LOAN") to Borrower 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 such Lender's Commitment; provided, however, that
after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (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 Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA

                                       20

<PAGE>

Obligations, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender's Commitment. Within the limits of
each Lender's Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof,
Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.1, prepay under Section 2.5, and
reborrow under this Section 2.1. Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or
Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

      2.2   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 Eurodollar Rate Loans
      shall be made upon Borrower's irrevocable notice to Agent which may be
      delivered by telephone provided that a written Committed Loan Notice is
      received by Agent on the requested date of such Borrowing. Each such
      notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three
      Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion
      to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of
      Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans, and (ii) on the
      requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans. Each
      telephonic notice by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) must be
      confirmed promptly by delivery to Agent of a written Committed Loan
      Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of
      Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar
      Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole
      multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections
      2.3(c) and 2.4(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed
      Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of
      $10,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i)
      whether Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of
      Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of
      Eurodollar 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, and (v) if
      applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If
      Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan
      Notice or if Borrower 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. Any such 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 Eurodollar Rate
      Loans. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation
      of Eurodollar 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.

            (b)   Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, Agent shall
      promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the
      applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or
      continuation is provided by Borrower, Agent shall notify each Lender of
      the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in
      the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each
      Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to Agent in
      immediately available funds at Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on
      the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon
      satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (and,
      if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.1), Agent
      shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as
      received by Agent either by (i) crediting the account of 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) Agent by Borrower; provided,
      however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to
      such Borrowing is given by Borrower, there are L/C-BA Borrowings
      outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing first, shall be applied,
      to the payment in full of any such L/C-BA Borrowings, and second, shall be
      made available to Borrower as provided above.

            (c)   Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan
      may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period
      for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans
      may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans
      without the consent of the Required Lenders.

                                       21

<PAGE>

            (d)   Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the
      interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans
      upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the
      Eurodollar Rate by Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
      error.

            (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 six Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

      herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
      other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.3, (1) from time to time on any
      Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the earlier to
      occur of the L/C-BA Expiration Date or the termination of the Availability
      Period, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, and to
      amend or extend Letters of Credit or Bankers' Acceptances previously
      issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, (2) to honor
      drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (3) with respect to Acceptance

      thereof and hereof, and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in
      Letters of Credit and Bankers' Acceptances issued for the account of

      any L/C-BA Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the
      Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (x) the
      aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus
      such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA
      Obligations, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount
      of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender's Commitment, (y) the
      Outstanding Amount of the L/C-BA Obligations shall not exceed the L/C-BA
      Sublimit, and (z) as to Acceptance Credits, the Bankers' Acceptance
      created or to be created thereunder shall not be an eligible bankers'
      acceptance under Section 3 of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. Section
      372). Each request by Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter
      of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the
      L/C-BA 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, Borrower's ability
      to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly
      Borrower 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 2.3(b)(iv), the expiry date of such
            requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after
            the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders
            have approved such expiry date, or the maturity date of any Bankers'
            Acceptance issued under any requested Acceptance Credit would occur
            more than twelve months after the date of issuance;

                  (b)   the expiration date of such requested Letter of Credit
            or the maturity date of any Bankers' Acceptance issued under such
            requested Letter of Credit would occur after the L/C-BA Expiration
            Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

                  (c)   any commercial Letter of Credit having an expiration
            date later than the date which is 180 days from the date of issuance
            of such commercial Letter of Credit or that is otherwise
            unacceptable to the L/C Issuer in its reasonable discretion.

<PAGE>

                        (iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to
      issue any Letter of Credit if:

                  (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
            related Bankers' Acceptance, 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 or related bankers' acceptances
            generally or such Letter of Credit or any related Bankers'
            Acceptance in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with
            respect to such Letter of Credit or related Bankers' Acceptance 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 or Bankers'
            Acceptance would violate any Laws or one or more policies of the L/C
            Issuer or the creation of any related Bankers' Acceptance would
            cause the L/C Issuer to exceed the maximum amount of outstanding
            bankers' acceptances permitted by law;

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

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

                  (e)   a default of any Lender's obligations to fund under
            Section 2.3(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting
            Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into
            satisfactory arrangements with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate
            the L/C Issuer's risk with respect to such Lender;

                  (f)   such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for
            automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing
            thereunder.

                        (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.

