     (b) In order to facilitate the amendment and restatement contemplated by
this Agreement and otherwise to effectuate the desires of the Borrowers,
simultaneously with the Closing Date, but immediately prior to giving effect to
Section 1.01(f), each Lender party to the Existing Credit Agreement whose
Commitment (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) is being terminated or
decreased (each, a "Retiring Lender" to the extent of the reduction of its
Commitment) shall be deemed to have assigned, without recourse, to Lenders
increasing their Commitment such portion of such Retiring Lender's Loans and
Applicable Percentages of Outstanding Amounts of L/C Obligations and Swing Line
Loans as shall be necessary to effectuate the adjustments in Commitments, Loans
and Applicable Percentage, with the resulting Commitment allocations on the
Closing Date being as set forth in Schedule 2.01 hereto, with respective
Outstanding Amounts of Committed Loans and Applicable Percentages of the
Outstanding Amounts of L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans as registered by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the administration of this Agreement.

     (c) The parties hereby consent to all reallocations and assignments of
Commitments and Outstanding Amounts effected pursuant to Section 1.01(b) and,
subject to Article IV hereof, waive any requirement for any other document or
instrument, including any Assignment and Assumption under the Existing Credit
Facility or hereunder necessary to give effect to any reallocation or
assignment, which shall be deemed effective as if such reallocation or
assignment were evidenced by applicable Assignments and Assumptions under the
Existing Credit Facility and hereunder. On the Closing Date the Lenders shall
make full cash settlement with each other (and with each Retiring Lender),
either directly or through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent
may direct or approve, with respect to all assignments and reallocations in
Commitments as reflected in this Section 1.01 such that after giving effect to
such settlements each Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate
Commitments equals (with customary rounding) its Applicable Percentage of (i)
the Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans, (ii) the Outstanding Amount of
all L/C Obligations, and (iii) the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans.

     (d) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree
that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the
Existing Credit Agreement which in any manner govern or evidence the obligations
arising hereunder, the rights and interests of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and any terms, conditions or matters related to any thereof, shall be
and hereby are amended and restated in their entirety by the terms, conditions
and provisions of this Agreement, and the terms and provisions of the Existing
Credit Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement.

     (e) Notwithstanding this amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit
Agreement, including anything in this Section 1.01, and of any related "Loan
Document" (as

                                        2
<PAGE>
such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and referred to herein,
individually or collectively, as the "Existing Loan Documents"), (i) all of the
indebtedness, liabilities and obligations owing by the Borrowers or any other
Person under the Existing Credit Agreement and other Existing Loan Documents
shall continue as obligations hereunder and (ii) this Agreement is given as a
substitution of, and not as a payment of the indebtedness, liabilities and
obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement and the
Existing Loan Documents.

     (f) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all Loans (as defined in the
Existing Credit Agreement) that are Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Existing
Credit Agreement), shall constitute Loans accruing interest at the Base Rate
hereunder. The parties hereto agree that the Interest Periods for all
Eurocurrency Rate Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the
Closing Date shall be terminated, the Borrower shall pay (on the Closing Date)
all accrued interest with respect to such Loans, together with any additional
amounts required by Section 3.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement, and the
Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent interest rate selection
notices for existing Loans and borrowing notices for additional Loans as may be
required in connection with the allocation of Loans among Lenders in accordance
with their Applicable Percentages.

     1.02 DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall
have the meanings set forth below:

     "Acquisition" means the acquisition of (i) a controlling equity or other
ownership interest in another Person (including upon the exercise of an option,
warrant or convertible or similar type security to acquire such a controlling
interest), whether by purchase of such equity or other ownership interest or
upon exercise of an option or warrant for, or conversion of securities into,
such equity or other ownership interest, or (ii) assets of another Person which
constitute all or substantially all of the assets of such Person or of a line or
lines of business conducted by such Person.

Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith
to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in

Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of

whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in such requested currency.

     (c) Any failure by a Lender to respond to such request within the time
period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by
such Lender to permit Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in such requested
currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders consent to making
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent
shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all

Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to
obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section
1.06, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Company.

                                       28
<PAGE>
currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in
this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any
convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual
of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by
such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state
adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Committed Borrowing
in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such
date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Committed
Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

     (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable
changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time
specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member
state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices
relating to the Euro.

     (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such
reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to

Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Committed

                                       29

any Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Obligor shall not exceed the
Designated Borrower Sublimit, if any, applicable to such Foreign Obligor, and
(iv) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit.
Within the limits of each Lender's Commitment, and subject to the other terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay

Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

     2.02 BORROWINGS, CONVERSIONS AND CONTINUATIONS OF COMMITTED LOANS.

     (a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one
Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be
made upon the Company's irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which
may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 8:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to
the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Committed Loans,
(ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice
Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (iii) on the
requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans. Each telephonic
notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan
Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Company. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and
2.04(c), each Committed Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000
in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written)
shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a
conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the
principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv)
the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans
are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto, (vi) the currency of the Committed Loans to be borrowed, and
(vii) if applicable, the Designated Borrower. If the Company fails to specify a
currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed
Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Company fails to specify a
Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Company fails to
give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans;
provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a
continuation of Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such
Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency
with an Interest Period of one month. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in
effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Company
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest
Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No
Committed Loan may be

                                       30
<PAGE>
converted into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different
currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Committed
Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

     (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable
Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a
conversion or continuation is provided by the Company, the Administrative Agent
shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans or continuation of Committed Loans denominated in a currency other than
Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a
Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan
available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative
Agent's Office for the applicable currency not later than 10:00 a.m., in the
case of any Committed Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the
Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any
Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day
specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the
initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all
funds so received available to the Company or the other applicable Borrower in
like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the
account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such
funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent
by the Company; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan
Notice with respect to such Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the
Company, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such
Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C
Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as
provided above.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be
requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether in
Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required
Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then
outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be
prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent
thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency
Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate
Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the
Lenders of any change in Bank of America's prime rate used in determining the
Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

     (e) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of
Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed
Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in
effect with respect to Committed Loans.

     Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in
     this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the
     period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to
     issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the
     Company or any Designated Borrower, and to amend or extend Letters of
     Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below,
     and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders
     severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account
     of the Company or any Designated Borrower and any drawings thereunder;
     provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect
     to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the
     Aggregate Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
     Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender's Applicable Percentage of
     the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender's
     Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans
     shall not exceed such Lender's Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount
     of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each
     request by the Company for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit
     shall be deemed to be a representation by the Company that the L/C Credit
     Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the
     proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject
     to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company's ability to obtain Letters
     of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Company may, during
     the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit
     that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing
     Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and
     from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the
     terms and conditions hereof.

          (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

               (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such
          requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after
          the date of issuance or last extension, unless such Letter of Credit
          is an Existing Letter of Credit or the Required Lenders have approved
          such expiry date;

               (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would
          occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the
          Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

               (C) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency
          other than Dollars.

          (iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any
     Letter of Credit if:

                                       32
<PAGE>
               (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority
          or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C
          Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to
          the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the
          force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over
          the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain
          from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
          Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect
          to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
          requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated
          hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the
          L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
          applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith
          deems material to it;

               (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or
          more policies of the L/C Issuer;

               (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and
          the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial face amount
          less than $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or
          $500,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;

               (D) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic
          reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

               (E) a default of any Lender's obligations to fund under Section
          2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender
          hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory
          arrangements with the Company or such Lender to eliminate the L/C
          Issuer's risk with respect to such Lender.

          (iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C
     Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit
     in its amended form under the terms hereof.

          (v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of
     Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue
     such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B)
     the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed
     amendment to such Letter of Credit.

          (vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to
     any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith,
     and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A)
     provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts
     taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of
     Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents
     pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term
     "Administrative Agent" as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with
     respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein
     with respect to the L/C Issuer.

                                       33

     (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

          (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may
     be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a
     copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
     Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of
     the Company. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C
     Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 8:00 a.m. at least two
     Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as
     the case may be, or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent
     and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole
     discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of
     Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
     satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the
     requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount
     thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the
     beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary
     in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to
     be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G)
     such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request
     for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
     Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer
     (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment
     thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed
     amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.
     Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the
     Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to
     such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer
     Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

          (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the
     L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
     writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter
     of Credit Application from the Company and, if not, the L/C Issuer will
     provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer
     has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or
     any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of
     issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more
     applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied,
     then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on
     the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company
     (or the applicable Designated Borrower) or enter into the applicable
     amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C
     Issuer's usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the
     issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and
     hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C
     Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to
     the product of such Lender's Applicable Percentage times the amount of such
     Letter of Credit.

          (iii) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
     Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree
     to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each,
     an "Auto-Extension Letter of Credit");

                                       34
<PAGE>
     provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C
     Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month
     period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by
     giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the
     "Non-Extension Notice Date") in each such twelve-month period to be agreed
     upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed
     by the L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a specific
     request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension
     Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have
     authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of
     such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the
     Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer
     shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined
     that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time
     to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the
     terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of
     Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be
     by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days
     before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that
     the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from
     the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the
     applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and
     in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

          (iv) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
     Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree
     to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all
     or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder
     (each, an "Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit"). Unless otherwise directed
     by the L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a specific
     request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an
     Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in
     the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but
     may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated
     amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit
     permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the
     stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such
     non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the
     "Non-Reinstatement Deadline"), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such
     reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in
     writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the
     Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the
     Required Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from
     the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Company that one or more of the
     applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied
     (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of
     this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such
     reinstatement.

          (v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any
     amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or
     to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Company
     and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of
     Credit or amendment.

                                       35

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

          (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any
     notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall
     notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than
     8:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of
     Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Company shall reimburse the
     L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the
     amount of such drawing and in Dollars. If the Company fails to so reimburse
     the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
     each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the
     "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount of such Lender's Applicable
     Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have
     requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the
     Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to
     the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal
     amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized
     portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in
     Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any
     notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
     Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
     writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not
     affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

          (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)
     make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
     Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent's Office for
     Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage
     of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day
     specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to
     the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds
     available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the
     Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so
     received to the L/C Issuer.

