in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the
Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender thereunder.

         3.       Following the execution of this Assumption Agreement by New
Lender, it will be delivered to Agent for recording. The effective date of this
Assumption Agreement shall be the Joinder Effective Date. Agent hereby accepts
this Assumption Agreement.

and among Borrowers and Agent, referred to in Section 2.11(c) of the Loan
Agreement, and New Lender agrees that such fees shall be for the sole account of
Agent.

         8.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan
Agreement or this Assumption Agreement, in no event shall Foothill, in its
capacity as Lender, assign or sell a participating interest in any of its
Commitment if the effect of such sale or assignment would result in Foothill
owning and controlling, both beneficially and legally, less than the amount of
the Commitment owned and controlled, both beneficially and legally, by New
Lender; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply in the
event of any assignment made in connection with the merger, consolidation, sale,
transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the business or loan

reappraised by a qualified appraisal company selected by Agent from time to
time after the Closing Date for the purpose of redetermining the Net
Liquidation Percentage of the Eligible Inventory portion of the Collateral and,
as a result, redetermining the Borrowing Base.

         (c) The Lenders with Commitments shall have no obligation to make
additional Advances hereunder to the extent such additional Advances would
cause the Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount.

         (d) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section may be repaid and,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time
during the term of this Agreement.

2.2      INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

2.3      BORROWING PROCEDURES AND SETTLEMENTS.

         (a) PROCEDURE FOR BORROWING. Each Borrowing shall be made by an
irrevocable written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent (which
notice must be received by Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (Georgia time) on the
Business Day prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date in the case
of a request for an Advance specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and
(ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day; provided,
however, that in the case of a request for Swing Loan in an amount of
$5,000,000, or less, such notice will be timely received if it is received by
Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (Georgia time) on the Business Day that is the
requested Funding Date) specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii)
the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day. At Agent's election,
in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized
Person may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time,
with such telephonic notice to be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the
giving of such notice.

         (b) AGENT'S ELECTION. Promptly after receipt of a request for a
Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall elect, in its discretion, (i)
to have the terms of Section 2.3(c) apply to such requested Borrowing, or (ii)
if the Borrowing is for an Advance, to request Swing Lender to make a Swing
Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3(d) in the amount of the requested
Borrowing; provided, however, that if Swing Lender declines in its sole
discretion to make a Swing Loan pursuant to Section 2.3(d), Agent shall elect
to have the terms of Section 2.3(c) apply to such requested Borrowing.

         (c)      MAKING OF ADVANCES.

                  (i)      In the event that Agent shall elect to have the
         terms of this Section 2.3(c) apply to a requested Borrowing as
         described in Section 2.3(b), then promptly after receipt of a request
         for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the
         Lenders, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Georgia time) on the Business Day
         immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto, by
         telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the
         requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such
         Lender's Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent
         in immediately available funds, to Agent's Account, not later than
         1:00 p.m. (Georgia time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After
         Agent's receipt of the proceeds of such Advances, upon satisfaction of
         the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof,
         Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Administrative
         Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately
         available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to
         Administrative Borrower's Designated Account; provided, however, that,
         subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(i), Agent shall not request
         any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make,
         any Advance if Agent shall have actual knowledge that (1) one or more
         of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not
         be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable
         Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested
         Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date.

                  (ii)     Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender on or
         prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the
         Closing Date, at least 1 Business Day prior to the date of such
         Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when
         required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of
         that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that
         each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in
         immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may (but
         shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make
         available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to
         the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to
         Agent in immediately available funds and Agent in such circumstances
         has made available to Borrowers such amount, that Lender shall on the
         Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to
         Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each
         day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with
         respect to amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive,
         absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such
         payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender's Advance on the date of
         Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not
         made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding
         Date, Agent will notify Administrative Borrower of such failure to
         fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to
         Agent for Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day
         elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to
         the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing
         such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to

                                      33
<PAGE>

         make any Advance on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other
         Lender of any obligation hereunder to make an Advance on such Funding
         Date, 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 any
         Funding Date.

                  (iii)    Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a
         Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrowers to Agent for the
         Defaulting Lender's benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to
         the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments to each
         other non-Defaulting Lender member of the Lender Group ratably in
         accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent that such
         Defaulting Lender's Advance was funded by the other members of the
         Lender Group) or, if so directed by Administrative Borrower and if no
         Default or Event of Default had occurred and is continuing (and to the
         extent such Defaulting Lender's Advance was not funded by the Lender
         Group), retain same to be re-advanced to Borrowers as if such
         Defaulting Lender had made Advances to Borrowers. Subject to the
         foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to
         Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all
         such payments received and retained by it for the account of such
         Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to
         matters with respect to the Loan Documents, such Defaulting Lender
         shall be deemed not to be a "Lender" and such Lender's Commitment
         shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall remain effective with
         respect to such Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement
         shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and
         payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Administrative
         Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender's default in
         writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the
         applicable Advance and pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting
         Lender in respect thereof. The operation of this Section shall not be
         construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any
         Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender
         or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to
         relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their duties and
         obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such
         Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender
         shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this
         Agreement and shall entitle Administrative Borrower at its option,
         upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to
         assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute
         Lender to be acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement
         of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right
         to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver
         a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in favor of
         the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have
         executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject
         only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other
         than Bank Product Obligations) (including an assumption of its Pro
         Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or
         penalty of any kind whatsoever; provided further, however, that any
         such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not
         be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups' or
         Borrowers' rights

                                      34
<PAGE>

         or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in
         relation to such failure to fund.

         (d)      MAKING OF SWING LOANS.

                  (i)      In the event Agent shall elect, with the consent of
         Swing Lender, as a Lender, to have the terms of this Section 2.3(d)
         apply to a requested Borrowing as described in Section 2.3(b), Swing
         Lender as a Lender shall make such Advance in the amount of such
         Borrowing (any such Advance made solely by Swing Lender as a Lender
         pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) being referred to as a "Swing Loan"
         and such Advances being referred to collectively as "Swing Loans")
         available to Borrowers on the Funding Date applicable thereto by
         transferring immediately available funds to Administrative Borrower's
         Designated Account. Each Swing Loan is an Advance hereunder and shall
         be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other
         Advances and all payments on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing
         Lender as a Lender solely for its own account (and for the account of
         the holder of any participation interest with respect to such Swing
         Loan). Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(i), Agent shall not
         request Swing Lender as a Lender to make, and Swing Lender as a Lender
         shall not make, any Swing Loan if Agent has actual knowledge that (i)
         one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
         Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the
         applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (ii)
         the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding
         Date. Swing Lender as a Lender shall not otherwise be required to
         determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
         Section 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto
         prior to making, in its sole discretion, any Swing Loan.

                  (ii)     The Swing Loans shall be secured by the Agent's
         Liens, shall constitute Advances and Obligations hereunder, and shall
         bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances
         that are Base Rate Loans.

         (e)      AGENT ADVANCES.

                  (i)      Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the
         Lenders, from time to time in Agent's sole discretion, (1) after the
         occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of
         Default, or (2) at any time that any of the other applicable
         conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have not been satisfied,
         to make Advances to Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders that Agent, in
         its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve
         or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the
         likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank
         Product Obligations), or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to
         Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Lender
         Group Expenses and the costs, fees, and expenses described in Section
         10 (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(e) shall be
         referred to as "Agent Advances"). Each Agent Advance is an Advance
         hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions
         applicable to other Advances and

                                      35
<PAGE>

         all payments thereon shall be payable to Agent solely for its own
         account (and for the account of the holder of any participation
         interest with respect to such Agent Advance).

                  (ii)     The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand by
         the Borrowers and secured by the Agent's Liens granted to Agent under
         the Loan Documents, shall constitute Advances and Obligations
         hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to
         time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans.

         (f)      SETTLEMENT. It is agreed that each Lender's funded portion of
the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding,
Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be
for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among
them as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Agent Advances shall take
place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

                  (i)      Agent shall request settlement ("Settlement") with
         the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so
         determined by Agent, (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to
         each outstanding Swing Loan, (2) for itself, with respect to each
         Agent Advance, and (3) with respect to Collections received, as to
         each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar
         form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 4:00
         p.m. (Georgia time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date
         of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement
         being the "Settlement Date"). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall
         include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances,
         Swing Loans, and Agent Advances for the period since the prior
         Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein
         (including Section 2.3(c)(iii)): (y) if a Lender's balance of the
         Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances exceeds such Lender's Pro
         Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances as of a
         Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (Georgia
         time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds
         to the account of such Lender as such Lender may designate, an amount
         such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as
         of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing
         Loans, and Agent Advances, and (z) if a Lender's balance of the
         Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances is less than such Lender's
         Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances as of
         a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 3:00 p.m. (Georgia
         time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds
         to the Agent's Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall,
         upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro
         Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances. Such
         amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately
         preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the
         applicable Swing Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion
         of such Swing Loan or Agent Advance representing Swing Lender's Pro

                                      36
<PAGE>

         Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any
         such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the
         Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms
         hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount
         on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the
         Defaulting Lender Rate.

                  (ii)     In determining whether a Lender's balance of the
         Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances is less than, equal to, or
         greater than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing
         Loans, and Agent Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as
         part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of
         payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to
         principal, interest and fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to the
         Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral. To the extent that a
         net amount is owed to any such Lender after such application, such net
         amount shall be distributed by Agent to that Lender as part of such
         next Settlement.

                  (iii)    Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no
         Agent Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing
         Lender any payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the
         terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the
         Advances, for application to Swing Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
         Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections received since
         the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to
         Swing Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing
         Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall
         pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to
         the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such
         Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such
         amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the
         Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Lender
         with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and
         each Lender (subject to the effect of letter agreements between Agent
         and individual Lenders) with respect to the Advances other than Swing
         Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the
         applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily
         amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as
         applicable.

         (g)      NOTATION. Agent shall record on its books the principal
amount of the Advances owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to
Swing Lender, and Agent Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of
each Lender, from time to time. In addition, each Lender is authorized, at such
Lender's option, to note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of
principal of such Lender's Advances in its books and records, including
computer records, such books and records constituting conclusive evidence,
absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the information contained therein.