            (b)   PROCEDURES FOR ISSUANCE AND AMENDMENT OF LETTERS OF CREDIT AND
      BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES; EXTENSION LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                        (i)   Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended,
      as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to the L/C
      Issuer (with a copy to Agent) in the form of a L/C Application,
      appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower.
      Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and Agent not
      later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and
      time as Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in
      their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of
      amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial
      issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C 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

                                       23

<PAGE>

      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 or
      presentation thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be
      presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing or presentation
      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 L/C 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, Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and
      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 Agent may require.

                        (ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application at
      the address set forth in Section 10.2 for receiving L/C Applications and
      related correspondence, the L/C Issuer will confirm with Agent (by
      telephone or in writing) that Agent has received a copy of such L/C
      Application from Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide Agent
      with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice
      from any Lender, 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 in Section 4 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 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 Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
      Immediately upon the creation of each Bankers' Acceptance, each Lender
      shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
      purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such
      Bankers' Acceptance in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Pro
      Rata Share times the amount of such Bankers' Acceptance.

                        (iii) 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 Borrower and Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of
      Credit or amendment.

                        (iv)  If Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C
      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"); 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,
      Borrower 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 L/C-BA 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 2.3(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 Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit
      such extension or (2) from Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party that one or
      more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then
      satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit
      such extension.

            (c)   DRAWINGS AND REIMBURSEMENTS; FUNDING OF PARTICIPATIONS.

                        (i)   Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of
      Credit of any notice of a drawing or, with respect to any Acceptance
      Credit, presentation of documents, under such Letter of

                                       24

<PAGE>

      Credit, or any presentation for payment of a Bankers' Acceptance, the L/C
      Issuer shall notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m.
      on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit or a
      Bankers' Acceptance (each such date, an "HONOR DATE"), Borrower shall
      reimburse the L/C Issuer through Agent in an amount equal to the amount of
      such drawing or Bankers' Acceptance, as applicable. If Borrower fails to
      so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, Agent shall promptly notify each
      Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing or
      payment (the "UNREIMBURSED AMOUNT"), and the amount of such Lender's Pro
      Rata Share thereof. In such event, Borrower 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 2.2 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 4.2 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any
      notice given by the L/C Issuer or Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(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 (including Lender acting as L/C
      Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i) make funds
      available to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Agent's Office
      in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not
      later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by
      Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(c)(iii), each
      Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base
      Rate Committed Loan to Borrower in such amount. 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 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any
      other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C
      Issuer an L/C-BA Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that
      is not so refinanced, which L/C-BA 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 Agent for the account of the
      L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in
      respect of its participation in such L/C-BA Borrowing and shall constitute
      an L/C-BA Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation
      obligation under this Section 2.3.

                        (iv)  Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or
      L/C-BA Advance pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer
      for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit or payments made on any
      Bankers' Acceptance, interest in respect of such Lender's Pro Rata Share
      of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

                        (v)   Each Lender's obligation to make Committed Loans
      or L/C-BA Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under
      Letters of Credit and payments made on Bankers' Acceptances, as
      contemplated by this Section 2.3(c), shall be absolute and unconditional
      and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off,
      counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
      have against the L/C Issuer, Borrower 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 2.3(c) is subject to the
      conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than delivery by Borrower of a
      Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C-BA Advance shall relieve
      or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer
      for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of
      Credit or Bankers' Acceptance, together with interest as provided herein.

                        (vi)  If any Lender fails to make available to 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 2.3(c) by the
      time specified in Section 2.3(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to
      recover from such Lender (acting through 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

                                       25

<PAGE>

      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
      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 or Bankers' Acceptance and has received
      from any Lender such Lender's L/C-BA Advance in respect of such payment in
      accordance with Section 2.3(c), if 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 Borrower or otherwise, including
      proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Agent), Agent will
      distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately
      adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time
      during which such Lender's L/C-BA Advance was outstanding) in the same
      funds as those received by Agent.

                        (ii)  If any payment received by Agent for the account
      of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i) is required to be returned
      under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.6 (including
      pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its
      discretion), each Lender shall pay to Agent for the account of the L/C
      Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of 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.

            (e)   OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse
      the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and each
      payment under any Bankers' Acceptance, and to repay each L/C-BA 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 or Bankers' Acceptance, this Agreement, or any other Loan
      Document;

                        (ii)  the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off,
      defense or other right that Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any
      time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit or
      Bankers' Acceptance (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 Bankers' Acceptance or any agreement
      or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

                        (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document
      or endorsement presented under or in connection with such Letter of Credit
      or Bankers' Acceptance 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 or obtain payment under any Bankers' Acceptance;

                        (iv)  any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of
      Credit or Bankers' Acceptance 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
      or Bankers' Acceptance 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 or Bankers'
      Acceptance, 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, Borrower or any Subsidiary.

