Convertible Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in
that amount, if such Loan may be made, or each such Bank shall be deemed to have
funded its participation as provided below at Section 2.5.3.4.  If any Bank so
notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Agent the
amount of such Bank's Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m.,
New York time, on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Bank's
obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such
Bank makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
Effective Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii)
at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

Convertible Revolving Credit Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day
following the Drawing Date. The Agent will promptly give notice of the
occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Agent to give any such notice
on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect such
payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from its obligation under this
Section 2.5.3.

2.5.3.4   With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into
Convertible Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower under the Base Rate Option in
whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.5.3.3, for any reason, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Agent a Letter of Credit
Borrowing in the amount of such drawing.  Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall
be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at
the rate per annum applicable to the Convertible Revolving Credit Loans under
the Base Rate Option.  Each Bank's payment to the Agent pursuant to Section
2.5.3.3 shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such
Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a Participation Advance from
such Bank in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section
2.5.3.

2.5.4     Repayment of Participation Advances.
          -----------------------------------

2.5.4.1   Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for its account of
immediately available funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any
payment made by the Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any
Bank has made a Participation Advance to the Agent, or (ii) in payment of
interest on such a payment made by the Agent under such a Letter of Credit, the
Agent will pay to each Bank, in the same funds as those received by the Agent,
the amount of such Bank's Ratable Share of such funds, except the Agent shall
retain the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Bank that did not
make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent.

2.5.4.2   If the Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or
to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency
Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by any Loan Party to the Agent
pursuant to Section 2.9.4.1 in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter
of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Bank shall, on demand of the Agent,
forthwith return to the Agent the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so
returned by the Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to
the date such amounts are returned by such Bank to the Agent, at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

2.5.5     Documentation.
          -------------

               Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agent's
application for letters of credit and the Agent's written regulations and
customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation
may be different from such Loan Party's own interpretation.  In the event of a
conflict between such application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall
govern.  It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross
negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent shall not be liable for any error,
negligence, or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any
Loan Party's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit, or any
application therefor, or any in modifications, amendments, or supplements
thereto.

2.5.6     Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.
          -----------------------------------------------------

               Each Bank's obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make
the Convertible Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as
contemplated by Section 2.5.3, as a result of a

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower to
reimburse the Agent upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute,
unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Section 2.5.6 under all circumstances (except to the
extent of the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct), including the
following circumstances:

          (i)     any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right
which such Bank may have against the Agent, the Borrower, or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever;

          (ii)    the failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply,
in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with any conditions set forth
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document for the making of a Convertible
Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not
required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing or the obligation of the
Banks to make Participation Advances under Section 2.5.3;

          (iii)   any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit;

          (iv)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, or other right
which any Loan Party or any Bank may have at any time against a beneficiary or
any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such
transferee may be acting), the Agent or any Bank or any other Person or, whether
in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein, or any
unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan
Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter
of Credit was procured);

          (v)     any draft, demand, certificate, or other document presented
under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate
in any respect even if the Agent has been notified thereof;

          (vi)    payment by the Agent under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a demand, draft, or certificate or other document which does not
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

          (vii)   any adverse change in the business, operations, properties,
assets, condition (financial or otherwise), or prospects of any Loan Party or
Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;

          (viii)  any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any
party thereto;

          (ix)    the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with
respect to any Loan Party;

          (x)     the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Default shall
have occurred and be continuing;

          (xi)    the fact that the Convertible Revolving Credit Expiration Date
shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been
terminated; and

          (xii)   any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing.

2.5.7     Indemnity.
          ---------

               In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 9.5, the
Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay, and save harmless the Agent
from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses,
costs, charges, and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses, and
disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the
Agent may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i)
the issuance or payment of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent that any
such claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges, or expenses
are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as
determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the
failure of the Agent to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a
result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or
future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts
or omissions herein called "Governmental Acts").

2.5.8     Liability for Acts and Omissions.
          --------------------------------

               As between any Loan Party and the Agent, such Loan Party assumes
all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by,
the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not
in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be responsible for: (i) the
form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness, or legal effect of any
document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an
issuance of or any documents presented under any such Letter of Credit, even if
it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent, or forged (even if the Agent shall have been notified
thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which
may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such
Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions
required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any
Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such
transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary
of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions,
interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
cable, telegraph, telex, or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v)
errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the
misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds
of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising
from causes beyond the control of the Agent, including any Governmental Acts,
and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of
the Agent's rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall
relieve the Agent from liability for the Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i)
through (viii) of such sentence.

               In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the
specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Agent
under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents
and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith (as
such term is applicable to Letters of Credit pursuant to the applicable Uniform
Commercial Code), shall not put the Agent under any resulting liability to the
Borrower or any Bank.

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

               In the event that the jurisdiction referred to in Section 10.8
adopts revisions to Article 5 of its Uniform Commercial Code which are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.5, the Loan Parties shall
upon the request of Agent agree to a modification of the provisions of this
Section 2.5 that is consistent with the intent hereof and permissible under such
Article 5 as revised.

2.6  Commitment Fees.
     ---------------

     Accruing from the date hereof until the Convertible Revolving Credit
Expiration Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each
Bank, as consideration for such Bank's Convertible Revolving Credit Commitment
hereunder, a nonrefundable commitment fee (each, a "Commitment Fee") equal to
one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum (computed on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily difference
between the amount of (i) such Bank's Convertible Revolving Credit Commitment as
the same may be constituted from time to time and the (ii) the principal amount
of such Bank's Convertible Revolving Credit Loans outstanding from time to time
plus such Bank's Ratable Share of Letters of Credit Outstanding from time to
time.  All Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day
of each December, March, June, and September after the date hereof and on the
Convertible Revolving Credit Expiration Date, or in any event upon acceleration
of the Loans.

2.7  Additional Fees.
     ---------------

     The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for its own account the fees and
costs set forth in the Agent's Letter.  All fees payable hereunder and
thereunder shall be nonrefundable and deemed earned in full when due.

2.8  Use of Proceeds.
     ---------------

     The Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Convertible Revolving Credit
Loans may be used for the general corporate purposes of Borrower and the
Guarantors, including capital expenditures, working capital, acquisitions,
refinancing Borrower's indebtedness existing as of the date hereof,
intercompany loans and distributions to other Loan Parties, Permitted
Investments, and otherwise; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit nor any
proceeds of any Convertible Revolving Credit Loan may be used for any purpose
that contravenes any applicable Law or any provision of any Loan Document.

2.9  Swingline Loans.
     ---------------

2.9.1     Swingline Commitment.
          --------------------

               On the terms and subject to the conditions and relying upon the
representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swingline Bank agrees to
make loans (as described in this Section 2.9.1, "Swingline Loans") to the
Borrower at any time and from time to time, on and after the date hereof to the
earlier of the Convertible Revolving Credit Expiration Date or the termination
of the Convertible Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms
hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, after giving
effect to any Swingline Loan requested by Borrower, that will not result in (i)
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans exceeding
$10,000,000, or (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Convertible Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans plus the Letters of
Credit Outstanding exceeding the aggregate amount of the Convertible

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

Revolving Credit Commitments then existing of the Banks. Each Swingline Loan
shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000. The
Swingline Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time in the same
manner as provided herein for Convertible Revolving Credit Commitments. Within
the foregoing limits and subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set
forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay, and reborrow Swingline Loans
hereunder. The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note of
Borrower in favor of the Swingline Bank substantially in the form of Exhibit
                                                                     -------
1.1(S)(2).
---------

2.9.2     Swingline Loans.
          ---------------

               The Borrower shall notify the Agent by telephone (promptly
confirmed in writing), not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the
date of a proposed Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business
Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify
the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline
Loan. The Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Bank of any notice received
from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.9.2. The Swingline Bank will make
each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower as designated by the Borrower by
telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) by 3:00 p.m. on the date such
Swingline Loan is so requested. The Agent and Swingline Bank may rely on the
authority of any individual making such a telephonic request or giving such
telephonic direction without the necessity of receipt of written confirmation.

2.9.3     Prepayment.
          ----------

               The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving telephonic
notice (promptly confirmed in writing) to the Swingline Bank and to the Agent
before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment at the Agent's
telephone number and address for notices specified on Schedule 1.1(B). Any
                                                      ---------------
prepayment in part of a Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral
multiple of $100,000.  All principal payments, including prepayments, of
Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount
being repaid to but excluding the date of payment.  All outstanding Swingline
Loans shall be due and payable on the Convertible Revolving Credit Expiration
Date.

2.9.4     Interest.
          --------

               Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per
annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days
elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) per
annum, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as
of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate.

2.9.5     Participations.
          --------------

               The Swingline Bank may by written notice given to the Agent not
later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any Business Day require the
Banks to acquire participations in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans
outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans
in which Banks shall participate. The Agent will, promptly upon receipt of such
notice, give notice to each Bank, specifying in such notice such Bank's Ratable
Share of such Swingline Loan or Loans. In consideration and in furtherance of
the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon
receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the account of

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

the Swingline Bank, such Bank's Ratable Share of such Swingline Loan or Loans.
Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations
in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9.5 is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the
occurrence or continuance of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever. Each Bank shall comply with its obligation under this
Section by wire transfer to Agent of immediately available funds not later than
2:00 p.m. New York City time, and the Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so
received to the account of the Swingline Bank. The Agent shall notify the
Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this
Section and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made
to the Agent and not to the Swingline Bank. Any amounts received by the
Swingline Bank from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in
respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Bank of the proceeds
of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent; any
such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to
the Banks that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section and to
the Swingline Bank, as their interests may appear. The purchase of
participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.9.5 shall not
relieve the Borrower (or other party liable for obligations of the Borrower) of
its obligations in respect of the payment thereof.

3.   INTEREST RATES
     --------------

3.1  Interest Rate Options.
     ---------------------

     The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid
principal amount of the Committed Loans (other than with respect to the
Swingline Loans which are addressed in Section 2.9.4) as selected by it from the
Base Rate Option or Convertible Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option set forth
below applicable to the type of Committed Loans, it being understood that,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different
Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to
various of the Committed Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may
convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any
portion of the Committed Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche, provided that
                                                                 --------
there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than six (6) Borrowing
Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Committed Loans.  If at any time the
designated rate applicable to any portion of a Committed Loan made by any Bank
exceeds such Bank's highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Bank's
Committed Loan shall be limited to such Bank's highest lawful rate.

3.1.1     Convertible Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options.
          --------------------------------------------------
               The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following

               (i)  Convertible Revolving Credit Base Rate Option:  A
                    ---------------------------------------------
fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus one and one-quarter
percent (1.25%) per annum, such interest rate to change automatically from time
to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

               (ii) Convertible Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option:  A rate per
                    ---------------------------------------------
on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed) equal
to the Euro-Rate plus three and one-half percent (3.50%) per annum.

3.1.2     Rate Quotations.
          ---------------

               The Borrower may call the Agent at the Principal Office of the
Agent in Chicago on or before the date on which a Committed Loan Request is to
be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is
acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Agent or the Banks
nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the
election is made.

3.2  Committed Loans Interest Periods.
     --------------------------------

     At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Committed
Loan Euro-Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Agent thereof at its
Principal Office in Chicago at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
effective date of such Euro-Rate Option by delivering a Committed Loan Request.
The notice shall specify an interest period (the "Interest Period") during which
such Interest Rate Option shall apply, such Interest Period to be (i)  one Month
if Borrower selects the Committed Loan Euro-Rate Option during the Syndications
Period and (ii) one, two, three, or six Months if Borrower selects the Committed
Loan Euro-Rate Option after the Syndications Period has ended.  Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection
of, renewal of, or conversion to a Committed Loan Euro-Rate Option:

3.2.1     Ending Date and Business Day.
          ----------------------------

               Any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a date which is
not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless
such Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such Interest
Period shall end on the directly preceding Business Day;

3.2.2     Termination Before Expiration Date.
          ----------------------------------

               The Borrower shall not select, convert to or renew an Interest
Period, respectively, for any portion of the Convertible Revolving Credit Loans
that would end after the Convertible Revolving Credit Expiration Date; and

3.2.3     Renewals.
          --------

               In the case of the renewal of a Committed Loan Euro-Rate Option
at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall
be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment
of interest for such day.

3.3  Interest After Default.
     ----------------------
     To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and until such time as such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived:

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

3.3.1     Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.
          ------------------------------------

               The Letter of Credit Fees and the otherwise applicable rate of
interest for each outstanding Loan shall be increased by 2.0% per annum; and

3.3.2     Other Obligations.
          -----------------

               Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable
under the Convertible Revolving Credit Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0%
per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is
paid in full.

3.3.3     Acknowledgment.
          --------------

               The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to
in this Section 3.3 reflects, among other things, that such Loans or other
amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and
that the Banks are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all
such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Agent.

3.4  Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
Available.
---------

3.4.1     Unascertainable.
          ---------------

               If, on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be
determined with respect to Committed Loans, the Agent shall have determined
that:

               (i)   adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
such Euro-Rate, or

               (ii)  a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely
affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to the Euro-Rate,

then the Agent and the Banks shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3.

3.4.2     Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.
          ---------------------------------------------------

               If at any time any Bank shall have determined that:

               (i)   the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a
Euro-Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance
by such Bank in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application
thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such
Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

               (ii)  such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Bank of the establishment or maintenance of any such
Loan, or

               (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the
relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan to which
a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Bank with
respect to such Loan, in the London interbank market,

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

then the Agent and the Banks shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3.

3.4.3     Agent's and Bank's Rights.
          -------------------------

               In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 above, the
Agent shall promptly so notify the Banks and the Borrower thereof, and in the
case of an event specified in Section 3.4.2 above, such Bank shall promptly so
notify the Agent at its Principal Office in Chicago and endorse a certificate to
such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Agent shall
promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Banks and the
Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not
be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Banks,
in the case of such notice given by the Agent, or (B) such Bank, in the case of
such notice given by such Bank, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to, or
renew a Euro-Rate Option shall be suspended until the Agent shall have later
notified the Borrower, or such Bank shall have later notified the Agent, of the
Agent's or such Bank's, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances
giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the
Agent makes a determination under Section 3.4.1 and the Borrower has previously
notified the Agent of its selection of, conversion to, or renewal of a Euro-Rate
Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect and no funding
has been reserved by a Bank therefor, such notification shall be deemed to
provide for the selection of, conversion to, or renewal of the Base Rate Option
otherwise available with respect to such Loans if the Borrower has requested the
Committed Loan Euro-Rate Option. If any Bank notifies the Agent of a
determination under Section 3.4.2, the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower's
indemnification Obligations under Section 4.6.2 , as to any Loan of the Bank to
which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either
convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to
such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 4.4 or 4.5. Absent due
notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall
automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with
respect to such Loan upon such specified date.

3.5  Selection of Interest Rate Options.
     ----------------------------------

     If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period or if borrower fails
to select an interest rate option to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Committed
Loans subject to the Committed Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of the
existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3.2, the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted
such Borrowing Tranche to the Convertible Revolving Credit Base Rate Option
commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

4.   PAYMENTS
     --------

4.1  Payments.
     --------

     All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest,
fees, or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or in connection herewith
shall be payable prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date when due
without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim, or
other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue.
Such payments shall be made to the Agent at its Principal Office in Chicago, or
at such location as Agent shall otherwise direct, for the

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

ratable accounts of the Banks with respect to Loans (other than with respect to
Swingline Loans which, to the extent not participated to the Banks shall be for
the account of the Swingline Bank), in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available
funds, and the Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Banks in
immediately available funds, provided that in the event payments are received by
                             --------
12:00 noon, New York time, by the Agent with respect to the Loans and such
payments are not distributed to the Banks on the same day received by the Agent,
the Agent shall pay the Banks the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to
the amount of such payments for each day held by the Agent and not distributed
to the Banks. The Agent's statement of account, ledger, or other relevant record
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the
amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under
this Agreement.

