                       SEPARATION AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT

               This Separation and Consulting Agreement ("Agreement") is entered
into effective as of March 31, 2002, by and between W. Thomas Gimple ("Gimple")
and Tickets.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with regard to
the following:

                                 R E C I T A L S

               A. Until December 18, 2001, Gimple was employed as the Company's
Chief Executive Officer. On December 18, 2001, by mutual agreement of Gimple and
the Company, Gimple stepped down as Chief Executive Officer but has continued as
a full-time employee of the Company.

               B. Gimple and the Company are parties to an Employment Agreement
dated effective as of April 29, 1999 ("Employment Agreement"), a Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement dated January 26, 1998 ("Inventions
Agreement") and an Indemnification Agreement dated February 5, 1998
("Indemnification Agreement").

               C. Gimple has been granted options to acquire a total of 384,861
shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Stock Options"), as set forth on
Schedule I hereto.

               D. The Company and Gimple have agreed that Gimple will
voluntarily resign from his employment with the Company effective March 31,
2002.

               E. In connection with Gimple's separation from the Company, the
Company and Gimple have agreed to the releases, services, payments and benefits
set forth herein.

               F. Gimple is hereby informed that he has twenty-one (21) days
from receipt of this Agreement to consider it. The Company hereby advises Gimple
to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement.

               G. Gimple acknowledges that for a period of seven (7) days
following his signing this Agreement (the "Revocation Period"), he may revoke
the Agreement. This Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until
the Revocation Period has expired.

               Therefore, in consideration of the premises recited above, the
mutual exchange of promises contained in this Agreement and other valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by the
Company and Gimple, the parties agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

               1. Resignation. Gimple hereby voluntarily resigns from his
employment with the Company effective March 31, 2002.

<PAGE>

               2. Payment and Benefits.

                  2.1 Salary. The Company agrees to continue to pay Gimple his
regular base salary as set forth in the Employment Agreement through and
including June 30, 2003, on the Company's regular payroll dates. Such payments
shall be after applicable deductions and withholdings.

                  2.2 Insurance. The Company agrees to continue to pay the
premiums on Gimple's Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance plans, up to a maximum
premium of $8,500 per year, for the coverage period through and including June
30, 2003.

                  2.3 Gimple Consulting. During the period from March 31, 2002
through June 30, 2003, Gimple agrees to make himself available on an
as-requested basis to the Company's officers, directors, employees and agents
for up to one-quarter of his business time to consult with the Company on such
matters as the Company shall reasonably request, provided that such requests for
consultation shall be made with reasonable advance notice. In exchange for such
consulting services, the Company shall pay Gimple the sum of $100,000, payable
in equal installments on each of the Company's regular payroll dates through
June 30, 2003, and modify his Stock Options as provided in Section 2.4 below.
Gimple shall have no authority to act on behalf of the Company, to bind the
Company, or to commit the Company financially or to obligate the Company in any
way unless such authority is specifically delegated to Gimple by the Company in
writing. Gimple shall not make any representations to the contrary to any person
or entity. In consideration of such payment and the modification of his Stock
Options, Gimple agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, during the term
of his consultancy with the Company hereunder, engage or invest in, own, manage,
operate, finance, control or participate in the ownership, management,
operation, financing or control of, be employed by, associated with, or in any
manner connected with, or lend his name or any similar name to, any business
whose products or activities compete with the Company's ticketing products or
services.

                  2.4 Stock Options. During the period from March 31, 2002
through June 30, 2003, the Stock Options shall continue to vest in accordance
with their terms as if Gimple had continued as an employee of the Company during
such period. On June 30, 2003, provided that Gimple has reasonably satisfied all
of his duties and obligations under this Agreement, all of the Stock Options
then outstanding shall vest and all such vested Stock Options shall remain
exercisable until June 30, 2004, unless earlier terminated pursuant to their
terms as a result of a corporate transaction, and shall then expire and be of no
further force or effect.

                  2.5 Accrued Vacation. On March 31, 2002, upon his resignation,
Gimple will be issued a check by the Company in the amount of $21,154, less
applicable withholdings, for his 160 hours of accrued vacation. All other
accrued vacation will have been used by Gimple prior to March 31, 2002.

               3. Waiver of Rights Under Employment Agreement; No Other
Benefits. Except for the continuing obligations of Gimple under Sections 3.1,
3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7 and 5.8 of the Employment Agreement and under the
Inventions Agreement, which Gimple hereby reaffirms, the parties agree that the
Employment Agreement is terminated in its entirety as of

                                       2
<PAGE>

March 31, 2002, and Gimple expressly waives any notice periods for termination
or resignation under the Employment Agreement. Gimple agrees that he is not
entitled to receive, and will not claim, any damages, profits, compensation,
bonuses, benefits, vacation, stock options or rights other than (i) what is
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement and (ii)
salary accrued through March 31, 2002. Gimple acknowledges that the
consideration he is receiving under this Agreement is in lieu of, and he hereby
waives any other rights he may have had under, the Employment Agreement, and any
other agreements, express or implied, he may have had with the Company except
for the Indemnification Agreement and any agreements or resolutions adopted by
the Company's Board of Directors providing rights of indemnification to officers
and directors of the Company that were in effect during the term of Gimple's
employment. This Agreement supersedes all rights and/or benefits Gimple may have
or claim arising out of the Employment Agreement.

               4. Return of Company Property; Expenses.

                  4.1 Prior to the end of his consulting period, Gimple shall
return to the Company all Company property and equipment in his possession or
under his control, including, but not limited to, any cell phones, computers and
pagers.

                  4.2 On or before March 31, 2002, Gimple must submit to the
Company all outstanding business expenses incurred prior to March 31, 2002 for
reconciliation and payment. Reimbursement of such business expenses will be made
by April 15, 2002. Expenses submitted thereafter will not be reimbursed, unless
approved in advance by the Company in connection with the Gimple's consulting
services hereunder.

               5. Releases.

                  5.1 General Release by Gimple. Excepting only the obligations
undertaken by the Company in accordance with this Agreement, the Stock Options
as amended hereby, and the Indemnification Agreement, and except for any
obligation to indemnify Gimple pursuant to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws as in effect as of the date hereof, which obligations
shall not be released or, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement,
altered or amended in any way by this Agreement, and in exchange for the
consideration provided to Gimple in this Agreement, Gimple hereby releases,
acquits, relieves and forever discharges the Company and its successors, heirs,
assigns, employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives, stockholders,
attorneys, affiliated corporations, divisions or organizations, whether
previously or hereinafter affiliated in any manner (collectively, the "Company
Released Parties"), from any and all claims, rights, actions, complaints,
demands, causes of actions, wage claims, obligations, promises, contracts,
agreements, controversies, suits, debts, expenses, damages, attorneys' fees,
costs and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, matured or unmatured, fixed or
contingent, which Gimple ever had, now has, or may claim to have from the
beginning of time to the moment he signs this Agreement against the Company
Released Parties (whether directly or indirectly), or any of them, by reason of
any act, event or omission concerning any matter, cause or thing, including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims related to or
arising out of (i) Gimple's employment with the Company or the cessation of that
employment; (ii) any common law torts, including, without limitation, infliction
of emotional distress; (iii) any federal, state or governmental constitution,
statute, regulation or

                                       3
<PAGE>

ordinance, including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, the California Labor Code, the California Fair Employment and
Housing Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Wage, Pay
and Collection Act of the State of Delaware, and any other federal, state or
local employment practice legislation; (iv) any agreement, express or implied,
between Gimple and any of the Company Released Parties; (v) any impairment of
his ability to compete in the open labor market; or (vi) any permanent or
temporary disability or loss of future earnings as a result of injury or
disability arising from or associated with his employment or termination of his
employment relationship with the Company.

                  5.2 Gimple's Release of Unknown Claims. Gimple hereby waives
and relinquishes all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil
Code of California. Gimple hereby acknowledges that he understands the
significance and consequences of this specific waiver of Section 1542. Section
1542 of the Civil Code of California states as follows:

               A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
               does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
               executing the release, which if known by him must have materially
               affected his settlement with the debtor.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of
implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Company Released
Parties (except as provided in Section 5.1, above), Gimple expressly
acknowledges that the release contained in this Agreement is intended to include
in its effect, without limitation, all claims covered by the release set forth
in Section 5.1 above which Gimple does not know or suspect to exist in his
favor.

                  5.3 Gimple's Covenant To Forebear. Gimple further agrees not
to institute, maintain or aid any action at law or in equity or any legal
proceeding whatsoever against any or all of the Company Released Parties (as
defined in Section 5.1, above), which is based on, in whole or in part, or which
arises out of, or is connected with, the claims hereby released.

                  5.4 Gimple's Representation and Warranty Regarding Assignment
of Claims. Gimple represents and warrants that he has not assigned any claims
made the subject of Section 5.1 of this Agreement or authorized any other person
or entity to assert any such claim on behalf of him. Further, Gimple agrees that
by the releases contained in this Section 5.1 he waives any claim for damages
incurred at any time after the date on which he signs this Agreement because of
alleged continuing effects of any alleged acts or omissions involving the
Company that occurred on or before the date on which he signs this Agreement,
and any right to sue for monetary or injunctive relief against the alleged
continuing effects of acts or omissions that occurred before the date on which
he signs this Agreement.

               6. No Employment Rights. Gimple acknowledges that effective as of
March 31, 2002, he will no longer be an employee of the Company for any purpose.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to continue, create or imply any
contract of employment between Gimple and the Company.

<PAGE>

               7. Assistance/Cooperation With Litigation. In connection with the
Company's participation in current or future litigation relating to events which
occurred during Gimple's employment or about which Gimple has information,
Gimple agrees to cooperate fully and devote such time as may be reasonably
required in the preparation, prosecution or defense of the Company's case or
cases, including, but not limited to, the execution of truthful declarations or
providing information and/or documents requested by the Company. The Company
shall reimburse Gimple, promptly upon receipt of satisfactory evidence thereof,
for all reasonable expenses (not including any amount for Gimple's time)
incurred by Gimple in connection with such assistance and/or cooperation with
the Company with respect to such litigation.

               8. No Admission. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the fact
that the parties have signed this Agreement shall be considered an admission of
any liability whatsoever.

               9. Confidentiality.

                  9.1 As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this
Agreement and as an indivisible part of the consideration to be received for
entering into this Agreement and for the performance of obligations under this
Agreement by each party to this Agreement, Gimple agrees that he will not
disclose, disseminate and/or publicize and cause or permit to be disclosed,
disseminated and/or publicized, any of the specific terms of this Agreement, any
claims or allegations or the basis for any claims or allegations, which were or
could have been made against the Company, or any of its officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, representatives, agents, attorneys or affiliated
companies, which concern and are within the scope of this Agreement, directly or
indirectly, specifically or generally, to any person, corporation, association,
governmental agency or other entity except: (a) to the extent necessary to
report income to appropriate taxing authorities; (b) in response to an order of
a court of competent jurisdiction or a subpoena issued under the authority
thereof; (c) in response to any subpoena issued by a state or federal
governmental agency; or (d) as otherwise required by law.

                  9.2 Gimple further warrants and agrees that he will limit his
comments about his separation from the employment of the Company to the fact
that his situation has been resolved satisfactorily and that he has moved on to
other professional opportunities. Gimple shall not disseminate orally or in
writing any comments which are in any way disparaging to the Company or to the
Company's business, owners, officers, agents, representatives or employees.

               10. Fees and Costs. Gimple and the Company agree that in the
event of litigation relating to a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to its attorneys' fees and costs.

               11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, and all the terms and
provisions hereof, shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns.

               12. Waiver. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provision, whether
or not similar. No waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver shall
be binding unless executed in writing by the party charged with the waiver.

                                       5
<PAGE>

               13. Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement
shall finally be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful,
such provision shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement and every other
provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If, moreover,
any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any
reason be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad, it
shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the
extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.

               14. Legal Representation. The parties acknowledge that they have
had the opportunity to receive the advice of independent legal counsel prior to
the execution of this Agreement and the opportunity to receive an explanation
from legal counsel of the legal nature and affect of the Agreement, and each
party has fully exercised that opportunity to the extent desired and understands
the terms and provisions of this Agreement and its nature and affect. Each party
further represents that it is entering into this Agreement freely and
voluntarily, and not relying on the representations of any other party or of the
counsel of any other party. Each party expressly agrees that this Agreement
shall not be construed or interpreted for or against the party drafting the
Agreement.