         (h)      LENDERS' FAILURE TO PERFORM. All Advances (other than Swing
Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender
shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its
obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit)

                                      37
<PAGE>

hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as
a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations
hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations
hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

         (i)      OPTIONAL OVERADVANCES. Any contrary provision of this
Agreement notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize Agent or Swing Lender,
as applicable, and Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not
obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including
Swing Loans) to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby
would be created, so long as (i) after giving effect to such Advances
(including a Swing Loan), the Revolver Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base
by more than $1,000,000, (ii) after giving effect to such Advances (including
any Swing Loan) the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding
amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group
Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, and (iii) at the time of
the making of any such Advance (including a Swing Loan), Agent does not
believe, in good faith, that the Overadvance created by such Advance will be
outstanding for more than 30 days. The foregoing provisions are for the
exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended
to benefit Borrowers in any way. The Advances and Swing Loans, as applicable,
that are made pursuant to this Section 2.3(i) shall be subject to the same
terms and conditions as any other Advance or Swing Loan, as applicable and the
rate of interest applicable thereto shall be the rate applicable to Advances
that are Base Rate Loans under Section 2.6(c) hereof without regard to the
presence or absence of a Default or Event of Default, provided that upon such
Default or Event of Default, the rate of interest applicable to any Advance
hereunder shall be increased to the interest rate applicable pursuant to
Section 2.6(c).

         (j)      In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Revolver
Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the preceding paragraph, regardless of
the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify Lenders as soon
as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional
Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for
interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior
notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value), and the
Lenders with Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly
determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrowers
and intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal
amount of the Advances to Borrowers to an amount permitted by the preceding
paragraph. In the event Agent or any Lender disagrees over the terms of
reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment
thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required
Lenders.

         (k)      Each Lender with a Commitment shall be obligated to settle
with Agent as provided in Section 2.3(f) for the amount of such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender,
any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.3(i), and
any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest,
fees, or Lender Group Expenses.

         2.4      PAYMENTS.

                                      38
<PAGE>

         (a)      PAYMENTS BY BORROWERS.

                  (i)      Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
         payments by Borrowers shall be made to Agent's Account for the account
         of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds,
         no later than 2:00 p.m. (Georgia time) on the date specified herein.
         Any payment received by Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (Georgia time)
         shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day
         and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such
         following Business Day.

                  (ii)     Unless Agent receives notice from Administrative
         Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders
         that Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when
         required, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made (or will make)
         such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available
         funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon
         such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount
         equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent
         Borrowers do not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when
         due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount
         distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the
         Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is
         distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

         (b)      APPORTIONMENT AND APPLICATION.

                  (i)      Except as otherwise provided with respect to
         Defaulting Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan
         Documents (including letter agreements between Agent and individual
         Lenders), aggregate principal and interest payments shall be
         apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid
         principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate
         held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than
         fees or expenses that are for Agent's separate account, after giving
         effect to any letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders)
         shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders. All payments shall be
         remitted to Agent and all such payments (other than payments received
         while no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
         and which relate to the payment of principal or interest of specific
         Obligations or which relate to the payment of specific fees), and all
         proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by Agent, shall be
         applied as follows:

                           (A)      first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses
                  then due to Agent or Issuing Lender under the Loan Documents,
                  until paid in full,

                           (B)      second, to pay any Lender Group Expenses
                  then due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, on a
                  ratable basis, until paid in full,

                                      39
<PAGE>

                           (C)      third, to pay any fees then due to Agent
                  (for its separate account, after giving effect to any letter
                  agreements between Agent and the individual Lenders) under
                  the Loan Documents until paid in full,

                           (D)      fourth, to pay any fees then due to any or
                  all of the Lenders (after giving effect to any letter
                  agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) under the
                  Loan Documents, on a ratable basis, until paid in full,

                           (E)      fifth, to pay interest due in respect of
                  all Agent Advances, until paid in full,

                           (F)      sixth, ratably to pay interest due in
                  respect of the Advances (other than Agent Advances) and the
                  Swing Loans until paid in full,

                           (G)      seventh, to pay the principal of all Agent
                  Advances until paid in full,

                           (H)      eighth, to pay the principal of all Swing
                  Loans until paid in full,

                           (I)      ninth, to pay the principal of all Advances
                  until paid in full,

                           (J)      tenth, if an Event of Default has occurred
                  and is continuing, to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the
                  ratable benefit of Issuing Lender and those Lenders having a
                  Revolver Commitment, as cash collateral in an amount up to
                  105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage until paid in
                  full,

                           (K)      eleventh, to pay any other Obligations
                  owing to any of Agent or Lenders until paid in full,

                           (L)      twelfth, if (1)(X) an Event of Default has
                  occurred and is continuing, and (Y) the Commitments have been
                  terminated, or the Agent is exercising remedies to enforce
                  its Lien against the Collateral as a secured party pursuant
                  to the Code, or (2) the Agent or Borrowers are otherwise
                  liquidating all or substantially all of the Collateral, to
                  pay all Bank Product Obligations until paid in full, and

                           (M)      thirteenth, to Borrower (to be wired to the
                  Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto
                  under applicable law.

                  (ii)     Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender,
         pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender
         in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a
         Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(h).

                  (iii)    In each instance, so long as no Default or Event of
         Default has occurred and is continuing, Section 2.4(b) shall not be
         deemed to apply to any

                                      40
<PAGE>

         payment by Borrowers specified by Borrowers to be for the payment of
         specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any
         provision of this Agreement.

                  (iv)     For purposes of the foregoing, "paid in full" means
         payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the
         terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees,
         interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the
         commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest
         on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would
         be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency
         Proceeding.

                  (v)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the
         Applicable Prepayment Premium shall not be paid to any Lender until
         all other Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) have been
         paid in full.

                  (vi)     In the event of a direct conflict between the
         priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and other provisions contained
         in any other Loan Document, but subject to set-off rights of Funds
         Management Bank provided in Section 16.13(b), it is the intention of
         the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents
         shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible,
         to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual,
         irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the
         terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern.

         2.5      OVERADVANCES. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount
of Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) owed by Borrowers to the
Lender Group pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.12 is greater than either the
Dollar or percentage limitations set forth in Sections 2.1 or 2.12, (an
"Overadvance"), Borrowers immediately shall pay to Agent, in cash, the amount
of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the Obligations
in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b). In addition,
Borrowers hereby promise to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest,
fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full to the Lender Group as and when
due and payable under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

                                      41

         2.6      INTEREST RATES AND LETTER OF CREDIT FEE: RATES, PAYMENTS, AND
CALCULATIONS.

                  (a)      INTEREST RATES. Except as provided in clause (c)
below, all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for
Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant
to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof, at a per
annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.

         The foregoing notwithstanding, at no time shall any portion of the
Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) bear interest on the Daily
Balance thereof at a per annum rate less than 7%. To the extent that interest
accrued hereunder at the rate set forth herein would be less than the foregoing
minimum daily rate, the interest rate chargeable hereunder for such day
automatically shall be deemed increased to such minimum rate.

                  (b)      LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. Borrowers shall pay Agent (for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders with a Commitment, subject to any letter
agreement between Agent and individual Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in
addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in Section
2.12(e)) which shall accrue at a rate equal to 3% per annum times the Daily
Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

                  (c)      DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default (and at the election of Agent or the
Required Lenders),

                           (i)      all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters
                  of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have
                  been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof
                  shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per
                  annum rate equal to 4 percentage points above the per annum
                  rate otherwise applicable hereunder, and

                           (ii)     the Letter of Credit fee provided for above
                  shall be increased to 4 percentage points above the per annum
                  rate otherwise applicable hereunder.

                  (d)      PAYMENT. Interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all
other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first
day of each month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding.
Borrowers hereby authorize Agent, from time to time without prior notice to
Borrowers, to charge such interest and fees, all Lender Group Expenses (as and
when incurred), the charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in
Section 2.12(e) (as and when accrued or incurred), the fees and costs provided
for in Section 2.11 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments
as and when due and payable to Agent, any Lender or Issuing Lender under any
Loan Document to Borrowers' Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall
constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then
applicable to Advances hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be
charged to Borrowers' Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute Advances
hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances
that are Base Rate Loans hereunder.

                  (e)      COMPUTATION. All interest and fees chargeable under
the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the
actual number of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time
to time hereafter, the rates of interest

                                      42
<PAGE>

hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be
increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.

                  (f)      INTENT TO LIMIT CHARGES TO MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE.
Borrowers and the Lender Group hereby agree and stipulate that the only charges
imposed upon Borrowers for the use of money in connection with this Agreement
are and shall be the specific interest and fees described in this Article 2 and
in any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers and the
Lender Group further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication
fees, facility fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding
or "breakage" charges, increased cost charges, the Applicable Prepayment
Premium, "float" or "clearance" charges, attorneys' fees and reimbursement for
costs and expenses paid by the Lender Group to third parties or for damages
incurred by the Lender Group are charges to compensate the Lender Group for
underwriting and administrative services and costs or losses performed or
incurred, and to be performed and incurred, by the Lender Group in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall the amount
of interest and other charges for the use of money payable under this Agreement
exceed the maximum amounts permissible under any law that a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and
the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to
agree upon the rate or rates of interest and other charges for the use of money
and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the amount of such
interest and other charges for the use of money or manner of payment exceeds
the maximum amount allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto as of the
date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment
of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in
excess of such legal maximum whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the
principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

         2.7      CASH MANAGEMENT.

                  (a)      Borrowers shall (i) establish and maintain cash
management services of a type and on terms satisfactory to Agent one or more of
the banks set forth on Schedule 2.7(a) (each, a "Cash Management Bank"), and
shall request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure
that all of its Account Debtors that are Dealers forward payment of the amounts
owed by them directly to such Cash Management Bank, and (ii) deposit or cause
to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day
after the date of receipt thereof, all Collections (including those sent
directly by Account Debtors (including retail Account Debtors with respect to
Accounts not transferred to the Warehouse Facility) to a Cash Management Bank
but not including proceeds from the Warehouse Facility or the Servicer Advance
Facility that are deposited into the Concentration Account) into the Foothill
Account or any other bank account in Agent's name (each, a "Cash Management
Account") at one of the Cash Management Banks. Borrowers shall deposit, or
cause to be deposited all funds available to Borrowers (including, without
limitation, proceeds from the Warehouse Facility and Servicer Advance Facility)
into the Concentration Account (x) within 1 Business Day of any borrowing under
the Warehouse Facility, and (y) in the case of all other funds, as
expeditiously as possible.