4.2  Pro Rata Treatment of Banks.
     ---------------------------

     Each borrowing of Convertible Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to
each Bank according to its Ratable Share (irrespective of the amount of
Swingline Loans outstanding), and each selection of, conversion to, or renewal
of any Interest Rate Option applicable to Convertible Revolving Credit Loans and
each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal or interest
on the Convertible Revolving Credit Loans or fees (except for the Agent's Fee,
Fronting Fee, and any other fee addressed in the Agent's Letter) or other
amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Banks with respect to the
Convertible Revolving Credit Loans, shall (except as provided in Section 3.4.3
and in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4, 4.4.2 or 4.6) be made in
proportion to the applicable Convertible Revolving Credit Loans outstanding from
each Bank and, if no such Loans are then outstanding from any Bank, in
proportion to the Ratable Share of each Bank.  Borrowings of and payments on
Swingline Loans shall be governed, inter alia, by the terms of Section 2.9.  For
purposes of determining the available Convertible Revolving Credit Commitments
of the Banks at any time, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to
have utilized the Convertible Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks pro rata
in accordance with such Convertible Revolving Credit Commitments.

4.3  Interest Payment Dates.
     ----------------------

     Interest on Committed Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be
due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each December, March,
June, and September after the date hereof and on the Convertible Revolving
Credit Expiration Date with respect to Convertible Revolving Credit Loans or
upon acceleration of any Loan.  Interest on Committed Loans to which the Euro-
Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest
Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3)
Months, also at the end of each three (3) Month period within such Interest
Period, calculated from the commencement thereof.  Interest on mandatory
prepayments of principal under Section 4.5 and on voluntary prepayments of
principal shall be due on the date such prepayment is due or made.  Interest on
the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and
payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation
becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration,
or otherwise).

4.4  Voluntary Prepayments; Voluntary Reduction or Termination of Commitments.
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.4.1     Right to Prepay.
          ---------------

               The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time
to prepay the Committed Loans or prepay the Committed Loans and reduce or
terminate the Convertible Revolving Credit Commitment, in whole or part, without
premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.4.2 below or in Section
4.6):

          (i)   at any time with respect to any Committed Loan to which the Base
Rate Option applies, and

          (ii)  on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect
to Committed Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies,

          (iii) on the date specified in a notice by any Bank pursuant to
Section 3.4 with respect to any Committed Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option
applies.

          Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Committed
Loans or prepay the Committed Loans and reduce or terminate the Convertible
Revolving Credit Commitment, it shall provide a prepayment or reduction or
termination notice to the Agent at its Principal Office in Chicago by 12:00 noon
at least three (3) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment or reduction or
termination setting forth the following information:

                (x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the
          proposed prepayment or reduction or termination is to be made;

               (y)  a statement indicating the application of the prepayment
          between the various interest rate options applicable to Convertible
          Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans; and

               (z)  the total principal amount of such prepayment or reduction
          or termination, which shall not be less than $1,000,000 and in
          integral multiples of $500,000 (other than with respect to the minimum
          amount of Swingline loan prepayments which are addressed in Section
          2.9.3).

          All prepayment, reduction, and termination notices shall be
irrevocable. The principal amount of the Committed Loans for which a prepayment,
reduction, or termination notice is given, together with interest on such
principal amount, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such
prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. In
the event of a reduction or termination notice, the principal amount of
Committed Loans so reduced or terminated shall not be reborrowed at any time
thereafter and the Commitments of the Banks shall be permanently so reduced or
terminated. Except as provided in Section 3.4.3, if the Borrower prepays a
Committed Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the
Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied first to Committed Loans
to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the Committed Loan
Euro-Rate Option applies. Any prepayment, reduction, or termination hereunder
shall be subject to the Borrower's Obligation to indemnify the Banks under
Section 4.6.2.

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

               Borrower's rights and obligations with respect to prepayments of
the Term Loan shall be the same as set forth herein for Convertible Revolving
Credit Loans (except to the extent necessary to account for structural
differences between the nature of Committed Loans and the Term Loan).

4.4.2     Replacement of a Bank.
          ---------------------

               In the event any Bank (i) gives notice under Section 3.4 or
Section 4.6.1, (ii) does not fund Convertible Revolving Credit Loans because the
making of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Bank, (iii)
does not approve any action as to which consent of the Required Banks is
requested by the Borrower and obtained hereunder, (iv) does not agree to an
extension of the Convertible Revolving Credit Expiration Date requested in
accordance with Section 2.4.1 and, however, the Required Banks do so agree, or
(v) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and
customary supervision), then the Borrower shall have the right at its option,
with the consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to
prepay the Loans of such Bank in whole, together with all interest accrued
thereon, and terminate such Bank's Commitment within no more than thirty (30)
days after an event described in Clause (iv) directly above (but in no event
later than the Convertible Revolving Credit Expiration Date), or within ninety
(90) days after (w) receipt of such Bank's notice under Section 3.4 or 4.6.1,
(x) the date such Bank has failed to fund Convertible Revolving Credit Loans
because the making of such Loans would contravene Law applicable to such Bank,
(y) the date of obtaining the consent which such Bank has not approved, or (z)
the date such Bank became subject to the control of an Official Body, as
applicable; provided that the Borrower shall also pay to such Bank at the time
of such prepayment any amounts required under Section 4.6 and any accrued
interest due on such amount and any other fees and costs payable hereunder; and
provided, further, that the Convertible Revolving Credit Loans and any other
Commitments of such Bank shall be provided by one or more of the remaining Banks
or a replacement bank acceptable to the Agent or, upon payment of every such
Loan and all related interest, fees, costs, and expenses (including those
payable under Section 4.6), the Commitments of such Bank are permanently
terminated; and provided, further, the remaining Banks shall have no obligation
hereunder to increase their Commitments or provide any Loan of such Bank.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may only be replaced subject to the
requirements of Section 9.14 and provided that all Letters of Credit shall have
expired or been terminated or replaced.

4.4.3     Change of Lending Office.
          ------------------------

               Each Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving
rise to increased costs or other special payments under Section 3.4.2 or 4.6.1
with respect to such Bank, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable
efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate
another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such
event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Bank and
its lending office suffer no economic, legal, or regulatory disadvantage, with
the objective of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the
operation of such Sections. Nothing in this Section 4.4.3 shall affect or
postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the
rights of the Agent or any Bank provided in this Agreement.

4.5  Mandatory Prepayments.
     ---------------------

4.5.1     Application Among Interest Rate Options.
          ---------------------------------------

               All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall first
be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the
Committed Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans subject to a
Euro-Rate Option. In accordance with Section 4.6.2, the Borrower shall indemnify
the Banks for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with
respect to any such prepayments applied against Committed Loans subject to a
Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest
Period.

4.5.2     Failure to Convert.
          -------------------

               If any Bank notifies the Agent of a determination under Section
3.4.2 and the Borrower elects not convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option,
then the Borrower shall prepay such Loan.

4.6  Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.
     ------------------------------------------------

4.6.1     Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting From Taxes, Reserves,
          -----------------------------------------------------------------
Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc.
---------------------------------------------

          If, after the date hereof, any new Law, guideline, or interpretation
or any change in any Law, guideline, or interpretation or application thereof by
any Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or
compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
Law) of any central bank or other Official Body:

          (i)   subjects any Bank to any tax or changes the basis of taxation
with respect to this Agreement, the Committed Loans or payments by the Borrower
of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder
(except for taxes on the overall net income of such Bank),

          (ii)  imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any reserve, special
deposit, or similar requirement against credits or commitments to extend credit
extended by, or assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with or for the
account of, or other acquisitions of funds by, any Bank, or

          (iii) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any capital adequacy or
similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or letters of
credit, other credits, or commitments to extend credit extended by, any Bank, or
(B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of any Bank under this Agreement,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the
income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon any
Bank with respect to this Agreement, or the making, maintenance, or funding of
any part of the Committed Loans (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or
similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any
Bank's or its holding company's capital, taking into consideration such Bank's
or holding company's customary policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount which such Bank in its sole discretion deems to be material, such Bank
shall from time to time notify the Borrower and the Agent of the amount
determined in good faith (using any averaging and attribution methods employed
in good faith) by such Bank to be necessary to compensate such Bank for such
increase in cost, reduction of income, additional expense, or reduced rate of
return. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation
utilized
                                      -33-
<PAGE>

as the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the
Borrower to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

4.6.2     Indemnity.
          ---------

               In addition to the compensation required by Section 4.6.1, the
Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against all liabilities, losses, or expenses
(including loss of margin, any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or
employing deposits from third parties, and any loss or expense incurred in
connection with funds acquired by a Bank to fund or maintain Loans subject to a
Euro-Rate Option) which such Bank sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

               (i)   payment, prepayment, conversion, or renewal of any Loan to
which a Euro-Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the
corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is
mandatory, voluntary, or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment
is then due), or

               (ii)  attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later
inconsistent notices, or otherwise) in whole or part any Committed Loan Requests
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies or notice relating to prepayments of Loans
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, or

               (iii) default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of
any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, including any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration
or otherwise) any principal of or interest on the Committed Loans to which a
Euro-Rate Option applies, any fee, or any other amount due hereunder.

               If any Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall
from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by
such Bank (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of
costs and expenses, and averaging or attribution methods as such Bank shall deem
reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Bank for such loss or expense.
Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation determining the
basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the
Borrower to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

               For all purposes of this Agreement, each Bank's and Agent's
determination of amounts payable under, and actions required or authorized by
Section 3.4 or Section 4.6 shall be calculated, at each Bank's and Agent's
option, as though each Bank and Agent funded its Loans under the Euro-Rate
Option through the purchase of deposits of the types and maturities
corresponding to the deposits used as a reference in determining the Euro-Rate
applicable to such Loans, whether in fact that is the case.

4.7  Taxes.
     -----

4.7.1     No Deductions.
          -------------

               All payments made by Borrower hereunder and under each Note shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Bank and all
income and franchise taxes applicable to any Bank of the United States (all such
nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and
liabilities being hereinafter

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

referred to as "Taxes"). If Borrower shall be required by Law to deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 4.7.1) each Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such
deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant tax authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law.

4.7.2     Stamp Taxes.
          -----------

               In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp
or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar
levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or
any Note (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

4.7.3     Indemnification for Taxes Paid by a Bank.
          ----------------------------------------

               Borrower shall indemnify each Bank for the full amount of Taxes
or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.7.3) paid by any
Bank and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted. The Agent shall use its best efforts, but shall
not be penalized for failure, to alert Borrower to the assertion of any such
claim for taxes. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date
a Bank makes written demand therefor.

4.7.4     Certificate.
          -----------

               Within 30 days after the date of any payment of any Taxes by
Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to each Bank, at its address referred to
herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof. If no Taxes are payable in respect of any payment by Borrower, Borrower
shall, if so requested by a Bank, provide a certificate of an officer of
Borrower to that effect.

4.7.5     Survival.
          --------

               Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in
Sections 4.7.1 through 4.7.5 shall survive the payment in full of principal and
interest hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder.

4.8  Judgment Currency.
     -----------------

4.8.1     Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments.
          --------------------------------------------

               If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under a Note in any currency (the
"Original Currency") into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties
hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange
used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures each
Bank could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any
premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final
judgment is given.

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

4.8.2     Indemnity in Certain Events.
          ---------------------------

               The obligation of Borrower in respect of any sum due from
Borrower to any Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other
Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the
extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Bank of any sum
adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Bank may in accordance with
normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other
Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the
sum originally due to such Bank in the Original Currency, Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to
indemnify such Bank against such loss.

4.9  Notes.
     -----

     Upon the request of any Bank, the Convertible Revolving Credit Loans made
by such Bank may be evidenced respectively by a Convertible Revolving Credit
Note in the form of Exhibit 1.1(C).

and each of Borrower's and PTEK's respective Subsidiaries has good and
marketable title to all of the Subsidiary Shares, Partnership Interests and LLC
Interests it purports to own, free and clear in each case of any Lien. All
Subsidiary Shares, Partnership Interests and LLC Interests have been validly
issued, and all Subsidiary Shares are fully paid and nonassessable. Except as
set forth in Schedule 5.1.2, all capital contributions and other consideration
             --------------
required to be made or paid in connection with the issuance of the Partnership
Interests and LLC Interests have been made or paid, as the case may be.  There

                                                              --------------
Schedule 5.1.2 designates which Subsidiaries are Material Subsidiaries and there
--------------
are no Subsidiaries that are Material Subsidiaries that are not designated as
such.

               (b) There is no direct or indirect Material Subsidiary of
Borrower or any other Loan Party which is not a Loan Party hereunder, other than
direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties that are organized under the
Laws of a country or a political subdivision of such country other than the
United States.

5.1.3     Power and Authority.
          -------------------

               Each Loan Party has full power to enter into, execute, deliver,

5.1.4     Validity and Binding Effect.
          ---------------------------

               This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered
by each Loan Party, and each other Loan Document which any Loan Party is
required to execute and deliver on or after the date hereof will have been duly

such Loan Document. This Agreement and each other Loan Document constitutes, or
will constitute, legal, valid, and binding obligations of each Loan Party which
is or will be a party thereto on and after its date of delivery thereof,
enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except to the
extent that enforceability of any of such Loan Document may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws
affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally or limiting the
right of specific performance.

5.1.5     No Conflict.
          -----------

               Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents by any Loan Party nor the consummation of the transactions herein

benefit of the Banks pursuant to the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security

rights of the Agent will have been taken, and there will be upon execution and
delivery of the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security Agreement, the Pledge
Agreement and the Security Agreement, such filings and such taking of
possession, no necessity for any further action in order to preserve, protect
and continue such rights, except the filing of continuation statements with
respect to such financing statements within six months prior to each five-year
anniversary of the filing of such financing statements. All filing fees and
other expenses in connection with each such action have been or will be paid by

Act of 1933, as amended, and the regulations promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder and by applicable state securities laws.  There

                             --------
liabilities forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any Lien

               Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries

other insurable hazards as such assets are commonly

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

insured (including fire, extended coverage, property damage, workers'
compensation, public liability and business interruption insurance) and against
other risks (including errors and omissions) in such amounts as similar
properties and assets are insured by prudent companies in similar circumstances
carrying on similar businesses, and with reputable and financially sound
insurers, including self-insurance to the extent customary, all as reasonably
determined by the Agent. At the request of the Agent, the Loan Parties shall
deliver to the Agent and each of the Banks (x) on the Initial Credit Date and
annually thereafter an original certificate of insurance signed by the Loan
Parties' independent insurance broker describing and certifying as to the
existence of the insurance on the Collateral required to be maintained by this

each of the Loan Parties. Such policies of insurance shall contain special
endorsements, in form and substance acceptable to the Agent, which shall (i)
specify the Agent as an additional insured and lender loss payee as its
interests may appear, with the understanding that any obligation imposed upon
the insured (including the liability to pay premiums) shall be the sole
obligation of the applicable Loan Parties and not that of the insured, (ii)
provide that the interest of the Banks shall be insured regardless of any breach
or violation by the applicable Loan Parties of any warranties, declarations or
conditions contained in such policies or any action or inaction of the
applicable Loan Parties or others insured under such policies, (iii) provide a
waiver of any right of the insurers to set off or counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, (iv) provide that any and all
rights of subrogation which the insurers may have or acquire shall be, at all
times and in all respects, junior and subordinate to the prior payment in full
of the Indebtedness hereunder and that no insurer shall exercise or assert any
right of subrogation until such time as the Indebtedness hereunder has been paid
in full and the Commitments have terminated, (v) provide, except in the case of
public liability insurance and workmen's compensation insurance, that all
insurance proceeds for losses to assets of less than $5,000,000 shall be
adjusted with and payable to the applicable Loan Parties and that all insurance
proceeds for losses to assets of $5,000,000 or more shall be adjusted by
Borrower with the consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) unless there then exists an Event of Default in which case such losses
shall be adjusted by Agent and, in all cases all such losses of $5,000,000 or
more shall be payable to the Agent, (vi) include effective waivers by the
insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against the Agent, (vii) provide
that no cancellation of such policies for any reason (including non-payment of
premium) nor any change therein shall be effective until at least thirty (30)
days after receipt by the Agent of written notice of such cancellation or
change, (viii) be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance
carried by or on behalf of any additional insureds with respect to their
respective interests in the Collateral, and (ix) provide that inasmuch as the
policy covers more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements
and endorsements (except limits of liability) shall operate as if there were a
separate policy covering each insured. The applicable Loan Parties shall notify
the Agent promptly of any occurrence causing a material loss or decline in value
of the Collateral and the estimated (or actual, if available) amount of such
loss or decline. Any monies received by the Agent constituting insurance
proceeds may, at the option of the Agent, (i) be applied by the Agent to the
payment of the Loans (with a corresponding reduction of the Commitments) in such
manner as the Agent may reasonably determine, or (ii) be disbursed to the
applicable Loan Parties on such terms as are deemed appropriate by the Agent for
the repair, restoration and/or replacement of property in respect of which such
proceeds were received and, in which case, the Commitments shall not be reduced.