          (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully
     refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the
     conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other
     reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an
     L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so
     refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand
     (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In
     such event, each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed
     payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
     constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
     participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

          (iv) Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance
     pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount
     drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's
     Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the
     L/C Issuer.

                                       36
<PAGE>
          (v) Each Lender's obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances
     to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as
     contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional
     and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
     counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
     against the L/C Issuer, the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Person for
     any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or
     (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any
     of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender's obligation to make
     Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the
     conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Company of
     a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or
     otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer
     for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of
     Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

          (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent
     for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such
     Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the
     time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to
     recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on
     demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
     payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
     available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
     Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted
     to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
     amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest
     error.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

          (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any
     Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender's L/C Advance
     in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the
     Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment
     in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether
     directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash
     Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative
     Agent will promptly distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage
     thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
     reflect the period of time during which such Lender's L/C Advance was
     outstanding) in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the
     Administrative Agent.

          (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be
     returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05
     (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its
     discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of
     the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
     demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per
     annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The
     obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in
     full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

                                       37
<PAGE>
     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C
Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including the following:

          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit,
     this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

          (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or
     other right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against
     any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person
     for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the
     L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement,
     the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any
     agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

          (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under
     such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or
     otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
     Letter of Credit;

          (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
     presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with
     the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer
     under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in
     bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
     liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
     beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any
     arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

          (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
     similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that
     might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the
     Company or any Subsidiary.

     The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Company's instructions or other irregularity, the Company
will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Company shall be conclusively deemed
to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents
unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying
any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer,
the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any
Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request
or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders,

                                       38
<PAGE>
as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness,
validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter
of Credit or Issuer Document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts
or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to,
and shall not, preclude the Company's pursuing such rights and remedies as it
may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other
agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their
respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the
L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in
such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim
against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or
exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused
by the L/C Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's
willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it
by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with
the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on
their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation,
regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer
shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit
or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

     (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if
the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter
of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains
outstanding, the Company shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the
then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set
forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For
purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 8.02(c), "Cash
Collateralize" means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the
L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer
(which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such
term have corresponding meanings. The Company hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a
security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein
and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in
blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.

     (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
L/C Issuer and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such
agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP
shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the
International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each
commercial Letter of Credit.

                                       39

     (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") for each Letter
of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily maximum amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum
amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit). Letter of Credit Fees
shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable
on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the
daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied
by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of
Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

     (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
Issuer. The Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a
fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at the rate
specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit,
and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a
commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a
rate separately agreed between the Company and the L/C Issuer, computed on the
amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment,
and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum
specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the actual daily maximum amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum
amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) and on a quarterly basis
in arrears, and due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each
March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to
occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Company shall pay
directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and
charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in
effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable
on demand and are nonrefundable.

     (k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between
the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall
control.

     (l) Letters of Credit Issued for Designated Borrowers. Notwithstanding that
a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any
obligations of, or is for the account of, a Designated Borrower, each of the
Company and such Designated Borrower, jointly and severally, shall be obligated
to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter
of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of
Credit for the account of Designated Borrowers inures to the benefit of the
Company, and that the Company's business derives substantial benefits from the
businesses of such Designated Borrowers.

     2.04 SWING LINE LOANS.

     (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other
Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans in Dollars (each such
loan, a "Swing Line Loan") to the Company from time to time on any Business Day
during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that
such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting
as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender's Commitment;
provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the
Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing
Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender's Commitment, and provided, further,
that (i) the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to
refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under
this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section
2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the
making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a
risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of
such Lender's Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the
Company's irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the
requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which
shall be a minimum of $1,000,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which
shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly
by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written
Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Company. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any
telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender
will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the
contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone
or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Lender) prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A)
directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of
the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section
2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 12:00 noon on the borrowing
date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line
Loan available to the Company at its office by crediting the account of the
Company on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

                                       41

     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

          (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute
     discretion may request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably
     authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each
     Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's
     Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.
     Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be
     deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance
     with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and
     multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans,
     but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the
     conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish
     the Company with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly
     after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall
     make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified
     in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in
     immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
     Administrative Agent's Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later
     than 10:00 a.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice,
     whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds
     available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the
     Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so
     received to the Swing Line Lender.

          (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by
     such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the
     request for Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as
     set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender
     that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing
     Line Loan and each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be
     deemed payment in respect of such participation.

          (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
     Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be
     paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
     2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender
     shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
     Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
     period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such
     payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per
     annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A
     certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the
     Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause
     (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (iv) Each Lender's obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase
     and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section
     2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
     any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
     defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line
     Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
     occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence,

                                       42
<PAGE>
     event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
     provided, however, that each Lender's obligation to make Committed Loans
     pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
     Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or
     otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Loans,
     together with interest as provided herein.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

          (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk
     participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any
     payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will
     promptly distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such
     payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
     reflect the period of time during which such Lender's risk participation
     was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

          (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of
     principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by
     the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section
     10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line
     Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender
     its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent,
     plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount
     is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The
     Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing
     Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive
     the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
     Agreement.

     (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall
be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line Loans.
Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation
pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender's Applicable Percentage
of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall
be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

     (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Company shall make all
payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly
to the Swing Line Lender.

     2.05 PREPAYMENTS. (a) Each Borrower may, upon notice from the Company to
the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 8:00
a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) four Business Days (or five, in the case
of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any
date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies, and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii)
any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars shall be in a
principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof; (iii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iv) any prepayment of Base
Rate

                                       43
<PAGE>
Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal
amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and,
if Eurocurrency Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each
such notice, and of the amount of such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the applicable Borrower
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall
be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

     (b) The Company may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such
prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000. Each such
notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is
given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein.

     (c) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the
Total Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 102% of the Aggregate
Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such
notice, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans and/or the Company shall Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce
such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed
100% of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant
to this Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the
Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect. The
Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial
deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be
provided in order to protect against the results of further exchange rate
fluctuations.

     (d) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the
Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such
time exceeds an amount equal to 102% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then
in effect, then, within four Business Days after receipt of such notice, the
Borrowers shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such
Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of
the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect.

     2.06 TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS. The Company may, upon notice
to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time
to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such
notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 8:00 a.m.
five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such
partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Company shall not

                                       44
<PAGE>
terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto
and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed
the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of
the Aggregate Commitments, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of
Credit Sublimit, any Designated Borrower Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit
exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be
automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction
of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall
be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable
Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the
Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

     2.07 REPAYMENT OF LOANS. (a) Each Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on
the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans made to such
Borrower outstanding on such date.

     (b) The Company shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of
(i) the date ten days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date.

     2.08 INTEREST. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i)
each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the
case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending
Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory
Cost; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate.

     (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due
     (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated
     maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear
     interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
     Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

          (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the
     Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to
     any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
     or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount
     shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at
     all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
     applicable Laws.

          (iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of
     Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of
     all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per
     annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
     permitted by applicable Laws.

                                       45
<PAGE>
          (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including
     interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

     (d) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), to the extent it may be
applicable, (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated
on the basis of a year (the "deemed year") that contains fewer days than the
actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest
or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of
interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of
calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the
principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest
calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are
intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

     2.09 FEES. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j)
of Section 2.03:

     (a) Facility Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a facility
fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of the
Aggregate Commitments (or, if the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, on the
Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C
Obligations), regardless of usage. The facility fee shall accrue at all times
during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Committed Loans,
Swing Line Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall
be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on
demand). The facility fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there
is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

     (b) Utilization Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a
utilization fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the Total
Outstandings on each day that the Total Outstandings exceed 33% of the actual
daily amount of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect (or, if terminated, in
effect immediately prior to such termination). The utilization fee shall be due
and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The utilization fee shall be calculated
quarterly in arrears. The utilization fee shall accrue at all times, including
at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met.

                                       46
<PAGE>
     (c) Other Fees. (i) The Company shall pay to Banc of America Securities LLC
and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees
in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be
fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

     (ii) The Company shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall
have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so
specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable
for any reason whatsoever.

     2.10 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. All computations of interest for
Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America's "prime
rate" shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall
be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis
of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Committed Loans
denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from
the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on
each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan,
or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,
provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall,
subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     2.11 EVIDENCE OF DEBT. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall
be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by
the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by
the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure
to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the
request of any Lender to a Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, such
Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender's Loans to such Borrower in
addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note
and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and
maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

     (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a),
each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such
Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event
of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error.

     2.12 PAYMENTS GENERALLY; ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S CLAWBACK. (a) General. All
payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and
interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the
Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable
Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than
11:00 a.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and
interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such
payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent's Office in such
Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time
specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require
that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for
any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required
payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such
payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment
amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its
Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such
payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending
Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 11:00 a.m.,
in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified
by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency,
shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and
any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be
made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

     (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
     Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
     proposed date of any Committed Borrowing (or, in the case of any Base Rate
     Committed Loan requested on the same day that the applicable Committed Loan
     Notice is delivered, by 9:00 a.m. on the date of such Committed Loan
     Notice) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative
     Agent such Lender's share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative
     Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such
     date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such
     assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding
     amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
     applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then
     the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to
     the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in
     Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
     date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the
     date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a
     payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (B) in the case
     of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
     Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest
     to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
     Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of

                                       48
<PAGE>
     such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays
     its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative
     Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Committed
     Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower
     shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a
     Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative
     Agent.

          (ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
     Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower
     prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent
     for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such
     Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume
     that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance
     herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
     Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such
     event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
     Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to
     the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to
     such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for
     each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to
     but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
     Overnight Rate.

     A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect
     to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
     manifest error.

     (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available
to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any
Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such
funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent
because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article
IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received
from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

     (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit
and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are
several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to
fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any
date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its
participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

     (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender
to obtain the funds for any Loan 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 Loan in any particular place or manner.