                  (b)      Borrowers shall cause each Cash Management Bank to
establish and maintain Cash Management Agreements with Agent and Borrowers, in
form and substance

                                      43
<PAGE>

acceptable to Agent. Except for the Depository Account Agreement, each such
Cash Management Agreement shall provide, among other things, that (i) all items
of payment deposited in such Cash Management Account and proceeds thereof are
held by such Cash Management Bank as agent or bailee-in-possession for Agent,
(ii) the Cash Management Bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any
other claim against the applicable Cash Management Account, other than for
payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the
administration of such Cash Management Account and for returned checks or other
items of payment, and (iii) upon instruction from Agent, such Cash Management
Bank shall immediately forward by daily sweep all amounts in the applicable
Cash Management Account to the Agent's Account. At the election of Agent in its
reasonable discretion, Agent may direct Borrowers and a Cash Management Bank
to, and Borrowers agree to, cause a sweep of all amounts in such Cash
Management Accounts into Agent's Account if, (A) as of any date of
determination, there are outstanding Advances and Borrowing Base Availability
is less than $20,000,000, or (B) any Event of Default exists. Any funds swept
to the Agent's Account pursuant to clause (A) of the previous sentence shall be
applied to repay the outstanding Advances with any excess refunded to
Borrowers, and any funds swept to Agent's Account pursuant to clause (B) of the
previous sentence shall be applied to Borrowers' Obligations or refunded to
Borrowers as set forth in Section 2.4.

                  (c)      So long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Administrative Borrower may amend Schedule 2.7(a)
to add or replace a Cash Management Bank or Cash Management Account; provided,
however, that (i) such prospective Cash Management Bank shall be satisfactory
to Agent and Agent shall have consented in writing in advance to the opening of
such Cash Management Account with the prospective Cash Management Bank, and
(ii) prior to the time of the opening of such Cash Management Account,
Borrowers and such prospective Cash Management Bank shall have executed and
delivered to Agent a Cash Management Agreement. Borrowers shall close any of
their Cash Management Accounts (and establish replacement cash management
accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event
within 30 days of notice from Agent that the creditworthiness of any Cash
Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment, or as
promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days of notice from Agent
that the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or
performance of the Cash Management Bank with respect to Cash Management
Accounts or Agent's liability under any Cash Management Agreement with such
Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment.

                  (d)      The Cash Management Accounts shall be cash
collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and similar items of payment in such
accounts securing payment of the Obligations, and in which Borrowers are hereby
deemed to have granted a Lien to Agent. Borrowers shall not establish or
maintain any concentration accounts other than the Concentration Account.

         2.8      CREDITING PAYMENTS; FLOAT CHARGE. The receipt of any payment
item by Agent (whether from transfers to Agent by the Cash Management Banks
pursuant to the Cash Management Agreements or otherwise) shall not be
considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of
immediately available federal funds made to the Agent's Account or unless and
until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any
payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers shall be
deemed

                                      44
<PAGE>

not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly.
Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item
shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into the Agent's
Account on a Business Day on or before 2:00 p.m. (Georgia time). If any payment
item is received into the Agent's Account on a non-Business Day or after 2:00
p.m. (Georgia time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received
by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business
Day.

         2.9      DESIGNATED ACCOUNT. Agent is authorized to make the Advances,
and Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this
Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone
purporting to be an Authorized Person, or without instructions if pursuant to
Section 2.6(d). Administrative Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the
Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of
receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrowers and made by Agent
or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Administrative
Borrower, any Advance, Agent Advance, or Swing Loan requested by Borrowers and
made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.

         2.10     MAINTENANCE OF LOAN ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS OF OBLIGATIONS. Agent
shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the "Loan
Account") on which Borrowers will be charged with all Advances (including Agent
Advances and Swing Loans) made by Agent, Swing Lender, or the Lenders to
Borrowers or for Borrowers' account, the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing
Lender for Borrowers' account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank Product Obligations),
including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In
accordance with Section 2.8, the Loan Account will be credited with all
payments received by Agent from Borrowers or for Borrowers' account, including
all amounts received in the Agent's Account from any Cash Management Bank.
Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Administrative
Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of
all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, and such
statements shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and
constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender Group unless,
within 30 days after receipt thereof by Administrative Borrower, Administrative
Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error
or errors contained in any such statements.

         2.11     FEES. Borrowers shall pay to Agent the following fees and
charges, which fees and charges shall be non-refundable when paid (irrespective
of whether this Agreement is terminated thereafter) and shall be apportioned
among the Lenders in accordance with the terms of letter agreements between
Agent and individual Lenders:

                  (a)      UNUSED LINE FEE. On the first day of each month
during the term of this Agreement, payable in arrears, an unused line fee in an
amount equal to 0.50% per annum times the result of (a) the Maximum Revolver
Amount, less (b) the sum of (i) the average Daily Balance of Advances that were
outstanding during the immediately preceding month, plus (ii) the average Daily
Balance of the Letter of Credit Usage during the immediately preceding month,

                                      45
<PAGE>

                  (b)      FEE LETTER FEES. As and when due and payable under
the terms of the Fee Letter, Borrowers shall pay to Agent the fees set forth in
the Fee Letter, and

                  (c)      AUDIT, APPRAISAL, AND VALUATION CHARGES. For the
separate account of Agent (or, in the case of clause (i) below, the Lenders, as
applicable), audit, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges as follows, (i) a
fee of $850 per day, per auditor, plus out-of-pocket expenses for each
financial audit of a Borrower performed by personnel employed by Agent or a
Lender, (ii) if implemented, a one time charge of $5,000 plus out-of-pocket
expenses for expenses for the establishment of electronic collateral reporting
systems, (iii) a fee of $1,500 per day per appraiser, plus out-of-pocket
expenses, for each appraisal of the Collateral performed by personnel employed
by Agent, and (iv) the actual charges paid or incurred by Agent if it elects to
employ the services of one or more third Persons to perform financial audits of
Borrowers, to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or to assess a
Borrower's business valuation.

         2.12     LETTERS OF CREDIT

                  (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account
of Borrowers (each, an "L/C") or to purchase participations or execute
indemnities or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an "L/C
Undertaking") with respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer
(as of the Closing Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer is to be Wells Fargo
or any National Association of Insurance Commissioners approved bank Affiliate
of Wells Fargo) for the account of Borrowers. To request the issuance of an L/C
or an L/C Undertaking (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an
outstanding L/C or L/C Undertaking), Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver
or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing
so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and Agent
(reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal,
or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of an L/C or L/C Undertaking, or
identifying the L/C or L/C Undertaking to be amended, renewed, or extended, the
date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, the date on which such L/C
or L/C Undertaking is to expire, the amount of such L/C or L/C Undertaking, the
name and address of the beneficiary thereof (or of the Underlying Letter of
Credit, as applicable), and such other information as shall be necessary to
prepare, amend, renew, or extend such L/C or L/C Undertaking. If requested by
the Issuing Lender, Borrowers also shall be an applicant under the application
with respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an
L/C Undertaking. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter
of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the
requested Letter of Credit:

                           (i)      the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the
                  Borrowing Base less the amount of outstanding Advances, or

                           (ii)     the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed
                  $45,000,000, or

                           (iii)    the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the
                  Maximum Revolver Amount less the then extant amount of
                  outstanding Advances.

                  Borrowers and the Lender Group acknowledge and agree that
certain Underlying Letters of Credit may be issued to support letters of credit
that already are outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit (and
corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall have an expiry date no later
than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date and all such Letters of Credit (and
corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance
acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion),
including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable
in Dollars. If Issuing Lender is obligated to advance funds under a Letter of
Credit, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Issuing
Lender by paying to Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later
than 2:00 p.m., Georgia time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made,
if Administrative Borrower shall have received written or telephonic notice of
such L/C Disbursement prior to 1:00 p.m., Georgia time, on such date, or, if
such notice has not been received by Administrative Borrower prior to such time
on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Georgia time, on (i) the Business
Day that Administrative Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is
received prior to 1:00 p.m., Georgia time, on the date of receipt, and, in the
absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and
automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall
bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans
under Section 2.6. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance
hereunder, Borrowers' obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by
Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall
distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders
have made payments pursuant to Section 2.12(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender,
then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.

                  (b)      Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C
Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.12(a), each Lender with a Commitment agrees
to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing
subsection on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested such
Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received
by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment
to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further
action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Commitments, the
Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a
Commitment, and each Lender with a Commitment shall be deemed to have
purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its
Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit,
and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing
Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender
under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Lender with a Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not
reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in clause (a) of this
Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrowers
for any reason. Each Lender with a Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an
amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to this Section 2.12(b)
shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made
notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or
Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3 hereof.
If any such Lender fails to make available to

                                      47
<PAGE>

Agent the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the
Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section,
Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such
amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the
Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

                  (c)      Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save,
defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or
liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by any one or more members of
the Lender Group arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit;
provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify
for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of
the Lender Group. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer's
regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by
Issuing Lender's interpretations of any L/C issued by Issuing Lender to or for
such Borrower's account, even though this interpretation may be different from
such Borrower's own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that the Lender
Group shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of
omission or commission, in following Borrowers' instructions or those contained
in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements
thereto. Each Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may require
Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or
liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer.
Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender
Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable
attorneys fees), or liability incurred by any one or more members of the Lender
Group under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the Lender Group's
indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower
shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or
liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group.

                  (d)      Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any
Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents,
and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to
such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing
Lender's instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with
such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.

                  (e)      Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs
incurred by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall
be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately shall
be reimbursable by Borrowers to Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it
being acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date,
the issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is $300 per
Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any backup Letter of Credit or
replacement Letter of Credit), that such issuance charge may be changed from
time to time, that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for
amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals, and that the annual usage fee
imposed by the Underlying Issuer for each such Letter of Credit is .825% per
annum times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit (prorated based
upon the number of days such Letter of Credit remains outstanding), which fee
shall be payable by Borrowers monthly in arrears.

                  (f)      If by reason of (i) any change in any applicable
law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or
application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the
Underlying Issuer or any one or more members of the Lender Group with any
direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of
law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation
D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any
successor thereto):

                           (i)      any reserve, deposit, or similar
                  requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of
                  any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or

                           (ii)     there shall be imposed on the Underlying
                  Issuer or the Lender Group any other condition regarding any
                  Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued
                  pursuant hereto,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the
cost to any one or more members of the Lender Group of issuing, making,
guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount
receivable in respect thereof by any one or more members of the Lender Group,
then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period
after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify
Administrative Borrower, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as
Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Lender Group for such
additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from
the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. The determination by Agent of any
amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate setting
forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of
manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of
the parties hereto.

         2.13     INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

         2.14     CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. If, after the date hereof, any Lender
determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or
guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or
any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental
Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such
Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or
directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having
the force of law), the effect of reducing the return on such Lender's or such
holding company's capital as a consequence of such Lender's Commitments
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could
have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's or such holding company's then existing policies
with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such
entity's capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such
Lender may notify Administrative Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt
of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such
reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable
within 90 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount
and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender's calculation thereof and the
assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be
deemed true and

                                      49
<PAGE>

correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use
any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

         2.15     JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF BORROWERS.

                  (a)      Each of Borrowers is accepting joint and several
liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the
financial accommodations to be provided by the Agent and the Lenders under this
Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of
Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to
accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

                  (b)      Each of Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a
co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect
to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without
limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.15), it being the
intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and
several obligations of each Person composing Borrowers without preferences or
distinction among them.