Material Adverse Change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Borrower shall cause all of its Plans and all Plans maintained by any member of
the ERISA Group to be funded in accordance with the minimum funding requirements
of ERISA and shall make, and cause each member of the ERISA Group to make, in a
timely manner, all contributions due to Plans, Benefit Arrangements, and

                                         --------
be a violation of this Section 7.1.9 if any failure to comply with any Law would
not result in fines, penalties, remediation costs, other similar liabilities, or
injunctive relief which in the aggregate would constitute a Material Adverse
Change.

               For purposes of the above calculation for months ending on or
before December 31, 2000, Consolidated Cash Flow and consolidated interest
expense of Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be respectively calculated by
dividing the Consolidated Cash Flow and consolidated interest expense of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period commencing January 1, 2000, through
the calendar month just ended by the number of calendar months elapsed since
January 1, 2000, through the calendar month just ended and then multiplying such

credited or finally credited, or otherwise) now or hereafter maintained by the
Borrower or such other Loan Party for its own account (but not including funds
held in custodian or trust accounts) with such Bank or participant or such
branch, Subsidiary, or Affiliate. Such right shall exist whether or not any Bank
or the Agent shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, whether or not such debt owing to or funds held for the account of the
Borrower or such other Loan Party is or are matured or unmatured and regardless
of the existence or adequacy of any Guaranty or any other security, right or
remedy available to any Bank or the Agent; and

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

               If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and whether

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

               Any notice required to be given by the Agent of a sale, lease, or
other disposition of the Collateral or any other intended action by the Agent,
if given ten (10) days prior to such proposed action, shall constitute
commercially reasonable and fair notice thereof to the Borrower.

9.        THE AGENT
          ---------

9.1       Appointment.
          -----------

          Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates, appoints, and authorizes ABN
AMRO to act as Agent for such Bank under this Agreement and to execute and
deliver or accept on behalf of each of the Banks the other Loan Documents. Each
Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf
under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
other instruments and agreements referred to herein, and to exercise such powers
and to perform such duties hereunder as are specifically delegated to or
required of the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. ABN AMRO Bank N.V. agrees to act as the Agent on
behalf of the Banks to the extent provided in this Agreement.

9.2       Delegation of Duties.
          --------------------

          The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through agents
or employees (provided such delegation does not constitute a relinquishment of
              --------
its duties as Agent) and, subject to Sections 9.5 and 9.6, shall be entitled to
engage and pay for the advice or services of any attorneys, accountants, or
other experts concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder and to
rely upon any advice so obtained.

9.3       Nature of Duties; Independent Credit Investigation.
          --------------------------------------------------

          The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or otherwise exist. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a
fiduciary or trust relationship in respect of any Bank; and nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to
impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as
expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not
intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used
merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each
Bank expressly acknowledges (i) that the

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by
the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any of the
Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by
the Agent to any Bank; (ii) that it has made and will continue to make, without
reliance upon the Agent, its own independent investigation of the financial
condition and affairs and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each of
the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement and the making and
continuance of the Loans hereunder; and (iii) except as expressly provided
herein, that the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or
on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other information
with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of
any Loan or at any time or times thereafter.

9.4       Actions in Discretion of Agent; Instructions From the Banks.
          -----------------------------------------------------------

          The Agent agrees, upon the written request of the Required Banks, to
take or refrain from taking any action of the type specified as being within the
Agent's rights, powers, or discretion herein, provided that the Agent shall not
be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or
which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable
Law. In the absence of a request by the Required Banks, the Agent shall have
authority, in its sole discretion, to take or not to take any such action,
unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Banks or
all of the Banks. Any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such
instructions or discretion shall be binding on the Banks, subject to Section
9.6. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.6, no Bank shall have any right of
action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or
refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the
Required Banks, or in the absence of such instructions, in the absolute
discretion of the Agent.

9.5       Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower.
          ----------------------------------------------------------

          The Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Agent and
hold the Agent harmless against (a) liability for the payment of all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and disbursements, including fees and expenses of
counsel (including the allocated costs of staff counsel), and, after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, of appraisers and environmental consultants,
incurred by the Agent (i) in connection with the development, negotiation,
preparation, printing, execution, administration, syndication, interpretation,
and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) relating to
any requested amendments, waivers, or consents pursuant to the provisions
hereof, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof
and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and
(iv) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection,
preservation, exercise, or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any
rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any
foreclosure, collection, or bankruptcy proceedings, and (b) all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent, in its capacity as such, in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or
any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that
                                                                  --------
the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses, or disbursements if the same results from the Agent's gross negligence
or willful misconduct, or if the Borrower was not given notice of the subject
claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense
(except that the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give
notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower), or if

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without
the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In
addition, the Borrower agrees to reimburse and pay all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses of the Agent's regular employees and agents engaged periodically to
perform audits of the Loan Parties books, records and business properties;
provided, however, that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
Borrower's obligation to reimburse Agent for audits shall be limited to one
audit in any twelve consecutive month period.

9.6       Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability.
          -----------------------------------------------

          Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys, or Affiliates shall (a) be liable to any Bank for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith
including pursuant to any Loan Document, unless caused by its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the
Banks for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity, or the due
execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or for any recital,
representation, warranty, document, certificate, report, or statement herein or
made or furnished under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, or (c) be under any obligation to any of the Banks to ascertain or to
inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants, or
conditions hereof or thereof on the part of the Loan Parties, or the financial
condition of the Loan Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any
Event of Default or Potential Default. No claim may be made by any of the Loan
Parties, any Bank, the Agent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries against
the Agent, any Bank, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys, or Affiliates, or any of them, for any special, indirect, or
consequential damages or, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, for any
punitive damages in respect of any claim or cause of action (whether based on
contract, tort, statutory liability, or any other ground) based on, arising out
of, or related to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or
any act, omission, or event occurring in connection therewith, including the
negotiation, documentation, administration, or collection of the Loans, and each
of the Loan Parties (for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), the
Agent and each Bank hereby waive, release and agree never to sue upon any claim
for any such damages, whether such claim now exists or hereafter arises and
whether or not it is now known or suspected to exist in its favor. Each Bank
agrees that, except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly required
to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder or given to the Agent for
the account of or with copies for the Banks, the Agent and each of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects, or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come
into the possession of the Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys, or Affiliates.

9.7       Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by Banks.
          ---------------------------------------------------

          Each Bank agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (to the extent
not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the
Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share from and against all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses, or disbursements, including attorneys' fees and disbursements
(including the allocated costs of staff counsel), and costs of appraisers and
environmental consultants, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent, in its capacity as such, in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or
any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that
                                                                  --------
no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or

                                      -70-
<PAGE>

disbursements (a) if the same results from the Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct, or (b) if such Bank was not given notice of the subject
claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense
(except that such Bank shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give
notice does not result in a loss to the Bank), or (c) if the same results from a
compromise and settlement agreement entered into without the consent of such
Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, each Bank agrees
promptly upon demand to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrower to do so) in
proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due and payable by the Borrower
to the Agent in connection with the Agent's periodic audit of the Loan Parties'
books, records, and business properties.

9.8       Reliance by Agent.
          -----------------

          The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram,
telecopy, email, telex, or teletype message, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order, or other document or
conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon
the advice and opinions of counsel and other professional advisers selected by
the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

9.9       Notice of Default.
          -----------------

          The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has
received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement,
describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default."

9.10      Notices.
          -------

          The Agent shall promptly send to each Bank a copy of all notices
received from the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents promptly upon receipt thereof. The Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the other Banks of each change in the Base Rate and the
effective date thereof.

9.11      Banks in Their Individual Capacities.
          ------------------------------------

          With respect to its Convertible Revolving Credit Commitment and the
Convertible Revolving Credit Loans made by it and any other rights and powers
given to it as a Bank hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the
Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term "Banks" shall,
unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual
capacity. ABN AMRO Bank and its Affiliates and each of the Banks and their
respective Affiliates may, without liability to account, except as prohibited
herein, make loans to, accept deposits from, discount drafts for, act as trustee
under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust
business with, the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, in the case of the Agent,
as though it were not acting as Agent hereunder and in the case of each Bank, as
though such Bank were not a Bank hereunder. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant
to such activities, the Agent or its Affiliates may (i) receive information
regarding the Loan Parties

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

(including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in
favor of the Loan Parties) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to them, and (ii) accept fees and other
consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.

9.12      Holders of Notes.
          ----------------

          The Agent may deem and treat any payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. Any
request, authority, or consent of any Person who at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, or assignee of such
Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

9.13      Equalization of Banks.
          ---------------------

          The Banks and the holders of any participations in any Commitments or
Loans or other rights or obligations of a Bank hereunder agree among themselves
that, with respect to all amounts received by any Bank or any such holder for
application on any Obligation hereunder or under any such participation, whether
received by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of
the right of set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim, or by any other non-pro
rata source, equitable adjustment will be made in the manner stated in the
following sentence so that, in effect, all such excess amounts will be shared
ratably among the Banks and such holders in proportion to their interests in
payments on the Loans, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4.3, 4.4.2 or
4.6 . The Banks or any such holder receiving any such amount shall purchase for
cash from each of the other Banks an interest in such Bank's Loans in such
amount as shall result in a ratable participation by the Banks and each such
holder in the aggregate unpaid amount of the Loans, provided that if all or any
                                                    --------
portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the Bank or the
holder making such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other
amounts, if any, required by law (including court order) to be paid by the Bank
or the holder making such purchase.

9.14      Successor Agent.
          ---------------

          The Agent (i) may resign as Agent or (ii) shall resign if such
resignation is requested by the Required Banks (if the Agent is a Bank, the
Agent's Loans and its Commitment shall be considered in determining whether the
Required Banks have requested such resignation) or required by Section 4.4.2, in
either case of (i) or (ii) by giving not less than thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to the Borrower. If the Agent shall resign under this Agreement,
then either (a) the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a
successor agent for the Banks, subject to the consent of the Borrower, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (b) if a successor agent shall not
be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following the
Agent's notice to the Banks of its resignation, then the Agent shall appoint,
with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
a successor agent who shall serve as Agent until such time as the Required Banks
appoint and the Borrower consents to the appointment of a successor agent. Upon
its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above, such successor agent
shall succeed to the rights, powers, and duties of the Agent, and the term
"Agent" shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the
former Agent's rights, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated without
any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the
parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of any

                                      -72-
<PAGE>

Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to the benefit of
such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by reason of such resignation
be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not taken by it
while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

9.15      Agent's Fee.
          -----------

          The Borrower shall pay to the Agent a nonrefundable fee (the "Agent's
Fee") for Agent's services hereunder, and such other fees and expenses, pursuant
to the terms of a letter, dated as of September 28, 2000 (the "Agent's Letter"),
between the Borrower and Agent, as amended from time to time.

9.16      Availability of Funds.
          ---------------------

          The Agent may assume that each Bank has made or will make the proceeds
of a Loan available to the Agent unless the Agent shall have been notified by
such Bank on or before the later of (i) the close of Business on the Business
Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to such Loan, or (ii) two (2)
hours before the time on which the Agent actually funds the proceeds of such
Loan to the Borrower (whether using its own funds pursuant to this Section 9.16
or using proceeds deposited with the Agent by the Banks and whether such funding
occurs before or after the time on which Banks are required to deposit the
proceeds of such Loan with the Agent). The Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available
to the Agent by such Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on
demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount forthwith upon
such demand from the Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of
each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available
to the Borrower and ending on the date the Agent recovers such amount, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three
(3) days after such interest shall begin to accrue and (ii) the applicable
interest rate in respect of such Loan after the end of such three-day period.

9.17      Calculations.
          ------------

          In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent
shall not be liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Bank
whether in respect of the Loans, fees, or any other amounts due to the Banks
under this Agreement. In the event an error in computing any amount payable to
any Bank is made, the Agent, the Borrower and each affected Bank shall,
forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be
required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

9.18      Beneficiaries.
          -------------

          Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Section 9
are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and the Loan Parties
shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In
performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act
solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have
assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any
of the Loan Parties.

10.   MISCELLANEOUS
      -------------

10.1    Modifications, Amendments, or Waivers.
        -------------------------------------

          Provided that there exists no Event of Default or Potential Default
and subject to the satisfaction of all other conditions hereof pertaining to the
making of additional Loans, the Agent may consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld) from time to time to one or more written requests of
Borrower to increase (by principal increments not less than $5,000,000) the
principal amount of the Convertible Revolving Credit Commitments up to a total
aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000 by the addition of additional
financial institutions as Banks hereunder (and in no event by an increase of any
Bank's Convertible Revolving Credit Commitment without such Bank's written
agreement thereto) whereupon each such increase shall be effective upon (i) each
such financial institution joining this Agreement as a Bank hereunder by
executing an assumption and joinder agreement substantially similar to an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (ii) Borrower providing appropriate
promissory notes to each such additional financial institution and such other
documents as Agent or such financial institutions may reasonably request, and
(iii) Agent issuing a new Schedule 1.1(B) showing the Commitments of all Banks,
                          ---------------
including such additional financial institutions; and, each Loan Party and each
Bank hereby consents to each such increase at any time or times.

          With the written consent of the Required Banks, the Agent, acting on
behalf of all the Banks, and the Borrower, on behalf of the Loan Parties, may
from time to time enter into written agreements amending or changing any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the
Banks or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers
or consents to a departure from the due performance of the Obligations of the
Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver, or consent
made with such written consent shall be effective to bind all the Banks and the
Loan Parties; provided, that, without the written consent of all the Banks, no
              --------
such agreement, waiver, or consent may be made which will:

10.1.1  Increase of Commitment; Extension or Expiration Date.
        ----------------------------------------------------

          Increase the amount of the Convertible Revolving Credit Commitment or
Swingline Commitment of any Bank hereunder or extend the Convertible Revolving
Credit Expiration Date;

10.1.2  Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal Interest or Fees;
        --------------------------------------------------------------
Modification of Terms of Payment.
--------------------------------

          Whether or not any Loans are outstanding, extend the time for payment
of principal or interest of any Loan, the Commitment Fee or any other fee
payable to any Bank, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest
borne by any Loan or reduce the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any
Bank, or otherwise affect the terms of payment of the principal of or interest
of any Loan, the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Bank;

10.1.3  Release of Collateral or Guarantor.
        ----------------------------------

          Except for sales of assets permitted by Section 7.2.7, release any
Collateral consisting of capital stock or other ownership interests of any Loan
Party or its Subsidiary or substantially all of the assets of any Loan Party,
any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty Agreement or any other
security for any of the Loan Parties' Obligations Agreements; or

                                      -74-
<PAGE>

10.1.4    Miscellaneous.
          -------------

          Amend Section 4.2, 9.6 or 9.13 or this Section 10.1, alter any
provision regarding the pro rata treatment of the Banks, change the definition
of Required Banks, or change any requirement providing for the Banks or the
Required Banks to authorize the taking of any action hereunder;

provided, further, that no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the
--------  -------
interests, rights or obligations of the Agent in its capacity as Agent or as the
issuer of Letters of Credit shall be effective without the written consent of
the Agent.

10.2      No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required.
          ---------------------------------------------------------

          No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Agent or any Bank
in exercising any right, power, remedy, or privilege under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy,
or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power,
remedy, or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Banks under
this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit,
consent, or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Bank of any
breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or
condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to
the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

10.3      Reimbursement and Indemnification of Banks by the Borrower; Taxes.
          -----------------------------------------------------------------

          The Borrower agrees unconditionally upon demand to pay or reimburse to
each Bank (other than the Agent, as to which the Borrower's Obligations are set
forth in Section 9.5), and to save such Bank harmless against (i) liability for
the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and disbursements
(including fees and expenses of counsel (including allocated costs of staff
counsel) for each Bank except with respect to (a) and (b) below), incurred by
such Bank (a) in connection with the administration and interpretation of this
Agreement, and other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (b)
relating to any amendments, waivers, or consents pursuant to the provisions
hereof, (c) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof
and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and
(d) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection,
preservation, exercise, or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any
rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any
foreclosure, collection, or bankruptcy proceedings, or (ii) all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against such Bank, in its capacity as such, in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or
any action taken or omitted by such Bank hereunder or thereunder, provided that
the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses, or disbursements (A) if the same results from such Bank's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, or (B) if the Borrower was not given notice of
the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at
its expense (except that the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such
failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower) and, in this
connection, so long as no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and
is continuing, the

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

Borrower and each such affected Bank shall endeavor to cooperate in the defense
of any such claim, or (C) if the same results from a compromise or settlement
agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Banks will attempt to minimize the fees and expenses
of legal counsel for the Banks which are subject to reimbursement by the
Borrower hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm to represent the
Banks and the Agent if appropriate under the circumstances. The Borrower agrees
unconditionally to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes
or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by the Agent or any
Bank to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
and the Borrower agrees unconditionally to save the Agent and the Banks harmless
from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities, or losses
with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any
such taxes, fees, or impositions.