                                       49
<PAGE>
     2.13 SHARING OF PAYMENTS BY LENDERS. If any Lender shall, by exercising any
right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any
principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in
such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such
Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its
pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and
subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders,
or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

          (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and
     all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
     participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase
     price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

          (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to
     (x) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
     express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
     consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of
     its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
     Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any
     Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
     apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such
Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.

     2.14 DESIGNATED BORROWERS. (a) Effective as of the date hereof Logistics
shall be a "Designated Borrower" hereunder and may receive Loans for its account
on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     (b) The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days'
notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as
may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any
additional direct or indirect, wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, as a Designated
Borrower (an "Applicant Borrower") to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to
the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to
each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of
Exhibit G (a "Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement"). The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower
becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received such supporting
resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or

                                       50
<PAGE>
information, in form and content satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as
may be required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in their
reasonable discretion, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any
Lenders so require. If the Administrative Agent agrees that an Applicant
Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans hereunder, then promptly following
receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of
counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send
a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit H (a "Designated Borrower Notice")
to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the
Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof,
whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to
receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each
of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a
Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided (x) that no Committed Loan
Notice or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such
Designated Borrower until the date five Business Days after such effective date;
(y) if the Dollar Equivalent of Credit Extensions to be made available to an
Applicant Borrower that will be a Foreign Obligor are to exceed $10,000,000 in
the aggregate, or, when added to the Dollar Equivalent of Credit Extensions
extended or available to all Foreign Obligors, exceed $50,000,000 in the
aggregate, such Applicant shall, as a condition precedent to becoming a
Designated Borrower, cause, at its sole cost and expense, such local counsel
opinions to be delivered to the Administrative Agent in form and substance and
from counsel satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and (z) if, at any time,
the Dollar Equivalent of the Credit Extensions to be made available to a
Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Obligor exceed $10,000,000 in the
aggregate or, when added to the Dollar Equivalent of Credit Extensions extended
or available to all Foreign Obligors, exceed $50,000,000, in the aggregate, then
such Designated Borrower shall, as a condition precedent to obtaining any Credit
Extension, cause, at its sole cost and expense, such local counsel opinions to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent (unless such opinions with respect to such Designated
Borrower have previously been delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
and in accordance with this Agreement). Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a
Designated Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall at all times remain a
direct or indirect, wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company for so long as such
Person is a Designated Borrower.

     (c) The Obligations of all Designated Borrowers shall be several in nature
with respect to the repayment of principal and interest, letter of credit
fronting fees, and reimbursement and other similar obligations with respect to
only the Borrowings made by, and Letters of Credit issued on behalf of, such
Designated Borrower, provided, that (i) the foregoing shall not limit the
unconditional and irrevocable obligation of the Company with respect thereto
pursuant to the Guaranty, and (ii) all of the Borrowers shall be responsible,
jointly and severally, for facility fees, indemnification obligations,
reimbursement of costs and other similar obligations hereunder.

     (d) Each Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a Designated Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2.14 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its
agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution
and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein
and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans
made by the Lenders, to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any

                                       51
<PAGE>
acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might
otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by
each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only
by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any
notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other
communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

     (e) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 10 Business Days'
notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as
may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a
Designated Borrower's status as such, provided that there are no outstanding
Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such
Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date
of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders
of any such termination of a Designated Borrower's status.

     2.15 OPTIONAL INCREASE IN COMMITMENTS.

     (a) Proposal of Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to
the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Company
may from time to time, propose an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an
amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $50,000,000; provided that (i)
there shall have been no prior reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) any
such proposal of an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (iii)
the Company may make a maximum of two such proposals, and (iv) the Borrowers
shall inform existing Lenders of such proposed increase and existing Lenders may
offer to commit to such increased amount; provided further, however, that
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Borrowers shall be required to accept
any such offer from any existing Lender; and provided, further, that the
Borrowers may also allow any other Person or Persons that constitute Eligible
Assignees to offer to commit to such increased amount. At the time of sending
such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall
specify the time period within which each existing Lender and each other Person
is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days
from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

     (b) Lender Offers to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative
Agent within such time period whether or not it offers to increase its
Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than
its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding
within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to offer to increase
its Commitment.

     (c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Company of the Lenders' responses to each request made hereunder.

     (d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are
increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the
Company shall determine the effective date (the "Increase Effective Date") and
the final allocation of such increase (which allocation may or may not include
any of the existing Lenders that have offered to increase their

                                       52
<PAGE>
Commitments). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the
Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective
Date.

     (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to
such increase,

          (i) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
     certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in
     sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such
     Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such
     Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of
     the Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such
     increase, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and
     the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase
     Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and
     warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are
     true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of
     this Section 2.15, the representations and warranties contained in
     subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the
     most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b),
     respectively, of Section 6.01, and (2) no Default exists; and

          (ii) and each Person (other than an existing Lender) that will (in
     accordance with the allocation described in clause (d) above) commit to any
     of such increase shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a joinder
     agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
     and its counsel, whereby such Person shall agree to be bound by this Credit
     Agreement as a Lender.

The Borrowers shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase
Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable
with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in
the Commitments under this Section.

     (f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Sections 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

                                  ARTICLE III.
                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.01 TAXES.

     (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the respective Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding
for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the applicable
Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes
(including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall
be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had

                                       53
<PAGE>
no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and
(iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the
provisions of subsection (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by a Lender or
the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C
Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

     (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable
the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Nothing
in this subsection shall require any Lender to make available its tax returns
(or any other information related to its taxes that it deems to be confidential)
except as required by any applicable Law or Governmental Authority.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a
Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender
shall deliver to Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and

                                       54
<PAGE>
from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the
Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do
so), whichever of the following is applicable:

          (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
     claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
     United States is a party,

          (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

          (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
     exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
     certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank"
     within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent
     shareholder" of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of section
     881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation"
     described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies
     of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

          (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for
     claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding
     tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be
     prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to determine the
     withholding or deduction required to be made.

Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above regarding
delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each Lender's status for
U.S. withholding tax purposes, each Lender agrees promptly to deliver to the
Administrative Agent or the Company, as the Administrative Agent or the Company
shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely
fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any relevant
taxing authorities under the Laws of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and
completed by such Lender, as are required under such Laws to confirm, if
applicable, such Lender's entitlement to any available exemption from, or
reduction of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made
to such Lender outside of the U.S. by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement
or otherwise to establish such Lender's status for withholding tax purposes in
such other jurisdiction. Each Lender shall promptly (i) notify the
Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render
invalid any such claimed exemption or reduction, and (ii) take such steps as
shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of
such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of
its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any such
jurisdiction that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from
amounts payable to such Lender. Additionally, each of the Borrowers shall
promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the
Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms
required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction,
duly executed and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by
such Lender or the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any
payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or
otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such
jurisdiction.

                                       55
<PAGE>
     (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any
Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to
require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available
its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

     3.02 ILLEGALITY. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund
Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative
Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency
Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the
authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or
any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the
affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in
Dollars, to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall
be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are
denominated in Dollars, convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender
to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to
such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the
Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

     3.03 INABILITY TO DETERMINE RATES. If the Required Lenders determine that
for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or
an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable
offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested
Interest Period with

                                       56
<PAGE>
respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or
an Alternative Currency), or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the
Company and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or
maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may
revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that,
will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

     3.04 INCREASED COSTS; RESERVES ON EUROCURRENCY RATE LOANS.

     (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

          (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
     compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
     deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in
     by, any Lender (except (A) any reserve requirement contemplated by Section
     3.04(e) and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial
     Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory
     Cost, other than as set forth below) or the L/C Issuer;

          (ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind
     whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any
     participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or
     change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer
     in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
     Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
     Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer);

          (iii) cause the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, not to
     represent the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of the
     Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European
     Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency
     Rate Loans; or

          (iv) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank
     market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or
     Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
     participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or
of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of
Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Company will
pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

                                       57
<PAGE>
     (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that
any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office
of such Lender or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any,
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's capital or on the capital of such
Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of
Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the
L/C Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or
the L/C Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the
Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C
Issuer's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

     (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate (which shall include
calculations in reasonable detail) of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or
its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b)
of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to
pay) such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the
L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's right
to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to
compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than
nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).

     (e) Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The Company shall pay (or cause
the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, as long as such
Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or
assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently
known as "Eurocurrency liabilities"), additional interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of
such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be
due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided
the Company shall have received at least 10 days' prior notice (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a
Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date,
such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such
notice.

                                       58
<PAGE>
     3.05 COMPENSATION FOR LOSSES. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly compensate
(or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to compensate) such Lender for and
hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a
result of:

     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise);

     (b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of
such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan
other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company
or the applicable Designated Borrower;

     (c) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan (or interest
due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or
any payment thereof in a different currency; or

     (d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last
day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company
pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from
fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or
from the performance of any foreign exchange contract, but excluding any loss of
anticipated profits. The Company shall also pay (or cause the applicable
Designated Borrower to pay) any customary administrative fees charged by such
Lender in connection with the foregoing.

     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the
applicable Designated Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each
Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at
the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in
the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for
a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so
funded.

     3.06 MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

     (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant
to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay (or to cause
the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

     (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, the Company may replace such Lender in accordance with Section
10.13.

     3.07 SURVIVAL. All of the Borrowers' obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all
other Obligations hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable

or (d) (or, with respect to any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, in each
case referred to in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d)), to the extent that failure to
do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.02 AUTHORIZATION; NO CONTRAVENTION. The execution, delivery and

organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any

operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly
noted therein; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other liabilities,
direct or contingent, of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date

material indebtedness or other liabilities, direct or contingent, including
liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness, except for such
indebtedness and liabilities reflected on Schedule 7.03 and other indebtedness
and liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.

     (b) The unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheet of the
Company and its Subsidiaries dated April 2, 2005, and the related consolidated
and consolidating statements of income or operations for the fiscal quarter

could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (d) The consolidated forecasted balance sheet and statements of income and
cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section
6.01(c) were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated
therein, which assumptions were fair in light of the conditions existing at the
time of delivery of such forecasts, and represented, at the time of delivery,
the Company's best estimate of its future financial performance.

