Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative
Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender
Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

          (f) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full
all amounts due and payable to the Agents and the Lender Parties under or in
respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment
shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and
the Lender Parties in the following order of priority:

          (i) first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification
     payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Agents (solely
     in their respective capacities as Agents) under or in respect of this
     Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the
     respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments,
     costs and expenses owing to the Agents on such date;

          (ii) second, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification
     payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Issuing Bank
     and the Swing Line Bank (solely in their respective capacities as such)
     under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such
     date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees,
     indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Issuing Bank and
     the Swing Line Bank on such date;

          (iii) third, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments,
     costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders under Sections
     8.04 hereof, Section 21 of the Security Agreement and any similar section
     of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the
     respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs
     and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;

          (iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and
     payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Sections
     2.10 and 2.12 hereof on such date, ratably based upon the respective
     aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender
     Parties on such date;

          (v) fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable
     to the Lenders under Section 2.08(a) on such date, ratably based upon the
     respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facilities on
     such date;

          (vi) sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest
     on the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan
     Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the
     Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably based upon the
     respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the
     Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

          (vii) seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid
     interest on the Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative
     Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(a) and all Obligations
     arising under Secured Hedge Agreements on such date, ratably based upon the
     respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the
     Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

                                       37

<PAGE>

          (viii) eighth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the
     outstanding Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent
     and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective
     aggregate amounts of all such principal owing to the Administrative Agent
     and the Lender Parties on such date; and

          (ix) ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan
     Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and
     payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such
     date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such
     Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties
     on such date.

          (g) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the
Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under
circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances or the
Facility to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute
such funds to each of the Lender Parties in accordance with such Lender Party's
ratable share of the sum of (a) the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all
Advances outstanding at such time and (b) the aggregate Available Amount of all
Letters of Credit outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such
of the outstanding Advances or other Obligations then owing to such Lender
Party.

     SECTION 2.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for
the account of any Lender Party or any Agent hereunder or under the Notes or any
other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11 or the
applicable provisions of such other Loan Document, if any, free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding, in the case of each Lender Party and each Agent, taxes that are
imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are
imposed on its overall net income (and franchise or similar taxes imposed in
lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such
Lender Party or such Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political
subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that are
imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof)
by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party's Applicable Lending
Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of
payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as "TAXES").
If any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or any other Loan
Document to any Lender Party or any Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower
shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Loan Party and the
Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party
or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make
all such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable law.

          (b) In addition, a Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp,
documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise
from any payment made by such Loan Party hereunder or under any Notes or any
other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of,
performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or
the other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as "OTHER TAXES").

          (c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender Party and each Agent
for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and
for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction
on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender
Party or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties,

                                       38

<PAGE>

additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such
Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

          (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the
appropriate Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address
referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or
other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes or
the other Loan Documents by or on behalf of a Loan Party through an account or
branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of a Loan Party by a payor
that is not a United States person, if such Loan Party determines that no Taxes
are payable in respect thereof, such Loan Party shall furnish, or shall cause
such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion
of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is
exempt from Taxes. For purposes of subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.12,
the terms "UNITED STATES" and "UNITED STATES PERSON" shall have the meanings
specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

          (e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and
delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party and on the
date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender
Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter
as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter
as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service
Forms W-8BEN or W-8EC1 or (in the case of a Lender Party that has certified in
writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not (i) a "bank" as defined in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) a 10-percent shareholder
(within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the
Borrower or (iii) a CFC related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section
864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
as appropriate) any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a
reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this
Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or such other Internal Revenue
Service form as may be applicable to a Lender Party which will entitle the
Lender Party to an exemption from or a reduced rate of withholding tax on
payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document. If
the forms provided by a Lender Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes
a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate
in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded
from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party provides the appropriate forms
certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser
rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such
forms; provided, however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and
Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement,
the Lender Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this
Section 2.12 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to
interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include
(in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other
amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any,
applicable with respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any form
or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of
information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and
information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or W-8ECI or the related certificate described above, that the applicable Lender
Party reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender Party shall give
notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such
form or document such confidential information.