                                       26

<PAGE>

      Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto, and each Bankers' Acceptance, that is delivered to it and, in
the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower's instructions or other
irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. Borrower 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 Borrower agree that, in
      paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit or making any payment under a
      Bankers' Acceptance, 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, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective
      correspondents, participants or assignees 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 Lenders or the Required
      Lenders, 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, Bankers' Acceptance or L/C Application.
      Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
      beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit
      or Bankers' Acceptance; provided, however, that this assumption is not
      intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower'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, any Agent-Related
      Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or
      assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the
      matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.3(e); provided,
      however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding,
      Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may
      be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any
      direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by
      Borrower which Borrower 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 or to honor any Bankers' Acceptance
      presented for payment in strict compliance with its terms and conditions.
      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 endorsing, transferring
      or assigning or purporting to endorse, transfer or assign a Letter of
      Credit or Bankers' Acceptance 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 Agent, (i) if the L/C
      Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of
      Credit or made any payment under any Bankers' Acceptance and such drawing
      has resulted in an L/C-BA Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the L/C-BA
      Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding
      and partially or wholly undrawn or any Bankers' Acceptance may for any
      reason remain outstanding, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize
      the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations (in an amount equal
      to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C-BA
      Borrowing or the L/C-BA Expiration Date, as the case may be). Sections
      2.5(c) and 8.2(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver
      Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes hereof, "CASH COLLATERALIZE" means
      to pledge and deposit with or deliver to Agent, for the benefit of the L/C
      Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C-BA Obligations, cash or
      deposit account balances pursuant to a Collateral Account Agreement in
      form and substance satisfactory to Agent and the L/C Issuer (which
      documents are hereby consented to by Lenders). Derivatives of such term
      have corresponding meanings. Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the
      benefit of the L/C Issuer and 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 ISP98 AND UCP. Unless otherwise expressly
      agreed by the L/C Issuer and Borrower 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 (the "ICC") at the time of issuance shall apply to each
      commercial Letter of Credit.

            (i)   L/C-BA FEES. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of
      each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a L/C-BA Fee (the
      "L/C-BA FEE") (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit and each Bankers'
      Acceptance equal to 0.25% per annum times the aggregated stated 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) or the
      maximum stated amount of such Bankers' Acceptance, as the case may be, and
      (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to 0.75% per annum times the
      aggregate stated 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). L/C-BA 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 Closing Date, on the L/C-BA Expiration Date and
      thereafter on demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
      herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of
      Default exists, all L/C-BA Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

            (j)   FRONTING FEE AND DOCUMENTARY AND PROCESSING CHARGES PAYABLE TO
      L/C ISSUER. Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own
      account a fronting fee with respect to each standby Letter of Credit and
      each Bankers' Acceptance in the amount equal to the greater of 0.25% per
      annum times the aggregated stated 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) or the maximum stated amount of such Bankers'
      Acceptance, as applicable, and $100. Such fronting fee shall be 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 Closing Date, on the L/C-BA Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.
      In addition, Borrower 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 and bankers' acceptances as from time to
      time in effect. Such individual 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 Documents, the terms
      hereof shall control.

            (l)   LETTERS OF CREDIT ISSUED FOR SUBSIDIARIES. Notwithstanding
      that a Letter of Credit or Bankers' Acceptance is issued or outstanding
      hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a
      Subsidiary, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer
      hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit or payments
      under such Bankers' Acceptance. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the
      issuance of Letters of Credit of Bankers' Acceptance for the account of
      Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower's
      business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such
      Subsidiaries.

      2.4   SWING LINE LOANS.

            (a)   THE SWING LINE. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
      herein, Swing Line Lender agrees to consider in its sole and absolute
      discretion making loans (each such loan, a "SWING LINE LOAN") to Borrower
      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 Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of
      Committed Loans and L/C-BA 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 Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding

                                       28

<PAGE>

      Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
      Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender's
      Commitment. The Swing Line is a discretionary, uncommitted facility and
      Swing Line Lender may terminate or suspend the Swing Line at any time in
      its sole discretion upon notice to Borrower which notice may be given by
      Swing Line Lender before or after Borrower requests a Swing Line Loan
      hereunder. 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 Swing Line
      Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to
      the product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing
      Line Loan.