     (e) Schedule 7.03 sets forth all Indebtedness owed by any Borrower to any
Subsidiary as of the Closing Date (other than Indebtedness owed by the Borrower
to Avnet Receivables Corporation in connection with the Existing Securitization

     5.06 LITIGATION. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or
disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Company after due and diligent
investigation, threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any
Governmental Authority, by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or

has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold
interests in, all real property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its
business, except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
property of the Company and its Subsidiaries is subject to no Liens, other than
Liens permitted by Section 7.01.

     5.09 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. The Company and its Subsidiaries conduct in
the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental
Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of
any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties,
and as a result thereof the Company has reasonably concluded that such
Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.10 INSURANCE. The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain, with financially
sound and responsible insurance companies or through self-insurance, insurance
on all their respective properties in at least such amounts and against such
risks (and with such risk retention) as are usually insured against in the same

business.

and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid
all Federal, state and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other

assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP. There is no proposed tax
assessment against the Company or any Subsidiary that would, if made, have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is
party to any tax sharing agreement.

     5.12 ERISA COMPLIANCE.

     (a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state Laws. Each Plan that is
intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable
determination letter from the IRS or an application for such a letter is
currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the best
knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of
such qualification that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required
contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no
application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period
pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.

     (b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company,
threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority,
with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the
fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       65

under Section 4007 of ERISA); (v) neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate
has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has
occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would
result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a
Multiemployer Plan; and (vi) neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has
engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of

                                       84
<PAGE>
Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount
shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

                                  ARTICLE IX.
                              ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     9.01 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORITY. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither any Borrower
nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any
of such provisions.

     9.02 RIGHTS AS A LENDER. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the
financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and
without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

     9.03 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent:

     (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

     (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

     (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their
respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving
as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

                                       85
<PAGE>
     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

     9.04 RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting
or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to
the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms
must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of
such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

     9.05 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

     9.06 RESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent may at
any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the
Company. Upon receipt

                                       86
<PAGE>
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank
with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an
office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set
forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company
and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then
such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and
the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the
acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative
Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

     Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged
from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit
in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of
such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C
Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with
respect to such Letters of Credit.

     9.07 NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Lender
and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or

                                       87
<PAGE>
based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or
any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

     9.08 NO OTHER DUTIES, ETC. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the
cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

     9.09 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal
of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed
or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise to, and shall, at the
direction of the Required Lenders:

     (a) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and
all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and

     (b) collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09
and 10.04.

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to
authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender
in any such proceeding.

Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the
Company or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing
signed by the Required Lenders and the Company or the applicable Loan Party, as
the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the

to waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees
at the Default Rate;

     (e) change Section 2.13 or Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter the

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above,
affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer

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

     10.02 NOTICES; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION.

     (a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other
communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as

courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier as
follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder
to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as
follows:

          (i) if to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or
     the Swing Line Lender, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail
     address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02;

     Questionnaire.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or
registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent
by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not

recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent
provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such
subsection (b).

     (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communication (including e mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to
procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Article
II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the
Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such
Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Company
may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it
hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it,
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices
or communications. Promptly upon request therefor, the Administrative Agent
shall provide any Lender requesting same with a hard copy of any particular
notice or other communication delivered by the Administrative Agent hereunder by
electronic communication;

                                       90
<PAGE>
provided that the failure to deliver any such hard copy shall not render any
electronic notice or communication ineffective.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender's receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by
the "return receipt requested" function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is
not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on
the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications
posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the
deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in
the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is
available and identifying the website address therefor. Any Person shall be
permitted to provide more than one e-mail address if it so requires and all
matters notified by e-mail shall be sent to each such address so specified;
provided that (x) the deemed receipt by any intended recipient shall be
sufficient notice hereunder to such Person, whether or not such e-mail
notification shall have been deemed received by all intended recipients, and (y)
the foregoing shall not apply to any notice or communication pursuant to Article

THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT
PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the
"Agent Parties") have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer
or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any
kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower's or
the Administrative Agent's transmission of Borrower Materials through the
Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any
Agent Party have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or
any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

     (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address,
telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by
notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address,
telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by
notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing
Line Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent
from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an
effective address,

                                       91
<PAGE>
contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to
which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire
instructions for such Lender.

     (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely
and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing
Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i)
such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were
not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii)
the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof. The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer,
each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs,
expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each
notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower. All telephonic notices
to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be
recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby
consents to such recording.

     10.03 NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure by any Lender, the L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person
in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

     10.04 EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER.

     (a) Costs and Expenses. The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and
documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its

by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii)

any Lender or the L/C Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection
of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan

the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of
pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

     (b) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C
Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person
being called an "Indemnitee")

                                       92
<PAGE>
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for
attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or

other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual
or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of its

or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort
or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any
other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto,
in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of
the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim
brought by the Company or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach
in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, if the Company or such other Loan Party has obtained a final and
nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.

     (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Company for any reason
fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of
this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender's Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount,
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing
acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

     (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim
against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions

                                       93
<PAGE>
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.

     (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later

the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all the other Obligations.

     10.05 PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender,
or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of
setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of
such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender
and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon
demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered
from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date
of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable
currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     10.06 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender
and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions
of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge
or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection
(f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the
extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the

                                       94
<PAGE>
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or
more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans
(including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C
Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that

          (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount
     of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it
     or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or
     an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the
     Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder)
     or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
     balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
     assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
     respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
     "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
     Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative
     Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
     the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably
     withheld or delayed);

          (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
     proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
     under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned,
     except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing
     Line Loans;

          (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the
     Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender unless the
     Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the
     proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

          (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
     Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
     processing and recordation fee of $2,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it
     shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
     Administrative Questionnaire

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of

                                       95
<PAGE>
such assignment. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section.

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by each of the Borrowers and the L/C Issuer at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition,
at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to
the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders
in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a
copy of the Register.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person or the Company or any of the Company's
Affiliates or Subsidiaries ) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such
Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it);
provided 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 and (iii) the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.
Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted
by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

     (e) Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Company's prior written consent. A Participant that
would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section

                                       96
<PAGE>
3.01 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to
comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

     (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time, without notice to or
consent of any Person, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any)
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to
secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words "execution," "signed,"
"signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be
deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in
any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act,
or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act.

     (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank
of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b)
above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days' notice to the Company and the
Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days' notice to the Company,
resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the
Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided,
however, that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall
affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as
the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all
the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all
Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C
Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to
require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of
America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the
Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made
by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including
the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

     10.07 TREATMENT OF CERTAIN INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep
such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National

                                       97
<PAGE>
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
a Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to
the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company.

     For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received
from the Company or any Subsidiary relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or
any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary,
provided that, in the case of information received from the Company or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the
time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it
has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

     10.08 SET-OFF. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations
of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured
or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different
from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their
respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify
the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any

                                       98
<PAGE>
such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

     10.09 INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the "Maximum Rate"). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it
exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether
the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or
a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in
equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations hereunder.

     10.10 COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except
as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     10.11 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

     10.12 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

                                       99
<PAGE>
     10.13 REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents
required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment), provided that:

     (a) the Company shall have paid (or caused a Designated Subsidiary to pay)
to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

     (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Company or applicable Designated Subsidiary (in the case of all other amounts);

     (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter; and

     (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

     A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation
if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

     10.14 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC.

     (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW
YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF
NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING

OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL

                                      100
<PAGE>
JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE
ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL
AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY
OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS
PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

     (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF
THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

     (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE
OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02(a). NOTHING IN
THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW; PROVIDED, THAT NO ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATION SHALL CONSTITUTE SERVICE OF PROCESS HEREUNDER.

     10.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     10.16 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as
hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf
of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements
of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and

                                      101
<PAGE>
address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or
the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance
with the Act.

     10.17 JUDGMENT CURRENCY. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document
in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that
at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent
could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day
preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower
in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any
judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such
sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on
the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in
accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with
the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is
less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower
in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the
Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return
the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be
entitled thereto under applicable law).

                                                                SCHEDULE 1.02(B)

                             MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

1    The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the
     interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with:

     (a)  the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services
          Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all
          or any of its functions); or

     (b)  the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2.   On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as practicable
     thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate,
     a rate (the "Additional Cost Rate") for each Lender, in accordance with the
     paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the
     Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost
     Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each
     Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per
     annum. The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Company or any
     Lender, deliver to the Company or such Lender as the case may be, a
     statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory Cost.

3.   The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a
     Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender
     to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by such
     Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent as the cost (expressed as
     a percentage of such Lender's participation in all Loans made from such
     Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the
     European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Lending Office.

4.   The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in
     the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as
     follows:

     (a)  in relation to any Loan in Sterling:

                      AB+C(B-D)+E x 0.01 per cent per annum
                      ------------------
                          100 - (A+C)

     (b)  in relation to any Loan in any currency other than Sterling:

                           E x 0.01 per cent per annum
                           --------
                              300

Where:

     "A"  is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in
          excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time
          required to maintain as

                                Schedule 1.02(b)
                                     Page 1
<PAGE>
          an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply
          with cash ratio requirements.

     "B"  is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate, the
          Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to
          the first sentence of Section 2.08(b) and, in the case of interest
          (other than on overdue amounts) charged at the Default Rate, without
          counting any increase in interest rate effected by the charging of the
          Default Rate) payable for the relevant Interest Period of such Loan.

     "C"  is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender
          is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special
          Deposits with the Bank of England.

     "D"  is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the
          Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

     "E"  is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees
          Regulations and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the
          average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Lenders to
          the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed
          in pounds per L1,000,000.

5.   For the purposes of this Schedule:

     (a)  "Eligible Liabilities" and "Special Deposits" have the meanings given
          to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act
          1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

     (b)  "Fees Regulations" means the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law
          or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the
          payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

     (c)  "Fee Tariffs" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Regulations
          under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum
          fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Regulations but
          taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

     (d)  "Tariff Base" has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated
          in accordance with, the Fees Regulations.

6.   In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the
     formulae as percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and
     not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be
     taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal
     places.