                  (c)      If and to the extent that any of Borrowers shall
fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due
or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then
in each such event the other Persons composing Borrowers will make such payment
with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

                  (d)      The Obligations of each Person composing Borrowers
under the provisions of this Section 2.15 constitute the absolute and
unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Person composing Borrowers
enforceable against each such Borrower to the full extent of its properties and
assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

                  (e)      Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, each Person composing Borrowers hereby waives notice of acceptance
of its joint and several liability, notice of any Advances or Letters of Credit
issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any
Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this
Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Agent or
Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of
diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in
connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement). Each Person composing Borrowers hereby assents to, and waives
notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of
the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the
acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action
or acquiescence by Agent or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any
default by any Person composing Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction of
any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other
indulgences whatsoever by Agent or Lenders in respect of any of the
Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in
part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the
addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Person composing
Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Borrowers
assents to any other action or

                                      50
<PAGE>

delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Agent or Lender with
respect to the failure by any Person composing Borrowers to comply with any of
its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly
or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully
with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the
provisions of this Section 2.15 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or
relieving any Person composing Borrowers, in whole or in part, from any of its
Obligations under this Section 2.15, it being the intention of each Person
composing Borrowers that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain
unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Person composing Borrowers under this
Section 2.15 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the
extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Person composing Borrowers
under this Section 2.15 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by
any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or
similar proceeding with respect to any Person composing Borrowers or any Agent
or Lender. The joint and several liability of the Persons composing Borrowers
hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any
absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name,
constitution or place of formation of any of the Persons composing Borrowers or
any Agent or Lender.

                  (f)      Each Person composing Borrowers represents and
warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the
financial condition of Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a
diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Obligations. Each Person composing Borrowers further represents and warrants to
Agent and Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Person composing Borrowers hereby
covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers'
financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and
of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or
nonperformance of the Obligations.

                  (g)      Each of the Persons composing Borrowers waives all
rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Agent or any
Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial
foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed
the Agent's or such Lender's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against
such Borrower under applicable law.

                  (h)      Each of the Persons composing Borrowers waives all
rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the Obligations are
secured by Real Property. This means, among other things:

                           (i)      Agent and Lenders may collect from such
                  Borrower without first foreclosing on any Real or Personal
                  Property Collateral pledged by Borrowers.

                           (ii)     If Agent or any Lender forecloses on any
                  Real Property Collateral pledged by Borrowers:

                                    (A)      The amount of the Obligations may
                           be reduced only by the price for which that
                           collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if
                           the collateral is worth more than the sale price.

                                      51
<PAGE>

                                    (B)      Agent and Lenders may collect from
                           such Borrower even if Agent or Lenders, by
                           foreclosing on the Real Property Collateral, have
                           destroyed any right such Borrower may have to
                           collect from the other Borrowers.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such
Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property.

                  (i)      The provisions of this Section 2.15 are made for the
benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns,
and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of the
Persons composing Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without
requirement on the part of any such Agent, Lender, successor or assign first to
marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights
against any of the other Persons composing Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies
available to it or them against any of the other Persons composing Borrowers or
to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the
Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this
Section 2.15 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have
been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or
any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned by any Agent or Lender upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Persons composing
Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.15 will forthwith be
reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

                  (j)      Any claim which any Borrower may have against any
other Borrower with respect to any payments to any Agent or Lender hereunder or
under any other Loan Documents, and any claim which any Borrower may have
against any other Borrower or Subsidiary with respect to any intercompany
obligations, notes, instruments, agreements or other similar indebtedness, are
hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without
limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or
thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the
event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization
or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any
Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such
Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of
any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to
any other Borrower therefor.

                  (k)      After the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Default or Event of Default, each of the Persons composing Borrowers hereby
agrees that, (i) the payment of any amounts due with respect to the
indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated
to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations, (ii) it will not
enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other
Persons composing Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to
the Agent or the Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any
collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have
been paid in full in cash, and (iii) such Borrower will not demand, sue for or
otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to
such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or
receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be
collected,

                                      52
<PAGE>

enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Agent, and the Agent
shall apply such amounts to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(b).

foregoing shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent;

                  (d)      by the applicable Required Refinance Date, Borrowers

         3.3      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT. The
obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to make all Advances (or
to extend any other credit hereunder) shall be subject to the following
conditions precedent:

                  (a)      the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all
material respects on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though
made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and

earlier date);

                  (b)      no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either

                  (c)      no injunction, writ, restraining order, or other

                  (f)      the Warehouse Facility shall be drawn to within
$5,000,000 of the maximum availability thereunder, given the practical
limitations of, and potential disruptions in the commercial paper market; such

prior to funding such Advance hereunder, provided that this clause (f) shall
not apply solely in connection with the issuance of a Letter of Credit
hereunder.

         3.4      TERM. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
execution and delivery hereof by Borrowers, Agent, Funds Management Bank, and
the Lenders and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on
January 21, 2007 (the "Maturity Date"). The foregoing notwithstanding, the
Lender Group, upon the election of the Required Lenders, shall have the right
to terminate its obligations under this Agreement immediately and without
notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

         3.5      EFFECT OF TERMINATION. On the date of termination of this
Agreement, all Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of
Borrowers with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit and including all
Bank Product Obligations) immediately shall become due and payable without
notice or demand (including (a) either (i) providing cash collateral to be held
by Agent for the benefit of those Lenders with a Commitment in an amount equal
to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original
Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender, and (b) subject to
Section 16.20(e) hereof, providing cash collateral to be held by Agent for the
benefit of Wells Fargo or its Affiliates and Funds Management Bank with respect
to the then extant Bank Product Obligations). No termination of this Agreement,
however, shall relieve or discharge Borrowers of their duties, Obligations, or
covenants hereunder and the Agent's Liens in the Collateral shall remain in
effect until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and the
Lender Group's obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been
terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations
have been fully and finally discharged and the Lender Group's obligations to
provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated
irrevocably, Agent will, at Borrowers' sole expense, execute and deliver any
UCC termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of
trademarks, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or
release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably
necessary to release, as of record, the Agent's Liens and all notices of
security interests and liens previously filed by Agent with respect to the
Obligations.

         3.6      EARLY TERMINATION BY BORROWERS. Borrowers have the option, at
any time upon 90 days prior written notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent,
to terminate this Agreement by paying to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender
Group, in cash, the Obligations (including (a) either (i) providing cash
collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of those Lenders with a
Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit
Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the
Issuing Lender), and (b) subject to Section 16.20(e) hereof, providing cash
collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of Wells Fargo or its Affiliates
and Funds Management Bank with respect to the then extant Bank Product

                                      58
<PAGE>

Obligations), in full, together with the Applicable Prepayment Premium (to be
allocated based upon letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders).
If Administrative Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, then the Commitments shall terminate and Borrowers
shall be obligated to repay the Obligations (including (a) either (i) providing
cash collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of those Lenders with a
Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit
Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the
Issuing Lender, and (b) subject to Section 16.20(e) hereof, providing cash
collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of Wells Fargo or its Affiliates
with respect to the then extant Bank Product Obligations), in full, together
with the Applicable Prepayment Premium, on the date set forth as the date of
termination of this Agreement in such notice, provided, however, that, (x) if
no Additional Commitment has been issued hereunder within 60 days of the
Closing Date pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and no Event of
Default has occurred hereunder within such 60 day period, and (y) Borrower has
provided Agent with written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement on
a termination date that is prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date,
and no Event of Default exists at the time such notice is given, then, no
Applicable Prepayment Penalty shall be due from Borrowers if Borrowers
terminate this Agreement on a termination date that is prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement and repayment of the Obligations at any time prior to the Maturity
Date, for any other reason, including (a) termination upon the election of the
Required Lenders to terminate after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (b)
foreclosure and sale of Collateral, (c) sale of the Collateral in any
Insolvency Proceeding, or (d) restructure, reorganization or compromise of the
Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization, or any other plan
of compromise, restructure, or arrangement in any Insolvency Proceeding, then,
in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the
actual amount of damages to the Lender Group or profits lost by the Lender
Group as a result of such early termination, and by mutual agreement of the
parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or
damages of the Lender Group, Borrowers shall pay the Applicable Prepayment
Premium to Agent (to be allocated based upon letter agreements between Agent
and individual Lenders), measured as of the date of such termination; provided,
however, if at the time of such termination by the Required Lenders, no Default
exists under Section 7.20, and no Event of Default under Sections 8.1, 8.3,
8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.10 or 8.11 shall have occurred, the Applicable Prepayment
Premium otherwise payable hereunder shall be reduced by 50%.

4.       CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

         4.1      GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Each Borrower hereby grants to
Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and for the benefit of the Funds
Management Bank solely to secure Bank Product Obligations owed to the Funds
Management Bank, a continuing security interest in all of its right, title, and
interest in all currently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Personal
Property Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all of the
Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents
and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrowers of each of their
covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. The Agent's Liens in and to the
Personal Property Collateral shall attach to all Personal Property Collateral
without further act on the part of Agent, any other member of the Lender Group,
Funds Management Bank, or Borrowers.

         4.2      NEGOTIABLE COLLATERAL. In the event that any Collateral is
evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral, certificated securities or
other instruments and if and to the extent that perfection or priority of
Agent's security interest is dependent on or enhanced by possession, the
applicable Borrower, immediately upon the request of Agent, shall endorse and
deliver physical possession of such Negotiable Collateral, certificated
securities or other instruments to Agent; provided, that endorsement and
delivery shall not be required in connection with an Installment Sales
Contract.

         4.3      COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS, GENERAL INTANGIBLES, AND NEGOTIABLE
COLLATERAL. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, Agent or Agent's designee may (a) notify Account Debtors that
are Dealers that the Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles and any
other payment intangibles have been assigned to Agent or that Agent has a
security interest therein, or (b) collect the Accounts, chattel paper, or
General Intangibles or other payment intangibles directly and charge the
collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. Each Borrower agrees that it
will hold in trust for the Lender Group and Funds Management Bank, as the
Lender Group's trustee, any Collections that it receives and immediately will
deliver said Collections to Agent or a Cash Management Bank in their original
form as received by the applicable Borrower.