10.4  Holidays.
      --------

      Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a
day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next Business
Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees,
except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Convertible
Revolving Credit Expiration Date, as applicable, if the relevant expiration date
is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken
hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day
which is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on
the next following Business Day (except as provided in Section 3.2 with respect
to Interest Periods under the Euro-Rate Option), and such extension of time
shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with
such payment or action.

10.5  Funding by Branch, Subsidiary, or Affiliate.
      -------------------------------------------

10.5.1    Notional Funding.
          ----------------

               Each Bank shall have the right from time to time, without notice
to the Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary, or Affiliate (which for the
purposes of this Section 10.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is
directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common
control with any corporation or association which directly or indirectly
controls such Bank) of such Bank to have made, maintained, or funded any Loan to
which the Euro-Rate Option applies at any time, provided that immediately
                                                --------
following (on the assumption that a payment were then due from the Borrower to
such other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrower would not be
under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 4.6 than it would
have been in the absence of such change.  Notional funding offices may be
selected by each Bank without regard to such Bank's actual methods of making,
maintaining, or funding the Loans or any sources of funding actually used by or
available to such Bank.

10.5.2    Actual Funding.
          --------------

               Each Bank shall have the right from time to time to make or
maintain any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary, or Affiliate of such
Bank to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section
10.5.2. If any Bank causes a branch, Subsidiary, or Affiliate to make or
maintain any part of the Loans hereunder, all terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be
applicable to such part of the Loans to the same extent as if such Loans were
made or maintained by such Bank, but in no event shall any Bank's use of such a

                                      -76-
<PAGE>

branch, Subsidiary, or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans
hereunder cause such Bank or such branch, Subsidiary, or Affiliate to incur any
cost or expenses payable by the Borrower hereunder or require the Borrower to
pay any other compensation to any Bank (including any expenses incurred or
payable pursuant to Section 4.6 ) which would otherwise not be incurred.

10.6  Notices.
      -------

      All notices, requests, demands, directions, and other communications (as
used in this Section 10.6, collectively referred to as "notices") given to or
made upon any party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be by
telephone or in writing (including telex or facsimile communication) unless
otherwise expressly permitted hereunder and shall be delivered or sent by telex
or facsimile to the respective parties at the addresses and numbers set forth
under their respective names on Schedule 1.1(B) hereof or in accordance with any
                                ---------------
subsequent unrevoked written direction from any party to the others.  All
notices shall, except as otherwise expressly herein provided, be effective (a)
in the case of telex or facsimile, when received, (b) in the case of hand-
delivered notice, when hand-delivered, (c) in the case of telephone, when
telephoned, provided, however, that in order to be effective, telephonic notices
            --------
must be confirmed in writing no later than the next day by letter, facsimile, or
telex, (d) if given by mail, four (4) days after such communication is deposited
in the mail with first-class postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and (e)
if given by any other means (including by air courier), when delivered;
provided, that notices to the Agent shall not be effective until received.  Any
--------
Bank giving any notice to any Loan Party shall simultaneously send a copy
thereof to the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify the other Banks of the
receipt by it of any such notice.

10.7  Severability.
      ------------

      The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable.  If any
provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or
in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any
manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other
jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

10.8  Governing Law.
      -------------

      Each Letter of Credit and Section 2.5 shall be subject to the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International
Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the same may be revised or amended
from time to time, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the internal
laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws principles,
and the balance of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the
Laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

10.9  Prior Understanding.
      -------------------

<PAGE>

10.10  Duration; Survival.
       ------------------

       All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein
or made in connection herewith shall survive the making of Loans and issuance of
Letters of Credit and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, any investigation by the Agent or the Banks, the making of Loans,
issuance of Letters of Credit, or payment in full of the Loans. All covenants
and agreements of the Loan Parties contained in Sections 7.1, 7.1.10, and 0
herein shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof so
long as the Borrower may borrow or request Letters of Credit hereunder and until
termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Loans and expiration
or termination of all Letters of Credit. All covenants and agreements of the
Borrower contained herein relating to the payment of principal, interest,
premiums, additional compensation or expenses, and indemnification, including
those set forth in Section 4 and Sections 9.5, 9.7, and 10.3, shall survive
payment in full of the Loans, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit
and termination of the Commitments.

10.11  Successors and Assigns.
       ----------------------

          (i)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the Banks, the Agent, the Loan Parties, and their respective
successors and assigns, except that none of the Loan Parties may assign or
transfer any of its rights and Obligations hereunder or any interest herein.
Each Bank may, at its own cost, make assignments of or sell participations in
all or any part of its Convertible Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans
made by it to one or more banks or other entities, subject to the consent of the
Borrower and the Agent with respect to any assignee, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld provided that (1) no consent of the Borrower shall be
                      --------
required (A) if an Event of Default exists and is continuing, or (B) in the case
of an assignment by a Bank to an Affiliate of such Bank or to another Bank, (2)
any assignment by a Bank to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Bank may
not be made in amounts less than the lesser of $2,000,000 or the amount of the
assigning Bank's Commitment, and (3) a Bank may assign an interest or sell a
participation in less than 100% of its Commitments or Loans, provided that such
                                                             --------
Bank sells an equal percentage interest or participation in each of its
Convertible Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans. In the case of an
assignment, upon receipt by the Agent of the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless
otherwise provided therein), the same rights, benefits, and obligations as it
would have if it had been a signatory Bank hereunder, the Commitments shall be
adjusted accordingly, and upon surrender of any Convertible Revolving Credit
Note subject to such assignment, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a new
Convertible Revolving Credit Note to the assignee, if such assignee requests
such a Note in an amount equal to the amount of the Convertible Revolving Credit
Commitment assumed by it and a new Convertible Revolving Credit Note to the
assigning Bank, if the assigning Bank requests such a Note, in an amount equal
to the Convertible Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder. Any
Bank which assigns any or all of its Commitment or Loans to a Person other than
an Affiliate of such Bank shall pay to the Agent a service fee in the amount of
$3,500 for each assignment. In the case of a participation, the participant
shall only have the rights specified in Section 8.2.3 (the participant's rights
against such Bank in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the
agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto and
not to include any voting rights except with respect to changes of the type
referenced in Sections 10.1.1, 10.1.2, or 10.1.3), all of such Bank's
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall remain
unchanged, and all amounts payable by any Loan Party hereunder or thereunder
shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation.

10.17  Tax Withholding Clause.
       ----------------------

       Each Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank that is not incorporated
under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it
will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) duly completed copies
of the following:  (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, 4224, or 1001, or
other applicable form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying
that such Bank, assignee, or participant is entitled to receive payments under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without deduction or withholding of
any United States federal income taxes, or is subject to such tax at a reduced
rate under an applicable tax treaty, or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8
or other applicable form or a certificate of such Bank, assignee, or participant
indicating that no such exemption or reduced rate is allowable with respect to
such payments.  Each Bank, assignee, or participant required to deliver to the
Borrower and the Agent a form or certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall deliver such form or certificate as follows: (A) each Bank which is a
party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver such form or certificate at least
five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are
payable by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Bank; (B) each
assignee or participant shall deliver such form or certificate at least five (5)
Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or participation
(unless the Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or
participant to deliver such form or certificate less than five (5) Business Days
before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the
Agent).  Each Bank, assignee, or participant which so delivers a Form W-8, W-9,
4224, or 1001 further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the
Agent two (2) additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before
the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of
any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and
such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Agent, either certifying that such Bank,
assignee or participant is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal income taxes or is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an
applicable tax treaty or stating that no such exemption or reduced rate is
allowable.  The Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income
taxes at the full withholding rate unless the Bank, assignee, or participant
establishes an exemption or that it is subject to a reduced rate as established
pursuant to the above provisions.

hereto as Exhibit 1.1(G)(1) pursuant to which it shall join as a Guarantor each
          -----------------
of the documents to which the Guarantors are parties; and (ii) documents in the
forms described in Section 6.1 modified as appropriate to relate to such
Subsidiary.  The Loan Parties shall deliver such Guarantor Joinder and related
documents to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after the date of the
filing of such Subsidiary's articles of incorporation if the Subsidiary is a
corporation, the date of the filing of its certificate of limited partnership if
it is a limited partnership, or the date of its organization if it is an entity

Price") shall be $6,552,000 and shall be paid according to the following terms:

          a. Note A. Purchaser will issue to Seller a promissory note
             ------
             substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.03(a) in the
                                                          ---------------
             original principal amount of $4,162,000 ("Note A"). Note A will be
             a senior secured note due 180 days from the date of this Agreement.
             Note A shall bear interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum for the
             first 90 days, and 10.0% per annum thereafter. All interest shall
             accrue monthly and be added to the principal balance of Note A.
             Note A shall be secured by the Assets, a security interest in the
             stock of Purchaser and the personal guarantee of Roudebush, in each
             case as evidenced by documentation and filing as shall be
             reasonably satisfactory to Seller.

             ------

             12.0% per annum. Note B shall share a first security interest in
             the Assets and the guarantee securing Note A, but shall be
             subordinated to any future debt that replaces Note A, which
             subordination is subject to negotiation with the new lender and
             Seller.

          c. Adjustments to Purchase Price. If the number of customers that have
             -----------------------------
             had usage of the services of the Business during the months of
             April, May or June, 2000 (the "Active Customers") is less than
             100,000, then Note A shall be reduced by the same percentage by
             which the number of Active Customers is less than 100,000.
             Similarly, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the amount, if any,
             by which 95% of the Accounts Receivable (net of allowance or
             reserve for doubtful or uncollectible accounts) have not been
             collected within 180 days after the date of the termination of the
             Management Services Agreement, provided that payments will be
             applied to the oldest Accounts Receivable outstanding first.

"Allocation Schedule") for purposes of filings under Section 1060 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Seller and Purchaser
each shall execute and file with the IRS in a timely manner Form 8594, and all
federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, in accordance with such final

acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the date of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement on August 25, 2000 and the ultimate closing of the
transaction thereafter, for both tax and accounting purposes the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be effective as of August 1, 2000. Further,
the parties acknowledge and agree that Note B is so contingent and uncertain as
to be not susceptible of valuation as of the date of this Agreement and,
accordingly, will not be considered part of the Purchase Price unless and until
the contingencies are resolved.

          1.06 Assignment of Certain Contracts.
               -------------------------------
          (a) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an
attempt to agree to assign any contract that is in law non-assignable without
the consent of any other party thereto, unless such consent shall have been
given.  To the extent any such necessary consent has not been obtained, in order
that the full value of every such contract that is included within the Assets
may be realized, at Purchaser's request and direction, Seller shall take all
such action as shall in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser be necessary or
proper (i) in order to preserve for the benefit of Purchaser the rights and
obligations of Seller under such Contract, and (ii) to facilitate the collection
of the monies due and payable, or to become due and payable, to Seller pursuant
to every such contract, and Seller shall remit such monies to Purchaser within
five (5) business days of collection.

          (b) Purchaser shall be entitled to the benefits accruing after the
date of this Agreement of any such non-assigned contract to the extent that,
pursuant to the following sentence, Purchaser performs all of Seller's
obligations due to be performed under such non-assigned contract.  Seller will
remit to Purchaser payments Seller receives under such non-assigned contract to
the extent that Purchaser has performed Seller's obligations to which such
payments relate.  Purchaser, at its expense, shall perform all of Seller's
obligations due to be performed under any such non-assigned contract that is
included among the Assumed Liabilities to the extent (i) Purchaser can perform
such obligations without violating the terms of such non-assigned contract and
(ii) Purchaser is being provided the benefits of such non-assigned contract.

amended, of Seller, or (ii) result in the violation by Seller of any law or

          3.04 Title to Assets; Encumbrances; Condition. Except for the Assumed
               ----------------------------------------

Statements"), fully reflect the costs that are both direct and variable and that
are associated with the Business in all material respects.  Notwithstanding the

                      ------------------------------------
                            OF SELLER AND PURCHASER
                            -----------------------

     5.01 License of Marketing Names. Seller hereby grants to Purchaser (i) a
          --------------------------
royalty free, exclusive and non-transferable license to use the trade name
National Collegiate(TM), until such time as the trade name National

extent that such name is owned by Seller, solely in connection with the Business
and subject to the Terms and Conditions in the following sentence and (ii) a
royalty free, non-exclusive and non-transferable license for one year from the
date of this Agreement to use the trade names "Premiere Worldlink" and
"Afcom(R)", to the extent that such names are owned by Seller, solely in
connection with the Business and subject to the Terms and Conditions in the
following sentence.  The licenses granted to Purchaser pursuant to this Section
5.01 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions (the "Terms and
Conditions"):

     (a)  Purchaser shall not be allowed to utilize any specific Marketing Name
          other than National Collegiate(TM) as part of its corporate or
          business name;
     (b)  Purchaser shall not attempt to register any specific Marketing Name
          other than National Collegiate(TM) in its name or on behalf of Seller
          in any jurisdiction;
     (c)  Purchaser shall not challenge Seller's ownership or rights in and to
          the Marketing Names; provided, however, that with respect to National
          Collegiate(TM), this condition will expire upon payment in full of all
          amounts owing under Note A and Note B;
     (d)  All goodwill arising out of Purchaser's use of the Marketing Names
          shall inure to the benefit of Seller;
     (e)  The breach or violation of any provision of the Marketing Names
          license granted by Seller to Purchaser herein shall give Seller the
          right to terminate such Marketing Name license immediately upon notice
          to Purchaser;
     (f)  Seller may terminate any of the foregoing licenses to Purchaser at any
          time that Purchaser's use of any of the licensed trade names is
          damaging to the trade names or the goodwill represented by such trade
          names.

     5.02 Expenses.
          --------

          (a) All sales, use, transfer and all other non-income taxes, and any
fees incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Assets (the
"Transfer Taxes") shall be born by Purchaser.  Seller shall file all necessary
tax returns and other documents required to be filed with respect to all such
Transfer Taxes.  The parties will cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary
to make such filings or returns as may be required.

          (b) Except as provided below, regardless of whether the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each of Seller and Purchaser
shall be responsible for all expenses and fees incurred by it or him in
connection with the preparation, negotiation or consummation of this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

          (c) All property, ad valorem, real estate, and other similar taxes and
all regulatory and governmental fees with respect to the Assets or the Business
shall be apportioned for the accounts of Seller and Purchaser based on the date
of this Agreement.