                                       39

<PAGE>

          (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to
provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document
described in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change
in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the
date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to
be provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not
required under subsection (e) above), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to
indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.12 with respect to
Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however,
that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to
deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Loan
Parties shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to
assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes.

          (g) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant
to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the
jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change
would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts
that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

     SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender Party shall obtain at
any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of
any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment
pursuant to Section 8.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such
Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such
time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the
Dollar Amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such
time to (ii) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Obligations due and payable to
all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at
such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all
Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the
Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due
and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes and the other
Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the Dollar Amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender
Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the Obligations owing
(but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes
and the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the
Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and
under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time,
such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such
interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing
to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other
Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the
purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party's
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to
such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender
Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party's
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the Dollar Amount of such
other Lender Party's required repayment to (ii) the total Dollar Amount so
recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid
or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so
recovered; provided further that, so long as the Obligations under the Loan
Documents shall not have been accelerated, any excess payment received by any
Appropriate Lender shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other
Appropriate Lenders. The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an
interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this
Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its
rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest
or participating interest, as

                                       40

<PAGE>

the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of
the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the
case may be.

     SECTION 2.14. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and issuances
of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall
use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) solely to refinance certain Existing
Debt (including the Senior Notes) of the Borrower, and to finance the ongoing
working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries. The proceeds of any Advances may not be used to finance any
Investment or acquisition permitted under Section 5.02(f) unless such Investment
or acquisition is made on a consensual basis (approved by the board of directors
or analogous governing body of any Person to be acquired or all or substantially
all of whose assets are to be acquired).

     SECTION 2.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to
such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The
Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender Party to the Borrower (with a
copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory
note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for
such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or
otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the
Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to
the Administrative Agent, a Revolving Credit Note, a Term Note and a Swing Line
Note, as applicable, in substantially the form of Exhibits A-1, A-2 and A-3
hereto, respectively, payable to the order of such Lender Party in a principal
amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Swing Line Commitment and
the Term Loan Commitment, respectively, of such Lender Party. All references to
Notes in the Loan Documents means Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.

          (b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 8.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for
each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the
date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances
comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or
to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and
(iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the
Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party's share thereof.

          (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the
Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its
account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie
evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become
due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender
Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under
this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of
the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding
that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall
not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement.

     SECTION 2.16. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, as to any Lender which (a) has refused (which refusal
has not been retracted) to make available its portion of any Borrowing or to
fund its portion of any unreimbursed (or disgorged) payment under Section
2.03(c) or (b) has given notice to the Administrative Agent and/or the Borrower
that it does not intend to comply with its obligations under Section 2.01 or
under Section 2.03(c) (a "DEFAULTING LENDER"):

                                       41

<PAGE>

          (i) such lender shall not be deemed a Required Lender hereunder and
     such Lender's (A) Revolving Credit Notes, (B) Revolving Commitments, (C)
     Term Notes, (D) Advances and (E) Letter of Credit Advances shall be
     excluded from the calculations set forth in the definition of Required
     Lenders above,

          (ii) such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any portion of (A)
     Letter of Credit fees, (B) interest payable with respect to any Letter of
     Credit Advances or (C) amounts received in respect of Letter of Credit
     Advances; and

          (iii) such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee
     payable in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding Section 2.01(c), if any Lender
shall fall within the description set forth in clause (a) or (b) above, the
Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank have been entered into
(the Issuing Bank having made a good faith effort to enter into such
arrangements) to eliminate the Issuing Bank's risk with respect to the
participation in Letters of Credit by such Lender, including cash
collateralizing such Lender's Letter of Credit commitment. The provisions of
this Section 2.16 are not in lieu of any other claim the Borrower may have
against such Defaulting Lender.