            (b)   BORROWING PROCEDURES. Unless the Swing Line has been
      terminated or suspended by the Swing Line Lender as provided in subsection
      (a) above, each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower's
      irrevocable notice to Swing Line Lender and Agent, which may be given by
      telephone. Each such notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and
      Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall
      specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of
      $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business
      Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to
      Swing Line Lender and Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice,
      appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower.
      Promptly after receipt by Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line
      Loan Notice, Swing Line Lender will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in
      writing) that Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if
      not, Swing Line Lender will notify Agent (by telephone or in writing) of
      the contents thereof. Unless (x) the Swing Line has been terminated or
      suspended by the Swing Line Lender as provided in subsection (a) above, or
      (y) the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing)
      from Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on
      the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing 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 2.4(a), or (B) that
      one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4 is not
      then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing
      Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified
      in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan
      available to Borrower at its office by crediting the account of Borrower
      on the books of Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. Lenders
      agree that Swing Line Lender may agree to modify the borrowing procedures
      used in connection with the Swing Line in its discretion and without
      affecting any of the obligations of Lenders hereunder with other than
      notifying Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice.

            (c)   REFINANCING OF SWING LINE LOANS.

                        (i)   Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and
      absolute discretion may request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby
      irrevocably authorizes 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 Pro Rata Share 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 2.2, 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 4.2. Swing Line Lender
      shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice
      promptly after delivering such notice to Agent. Each Lender shall make an
      amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such
      Committed Loan Notice available to Agent in immediately available funds
      for the account of Swing Line Lender at the Agent's Office not later than
      1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon,
      subject to Section 2.4(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available
      shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to Borrower in
      such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received to Swing Line Lender.

                        (ii)  If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be
      refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section
      2.4(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by Swing
      Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by Swing
      Line Lender

                                       29

<PAGE>

      that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing
      Line Loan and each Lender's payment to Agent for the account of Swing Line
      Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of
      such participation.

                        (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to Agent for
      the account of Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such
      Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(c) by the
      time specified in Section 2.4(c)(i), Swing Line Lender shall be entitled
      to recover from such Lender (acting through 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
      Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from
      time to time in effect. A certificate of Swing Line Lender submitted to
      any Lender (through 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 2.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
      be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim,
      recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
      Swing Line Lender, Borrower 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 2.4(c) is subject to the
      conditions set forth in Section 4.2. No such funding of risk
      participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of
      Borrower 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 Swing Line Lender
      receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Lender
      will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share 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 Swing Line Lender.

                        (ii)  If any payment received by Swing Line Lender in
      respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be
      returned by Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in
      Section 10.6 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Swing
      Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Swing Line Lender
      its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of 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. Agent will make such demand upon
      the request of Swing Line Lender.

            (e)   INTEREST FOR ACCOUNT OF SWING LINE LENDER. Swing Line Lender
      shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on the Swing Line
      Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk
      participation pursuant to this Section 2.4 to refinance such Lender's Pro
      Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata
      Share shall be solely for the account of Swing Line Lender.

            (f)   PAYMENTS DIRECTLY TO SWING LINE LENDER. Borrower shall make
      all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans
      directly to Swing Line Lender.

      2.5   PREPAYMENTS.

            (a)   Borrower may, upon notice to 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
      Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date
      of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment
      of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any

                                       30

<PAGE>

      prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
      $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any
      prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of
      $500,000 or a whole multiple of $10,000 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. Agent will promptly notify each
      Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
      Lender's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by
      Borrower, 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by
      all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts
      required pursuant to Section 3.5. Each such prepayment shall be applied to
      the Committed Loans of Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro
      Rata Shares.

            (b)   Borrower may, upon notice to Swing Line Lender (with a copy to
      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 Swing Line Lender and Agent not later than
      1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment
      shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall
      specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by
      Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
      specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
      therein.

            (c)   If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed
      the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, Borrower shall immediately
      prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C-BA Obligations in an
      aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that Borrower
      shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C-BA Obligations
      pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the
      Committed Loans and Swing Line Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the
      Aggregate Commitments then in effect.

      2.6   TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS.

      Borrower may, upon notice to 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 Agent not later than 11:00 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) Borrower shall not 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 L/C-BA 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. 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 Pro Rata Share. All fees accrued until the
effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on
the effective date of such termination.