     5.03 Employees. During the term of the Management Services Agreement,
          ---------
Purchaser shall not take any action that could undermine Seller's ability to
perform its obligations under the Management Services Agreement. Purchaser
acknowledges that its hiring Seller's employees during the term of the
Management Services Agreement without Seller's consent could undermine Seller's
ability to so perform and could otherwise harm Seller. Consequently, for these
and other reasons, during the term of the Management Services Agreement,
Purchaser shall not hire or solicit any employees of Seller without the Seller's
prior written consent, provided, however, that Purchaser may solicit, but not
hire, Scott Trilling during the term of the Management Services Agreement as
long as he is an employee of Seller or an affiliate of Seller. In the event that
Purchaser hires Mr. Trilling after the termination of the Management Services
Agreement, Seller will waive the relevant provisions of Mr. Trilling's
Confidentiality Agreement with Seller solely to the extent necessary for Mr.
Trilling to perform the duties of his employment with Purchaser. After the date
of termination of the Management Services Agreement, Purchaser shall have no
obligation or responsibility for hiring any employees of Seller, although after
the date of termination of the Management Services Agreement certain employees
may be hired by Purchaser in its sole discretion as new employees and Purchaser
may interview such employees prior to the date of termination of the Management
Services agreement if it first obtains the written consent of Seller. With the
exception of liability and claims involving or arising from acts or omissions of
Purchaser or its employees or representatives, Seller agrees to be responsible
for any and all liability which may arise as the result of wage claims, benefits
claims, or other employment-related claims of any sort whatsoever made by any
employee, including those retained as new hires by Purchaser, for wages and
benefits earned, and acts or omissions performed, prior to the date of their
termination of employment by Seller. To the extent legally possible at no
additional cost to Seller, Seller shall keep in force any confidentiality and
non-compete agreements with current or past employees, as they may affect the
use of the Assets to be acquired herein. Seller also agrees to provide its
commercially reasonable assistance to Purchaser in the enforcement of such
Agreements. In no event, however, shall Seller be held liable if any of its
current or past employees do not comply with the provisions of any
confidentiality and non-compete agreements or if any such agreements are found
to be unenforceable or inapplicable in part or in full. Purchaser and Seller
hereby acknowledge that Purchaser will be deemed to be a successor in interest
to the rights and protections in such confidentiality and non-compete agreements
that are applicable to the Assets and the Business. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Seller is not assigning or conveying its interest in such
confidentiality and non-competition agreements and Seller is retaining all
rights and protections applicable to it or its ongoing business under such
agreements.

     5.04 Aid in Transition. After the date of this Agreement, each of Seller,
          -----------------
on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to fully and completely cooperate in the prompt and
complete transfer of the Assets to Purchaser other than Assets not transferred
until the termination of the Management Services Agreement and other than those
Assets required by Seller to perform its obligations under the Management
Services Agreement. For six (6) months after the date of the termination of the
Management Services Agreement, or whatever time it takes to complete the
transfer, Seller's employees shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to
assist in any final transition related issues. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Seller shall promptly prepare, or cause its agent to promptly prepare (i) all
filings with federal, state and local governmental and regulatory authorities
necessary to transfer the Assets to Purchaser, and (ii) a form of customer
notification to be submitted to all affected customers of Seller describing the
transfer of the Assets to Purchaser. If any governmental or regulatory authority
rejects or requests supplementary information regarding a filing, Seller shall
cause its agent to
                                      -9-
<PAGE>

amend such filing, supply additional information or make a new filing, as may be
necessary. Seller shall submit all required filings to the applicable
governmental or regulatory authorities within forty-five (45) days following the
date of this Agreement, and shall distribute the customer notification to all
affected customers of Seller not later than the earlier of (i) January 25, 2001
or (ii) thirty (30) days after the termination of the Management Services
Agreement. Purchaser and Seller shall apportion between them all costs and
expenses of submitting or distributing the filings or notifications required
pursuant to this Section 5.04, based on whether the applicable jurisdiction
required the filing to be made by Purchaser or by Seller, respectively.

     5.05 Covenant of Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition by Seller. Seller
          ----------------------------------------------------------
acknowledges that Purchaser has a legitimate commercial interest in preventing
direct competition with the Business by Seller.  Seller also acknowledges that
it will completely withdraw from the business of providing stand-alone calling
card services on a retail basis through affinity relationships.  Accordingly, as
long as Purchaser is not in default under this Agreement or either Note A or
Note B, for a period of three (3) years from the date of this Agreement, Seller
and its subsidiaries, affiliates or assignees will not compete directly with the
Business by soliciting the parties to the Contracts in connection with a calling
card product substantially similar to the retail calling cards sold by the
Business on the date of this Agreement unless such calling card functionally is
sold as part of a bundled offering of other products.  Seller agrees that it
will not undertake a direct mailing or marketing effort with respect to the
parties to the Contracts, however, Purchaser recognizes that there may be
coincidental cross marketing in Seller's attempts to market its non-stand-alone
calling card services through partner programs or through the acquisition of
customer lists.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.05,
nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the right of Seller and its
subsidiaries, affiliates and assigns to continue their respective businesses
relating to the Premiere Corporate Calling Card business (including without
limitation, the Access One product), personal assistant business (including
without limitation, its long-distance calling feature), and other products
through the channels of co-branding or private labeling (such as
"Orchestrate(R)") despite the fact that such businesses may include products
that include calling card functionality as a part of such products.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (including
the other provisions of this Section 5.05), Seller's covenants in this Section
5.05 shall not prevent Seller, its successors or assigns from engaging in any
business entered into as a result of a merger, acquisition or other business
continuation.

     5.06 Take or Pay Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery
          ---------------------
of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into an amendment to the
Carrier Agreement described in Section 5.09 in the form attached hereto as

Exhibit 5.06 which shall become effective upon the payment in full of all
------------
amounts owed under Note A.

     5.07 Brubaker Contract. Purchaser and Seller shall each bear one-half of
          -----------------
the $400,000 owed to Craig Brubaker ("Brubaker") for the termination of the
prior agreement between Seller and Brubaker.  Seller shall pay its one-half
($200,000) on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the date of this Agreement or
(ii) February 28, 2001 and Purchaser shall pay its one-half ($200,000) on the
earlier of (i) one year after the date of this Agreement or (ii) August 31,
2001.  In the event that Purchaser defaults in its payment to Brubaker, Seller
at its sole option and discretion may pay such amount to Brubaker, in which
event the principal amount of Note B shall automatically without further action
on the part of Seller or Purchaser be increased by $200,000.

     5.08  Management Services Contract. Seller and Purchaser shall enter into
           ----------------------------
a Management Services Agreement, substantially in the

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

form of Exhibit 5.08 pursuant to which Seller shall manage the Business for the
        ------------
account of Purchaser during the period that Note A is outstanding (the
"Management Services Agreement").

     5.09  Amendment of Carrier Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that in
           ------------------------------
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, they shall enter
into an amendment to the Carrier Agreement dated March 1, 1996, by and between
Seller and Purchaser, providing that immediately upon the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the per minute platform cost shall be limited to a maximum of
1.5 cents.

     5.10 Deliveries by Purchaser. Simultaneously with the execution and
          -----------------------

          (a) articles or certificate of incorporation certified by the
secretary of state of the jurisdiction of incorporation of Purchaser along with
a certificate of existence for Purchaser;

          (b) bylaws of Purchaser certified by its corporate secretary;

          (c) copies, certified by the duly qualified and acting Secretary or
Assistant Secretary of Purchaser, of resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors of Purchaser approving this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby; and

          (d) a written legal opinion from counsel to Purchaser in form and
content reasonably satisfactory to Seller and its counsel and generally in a
form typical for transactions of this type.

     5.11 Guarantee by Roudebush. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery
          ----------------------
of this Agreement, Roudebush shall execute and deliver a Guarantee in the form
of Exhibit 5.11 attached hereto, pursuant to which Roudebush shall guarantee the
   ------------
prompt and absolute payment and performance of each obligation of Purchaser
under Note A and Note B (the "Guarantee").

     5.12 Purchaser Financing. Purchaser shall use its best efforts and will
          -------------------

an amount sufficient to allow Purchaser to repay all amounts owing under Note A
and Note B.

                                   ARTICLE VI
         SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION
         --------------------------------------------------------------

     6.01 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of Seller's and
          ------------------------------------------
Purchaser's representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements as set forth
in this Agreement shall survive the date hereof for a period of six (6) months
after the date of this Agreement or, with respect to covenants and agreements to
be performed in the future, six (6) months after the date for performance of
such covenant or agreement.

     6.02  Indemnification by Seller.
           -------------------------

           (a) Seller agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser
and each of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, affiliates and
assigns (the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all
direct causes of action, suits, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and
expenses

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

(collectively, "Losses") asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any of
the foregoing by reason of, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or
otherwise in respect of the following:

           (i)   any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Seller
pursuant to this Agreement; and

           (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed
by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

                (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this
Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties pursuant to this Section 6.02 for any claims related to the Business
unless and until the aggregate amount of such claims exceeds $75,000 and then
only for the amount by which all such claims exceed $75,000. In addition, in no
event shall Seller's aggregate liability pursuant to Section 6.02 exceed
$1,500,000. Seller shall have the right at its own cost and expense to undertake
to defend against any claim or cause of action under the hold harmless and
indemnity provisions of this Section 6.02. Purchaser shall provide written
notice of any third party claims that may arise under this Section 6.02 promptly
after Purchaser's receipt of notice of any such claim from any third party. If
Purchaser fails to provide prompt notice of any third party claim to Seller,
Seller will not have any indemnification obligations for such claim.

                (c) To the extent that any Losses for which indemnification is
sought under Section 6.02 is covered by insurance held by such Purchaser
Indemnified Party such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
indemnification only with respect to Losses that are in excess of the cash
proceeds received by such indemnified party pursuant to such insurance. If such
Purchaser Indemnified Party receives such cash insurance proceeds, then the
amount payable by Seller pursuant to such indemnification claim shall be reduced
by the amount of such proceeds, whether such proceeds were received prior to or
after the time such indemnification claim is paid. If, pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the insurance proceeds are received by the Purchaser Indemnified Party
after the indemnification claim is paid, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall
promptly remit such insurance proceeds (to the extent of the paid
indemnification claim) to the indemnifying party. Purchaser hereby agrees to
file claims under any of its insurance policies covering Losses to the same
extent that such party would normally file claims under its insurance policies
in the ordinary course of its business.

                (d) The amount of any indemnity payments for Losses under
Section 6.02 hereof shall be (i) decreased to reflect actual tax savings, if
any, to the Purchaser Indemnified Party resulting from the Losses giving rise to
such indemnity payments and (ii) increased to reflect the actual additional
taxes, if any, payable by such Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of the
receipt of such payments, in each case subject to the limitations on
indemnification contained in this Section 6.02. If an indemnity payment is made
prior to the filing of relevant tax returns, the amount shall be determined on
an estimated basis. Proper adjustment shall be made if the actual tax savings or
actual additional taxes differ from the estimated amount.

                (e) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that from and
after the date hereof the indemnification provisions in this Article VI shall be
the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnified
Parties with respect to this Agreement.

                (f) Seller, at its option, shall be entitled to offset any
amount owed by Seller pursuant to this Section 6.02 against either Note A or
Note B.

direct Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any of the foregoing
by reason of, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect
of the following:

           (a) any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; and

           (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed
by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

           (c) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that from and after
the date hereof the indemnification provisions in this Article VI shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and the other Seller Indemnified Parties
with respect to this Agreement. The foregoing sentence shall not diminish,
modify or otherwise affect any of the terms, including without limitation, any
of the remedies available to Purchaser or Seller, under the Management Services
Agreement, Note A, Note B or any of the security documents relating to Note A
and Note B, including without limitation, the security agreement, the pledge
agreement and the Guarantee.

Purchaser shall have the right at its own cost and expense to undertake to
defend against any claim or cause of action under the hold harmless and
indemnity provisions of this Section 6.03.  Seller agrees to provide written
notice of any third party claims that may arise under this Section 6.03 promptly
after Seller's receipt of notice of any such claim from any Third party.  If
Seller fails to provide prompt notice of any third party claim to Purchaser,
Purchaser will not have any indemnification obligations for such claim.

     6.04  No Consequential Damages. In no event shall either Seller or
           ------------------------

have authority to settle the controversy.  The parties may agree to use other
alternative dispute resolution procedures, including mediation, mini-trial, or
other procedures involving a neutral advisor.  Within ten (10) days after
receipt of the written notice from the non-defaulting party, the receiving party
shall submit to the other a written response.  If the matter has not been
resolved within twenty (20) days of receipt of the disputing party's notice, or
if either party will not meet within ten (10) days of receipt of the disputing
party's notice, either party may initiate arbitration in accordance with the
terms of this Section 7.07 after the thirty (30) day period referred to in the
first sentence.

          (a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, in connection
with, or related to this Agreement or any modification, extension or breach
thereof, including any claim for damages or rescission, or both, not resolved by
the foregoing negotiation procedures shall be finally settled by binding
arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association, as in effect at the time of the initiation of
arbitration.  The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator mutually
agreed to by Seller and Purchaser.  In the event that Seller and Purchaser
cannot mutually agree on an arbitrator within 5 business days, then the
arbitration shall be held before a panel of three arbitrators, one to be
selected by Seller, one to be selected by Purchaser, and the third by agreement
of the two arbitrators selected by the parties.  The arbitration shall be held
in Atlanta, Georgia.  The arbitration proceedings, submissions and award shall
be in English.

          (b) The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any state or federal
court of competent subject matter jurisdiction, and hereby waive any defense
based on personal jurisdiction or venue, for all purposes in connection with the
arbitration, including (a) confirmation or vacating of the arbitration award;
(b) enforcement of the arbitration award; (c) issuance of provisional remedies
to protect rights, interests, assets or property and to ensure ultimate
satisfaction of the arbitration award, including but not limited to temporary or
preliminary injunctive relief.  The parties may, without inconsistency with this
agreement to arbitrate, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim
measures or provisional remedies pending the establishment of the arbitral
tribunal and until the arbitral tribunal's final award has been satisfied.  The
parties agree that the award made by the arbitrator shall be final and binding
on the parties, and they waive any right to appeal the arbitral award, to the
extent such an appeal may be lawfully waived.

     7.08  Severability. Should any term or provision of this Agreement be held
           ------------
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

     7.09  Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred by any of the specific
           ----------------------
provisions of this Agreement is intended to be, nor shall be, exclusive of any
other remedy available at law, in equity or otherwise.

     7.10  Counterparts and Interpretations. This Agreement may be executed in
           --------------------------------
any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but all of such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

                                     NOTE A

$4,162,000.00                                             Date: August 25, 2000

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TELECARE, INC., an Indiana corporation (the "Debtor"),
hereby promises to pay to the order of PREMIERE COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (hereafter,
together with any holder hereof, called "Holder") at the offices of the Holder
located at 3399 Peachtree Road, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30326, or at such other
place as the Holder may designate in writing to the Debtor, in lawful money of
the United States of America, and in immediately available funds, the principal
sum of FOUR MILLION ONE HUNDRED SIXTY TWO THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS
($4,162,000.00) together with interest on the principal balance from time to
time outstanding hereunder (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual
number of days elapsed) from the date hereof through November 25, 2000 at a per
annum rate equal to eight percent (8%) and thereafter until paid in full at a
per annum rate equal to ten percent (10%).

     Principal and accrued interest thereon shall be payable hereunder in one
balloon payment on February 25, 2001.  Interest shall accrue monthly and be
added to the principal balance hereunder on the first business day of each
calendar month until all principal and interest hereunder has been paid in full.
Interest shall accrue on any amount past due hereunder at a rate equal to five
percent (5%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable
hereunder.  All such interest shall be due and payable on demand.

     Notwithstanding any terms or provisions contained herein or elsewhere, in
no event shall the aggregate amount of Interest (as defined below) contracted
for, reserved, charged, collected, taken or received by the Holder pursuant to
this Note exceed the maximum amount permissible (the "Maximum Rate") under the
                                                      ------------
Usury Laws (as defined below).  Neither the exercise by the Holder of its rights
to accelerate the payment or the maturity of any indebtedness evidenced by this
Note, nor the prepayment by the Debtor of any of the indebtedness evidenced by
this Note, nor the occurrence of any other event or contingency whatsoever,
shall entitle the Holder to charge, collect or receive Interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate and in no event shall the Debtor be obligated to pay Interest
exceeding the Maximum Rate.  All agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any,
which may in any event or contingency operate to bind, obligate or compel the
Debtor to pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force
or effect, at law or in equity, but only to the extent of the excess of Interest
over such Maximum Rate.  If any Interest is contracted for, charged, collected,
taken or received in excess of the Maximum Rate ("Excess"), the Debtor
                                                  ------
acknowledges and agrees that any such obligation, charge, collection or receipt
shall be the result of a bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent
received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal hereof and the balance
of such Excess, if any, shall be returned to the Debtor; it being the express
intent of the Debtor and the Holder that the Debtor will not pay and the Holder
not receive, charge or collect, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of
the Maximum Rate.  By the execution of this Note, the Debtor covenants and
agrees that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the
acceptance by the Debtor of such Excess, and (ii) the Debtor shall not seek or
pursue (and hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law) any other
remedy, legal or equitable, against the Holder, based in whole or in part upon
contracting for, charging, collecting or receiving any Interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate.  For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been
contracted for, charged, collected or received by the Holder, all Interest at
any time contracted for, charged, collected or received from the Debtor in
connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall, to the extent
permitted by the Usury Laws, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in
equal parts throughout the full term of this
<PAGE>

Note. The Debtor and the Holder agree, to the maximum extent permitted under the
Usury Laws, to (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense rather
than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof.
For purposes hereof, the term "Interest" shall mean any and all interest, fees,
                               --------
premiums and other charges for the use of money or the extension of credit and
shall include any "interest" (or any amount or sum deemed to be "interest")
under and as defined in the Usury Laws; and the term "Usury Laws" shall mean any
                                                      ----------
applicable laws, statutes (including, without limitation, Title 7, Chapter 4 of
the Official Code of Georgia), rules, regulations or ordinances limiting,
governing or otherwise regulating the rate or amount of Interest or the manner
which Interest may be calculated, charged, collected, paid, contracted for or
disclosed.