     SECTION 2.17. Additional Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Borrower shall have the right during the period from the
Effective Date until the date one Business Day prior to the Termination Date, to
increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Facility (each an
"Increase in Commitment") and to incur additional Debt under this Agreement in
the form of one or more increases in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments
by an aggregate amount of up to $75,000,000. The following terms and conditions
shall apply to all Increases in Commitment: (a) the loans made under any such
Increase in Commitment shall constitute Revolving Credit Advances, (b) such
Increase in Commitment shall have the same terms (including interest rate) as
the existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (c) any such Increase in Commitment
shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Revolving Credit
Commitments and shall be entitled to receive proceeds of prepayments on the same
basis as existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (d) any such Increase in
Commitment shall be obtained from existing Lenders or from other banks,
financial institutions or investment funds, in each case in accordance with the
terms set forth below, (e) such Increase in Commitment shall be in a minimum
principal amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, (f) the proceeds of any Increase in Commitment will be used in
accordance with Section 2.14, (g) the Borrower shall execute such promissory
notes as are necessary and requested by the Lenders to reflect the Increase in
Commitment, (h) the conditions to Advances in Section 3.02 shall have been
satisfied, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received such legal opinions
from counsel to the Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent reasonably shall request,
(j) the Administrative Agent shall have received such amendments to the Loan
Documents, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as
the Administrative Agent shall request and (k) the Administrative Agent shall
have received from the Borrower an officer's certificate, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, demonstrating that, at the time of any
such Increase in Commitment, no Default or Event of Default shall exist.
Participation in any Increase in Commitment shall be offered first to each of
the existing Lenders, but no such Lender shall be required to provide all or any
portion of any such Increase in Commitment. If the amount of any Increase in
Commitment requested by the Borrower shall exceed the commitments which the
existing Lenders are willing to provide with respect to such Increase in
Commitment, then the Borrower may invite other banks, financial institutions and
investment funds reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to join this
Agreement as Lenders hereunder for the portion of such Increase in Commitment
not taken by existing

                                       42

<PAGE>

Lenders, provided that such other banks, financial institutions and investment
funds shall enter into such joinder agreements to give effect thereto as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The existing Lenders shall make
such assignments (which assignments shall not be subject to the requirements set
forth in Section 8.07) of the outstanding Advances and participation interests
in Advances and Letters of Credit to the Lenders providing any Increase in
Commitment so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender
(including the Lenders providing the Increase in Commitment) will hold Advances
and participation interests in Advances and Letters of Credit equal to its Pro
Rata Share of all outstanding Advances and participation interests in Advances
and Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into, on
behalf of the Lenders, any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document as may be necessary to incorporate the terms of any Increase in
Commitment.

     statements of income and statement of cash flows of the Borrower and its
     Subsidiaries delivered to the Lender Parties pursuant to Section

     future financial performance.

          (j) Reserved.

          (k) The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit

     the Loan Documents, will violate any provision of any such Act or any rule,
     regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

     any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or other agreement or

     made or taken and are in full force and effect, other than the entering
     into of deposit account control agreements in accordance with Section
     9-312(b)(1) and (2) of the UCC. The Collateral Documents create in favor of
     the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and,
     together with such filings and other actions, perfected first priority
     security interest in the Collateral to the extent such security interest
     can be perfected in the United States (except to the extent that deposits
     account control agreements have not been entered into and for the liens
     permitted under the Loan Documents) securing the payment of the Secured
     Obligations, and all filings and other actions necessary or desirable to
     perfect and protect such security interest in the United States have been
     duly taken. The Loan Parties are the legal and

     the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and any of its

     Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions otherwise permitted under the

     acquisition of any new direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiaries by any Loan

               entered into and of any instrument issued in connection
               therewith, are not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents,

               outstanding immediately prior to such extension, refunding or
               refinancing, and the direct and contingent obligors therefor
               shall not be changed, as a result of or in connection with such
               extension, refunding or refinancing, provided still further that
               the terms relating to principal amount, amortization, maturity,
               collateral (if any) and subordination (if any), and other
               material terms taken as a whole, of any such extending, refunding
               or refinancing Debt, and of any agreement entered into and of any
               instrument issued in connection therewith, are no less favorable
               in any material respect to the Loan Parties or the Lender Parties
               than the terms of any agreement or instrument governing the Debt
               being extended, refunded or refinanced and the interest rate
               applicable to any such extending, refunding or refinancing Debt

Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any
Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or any Lender Party shall have any
Commitment hereunder, the Borrower will:

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. If any of the following events ("EVENTS OF
DEFAULT") shall occur and be continuing:

          (a) (i) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Advance
     when the same shall become due and payable or (ii) the Borrower shall fail
     to pay any interest on any Advance, or any Loan Party shall fail to make
     any other payment under any Loan Document, in each case under this clause
     (ii) within 3 Business Days after the same shall become due and payable; or