      2.7   REPAYMENT OF LOANS.

            (a)   Borrower shall repay to Lenders on the Maturity Date the
      aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans outstanding on such date.

            (b)   Borrower shall repay to Swing Line Lender each Swing Line Loan
      on the Maturity Date.

      2.8   INTEREST.

            (a)   Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each
      Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
      amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the
      Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii)
      each Base Rate Committed

                                       31

<PAGE>

      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
      plus the Applicable 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 plus the
      Applicable 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 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, Borrower 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.

                        (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.

      2.9   FEES. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and
            (j) of Section 2.3:

            (a)   COMMITMENT FEE. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of
      each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal
      to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the
      Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of
      Committed Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C-BA Obligations. The
      commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period,
      including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in
      Section 4 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. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in
      arrears. For purposes of computing the commitment fee, Swing Line Loans
      shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate
      Commitments.

            (b)   OTHER FEES. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent such other fees in
      the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower
      and the Agent, including, without limitation, fees to be distributed by
      Agent to Lenders on the Closing Date.

      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). Interest shall
accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue
on a Loan, or any

                                       32

<PAGE>

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.

      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 Agent
      in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by
      Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the
      amount of the Credit Extensions made by Lenders to Borrower 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
      Borrower 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 Agent in respect
      of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the
      absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through
      Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Agent) a
      Note, which shall evidence such Lender's Loans in addition to such
      accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and
      endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount 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 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 Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect
      of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the
      absence of manifest error.

      2.12  PAYMENTS GENERALLY.

            (a)   (i) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without
      condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or
      setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by
      Borrower hereunder shall be made to Agent, for the account of the
      respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Agent's Office in
      Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on
      the date specified herein. Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender
      its Pro Rata Share (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 Agent after 12:00 noon shall be
      deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable
      interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

            (ii)  On each date when the payment of any principal, interest or
fees are due hereunder or under any Note, Borrower agrees to maintain on deposit
in an ordinary checking account maintained by Borrower with Agent (as such
account shall be designated by Borrower in a written notice to Agent from time
to time, the "BORROWER ACCOUNT") an amount sufficient to pay such principal,
interest or fees in full on such date. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent (A) to
deduct automatically all principal, interest or fees when due hereunder or under
any Note from the Borrower Account, and (B) if and to the extent any payment of
principal, interest or fees under this Agreement or any Note is not made when
due to deduct any such amount from any or all of the accounts of Borrower
maintained at Agent. Agent agrees to provide written notice to Borrower of any
automatic deduction made pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) showing in
reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction. Lenders agree to reimburse
Borrower based on their Pro Rata Share for any amounts deducted from such
accounts in excess of amount due hereunder and under any other Loan Documents.

            (b)   If any payment to be made by 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.

            (c)   Unless Borrower or any Lender has notified Agent, prior to the
      date any payment is required to be made by it to Agent hereunder, that
      Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not

                                       33

<PAGE>

      make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrower or such Lender, as the
      case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so
      required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount
      to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was
      not in fact made to Agent in immediately available funds, then:

                        (i)   if Borrower failed to make such payment, each
      Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to Agent the portion of such
      assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately
      available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day
      from and including the date such amount was made available by Agent to
      such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Agent in immediately
      available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

                        (ii)  if any Lender failed to make such payment, such
      Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to Agent the amount thereof in
      immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period
      from the date such amount was made available by Agent to Borrower to the
      date such amount is recovered by Agent (the "COMPENSATION PERIOD") at a
      rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
      effect. If such Lender pays such amount to Agent, then such amount shall
      constitute such Lender's Committed Loan included in the applicable
      Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon Agent's
      demand therefor, Agent may make a demand therefor upon Borrower, and
      Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent, together with interest thereon
      for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of
      interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be
      deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment
      or to prejudice any rights which Agent or Borrower may have against any
      Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

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

            (d)   If any Lender makes available to Agent funds for any Loan to
      be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
      Section 2, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Agent
      because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
      Section 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof,
      Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender)
      to such Lender, without interest.

            (e)   The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed
      Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans
      are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed
      Loan or to fund any such participation 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 or purchase its participation.

            (f)   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.

      2.13  SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

      If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall
obtain on account of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in
L/C-BA Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated
hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify Agent of such fact,
and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Committed
Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C-BA
Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect
of such Committed Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata
with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.6 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the purchasing Lender in its

                                       34

<PAGE>

discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other
Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor,
together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment
to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any
interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of
the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. Borrower agrees
that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including
the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.9) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in
the amount of such participation. Agent will keep records (which shall be
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations
purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following
any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation
pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to
give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under
this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the
same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the
Obligations purchased.