         4.4      DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED; AUTHORIZATION
TO FILE UCC FINANCING STATEMENTS. Each Borrower authorizes Agent to file,
transmit, or communicate, as applicable, UCC financing statements, in-lieu
financing statements, continuation statements and amendments in order to
perfect the Agent's Liens on the Collateral without such Borrower's signature
to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at
any time upon the request of Agent, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to
Agent, any and all financing statements, original financing statements in lieu
of continuation statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges,
assignments, endorsements of certificates of title, and all other documents
(the "Additional Documents") upon which any Borrower's signature may be
required and that Agent may request in its Permitted Discretion, in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent, to perfect and continue perfected or better
perfect the Agent's Liens in the Collateral (whether now owned or hereafter
arising or acquired), to create and perfect Liens in favor of Agent in any Real
Property acquired after the Closing Date, and in order to fully consummate all
of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower authorizes Agent
to execute any such

                                      60
<PAGE>

Additional Documents in the applicable Borrower's name and authorize Agent to
file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. In
addition, on such periodic basis as Agent shall require, Borrowers shall (a)
provide Agent with a report of all new patentable, copyrightable, or
trademarkable materials acquired or generated by Borrowers during the prior
period, (b) cause all patents, copyrights, and trademarks acquired or generated
by Borrowers that are not already the subject of a registration with the
appropriate filing office (or an application therefor diligently prosecuted) to
be registered with such appropriate filing office in a manner sufficient to
impart constructive notice of Borrowers' ownership thereof, and (c) cause to be
prepared, executed, and delivered to Agent supplemental schedules to the
applicable Loan Documents to identify such patents, copyrights, and trademarks
as being subject to the security interests created thereunder. In addition,
Borrowers agree that, upon acquiring any interest in a commercial tort claim,
such Borrower shall, in writing, describe the details of such claim and assign
an interest thereto to Agent, and upon acquiring any chattel paper after the
date hereof (electronic, tangible or otherwise), such Borrower shall assign to
Agent a security interest in such chattel paper, or if applicable, deliver such
chattel paper to Agent as Collateral hereunder.

         4.5      POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably makes,
constitutes, and appoints Agent (and any of Agent's officers, employees, or
agents designated by Agent) as such Borrower's true and lawful attorney, with
power to (a) if such Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and
deliver any of the documents described in Section 4.4, sign the name of such
Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.4, (b) at any time that
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, sign such Borrower's name
on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Collateral, drafts against
Account Debtors, or notices to Account Debtors, (c) send requests for
verification of Accounts, (d) endorse such Borrower's name on any Collection
item that may come into the Lender Group's possession, (e) at any time that an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make, settle, and adjust all
claims under such Borrower's policies of insurance and make all determinations
and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, and (f) at any time
that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, settle and adjust
disputes and claims respecting the Accounts, chattel paper, or General
Intangibles directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and upon terms that
Agent determines to be reasonable, and Agent may cause to be executed and
delivered any documents and releases that Agent determines to be necessary. The
appointment of Agent as each Borrower's attorney, and each and every one of its
rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of
the Obligations have been fully and finally repaid and performed and the Lender
Group's obligations to extend credit hereunder are terminated.

         4.6      RIGHT TO INSPECT. Agent and each Lender (through any of their
respective officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, from time to
time hereafter to inspect the Books and to check, test, and appraise the
Collateral in order to verify Borrowers' financial condition or the amount,
quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral,
provided, any Lender may accompany Agent or its representatives during any
examination or audit, with the costs thereof reimbursed to such Lender on the
same basis as Agent. Borrowers acknowledge that Agent shall have the right to
(a) conduct updated Inventory appraisals not less than twice in each year;
provided, if at any time, the outstanding Advances hereunder (without giving
effect to any Letters of Credit) exceed $5,000,000 for more than 5 consecutive
Business Days, Agent has the right to request an Inventory appraisal if the
last such Inventory appraisal was conducted

                                      61
<PAGE>

more than 90 days prior to such date, (b) engage Douglas Guardian, or any other
acceptable firm, to perform test counts of the Inventory for not less than 100%
of Borrowers' inventory locations during a 12 month period, with at least 5% of
Borrowers' "sales centers" tested each month, (c) require appraisals or
evaluations as deemed necessary by Agent, and (d) require audits not less than
once every 120 days, in each case at Borrowers' expense.

         4.7      CONTROL AGREEMENTS. Each Borrower agrees that it will not
transfer assets out of any Securities Accounts other than as permitted under
Section 7.19 and, if to another securities intermediary, unless each of the
applicable Borrower, Agent, and the substitute securities intermediary have
entered into a Control Agreement. No arrangement contemplated hereby or by any
Control Agreement in respect of any Securities Accounts or other Investment
Property shall be modified by Borrowers without the prior written consent of
Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of
Default, Agent may notify any securities intermediary to liquidate the
applicable Securities Account or any related Investment Property maintained or
held thereby and remit the proceeds thereof to the Agent's Account.

5.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender Group

each Account that is identified by Borrower as an Eligible Account in a
borrowing base report submitted to Agent, such Account is not excluded as
ineligible by virtue of one or more of the excluding criteria set forth in the

capital expenditure covenants based on Projections delivered by Borrowers in
form and substance satisfactory to Agent. Such covenants shall be based on

declared due and payable, all or any portion of the Obligations (whether of
principal, interest (including any interest which, but for the provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts), fees and charges due
the Lender Group, reimbursement of Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts
constituting Obligations, but not including any Bank Product Obligations);
provided, however, that in the case of Overadvances that are caused by the

event shall not cause an Event of Default if, within 3 Business Days of
incurring such Overadvance, Borrowers repay or otherwise eliminate such
Overadvance;

the Insolvency Proceeding against it, (b) the petition commencing the

         8.7      If a notice of Lien, levy, or assessment in excess of
$2,000,000 (individually or in the aggregate for all such Liens, levies or
assessments) is filed of record with respect to any Borrower's or any of its
Subsidiaries' assets by the United States, or any department, agency, or
instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county, municipal, or governmental
agency, and such Lien, levy or assessment is not the subject of a Permitted
Protest, or if any taxes or debts owing at any time hereafter to any one or
more of such entities in an aggregate amount in excess of $2,000,000 becomes a
Lien, that is not the subject of a Permitted Protest, whether choate or
otherwise, upon any Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' assets and the same
is not paid on the payment date thereof;

         8.8      If a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien or encumbrance

excess of $10,000,000 (other than the Obligations), or a default that results
in termination of any agreement material to the business of any Borrower or
Subsidiary (unless such Borrower or Subsidiary has acceptable alternative
agreements available to it), and, in either case, such default (a) occurs at
the final maturity of the obligations thereunder, or (b) results in a right by
the other party thereto, irrespective of whether exercised, to accelerate the
maturity of the applicable Borrower's or its Subsidiaries' obligations
thereunder, to terminate such agreement, or to refuse to renew such agreement
pursuant to an automatic renewal right therein;

         8.10     With respect to the Warehouse Facility and Servicer Advance
Facility, (a) any such facility is terminated (whether voluntarily,
involuntarily, or at the scheduled maturity thereof), or maturity date thereof
accelerated or amended to an earlier date; provided, however, that if such
facilities are terminated at the scheduled maturity thereof, no Borrower shall
be in Default hereunder if Borrowers shall have obtained another financing
facility to replace such Warehouse Facility or Servicer Advance Facility by the
applicable Required Refinance Date, in each case subject to terms and
conditions acceptable to Agent and the Lenders, (b) there is a material
modification or supplement to any Warehouse Facility Document or Servicer
Advance Document that Agent has not otherwise consented to, the result of which
is to materially increase the obligations of any Borrower thereunder, (c) any
termination event, amortization event, early amortization event or similar
event shall occur under such facility resulting in the acceleration of the
obligations owed pursuant to such facility, or (d) with respect to the

amortization event or similar event shall occur under a Securitized Transaction

         8.12     If any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries makes any payment
on account of Indebtedness that has been contractually subordinated in right of
payment to the payment of the Obligations, except to the extent such payment is
permitted by the terms of the subordination provisions applicable to such
Indebtedness;

         8.13     If any misstatement or misrepresentation exists now or
hereafter in any warranty, representation, statement, or Record made to the
Lender Group by any Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or any officer, employee,
agent, or director of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

<PAGE>

         8.14     If this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than any
Bank Product Agreements) that purports to create a Lien, shall, for any reason,
fail or cease to create a valid and perfected and, except to the extent
permitted by the terms hereof or thereof, first priority Lien on or security
interest in the Collateral covered hereby or thereby;

         8.15     Any provision of any Loan Document (other than any Bank

void by a court of competent jurisdiction, or the validity or enforceability
thereof shall be contested by any Borrower, or a proceeding shall be commenced
by any Borrower, or by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any
Borrower, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or
any Borrower shall deny that any Borrower has any liability or obligation
purported to be created under any Loan Document (other than any Bank Product
Agreements);

9.       THE LENDER GROUP'S AND FUNDS MANAGEMENT BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

         9.1      RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence, and during the
continuation, of an Event of Default, (x) the Required Lenders (at their
election but without notice of their election and without demand) may authorize
and instruct Agent to do any one or more of the following on behalf of the
Lender Group (and Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders,
shall do the same on behalf of the Lender Group), all of which are authorized
by Borrowers, and (y) at any time after the payment in full in cash of all
Obligations other than the Bank Product Obligations and the termination of the
Commitments, Funds Management Bank may authorize and instruct Agent to do any
one or more of the following on behalf of Funds Management Bank and Wells Fargo
and its Affiliates, all of which are authorized by Borrowers:

                  (a)      Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due
and payable;

                  (b)      Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for
the benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents,
or under any other agreement between Borrowers and the Lender Group;

                  (c)      Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan
Documents (other than any Bank Product Agreements unless acting pursuant to
Section 9.1(y)) as to any future liability or obligation of the Lender Group,
but without affecting any of the Agent's Liens in the Collateral and without
affecting the Obligations;

                                      84
<PAGE>

                  (d)      Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with
Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Agent considers advisable, and
in such cases, Agent will credit the Loan Account with only the net amounts
received by Agent in payment of such disputed Accounts after deducting all
Lender Group Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith;

                  (e)      Cause Borrowers to hold all returned Inventory in
trust for Agent, segregate all returned Inventory from all other assets of
Borrowers or in Borrowers' possession and conspicuously label said returned
Inventory as the property of Agent;

                  (f)      Without notice to or demand upon any Borrower, make
such payments and do such acts as Agent considers necessary or reasonable to
protect its security interests in the Collateral. Each Borrower agrees to
assemble the Personal Property Collateral if Agent so requires, and to make the
Personal Property Collateral available to Agent at a place that Agent may
designate which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Each Borrower
authorizes Agent to enter the premises where the Personal Property Collateral
is located, to take and maintain possession of the Personal Property
Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any
Lien that in Agent's determination appears to conflict with the Agent's Liens
and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith and to charge
Borrowers' Loan Account therefor. With respect to any of Borrowers' owned or
leased premises, each Borrower hereby grants Agent a license to enter into
possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to
exercise any of the Lender Group's or Funds Management Bank's rights or
remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