          (b) any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party (or any of
     its officers) under or in connection with any Loan Document shall prove to
     have been incorrect in any material respect when made; or

          (c) the Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant
     or agreement contained in Section 2.14, 5.01(e), (f), (i) or (j), 5.02,
     5.03 or 5.04; or

          (d) any Loan Party shall fail to perform or observe any other term,
     covenant or agreement contained in any Loan Document on its part to be
     performed or observed if such failure shall remain unremedied for 30 days
     after the earlier of the date on which (i) a Responsible Officer of the
     Borrower becomes aware of such failure or (ii) written notice thereof shall
     have been given to the Borrower by any Agent or any Lender Party; or

          (e) any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to pay any
     principal of, premium or interest on or any other amount payable in respect
     of any Debt of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) that
     is outstanding in a principal amount (or, in the case of any Hedge
     Agreement, an Agreement Value) of at least $20,000,000 either individually
     or in the aggregate for all such Loan Parties and Subsidiaries (but
     excluding Debt outstanding hereunder), when the same becomes due and
     payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration,
     demand or otherwise), and such failure shall continue after the applicable
     grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to
     such Debt; or any other event shall occur or condition shall exist under
     any agreement or instrument relating to any such Debt and shall continue
     after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or
     instrument, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate, or
     to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Debt or otherwise to
     cause, or to permit the holder thereof to cause, such Debt to mature; or
     any such Debt shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be
     prepaid or redeemed (other than by a regularly scheduled required
     prepayment or redemption), purchased or defeased, or an offer to prepay,
     redeem, purchase or defease such Debt shall be required to be made, in each
     case prior to the stated maturity thereof; or

          (f) any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall generally not pay
     its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability
     to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the
     benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against
     any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries seeking to adjudicate it a
     bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization,
     arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its
     debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or
     relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the
     appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or for
     any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such
     proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it) that is being
     diligently contested

                                       68

<PAGE>

     by it in good faith, either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or
     unstayed for a period of 30 days or any of the actions sought in such
     proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief
     against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
     similar official for, it or any substantial part of its property) shall
     occur; or any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall take any
     corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this
     subsection (f); or

          (g) any judgments or orders, either individually or in the aggregate,
     for the payment of money in excess of $20,000,000 shall be rendered against
     any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries and either (i) enforcement
     proceedings shall have been commenced and not stayed or discontinued by any
     creditor upon such judgment or order or (ii) there shall be any period of
     10 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or
     order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect;
     provided, however, that any such judgment or order shall not give rise to
     an Event of Default under this Section 6.01(g) if and for so long as (A)
     the amount of such judgment or order is covered by a valid and binding
     policy of insurance between the defendant and the insurer, which shall be
     rated at least "A" by A.M. Best Company, covering full payment thereof and
     (B) such insurer has been notified, and has not disputed the claim made for
     payment, of the amount of such judgment or order; or

          (h) any non-monetary judgment or order shall be rendered against any
     Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that could be reasonably likely to
     have a Material Adverse Effect, and there shall be any period of 10
     consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or
     order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect;
     or

          (i) any provision of any Loan Document after delivery thereof pursuant
     to Section 3.01 or 5.01(j) shall for any reason cease to be valid and
     binding on or enforceable against any Loan Party party to it, or any such
     Loan Party shall so state in writing; or

          (j) any Collateral Document or financing statement after delivery
     thereof pursuant to Section 3.01 or 5.01(j) shall for any reason (other
     than any failure to act on the part of the Collateral Agent to the extent
     an action by the Collateral Agent would be required to perfect a security
     interest) cease to create a valid and perfected first priority lien (except
     to the extent any liens permitted under Section 5.02(a)(ii) would be
     superior by application of law) on and security interest in the Collateral
     purported to be covered thereby as of Amendment No. 3 Effective Date; or