7.   If requested by the Administrative Agent or the Company, each Lender with a
     Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall,
     as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services
     Authority, supply to the

                                Schedule 1.02(b)
                                     Page 2
<PAGE>
     Administrative Agent and the Company, the rate of charge payable by such
     Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Regulations
     in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services
     Authority (calculated for this purpose by such Lender as being the average
     of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and
     expressed in pounds per L1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Lender.

8.   Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative
     Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In
     particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following
     information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a
     Lender:

     (a)  its jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction of the Lending
          Office out of which it is making available its participation in the
          relevant Loan; and

     (b)  any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably
          require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any
change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

9.   The percentages or rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of A, C
     and E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the
     information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the
     assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the
     contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits,
     Special Deposits and the Fees Regulations are the same as those of a
     typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Lending Office
     in the same jurisdiction as such Lender's Lending Office.

10.  The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such
     determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over- or
     under-compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the
     information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above
     is true and correct in all respects.

11.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received
     as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the
     Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by
     each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12.  Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in
     relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any
     amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
     conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

13.  The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the
     Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments
     which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any
     change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by
     the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European
     Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which

                                Schedule 1.02(b)
                                     Page 3

     replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in
     the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties
     hereto.

irrevocably guarantees to each Secured Party the payment and performance in full
of the Guaranteed Liabilities (as defined below). For all purposes of this
Guaranty Agreement, "Guaranteed Liabilities" means: (a) each Designated
Borrower's prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such
times, of all Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, the Notes, and all other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at
any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from such Designated
Borrower to any one or more of the Secured Parties, including principal,
interest, premiums and fees (including, but not limited to, loan fees and fees
and expenses of counsel); and (b) each Designated Borrower's prompt, full and
faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement,
undertaking, covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by
such Designated Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and all other
Loan Documents. The Guarantor's obligations to the Secured Parties under this
Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Guarantor's
Obligations".

     The Guarantor agrees that it is directly and primarily liable for the
     Guaranteed Liabilities.

     2. PAYMENT. If any Designated Borrower shall default in payment or
performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether principal, interest,
premium, fee (including, but not limited to, loan fees and fees and expenses of
counsel), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after
expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, then
the Guarantor will, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, fully pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount equal to
all the Guaranteed Liabilities then due and owing.

     3. ABSOLUTE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. This is a guaranty of payment and not
of collection. The Guarantor's Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall
be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby
expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense to its obligations
under this Guaranty Agreement by reason of:

          (a) any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit
     Agreement, of any of the Notes, of any other Loan Document, or of any other
     agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise
     relating to any of the Guarantor's Obligations, any of the Guaranteed
     Liabilities, or any other guaranty of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities
     (the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being
     collectively referred to as the "Related Agreements");

          (b) any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise
     of any right or power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce
     any right conferred thereby, or any waiver of any covenant or condition
     therein provided;

          (c) any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Guaranteed
     Liabilities or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under
     any of the Related Agreements;

                                      F - 2
                                Form of Guaranty
<PAGE>
          (d) any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection,
     disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of
     the Guaranteed Liabilities, for any of the Guarantor's Obligations, or for
     any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related
     Agreements;

          (e) any dissolution of any Designated Borrower or any other party to a
     Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of any Designated
     Borrower or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another
     entity or any transfer or disposition of any assets of any Designated
     Borrower or any other party to a Related Agreement;

          (f) any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for
     payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any
     acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change in the amount
     of any borrowings or any credit facilities available under, the Credit
     Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related
     Agreement, in whole or in part;

          (g) the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or
     impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security
     therefor) of the Guaranteed Liabilities (including without limitation
     obligations arising under any other guaranty now or hereafter in effect);

          (h) any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent
     to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in the
     Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement,
     including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or
     performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or any of the obligations
     or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement;

          (i) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or
     knowledge of the Guarantor) which may or might in any manner or to any
     extent vary the risks of the Guarantor, or might otherwise constitute a
     legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a
     guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that
     resort be had to any Designated Borrower or to any collateral in respect of
     the Guaranteed Liabilities or Guarantor's Obligations.

It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Guaranty
Agreement and the Guarantor's Obligations hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except
by payment as herein provided.

     4. CURRENCY AND FUNDS OF PAYMENT. All Guarantor's Obligations will be paid
in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available
funds, regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect
that might in any manner affect the Guaranteed Liabilities, or the rights of any
Secured Party with respect thereto as against any Designated Borrower, or cause
or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment
by any Designated Borrower of any or all of the Guaranteed Liabilities.

<PAGE>
     5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2 hereof,
in the event that there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default, then
notwithstanding any collateral or other security or credit support for the
Guaranteed Liabilities, at the Administrative Agent's election and without
notice thereof or demand therefor, the Guarantor's Obligations shall immediately
be and become due and payable.

     6. SUITS. The Guarantor from time to time shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand, at the Administrative
Agent's place of business set forth in the Credit Agreement or such other
address as the Administrative Agent shall give notice of to the Guarantor, the
Guarantor's Obligations as they become or are declared due, and in the event
such payment is not made forthwith, the Administrative Agent may proceed to suit
against the Guarantor. At the Administrative Agent's election, one or more and
successive or concurrent suits may be brought hereon by the Administrative Agent
against the Guarantor, whether or not suit has been commenced against any
Designated Borrower or any other Person and whether or not the Secured Parties
have taken or failed to take any other action to collect all or any portion of
the Guaranteed Liabilities or have taken or failed to take any actions against
any collateral securing payment or performance of all or any portion of the
Guaranteed Liabilities, and irrespective of any event, occurrence, or condition
described in Section 3 hereof.

     7. SET-OFF AND WAIVER. The Guarantor waives any right to assert against any
Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in
respect of its Guarantor's Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or
other claim which the Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against
any Designated Borrower or any or all of the Secured Parties without waiving any
additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available
to the Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that each Secured Party shall have a lien
for all the Guarantor's Obligations upon all deposits or deposit accounts, of
any kind, or any interest in any deposits or deposit accounts, now or hereafter
pledged, mortgaged, transferred or assigned to such Secured Party or otherwise
in the possession or control of such Secured Party for any purpose (other than
solely for safekeeping) for the account or benefit of the Guarantor, including
any balance of any deposit account or of any credit of the Guarantor with the
Secured Party, whether now existing or hereafter established, and hereby
authorizes each Secured Party from and after the occurrence of an Event of
Default at any time or times with or without prior notice to apply such balances
or any part thereof to such of the Guarantor's Obligations to the Secured
Parties then due and in such amounts as provided for in the Credit Agreement or
otherwise as they may elect. For the purposes of this Section 7, all remittances
and property shall be deemed to be in the possession of a Secured Party as soon
as the same may be put in transit to it by mail or carrier or by other bailee.

     8. WAIVER OF NOTICE; SUBROGATION.

          (a) The Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice
     of the following events or occurrences: (i) acceptance of this Guaranty
     Agreement; (ii) the Lenders' heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter
     making Loans and issuing Letters of Credit and otherwise loaning monies or
     giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of any Designated Borrower
     or otherwise entering into arrangements with any Designated Borrower giving
     rise to Guaranteed Liabilities, whether pursuant to the Credit

                                      F - 4
                                Form of Guaranty
<PAGE>
     Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or Related Agreement or
     any amendments, modifications, or supplements thereto, or replacements or
     extensions thereof; (iii) presentment, demand, default, non-payment,
     partial payment and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or
     occurrence described in Section 3 hereof. The Guarantor agrees that each
     Secured Party may heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of
     the foregoing in such manner, upon such terms and at such times as each
     Secured Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable,
     without in any way or respect impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing
     the Guarantor from the Guarantor's Obligations, and the Guarantor hereby
     consents to each and all of the foregoing events or occurrences.

          (b) The Guarantor hereby agrees that payment or performance by the
     Guarantor of its Guarantor's Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement may
     be enforced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties
     upon demand by the Administrative Agent to the Guarantor without the
     Administrative Agent being required, the Guarantor expressly waiving to the
     extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Administrative
     Agent, to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any
     remedies against any Designated Borrower or any other guarantor of the
     Guaranteed Liabilities, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies
     with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to
     the Administrative Agent or any Lender or other party to a Related
     Agreement by any Designated Borrower or any other Person on account of the
     Guaranteed Liabilities or any guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY
     UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY THE GUARANTOR THAT DEMAND UNDER
     THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND THE
     PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE
     FIRST DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE CREDIT
     AGREEMENT.

          (c) The Guarantor further agrees with respect to this Guaranty
     Agreement that it shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement,
     contribution or indemnity, nor any right of recourse to security for the
     Guaranteed Liabilities unless and until 93 days immediately following the
     Facility Termination Date (as defined below) shall have elapsed without the
     filing or commencement, by or against any Designated Borrower, of any state
     or federal action, suit, petition or proceeding seeking any reorganization,
     liquidation or other relief or arrangement in respect of creditors of, or
     the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or conservator in
     respect to, such Designated Borrower or its assets. This waiver is
     expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such
     subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity by the Guarantor
     against the estate of any Designated Borrower within the meaning of Section
     101 of the Bankruptcy Code in the event of a subsequent case involving any
     Designated Borrower. If an amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account
     of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Guaranty Agreement
     in accordance with the provisions of Section 20 hereof, such amount shall
     be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith
     be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
     Parties, to be credited and applied upon the Guarantor's Obligations,
     whether matured or unmatured, in

                                      F - 5

     accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or otherwise as the
     Secured Parties may elect. The agreements in this subsection shall survive
     repayment of all of the Guarantor's Obligations, the termination or
     expiration of this Guaranty Agreement in any manner, including but not
     limited to termination in accordance with Section 20 hereof, and occurrence
     of the Facility Termination Date. For purposes of this Guaranty Agreement,
     "Facility Termination Date" means the date as of which all of the following
     shall have occurred: (a) each Borrower shall have permanently terminated
     the credit facilities under the Loan Documents by final payment in full of
     all Outstanding Amounts, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and
     fees thereon, other than (i) the undrawn portion of Letters of Credit and
     (ii) all letter of credit fees relating thereto accruing after such date
     (which fees shall be payable solely for the account of the L/C Issuer and
     shall be computed (based on interest rates and the Applicable Rate then in
     effect) on such undrawn amounts to the respective expiry dates of the
     Letters of Credit), in each case as have been fully Cash Collateralized or
     as to which other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the
     Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made; (b) all
     Commitments shall have terminated or expired; and (c) each Borrower shall
     have fully, finally and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full all of its
     obligations and liabilities arising under the Loan Documents, including,
     with respect to each Borrower, the Obligations of such Borrower (except for
     future obligations consisting of continuing indemnities and other
     contingent Obligations that may be owing to any Agent-Related Person or any
     Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and expressly survive termination of
     the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document).