               15. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications under this Agreement must be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given (i) on the date of service if served personally on the
party to whom notice is to be given; (ii) on the second business day following
delivery to a courier or messenger service guaranteeing overnight delivery;
(iii) on the date of confirmation of receipt if sent by telecopy or telex; and
(iv) on the date of receipt or refusal indicated on the return receipt if mailed

        the Closing Date through the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, each
        relevant Lender severally agrees to make Advances ("Revolving Advances")

        request provided that, after giving effect to such Advances, (i)
        Revolving Credit Facility Usage does not exceed the Maximum Revolving
        Credit Amount and (ii) as to each relevant Lender, such Lender's Pro
        Rata Share of Revolving Credit Facility Usage does not exceed such

        in effect from time to time and subject to the foregoing, Borrower may
        borrow under this Section 2.1(a), prepay Revolving Advances pursuant to
        Section 3.1 and reborrow under this Section 2.1(a).

                       (b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this

        to all Lenders, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $26,000,000. All
        Term Advances shall be made by the Lenders ratably according to their

        made pursuant to a Request for Borrowing which shall specify (i) the
        date of such requested Borrowing, (ii) the Facility under which such
        Borrowing is to be made, (iii) the Type of Advances comprising such
        Borrowing, (iv) the amount of such Borrowing, and (v) in the case of a
        Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Eurodollar Period

        absolute discretion, Borrower to the contrary not less than three (3)
        days prior to the date of any Borrowing, a Borrowing may be requested by

        shall confirm such request by promptly delivering a Request for
        Borrowing (conforming to the preceding sentence) in person or by
        telecopier to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
        incur no liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any telephonic
        request for a Borrowing purportedly made by a Responsible Official of
        Borrower, and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative

                       (d) Promptly following receipt of a Request for
        Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by
        telephone or telecopier (and if by telephone, promptly confirmed by
        telecopier) of the date of the requested Borrowing, the Facility under
        which such Borrowing is to be made, the Type of Advances comprising such
        Borrowing, the Eurodollar Period (if applicable), and the amount
        corresponding to that Lender's ratable share of the Borrowing. Not later
        than 1:00 p.m., California time, on the date specified for any Borrowing
        (which must be a Banking Day), each Lender shall make its ratable share
        of the Borrowing in immediately available funds available to the
        Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office. Upon
        satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article
        8, all Advances shall be credited on that date in immediately available
        funds to the Designated Deposit Account.

                       (e) Anything in paragraph (c) above to the contrary
        notwithstanding, Borrower may not (a) request Alternate Base Rate
        Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is
        less than $100,000 (and any such Borrowing exceeding such minimum amount
        shall be in an integral multiple of $50,000), provided that the
        foregoing minimum amount shall not apply to an Alternate Base Rate
        Advance that causes the aggregate amount borrowed under any Facility to
        equal the full amount available for Advances thereunder, or (b) elect
        Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing (i) if the aggregate amount
        of such Borrowing is less than $1,000,000 (and any such Borrowing
        exceeding such minimum amount shall be in an integral multiple of
        $250,000) or (ii) if the obligation of the relevant Lenders to make
        Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section
        2.4, 3.5 or 3.6.

                       (f) The Advances made by each Lender under its Revolving
        Commitment shall be evidenced by that Lender's Revolving Note. The
        Advances made by each Lender under its Term Commitment shall be
        evidenced by that Lender's Term Note.

                       (g) A Request for Borrowing shall be irrevocable upon the
        Administrative Agent's first notification thereof.

                       (h) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders,
        is hereby authorized to make Borrowings available to Borrower upon
        fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 8, and, if
        applicable, Section 2.1(d). Upon fulfillment of such applicable
        conditions, the proceeds of Borrowings shall either be credited in
        immediately available funds to the Designated Deposit Account or
        remitted directly to one or more third parties, as directed by Borrower
        and approved by the Administrative Agent. The proceeds of any Borrowing
        consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be so credited or remitted
        on the first day of the applicable Eurodollar Period for such
        Borrowings.

               2.2 Alternate Base Rate Advances. Each request by Borrower for a
Borrowing comprised of Alternate Base Rate Advances shall be made pursuant to a
Request

                                      -33-

second sentence of Section 2.1(c), if applicable) received by the Administrative
Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office, not later than 9:00 a.m. California
time, on the date of the requested Borrowing, provided such date is a Banking

               2.3 Eurodollar Rate Advances.

                       (a) Each request by Borrower for a Borrowing comprised of
        Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be made pursuant to a Request for
        Borrowing (or telephonic or other request for Borrowing referred to in
        the second sentence of Section 2.1(c), if applicable) received by the

        than 9:00 a.m., California time, at least three (3) Eurodollar Banking
        Days before the first day of the applicable Eurodollar Period.

                       (b) On the date which is two (2) Eurodollar Banking Days
        before the first day of the applicable Eurodollar Period, the
        Administrative Agent shall confirm its determination of the applicable
        Eurodollar Rate (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence
        of manifest error) and promptly shall give notice of the same to
        Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopier (and if by
        telephone, promptly confirmed by telecopier).

                       (c) Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite
        Lenders otherwise consent, Eurodollar Rate Advances may not be
        outstanding under more than the (10) separate Eurodollar Periods (with
        respect to all of the Facilities) at any one time.

                       (d) No Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances
        may be requested during the continuation of a Default or Event of
        Default.

                       (e) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to
        fund any Eurodollar Rate Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market.

               2.4 Conversion and Continuation of Advances.

                       (a) Optional Conversion. Borrower may on any Banking Day,
upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m.
(California time) on the third Eurodollar Banking Day prior to the date of a
proposed Conversion if the Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, or one
Banking Day prior to the date of a proposed Conversion if the Conversion is into
Alternate Base Rate Advances, and subject to the provisions of Sections 3.5 and
3.6, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type outstanding under a
Facility (and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, having the same
Eurodollar Period) into Advances of the other Type under such Facility; provided
that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Alternate Base Rate
Advances on other than the last day of a Eurodollar Period for such Eurodollar
Rate Advances shall be subject to

                                      -34-

<PAGE>
Section 3.6(e), any Conversion of Alternate Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar
Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or integral
multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof and no Conversion of any Advances shall
result in more than ten (10) separate Eurodollar Periods being outstanding under
all of the Facilities. Each such notice of Conversion shall be made pursuant to
a Request for Continuation/Conversion and shall, within the restrictions
specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the aggregate
amount, Type and category of the Advances (and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, the Eurodollar Period therefor) to be Converted and (iii) if such
Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial
Eurodollar Period for such Advances. Each request for Conversion shall be
irrevocable and binding on Borrower.

                       (b) Certain Mandatory Conversions.

                               (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid
                       principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising
                       any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment
                       or otherwise, to less than $1,000,000 such Advances shall
                       automatically Convert into Alternate Base Rate Advances.

                               (ii) If Borrower shall fail to select the
                       duration of any Eurodollar Period for any outstanding
                       Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the
                       provisions contained in Section 2.1(c) and in clause (a)
                       or (c) of this Section 2.4, each such Eurodollar Rate
                       Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then
                       existing Eurodollar Period therefor, Convert into an
                       Alternate Base Rate Advance.

                               (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the
                       continuance of any Event of Default and upon notice from
                       the Administrative Agent to Borrower at the request of
                       the Requisite Lenders, (x) each Eurodollar Rate Advance
                       will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
                       Eurodollar Period therefor, Convert into an Alternate
                       Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders
                       to make, or to Convert Advances into, or to Continue,
                       Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

               (c) Continuations. Borrower may, on any Eurodollar Banking Day,
upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m.
(California time) on the third Eurodollar Banking Day prior to the date of the
proposed Continuation and subject to the provisions of Sections 3.5 and 3.6,
Continue all or any portion of the Eurodollar Rate Advances outstanding under a
Facility having the same Eurodollar Period; provided that any such Continuation
shall be made only on the last day of a Eurodollar Period for such Eurodollar
Rate Advances, no Continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount
less than $1,000,000 and no Continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Advances shall
result in more than ten (10) separate Eurodollar Periods being outstanding under
all of the Facilities. Each such notice of Continuation shall be made pursuant

specified above, specify (i) the date of such Continuation, (ii) the aggregate
amount and category of, and the Eurodollar Period for, the Advances being

the Eurodollar Rate Advances subject to such Continuation. Each notice of
Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower.

               2.5 Letters of Credit.

                       (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any
        time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the Revolving
        Facility Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of
        Credit under the Revolving Facility as Borrower may request by a Request
        for Letter of Credit; provided that giving effect to all such Letters of
        Credit, (i) Revolving Credit Facility Usage does not exceed the Maximum
        Revolving Credit Amount, (ii) the Aggregate Effective Amount under all
        outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed $5,000,000, and (iii) as
        to each relevant Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of Revolving
        Credit Facility Usage does not exceed such Lender's Revolving
        Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall be in a form reasonably
        acceptable to the Issuing Lender. Unless the Issuing Lender and the
        Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, neither the term of any Commercial
        Letter of Credit nor the term of any Standby Letter of Credit shall
        exceed 365 days. Unless all the Lenders otherwise consent in a writing
        delivered to the Administrative Agent, the term of any Letter of Credit
        shall not extend beyond the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. A Request
        for Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable absent the consent of the
        Issuing Lender.

                       (b) Each Request for Letter of Credit shall be submitted
        to the Issuing Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at least
        three (3) Banking Days prior to the date upon which the related Letter
        of Credit is proposed to be issued. The Administrative Agent shall
        promptly notify the Issuing Lender whether such request, and the
        issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant thereto, conforms to the
        requirements of this Agreement. Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, the
        Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the
        amount and terms thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has notified, in its
        sole and absolute discretion, Borrower to the contrary not less than
        three (3) days prior to the date of any Request for Letter of Credit, a
        Request for Letter of Credit may be delivered to the Issuing Lender by
        facsimile by a Responsible Official of Borrower, in which case Borrower
        shall confirm such request by promptly delivering a Request for Letter
        of Credit (conforming to the preceding sentence) in person to the
        Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender shall incur no liability whatsoever
        hereunder in acting upon any Request for Letter of Credit received by
        facsimile purportedly made by a Responsible Official of Borrower, and
        Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Issuing Lender from any loss,
        cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting.

                       (c) Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender
        shall be deemed to have purchased a pro rata participation in such
        Letter of Credit from the Issuing Lender in proportion to that Lender's
        Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Facility. Without limiting the scope and
        nature of each Lender's participation in any Letter of Credit, to the
        extent that the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed by Borrower for
        any payment required to be made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter
        of Credit,

                                      -36-

<PAGE>
        each Lender shall, pro rata according to its Pro Rata Share of the
        Revolving Facility, reimburse the Issuing Lender through the
        Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for the amount of such
        payment. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the Issuing
        Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
        the occurrence of an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event.
        Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the
        obligation of Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of
        any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit
        together with interest as hereinafter provided.

                       (d) Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender through
        the Administrative Agent an amount equal to any payment made by the
        Issuing Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit within one (1)
        Banking Day after demand made by the Issuing Lender therefor, together
        with interest on such amount from the date of any payment made by the
        Issuing Lender at the rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Advances
        under the Revolving Facility for the period commencing on the date of
        any such payment and continuing through the first Banking Day following
        such demand and thereafter at the Default Rate. The principal amount of
        any such payment shall be used to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the
        payment made by it under the Letter of Credit. Each Lender that has
        reimbursed the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(c) for its Pro
        Rata Share of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of
        Credit shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent
        of such reimbursement, in the claim of the Issuing Lender against
        Borrower under this Section 2.5(d) and shall share, in accordance with
        that pro rata participation, in any payment made by Borrower with
        respect to such claim. Upon receipt of any such reimbursement from
        Borrower, the Issuing Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
        the ratable benefit of those Lenders that had reimbursed the Issuing
        Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(c) for their respective Pro Rata Shares
        of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to
        which such reimbursement applies, the amount of such reimbursement.

                       (e) Borrower may, pursuant to a Request for Borrowing,
        request that Advances be made pursuant to Section 2.1(a) to provide
        funds for the payment required by Section 2.5(d). The proceeds of such
        Advances shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender to reimburse it
        for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit.

                       (f) If Borrower fails to make the payment required by
        Section 2.5(d) within the time period therein set forth, in lieu of the
        reimbursement to the Issuing Lender under Section 2.5(c) the Issuing
        Lender may (but is not required to), without notice to or the consent of
        Borrower, instruct the Administrative Agent to cause Revolving Advances
        to be made by the Lenders under the Revolving Facility in an aggregate
        amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuing Lender with respect to
        that Letter of Credit and, for this purpose, the conditions precedent
        set forth in Article 8 shall not apply. The proceeds of such Advances
        shall be paid to the Issuing Lender to reimburse it for the payment made
        by it under the Letter of Credit.