                  (g)      Without notice to any Borrower (such notice being
expressly waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral in
satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off and
apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower
held by the Lender Group (including any amounts received in the Cash Management
Accounts), or (ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the
account of any Borrower held by the Lender Group; provided, notice of such set
off shall be provided to such Borrower thereafter;

                  (h)      Hold, as cash collateral, any and all balances and
deposits of any Borrower held by the Lender Group, and any amounts received in
the Cash Management Accounts (subject to the terms of the Depository Account
Agreement with respect to the Foothill Account), to secure the full and final
repayment of all of the Obligations;

                  (i)      Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain,
repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided
for herein) the Personal Property Collateral. Each Borrower hereby grants to
Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and Funds Management Bank, a license
or other right to use, without charge, such Borrower's labels, patents,
copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and
advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the
Personal Property Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for
sale, and selling any Personal Property Collateral and such Borrower's rights
under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of
the Lender Group and Funds Management Bank;

<PAGE>

                  (j)      Sell the Personal Property Collateral at either a
public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or
transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places
(including Borrowers' premises) as Agent determines is commercially reasonable.
It is not necessary that the Personal Property Collateral be present at any
such sale;

                  (k)      Agent shall give notice of the disposition of the
Personal Property Collateral as follows:

                           (i)      Agent shall give Administrative Borrower
                  (for the benefit of the applicable Borrower) a notice in
                  writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale
                  is a private sale or some other disposition other than a
                  public sale is to be made of the Personal Property
                  Collateral, the time on or after which the private sale or
                  other disposition is to be made; and

                           (ii)     The notice shall be personally delivered or
                  mailed, postage prepaid, to Administrative Borrower as
                  provided in Section 12, at least 10 days before the earliest
                  time of disposition set forth in the notice; no notice needs
                  to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the
                  Personal Property Collateral that is perishable or threatens
                  to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily
                  sold on a recognized market;

                  (l)      Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group may credit bid
and purchase at any public sale;

                  (m)      Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver or
keeper to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral or to operate
same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of
such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing;

                  (n)      The Lender Group shall have all other rights and
remedies available to it at law or in equity pursuant to any other Loan
Documents; and

                  (o)      Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the
Personal Property Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by
Borrowers. Any excess will be returned, without interest and subject to the
rights of third Persons, by Agent to Administrative Borrower (for the benefit
of the applicable Borrower).

         9.2      REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of the Lender
Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements
shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies
not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No
exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an
election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be
deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a
waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

10.      TAXES AND EXPENSES.

                                      86
<PAGE>

         If any Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments,
insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or
other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails to make
any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as
required under the terms of this Agreement, then, Agent, in its sole discretion
and without prior notice to any Borrower, may do any or all of the following:
(a) make payment of the same or any part thereof, (b) set up such reserves in
Borrowers' Loan Account as Agent deems necessary to protect the Lender Group
from the exposure created by such failure, or (c) in the case of the failure to
comply with Section 6.8 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance policies of the
type described in Section 6.8 and take any action with respect to such policies
as Agent deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Lender
Group Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by the
Lender Group to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender
Group of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Agent need not inquire as
to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt
of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive
evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

11.      WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

         11.1     DEMAND; PROTEST; ETC. Each Borrower waives demand, protest,
notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and
nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension,
or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time
held by the Lender Group or Funds Management Bank on which any such Borrower
may in any way be liable. Each Borrower waives any right it may have to require
Agent to pursue any third-Person for any of the Obligations.

         11.2     THE LENDER GROUP'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. Each Borrower
hereby agrees that: (a) so long as the Lender Group complies with its
obligations, if any, under the Code, Agent shall not in any way or manner be
liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss
or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause,
(iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any
carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all
risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by
Borrowers.

         11.3     INDEMNIFICATION. Each Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend,
and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons with respect to
each Lender, Funds Management Bank (together with its Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees and agents), each Participant, and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact (each,
an "Indemnified Person") harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from
and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations,
proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements
and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and
when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any
time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in
connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance, or administration of this Agreement, any of the other
Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (b)
with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit
provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party
thereto),

                                      87
<PAGE>

or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all
the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"). The foregoing to
the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers shall have no obligation to any
Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified
Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Person. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to
any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to
which Borrowers were required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving
such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be
indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH
RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART CAUSED BY OR ARISE
OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER
PERSON.

12.      NOTICES.

         Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by
Borrowers, Agent and Funds Management Bank to the other relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and (except for
financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by
first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by

13.      CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

         (a)      THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS

OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT), THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT
HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO WITH

14.      ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.

         14.1     ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

                  (a)      Any Lender may, with the written consent of Agent
(provided that no written consent of Agent shall be required in connection with
any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Eligible Transferee), assign
and delegate to one or more assignees (each an "Assignee") all, or any part of
all, of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations
of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000; provided, however, that Borrowers and Agent may continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so
assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together
with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to
the Assignee, have been given to Administrative Borrower and Agent by such
Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to
Administrative Borrower and Agent an executed Assignment and Acceptance in form
and

                                      90
<PAGE>

substance satisfactory to Agent, and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has
paid to Agent for Agent's separate account a processing fee in the amount of
$5,000. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the consent
of Agent shall not be required (and payment of any fees shall not be required)
if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale,
transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the
business or loan portfolio of such Lender.

                  (b)      From and after the date that Agent notifies the
assignor Lender (with a copy to Administrative Borrower) that it has received
an executed Assignment and Acceptance and, payment of the above-referenced
processing fee, (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, shall have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish
its rights (except with respect to Section 11.3 hereof) and be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall
affect a novation between Borrowers and the Assignee.

                  (c)      By executing and delivering an Assignment and
Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm
to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other
than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished
pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty
and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
Borrowers or the performance or observance by Borrowers of any of their
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant
hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with 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 Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, 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, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such
actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to
Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of
the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be
performed by it as a Lender.

                  (d)      Immediately upon each Assignee's making its
processing fee payment under the Assignment and Acceptance and receipt and
acknowledgment by Agent of such fully executed Assignment and Acceptance, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent,
necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting

                                      91
<PAGE>

adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to
each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

                  (e)      Any Lender may at any time, with the written consent
of Agent, sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or
other Persons not Affiliates of such Lender (a "Participant") participating
interests in the Obligations of such Lender, the Commitment of such Lender, and
the other rights and interests of such Lender (the "Originating Lender")
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (provided that no written consent
of Agent shall be required in connection with any sale of any such
participating interests by a Lender to an Eligible Transferee); provided,
however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a "Lender" for all
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant
receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and
the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not
constitute a "Lender" hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the
Originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance
of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the
Originating Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating
interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to,
or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with
respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the
final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is
participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations
hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or a
material portion of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent
expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the
Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone
the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such
Participant through such Lender, or (E) change the amount or due dates of
scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums; and (v) all amounts
payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not
sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become
due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant
shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating
interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the
amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender
under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative
through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no
Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrowers, the
Collections, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No
Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of
decisions by the Lenders among themselves. The provisions of this Section
14.1(e) are solely for the benefit of Lender Group, and none of the Borrowers
shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

                  (f)      In connection with any such assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation, a Lender may disclose
all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to
Borrowers or Borrowers' business.

                                      92
<PAGE>
                  (g)      Any other provision in this Agreement
notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or
pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement
(i) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the
Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR ss.203.14, and such
Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner
permitted under applicable law, or (ii) in favor of any other Person, provided
that no such pledge or security interest shall release Lender from its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or secured party as a party
to this Agreement.

         14.2     SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit
of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto;
provided, however, that Borrowers may not assign this Agreement or any rights or
duties hereunder without the Lenders' prior written consent and any prohibited
assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the
Lenders shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder
and thereunder pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof and, except as expressly required
pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, no consent or approval by any Borrower is
required in connection with any such assignment.

         14.3     ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS. After the Closing Date and provided no
Default or Events of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time,
Additional Commitments may be issued to Lenders or New Lenders in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $10,000,000. Persons not then Lenders may be included as
New Lenders having Additional Commitments with the written approval of the
Agent, in its sole discretion. Prior to the effectiveness of any Additional
Commitments, Administrative Borrower shall pay to Agent, for its own account or
the account of the New Lender, as may be determined by Agent, such arrangement
and upfront fees as may be set forth in a Fee Letter in connection with the
issuance of the Additional Commitment. Each Lender or New Lender issuing an
Additional Commitment shall execute and deliver to Agent a Lender Assumption
Agreement prior to the effectiveness of such Additional Commitment. Funds
advanced under any Additional Commitments shall for all purposes constitute
Advances and be Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.

15.      AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

         15.1     AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Subject to the provisions of Section
16.20, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document (other than Bank Product Agreements which may be amended between
Borrowers and Funds Management Bank), and no consent with respect to any
departure by Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request
of the Required Lenders) and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all
Borrowers) and then any 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 waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by all of the Lenders affected thereby and Administrative Borrower (on
behalf of all Borrowers) and acknowledged by Agent, do any of the following:

                  (a)      increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender,

                                       93
<PAGE>

                  (b)      postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or
any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other
amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document,

                  (c)      reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on,
any loan or other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other

                  (d)      change the percentage of the Commitments that is

                  (e)      amend this Section or any provision of the Agreement

                  (f)      release Collateral other than as permitted by Section
16.12,

                  (g)      change the definition of "Required Lenders",

                  (h)      contractually subordinate any of the Agent's Liens,

                  (i)      release any Borrower from any obligation for the
payment of money,

                  (j)      change the definition of Borrowing Base, the
definitions of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory, Maximum Revolver Amount,
Additional Commitment, or change Section 2.1(b), or

                  (k)      amend any of the provisions of Section 16.

and, provided further, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, affect
the rights or duties of Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, as applicable,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing notwithstanding,
any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or
with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that
relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that
does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrowers, shall not require
consent by or the agreement of Borrowers.

         15.2     REPLACEMENT OF HOLDOUT LENDER. If any action to be taken by
the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent,
authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and a Lender ("Holdout Lender")
fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then Agent, upon at
least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable written notice to the Holdout Lender,
may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders
(each, a "Replacement Lender"), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to
refuse to be replaced hereunder, provided, each Lender that is a Holdout Lender
is so replaced. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an
effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15
Business Days after the date such notice is given.