     9. EFFECTIVENESS; ENFORCEABILITY. This Guaranty Agreement shall be
effective as of the date first above written and shall continue in full force
and effect until termination in accordance with Section 20 hereof. Any claim or
claims that the Secured Parties may at any time hereafter have against a
Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement may be asserted by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties by written notice directed to the
Guarantor in accordance with Section 22 hereof.

     10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Guarantor warrants and represents
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that it is

except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles; and that the
Guarantor's execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty Agreement do
not violate or constitute a breach of any of its Organization Documents, any

regulation, decree or award of any governmental authority or arbitral body to
which it or its properties or operations is subject.

     12. REINSTATEMENT. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty Agreement shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, at any time

Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of any pending or threatened
avoidance claim.

     13. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. To the extent permitted by law, the Guarantor hereby

continuance of an Event of Default.

     14. RULES OF INTERPRETATION. The rules of interpretation contained in
Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty
Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. All representations and

     15. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Guaranty Agreement, together with the Credit
Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, understandings,
inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written,
except as herein contained. The express terms hereof control and supersede any
course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms
hereof. Except as provided in Section 20, neither this Guaranty Agreement nor
any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified,
supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any
manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement.

covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto, and to their respective heirs,
legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that the
Guarantor shall not be permitted to assign any of its rights, powers, duties or
obligations under this Guaranty Agreement or any other interest herein or
therein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Without

may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons
participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the
Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the
extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits
in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however,
to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article IX thereof
(concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof

                                      F - 7

of and separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason
be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this
Guaranty Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein.

     19. COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty

provisions of this Section 19, the provisions of Section 10.10 of the Credit
Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement.

Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party provided by law or under the

Credit Agreement and other Related Agreements shall be conclusively presumed to
have been made or extended, respectively, in reliance upon the Guarantor's
guaranty of the Guaranteed Liabilities pursuant to the terms hereof. Any amounts
not paid when due under this Guaranty Agreement shall bear interest at the
Default Rate.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement is made and
delivered pursuant to Section 2.14 of that certain Amended and Restated Credit

     Each of ______________________ (the "Designated Borrower") and the Company
hereby confirms, represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders that the Designated Borrower is a direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of the
Company.

     The documents required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent under
Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement will be furnished to the Administrative
Agent in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement.

     The parties hereto hereby confirm that with effect from the date hereof,
the Designated Borrower shall have obligations, duties and liabilities toward

     The Designated Borrower confirms its acceptance of, and consents to, all
representations and warranties, covenants, and other terms and provisions of the
Credit Agreement and further represents and warrants as follows: [THE FOLLOWING

SOLE DISCRETION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ]

     (a) The Designated Borrower is subject to civil and commercial Laws with
respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party (collectively the "Applicable Documents"), and the

the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Designated Borrower is organized and
existing in respect of its obligations under the Applicable Documents.

     (c) The Applicable Documents are in proper legal form under the Laws of the

                 FORM OF OPINION OF GIBSON, DUNN & CRUTCHER LLP

Bank of America, N.A.,
   as Administrative Agent for the
   Lenders party to the Credit
   Agreement referred to below,
   Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer

Each of the Lenders party to
   the Credit Agreement referred to below

          Re:  Avnet, Inc. -- Credit Agreement dated as of October 13, 2005

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as counsel to Avnet, Inc., a New York corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of October 13, 2005
(the "Credit Agreement") among the Company, Avnet Logistics U.S., L.P., a Texas
limited partnership (the "Designated Subsidiary Borrower"; and, together with
the Company, the "Obligors"), certain lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"),
Banc of America Securities LLC, as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager,
ABN AMRO Incorporated, as Joint Lead Arranger, and Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent (the "Administrative Agent"; and, together with the
Lenders, the "Lender Parties"). Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined.

          In rendering this opinion, we have examined originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies, of
the following documents and instruments:

               (i) the Credit Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits
          thereto; the Notes dated as of October 13, 2005 (the "Company Notes")
          made by the Company payable to the order of the Lenders;

               (ii) the Notes dated as of October 13, 2005 (the "Subsidiary
          Notes"; and, together with the Company Notes, the "Notes") made by the
          Designated Subsidiary Borrower payable to the order of the Lenders;
          and

               (iii) the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement dated as of
          October 13, 2005 (the "Guaranty"; and, together with the Credit
          Agreement and the Notes, the "Financing Documents") executed by the
          Company for the benefit of the Lender Parties.

          We have assumed without independent investigation that:

     a)   The signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, all
          individuals executing such documents had all requisite legal capacity
          and competency and were duly authorized, the documents submitted to us
          as originals are authentic and the documents submitted to us as
          certified or reproduction copies conform to the originals;

                                      I - 1
                 Form of Opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP
<PAGE>
     b)   Each party to the Financing Documents has all requisite power and
          authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each
          of the Financing Documents to which it is a party; the execution and
          delivery of such Financing Documents by such party and performance of
          its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary
          corporate or other action and, except as expressly covered by our
          opinions in Paragraph 2, do not violate any law, regulation, order,
          judgment or decree applicable to such party; and such Financing
          Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each such party;

     c)   Each Financing Document is a legal, valid and binding obligation of
          each party thereto (other than the Obligors), enforceable against such
          party in accordance with its terms; and

     d)   There are no agreements or understandings between or among any of the
          parties to the Financing Documents or third parties that would expand,
          modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Financing Documents or the
          respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

          We understand that you have received an opinion of even date herewith
of David R. Birk, the General Counsel of the Company, as to, inter alia, the
matters referred to in Paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

          In rendering this opinion, we have made such inquiries and examined,
among other things, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of such records, agreements, certificates, instruments and
other documents as we have considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of
this opinion. As to certain factual matters, we have relied to the extent we
deemed appropriate and without independent investigation upon the
representations and warranties of the Obligors in the Financing Documents,
certificates of officers of the Obligors or certificates obtained from public
officials and others.

          Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the
assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are
of the opinion that:

               1. Each Financing Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Obligor party thereto, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms.

               2. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the
Financing Documents to which it is a party do not violate, or require any filing
with or approval of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the State
of New York or the United States of America under, any law or regulation of the
State of New York or the United States of America applicable to such Obligor
that, in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions in the nature
of those contemplated by the Financing Documents.

               3. Neither Obligor is required to register as an "investment
company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

               4. The execution and delivery by the Obligors of the Financing
Documents and the performance of their obligations thereunder do not result in a
breach or violation of Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. Regulation T of

                                      I - 2
                 Form of Opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP
<PAGE>
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Regulation T") does not
apply to any Lender that is not a "creditor" (as defined in Regulation T).
Regulation T defines "creditor" as any broker or dealer (as defined in sections
3(a)(4) and 3(a)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act), any member of a national
securities exchange, or any person associated with a broker or dealer (as
defined in section 3(a)(18) of the Securities Exchange Act), except for business
entities controlling or under common control with the creditor.

          The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions,
qualifications and limitations:

               A. We render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws
of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York and the United States of
America. This opinion is limited to the effect of the present state of the laws
of the State of New York, the United States of America and the facts as they
presently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in
the event of future changes in such laws or the interpretations thereof or such
facts. Except as expressly set forth in Paragraphs 3 and 4 above, we express no
opinion regarding the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other federal
or state securities laws or regulations.

               B. Our opinions set forth in Paragraph 1 are subject to (i) the
effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or
similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally
(including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding
fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers) and (ii) general principles of
equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness,
good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies regardless of whether
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

               C. We express no opinion regarding the effect on the
enforceability of the Guaranty against the Company of any facts or circumstances
occurring after the date hereof that would constitute a defense to the
obligation of the Company under the Guaranty, unless such defense has been
waived effectively by the Company.

               D. We express no opinion regarding the effectiveness of (i) any
waiver (whether or not stated as such) under the Financing Documents of, or any
consent thereunder relating to, unknown future rights or the rights of any party
thereto existing, or duties owing to it, as a matter of law; (ii) any waiver
(whether or not stated as such) contained in the Financing Documents of rights
of any party, or duties owing to it, that is broadly or vaguely stated or does
not describe the right or duty purportedly waived with reasonable specificity;
(iii) provisions relating to indemnification, exculpation or contribution, to
the extent such provisions may be held unenforceable as contrary to public
policy or federal or state securities laws or due to the negligence or willful
misconduct of the indemnified party; (iv) any provision in any Financing
Document waiving the right to object to venue in any court; (v) any agreement to
submit to the jurisdiction of any Federal Court; (vi) any waiver of the right to
jury trial; (vii) any provision purporting to establish evidentiary standards;
(viii) any provision to the effect that every right or remedy is cumulative and
may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy or that the election
of some particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others; or
(ix) the

                                      I - 3
                 Form of Opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP
<PAGE>
availability of damages or other remedies not specified in the Financing
Documents in respect of breach of any covenants (other than covenants relating
to the payment of principal, interest, indemnities and expenses).

               E. For purposes of our opinion in Paragraph 4, we have assumed
without independent investigation that: (i) the representation and warranty of
the Obligors set forth in Section 5.14(a) of the Credit Agreement is and will be
true and correct at all relevant times and (ii) less than 25% of the value of
the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries subject to the negative covenants
of the Credit Agreement consist and will consist of "margin stock" within the
meaning of Regulations U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System at all relevant times. Our opinion in Paragraph 4 is subject to (and we
express no opinion in respect of) any requirement applicable to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to obtain in good faith a Form FR U-1 or FR
G-3 signed by the Obligors. Except as expressly set forth in Paragraph 4, we
express no opinion with respect to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

               F. We express no opinion as to the applicability to, or the
effect of noncompliance by, any Lender Party with any state or federal laws
applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents because
of the nature of the business of such Lender Party.