SECTION 3.  TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

      3.1   TAXES.

            (a)   Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account
      of any obligation of the Borrower 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
      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 Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
      receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
      deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and
      (iii) the 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 Borrower. Without limiting the
      provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any
      Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
      applicable law.

            (c)   Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify
      the 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 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 the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to
      the Agent), or by the 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 the Borrower to a Governmental
      Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 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 the 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 Borrower
      (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by

                                       35

<PAGE>

      applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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
      Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed
      by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as
      will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such
      Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
      requirements.

            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that
      the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any
      Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the 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
      thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the 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 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 Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made.

            (f)   Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the 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
      the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional
      amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount
      equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
      or additional amounts paid, by the 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 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 the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent, such Lender or the L/C
      Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any
      penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
      Authority) to the Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the
      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 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 the Borrower or any other Person.

      3.2   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 Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on
notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Agent, any obligation of such
Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate
Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender
notifies Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon
demand from such Lender (with a copy to Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on
the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if

                                       36

<PAGE>

such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such
day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall
also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts
due under Section 3.5 in accordance with the terms thereof due to such
prepayment or conversion. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending
Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in
the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous
to such Lender.

      3.3   INABILITY TO DETERMINE RATES.

      If Agent determines in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate
Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof for any reason that (a) Dollar
deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar
market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate
Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) that the Eurodollar Base Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan,
Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
suspended until Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans 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.

      3.4   INCREASED COST AND REDUCED RETURN; CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

            (a)   If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction
      of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or such Lender's
      compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such
      Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar
      Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of
      Credit or Bankers' Acceptances, or a reduction in the amount received or
      receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing
      (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or
      reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which
      Section 3.1 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of
      overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any
      foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under
      the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office, and
      (iii) reserve requirements utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar
      Rate), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of
      such demand to Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
      amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
      reduction.

            (b)   If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law
      regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation
      thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith,
      has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such
      Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such
      Lender's obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies
      with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on
      capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy
      of such demand to Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
      additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

      3.5   COMPENSATION FOR LOSSES.

      Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Agent) from time to time,
Borrower shall promptly 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); or

                                       37

<PAGE>

            (b)   any failure by 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
      Borrower;

excluding any loss of anticipated profits but including any loss or expense
arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged
by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating
amounts payable by Borrower to Lenders under this Section 3.5, each Lender shall
be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar
Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a
comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar
Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

      3.6   MATTERS APPLICABLE TO ALL REQUESTS FOR COMPENSATION. A certificate
of Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3 and setting
forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, Agent
or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

      3.7   MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

            (a)   Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender
      requests compensation under Section 3.4, or the Borrower is required to
      pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
      the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, or if any Lender gives
      a notice pursuant to Section 3.2, 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 3.1 or 3.4, as the case may be, in the
      future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.2, 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 Borrower hereby agrees 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 3.4, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional
      amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
      Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, the Borrower may replace such Lender in
      accordance with Section 10.11.

      3.8   SURVIVAL. All of Borrower's obligations under this Section 3 shall
survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other
Obligations hereunder.

      4.1   CONDITIONS OF INITIAL CREDIT EXTENSION. The obligation of each
Lender to make its initial Credit Extension hereunder is subject to satisfaction

            (d)   The Closing Date shall have occurred on or before August 31,
      2004.

      4.2   CONDITIONS TO ALL CREDIT EXTENSIONS. The obligation of each Lender
to honor any Request for Credit Extension is subject to the following conditions
precedent:

            (a)   The representations and warranties of Borrower and each other
      Loan Party contained in Section 5 or any other Loan Document, or which are
      contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection
      herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct on and as of the date of
      such Credit Extension, except to the extent that such representations and
      warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall
      be true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes
      of this Section 4.2, the representations and warranties contained in
      subsections (i) and (ii) of Section 5.3 shall be deemed to refer to the
      most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b),
      respectively, of Section 6.1.

            (b)   No Default or Event of Default shall exist, or would result

5.1   ORGANIZATION, POWERS, QUALIFICATION, GOOD STANDING, BUSINESS AND
      SUBSIDIARIES.

case except where failure to be so qualified or in good standing or a lack of
such corporate power and authority has not had and will not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Schedule 5.1 annexed hereto (as so supplemented) correctly sets
forth the ownership interest of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in each of
the Subsidiaries of Borrower identified therein.