          (k) any ERISA Event shall have occurred with respect to a Plan and the
     sum (determined as of the date of occurrence of such ERISA Event) of the
     Insufficiency of such Plan and the Insufficiency of any and all other Plans
     with respect to which an ERISA Event shall have occurred and then exist (or
     the liability of the Loan Parties and the ERISA Affiliates related to such
     ERISA Event) exceeds $5,000,000 unless any other agreement or instrument
     governing Material Debt sets forth a lower amount, then such amount; or

          (l) any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate shall have been notified by
     the sponsor of a Multiemployer Plan that it has incurred Withdrawal
     Liability to such Multiemployer Plan in an amount that, when aggregated
     with all other amounts required to be paid to Multiemployer Plans by the
     Loan Parties and the ERISA Affiliates as Withdrawal Liability (determined
     as of the date of such notification), exceeds $5,000,000 unless any other
     agreement or instrument governing Material Debt sets forth a lower amount,
     then such lower amount or requires payments exceeding $1,000,000 per annum,
     unless any other agreement or instrument governing Material Debt sets forth
     a lower amount, then such lower amount; or

                                       69

<PAGE>

          (m) any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate shall have been notified by
     the sponsor of a Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is in
     reorganization or is being terminated, within the meaning of Title IV of
     ERISA, and as a result of such reorganization or termination the aggregate
     annual contributions of the Loan Parties and the ERISA Affiliates to all
     Multiemployer Plans that are then in reorganization or being terminated
     have been or will be increased over the amounts contributed to such
     Multiemployer Plans for the plan years of such Multiemployer Plans
     immediately preceding the plan year in which such reorganization or
     termination occurs by an amount exceeding $5,000,000 unless any other
     agreement or instrument governing Material Debt sets forth a lower amount,
     then such lower amount; or

          (n) any default under, or an "Event of Default" as defined in, the
     Senior Subordinated Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing under
     Senior Subordinated Indenture; or

          (o) a Change of Control shall occur;

then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request,
or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower,
declare all or any portion of the Commitments of each Lender Party and the
obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other than Letter of Credit
Advances by the Issuing Bank or a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section
2.03(c) and Swing Line Advances by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section
2.02(b)) and of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated,
whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or
may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower,
declare all or any portion of the Notes, all interest thereon and all other
amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than
Secured Hedge Agreements unless the applicable Hedge Bank otherwise agrees) to
be forthwith due and payable, whereupon all or such portion, as applicable, of
the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided,
however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief
with respect to the Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (x) the
Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make
Advances (other than Letter of Credit Advances by the Issuing Bank or a
Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Advances by a
Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(b)) and of the Issuing Bank to
issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (y) the Notes, all
such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

     SECTION 6.02. Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default. If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative
Agent may, or shall at the request of the Required Lenders, irrespective of
whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section 6.01 or otherwise,
make demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand the Borrower
will, pay to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in same day
funds at the Collateral Agent's office designated in such demand, for deposit in
the Deposit Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Reserved Available Amount
of all Letters of Credit then outstanding. If at any time the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent determines that any funds held in the Deposit
Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agents
and the Lender Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the
aggregate Reserved Available Amount of all Letters of Credit, the Borrower will,
forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, pay
to the Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the
Deposit Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Reserved
Available Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the
Deposit Account that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon
the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds

                                       70

<PAGE>

are on deposit in the Deposit Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse
the Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, to the extent
permitted by applicable law.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                   THE AGENTS

     SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender Party (in its
capacities as a Lender, the Swing Line Bank (if applicable), the Issuing Bank
(if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge
Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on
its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and
thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), no
Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall
be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so
acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders
(or, if required hereby, all Lenders), and such instructions shall be binding
upon all Lender Parties and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that no
Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal
liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Each Agent
agrees to give to each Lender Party prompt notice of each notice given to it by
the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

     SECTION 7.02. Agents' Reliance, Etc. Neither any Agent nor any of their
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with
the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent:
(a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until, in the case of
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an
Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such
Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, or, in the case of any
other Agent, such Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent that
it has received and accepted such Assignment and Acceptance, in each case as
provided in Section 8.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel
for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected
by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall
not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or
representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan
Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence
at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property
(including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be
responsible to any Lender Party for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or
priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created
under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or
in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate
or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex)
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

     SECTION 7.03. Wachovia and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the
Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, if any, Wachovia shall have the
same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender Party and
may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent;

                                       71

<PAGE>

and the term "Lender Party" or "Lender Parties" shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include Wachovia in its individual capacity. Wachovia and
its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under
indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage
in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries and any
Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such
Subsidiary, all as if Wachovia was not an Agent and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lender Parties. No Agent shall have any duty to disclose any
information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to any
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was
obtained or received in any capacity other than as such Agent.