          This opinion is rendered to the Lender Parties in connection with the
Financing Documents and may not be relied upon by any person other than the
Lender Parties or by the Lender Parties in any other context, provided that the
Lender Parties may provide this opinion (i) to bank examiners and other
regulatory authorities should they so request in connection with their normal
examinations or should such disclosure otherwise be required under applicable
law, (ii) to the independent auditors and attorneys of the Lender Parties, (iii)
pursuant to order or legal process of any court or governmental agency, (iv) in
connection with any legal action to which any Lender Party is a party arising
out of the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents, or (v) the
proposed assignee of or participant in the interest of any Lender Party under
the Financing Documents. This opinion may not be quoted without the prior
written consent of this Firm.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        GIBSON, DUNN & CRUTCHER LLP

   Agreement referred to below,
   Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer

Each of the Lenders party
   to the Credit Agreement referred to below

          Re:  Avnet, Inc. - Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
               October 13, 2005

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          I am the general counsel of Avnet, Inc., a New York corporation (the
"Company"). I am rendering this opinion in connection with the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 13, 2005 (the "Credit Agreement")
among the Company, Avnet Logistics U.S., L.P., a Texas limited partnership (the
"Designated Subsidiary Borrower"; and, together with the Company, the
"Obligors"), certain lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), Banc of America
Securities LLC, as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, ABN AMRO
Incorporated, as Joint Lead Arranger, and Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent (the "Administrative Agent"; and, together with the
Lenders, the "Lender Parties"). Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined.

          For purposes of rendering this opinion, I have reviewed and examined
the originals, or copies identified to my satisfaction as being true and
complete copies of the originals, of the following documents and instruments:

          (iv) the Credit Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits
     thereto;

          (v) the Notes dated as of October 13, 2005 (the "Company Notes") made
     by the Company payable to the order of the Lenders;

          (vi) the Notes dated as of October 13, 2005 (the "Subsidiary Notes";
     and, together with the Company Notes, the "Notes") made by the Designated
     Subsidiary Borrower payable to the order of the Lenders;

          (vii) the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement dated as of October
     13, 2005 (the "Guaranty") executed by the Company for the benefit of the
     Lender Parties; and

          (viii) such other documents, certificates, instruments, corporate
     records and other statements of governmental officials, officers of the
     Obligors and others as I have deemed necessary or advisable to enable me to
     render the opinions set forth herein.

                                      I - 2
                Form of Opinion of General Counsel of the Company
<PAGE>
          The documents and instruments identified in clauses (i) through (iv)
are collectively referred to herein as the "Transaction Documents".

          I have assumed without independent investigation that the signatures
on all documents examined by me (other than those of the Obligors on the
Transaction Documents) are genuine, all individuals executing such documents had
all requisite legal capacity and competency and (except in the case of documents
signed on behalf of the Obligors) were duly authorized, the documents submitted
to me as originals are authentic and the documents submitted to me as certified
or reproduction copies conform to the originals; each party to the Transaction
Documents (other than the Obligors) has all requisite power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party; and the execution and delivery of such
Transaction Documents by each party to the Transaction Documents (other than the
Obligors) and performance by such party of its obligations thereunder have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action.

          Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the
assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, I am
of the opinion that:

               5. The Company is a validly existing corporation in good standing
under the laws of the State of New York and has all requisite corporate power to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party.

               6. The Designated Subsidiary Borrower is an active limited
partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and has all requisite limited
partnership power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

               7. The execution and delivery by each Obligor of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations
thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited
partnership action, as the case may be. Each Transaction Document has been duly
executed and delivered by each Obligor party thereto.

               8. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party, do not (i) violate (A) the
certificates of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the agreement of
limited partnership of the Designated Subsidiary Borrower, or (B) any order,
judgment or decree binding on an Obligor, or (ii) result in a breach of or
default under any contract of an Obligor filed as an exhibit to the Company's
periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act, or result in or require the
creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance upon any assets of an Obligor
under any such contract.

               9. To my knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding
pending against or threatened against or affecting either Obligor before any
court, governmental or regulatory authority or arbitrator, which if adversely
determined would question, either individually or collectively, the validity of
the Credit Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby.

          I am admitted to practice solely in the State of New York and express
no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State
of New York and, with respect to the matters set forth in Paragraphs 2, 3 and
4(i)(A) with respect to the Designated Subsidiary Borrower, the Texas Revised
Limited Partnership Act. This opinion is limited to the

                                      I - 2
                Form of Opinion of General Counsel of the Company
<PAGE>
effect of the present state of the laws of the State of New York and, with
respect to the matters set forth in Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4(i)(A) with respect to
the Designated Subsidiary Borrower, the Texas Revised Limited Partnership Act
and the facts as they presently exist. I assume no obligation to revise or
supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the
interpretations thereof or such facts.

          This opinion is rendered only to you and solely for your benefit in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. This
opinion may not otherwise be relied upon, or furnished, quoted or copied, in
whole or in part, by you to or by any other person or entity (other than an
assignee or participant of yours) for any purpose or in any other context,
without my prior written consent; provided that you may provide this opinion (i)
to bank examiners and other regulatory authorities should they so request in
connection with their normal examinations or should such disclosure otherwise be
required under applicable law, (ii) to your independent auditors and attorneys,
(iii) pursuant to order or legal process of any court or governmental agency,
(iv) in connection with any legal action to which you are a party arising out of

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                               GUARANTY AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this "Guaranty Agreement"),
dated as of October 13, 2005, is made by AVNET, INC., a New York corporation
(the "Guarantor"), to BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association
organized and existing under the laws of the United States, as administrative
agent under the Credit Agreement defined below (in such capacity, the
"Administrative Agent"), each of the lenders now or hereafter party to the
Credit Agreement defined below (each, a "Lender" and, collectively, the
"Lenders" and, together with the Administrative Agent, collectively, the
"Secured Parties" and each a "Secured Party"). All capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
the Credit Agreement.

                                   WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Guarantor, AVNET LOGISTICS U.S., L.P., a Texas limited
partnership ("Logistics"), the lenders party thereto and the Administrative
Agent entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of June 7, 2004 (the "Existing
Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which such lenders have made available to the
Borrowers a revolving credit facility, with swingline, letter of credit and
multicurrency subfacilities;

     WHEREAS, the Guarantor has guaranteed the obligations of Logistics under
the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated as of June
7, 2004 (the "Existing Guaranty");

     WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement by entering
into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 13, 2005 (as
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Credit Agreement");

     WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty Agreement is a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Guaranty is hereby
amended and restated as this Guaranty Agreement with the effect that the
Existing Guaranty, as so amended and restated, is hereby continued into this
Guaranty Agreement, and this Guaranty Agreement shall constitute neither a
release nor novation of any obligation arising under the Existing Guaranty, and
the obligations in effect under the Existing Guaranty shall continue in effect
on the terms hereof, including amendment and expansion of the obligations
guaranteed by the Existing Guaranty to include the obligations and liabilities
of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, all as follows:

     1. GUARANTY. The Guarantor hereby confirms its payment and performance
obligations under the Existing Guaranty and unconditionally, absolutely,
continually and irrevocably guarantees to each Secured Party the payment and
performance in full of the
<PAGE>
Guaranteed Liabilities (as defined below). For all purposes of this Guaranty
Agreement, "Guaranteed Liabilities" means: (a) each Designated Borrower's prompt
payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of all
Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement,
the Notes, and all other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at any time or times
hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from such Designated Borrower to any
one or more of the Secured Parties, including principal, interest, premiums and
fees (including, but not limited to, loan fees and fees and expenses of
counsel); and (b) each Designated Borrower's prompt, full and faithful
performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement, undertaking,
covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by such
Designated Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and all other Loan
Documents. The Guarantor's obligations to the Secured Parties under this
Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Guarantor's
Obligations".

     The Guarantor agrees that it is directly and primarily liable for the
Guaranteed Liabilities.

     2. PAYMENT. If any Designated Borrower shall default in payment or
performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether principal, interest,
premium, fee (including, but not limited to, loan fees and fees and expenses of
counsel), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after
expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, then
the Guarantor will, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, fully pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount equal to
all the Guaranteed Liabilities then due and owing.

     3. ABSOLUTE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. This is a guaranty of payment and not
of collection. The Guarantor's Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall
be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby
expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense to its obligations
under this Guaranty Agreement by reason of:

          (a) any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit
     Agreement, of any of the Notes, of any other Loan Document, or of any other
     agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise
     relating to any of the Guarantor's Obligations, any of the Guaranteed
     Liabilities, or any other guaranty of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities
     (the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being
     collectively referred to as the "Related Agreements");

          (b) any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise
     of any right or power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce
     any right conferred thereby, or any waiver of any covenant or condition
     therein provided;

          (c) any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Guaranteed
     Liabilities or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under
     any of the Related Agreements;

          (d) any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection,
     disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of
     the Guaranteed

                                       2
<PAGE>
     Liabilities, for any of the Guarantor's Obligations, or for any other
     obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related
     Agreements;

          (e) any dissolution of any Designated Borrower or any other party to a
     Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of any Designated
     Borrower or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another
     entity or any transfer or disposition of any assets of any Designated
     Borrower or any other party to a Related Agreement;

          (f) any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for
     payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any
     acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change in the amount
     of any borrowings or any credit facilities available under, the Credit
     Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related
     Agreement, in whole or in part;

          (g) the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or
     impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security
     therefor) of the Guaranteed Liabilities (including without limitation
     obligations arising under any other guaranty now or hereafter in effect);

          (h) any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent
     to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in the
     Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement,
     including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or
     performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or any of the obligations
     or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement;

          (i) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or
     knowledge of the Guarantor) which may or might in any manner or to any
     extent vary the risks of the Guarantor, or might otherwise constitute a
     legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a
     guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that
     resort be had to any Designated Borrower or to any collateral in respect of
     the Guaranteed Liabilities or Guarantor's Obligations.