     The Debtor, and the Holder by accepting this Note, each agree and stipulate
that the only charge imposed upon the Debtor for the use of money in connection
with this Note is and shall be the interest described in the first paragraph
hereof.

     Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under
this Note: (a) failure of the Debtor to pay any principal, interest or other
amount due hereunder when due, or the Debtor shall in any way fail to comply
with the other terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Note; (b) any
oral or written representation or warranty made at any time by the Debtor to the
Holder shall prove to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect
when made; (c) a default, event of default, or event which with the giving of
notice or the passage of time or both would constitute a default or event of
default, shall have occurred under any other document, instrument, contract or
agreement now or hereafter entered into by the Debtor and Holder or executed by
the Debtor in favor of the Holder, including that certain Contingent Note dated
the date hereof and made by the Debtor in favor of the Holder and any security
agreement, pledge agreement or other similar agreement securing the obligations
hereunder or thereunder, or the Debtor shall in any way fail to comply with the
terms, covenants or conditions contained in any such document, instrument,
contract or agreement; (d) a default, event of default, or event which with the
giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute a default or
event of default, shall have occurred under any document, instrument, contract
or agreement (i) evidencing or securing indebtedness of the Debtor for borrowed
money or (ii) material to the financial condition of the Debtor; (e) a final
judgment or order for the payment of money, or any final order granting
equitable relief, shall be entered against the Debtor and such judgment or order
has or will have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition of the
Debtor; (f) a warrant, writ of attachment, levy or other similar process shall
be issued against any property of the Debtor; (g) the Debtor shall (i) commence
a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended or other federal
bankruptcy law (as now or hereafter in effect); (ii) file a petition seeking to
take advantage of any other laws, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, winding up or composition for adjustment of debts;
(iii) consent to or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner any
petition filed against it in an involuntary case under such bankruptcy laws or
other laws; (iv) apply for or consent to, or fail to contest in a timely and
appropriate manner, the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a
receiver, custodian, trustee, or liquidator of itself or of a substantial part
of its property, domestic or foreign; (v) be unable to, or admit in writing its
inability to, pay its debts as they become due; (vi) make a general assignment
for the benefit of creditors; or (vii) make a conveyance fraudulent as to
creditors under any state or federal law; or (h) a case or other proceeding
shall be commenced against the Debtor in any court of competent jurisdiction
seeking (i) relief under the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended or other
federal bankruptcy law (as now or hereafter in effect) or under any other laws,
domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding
up or adjustment of debts or (ii) the appointment of a trustee, receiver,
custodian, liquidator or the like for the Debtor or all or any substantial part
of the assets, domestic or foreign, of the Debtor.

     Thirty (30) days after the Holder has notified the Debtor of the occurrence
of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (a),
(d), (g) or (h) of the definition thereof), if such Event of Default has not
been cured, any and all of the loans and the Debtor's other obligations
hereunder, at the option of the Holder, and without further demand or notice of
any kind, may be immediately declared, and thereupon shall immediately become in
default and due and payable and the Holder may exercise any and all rights and
remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.  Five (5) days after
the Holder has notified the Debtor of the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in clauses (a) or (d) of the definition of "Event of Default," if such
Event of Default has not been cured, any and all of the loans and the Debtor's
other obligations hereunder, at the option of the Holder, and without further
demand or notice of any kind, may be immediately declared, and thereupon shall
immediately become in default and due and payable and the Holder may exercise
any and all rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.
Immediately, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (g)
or (h) of the definition thereof, any and all of the loans and the Debtor's
other obligations hereunder, without demand or notice of any kind, shall
immediately become in default and due and payable and the Holder may exercise
any and all rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.

     The Debtor shall pay all expenses incurred by the Holder in the collection
of this Note (other than in connection with the scheduled payments of principal
and interest under this Note), including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel to the Holder, if this Note is collected by or
through an attorney-at-law.

     Time is of the essence of this Note.

     To secure the payment of this Note and, all other indebtedness or liability
of the Debtor to the Holder, however and whenever incurred or evidenced, whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or due or to become due, the Debtor
hereby grants to the Holder a security interest in, and collaterally assigns to
the Holder, all property of the Debtor of every kind and description now or
hereafter in the possession or control of the Holder for any reason.

     In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and
not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Debtor hereby authorizes the
Holder, at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Debtor or to any
other person or entity, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-
off and to appropriate and to apply any and all indebtedness at any time held or
owing by the Holder or any affiliate of the Holder, to or for the credit or the
account of the Debtor, against and on account of all obligations of the Debtor
owing hereunder or otherwise to the Holder, irrespective of whether or not the
Holder shall have declared any or all of such obligations of the Debtor to be
due and payable, and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

     THE DEBTOR AGREES THAT ALL OF ITS PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE
ABSOLUTE, UNCONDITIONAL AND, FOR THE PURPOSES OF MAKING PAYMENTS HEREUNDER, THE
DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-
CLAIM.

     FURTHER, THE DEBTOR WAIVES (I) ANY NOTICE OR HEARING PRIOR TO THE TAKING
POSSESSION OR CONTROL BY THE HOLDER OF ANY COLLATERAL GIVEN BY THE DEBTOR, (II)
THE POSTING OF ANY BOND OR SECURITY WHICH MIGHT BE REQUIRED BY ANY COURT PRIOR
TO ALLOWING THE HOLDER TO EXERCISE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES, INCLUDING THE
ISSUANCE OF AN IMMEDIATE WRIT OF

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

POSSESSION AND (III) THE BENEFIT OF ALL VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT AND EXEMPTION OF
LAWS.

     THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A
FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

     No delay or failure on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any right
or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise
by the Holder of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

     All amendments to this Note, and any waiver or consent of the Holder, must
be in writing and signed by the Holder and the Debtor.

     The Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protests
and all other notices whatever.

     THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

     This Note shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Debtor.

without notice to, or the consent of, the Debtor.  The Debtor may not assign any
of its obligations hereunder to any person or entity.

     Any notice to be given hereunder shall be in writing, shall be sent to the
Holder's address as specified in the first paragraph hereof or the Debtor's
addresses set forth below its signature hereto, as the case may be, and shall be
deemed received (i) on the earlier of the date of receipt or the date three
business days after deposit of such notice in the United States mail, if sent

                                CONTINGENT NOTE

                                                          Date:  August 25, 2000

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TELECARE, INC. (the "Debtor"), subject to the terms of
this Note, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of PREMIERE
COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (hereafter, together with any holder hereof, called
"Holder") at the offices of the Holder located at 3399 Peachtree Road, N.E.,
Atlanta, Georgia 30326, or at such other place as the Holder may designate in
writing to the Debtor, in lawful money of the United States of America, and in
immediately available funds, the Contingent Amount Due (as defined below) plus
the amount, if any, of the Brubaker Addition (as defined below), together with
interest on the principal balance from time to time outstanding hereunder
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual number of days elapsed) from
August 25, 2001 at a per annum rate equal to twelve percent (12%).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that prior to August 25, 2001 Debtor
pays to the order of Holder in immediately available funds the amount indicated
on Schedule A to this Contingent Note, then the Contingent Amount Due shall
   ----------
automatically be deemed to be the amount indicated on Schedule A to this
                                                      ----------
Contingent Note.

     For purposes of this Contingent Note, the term "Customer Contracts" shall
mean the contracts for retail calling card services between Premiere
Communications, Inc. ("Premiere") and each of its customers of such service who
were active during any portion of the three month period of April, May and June,
2000 (the "Customers").  For the purposes of this Contingent Note, the
"Contingent Amount Due" shall mean a variable amount between $0 and $2,390,000,
which amount shall be determined as follows:  (A) the variable amount shall be
$1,195,000 if on or before February 25, 2001 Holder has made all necessary
filings with, and received all necessary approvals, consents and authorizations
from, or has otherwise satisfied any notification requirements imposed by, any
and all applicable state governmental and regulatory authorities (collectively,
"Regulatory Filings and Approvals") necessary to allow Premiere to sell a
sufficient number of its Customer Contracts representing at least fifty percent
(50%) of the number of its customers to Debtor; (B) the variable amount shall be
$0 and this Contingent Note shall be null, void and of no further force or
effect if Holder has not made or obtained the Regulatory Filings and Approvals
necessary to allow Premiere to sell the number of the Customer Contracts
described in the foregoing clause (A); and (C) the variable amount shall
increase (up to an aggregate maximum of $2,390,000) by the product of (i) $24
multiplied by (ii) the number of Customer Contracts for which Holder, prior to
August 25, 2001, has made or obtained all Regulatory Filings and Approvals in
excess of 50% of the number of Customer Contracts; provided, however, a state
governmental and regulatory authority's approval, consent or authorization with
respect to Holder's sale of the Customer Contracts to Debtor in a state shall be
presumed for purposes of the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) if Holder cannot
make or obtain the Regulatory Filings or Approvals due in whole or significant
part to any of Debtor's prior, current or future acts, omissions or
non-compliance with any legal or regulatory requirements in such state.

     For purposes of this Contingent Note, the term "Brubaker Addition" means
the amount, if any, that Holder at its sole option and discretion pays to Craig
Brubaker ("Brubaker") upon the default of Debtor in its obligation to pay to
Brubaker $200,000 on the earlier of (i) one year after the date of this
Contingent Note or (ii) August 31, 2001 pursuant to Section 5.07 of that certain
Asset Sale Agreement dated as of the date of this Note by and between Debtor and
Premiere.
<PAGE>

     The principal balance shall be payable ON DEMAND on or after August 25,
2001.  Interest shall accrue monthly from and after August 25, 2001 and be added
to the principal balance hereunder on the first business day of each calendar
month until all principal and interest hereunder has been paid in full. All such
interest shall be due and payable on demand.

     Notwithstanding any terms or provisions contained herein or elsewhere, in
no event shall the aggregate amount of Interest (as defined below) contracted
for, reserved, charged, collected, taken or received by the Holder pursuant to
this Contingent Note exceed the maximum amount permissible (the "Maximum Rate")
                                                                 ------------
under the Usury Laws (as defined below).  Neither the exercise by the Holder of
its rights to accelerate the payment or the maturity of any indebtedness
evidenced by this Contingent Note, nor the prepayment by the Debtor of any of
the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, nor the occurrence of any other event
or contingency whatsoever, shall entitle the Holder to charge, collect or
receive Interest in excess of the Maximum Rate and in no event shall the Debtor
be obligated to pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate.  All agreements,
conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency
operate to bind, obligate or compel the Debtor to pay Interest exceeding the
Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, but
only to the extent of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate.  If any
Interest is contracted for, charged, collected, taken or received in excess of
the Maximum Rate ("Excess"), the Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any such
                   ------
obligation, charge, collection or receipt shall be the result of a bona fide
error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce
the principal hereof and the balance of such Excess, if any, shall be returned
to the Debtor; it being the express intent of the Debtor and the Holder that the
Debtor will not pay and the Holder not receive, charge or collect, directly or
indirectly, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate.  By the execution of this
Contingent Note, the Debtor covenants and agrees that (i) the credit or return
of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by the Debtor of such Excess, and
(ii) the Debtor shall not seek or pursue (and hereby waives to the fullest
extent permitted by law) any other remedy, legal or equitable, against the
Holder, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging, collecting or
receiving any Interest in excess of the Maximum Rate.  For the purpose of
determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged,
collected or received by the Holder, all Interest at any time contracted for,
charged, collected or received from the Debtor in connection with the
indebtedness evidenced by this Contingent Note shall, to the extent permitted by

characterize any non-principal payment as an expense rather than as Interest and
(ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof.  For purposes
hereof, the term "Interest" shall mean any and all interest, fees, premiums and

Official Code of Georgia), rules, regulations or ordinances limiting, governing
or otherwise regulating the rate or amount of Interest or the manner which
Interest may be calculated, charged, collected, paid, contracted for or
disclosed.

     The Debtor, and the Holder by accepting this Contingent Note, each agree
and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Debtor for the use of money
in connection with this Contingent Note is and shall be the interest described
in the first paragraph hereof.

     Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under
this Contingent Note: (a) failure of the Debtor to pay any principal, interest
or other amount due hereunder when due, or the Debtor shall in any way fail to
comply with the other terms, covenants or conditions

                                      -2-

warranty made at any time by the Debtor to the Holder shall prove to have been
incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made; (c) a default, event
of default, or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or
both would constitute a default or event of default, shall have occurred under
any other document, instrument, contract or agreement now or hereafter entered
into by the Debtor and Holder or executed by the Debtor in favor of the Holder,
including that certain Note A dated the date hereof and made by the Debtor in
favor of the Holder ("Note A") and any security agreement, pledge agreement or

material to the financial condition of the Debtor; (e) a final judgment or order
for the payment of money, or any final order granting equitable relief, shall be

materially adverse effect on the financial condition of the Debtor; (f) a
warrant, writ of attachment, levy or other similar process shall be issued
against any property of the Debtor; (g) the Debtor shall (i) commence a
voluntary case under the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended or other federal

up or adjustment of debts or (ii) the appointment of a trustee, receiver,
custodian, liquidator or the like for the Debtor or all or any substantial part
of the assets, domestic or foreign, of the Debtor.

     Thirty (30) days after the Holder has notified the Debtor of the occurrence
of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (a),
(d), (g) or (h) of the definition thereof), if such Event of Default has not
been cured, the Contingent Amount Due shall automatically mean $2,390,000
notwithstanding any other provision of this Contingent Note to the contrary,
which without further demand or notice of any kind thereupon shall immediately
become in default and due and payable and the Holder may exercise any and all
rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.  Five (5)
days after the Holder has notified the Debtor of the occurrence of an Event of
Default described in clauses (a) or (d) of the definition of "Event of Default,"
if such Event of Default has not been cured, the Contingent Amount Due shall
automatically mean $2,390,000 notwithstanding any other provision of this
Contingent Note to the contrary, which without further demand or notice of any
kind thereupon shall immediately become in default and due and payable and the
Holder may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it at law, in
equity or otherwise.  Immediately, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in clause (g) or (h) of the definition thereof, the Contingent Amount
Due shall automatically mean $2,390,000 notwithstanding any other provision of
this Contingent Note to the contrary, which without further demand or notice of
any

                                      -3-

kind thereupon shall immediately become in default and due and payable and the
Holder may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it at law, in
equity or otherwise.

     This Contingent Note shall be subordinated to any future debt that replaces
Note A, which subordination is subject to negotiation with the new lender and
Holder.

     The Debtor shall pay all expenses incurred by the Holder in the collection
of this Note (other than in connection with the scheduled payments of principal
and interest under this Contingent Note), including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Holder, if this Contingent
Note is collected by or through an attorney-at-law.

     Time is of the essence of this Contingent Note.

     To secure the payment of this Contingent Note and, all other indebtedness
or liability of the Debtor to the Holder, however and whenever incurred or
evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or due or to
become due, the Debtor hereby grants to the Holder a security interest in, and
collaterally assigns to the Holder, all property of the Debtor of every kind and
description now or hereafter in the possession or control of the Holder for any
reason.