                                      -37-

<PAGE>
                       (g) The issuance of any supplement, modification,
        amendment, renewal, or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be
        treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of
        Credit.

                       (h) The obligation of Borrower to pay to the Issuing
        Lender the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any
        Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable,
        subject only to performance by the Issuing Lender of its obligations to
        Borrower under Section 5108 of the UCC. Without limiting the foregoing,
        Borrower's obligations shall not be affected by any of the following
        circumstances:

                               (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the
                       Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement
                       or instrument relating thereto;

                               (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to
                       departure from the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or
                       any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, with
                       the written consent of Borrower executed by a Responsible
                       Official of Borrower;

                               (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff,
                       defense, or other rights that Borrower may have at any
                       time against the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent
                       or any Lender, any beneficiary of the Letter of Credit
                       (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary may be
                       acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with
                       the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other
                       agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any
                       unrelated transactions;

                               (iv) any demand, statement, or any other document
                       presented under the 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 whatsoever so long as any such
                       document reasonably appeared to comply with the terms of
                       the Letter of Credit;

                               (v) payment by the Issuing Lender in good faith
                       under the Letter of Credit against presentation of a
                       draft or any accompanying document which does not
                       strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit;

                               (vi) the existence, character, quality, quantity,
                       condition, packing, value or delivery of any Property
                       purported to be represented by documents presented in
                       connection with any Letter of Credit or for any
                       difference between any such Property and the character,

                       war, insurrection, civil unrest, disturbances, labor
                       disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond the
                       control of the Issuing Lender; and

                               (xiii) so long as the Issuing Lender in good
                       faith determines that the contract or document appears to
                       comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, the form,
                       accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or
                       document referred to in any document submitted to the
                       Issuing Lender in connection with a Letter of Credit.

                       (i) The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to the
        protection accorded to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6
        (subject to the standards set forth therein), mutatis mutandis.

                       (j) The Uniform Code of Practice for Documentary Credits,
        as published in its most current version by the International Chamber of
        Commerce, shall be deemed a part of this Section and shall apply to all
        Letters of Credit to the extent not inconsistent with applicable Law.

               2.6 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.

                      (a) Optional. Borrower may at any time or from time to
time, upon not less than three (3) Banking Days' notice to the Administrative
Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the Commitments under any Facility,
provided that each partial reduction of the Commitments under any of the
Facilities shall be in an aggregate amount of $250,000 or an integral multiple
of $50,000 in excess thereof.

                      (b) Mandatory. The Revolving Commitments shall be
automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the Revolving Facility Maturity
Date. The unused Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced
to zero at the close of business on the Closing Date concurrently with the
Closing Date Lenders' initial Term Advances to be made on such date.

                                      -39-

<PAGE>
                      (c) Reduction Pro Rata; No Reinstatements. Each reduction
of the Commitments under a Facility shall be applied to the respective
Commitments of the relevant Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata
Shares of such Facility. Commitments once terminated or reduced may not be
reinstated.

               2.7 Administrative Agent's Right to Assume Funds Available for
Advances. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any
relevant Lender no later than 10:00 a.m., California time, on the Banking Day of
the proposed funding by the Administrative Agent of any Borrowing that such
Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender's portion of the total amount of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative
Agent on the date of the Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If the
Administrative Agent has made funds available to Borrower based on such
assumption and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the
Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender
does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's
demand therefor, the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower and
Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover from such Lender interest
on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower
to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent,
at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall
be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments
or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

               2.8 Swing Line.

                       (a) The Swing Line Lender shall from time to time from
        the Closing Date through the day prior to the Revolving Credit Facility
        Maturity Date make Swing Line Loans to Borrower in such amounts as
        Borrower may request, provided that (a) after giving effect to such
        Swing Line Loan, Revolving Credit Facility Usage does not exceed the
        Maximum Revolving Credit Amount, (b) after giving effect to such Swing
        Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings do not exceed $5,000,000 and/or,
        (c) without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Loan may be
        made during the continuation of an Event of Default if written notice of
        such Event of Default shall have been provided to Swing Line Lender by
        the Administrative Agent or a Lender sufficiently in advance of the
        making of such Swing Line Loan. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
        under this Section. Borrowings under the Swing Line may be made in
        amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 (or the remaining
        availability under the Swing Line) upon telephonic request by a
        Responsible Official of Borrower made to the Administrative Agent not
        later than 2:00 p.m., California time, on the Banking Day of the
        requested borrowing (which telephonic request shall be promptly
        confirmed in writing by

                                      -40-

<PAGE>
        telecopier or electronic mail). Promptly after receipt of such a request
        for borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic
        verification to the Swing Line Lender that, after giving effect to such
        request, availability for Loans will exist under Section 2.1(a) (and
        such verification shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier
        or electronic mail). Each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an
        amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 (or the Swing Line
        Outstandings). Borrower shall notify the Swing Line Lender of its
        intention to make a repayment of a Swing Line Loan not later than 1:00
        p.m. California time on the date of repayment. If Borrower instructs the
        Swing Line Lender to debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line
        Lender in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan,
        or the Swing Line Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m.,
        California time, on a Banking Day, such payment shall be deemed received
        on the next Banking Day. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the
        Administrative Agent of the Swing Loan Outstandings each time there is a
        change therein.

                       (b) Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a fluctuating
        rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
        Alternate Base Rate Margin. Interest shall be payable on such dates, not
        more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swing Line Lender
        and in any event on the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date. The
        Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for such
        interest. The interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the
        account of the Swing Line Lender (subject to clause (d) below).

                       (c) Subject to subsection (e) below, the principal amount
        of all Swing Line Loans shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i)
        the maturity date agreed to by the Swing Line Lender and Borrower with
        respect to such loan (which maturity date shall not be a date more than
        five (5) consecutive Banking Days from the date of advance thereof) or
        (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date.

                       (d) Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender
        shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender a
        participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender's Pro Rata Share
        of the Revolving Commitment times the amount of the Swing Line Loan.
        Upon demand made by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall, according
        to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment, promptly provide to
        the Swing Line Lender its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to
        its participation therein. The obligation of each Lender to so provide
        its purchase price to the Swing Line Lender shall be absolute and
        unconditional (except only demand made by the Swing Line Lender) and
        shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of
        Default; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to purchase its Pro
        Rata Share of (i) Swing Line Loans to the extent that, after giving
        effect to such Swing Line Loan, Revolving Credit Facility Usage exceeds
        the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount, (ii) Swing Line Loans to the extent
        that, after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, Swing Line
        Outstandings exceed $5,000,000 and (iii) any Swing Line Loan made
        (absent the consent of all of the Lenders) during the continuation of an
        Event of Default if written notice of such Event of Default shall have
        been provided to Swing Line Lender by the Administrative Agent or a
        Lender sufficiently in advance of

                                      -41-

<PAGE>
        the making of such Swing Line Loan. Each Lender that has provided to the
        Swing Line Lender the purchase price due for its participation in Swing
        Line Loans shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the
        extent of such payment, in the claim of the Swing Line Lender against
        Borrower for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with
        that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrower
        with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrower
        (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender
        paid the Swing Line Lender its purchase price) with respect to such
        claim.

                       (e) In the event that any Swing Line Loan remains
        outstanding for ten (10) consecutive Banking Days, then on the next
        Banking Day (unless Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to
        the Swing Line Lender to repay such Swing Line Loan, in full), Borrower
        shall request a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(a) sufficient to repay the
        aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loan together with any and
        all accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto. In addition, the
        Swing Line Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written
        notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, demand payment of the Swing
        Line Loans by way of a Revolving Advance in the full amount or any
        portion of the Swing Line Outstandings. In each case, the Administrative
        Agent shall automatically provide the responsive Advances made by each
        Lender to the Swing Line Lender (which the Swing Line Lender shall then
        apply to the Swing Line Outstandings). In the event that Borrower fails
        to request a Loan within the time specified by Section 2.2 on any such
        date, the Administrative Agent may, but is not required to, without
        notice to or the consent of Borrower, cause Alternate Base Rate Advances
        to be made by the Lenders under the Revolving Commitment in amounts
        which are sufficient to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings as required
        above. The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Swing
        Line Lender for application to the Swing Line Outstandings.

               2.9 Collateral. The Obligations shall be secured by a first
priority (subject to Liens permitted by Section 6.9) perfected Lien on the
Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

               3.1 Principal and Interest.

                       (a) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding daily
        unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date thereof until
        payment in full is made and shall accrue and be payable at the rates set
        forth or provided for herein before and after Default, before and after
        maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the
        commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, with
        interest on overdue interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent
        permitted by applicable Laws.

                       (b) Interest accrued on each Alternate Base Rate Advance
        shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Payment Date. Except as
        otherwise provided in Section 3.7, the unpaid principal amount of any
        Alternate Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate
        per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Alternate
        Base Rate Margin. Each change in the interest rate under this Section
        3.1(b) due to a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall take effect
        simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Alternate Base Rate.

                       (c) Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Advance
        which is for a term of three months or less shall be due and payable on
        the last day of the related Eurodollar Period. Interest accrued on each
        other Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be due and payable on the date which
        is three months after the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance was made
        (and, in the event that all of the Lenders have approved a Eurodollar
        Period of longer than six months, every three months thereafter through
        the last day of the Eurodollar Period) and on the last day of the
        related Eurodollar Period. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.7,
        the unpaid principal amount of any Eurodollar Rate Advance shall bear
        interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for that
        Eurodollar Rate Advance plus the Applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin.

                       (d) If not sooner paid, the principal Indebtedness
        evidenced by the Notes shall be payable as follows:

                               (i) the amount, if any, by which the principal
                       Indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Note at any time
                       exceeds the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount shall be
                       payable immediately;

                               (ii) the Term Amortization Amount with respect to
                       each applicable Amortization Date under the Term Notes
                       shall be payable on such Amortization Date; and

                                      -43-

<PAGE>
                               (iii) the principal Indebtedness evidenced by any
                       series of Notes shall in any event be payable on the
                       applicable Maturity Date for such series of Notes.

                       (e) The principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes
        shall be prepaid on or before the third Banking Day following the
        receipt by Borrower or any Subsidiary of: (i) Net Cash Sales Proceeds
        from Dispositions by an amount equal to the amount by which such Net
        Cash Sales Proceeds exceed $250,000 per annum; (ii) Net Cash Issuance
        Proceeds from the issuance of equity Securities of Borrower or any
        Subsidiary by an amount equal to the amount by which such Net Cash
        Issuance Proceeds exceed $250,000 per annum. Any prepayment of the Notes
        under this subsection shall be applied first, to principal coming due on
        the Term Notes in reverse order of maturity and second, to the Revolving
        Notes in accordance with the respective principal balances then
        outstanding thereunder.

                       (f) The principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes
        may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily be paid or prepaid
        in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that with respect
        to any voluntary prepayment under this subsection, (i) any partial
        prepayment shall be not less than $2,000,000 and shall be an integral
        multiple of $500,000, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received
        written notice of any prepayment by 9:00 a.m. California time on the
        date that is (x) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance three (3)
        Banking Days before the date of prepayment and (y) in the case of an
        Alternate Base Rate Advance, the date of prepayment, which notice shall
        identify the date and amount of the prepayment and the Advance(s) being
        prepaid, (iii) each prepayment of principal on any Eurodollar Rate
        Advance shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued to the date
        of payment on the amount of principal paid, (iv) any payment or
        prepayment of all or any part of any Eurodollar Rate Advance on a day
        other than the last day of the applicable Eurodollar Period shall be
        subject to Section 3.6(e), and (v) to the extent any prepayment of any
        of the Notes under this subsection is in excess of any Term Amortization
        Amount then due, such excess shall be applied pro rata to principal
        payments coming due first to the Term Notes and second to the Revolving
        Notes in accordance with the respective principal balances then
        outstanding thereunder.

               3.2 Unused Revolving Facility Commitment Fee. From the Closing
Date through the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of the applicable Lenders in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, a commitment fee equal to the
Applicable Commitment Fee Margin times the average daily amount by which the
Maximum Revolving Credit Amount exceeds the sum of (a) the aggregate principal
amount of funded Indebtedness then outstanding under the Revolving Notes plus
(b) the Aggregate Effective Amount under all outstanding Standby Letters of
Credit. The commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each
Quarterly Payment Date.

               3.3 Closing Fee; Agency Fee etc. Borrower shall pay to the
Closing Date Lenders, through the Administrative Agent, the closing fees in the
amount heretofore agreed

                                      -44-

<PAGE>
upon by letter agreement among Borrower and each Closing Date Lender. All such
fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be non-refundable. Fees paid to
the Administrative Agent are solely for its own account and are non-refundable.