It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Guaranty
Agreement and the Guarantor's Obligations hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except
by payment as herein provided.

     4. CURRENCY AND FUNDS OF PAYMENT. All Guarantor's Obligations will be paid
in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available
funds, regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect
that might in any manner affect the Guaranteed Liabilities, or the rights of any
Secured Party with respect thereto as against any Designated Borrower, or cause
or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment
by any Designated Borrower of any or all of the Guaranteed Liabilities.

     5. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2 hereof,
in the event that there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default, then
notwithstanding any

                                       3
<PAGE>
collateral or other security or credit support for the Guaranteed Liabilities,
at the Administrative Agent's election and without notice thereof or demand
therefor, the Guarantor's Obligations shall immediately be and become due and
payable.

     6. SUITS. The Guarantor from time to time shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand, at the Administrative
Agent's place of business set forth in the Credit Agreement or such other
address as the Administrative Agent shall give notice of to the Guarantor, the
Guarantor's Obligations as they become or are declared due, and in the event
such payment is not made forthwith, the Administrative Agent may proceed to suit
against the Guarantor. At the Administrative Agent's election, one or more and
successive or concurrent suits may be brought hereon by the Administrative Agent
against the Guarantor, whether or not suit has been commenced against any
Designated Borrower or any other Person and whether or not the Secured Parties
have taken or failed to take any other action to collect all or any portion of
the Guaranteed Liabilities or have taken or failed to take any actions against
any collateral securing payment or performance of all or any portion of the
Guaranteed Liabilities, and irrespective of any event, occurrence, or condition
described in Section 3 hereof.

     7. SET-OFF AND WAIVER. The Guarantor waives any right to assert against any
Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in
respect of its Guarantor's Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or
other claim which the Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against
any Designated Borrower or any or all of the Secured Parties without waiving any
additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available
to the Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that each Secured Party shall have a lien
for all the Guarantor's Obligations upon all deposits or deposit accounts, of
any kind, or any interest in any deposits or deposit accounts, now or hereafter
pledged, mortgaged, transferred or assigned to such Secured Party or otherwise
in the possession or control of such Secured Party for any purpose (other than
solely for safekeeping) for the account or benefit of the Guarantor, including
any balance of any deposit account or of any credit of the Guarantor with the
Secured Party, whether now existing or hereafter established, and hereby
authorizes each Secured Party from and after the occurrence of an Event of
Default at any time or times with or without prior notice to apply such balances
or any part thereof to such of the Guarantor's Obligations to the Secured
Parties then due and in such amounts as provided for in the Credit Agreement or
otherwise as they may elect. For the purposes of this Section 7, all remittances
and property shall be deemed to be in the possession of a Secured Party as soon
as the same may be put in transit to it by mail or carrier or by other bailee.

     8. WAIVER OF NOTICE; SUBROGATION.

          (a) The Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice
     of the following events or occurrences: (i) acceptance of this Guaranty
     Agreement; (ii) the Lenders' heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter
     making Loans and issuing Letters of Credit and otherwise loaning monies or
     giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of any Designated Borrower
     or otherwise entering into arrangements with any Designated Borrower giving
     rise to Guaranteed Liabilities, whether pursuant to the Credit Agreement or
     the Notes or any other Loan Document or Related Agreement or any
     amendments, modifications, or supplements thereto, or replacements or
     extensions

                                       4
<PAGE>
     thereof; (iii) presentment, demand, default, non-payment, partial payment
     and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or occurrence described
     in Section 3 hereof. The Guarantor agrees that each Secured Party may
     heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of the foregoing in
     such manner, upon such terms and at such times as each Secured Party, in
     its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable, without in any way or
     respect impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing the Guarantor from the
     Guarantor's Obligations, and the Guarantor hereby consents to each and all
     of the foregoing events or occurrences.

          (b) The Guarantor hereby agrees that payment or performance by the
     Guarantor of its Guarantor's Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement may
     be enforced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties
     upon demand by the Administrative Agent to the Guarantor without the
     Administrative Agent being required, the Guarantor expressly waiving to the
     extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Administrative
     Agent, to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any
     remedies against any Designated Borrower or any other guarantor of the
     Guaranteed Liabilities, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies
     with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to
     the Administrative Agent or any Lender or other party to a Related
     Agreement by any Designated Borrower or any other Person on account of the
     Guaranteed Liabilities or any guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY
     UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY THE GUARANTOR THAT DEMAND UNDER
     THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND THE
     PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE
     FIRST DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE CREDIT
     AGREEMENT.

          (c) The Guarantor further agrees with respect to this Guaranty
     Agreement that it shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement,
     contribution or indemnity, nor any right of recourse to security for the
     Guaranteed Liabilities unless and until 93 days immediately following the
     Facility Termination Date (as defined below) shall have elapsed without the
     filing or commencement, by or against any Designated Borrower, of any state
     or federal action, suit, petition or proceeding seeking any reorganization,
     liquidation or other relief or arrangement in respect of creditors of, or
     the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or conservator in
     respect to, such Designated Borrower or its assets. This waiver is
     expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such
     subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity by the Guarantor
     against the estate of any Designated Borrower within the meaning of Section
     101 of the Bankruptcy Code in the event of a subsequent case involving any
     Designated Borrower. If an amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account
     of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Guaranty Agreement
     in accordance with the provisions of Section 20 hereof, such amount shall
     be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith
     be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
     Parties, to be credited and applied upon the Guarantor's Obligations,
     whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit
     Agreement or otherwise as the Secured Parties may elect. The agreements in
     this subsection shall survive repayment of all of the

                                       5
<PAGE>
     Guarantor's Obligations, the termination or expiration of this Guaranty
     Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination in
     accordance with Section 20 hereof, and occurrence of the Facility
     Termination Date. For purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, "Facility
     Termination Date" means the date as of which all of the following shall
     have occurred: (a) each Borrower shall have permanently terminated the
     credit facilities under the Loan Documents by final payment in full of all
     Outstanding Amounts, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees
     thereon, other than (i) the undrawn portion of Letters of Credit and (ii)
     all letter of credit fees relating thereto accruing after such date (which
     fees shall be payable solely for the account of the L/C Issuer and shall be
     computed (based on interest rates and the Applicable Rate then in effect)
     on such undrawn amounts to the respective expiry dates of the Letters of
     Credit), in each case as have been fully Cash Collateralized or as to which
     other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the Administrative
     Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made; (b) all Commitments shall
     have terminated or expired; and (c) each Borrower shall have fully, finally
     and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full all of its obligations and
     liabilities arising under the Loan Documents, including, with respect to
     each Borrower, the Obligations of such Borrower (except for future
     obligations consisting of continuing indemnities and other contingent
     Obligations that may be owing to any Agent-Related Person or any Lender
     pursuant to the Loan Documents and expressly survive termination of the
     Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document).

     9. EFFECTIVENESS; ENFORCEABILITY. This Guaranty Agreement shall be
effective as of the date first above written and shall continue in full force
and effect until termination in accordance with Section 20 hereof. Any claim or
claims that the Secured Parties may at any time hereafter have against a
Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement may be asserted by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties by written notice directed to the
Guarantor in accordance with Section 22 hereof.

     10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Guarantor warrants and represents
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that it is
duly authorized to execute and deliver this Guaranty Agreement, and to perform
its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement, that this Guaranty Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Guarantor by its duly
authorized representatives; that this Guaranty Agreement is legal, valid,
binding and enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms
except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles; and that the
Guarantor's execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty Agreement do
not violate or constitute a breach of any of its Organization Documents, any

regulation, decree or award of any governmental authority or arbitral body to
which it or its properties or operations is subject.

     11. EXPENSES. The Guarantor agrees to be liable for the payment of all
reasonable fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, incurred
by any Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty
Agreement, whether or not suit be brought.

<PAGE>
     12. REINSTATEMENT. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty Agreement shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, at any time

Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of any pending or threatened
avoidance claim.

     13. ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. To the extent permitted by law, the Guarantor hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as
the Guarantor's attorney-in-fact for the purposes of carrying out the provisions
of this Guaranty Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument
which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes hereof, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise
rights under this power of attorney only upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default.

     14. RULES OF INTERPRETATION. The rules of interpretation contained in
Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty
Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. All representations and
warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any
extension of credit referred to herein or guaranteed hereby.

     15. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Guaranty Agreement, together with the Credit
Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, understandings,
inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written,
except as herein contained. The express terms hereof control and supersede any
course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms
hereof. Except as provided in Section 20, neither this Guaranty Agreement nor
any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified,
supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any

Guarantor shall not be permitted to assign any of its rights, powers, duties or
obligations under this Guaranty Agreement or any other interest herein or
therein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 16, any Lender
may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons
participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the
Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the
extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits
in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however,
to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article IX thereof
(concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof concerning
assignments and participations. All references herein to the Administrative
Agent shall include any successor thereof.

     18. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Guaranty Agreement are independent
of and separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason
be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this
Guaranty Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein.

     19. COUNTERPARTS. This Guaranty Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty
Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by
the Guarantor against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the foregoing
provisions of this Section 19, the provisions of Section 10.10 of the Credit
Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement.

     20. TERMINATION. Subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 12 hereof,
this Guaranty Agreement, and all of the Guarantor's Obligations hereunder
(excluding those Guarantor's obligations relating to Guaranteed Liabilities that

Date.

     21. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; LATE PAYMENTS. All remedies hereunder are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party provided by law or under the
Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or other applicable agreements or
instruments. The making of the Loans and other credit extensions pursuant to the
Credit Agreement and other Related Agreements shall be conclusively presumed to
have been made or extended, respectively, in reliance upon the Guarantor's
guaranty of the Guaranteed Liabilities pursuant to the terms hereof. Any amounts
not paid when due under this Guaranty Agreement shall bear interest at the
Default Rate.

with respect to the Guarantor, at the address indicated in Schedule 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement and (b) with respect to the Administrative Agent or any other