     SECTION 7.04. Lender Party Credit Decision. Each Lender Party acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other
Lender Party and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01
and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as
it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

     SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to
indemnify each Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) from and
against such Lender Party's ratable share (determined as provided below) of any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken
or omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the
"INDEMNIFIED COSTS"); provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable
for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation
of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon
demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section
8.04, to the extent that such Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs
and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or
proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies
whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any
Lender Party or any other Person.

          (b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender
Party's ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Issuing Bank in any way relating to or
arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Issuing
Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be
liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a
final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Issuing
Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the
Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that the Issuing Bank is not promptly
reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.

          (c) For purposes of this Section 7.05, the Lender Parties' respective
ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the
sum of (i) the aggregate principal Dollar

                                       72

<PAGE>

Amount of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective
Lender Parties, (ii) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available
Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and (iii) the aggregate
unused portions of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments at such time;
provided that the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of Swing Line Advances owing
to the Swing Line Bank and of Letter of Credit Advances owing to the Issuing
Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in
accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. The failure of
any Lender Party to reimburse any Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any Dollar Amount required to be
paid by the Lender Parties to such Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its
obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse such Agent or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party's ratable
share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender
Party contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of
principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents.

     SECTION 7.06. Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrower and may be removed
at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders; provided, however,
that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it has
also been replaced as Collateral Agent, Swing Line Bank and Issuing Bank and
released from all of its obligations in respect thereof. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after
the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders'
removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lender Parties, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank
organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent and, in the case of a
successor Collateral Agent, upon the execution and filing or recording of such
financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may
request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported
to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor Agent shall succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties
of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written
notice is given of the retiring Agent's resignation or removal under this
Section 7.06 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have
accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (a) the retiring Agent's
resignation or removal shall become effective, (b) the retiring Agent shall
thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents
and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring
Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent's
resignation or removal hereunder as Agent shall have become effective, the
provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

     SECTION 7.07. Bookrunner/ Co-Arranger, Co-Arranger, Syndication Agent and
Documentation Agent Have No Liability. It is understood and agreed that none of
the Bookrunner/ Co-Arranger, the Co-Arranger, the Syndication Agent or the
Documentation Agent have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this
Agreement whatsoever.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 8.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document (other than Secured Hedge
Agreements), nor consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent on
their behalf upon its receipt of the consent thereof) and the Borrower or the
applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided,
however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

          (a) waive any of the conditions, in the case of the Initial Extension
     of Credit, specified in Section 3.02, without the written consent of each
     Lender (other than any Lender that is, at such time, a Defaulting Lender);

          (b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any
     Commitment terminated pursuant to Article VI) without the written consent
     of such Lender;

          (c) postpone any date scheduled for any payment of principal or
     interest under Section 2.04 or 2.07, or any date fixed by the
     Administrative Agent for the payment of fees or other amounts due to the
     Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
     without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

          (d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein
     on, any Advance, or (subject to clause (v) of the second proviso to this
     Section 8.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any
     other Loan Document, or change the manner of computation of any financial
     ratio (including any change in any applicable defined term) used in
     determining the Applicable Margin that would result in a reduction of any
     interest rate on any Loan or any fee payable hereunder without the written

     only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend
     the definition of "Default Rate" or to waive any obligation of the Borrower
     to pay interest at the Default Rate or (ii) to amend any financial covenant
     hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such
     amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Advance or to
     reduce any fee payable hereunder;

          (e) change the order of application of any prepayment of Loans between
     the Facilities from the application thereof set forth in the applicable

     consent of each Lender, or change (i) the definition of "Required Lenders"
     without the written consent of each Lender or (ii) any other provision

     transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent
     of each Lender; or

          (h) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from
     the Subsidiary Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender;

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Issuing Bank, in addition to the Lenders required
above, affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or
any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to
be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing
and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required

amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only
by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not
be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

     SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies; Entire Agreement. No failure on the part
of any Lender Party or any Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right hereunder or under any Note or any other Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute
the entire agreement of the parties with respect hereto.