     In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and
not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Debtor hereby authorizes the
Holder, at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Debtor or to any
other person or entity, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-
off and to appropriate and to apply any and all indebtedness at any time held or
owing by the Holder or any affiliate of the Holder, to or for the credit or the
account of the Debtor, against and on account of all obligations of the Debtor
owing hereunder or otherwise to the Holder, irrespective of whether or not the
Holder shall have declared any or all of such obligations of the Debtor to be
due and payable, and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

     THE DEBTOR AGREES THAT ALL OF ITS PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE
ABSOLUTE, UNCONDITIONAL AND, FOR THE PURPOSES OF MAKING PAYMENTS HEREUNDER, THE
DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-

     THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A
FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

     No delay or failure on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any right
or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise
by the Holder of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

                       AMENDMENT #2 TO CARRIER AGREEMENT

This Amendment #2 is entered into as of August __, 2000 (the "Effective Date")
to that certain Carrier Agreement between PREMIERE COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a
corporation under the laws of Florida ("Premiere"), and Telecare, Inc., a
corporation under the laws of Indiana ("Customer"), dated as of January 11,
1999, as amended, (the "Agreement").  In the event of any conflict between the
terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this
Amendment shall control.  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

                                   RECITALS:

Whereas, the parties entered into the Agreement; and

Whereas, the parties have entered into separate agreements wherein Customer is
purchasing certain assets related to Premiere's Retail Calling Card business.
In payment for such assets, Customer is issuing to Premiere, among other things,
a promissory note ("Note A").

Whereas, associated with the sale of assets described above, the parties entered
into a Management Services Agreement under which Premiere will manage certain
assets and business on behalf of Customer until Customer pays off Note A.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual obligations, premises and
undertakings set forth below, the parties agree as follows:

                                  AGREEMENT:

1.   Upon payment of Note A to Premiere by Customer, Customer shall begin buying
     from Premiere transmission and platform services for long-distance
     telephone calls (the "Services"). The rates for such services shall be
     based on the following formula: ((inbound cost per minute multiplied by
     1.20) + outbound cost) multiplied by 1.8085) + $0.015 per minute. Upon
     commencement of Customer's purchase of the Services, Premiere will provide
     Customer with a matrix detailing the rates per the formula above. At the
     beginning of each calendar month thereafter, the rates shall be adjusted
     based on Premiere's cost to buy the Services. Such rates are for platform
     and transmission charges only and do not include any taxes, payphone
     surcharges, USF or other add-on charges.

2.   Customer agrees to purchase the Services on a take-or-pay basis for three
     (3) calendar quarters commencing on the first calendar quarter following
     the payment of Note A. Such total commitment shall vary depending upon the
     when Note A is paid off by Customer. If Customer pays off Note A within
     ninety (90) days after it is issued (the "Issue Date"), then the total
     commitment shall be seven million dollars ($7,000,000). If Customer pays
     off Note A between ninety-one and one hundred eighty (91-180) days after
     the Issue Date, then the total commitment shall be six million dollars
     ($6,000,000). If Customer pays off Note A more than one hundred eighty
     (180+) days after the Issue Date, then the total commitment shall be five
     million dollars ($5,000,000).

3.   For the first (1/st/) calendar quarter of Customer's take-or-pay
     commitment, Customer shall purchase at least two million dollars
     ($2,000,000) worth of the Services. For the second (2/nd/) calendar quarter
     of Customer's take-or-pay commitment, Customer shall purchase at least two
     million dollars ($2,000,000) worth of the Services. For the third
     (3/rd/)calendar quarter of

<PAGE>

     Customer's take-or-pay commitment, Customer's commitment shall equal three,
     two or one million dollars ($3,000,000 or $2,000,000 or $1,000,000)
     depending upon when Note A is paid off as provided above.

4.   Customer shall pay for its actual usage of the Services on a monthly basis
     on thirty (30) day net terms, provided that payment for the final month of
     each calendar quarter shall include both actual usage for such month and
     the amount, if any, by which the aggregate payments for the calendar
     quarter are less than the minimum quarterly commitment for such quarter. If
     the call volume for any calendar quarter does not meet or exceed the
     minimum take-or-pay commitment for such quarter, Customer may roll over up
     to ten percent (10%) of that quarter's commitment to be added to the
     commitment for the next calendar quarter.

5.   After the expiration of the initial three calendar quarters and payment of
     all amounts due for usage and take-or-pay commitments, the rate for
     domestic calls shall be reduced to $0.090 per minute for domestic United
     States calls for the remainder of the term of the Agreement.

6.   If the Agreement is terminated or expires before Customer fulfills its
     obligations with regard to its take-or-pay commitment, then the terms of
     Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this Amendment #2 shall survive such termination
     or expiration and shall continue and remain in effect until Customer's
     obligations are fulfilled.

Except as described above, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.

Exhibit 1 is attached hereto and incorporated herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties executed this Amendment #2 as of the date first
set forth above.

                         MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

     THIS MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is executed as of
August 25, 2000, but with the parties express intention that this Agreement be
effective for tax and accounting purposes as of August 1, 2000, by and between
Telecare, Inc., an Indiana corporation ("Purchaser") and Premiere
Communications, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Premiere").

     WHEREAS, prior to the date hereof, Premiere owned and operated its retail
calling card business (the "Business"); and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Asset Sale Agreement by and among
Purchaser and Premiere dated August 25, 2000 (the "Sale Agreement"), Purchaser
has agreed to purchase, and Premiere has agreed to sell, substantially all of
the assets used exclusively in the Business (capitalized words not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Sale Agreement);
and

     WHEREAS, as a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into the Sale
Agreement, Premiere has agreed to provide certain services to Purchaser relating
exclusively to the Business on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein; and

     WHEREAS, Premiere and Purchaser recognize that Purchaser will need a period
of time to fully transfer the Business and to establish its own infrastructure
related to the Business (the "Transition Period") and that during the Transition
Period, Purchaser will need certain services to be provided by Premiere; and

     WHEREAS, Premiere and Purchaser have determined that the period of time
needed to fully transfer the Business should coincide with the term of Note A;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Sale Agreement, the mutual promises
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

     1.  Services.
         --------

          (a)  General.
               -------

          Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and subject to
     the payment of the fees set forth in Section 2(a) and solely in connection
     with the Business, Premiere shall provide to Purchaser the services that it
     had been providing for itself in the use of the Assets and the operation of
     the Business but only as and to the extent reflected in the revenue and
     expenses of the Business for the six months prior to the date of this
     Agreement (collectively, the "Services").  Unless otherwise agreed by the
     Managing Committee (as defined in Section 3), during the Term of this
     Agreement, Premiere shall
<PAGE>

     use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services (which
     Services shall be provided pursuant to Premiere's existing operating
     authority until such time as Premiere has obtained the consent or approval,
     or otherwise has complied with any applicable notice requirements, of all
     applicable federal or state governmental or regulatory authorities having
     jurisdiction with respect to the transfer of the Business) in the same
     manner and with the same level of care as Premiere performed such Services
     in the six months prior to the date of this Agreement. By way of
     illustration and not as an expansion of the Services, Premiere will provide
     Purchaser with general services of a financial, technical, commercial,
     administrative and advisory nature, including those services listed on
     Exhibit A hereto. The Services may be expanded beyond the definition of the
     ---------
     first sentence of this Section 1 only with the prior written consent of
     Premiere, which consent may be withheld for any reason in Premiere's sole
     and absolute discretion.

          (b)  Use of Assets.
               -------------

          In connection with the performance of the Services, Premiere shall
     have access to and the full and complete use of the Assets, including, but
     not limited to, the Databases, the Marketing Names, the Bloomington Assets
     and the Marketing Materials, solely so that it may fulfill its obligations
     under this Agreement.

          (c)  Contract Management.
               -------------------

          As an example of the Services and not in addition thereto, Premiere
     shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to manage, maintain, operate
     and perform on behalf of and for the benefit of Purchaser any
     responsibilities, duties and obligations of Purchaser as the assignee of
     the Contracts.  Premiere shall consult with Purchaser and keep Purchaser
     advised as to all material matters and decisions affecting the Contracts;
     and shall refrain from altering, modifying, amending, or waiving any terms
     or provisions of the Contracts without the prior written consent of Donald
     W. Roudebush ("Roudebush"), which consent shall not be withheld or delayed
     unreasonably, except in the reasonable and ordinary course of performing
     any duties and obligations with respect to the Contracts.

          Premiere shall have the authority to enter into and maintain in effect
     such contracts, licenses, agreements and other undertakings on behalf of
     Purchaser and in Purchaser's name as Premiere shall from time to time
     reasonably consider appropriate, provided, however, that Premiere shall not
     enter into any marketing contracts or any contracts that extend beyond the
     term of this Agreement, in either case without the prior written consent of
     Roudebush, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably.
     Premiere specifically acknowledges that, except as set forth in the
     preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Agreement, it is not authorized to,
     and shall not, sell, assign, materially breach, or default with respect to
     any Contract or part thereof, or commit any other action with respect to
     the Contracts that is contrary to the terms of this Agreement.

     2.   Costs of Services.
          -----------------

          (a)  Monthly Fees.
               ------------

               The monthly fees for the Services during the Term of this
     Agreement shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the cash receipts
     of the Business for each such month.  During the Term of this Agreement,
     Premiere shall pay all of the expenses relating to the operations of the
     Business out of its monthly fee for the Services.  Pursuant to Premiere's
     covenant in the preceding sentence, Premiere also (i) shall pay all
     accrued, but unpaid operating expenses of the Business that exist at the
     date of the termination of this Agreement and that were incurred in the
     ordinary course of business and (ii) shall pay all current liabilities for
     actual redemption arising out of the Call & Fly(R) program of the Business,
     so long as Telecare or Purchaser or any of their respective representatives
     or affiliates have not taken any action that, directly or indirectly, in
     whole or in part, increased the number or amount of such redemptions or the
     liability therefor.

          (b)  Purchaser Directed Expenditures.
               -------------------------------

               During the period covered by this Agreement, Purchaser may direct
     Premiere in the expenditure of up to ten percent (10%) of the cash receipts
     of the Business towards the following expenses:

               (i)   New customer acquisition costs, including sales and
               marketing activities relating directly and exclusively to the
               acquisition or generation of new customers ("New Customer
               Acquisition Costs") or costs relating to the marketing of
               additional services to existing customers of the Business;

               (ii)  Up to $50,000 of aggregate costs of Purchaser associated
               with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
               Sale Agreement, which shall include, without limitation, legal
               fees, but which costs shall not include any costs associated with
               investment bankers fees, costs or expenses or any other costs
               related, directly or indirectly, to obtaining the third party
               financing necessary to repay Note A and Note B; and

               (iii) Up to $200,000 of aggregate costs associated with the
               transition of the Business to Purchaser, provided that (with the
               sole exception of up to $10,000 a month to be paid to William
               Tucker or any other head of sales and marketing for Telecare)
               none of these transition costs may be allocated to or otherwise
               spent for existing personnel of Telecare or Purchaser.

          (c)  Marketing Incentive Payments.
               ----------------------------

               To motivate Purchaser to implement effective marketing programs
     and to compensate Purchaser for its successes, Premiere will pay to
     Purchaser, in cash, a marketing incentive fee equal to 20% of any amount by
     which the cash receipts of the

                                       3
<PAGE>

     Business exceed $9,400,000 during the Term of this Agreement. Conversely,
     if the cash receipts of the Business during the Term of this Agreement are
     less than $9,400,000, Purchaser will pay to Premiere, in cash, an amount
     equal to 20% of the difference between $9,400,000 and the actual revenues.
     Any payments required pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be made within
     thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement has expired.

          (d)  Purchaser's Right of Audit and Inspection.
               -----------------------------------------

               At any time during the Term of this Agreement and for sixty (60)
     days thereafter, Purchaser shall have the right, upon advance written
     notice to Premiere and at such reasonable times during normal business
     hours as Premiere may designate to Purchaser, (i) to inspect and copy, at
     Purchaser's expense, the books, records and tax returns of Premiere for the
     purpose of determining the accuracy of (a) Premiere's calculation of the
     cash receipts of the Business and (b) the management reports referred to in
     Section 4, and (ii) to have its independent auditors audit such amounts.
     In no event shall such inspection, copying or audit disrupt the normal
     operations of the Business.  If Purchaser should dispute Premiere's
     calculation of cash receipts of the Business based on any such inspection
     or audit, then Purchaser and Premiere shall submit such dispute to binding
     arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.  In no event shall
     Purchaser be entitled to inspect or audit the books and records of the
     Business more than once every three months during the Term of this
     Agreement.  All audits requested by Purchaser during the Term of this
     Agreement or for sixty (60) days thereafter, must be completed by the
     seventy-fifth (75) day following the termination of this Agreement.

     3.  Managing Committee
         ------------------

     During the Term of this Agreement, certain decisions affecting the
management of the Business will be made by a managing committee consisting of
three members (the "Managing Committee").

          (a)  Membership.
               ----------

          The initial three members of the Managing Committee shall be Daniel
     Mell, Donald Roudebush and Scott Trilling.  In the event that either Mr.
     Mell or Mr. Trilling become unable to serve on the Managing Committee,
     their successors will be chosen by Premiere, provided, however, that
     Premiere will not remove Mr. Mell or Mr. Trilling from the Managing
     Committee so long as they are employees of Premiere.  Should Mr. Roudebush
     become unable to serve on the Managing Committee, his successor will be
     chosen by Purchaser.  Except as provided above, each of Purchaser and
     Premiere shall be entitled at any time, and from time to time, and for any
     reason (or for no reason) to designate for removal its appointed member or
     members of the Managing Committee and to name a replacement for that member
     or members.  Prior to replacing any member or members of the Managing
     Committee, the party making the replacement shall provide the other party
     an opportunity to meet, interview and make comments with respect to the
     suitability of the

                                       4
<PAGE>

     person or persons sought to be replacement members of the Managing
     Committee. However, the selection of the replacement member or members
     shall ultimately be left to the discretion of the parties as described
     above.

          (b)  Managing Committee Decisions.
               ----------------------------

               (i)   Roudebush, or his successor, is entitled to direct the
               marketing efforts related to New Customer Acquisition Costs,
               subject to (a) the 10% limitation identified in Section 2(b) and
               (b) the authority of Premiere to veto all such marketing efforts
               that are not lawful.  All sales and marketing decisions relating
               to current customers must be approved by Roudebush.

               (ii)  Aside from the up to $10,000 a month to be paid to William
               Tucker or any other head of sales and marketing for Telecare
               pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) above, all expenditures on existing
               personnel of Purchaser or otherwise related to the Business must
               be approved by a unanimous vote of the Managing Committee.

               (iii) All decisions related to cost-cutting initiatives may be
               made at the sole discretion of Roudebush.

     4.  Reporting.  Premiere shall provide Purchaser with the management
         ---------
reports listed on Exhibit B at the frequency indicated on Exhibit B.
                  ---------                               ---------

     5.  Term.  This Agreement shall continue in force and effect, and Premiere
         ----
shall provide the Services hereunder, for the period from the date hereof until
the date on which Note A is fully paid and satisfied and, accordingly, no longer
outstanding (the "Term"). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Premiere, at
its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to terminate this
Agreement at the time of, or at any time after, an uncured default by Purchaser
under the Sale Agreement, this Agreement or Note A.

     6.  Liability and Indemnification.  Purchaser and Roudebush shall be liable
         -----------------------------
for their own acts and omissions, and those of their respective directors,
officers, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents and invitees, in
connection with this Agreement or otherwise, and shall indemnify and hold
harmless Premiere and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers,
employees, shareholders, representatives, agents and invitees, against any
claims, actions, compensatory damages, losses or liabilities arising from any
such acts or omissions. Premiere shall be liable for its own gross negligence
and its willful acts of misconduct in connection with this Agreement, and shall
indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its affiliates, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents shareholders, representatives, agents and

<PAGE>

     In no event shall either party be liable to the other party for indirect,
incidental, exemplary, special, punitive or consequential damages. Such damages
shall include but not be limited to lost income or profits.

     At Premiere's option, any amounts owed to Purchaser or Roudebush as a
result of this Section 6 may be offset against Note A or Note B.

     7.  Insurance.  As of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser has binding
         ---------
insurance policies ("Purchaser's Insurance") in place that provide insurance
coverage with respect to the Business and the Assets as evidenced by Purchaser's
certificates of insurance attached hereto as Exhibit C. Purchaser's Insurance
                                             ---------
names Premiere as an additional named insured. Purchaser shall maintain at all
times during the Term of this Agreement insurance policies with no lesser
coverage and otherwise no less favorable to the Business, the Assets, Purchaser
or Premiere than the coverage evidenced by Exhibit C. Purchaser acknowledges
                                           ---------
that all insurance carried by Purchaser is primary and non-contributory.