                                       94
<PAGE>
                  Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout
Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share
of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of
the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind
whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver
any such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement prior to the effective date of such
replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered
such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The replacement of any Holdout Lender
shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 14.1. Until such time as
the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the
Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain
obligated to make the Holdout Lender's Pro Rata Share of Advances and to
purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro
Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit.

         15.3     NO WAIVERS; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure by Agent or any
Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or, any
other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same,
will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be
effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically
stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or
diminish Agent's and each Lender's rights thereafter to require strict
performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement. Agent's and each
Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any
Lender may have.

16.      AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP; THE FUNDS MANAGEMENT BANK.

         16.1     APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF AGENT.

                  (a)      AGENT. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints
Foothill as its representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and
to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to
Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Funds Management Bank hereby
designates and appoints Foothill as its representative for purposes of Sections
2.4(b), 4, and 9, of this Agreement, and irrevocably (subject to Section 16.9)
authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of such
sections. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in
this Section 16. The provisions of this Section 16 are solely for the benefit of
Agent, the Lenders, and Funds Management Bank, and Borrowers shall have no
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein,
except to the extent expressly provided in Section 16.20. Any provision to the
contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document
notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Funds Management Bank, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist
against Agent; it being expressly understood and agreed that the use of the word
"Agent" is for convenience only, that Foothill is merely the representative of
the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as
expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its
sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any
discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent
expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or
of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to
Agent, Lenders and Funds Management Bank agree that Agent shall have the right
to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect:
(a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and
records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the
Collections, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or
similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents,
instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect
to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders as
provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute
the Collections as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such
bank accounts and cash management accounts as Agent deems necessary and
appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes
with respect to the Collateral and the Collections, (f) perform, exercise, and
enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect
to Borrowers, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections, or otherwise
related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay
such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the
performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan
Documents.

                                       96
<PAGE>

         16.2     DELEGATION OF DUTIES. Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees
or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as
long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         16.3     LIABILITY OF AGENT. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall
(i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or Funds
Management Bank for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by
any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer or
director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or
in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure
of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any
obligation to any Lender or Funds Management Bank to ascertain or to inquire as
to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the
Books or properties of Borrowers or the books or records or properties of any of
Borrowers' Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

         16.4     RELIANCE BY AGENT. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers
or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by
Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive
such advice or concurrence of the Lenders and/or Funds Management Bank as it
deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or
refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first
be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by Lenders and/or Funds Management
Bank against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the
Lenders (and the consent of Funds Management Bank to the extent such consent is
required by Section 16.20) and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders and Funds
Management Bank.

         16.5     NOTICE OF DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT. Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest,
fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders,
except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge,
unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Administrative
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default, and stating

                                       97
<PAGE>
that such notice is a "notice of default." Agent promptly will notify the
Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which
Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event
of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of
such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any
notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 16.4, Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested
by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that
unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

         16.6     CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the
Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no
act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each
Lender and the Funds Management Bank represents to Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and
any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to a Loan Document, and all
applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend
credit to, or otherwise enter into agreements with, Borrowers. Each Lender and
the Funds Management Bank also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as
it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and
any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to a Loan Document. Except
for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be
furnished to the Lenders or Funds Management Bank by Agent, Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or the Funds Management Bank
with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of
Borrowers and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the
possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

         16.7     COSTS AND EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION. Agent may incur and pay
Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or
appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and
obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses, costs of collection by outside collection agencies
and auctioneer fees and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to
maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse
Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the Loan Agreement or otherwise.
Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from
Collections received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs
and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders or any other
Person. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from
Collections received by Agent, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be
obligated to pay to or reimburse Agent for the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata
Share thereof. Whether or not the

                                       98
<PAGE>
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify
upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on
behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so),
according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment
to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities
resulting solely from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct nor
shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in
failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for
such Lender's ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including
attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein,
to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of
Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all
Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

         16.8     AGENT IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Foothill and its Affiliates may
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
lending, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person (other than
the Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents as though Foothill were not Agent
hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members
of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that,
pursuant to such activities, Foothill or its Affiliates may receive information
regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates and any other Person (other than the
Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the
disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that,
in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality
obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain),
Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The
terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Foothill in its individual capacity.

         16.9     SUCCESSOR AGENT. Subject to the last sentence of this Section
16.9, Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days notice to the Lenders. If Agent
resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor
Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective
date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the
Lenders, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to
perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the
Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a
successor Agent from among the Lenders. In any such event, upon the acceptance
of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term
"Agent" shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent's appointment,
powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent's
resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 16 shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as
Agent by the date which is 45 days following a

                                       99
<PAGE>
retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the
duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a
successor Agent as provided for above. Upon termination of the Commitments and
payment in full of all Obligations hereunder other than Bank Product
Obligations, Agent may give 10 days prior written notice of its intent to resign
as Agent hereunder to the Lenders and Funds Management Bank, and the Lenders and
Funds Management Bank agree to appoint FUNB as Agent hereunder and FUNB hereby
agrees to accept such appointment as successor Agent hereunder; provided,
however, that at any time thereafter, FUNB may resign as Agent upon prior notice
only to Administrative Borrower.

         16.10    LENDER IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Any Lender and its respective
Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept
deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person (other than
the Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a
Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender
Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information
regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates and any other Person (other than the
Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the
disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that,
in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality
obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain), such Lender not shall be under any obligation to provide such
information to them. With respect to the Swing Loans and Agent Advances, Swing
Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the sub-agent of the
Agent.

         16.11    WITHHOLDING TAXES.

                  (a)      If any Lender is a "foreign corporation, partnership
or trust" within the meaning of the IRC and such Lender claims exemption from,
or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the IRC,
such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrowers, to deliver to Agent
and Administrative Borrower:

                           (i)      if such Lender claims an exemption from
                  withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception,
                  (a) a statement of the Lender, signed under penalty of
                  perjury, that it is not a (I) a "bank" as described in Section
                  881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder (within the
                  meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a
                  controlled foreign corporation described in Section
                  881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed IRS Form
                  W-8BEN, before the first payment of any interest under this
                  Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent
                  or Administrative Borrower;

                           (ii)     if such Lender claims an exemption from, or
                  a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax
                  treaty, properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN before the first
                  payment of any interest under this Agreement and at any other
                  time reasonably requested by Agent or Administrative Borrower;

                                      100
<PAGE>
                           (iii)    if such Lender claims that interest paid
                  under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding
                  tax because it is effectively connected with a United States
                  trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and
                  executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the first payment of
                  any interest is due under this Agreement and at any other time
                  reasonably requested by Agent or Administrative Borrower;

                           (iv)     such other form or forms as may be required
                  under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a
                  condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States
                  withholding tax.

Such Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Administrative Borrower of any
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction.

                  (b)      If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of,
withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN
and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise
transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender, such
Lender agrees to notify Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer
the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender. To the extent
of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender's IRS Form W-8BEN as no
longer valid.

                  (c)      If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the
applicable withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such
Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into
account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by
subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may
withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or
other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

                  (d)      If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the
United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the
appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such
Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other
reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless for all amounts
paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties
and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts
payable to Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses
(including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under
this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation
or replacement of Agent.

                  (e)      All payments made by Borrowers hereunder or under any
note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other
defense, except as required by applicable law other than for Taxes (as defined
below). All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees,
assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any
jurisdiction (other than the United States) or by any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (other than of the United States) with
respect to such payments (but

                                      101
<PAGE>
excluding, any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision
or taxing authority thereof or therein (i) measured by or based on the net
income or net profits of a Lender, or (ii) to the extent that such tax results
from a change in the circumstances of the Lender, including a change in the
residence, place of organization, or principal place of business of the Lender,
or a change in the branch or lending office of the Lender participating in the
transactions set forth herein) and all interest, penalties or similar
liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as
"Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, each Borrower agrees to pay the
full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so
that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any note,
including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16.11(e) after withholding or
deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount
provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to
increase any such amounts payable to Agent or any Lender (i) that is not
organized under the laws of the United States, if such Person fails to comply
with the other requirements of this Section 16.11, or (ii) if the increase in
such amount payable results from Agent's or such Lender's own willful misconduct
or gross negligence. Borrowers will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible
after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law
certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrowers.

         16.12    COLLATERAL MATTERS.

                  (a)      The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at
its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i)
upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by
Borrowers of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed
of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if
Administrative Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is
permitted under Section 7.4 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and
Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),
(iii) constituting property in which no Borrower owned any interest at the time
the security interest was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv)
constituting property leased to a Borrower under a lease that has expired or is
terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided
above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any
Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of
all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders and, to the
extent required pursuant to Section 16.20(a), Funds Management Bank, or (z)
otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Administrative
Borrower at any time, the Lenders and Funds Management Bank will confirm in
writing Agent's authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items
of Collateral pursuant to this Section 16.12; provided, however, that (1) Agent
shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release
on terms that, in Agent's opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any
obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without
recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any
manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than
those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of)
all interests retained by Borrowers, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of
which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

                  (b)      Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of
the Lenders or the Funds Management Bank to assure that the Collateral exists or
is owned by Borrowers or is

                                      102
<PAGE>
cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent's
Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to
exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care,
disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights,
authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or
any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its
sole discretion given Agent's own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as
one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender or the Funds Management Bank as to any of the
foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.

         16.13    RESTRICTIONS ON ACTIONS; SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

                  (a)      Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without
the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully
entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations,
any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrowers or any Deposit Accounts of
Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders
further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by
Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any
legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce
any security interest in, any of the Collateral the purpose of which is, or
could be, to give such Lender any preference or priority against the other
Lenders with respect to the Collateral. Except in its capacity as a successor
Agent pursuant to Section 16.9, and subject to the exercise of any rights of
Funds Management Bank arising under statutory or common law provisions relating
to banker's liens, rights of recoupment or set-off or similar rights and
remedies as to deposit accounts (other than the Foothill Account except to the
extent permitted by the Depository Account Agreement) with respect to the Bank
Product Obligations owing to Funds Management Bank, Funds Management Bank agrees
that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent and Funds
Management Bank so agrees, take or cause to be taken any action with respect to
the Collateral, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable
proceedings with respect to the Collateral, to foreclose any Lien on, or
otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

                  (b)      If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i)
by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any
payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments
received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or
(ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender's Pro-Rata Share of all such
distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to
Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the
same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account
of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse
or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to
the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably
as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided,
however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing
party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall
be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of
the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but
without interest

                                      103
<PAGE>
except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in
connection with the recovery of the excess payment. Except in its capacity as a
successor Agent pursuant to Section 16.9, or in connection with its exercise of
rights arising under statutory or common law provisions relating to banker's
liens, rights of recoupment or set-off or similar rights and remedies as to
deposit accounts (other than the Foothill Account except to the extent permitted
by the Depository Account Agreement) with respect to the Bank Product
Obligations owing to Funds Management Bank, Funds Management Bank agrees, that
if it shall receive any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to
the Obligations arising hereunder, or relating to, this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, to turn over to Agent such proceeds of Collateral or payments
with respect to the Obligations, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be
required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as
applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the
Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

         16.14    AGENCY FOR PERFECTION. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender
as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose
of perfecting the Agent's Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of
the Code can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender obtain
possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and,
promptly upon Agent's request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or
in accordance with Agent's instructions.