     SECTION 8.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand
(i) all costs and expenses of each Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of, or any
consent or waiver under, the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A)
all due diligence, collateral review, arrangement, syndication, transportation,
computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing
and recording fees and expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for each Agent with respect thereto, with respect to advising such Agent
as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection,
interpretation or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents,
with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events
or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting
claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar proceeding involving creditors' rights generally and any
proceeding ancillary thereto) and (ii) all costs and expenses of each Agent and
each Lender Party in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents,
whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar proceeding affecting creditors' rights generally (including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the
Administrative Agent and each Lender Party with respect thereto). The Borrower
further agrees to pay any stamp or other taxes that may be payable in connection
with the execution or delivery of any Loan Document.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold
harmless each Agent, each Lender Party and each of their Affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY") from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all
claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or
asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of
or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in
connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a
defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facilities, the actual or proposed use
of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or
any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any
acquisition or proposed acquisition (including, without limitation, the
Acquisition) by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates of all or
any portion of the Equity Interests in or Debt securities or substantially all
of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) the actual or
alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any
of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss,
liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or
other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or
creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any
Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the
Acquisition or the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The
Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against any Agent, any Lender Party
or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating
to the Facilities, the actual or

                                       76

<PAGE>

proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

          (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar
Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party
other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result
of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09(b)(i) or 2.10(d),
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any
other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender Party other than on the
last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights
and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a
demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a), or if the Borrower fails to
make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment
has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to
Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such
Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts
required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or
expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion
or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without
limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance.

          (d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or
other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be
paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
Party, in its sole discretion.

          (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any
Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and
obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12 and this Section
8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other
amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the
granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the
Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.01 or otherwise with the consent of the Required
Lenders, each Agent and each Lender Party and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise 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 Agent, such Lender Party
or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against
any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under
the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender Party
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and
although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender Party
agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Agent and each
Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
set-off) that such Agent, such Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may
have.

     SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Borrower and each Agent and the Administrative
Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender Party that such Initial
Lender Party has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender Party and their
respective

                                       77

<PAGE>

successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to
assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of the Lender Parties.

     SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may and, so
long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if demanded by the
Borrower (following a demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.12)
upon at least five Business Days' notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or
Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it);
provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person
that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any
Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the
Commitments and Advances being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to
such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $1,000,000 (or, in
each case, such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent
and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
effectiveness of such assignment, the Borrower) under each Facility for which a
Commitment or Advance is being assigned, (ii) each such assignment shall be to
an Eligible Assignee and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the
Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject
to such assignment and (except in the case of an assignment to a Person that,
immediately prior to such assignment, was an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of
the assigning Lender) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

          (b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and
after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or the Issuing Bank assignor
thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
(other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 8.04 to the extent any
claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender's or the Issuing Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

          (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each
Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and
agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i)
other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender
Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in
connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or
priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created
under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the
financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any
Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms
that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the
financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender Party
or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem

                                       78

<PAGE>

appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an
Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion
under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and
thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with
their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are
required to be performed by it as a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be.

          (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to
in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each Facility of, and principal
amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party from time
to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents
and the Lender Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Agent or any
Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

          (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject
to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and
Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C
hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information
contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the
Borrower and each other Agent. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within
five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own
expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for
the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee
in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each Facility pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a
Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a new Note to the order of such
assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder.
Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in
substantially the form of Exhibit A-1, A-2 or A-3 hereto, as the case may be.

          (f) The Issuing Bank may assign to an Eligible Assignee all of its
rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit
Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall
be to an Eligible Assignee and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

          (g) Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons
(other than any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and
the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender
Party's obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its
Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all
purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lender
Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in
connection with such Lender Party's rights and obligations under this Agreement
and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to
approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any
consent to any departure by any

                                       79

<PAGE>

Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or
consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or
other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or
substantially all of the Collateral.

          (h) Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender
Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any
such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant
shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information
received by it from such Lender Party.