               3.4 Letter of Credit Fees. With respect to each Letter of Credit,
Borrower shall pay the following fees:

                       (a) concurrently with the issuance of each Standby Letter
        of Credit and on each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter so long as such
        Standby Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, to the Administrative
        Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their
        respective Pro Rata Shares, a standby letter of credit fee in an amount
        equal to the product of the then Applicable Standby Letter of Credit Fee
        Rate times the then outstanding undrawn amount of such Standby Letter of
        Credit, for the period commencing on such payment date and ending on the
        next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date or for the remaining term of such
        Standby Letter of Credit, whichever is shorter; provided, however, that
        the applicable standby letter of credit fee payable in connection with
        the original issuance of any Standby Letter of Credit (and on each
        anniversary date thereof if such Letter of Credit is renewed or
        extended) shall be no less than $350;

                       (b) concurrently with the issuance of each Commercial
        Letter of Credit, a one-time issuance fee equal to 1.00% (100 basis
        points) of the face amount of such Commercial Letter of Credit; and

                       (c) concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of
        Credit, and on each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter so long as such
        Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, to the Issuing Lender for its
        own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% (12.5 basis points) per
        annum on the daily average stated amount of such Letter of Credit.

In addition to the foregoing, in connection with a Letter of Credit and activity
relating thereto, Borrower also shall pay amendment, transfer, issuance,
negotiation and such other fees as the Issuing Lender normally charges, in the
amounts set forth from time to time as the Issuing Lender's published scheduled
fees for such services. Each of the fees payable with respect to Letters of
Credit under this Section is earned when due and is nonrefundable.

               3.5 Increased Commitment Costs. If any Lender shall determine in
good faith that the introduction after the Closing Date of any applicable law,
rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein
or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central
bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Eurodollar Lending
Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender, with any request, guideline
or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law)
of any such central bank or other authority not imposed as a result of such
Lender's or such corporation's failure to comply with any other Laws, affects or
would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender or any corporation controlling

                                      -45-

<PAGE>
such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's
policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on
capital) determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is increased,
or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a consequence of its obligations
under this Agreement, then, within ten (10) days after demand of such Lender,
Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified in good faith
by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light
of such circumstances, to the extent reasonably allocable to such obligations
under this Agreement, provided that Borrower, shall not be obligated to pay any
such amount which arose prior to the date which is one year preceding the date
of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is one year
preceding the date of such demand. Each Lender's determination of such amounts
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

               3.6 Eurodollar Costs and Related Matters.

               (a) In the event that any Governmental Agency imposes on any
        Lender any reserve or comparable requirement (including any emergency,
        supplemental or other reserve) with respect to the Eurodollar
        Obligations of that Lender, Borrower shall pay that Lender within ten
        (10) days after demand all amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
        (determined as though such Lender's Eurodollar Lending Office had funded
        100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advances in the Designated Eurodollar
        Market) in respect of the imposition of such reserve requirements
        (provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount
        which arose prior to the date which is one year preceding the date of
        such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is one
        year preceding the date of such demand). Any Lender's determination of
        such amount shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

               (b) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any
        Special Eurodollar Circumstance:

                               (i) shall subject any Lender or its Eurodollar
                       Lending Office to any tax, duty or other charge or cost
                       with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its
                       Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Advances or its
                       obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, or shall
                       change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender
                       attributable to the principal of or interest on any
                       Eurodollar Rate Advance or any other amounts due under
                       this Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Rate Advance,
                       any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Advances or
                       its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances,
                       excluding (A) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in
                       part by its overall net income by (1) any jurisdiction
                       (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is
                       organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar
                       Lending Office or (2) any jurisdiction (or political
                       subdivision thereof) in which it is "doing business" and
                       (B) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross
                       income imposed by the United States of America for any
                       period with respect to which it has failed to provide
                       Borrower with the appropriate form or

                                      -46-

<PAGE>
                       forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such
                       forms are then required by applicable Laws;

                               (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
                       reserve not applicable or deemed applicable on the date
                       hereof (including any reserve imposed by the Board of
                       Governors of the Federal Reserve System, special deposit,
                       capital or similar requirements against assets of,
                       deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
                       by, any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office); or

                               (iii) shall impose on any Lender or its
                       Eurodollar Lending Office or the Designated Eurodollar
                       Market any other condition affecting any Eurodollar Rate
                       Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate
                       Advances, its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances
                       or this Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the
                       same;

        and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by
        such Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending
        Office of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Advance or in
        respect of any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing
        Eurodollar Rate Advances or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate
        Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
        Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office with respect to any Eurodollar
        Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Advances or
        its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances (assuming such Lender's
        Eurodollar Lending Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate
        Advances in the Designated Eurodollar Market), then, within five (5)
        Banking Days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the
        Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
        amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost
        or reduction (determined as though such Lender's Eurodollar Lending
        Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advances in the Designated
        Eurodollar Market); provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay
        any such amount which arose prior to the date which is one year
        preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to
        the date which is one year preceding the date of such demand. A
        statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this subsection
        shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

                       (c) If, after the date hereof, the existence or
        occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance shall, in the good
        faith opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for such
        Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its
        portion of any Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or
        materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or
        to take deposits of, Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market, or to
        determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then
        such Lender's obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
        suspended for the duration of such illegality or impossibility and the
        Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other
        Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding
        principal

                                      -47-

<PAGE>
        amount of such Lender's affected Eurodollar Rate Advances, together with
        accrued interest thereon, automatically shall be converted to Alternate
        Base Rate Advances on either (i) the last day of the Eurodollar
        Period(s) applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Advances if such Lender may
        lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Rate Advances to
        such day(s) or (ii) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue
        to fund and maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances to such day(s),
        provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to
        payment of a prepayment fee under Section 3.6(e). Each Lender agrees to
        endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual
        knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will cause such
        Lender to notify Borrower as set forth in the first sentence of this
        Section, and agrees to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office
        if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in
        the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially
        disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event that any Lender is unable,
        for the reasons set forth above, to make, maintain or fund any
        Eurodollar Rate Advance, such Lender shall fund such Eurodollar Dollar
        Rate Advance as an Alternate Base Rate Advance for the same period of
        time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as an Alternate
        Base Rate Advance. In the event that any Lender's obligation to make
        Eurodollar Rate Advances has been suspended under this Section, such
        Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower of
        the cessation of the Special Eurodollar Circumstance which gave rise to
        such suspension.

                       (d) If, with respect to any proposed Borrowing comprised
        of Eurodollar Rate Advances:

                               (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably
                       determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
                       Designated Eurodollar Market generally that are beyond
                       the reasonable control of the Lenders, deposits in
                       Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered
                       to any Lender in the Designated Eurodollar Market for the
                       applicable Eurodollar Period; or

                               (ii) the Requisite Lenders advise the
                       Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate as
                       determined by the Administrative Agent (A) does not
                       represent the effective pricing to such Lenders for
                       deposits in Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market
                       in the relevant amount for the applicable Eurodollar
                       Period, or (B) will not adequately and fairly reflect the
                       cost to such Lenders of making the applicable Eurodollar
                       Rate Advances;

        then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to
        Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent
        notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension
        no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future
        Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

                       (e) Upon payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate
        Advance (other than as the result of a conversion required under Section
        3.6(c)) on a day other than the last day in the applicable Eurodollar
        Period (whether voluntarily,

                                      -48-

<PAGE>
        involuntarily, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), or upon the
        failure of Borrower (for a reason other than the breach by a Lender of
        its obligation pursuant to Section 2.1(a)) to borrow on the date or in
        the amount specified for a Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate
        Advances in any Request for Borrowing, Borrower shall pay to the
        appropriate Lender within five (5) Banking Days after demand a
        prepayment fee or failure to borrow fee, as the case may be (determined
        as though 100% of the Eurodollar Rate Advance had been funded in the
        Designated Eurodollar Market) equal to the sum of:

                               (1) $250; plus

                               (2) the amount, if any, by which (i) the
                       additional interest would have accrued on the amount
                       prepaid or not borrowed at the Eurodollar Rate plus the
                       Applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin if that amount had
                       remained or been outstanding through the last day of the
                       applicable Eurodollar Period exceeds (ii) the interest
                       that such Lender could recover by placing such amount on
                       deposit in the Designated Eurodollar Market for a period
                       beginning on the date of the prepayment or failure to
                       borrow and ending on the last day of the applicable
                       Eurodollar Period (or, if no deposit rate quotation is
                       available for such period, for the most comparable period
                       for which a deposit rate quotation may be obtained); plus

                               (3) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such
                       Lender reasonably attributable to such payment,
                       prepayment or failure to borrow.

        Each Lender's determination of the amount of any prepayment fee payable
        under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

                       (f) Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify
        Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after
        the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation
        pursuant to clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section, and agrees to
        designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will
        avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will
        not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially
        disadvantageous to such Lender. Any request for compensation by a Lender
        under this Section shall set forth the basis upon which it has been
        determined that such an amount is due from Borrower, a calculation of
        the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have
        been incurred by such Lender.

               3.7 Late Payments and Default Rate. If any installment of
principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan
Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, it
shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the sum of the interest rate otherwise applicable thereto
hereunder (or, if no interest rate is otherwise applicable thereto hereunder,
the Alternate Base Rate) plus 2.00% (the "Default Rate"), to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws. While any Event of Default exists or after
acceleration, at the option of the

                                      -49-

<PAGE>
Requisite Lenders, Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of
judgment thereon to the extent permitted by Law) on the principal amount of all
outstanding Obligations, at the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by
Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past
due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar
month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

               3.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest and
fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days
and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Advance for
the day on which the Advance is made; interest shall not accrue on an Advance,
or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Advance or such portion is
paid. Any Advance that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear
interest for one day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws
shall not accrue or be payable hereunder or under the Notes, and any amount paid
as interest hereunder or under the Notes which would otherwise be in excess of
such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of
principal.

               3.9 Non-Banking Days. If any payment to be made by Borrower or
any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a
Banking Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding
Banking Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest
and fees.

               3.10 Manner and Treatment of Payments.

                       (a) Each payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to
        Sections 3.4, 3.5, 11.3, 11.11 and 11.21) or on the Notes or under any
        other Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the
        Administrative Agent's Office, in immediately available funds not later
        than 11:00 a.m. California time, on the day of payment (which must be a
        Banking Day). All payments received after such time, on any Banking Day,
        shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Banking Day. The amount
        of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
        each Lender shall be immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to the
        applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if such payment
        was received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., California time,
        on a Banking Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on
        that Banking Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender
        for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment at the
        Federal Funds Rate. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the
        United States of America.

                       (b) Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent
        to debit the Designated Deposit Account to effect any payment due to the
        Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Any
        resulting overdraft in the Designated Deposit Account shall be payable
        by Borrower to the Administrative Agent on the next following Banking
        Day.

                                      -50-

<PAGE>
                       (c) Each payment or prepayment on account of any
        Borrowing shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding
        Advances made by each Lender comprising such Borrowing.

                       (d) Each Lender shall use its best efforts to keep a
        record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of Advances
        made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes
        and, subject to Section 10.6(g), such record shall, as against Borrower,
        be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing. Notwithstanding the
        foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep such a record
        shall not affect Borrower's obligation to pay the Obligations.

                       (e) Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower or any
        other Party to any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
        Document shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by
        reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any
        Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority, excluding (i)
        taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net
        income and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes by (A)
        any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is
        organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending Office
        or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it
        is "doing business" and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based
        on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period
        with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrower with the
        appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such
        forms are then required by applicable Laws (all such non-excluded taxes,
        assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").
        To the extent that Borrower is obligated by applicable Laws to make any
        deduction or withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to
        any Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall (1) make such deduction
        or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and
        (2) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result
        in that Lender's receiving a net after-Tax amount equal to the amount to
        which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent
        such deduction or withholding. If and when receipt of such payment
        results in an excess payment or credit to that Lender on account of such
        Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to Borrower.

               3.11 Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular
place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has
obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or
manner.

               3.12 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest
(including interest arising under Section 3.7), fee, cost or other amount
payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a
particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver
of the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's right to require full payment of
any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.7), fee, cost or other

                                      -51-

<PAGE>
amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by
another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or
subsequent occasion.