     8.  Force Majeure.  Any delays in or failure of performance by Premiere
         -------------
shall not constitute a default hereunder if and to the extent such delay or
failure of performance is caused by occurrences beyond the reasonable control of
Premiere, including, but not limited to, acts of God or the public enemy,
expropriation or confiscation of facilities, compliance with any order or
request of any governmental authority, acts of war; riots or strikes or other
concerted acts of personnel, or any causes, whether or not of the same class or
kind as those specifically named above, that are not within the reasonable
control of Premiere.

     9.  Confidentiality.  Any and all information which is not generally known
         ---------------
to the public which is exchanged between the parties in connection with this
Agreement, or which is directly or indirectly obtained by one party from the
other in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder, whether of a
technical or business nature, shall be considered to be confidential. The
parties agree that confidential information shall not be disclosed to any third
party or parties without the written consent of the other party. Each party
shall take reasonable measures to protect against, and shall be liable for,
disclosure of confidential information by its directors, officers, employees,
shareholders, representatives, agents and invitees. Confidential information
shall not include any information (i) which is or becomes part of the public
domain, (ii) which is obtained from third parties who are not bound by
confidentiality obligations or (iii) which is required to be disclosed by law,
regulation, legal process or the rules of any state or federal regulatory agency
or any national stock exchange or any national automated quotation system. It is
further understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient
remedy for any breach of this Section 10 and that the non-breaching party shall
be entitled to specific performance as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedy
shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for such breach but shall be in
addition to all other remedies available hereunder, at law or in equity, to the
non-breaching party. The provisions of this section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

     10.  Independent Contractor Status.  Premiere shall be deemed to be an
          -----------------------------
independent contractor to Purchaser and employees of Premiere shall at all times
be regarded as employees of

                                       6
<PAGE>

Premiere. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to
create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between
Purchaser and Premiere.

     11.  Arbitration.  Prior to submission to arbitration, the non-defaulting
          -----------
party shall have provided to the breaching or defaulting party thirty (30) days'
prior written notice of its breach or, or default under, the terms of this
Agreement during which thirty (30) days' the defaulting party shall have the
right to cure such breach or default and during which the parties will attempt
to resolve promptly and in good faith, any controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to this Agreement by negotiations between representatives of the
parties who have authority to settle the controversy.  The parties may agree to
use other alternative dispute resolution procedures, including mediation, mini-
trial, or other procedures involving a neutral advisor.  Within ten (10) days
after receipt of the written notice from the non-defaulting party, the receiving
party shall submit to the other a written response.  If the matter has not been
resolved within twenty (20) days of receipt of the disputing party's notice, or
if either party will not meet within ten (10) days of receipt of the disputing
party's notice, either party may initiate arbitration in accordance with the
terms of this Section 11 after the thirty (30) day period referred to in the
first sentence.

          (a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, in connection
with, or related to this Agreement or any modification, extension or breach
thereof, including any claim for damages or rescission, or both, not resolved by
the foregoing negotiation procedures shall be finally settled by binding
arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association, as in effect at the time of the initiation of
arbitration.  The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator mutually
agreed to by Premiere and Purchaser.  In the event that Premiere and Purchaser
cannot mutually agree on an arbitrator within 5 business days, then the
arbitration shall be held before a panel of three arbitrators, one to be
selected by Premiere, one to be selected by Purchaser, and the third by
agreement of the two arbitrators selected by the parties.  The arbitration shall
be held in Atlanta, Georgia.  The arbitration proceedings, submissions and award
shall be in English.  In the event that the dispute being arbitrated pursuant to
this Section 11 arises out of the calculation of the cash receipts of the
Business pursuant to Section 2(d), then the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be
qualified and experienced in matters relating to accounting.

          (b) The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any state or federal
court of competent subject matter jurisdiction, and hereby waive any defense
based on personal jurisdiction or venue, for all purposes in connection with the
arbitration, including (a) confirmation or vacating of the arbitration award;
(b) enforcement of the arbitration award; (c) issuance of provisional remedies
to protect rights, interests, assets or property and to ensure ultimate
satisfaction of the arbitration award, including but not limited to temporary or
preliminary injunctive relief.  The parties may, without inconsistency with this
agreement to arbitrate, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim
measures or provisional remedies pending the establishment of the arbitral
tribunal and until the arbitral tribunal's final award has been satisfied.  The
parties agree that the award made by the arbitrator shall be final and binding
on the parties, and they waive any right to appeal the arbitral award, to the
extent such an appeal may be lawfully waived.

                                   GUARANTY

     THIS GUARANTY dated as of August 25, 2000 executed and delivered by DONALD
W. ROUDEBUSH (the "Guarantor") in favor of PREMIERE COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (the
"Seller").

     WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Asset Sale Agreement dated as of August
25, 2000 (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or extended from
time to time, the "Agreement"; terms used herein and not defined herein have
their respective defined meanings as set forth in the Agreement) by and between
Telecare, Inc. (the "Purchaser") and the Seller, the Seller has made available
to the Purchaser certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions
set forth in the Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Guarantor owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of
the Purchaser;

     WHEREAS, the Guarantor will benefit, as a direct shareholder of the
Purchaser, from the consummation of the transactions under the Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Guarantor is therefore willing to guarantee the payment and
performance in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Purchaser (as
defined below); and

     WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Seller making such financial
accommodations to the Purchaser that the Guarantor execute and deliver this
Guaranty.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Guarantor, the Guarantor
agrees as follows:

     Section 1.  Guaranty.  The Guarantor hereby, irrevocably and

unconditionally, guarantees the due and punctual payment and performance when
due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the following
(the following collectively referred to as the "Guaranteed Obligations"): (a)
all obligations of the Purchaser under the Agreement and the documents and

foregoing.

     Section 2.  Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection.  This Guaranty is a
                 -----------------------------------------
guaranty of payment and performance, and not of collection, and a debt of the

or required before enforcing this Guaranty against the Guarantor: (a) to pursue
any right or remedy the Seller may have against the Purchaser or any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or commence any suit or other proceeding
against the Purchaser or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations in
any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or
bankruptcy of the Purchaser or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations; or (c) to make demand of the Purchaser or any other guarantor of
the Guaranteed Obligations or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any
collateral security held by the Seller which may secure any of the Guaranteed
Obligations.  In this connection, the Guarantor hereby waives the right of the
Guarantor to

require any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations to take action against the
Purchaser as provided in Official Code of Georgia Annotated (S)10-7-24.

     Section 3.  Guaranty Absolute.  The Guarantor guarantees that the
                 -----------------
Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the
documents evidencing the same, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or
hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the
rights of the Seller with respect thereto.  The liability of the Guarantor under
this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional in accordance with its terms
and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be
released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any
circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation, the
following (whether or not the Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):
(a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any
Guaranteed Obligations, or (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of

with respect to, the Agreement, the Notes, or any other document or instrument
evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or (iv) any renewal, extension, addition,
or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in
respect of, the Agreement, the Notes, or any other documents, instruments or
agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any other instrument or
agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations or any
assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing; (b) any lack of validity or
enforceability of the Agreement, the Notes, or any other document, instrument or
agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations or any
assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing; (c) any furnishing to the Seller
of any additional security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or any sale,
exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral security
for the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any settlement or compromise of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other
party with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any subordination of the
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the payment of any other liability of
the Purchaser; (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition,
adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to the
Guarantor or the Purchaser or any other person, or any action taken with respect
to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such
proceeding; (f) any application of sums paid by the Purchaser or any other
person with respect to the liabilities of the Purchaser to the Seller,
regardless of what liabilities of the Purchaser remain unpaid; (g) any defect,
limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Purchaser or in the
exercise thereof; (h) any act or failure to act by the Seller which may
adversely affect the Guarantor's subrogation rights, if any, against the
Purchaser to recover payments made under this Guaranty; or (i) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Guarantor.

     Section 4.  Action with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.  The Seller may,
                 ---------------------------------------------
at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Guarantor, and without discharging the Guarantor from its obligations hereunder
take any and all actions described in Section 3 above and may otherwise: (a)
amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of
payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or increasing, decreasing or
otherwise changing the interest rate or fees that may accrue on any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Agreement or
the Notes or any other document evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations; (c)
release any person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the

Seller shall elect.

     Section 5.  Waiver.  The Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
                 ------
hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or
notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any
extent might vary the risk of the Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to
discharge the Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

     Section 6.  Inability to Accelerate Loan.  If the Seller or the holder of
                 ----------------------------
any of the Guaranteed Obligations is prevented under applicable law or otherwise
from demanding or accelerating payment thereof by reason of any automatic stay
or otherwise, the Seller or such holder shall be entitled to receive from the
Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due
had such demand or acceleration occurred.

     Section 7.  Reinstatement of Guaranteed Obligations.  If claim is ever made
                 ---------------------------------------
upon the Seller for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in
payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Seller
repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order
of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Seller or any
of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected
by the Seller with any such claimant (including the Purchaser or a trustee in
bankruptcy for the Purchaser), then, and in such event, the Guarantor agrees
that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding
on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the
Agreement, the Notes, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the
Purchaser, and the Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Seller for the
amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never
originally been paid to the Seller.

     Section 8.  Waiver of Subrogation.  The Guarantor hereby forever waives and
                 ---------------------
releases any and all claims or causes of action the Guarantor may have against
the Purchaser or any other Loan Party or any other Person arising by reason of
any payment by the Guarantor to the Seller pursuant to this Guaranty, whether
such claim or cause of action arises by way of any common-law right of
subrogation, by way of any other applicable law or statutes, or by way of any
written or oral agreement between the Guarantor and the Purchaser.  This waiver
of subrogation is for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Seller and the
foregoing waiver may not be revoked by the Guarantor without the prior, written
consent of the Seller.

     Section 9.  Payments Free and Clear.  All sums payable by the Guarantor
                 -----------------------
hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or
otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any
deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any withholding tax or liability
imposed by any governmental agency or authority, wherever located, or any
statute, rule or regulation promulgated thereby), and in the event that the
Guarantor is required by such applicable law or by such governmental agency or
authority to make any such deduction or withholding, the Guarantor shall pay to
the Seller such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Seller of
the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred
or been required.

     Section 10. Subordination Of the Purchaser's Obligations To the Guarantor.
                 -------------------------------------------------------------
As an independent covenant, the Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees
for the benefit of the Seller that all obligations and liabilities owing by the
Purchaser to the Guarantor of whatsoever description ("Junior Claims") shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all obligations of the Purchaser
to the Seller under the terms of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents
("Senior Claims"). If a Default shall occur, then, unless and until such Default
shall have been cured, waived, or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or
indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) shall be
made by the Purchaser to the Guarantor on account of or in any manner in respect
of any Junior Claim and the Guarantor shall not receive or accept any such
direct or indirect payment.  In the event of a Proceeding (as hereinafter
defined), all Senior Claims shall first be paid in full before any direct or
indirect payment or distribution (in cash, property, securities by setoff or
otherwise) shall be made to the Guarantor on account

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim. For the purposes of the
previous sentence and the next Section, "Proceeding" means the Purchaser or the
Guarantor shall commence a voluntary case concerning itself under the Bankruptcy
Code of 1978, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code") or any other applicable
bankruptcy laws; or any involuntary case is commenced against the Purchaser or
the Guarantor; or a custodian (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code or any other
applicable bankruptcy laws) is appointed for, or takes charge of, all or any
substantial part of the property of the Purchaser or the Guarantor, or the
Purchaser or the Guarantor commences any other proceedings under any
reorganization arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtor, dissolution,
insolvency or liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction whether now or
hereafter in effect relating to the Purchaser or the Guarantor, or any such
proceeding is commenced against the Purchaser or the Guarantor, or the Purchaser
or the Guarantor is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; or any order of relief or
other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or the Purchaser
or the Guarantor suffers any appointment of any custodian or the like for it or
any substantial part of its property; or the Purchaser or the Guarantor makes a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the Purchaser or the
Guarantor shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall
be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; or the Purchaser or
the Guarantor shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a
composition or adjustment of its debts; or the Purchaser or the Guarantor shall
by any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or
acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or any corporate action shall be taken by
the Purchaser or the Guarantor for the purpose of effecting any of the
foregoing. In the event any direct or indirect payment or distribution is made
to the Guarantor in contravention of this Section 10, such payment or
distribution shall be deemed received in trust for the benefit of the Seller and
shall be immediately paid over to the Seller for application against the
Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

     Section 11. Automatic Acceleration in Certain Events.  In the event of a
                 ----------------------------------------
Proceeding, all Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically become immediately
due and payable by the Guarantor, without notice or other action on the part of
the Seller, and regardless of whether payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by
the Purchaser has then been accelerated.

     Section 12. Information.  The Guarantor assumes all responsibility for
                 -----------
being and keeping itself informed of the Purchaser's financial condition and
assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that
the Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Seller will not
have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to it or any of them
regarding such circumstances or risks.

     Section 13. Covenant.  Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been
                 --------
indefeasibly paid and performed in full, the Guarantor hereby covenants and
agrees with the Seller that Parent Guarantor shall not merge or consolidate with
any other person or sell, lease or transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a
substantial portion of its assets to any person or entity.

     Section 14. Governing Law.  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
                 -------------
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

     Section 15. Arbitration.
                 -----------

     (a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, in connection with,
or related to this Agreement or any modification, extension or breach thereof,
including any claim for damages or rescission, or both, not resolved by the
foregoing negotiation procedures shall be finally settled by binding arbitration
in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association, as in effect at the time of the initiation of arbitration.  The
arbitration shall be held before

                                     -4-
<PAGE>

one arbitrator mutually agreed to by Seller and Purchaser. In the event that
Seller and Purchaser cannot mutually agree on an arbitrator within 5 business
days, then the arbitration shall be held before a panel of three arbitrators,
one to be selected by Seller, one to be selected by Purchaser, and the third by
agreement of the two arbitrators selected by the parties. The arbitration shall
be held in Atlanta, Georgia. The arbitration proceedings, submissions and award
shall be in English.

     (b) The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court
of competent subject matter jurisdiction, and hereby waive any defense based on
personal jurisdiction or venue, for all purposes in connection with the
arbitration, including (a) confirmation or vacating of the arbitration award;
(b) enforcement of the arbitration award; (c) issuance of provisional remedies
to protect rights, interests, assets or property and to ensure ultimate
satisfaction of the arbitration award, including but not limited to temporary or
preliminary injunctive relief.  The parties may, without inconsistency with this
agreement to arbitrate, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim
measures or provisional remedies pending the establishment of the arbitral
tribunal and until the arbitral tribunal's final award has been satisfied.  The
parties agree that the award made by the arbitrator shall be final and binding
on the parties, and they waive any right to appeal the arbitral award, to the
extent such an appeal may be lawfully waived.

     Section 16. Loan Accounts.  The Seller may maintain books and accounts
                 -------------
setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and in the case of any dispute
relating to any Guaranteed Obligation, the entries in such account shall be
binding upon the Guarantor as to the outstanding amount of such Guaranteed
Obligations and the amounts paid and payable with respect thereto absent
manifest error.  The failure of the Seller to maintain such books and accounts
shall not in any way relieve or discharge the Guarantor of any of its
obligations hereunder.

     Section 17. Waiver of Remedies.  No delay or failure on the part of the
                 ------------------
Seller in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against the Guarantor
hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or
partial exercise by the Seller of any such right or remedy shall preclude other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

     Section 18. Waiver of Exemptions.  To the fullest extent permitted by law,
                 --------------------
the Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to claim any and all homestead and
other exemptions allowed by the Constitution or laws of the United States of
America, the State of Indiana or any other state or district of the United
States of America.

     Section 19. Successors and Assigns.  Each reference herein to the Seller
                 ----------------------
shall be deemed to include the Seller's successors and assigns (including, but
not limited to, any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations) in whose favor the
provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to the
Guarantor shall be deemed to include the Guarantor's executors, administrators,
successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding.  The
Seller may assign, transfer or sell any Guaranteed Obligation to any person or
entity without the consent of, or notice to, the Guarantor and without
releasing, discharging or modifying the Guarantor's obligations hereunder.  The
Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Seller to any assignee or
transferee of any financial or other information regarding the Purchaser or the
Guarantor.  The Guarantor not may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder
to any person or entity.