          (i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement,
any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes
held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

          (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans may create a security interest
in all or any portion of the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by
it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such
fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided, that unless and
until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other
provisions of this Section 8.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging
Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such
trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under
the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights
with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

     SECTION 8.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Delivery by fax of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement
shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 8.09. No Liability of the Issuing Bank. The Borrower assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of
Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither the Issuing
Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for:
(a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of
any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if
such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Issuing Bank against presentation of
documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including
failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the
Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing
to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have
a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the
Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered
by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) the Issuing Bank's
willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents
presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of
Credit or (ii) the Issuing Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under a
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates
strictly

                                       80

<PAGE>

complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance
and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents
that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

     SECTION 8.10. Confidentiality. Neither any Agent nor any Lender Party shall
disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the
Borrower, other than (a) to such Agent's or such Lender Party's Affiliates and
their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or
prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential
basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c)
as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner
(including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar
organization or quasi-regulatory authority) regulating such Lender Party, (d) to
any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such
disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality
of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from
such Lender Party, (e) in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which
such Agent or such Lender Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party or (f)
in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document; provided, that, any Agent and any Lender Party (and
each employee, representative or other agent of such Agent or such Lender Party,
as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any
kind, the "tax treatment" and "tax structure" (in each case, within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the Acquisition and the transactions
contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other
tax analyses) that are provided to the Agent or such Lender Party relating to
such tax treatment and tax structure, except that, with respect to any document
or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax
treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this
proviso shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that
relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Acquisition and the
transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower does not intend to treat the
Advances and related transactions as being a "reportable transaction" (within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). Each Loan Party
acknowledges that one or more of the Lender Parties may treat the Advances as
part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 or
Section 301.6112-1, and the Administrative Agent and such Lender Party or Lender
Parties, as applicable, may file such IRS forms or maintain such lists and other
records as they may determine is required by such Treasury Regulations.

     SECTION 8.11. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment
in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other
Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used
shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency
on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The
obligation of each of the Loan Parties in respect of any such sum due from it to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment
Currency") other than U.S. dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the
Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of any
sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or
such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S.
dollars with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of U.S. dollars so purchased
is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
in U.S. dollars, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and

                                                                       TERM NOTE

                                    TERM NOTE

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the "BORROWER"), hereby promises
to pay to __________________ or registered assigns (the "LENDER"), in accordance
with the provisions of the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the principal
amount of the Term Loan Advance made by the Lender to the Borrower under that
certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2003 (as amended, restated,
extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the
"AGREEMENT"; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined),
among the Borrower, the Lenders and agents from time to time party thereto,
Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Bank
and Issuing Bank.

          The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount
of the Term Loan Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal
amount is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in
the Agreement. All payments of principal and interest shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender in British Pounds Sterling in
immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent's Account (or such other
account as directed by the Administrative Agent). If any amount is not paid in
full when due hereunder, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon
demand, from the due date thereof until the date of actual payment (and before
as well as after judgment) computed at the per annum rate set forth in the
Agreement.

          This Term Note is one of the Term Notes referred to in the Agreement,
is entitled to the benefits thereof and may be prepaid in whole or in part
subject to the terms and conditions provided therein. This Term Note is also
entitled to the benefits of the Subsidiary Guaranty and is secured by the
Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuation of one or more of the Events of
Default specified in the Agreement, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this
Term Note shall become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable
all as provided in the Agreement. The Lender may also attach schedules to this
Term Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Term Loan
Advance and payments with respect thereto.

          The Borrower, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby waives
diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest, demand,
dishonor and non-payment of this Term Note.

          THIS TERM NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

giving effect to such sale and assignment, such Assignee's Commitments and the
amount of the Advances owing to such Assignee will be as set forth on Schedule 1
hereto.

          2. Such Assignor (i) represents and warrants that its name set forth
on Schedule 1 hereto is its legal name, that it is the legal and beneficial
owner of the interest or interests being assigned by it hereunder and that such
interest or interests are free and clear of any adverse claim; (ii) makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan

under the terms of such Loan Documents to survive the payment in full of the
Obligations of the Advance Parties under the Loan Documents to the extent any
claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to the Effective Date of this