         16.15    PAYMENTS BY AGENT TO THE LENDERS. All payments to be made by
Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of
immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each
party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with
each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion
thereof) represents principal, premium, or interest of the Obligations.

         16.16    CONCERNING THE COLLATERAL AND RELATED LOAN DOCUMENTS. Each
member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral, for the
benefit of the Lender Group and the Funds Management Bank. Funds Management Bank
and each member of the Lender Group agree that any action taken by Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating
to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or
herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto,
shall be binding upon all of the Lenders and the Funds Management Bank.

         16.17    FIELD AUDITS AND EXAMINATION REPORTS; CONFIDENTIALITY;
DISCLAIMERS BY LENDERS; OTHER REPORTS AND INFORMATION. By becoming a party to
this Agreement, each Lender:

                  (a)      is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such
Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or
examination report (each a "Report" and collectively, "Reports") prepared by
Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

                                      104
<PAGE>

                  (b)      expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not
make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii)
shall be liable for any information contained in any Report,

                  (c)      expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports
are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party
performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information
regarding Borrowers and will rely significantly upon the Books, as well as on
representations of Borrowers' personnel,

                  (d)      agrees to keep all Reports and other material,
non-public information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and their
operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a
confidential manner; it being understood and agreed by Borrowers that in any
event such Lender may make disclosures (a) to counsel for and other advisors,
accountants, and auditors to such Lender, (b) reasonably required by any bona
fide potential or actual Assignee or Participant in connection with any
contemplated or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of an interest
herein or any participation interest in such Lender's rights hereunder, (c) of
information that has become public by disclosures made by Persons other than
such Lender, its Affiliates, assignees, transferees, or Participants, or (d) as
required or requested by any court, governmental or administrative agency,
pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, or by any law, statute,
regulation, or court order; provided, however, that, unless prohibited by
applicable law, statute, regulation, or court order, such Lender shall notify
Administrative Borrower of any request by any court, governmental or
administrative agency, or pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process for
disclosure of any such non-public material information concurrent with, or where
practicable, prior to the disclosure thereof, and

                  (e)      without limiting the generality of any other
indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent
and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the
indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or
draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations
that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the
indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase
of, a loan or loans of Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify,
defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless
from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses,
and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and
any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any
third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the
indemnifying Lender.

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of
Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or
document provided by Borrowers to Agent that has not been contemporaneously
provided by Borrowers to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent
shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is
entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional
reports or information from Borrowers, any Lender may, from time to time,
reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender's
notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Administrative
Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such
Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Administrative Borrower, Agent

                                      105
<PAGE>
promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that
Agent renders to Administrative Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account,
Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

         16.18    SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS; NO LIABILITY. Notwithstanding that
certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed
only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of
the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any
credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint)
obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their
respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in
principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective
Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest
in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business,
assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall
be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to
the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender
shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other
Lender. Except as provided in Section 16.7, no member of the Lender Group shall
have any liability for the acts or any other member of the Lender Group or acts
of Funds Management Bank. Funds Management Bank shall have no liability for the
acts of any member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any
Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its
obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its
behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its
behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

         16.19    LEGAL REPRESENTATION OF AGENT. In connection with the
negotiation, drafting, and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, or in connection with future legal representation relating to loan
administration, amendments, modifications, waivers, or enforcement of remedies,
Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP ("Paul Hastings") only has represented and
only shall represent Foothill in its capacity as Agent and as a Lender. Each
other Lender hereby acknowledges that Paul Hastings does not represent it in
connection with any such matters.

         16.20    FUNDS MANAGEMENT BANK.

                  (a)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Funds Management Bank agrees and acknowledges that (i) it has no voting rights
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, no right to consent to any
amendments to, and waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, or receive
notice thereof), except that (x) no amendment, modification or waiver of the
definitions of "Funds Management Bank," "Bank Products," "Bank Product
Obligations," "ACH Transactions," or "Bank Product Agreements," Section 2.4(b),

Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral without the prior written
consent of Funds Management Bank, (ii) it will not terminate its services as a
Cash Management Bank or close any Borrower's account (except at the request of
such Borrower) without at least 60 days prior written notice to

                                      106
<PAGE>
Agent and Administrative Borrower, (iii) Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled
to manage and supervise the loans hereunder in accordance with applicable law
and their respective usual practices, modified from time to time as they each
deem appropriate under the circumstances, without regard to the existence of any
rights that the Funds Management Bank may now or hereafter have in or to any of
the Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
Depository Account Agreement, (iv) neither Agent nor the Lenders shall have any
liability to the Funds Management Bank for, and the Funds Management Bank waives
any claim that the Funds Management Bank may now or hereafter have against Agent
and the Lenders arising out of, and the Funds Management Bank waives any
objection to, or right to object to, (1) any and all actions which Agent and the
other members of the Lender Group may take or omit to take (including, without
limitation, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of
liens or security interests in the Collateral or the Lien therefor, actions with
respect to the occurrence of an Event of Default, actions with respect to the
foreclosure upon, sale, release, or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon,
the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all
or any part of the Obligations from any Account Debtor, guarantor or any other
party), or the collection of the Collateral, or the valuation, use, protection
or release of any of the Collateral in each case except as may be the result of
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent as determined by a final

audits or appraisals or other reports prepared in connection therewith, or
notice of any action taken hereunder, or to obtain the Funds Management Bank's
consent thereto, including (1) any amendment of or any addition of or supplement
to any instrument, document or agreement relating to this Agreement, (2) any
exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of
this Agreement or any instrument, document or agreement relating hereto, (3) the
release, sale, exchange or surrender, in whole or in part, of any part of the
Collateral or any additional collateral to which Agent may become entitled, (4)
any release of any guarantor of or pledgor securing the Obligations or any
security for such pledge or guaranty, or (5) any waiver, consent, release,
indulgence, extension, renewal, modification, delay or other action, inaction or
omission in respect of this Agreement or any instrument, document or agreement
relating thereto or any security therefor or pledge or guaranty hereof.

         (b)      Agent, Lenders and Borrowers acknowledge and agree that it is
a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby that
concurrently with such closing, the Underlying Issuer issue a Letter of Credit
for the benefit of Existing Lender in the initial stated amount of
$38,859,929.39 to support the obligations of Borrowers under the letters of
credit issued by Existing Lender for the account of one or more Borrowers (the
"Existing Letters of Credit"). Borrowers hereby agree to use their best efforts

beneficiaries of the Existing Letters of Credit no later than 60 days after the
Closing Date.

                                      107
<PAGE>

         (c)      Borrowers hereby agree to deliver to Funds Management Bank
concurrently with delivery to Agent, a copy of all items required to be
delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 6.3. Agent hereby agrees to deliver to

         (d)      In the event FUNB becomes Agent hereunder pursuant to Section
16.9, Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to pay FUNB such fees and at
such time as shall be determined by FUNB in its reasonable discretion.

         (e)      Funds Management Bank agrees that this Agreement may be
terminated in connection with a refinancing of all Obligations other than Bank
Product Obligations, and to the extent all Obligations (other than Bank Product
Obligations owed to Funds Management Bank) are paid in full to the satisfaction
of Agent, Issuing Lender, and the Lenders, Funds Management Bank agrees to enter
into any agreements as may be reasonably requested by a lender selected by
Borrowers in connection with such refinancing if such agreements provide Funds
Management Bank with security and rights similar to those provided for
hereunder, and Funds Management Bank authorizes Agent to deliver assignments or

17.      GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         17.1     EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed
effective when executed by Borrowers, Funds Management Bank, Agent, and each
Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.

         17.2     SECTION HEADINGS. Headings and numbers have been set forth
herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context,
everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

         17.3     INTERPRETATION. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or
ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against the Lender Group,
Borrowers, or Funds Management Bank whether under any rule of construction or
otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and
shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the
words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties
hereto.

         17.4     SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Each provision of this Agreement
shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose
of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

                                      108
<PAGE>
         17.5     AMENDMENTS IN WRITING. This Agreement only can be amended by a
writing in accordance with Section 15.1.

         17.6     COUNTERPARTS; TELEFACSIMILE EXECUTION. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate
counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be
an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and
the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of
this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed
counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis
mutandis.

         17.7     REVIVAL AND REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. If the incurrence or
payment of the Obligations by any Borrower or the transfer to the Lender Group
or Funds Management Bank of any property should for any reason subsequently be
declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to
creditors' rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to
fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments
of money or transfers of property (collectively, a "Voidable Transfer"), and if
the Lender Group or Funds Management Bank is required to repay or restore, in
whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the
reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the
amount thereof that the Lender Group or Funds Management Bank is required or
elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and
attorneys fees of the Lender Group or Funds Management Bank related thereto, the
liability of Borrowers automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored
and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

         17.8     INTEGRATION. This Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by
any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

         17.9     PARENT AS AGENT FOR BORROWERS. Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all
Borrowers (the "Administrative Borrower") which appointment shall remain in full
force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice
signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another
Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide
Agent with all notices with respect to Advances and Letters of Credit obtained
for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under
this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems
appropriate on its behalf to obtain Advances and Letters of Credit and to
exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan
Account and Collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set
forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to
utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and
economical manner and at their request, and that Lender Group shall not

                                      109
<PAGE>
incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to
derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account
and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each
Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated
group. To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each
Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the
Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and
all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the
Lender Group by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or
incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of
Borrowers as herein provided, (b) the Lender Group's relying on any instructions
of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the Lender
Group hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that Borrowers will
have no liability to the relevant Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person
under this Section 17.9 with respect to any liability that has been finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person or
Lender-Related Person, as the case may be.

         17.10    CONFLICTS. Except with respect to the Depository Account
Agreement or as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement,
if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision in
any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement
shall govern and control.