               3.13 Administrative Agent's Right to Assume Payments Will be
Made. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is due that
Borrower does not intend to remit such payment (or otherwise cause sufficient
funds to be available in the Designated Deposit Account for debit pursuant to
Section 3.10(b)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that
Borrower has remitted such payment (or caused funds sufficient to make such
payment to be available) when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender
on such payment date, an amount equal to such Lender's share of such assumed
payment. If Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment (or caused funds
sufficient to make such payment to be available) to the Administrative Agent,
each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the
amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with
interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount
was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such
amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate.

               3.14 Fee Determination Detail. The Administrative Agent, and any
Lender, shall provide reasonable detail to Borrower regarding the manner in
which the amount of any payment to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or
that Lender, under Article 3 has been determined, concurrently with demand for
such payment.

               3.15 Survivability. All of Borrower's obligations under Sections
3.4 and 3.5 shall survive for the one year period following the Termination
Date, and Borrower shall remain obligated thereunder for all claims under such
Sections made by any Lender to Borrower prior to the expiration of such period.

                                   Article 4.
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

               Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and
each of the Lenders that:

               4.1 Existence and Qualification; Power; Compliance With Laws.
Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the Laws of the State of Delaware. Borrower is duly qualified or
registered to transact business and is in good standing in the State of
California, and each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or
the ownership or leasing of its Properties makes such qualification or
registration necessary, except where the failure so to qualify or register and
to be in good standing would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower,
has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business, to own and lease
its Properties and to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a
Party and to perform its Obligations. The chief executive offices of Borrower is
located in Perris, California. All outstanding capital stock of Borrower, are
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and no holder
thereof has any enforceable right of rescission under any applicable state or
federal securities or other Laws. Borrower is in compliance with all Laws and
other legal requirements applicable to its business, has obtained all
authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses and permits from, and has
accomplished all filings, registrations and qualifications with, or obtained
exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency that are
necessary for the transaction of its business, except where the failure so to
comply with Laws and other legal requirements applicable to its business, obtain
authorizations, etc., file, register, qualify or obtain exemptions does not
constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

               4.2 Authority; Compliance With Other Agreements and Instruments
and Government Regulations. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower
and the other Obligors of the Loan Documents to which it is a Party have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or company action, as applicable, and
do not and will not:

                       (a) Require any consent or approval not heretofore
        obtained of any partner, director, stockholder, member, security holder
        or creditor of such Party;

                       (b) Violate or conflict with any provision of such
        Party's charter, articles of incorporation, bylaws, articles or
        certificate of organization, operating agreement, or other
        organizational documents, as applicable;

                       (c) Result in or require the creation or imposition of
        any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) or Right of Others
        upon or with respect to any Property now owned or leased or hereafter
        acquired by such Party;

                       (d) Violate any Requirement of Law applicable to such
        Party;

                       (e) Result in a breach of or constitute a default under,

        agreement or any other Contractual Obligation to which such Party is a
        party or by which such Party or any of its Property is bound or
        affected;

and such Party is not in violation of, or default under, any Requirement of Law
or Contractual Obligation, or any indenture, loan or credit agreement described
in Section 4.2(e), in any respect that constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.

               4.3 No Governmental Approvals Required. Except as previously
obtained or made, no authorization, consent, approval, order, license or permit
from, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Agency is
or will be required to authorize or permit under applicable Laws the execution,
delivery and performance by Borrower or any other Obligor of the Loan Documents
to which it is a Party.

               4.4 Subsidiaries.

                       (a) Schedule 4.4 hereto correctly sets forth the names,
        form of legal entity, number of shares of capital stock or membership or
        other equity interests, as applicable, issued and outstanding, number of
        shares of capital stock or membership or other equity interests, as
        applicable, owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower (specifying
        such owner) and jurisdictions of organization of all Subsidiaries of
        Borrower. Except as described in Schedule 4.4, Borrower does not own any
        capital stock, membership interest, other equity interest or debt
        security which is convertible, or exchangeable, for capital stock,
        membership interests or other equity interests in any Person. Unless
        otherwise indicated in Schedule 4.4, all of the outstanding shares of
        capital stock, all of the outstanding membership interests or all of the
        units of other equity interest, as the case may be, of each Subsidiary
        are owned of record and beneficially by Borrower, there are no
        outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase capital stock
        of any such Subsidiary, and all such shares, membership interests or
        other equity interests so owned are duly authorized, validly issued,
        fully paid and non-assessable, and were issued in compliance with all
        applicable state and federal securities and other Laws, and are free and
        clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Encumbrances and other
        encumbrances permitted pursuant to Section 6.9.

                       (b) Each Subsidiary is a legal entity of the type
        described in Schedule 4.4 duly formed, validly existing and, if such
        concept is legally recognized in such Subsidiary's jurisdiction of
        organization, in "good standing" under the Laws of its jurisdiction of
        organization, is duly qualified to do business as a foreign organization
        and, if such concept is legally recognized in any applicable
        jurisdiction, is in "good standing" as such in each jurisdiction in
        which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of its
        Properties makes such qualification necessary (except where the failure
        to be so duly qualified and in good standing does not constitute a
        Material Adverse Effect), and has all requisite power and authority to
        conduct its business and to own and lease its Properties.

                                      -54-

<PAGE>
                       (c) Each Subsidiary is in compliance with all Laws and
        other requirements applicable to its business and has obtained all
        authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, and permits from,
        and each such Subsidiary has accomplished all filings, registrations,
        and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the
        foregoing from, any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the
        transaction of its business, except where the failure to be in such
        compliance, obtain such authorizations, consents, approvals, orders,
        licenses, and permits, accomplish such filings, registrations, and
        qualifications, or obtain such exemptions, does not constitute a
        Material Adverse Effect.

               4.5 Financial Statements. Borrower has furnished to the Lenders
(a) the audited consolidated financial statements of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2000 and (b) the unaudited
balance sheet and statement of operations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for
the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2001. The financial statements described
in clause (a) fairly present in all material respects the financial condition,
results of operations and changes in financial position, and the balance sheet
and statement of operations described in clause (b) fairly present the financial
condition and results of operations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as of such
dates and for such periods in conformity with GAAP consistently applied subject
only to normal year-end accruals and audit adjustments

               4.6 No Other Liabilities; No Material Adverse Changes. Borrower
and its Subsidiaries do not have any material liability or material contingent
liability required under GAAP to be reflected or disclosed, and not reflected or
disclosed, in the pro forma balance sheet described in Section 4.5(b), other
than liabilities and contingent liabilities arising in the ordinary course of
business since the date of such balance sheet. As of the Closing Date, no
circumstance or event has occurred that constitutes a Material Adverse Effect
since September 30, 2001.

               4.7 Title to and Location of Property. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries have valid title to the Property (other than assets which are the
subject of a Capital Lease Obligation) reflected in the pro forma balance sheet
described in Section 4.5(b), other than items of Property or exceptions to title
which are in each case immaterial and Property subsequently sold or disposed of
in the ordinary course of business. Such Property is free and clear of all Liens
and Rights of Others, other than Liens or Rights of Others described in Schedule
4.7A and Permitted Encumbrances, other encumbrances permitted pursuant to
Section 6.9, and Permitted Rights of Others. All Property of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is located at one of the locations described in Schedule 4.7B,
which schedule sets forth (a) all office, warehouse and manufacturing and other
space of Borrower and its Subsidiaries where any Property of Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries is located and (b) all deposit (whether a demand, time,
savings, passbook or similar account) and investment accounts of Borrower and
its Subsidiaries, identifying such account by account number, type, location of
depositary institution and applicable owner thereof.

               4.8 Intangible Assets. Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or
possess the right to use to the extent necessary in their respective businesses,
all material trademarks,

                                      -55-

<PAGE>
trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, computer software, licenses and
other Intangible Assets that are used in the conduct of their businesses as now
operated, and no such Intangible Asset, to the best knowledge of Borrower,
conflicts with the valid trademark, trade name, copyright, patent, patent right
or Intangible Asset of any other Person to the extent that such conflict
constitutes a Material Adverse Effect. Except as described in Schedule 4.8, in
the enforcement of its rights as a secured creditor, the Administrative Agent
(or any applicable Lender) will not be required to own or otherwise possess the
right to use any patent, trademark or other intellectual property, or any
license to use the same, in order to sell any Inventory of Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Schedule 4.8 sets
forth all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade names and trade styles
used by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any time within the five (5) year
period ending on the Closing Date.

               4.9 Public Utility Holding Company Act. None of Borrower or any
of the other Obligors is a "holding company", or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company", or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary
company" of a "holding company", within the meaning of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

               4.10 Litigation. Except for (a) any matter fully covered as to
subject matter and amount (subject to applicable deductibles and retentions) by
insurance for which the insurance carrier has not asserted lack of subject
matter coverage or reserved its right to do so, (b) any matter, or series of
related matters, involving a claim against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
of less than $250,000, (c) matters of an administrative nature not involving a
claim or charge against Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower and (d) matters
set forth in Schedule 4.10, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending as to which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have been
served or have received notice or, to the best knowledge of Borrower threatened
against or affecting Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Property of any
of them before any Governmental Agency. None of Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or,
to the best knowledge of Borrower, any executive officer of any such Persons has
been indicted or convicted in connection with or is engaging in any criminal
conduct which constitutes a felony, or is currently subject to any lawsuit or
proceeding or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, under investigation in
connection with any anti-racketeering or criminal conduct or activity which
constitutes a felony.

               4.11 Binding Obligations. Each of the Loan Documents to which
Borrower and any of the other Obligors is a Party will, when executed and
delivered by such Party, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except
as enforcement may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws or equitable principles
relating to the granting of specific performance and other equitable remedies as
a matter of judicial discretion.

               4.12 No Default. No event has occurred and is continuing that is
a Default or Event of Default.

               4.13 ERISA.

                               (i) such Pension Plan complies in all material
                       respects with ERISA and any other applicable Laws to the
                       extent that noncompliance could reasonably be expected to
                       have a Material Adverse Effect;

                               (ii) such Pension Plan has not incurred any
                       "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in Section
                       302 of ERISA) that could reasonably be expected to have a
                       Material Adverse Effect;

                               (iii) no "reportable event" (as defined in
                       Section 4043 of ERISA, but excluding such events as to
                       which the PBGC has by regulation waived the requirement
                       therein contained that it be notified within thirty days
                       of the occurrence of such event) has occurred that could
                       reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
                       and

                               (iv) neither Borrower nor any of the other
                       Obligors has engaged in any non-exempt "prohibited
                       transaction" (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code)
                       that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
                       Adverse Effect.

                       (b) Neither Borrower nor any of the other Obligors have
        incurred or expects to incur any withdrawal liability to any
        Multiemployer Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
        Adverse Effect.

               4.14 Regulation U; Investment Company Act. No part of the
proceeds of any Advance hereunder will be used to purchase or carry, or to
extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, any Margin
Stock in violation of Regulation U. Neither Borrower nor any of the other
Obligors is or is required to be registered as an "investment company" under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

               4.15 Disclosure. No written statement made by a Senior Officer of
Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement,
or in connection with any Advance, as of the date thereof contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted a material fact necessary to make the
statement made not misleading in light of all the circumstances existing at the
date the statement was made.

               4.16 Tax Liability. Borrower and the other Obligors have filed
all tax returns which are required to be filed, and have paid, or made provision
for the payment of, all taxes with respect to the periods, Property or
transactions covered by said returns, or pursuant to any assessment received by
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except (a) such taxes, if any, as are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate
reserves have been established and maintained and (b) immaterial taxes so long
as no material Property of Borrower or any Subsidiary is at impending risk of
being seized, levied upon or forfeited.

               4.17 Projections. As of the Closing Date, to the best knowledge
of Borrower the assumptions set forth in the Projections are reasonable and
consistent with each other and with all facts known to Borrower other than to
the extent the disclosures set forth on Schedule 4.17 would affect such
assumptions, and the Projections are reasonably based on such assumptions.
Nothing in this Section 4.17 shall be construed as a representation or covenant
that the Projections in fact will be achieved.

               4.18 Hazardous Materials. Except as described in Schedule 4.18,
(a) neither Borrower nor any of the other Obligors at any time has disposed of,
discharged, released or threatened the release of any Hazardous Materials on,
from or under the Real Property in violation of any Hazardous Materials Law that

no condition exists that violates any Hazardous Material Law affecting any Real
Property except for such violations that would not individually or in the
aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Effect, (c) no Real Property or any
portion thereof is or has been utilized by any Borrower or any Subsidiary as a
site for the manufacture of any Hazardous Materials and (d) to the extent that
any Hazardous Materials are used, generated or stored by Borrower or any
Subsidiary on any Real Property, or transported to or from such Real Property by
Borrower, or any Subsidiary, such use, generation, storage and transportation
are in compliance in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws.

               4.19 Security Interests. Upon the execution and delivery of the
Security Agreement, the Security Agreement will create a valid security interest
in the Collateral described therein securing the Obligations (subject only to
Permitted Encumbrances, Permitted Rights of Others and other matters permitted
by Section 6.9 and to such qualifications and exceptions as are contained in the
UCC with respect to the priority of security interests perfected by means other
than the filing of a financing statement or with respect to the creation of
security interests in Property to which Division 9 of the UCC does not apply)
and all actions necessary to perfect the security interests so created, other
than filing of the UCC-1 financing statements delivered to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 8.1 with the appropriate Governmental Agency, have
been taken and completed. Upon the execution and delivery of any Control Account
Agreement by the depositary institution party thereto and the Borrower or any
applicable Subsidiary, such Control Account Agreement will create a valid
security interest in the Collateral described therein (subject only to Liens
permitted by the terms of such Control Account Agreement and Liens permitted by
Section 6.9) securing the Obligations and all actions necessary to perfect the

Administrative Agent all action necessary to perfect the security interests so
created will have been taken and completed.

               4.20 Employee Matters. There is no strike, work stoppage or labor
dispute with any union or group of employees pending or, to the best knowledge

                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
                           (OTHER THAN INFORMATION AND
                             REPORTING REQUIREMENTS)

               So long as any Advance remains unpaid, or any other Obligation
remains unpaid, or any portion of any of the Commitments remains in force,
Borrower shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to, unless the
Administrative Agent (with the written approval of the Requisite Lenders)
otherwise consents:

               5.1 Payment of Taxes and Other Potential Liens. Pay and discharge
promptly all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon
any of them, upon their respective Property or any part thereof and upon their
respective income or profits or any part thereof, except that Borrower and its
Subsidiaries shall not be required to pay or cause to be paid (a) any tax,
assessment, charge or levy that is not yet past due, or is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as the relevant entity has
established and maintains adequate reserves for the payment of the same or (b)
any immaterial tax so long as no material Property of Borrower or any Subsidiary
thereof is at impending risk of being seized, levied upon or forfeited.

               5.2 Preservation of Existence. Preserve and maintain their
respective existences (except as permitted by Section 6.4) in the jurisdiction
of their formation and all material authorizations, rights, franchises,
privileges, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits, or registrations
from any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the transaction of their
respective business and qualify and remain qualified to transact business in
each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of their
respective business or the ownership or leasing of their respective Properties
except where the failure to so qualify or remain qualified would not constitute
a Material Adverse Effect.

               5.3 Maintenance of Properties. Maintain, preserve and protect all
of their respective Properties in good order and condition, subject to wear and
tear in the ordinary course of business, and not permit any waste of their
respective Properties, except (i) that the failure to maintain, preserve and
protect a particular item of Property that is at the end of its useful life or
that is not of significant value, either intrinsically or to the operations of
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall not constitute a violation of this
covenant, and (ii) this covenant shall not be construed to prohibit any
Disposition otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.3.

               5.4 Maintenance of Insurance.

                       (a) Maintain insurance on all insurable tangible Property
        against fire, casualty and such other hazards (including extended
        coverage and workmen's compensation) in such amounts, with such
        deductibles and with such insurers (rated "A" or better by "A.M. Best's
        Insurance Reports") as are customarily used by companies operating in
        the same industry as Borrower and its Subsidiaries and reasonably
        acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Prior to the Closing Date,

                                      -60-

<PAGE>
        Borrower shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a schedule of all
        such insurance prepared by their insurance broker, and certificates of
        insurance with respect thereto (including the text of the lender's loss
        payable clause in favor of the Administrative Agent required below), or
        such other evidence of insurance as the Administrative Agent may
        require. Borrower shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a copy of
        each applicable policy within thirty (30) days after Closing Date. In
        the event Borrower fails to procure or cause to be procured any such
        insurance or to timely pay or cause to be paid the premium(s) on any
        such insurance, the Administrative Agent may do so for Borrower but
        Borrower shall continue to be liable for the same. All casualty
        insurance policies shall contain standard lender's loss payable clauses
        issued in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders)
        indicating that the Administrative Agent is sole lender loss payee,
        under which all losses thereunder shall be paid to the Administrative
        Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as the Administrative Agent's interest
        may appear. Such policies shall expressly provide that the requisite
        insurance cannot be altered or canceled without thirty (30) days prior
        written notice to the Administrative Agent and shall insure the
        Administrative Agent notwithstanding the act or neglect of Borrower or
        any of its Subsidiaries. Borrower hereby appoints the Administrative
        Agent as its attorney-in-fact, exercisable at the Administrative Agent's
        option only during the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an
        Event of Default, and only to the extent the Obligations are
        outstanding, to endorse any check which may be payable to Borrower and
        to file proofs of loss with respect to any insurance claims, in order to
        collect the proceeds of such insurance and any amount or amounts
        collected by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this
        paragraph may be applied by the Administrative Agent to the Obligations.
        Borrower further covenants that all insurance premiums due and owing
        under its current casualty policies have been paid. Borrower also agrees
        to notify the Administrative Agent, promptly, upon any receipt of a
        notice of termination, cancellation, or non-renewal from its insurance
        company of any such policy.

                       (b) Maintain, and deliver to the Administrative Agent
        upon the Administrative Agent's request evidence of, public liability,
        products liability and business interruption insurance in such amounts
        as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, but in any
        event not more than are customary for companies in the same or similar
        businesses located in the same or similar area. The Administrative Agent
        (on behalf of the Lenders) shall be named as additional insured with
        respect to all such liability insurance. The foregoing insurance shall
        be obtained from such insurers (rated "A" or better by "A.M. Best's
        Insurance Reports") as are customarily used by companies operating in
        the same industry as Borrower and its Subsidiaries and reasonably
        acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

               5.5 Compliance With Laws. Comply with all Requirements of Law
noncompliance with which constitutes a Material Adverse Effect, except that
Borrower and its Subsidiaries need not comply with a Requirement of Law then
being contested by any of them in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

                                      -61-

<PAGE>
               5.6 Inspection Rights. Upon reasonable notice, at any time during
regular business hours and, as requested by the Administrative Agent (but not so
as to materially interfere with the business of Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries) permit the Administrative Agent, or any Lender, or any authorized
employee, agent or representative thereof, to examine, audit and make copies and
abstracts from the records and books of account of (including any software or CD
Rom programs relating thereto), and to visit and inspect the Properties of,
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts
of Borrower and its Subsidiaries with any of their officers, key employees or
accountants and, upon request, furnish promptly to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender true copies of all financial information made available to the board
of directors or audit committee of the board of directors of Borrower. If any of
the Properties, books or records of Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries are in
the possession of a third party, Borrower authorizes that third party to permit
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any agents thereof to have access to
perform inspections or audits and to respond to the Administrative Agent's or
any Lender's request for information concerning such Properties, books and
records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice of any such examination,
audit, visit, inspection or discussion shall be required if an Event of Default
has occurred and remains in effect or if the Administrative Agent has reason to
believe that a Default or Event of Default then exists.

               5.7 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. Keep adequate
records and books of account reflecting all financial transactions in conformity
with GAAP, consistently applied, and in material conformity with all applicable

        performed or observed within twenty-five (25) Banking Days after the
        giving of notice by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Requisite
        Lenders of such Default; or

                       (f) Any representation or warranty of Borrower or any
        other Party made in any Loan Document, or in any certificate or other

        Document, proves to have been incorrect when made or reaffirmed in any
        respect that is materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders; or

                       (g) to the extent not otherwise addressed in this Section

        or of any guaranty of present or future Indebtedness of $250,000 or
        more, if as a result of such failure or sufferance any holder or holders

        than by action or inaction of the Administrative Agent) to create a
        valid and effective Lien in any material portion of the Collateral; or

        or obligation under any Loan Document, or purports to revoke, terminate
        or rescind same; or

                       (i) A final judgment against Borrower or any of its

        (not covered by insurance or for which an insurer has reserved its
        rights) and, absent procurement of a stay of execution, such judgment
        remains unsatisfied for thirty (30) calendar days after the date of
        entry of judgment, or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the
        date of any proposed sale thereunder; or any writ or warrant of
        attachment or execution or similar process is issued or levied against
        all or any material part of the Property of Borrower or any of its
        Subsidiaries and is not released, vacated or fully bonded within thirty

                       (j) Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries institutes or
        consents to the institution of any proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law
        relating to it or to all or any material part of its Property, or is
        unable or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they
        mature, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or applies
        for or consents to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, custodian,
        conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer for it or for

        custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer is
        appointed without the application or consent of that Person and the
        appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar
        days; or any proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law relating to any such
        Person or to all or any part of its Property is instituted without the
        consent of that Person and continues undismissed or unstayed for sixty
        (60) calendar days; or

                       (k) A Change in Control occurs; or

                       (l) The dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or any of
        its Subsidiaries other than Trac Modular and any Subsidiary with less
        than $50,000_ of total assets, or Borrower or any such , or Borrower or
        any such Subsidiary, any of their partners, members, directors or
        stockholders, as the case may be, shall take action seeking to effect
        the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or such Subsidiary; or

                       (m) The occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term
        is or may hereafter be specifically defined in any other Loan Document)
        under any other Loan Document; or

                       (n) Any Pension Plan maintained by Borrower is finally
        determined by the PBGC to have a material "accumulated funding
        deficiency" as that term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA in excess of
        an amount equal to 5% of the consolidated total assets of Borrower as of
        the most-recently ended Fiscal Quarter; or

                       (o) Any holder of a Subordinated Obligation asserts in
        writing that such Subordinated Obligation is not subordinated to the
        Obligations in accordance with its terms and Borrower does not promptly
        deny in writing such assertion and contest any attempt by such holder to
        take action based on such assertion;

                       (p) Any event occurs which gives the holder or holders of
        any Subordinated Obligation (or an agent or trustee on its or their
        behalf) the right to declare such Subordinated Obligation due before the
        date on which it otherwise would become due, or the right (other than by
        reason of a Change in Control) to require the issuer thereof, to redeem
        or purchase, or offer to redeem or purchase, all or any portion of any
        Subordinated Obligation, or a final judgment is entered by a court of
        competent jurisdiction that any Subordinated Obligation is not
        subordinated in accordance with its terms to the Obligations; or

                       (q) Any event or circumstance (other than those listed in
        (a)-(p) above) shall occur that constitutes, in the good faith
        determination of the Requisite Lenders, a Material Adverse Effect and
        such Material Adverse Effect is not cured, in the good faith
        determination of the Requisite Lenders, within twenty-five (25) Banking
        Days after occurrence thereof.

               9.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default. Without limiting any other
rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders provided for
elsewhere in this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, or by applicable Law,
or in equity, or otherwise:

                       (a) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of
        any Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section
        9.1(j):

                               (1) the Commitments to make Advances and all
                       other obligations of the Administrative Agent or the
                       Lenders and all rights of Borrower and any other Parties
                       under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without
                       notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly
                       waived by

                                      -81-

<PAGE>
                       Borrower except that all of the Lenders or the Requisite
                       Lenders (as the case may be, in accordance with Section
                       11.2) may waive an Event of Default or, without waiving,
                       determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the
                       Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as the case may be, to
                       reinstate the Commitments and such other obligations and
                       rights and make further Advances, which waiver or
                       determination shall apply equally to, and shall be
                       binding upon, all the Lenders;

                               (2) the Issuing Lender may demand immediate
                       payment by Borrower of an amount equal to the Aggregate
                       Effective Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to
                       be held by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
                       Lenders, in an interest-bearing cash collateral account
                       as collateral for all of the Obligations; and

                               (3) the Requisite Lenders may request the
                       Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent
                       thereupon shall, terminate the Commitments and/or declare
                       all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Notes, all
                       interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts
                       payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and
                       payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith
                       due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of
                       dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of
                       which are expressly waived by Borrower.

                       (b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described
        in Section 9.1(j):

                               (1) the Commitments shall terminate without
                       notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly
                       waived by Borrower, except that all of the Lenders may
                       waive the Event of Default or, without waiving,
                       determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to all
                       the Lenders, to reinstate the Commitments and make
                       further Advances, which determination shall apply equally
                       to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders;

                               (2) an amount equal to the Aggregate Effective
                       Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be
                       immediately due and payable to the Issuing Lender without
                       notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly
                       waived by Borrower, to be held by the Administrative
                       Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in an interest-bearing
                       cash collateral account as collateral for all of the
                       Obligations; and

                               (3) the unpaid principal of all Notes, all
                       interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts
                       payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due
                       and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of
                       dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of
                       which are expressly waived by Borrower.

<PAGE>
                       (c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
        Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or any of them, without notice to
        (except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon
        Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower (except as to notices
        expressly provided for in any Loan Document), may proceed (but only with
        the consent of the Requisite Lenders) to protect, exercise and enforce
        their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against Borrower and
        any other Party and such other rights and remedies as are provided by
        Law or equity.

                       (d) The order and manner in which the Lenders' rights and
        remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite
        Lenders in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the
        Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied
        first to the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees
        and disbursements and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys
        employed by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender) of the
        Administrative Agent and of the Lenders, and thereafter paid pro rata to
        the Lenders in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed
        to each Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate
        Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without
        priority or preference among the Lenders. Regardless of how each Lender
        may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the
        purpose of computing Borrower's Obligations hereunder and under the
        Notes, payments shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the
        Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as set forth above, second, to the
        payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to
        and including the date of such application (ratably, and without
        duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each
        of the Loan Documents), and third, to the payment of all other amounts
        (including principal and fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent or
        the Lenders under the Loan Documents. No application of payments will
        cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued
        acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent
        the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the
        Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

                                   Article 10.
                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

               10.1 Appointment and Authorization. Subject to Section 10.8, each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the
Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof
or are reasonably incidental, as determined by the Administrative Agent,
thereto. This appointment and authorization is intended solely for the purpose
of facilitating the servicing of the Facilities and does not constitute
appointment of the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Lender or as
representative of any Lender for any other purpose and, except as specifically
set forth in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall
take such action and exercise such powers only in an administrative and
ministerial capacity.

               10.2 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. Wells Fargo (and each
successor Administrative Agent) has the same rights and powers under the Loan
Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" includes Wells
Fargo in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo (and each successor Administrative
Agent) and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower, any
Subsidiary thereof, or any Affiliate of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, as
if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders. Wells Fargo (and each successor Administrative Agent) need not
account to any other Lender for any monies received by it for reimbursement of
its costs and expenses as Administrative Agent hereunder, or (subject to Section
11.10) for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary relationship with
any Lender and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist
against the Administrative Agent.

               10.3 Proportionate Interest in any Collateral. The Administrative
Agent, on behalf of all the Lenders, shall hold in accordance with the Loan
Documents all items of any collateral or interests therein received or held by
the Administrative Agent. Subject to the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders'
rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and other professional services and
the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent
or a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in accordance with
Section 9.2(d), each Lender shall have an interest in the Lenders' interest in
such collateral or interests therein in the same proportions that the aggregate
Obligations owed such Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate
Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority
or preference among the Lenders.

               10.4 Lenders' Credit Decisions. Each Lender agrees that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other
Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the
Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in reliance upon
information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower

                                      -84-

<PAGE>
and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents,
employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender,
continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or
not acting under the Loan Documents.

               10.5 Action by Administrative Agent.

                       (a) The Administrative Agent may assume that no Default
        has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent (or the
        Lender that is then the Administrative Agent) has received notice from
        Borrower stating the nature of the Default or has received notice from a
        Lender stating the nature of the Default and that such Lender considers
        the Default to have occurred and to be continuing.

                       (b) The Administrative Agent has only those obligations
        under the Loan Documents as are expressly set forth therein.

                       (c) Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the
        Loan Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that
        no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative
        Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act
        or not act, except that the Administrative Agent shall be required to
        act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all
        the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 11.2) and those
        instructions shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the
        Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
        act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to
        applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the
        Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the
        Administrative Agent.

                       (d) If the Administrative Agent has received a notice
        specified in clause (a), the Administrative Agent shall immediately give
        notice thereof to the Lenders and shall act or not act upon the
        instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the
        extent required by Section 11.2), provided that the Administrative Agent
        shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to
        any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the
        reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of
        liability to the Administrative Agent, and except that if the Requisite
        Lenders (or all the Lenders, if required under Section 11.2) fail, for
        five (5) Banking Days after the receipt of notice from the
        Administrative Agent, to instruct the Administrative Agent, then the
        Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may act or not act as it
        deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Lenders.

                       (e) The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to
        any Lender for acting, or not acting, as instructed by the Requisite
        Lenders (or all the Lenders, if required under Section 11.2),
        notwithstanding any other provision hereof.

               10.6 Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or
attorneys shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in
connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:

                       (a) May treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof
        until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or
        transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
        signed by the payee, and may treat each Lender as the owner of that
        Lender's interest in the Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement
        until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or
        transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
        signed by that Lender;

                       (b) May consult with legal counsel (including in-house
        legal counsel), accountants (including in-house accountants) and other
        professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel,
        accountants or other professionals or experts for Borrower or any other
        Obligor and/or any of their Affiliates or the Lenders, and shall not be
        liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in
        accordance with any advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other
        professionals or experts;

                       (c) Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
        statement, warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents
        or in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement
        (written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan
        Documents;

                       (d) Except to the extent expressly set forth in the Loan
        Documents, shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or
        observance by Borrower or any other Obligor of any of the terms,
        conditions or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect any
        Collateral or any Property, books or records of Borrower or any other
        Obligor;

                       (e) Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due
        execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
        effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any other
        instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection
        therewith, or any Collateral;

                       (f) Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting
        in reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate,
        statement, request or other instrument or writing believed in good faith
        by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties;
        and

                       (g) Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical
        error in computing any amount paid or payable by Borrower or any other
        Obligor or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any Lender
        under any Loan Document,

                                      -86-

<PAGE>
        including principal, interest, commitment fees, Advances and other
        amounts; provided that, promptly upon discovery of such an error in
        computation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and (to the extent
        applicable) Borrower and/or any other applicable Obligor shall make such
        adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to restore the
        parties to the position that they would have occupied had the error not
        occurred.

               10.7 Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance
with its Pro Rata Share of all of the then applicable Commitments (if any of the
Commitments are then in effect) and/or in accordance with its proportion of the
aggregate Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes (if all of the Commitments
have then been terminated), indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and its
directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and allocated costs of
attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent) that may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the
Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of Borrower
to pay the Indebtedness represented by the Notes) or any action taken or not
taken by it as Administrative Agent thereunder, except such as result from its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing,
each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for that
Lender's Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a
bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan
Documents, to the extent that Borrower or any other Party are required by
Section 11.3 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand. Nothing
in this Section 10.7 shall entitle the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee
referred to above to recover any amount from the Lenders if and to the extent
that such amount has theretofore been recovered from Borrower or any of the
other Obligors. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee
referred to above is later reimbursed such amount by Borrower or any of the
other Obligors, it shall return the amounts paid to it by the Lenders in respect
of such amount.

               10.8 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
may, and at the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Administrative
Agent upon reasonable notice to the Lenders and Borrower effective upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent. If the
Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement,
the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor
Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent shall
be approved by Borrower (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the
effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and
Borrower, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term "Administrative Agent"
shall mean such successor

                                      -87-

<PAGE>
Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this Article 10, and Sections 11.3, 11.11 and 11.21, shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no
successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent
by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative
Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation
shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all
of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as
the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for
above.

               10.9 No Obligations of Borrower. Nothing contained in this
Article 10 shall be deemed to impose upon Borrower any obligation in respect of
the due and punctual performance by the Administrative Agent of its obligations
to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and Borrower shall have no
liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any
failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its
obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where any provision of this
Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Loan
Documents provides that such payments shall be made by Borrower to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Borrower's obligations to
the Lenders in respect of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the
making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided by
this Agreement. In addition, Borrower may rely on a written statement by the
Administrative Agent to the effect that it has obtained the written consent of
the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable under Section 11.2,
in connection with a waiver, amendment, consent, approval or other action by the
Lenders hereunder, and shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the same.

                                      -88-

                                   Article 11.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

               11.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers,
privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided
herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of
any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or
delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver
thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege
or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right,
power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of Article 8 hereof are
inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; the
same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in
respect of any Borrowing without prejudicing the Administrative Agent's or the
Lenders' rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other
Borrowing.

               11.2 Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification,
supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to
any departure by Borrower or any other Party therefrom, may in any event be
effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the written
approval of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment,
modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which Borrower is a
Party, signed by Borrower, and, in the case of any amendment, modification or
supplement to Article 10, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; and, without the
approval in writing of all the Lenders, no amendment, modification, supplement,
termination, waiver or consent may be effective:

                       (a) To amend or modify the principal of, or the amount of
        principal, principal prepayments or the rate of interest payable on, any
        Note, or the amount of the Facilities or the Pro Rata Share of any
        Facility of any Lender or the amount of any commitment fee payable to
        any Lender, or any other fee or amount payable to any Lender (in its
        capacity as a Lender) under the Loan Documents or to waive an Event of
        Default consisting of the failure of Borrower to pay when due principal,
        interest or any fee;

                       (b) To postpone any date fixed for any payment of
        principal of, prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest
        on, any Note or any installment of any fee, or to extend the term of the
        Facilities;

                       (c) To amend the provisions of the definition of
        "Requisite Lenders", "Amortization Date", "Term Amortization Amount",
        "Revolving Facility Maturity Date", or "Term Maturity Date";

                       (d) To release any Guarantor from its Guaranty or to
        release any Collateral from the Lien of the Collateral Documents with a
        book value (as determined

                                      -89-

<PAGE>
        in accordance with GAAP) in excess of $200,000 except if such release of
        material Collateral occurs in connection with a Disposition permitted
        under Section 6.2 or other action permitted under the Loan Documents, in
        which case such release shall not require the consent of any of the
        Lenders; or

                       (e) To amend or waive Article 8 or this Section 11.2; or

                       (f) To amend any provision of this Agreement that
        expressly requires the consent or approval of all the Lenders.

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant
to this Section 11.2 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

               11.3 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrower shall pay within five
(5) Banking Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the
reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents and any amendment thereto or waiver thereof. Borrower shall also pay
on demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the refinancing,
restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) and
enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related thereto. The foregoing
costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording fees, title insurance
fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses and the
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including,
without duplication, reasonably allocated costs of legal counsel employed by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender), independent public accountants and other
outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether or
not such costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender in connection with or during the course of any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings of any Borrower, any other Obligor or any Subsidiary
thereof. Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding
(i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by a Lender's overall net
income imposed on it by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof)
in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending
Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is
"doing business" or (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross
income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to
which it has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms
required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by
applicable Laws and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined
to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder
or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto,
and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on the terms set forth in
Section 11.11 the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any and
all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from
any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge
or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Obligor
(or any Subsidiary thereof) to perform any of its Obligations. Any

                                      -90-

<PAGE>
amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section 11.3
shall bear interest from the fifth Banking Day following the date of demand for
payment at the Default Rate.

               11.4 Nature of Lenders' Obligations. The obligations of the
Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or
thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with
Borrower, any other Obligor or any Affiliate of any Obligor. A default by any
Lender will not increase the Commitment of any other Lender or the Pro Rata
Share of the Facilities attributable to any other Lender. Any Lender not in
default may, if it desires, assume (in such proportion as the nondefaulting
Lenders agree) the obligations of any Lender in default, but no Lender is
obligated to do so.

               11.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or
more of the Parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the
Advances hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or
will be relied upon by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.

               11.6 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan
Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications
provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be in writing and
must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched by commercial courier or
delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature
pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as to any party to
any Loan Document, at any other address as may be designated by it in a written
notice sent to all other parties to such Loan Document in accordance with this
Section. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any
notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or permitted
by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective on the earlier of
receipt or the fourth Banking Day after deposit in the United States mail with
first class or airmail postage prepaid; if given by telegraph or cable, when
delivered to the telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by telecopier,
when sent; if dispatched by commercial courier, on the scheduled delivery date;
or if given by personal delivery, when delivered.

               11.7 Execution of Loan Documents. Unless the Administrative Agent
otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and
any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any
party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed
and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken
together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution
of any such counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the
signature of such party. The execution of this Agreement or any other

                                      -91-

<PAGE>
Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until
counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all
the parties hereto or thereto.

               11.8 Binding Effect; Assignment.

                       (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
        Borrower is a Party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
        Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their
        respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign
        its rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein
        without the prior written consent of all the Lenders. Each Lender
        represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the
        distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933,
        as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Note
        must be within the control of such Lender). Any Lender may at any time
        pledge its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a
        Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such
        pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant
        to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender hereunder absent
        foreclosure of such pledge.

                       (b) From time to time following the Closing Date, each
        Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion
        of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
        portion of its Revolving Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the
        Note or Notes held by it); provided that, subject to subsection (f)
        below, (i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate
        of the assigning Lender, shall be approved by the Administrative Agent
        and Borrower (neither of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld
        or delayed), (ii) such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment
        and Acceptance, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative
        Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iii) except in the case of an assignment
        to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the
        entire remaining rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under
        this Agreement, the assignment shall not assign a portion of such
        assigning Lender's Commitments and/or Advances owing to such assigning
        Lender that is equivalent to less than $5,000,000, and (iv) the
        effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the
        Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date which is five
        (5) Banking Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received
        the Assignment and Acceptance. Upon the effective date of such
        Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be
        a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Commitments and/or
        Advances therein set forth and, to the extent of such Commitments and/or
        Advances, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further
        obligations under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that it shall execute
        and deliver (against delivery by the assigning Lender to Borrower of
        such Lender's Notes) to such assignee Lender, Notes evidencing that
        assignee Lender's Commitments and/or Advances, and to the assigning
        Lender, Notes evidencing the remaining balance of the Commitments and/or
        Advances retained by the assigning Lender.

                                      -92-

<PAGE>
                       (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and
        Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees
        that: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the
        legal and beneficial owner of the rights and obligations hereunder being
        assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning
        Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no
        responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
        representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the
        execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or
        sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the
        assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no
        responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or
        the performance by Borrower of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a
        copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent
        financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 and such other
        documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
        credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and
        Acceptance; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the
        Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and
        information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
        its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
        Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
        take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are
        delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it
        will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which
        by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a
        Lender.

                       (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the
        Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
        delivered to it and a register (the "Register") of the names and address
        of each of the Lenders and the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments held by
        each Lender, giving effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The
        Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection
        by Borrower or any Lender upon reasonable prior notice to the
        Administrative Agent. After receipt of a completed Assignment and
        Acceptance executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee, and receipt
        of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Lender or Eligible Assignee,
        the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the effective date
        thereof, provide to Borrower and the Lenders a revised Schedule 1.1
        giving effect thereto. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
        Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the
        Register as the holders and owners of the Pro Rata Shares of the
        Facilities listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or
        transfer of any Lender's rights and obligations hereunder shall be
        effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment and Acceptance
        effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by
        the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above.
        Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the
        applicable Pro Rata Shares of the Facilities shall be owed to the Lender
        listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority
        or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or
        giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender
        shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or
        transferee of the corresponding Pro Rata Shares of any of the
        Facilities.

                                      -93-

<PAGE>
                       (e) Each Lender may from time to time grant
        participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions in
        or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this
        Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under
        this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
        solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
        such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial
        institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if
        the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections
        3.5, 3.6, 11.11 and 11.21 but only to the extent that the cost of such
        benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would have
        incurred in respect of the Lender granting such participation absent the
        participation, (iv) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other
        Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
        connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
        Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a
        percentage of the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share of each applicable
        Facility as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the
        Facilities (or the aggregate Commitments pertaining thereto), or in the
        granting Lender's rights and obligations hereunder, so long as the
        amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby and (vi)
        the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be
        required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents
        other than those which (A) extend any Amortization Date, any applicable
        Maturity Date or any other date upon which any payment of money is due
        to the Lenders, (B) reduce the rate of interest on the Notes, any fee or
        any other monetary amount payable to the Lenders, (C) reduce the amount
        of any installment of principal due under the Notes, or (D) release any
        Guarantor from its Guaranty.

                       (f) Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence and during
        the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender shall be entitled
        to assign its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents, or grant
        participation interests in its rights under this Agreement and the Loan
        Documents, to any Person, in whole or in any part thereof,
        notwithstanding any provisions contained herein (including those set
        forth in subsection (b) above) or in any other Loan Document to the
        contrary, except that, other than (i) assignments by a Lender to an
        Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or (ii) pledges described
        in the last sentence of subsection (a) above, no assignment shall be
        made without the approval of the Administrative Agent.

               11.9 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with
the consent of the Requisite Lenders) may exercise its rights under Article 9 of
the UCC and other applicable Laws and, to the extent permitted by applicable
Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower
and/or any Property of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations.

               11.10 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender severally agrees that if
it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim
against a Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it
that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in
payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject

                                      -94-

<PAGE>
to applicable Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker's lien
or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be
deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each of the other Lenders a
participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the
other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations
held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or
counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed
prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or
receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of
participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure
that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations
ratably in accordance with each Lender's share of the Obligations immediately
prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or
any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise
of the right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter
recovered from the purchasing Lender by a Borrower or any Person claiming
through or succeeding to the rights of a Borrower, the purchase of a
participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be
restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that
purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 11.10
shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests,
demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect
to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the
purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower
expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender
holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased pursuant to this Section
11.10 may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim
with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original
owner of the Obligation purchased.

               11.11 Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, save
and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective
directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the
"Indemnitees") from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or
causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any
amount excluded from the definition of "Taxes" in Section 3.10(e)) if the claim,
demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or
omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrower, any other Obligor, any
Affiliate of any Obligor or any partner, officer, director, stockholder, or
other equity interest holder of any Obligor relating to any of the Facilities,
the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Borrowing, or the relationship of
Borrower and the Lenders under this Agreement; (b) any administrative or
investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to
a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and
(c) any and all liabilities, losses, reasonable costs or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys
employed by any Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and other
professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the
assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided
that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any liability, loss,
cost or expense caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for
any liability, loss, cost or expense asserted against it by another Indemnitee.
If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any
Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to
so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower's obligations under this

                                      -95-

<PAGE>
Section unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower's right to
participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as
hereinafter provided. Such Indemnitee may (and shall, if requested by Borrower
in writing) contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim,
demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower to participate in
such contest. Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or
proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder
shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or
compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or
proceeding and shall obtain Borrower's prior consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). In connection with any claim, demand, action
or cause of action covered by this Section 11.11 against more than one
Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel
(which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or attorneys employed by an
Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected by the Indemnitees,
provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing
all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws
or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or
counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such
Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of
interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim,
each affected Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal
counsel selected by that Indemnitee, with all such legal counsel using
reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all
Indemnitees; and further provided that the Administrative Agent (as an
Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to representation by separate legal
counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys employed by the Administrative
Agent or a combination of the foregoing). Any obligation or liability of
Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.11 shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Borrowings and the
payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.

               11.12 Nonliability of the Lenders. Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that:

                       (a) Any inspections of any Property of Borrower or any
        other Obligor made by or through the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
        are for purposes of administration of the Facilities only and Borrower
        is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections
        are at the expense of Borrower);

                       (b) By accepting or approving anything required to be
        observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or
        the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative
        Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented
        the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or
        of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or
        approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to
        anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;

                       (c) The relationship between Borrower and the
        Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain,
        solely that of borrower and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent
        nor the Lenders shall under any

                                      -96-

<PAGE>
        circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower,
        any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates; neither the
        Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be
        deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary
        relationship with Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective
        Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower, any other Obligor
        or any of their respective Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent
        nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to
        Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates to
        select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform
        Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates of any
        matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrower,
        any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates; Borrower, the
        other Obligors and their respective Affiliates shall rely entirely upon
        their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review,
        inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information
        undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in
        connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the
        Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other
        Person is entitled to rely thereon; and

                       (d) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be
        responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or
        claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to
        Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower, any
        other Obligor and/or any of their respective Affiliates and Borrower
        hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
        harmless on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 from any such loss,
        damage, liability or claim.

               11.13 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made for the
purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the
Facilities, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders'
successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 11.8 and 11.11, no other
Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

               11.14 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any
confidential information that it may receive from Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to other Lenders or
Affiliates of a Lender; (b) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower, any
other Obligor or any Lender; (c) to other professional advisors to Borrower or
any other Obligor or any Lender, provided that the recipient has accepted such
information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this
Section 11.14; (d) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Lender;
(e) as required by Law or legal process, provided that each Lender agrees to
notify Borrower of any such disclosures unless prohibited by applicable Laws, or
in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender and Borrower or any
other Obligor are adverse parties; and (f) to another financial institution in
connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial
institution of all or part of that Lender's interests hereunder or a
participation interest in its Note(s), provided that the recipient has accepted
such information subject to a confidentiality

                                      -97-

<PAGE>
agreement substantially similar to this Section 11.14. For purposes of the
foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean any information respecting
Borrower or any other Obligor reasonably considered by Borrower to be
confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with any Governmental
Agency and available to the public, (ii) information previously published in any
public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, that Lender, and
(iii) information previously disclosed by Borrower or such other Obligor to any
Person not associated with Borrower or such other Obligor which does not owe a
professional duty of confidentiality to Borrower or such other Obligor or which
has not executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement with Borrower or such
other Obligor. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise
to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to
Borrower or any other Obligor.

Borrower or any other Obligor institutes or consents to the institution of any
proceeding

               11.15 Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at its expense and
without expense to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and
deliver such further acts and documents as the Requisite Lenders or the
Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring and
confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby
created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention
or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document.

               11.16 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents and the letter agreement referred to in Section 3.3, comprises the
complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter
hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement
and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or
remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan
Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document
was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and
shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in
accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

               11.17 Governing Law. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED
THEREIN, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND
PERFORMED IN CALIFORNIA. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS
ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN A
STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY
SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY
HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND HEREBY CONSENT TO THE GRANTING
OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY ANY SUCH COURT.
FURTHERMORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT

                                      -98-

<PAGE>
THEY MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF "FORUM NON CONVENIENS" OR TO OBJECT TO
VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION
11.16.

               11.18 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan
Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any
party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be
inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions
or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other
party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan
Documents are declared to be severable.

               11.19 Headings. Article and Section headings in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and
are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other
purpose.

               11.20 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan
Documents.

               11.21 Foreign Lenders and Participants. Each Lender, and each
holder of a participation interest herein, that is incorporated or otherwise
organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of
America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia shall deliver to
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or before the Closing
Date (or on or before accepting an assignment or receiving a participation
interest herein pursuant to Section 11.8, if applicable) two duly completed
copies, signed by a Responsible Official, of Form W-8 ECI satisfactory to
Borrower and the Administrative Agent that no withholding under the federal
income tax laws is required with respect to such Lender. Thereafter and from
time to time, each such Person shall (a) promptly submit to Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), such additional duly completed and signed
copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from
time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be
available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or
such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any
available exemption from, United States withholding taxes in respect of all
payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and
(b) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Person, and as may be reasonably necessary
(including the re-designation of its Eurodollar Lending Office, if any) to avoid
any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower make any deduction or
withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Person. In the event that
Borrower or the Administrative Agent become aware that a participation has been
granted pursuant to Section 11.8(e) to a financial institution that is
incorporated or otherwise organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
then, upon request made by Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the Lender
that granted such participation, such Lender shall cause such participant
financial institution to deliver the same documents and information to Borrower
and the Administrative Agent as would be required under this Section if such
financial institution were a Lender.

               11.22 Hazardous Material Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from
and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties,
charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial
action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys
employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and expenses to the extent
that the defense of any such action has not been assumed by Borrower), arising
directly or indirectly out of (a) the presence on, in, under or about any Real
Property of any Hazardous Materials, or any releases or discharges of any
Hazardous Materials on, under or from any Real Property and (b) any activity
carried on or undertaken on or off any Real Property by Borrower, any other
Obligor or any of their predecessors in title, whether prior to or during the
term of this Agreement, and whether by Borrower, any other Obligor or any
predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of
Borrower, any other Obligor or any predecessor in title, or any third persons at
any time occupying or present on any Real Property, in connection with the
handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or
disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on, in, under
or about any Real Property. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any
residual contamination on, in, under or about any Real Property, or affecting
any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Property or natural
resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage,
transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of
whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with
applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to Hazardous
Materials on, in, under or about any Real Property, the presence of which is
caused by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Borrower hereby acknowledges
and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Borrower under this
Section shall be unlimited obligations of Borrower and shall not be secured by
any Lien on any Real Property. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any
Indemnitee under this Section 11.22 shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Agreement and the repayment of all Advances and the payment and
performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.

               11.23 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS
AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM,
DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTY HERETO OR
ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED
THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND
CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED
BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN
ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN

TO TRIAL BY JURY.

               11.24 Purported Oral Amendments. BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR
MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF WAIVED OR SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN
INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 11.2. BORROWER AGREES THAT IT
WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR
WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY
LENDER THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH SECTION 11.2 TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT,
MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.