      (e)   Material Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, no Domestic
Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary except Bazooka Inc., Oakley Sales Corp. and

consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party, except
for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the Closing
Date and disclosed in writing to Lenders.

Parties of the each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not and

unusual forward or long-term commitment (other than any Contingent Obligation
permitted under Section 7.4) that is not reflected in the foregoing financial
statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case is material in
relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial
or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as
the case may be, other than as permitted by this Agreement, it being agreed that
an adverse change in general economic conditions shall not constitute an adverse
change in the prospects of Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

5.4   NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE.

      Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, no event or change has
occurred that has caused or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a

to Section 6.1, in each case except for assets disposed of since the date of

permitted under Section 7.6. Except as permitted by this Agreement, all such
properties and assets are free and clear of Liens.

5.6   LITIGATION; ADVERSE FACTS.

      There are no actions, suits, proceedings, arbitrations or governmental
investigations (whether or not purportedly on behalf of Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries) at law or in equity or before or by any federal, state, municipal
or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or
instrumentality, domestic or foreign, pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower,
threatened against or affecting Borrower or any or its Subsidiaries or any
property of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

applicable Laws that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) subject to or in default
with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or

and reports of Borrower and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them
have been timely filed, and all material taxes, assessments, fees and other
governmental charges upon Borrower and its Subsidiaries and upon their
respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which are due
and payable have been paid when due and payable. Borrower knows of no proposed
tax assessment against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is not being
actively contested by Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, in good
faith and by appropriate proceedings; provided that such reserves or other
appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP
shall have been made or provided therefor.

5.8   PERFORMANCE OF AGREEMENTS.

      None of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or
conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations which default could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no condition
exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of
such default or defaults, if any, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Obligations unenforceable.

      None of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries is engaged or will engage,
principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing

Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing or drawing under
each Letter of Credit, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of
Borrower only or of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis)
subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 or Section 7.6 or subject to any
restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between Borrower and any
Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness and within the
scope of Section 8.1(e) will be margin stock.

provides post-retirement welfare benefits to its employees (other than (i)
benefits the full cost of which is borne by employees or their beneficiaries,
(ii) post retirement medical benefits to certain of the Executive Officers of
Borrower and members of their immediate families, (iii) benefits that are
mandated under applicable Laws or (iv) benefits the cost of which is not

limitation, all operations and conditions at or in the Facilities) comply in all
material respects with applicable Environmental Laws, and Borrower and its
Subsidiaries have obtained all Governmental Authorizations under Environmental
Laws that are material and necessary to their respective operations, and all
such Governmental Authorizations are in good standing, and Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with all material terms and conditions of such
Governmental Authorizations. To Borrower's knowledge, no Hazardous Materials

expose Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any Environmental Liability that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      There is no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

contained in any Loan Document or in any other document, certificate or written
statement furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact (known to Borrower, in the case of any
document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in
which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information
contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions
believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by
Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts
and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such
projections may differ from the projected results.

      5.17  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Each of Borrower and each Subsidiary is in
compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all
orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties,
except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ,
injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

      5.18  INSURANCE. The properties of Borrower and its Subsidiaries are
insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates
of Borrower, in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance
compatible with the following standards), with such deductibles and covering
such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses
and owning similar properties in localities where Borrower or the applicable
Subsidiary operates.

names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other
intellectual property rights (collectively, "IP RIGHTS") that are reasonably
necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict
with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of Borrower, no
slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or
other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by Borrower or
any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or
litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge
of Borrower, threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      5.20  RIGHTS IN COLLATERAL; PRIORITY OF LIENS. Borrower and each other
Loan Party own the property granted by it as Collateral under the Collateral
Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens in favor of third parties. Upon
the proper filing of UCC financing statements, and the taking of the other

Collateral Documents will constitute valid and enforceable first, prior and
perfected Liens on the Collateral in favor of Agent, for the ratable benefit of
Agent and Lenders.

      fee due hereunder, or (iii) within five days after the same becomes due,
      any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or

            (b)   SPECIFIC COVENANTS. Borrower fails to perform or observe any
      term, covenant or agreement contained in any of Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.5,
      6.8, and 6.11 or Section 7; or

            (c)   OTHER DEFAULTS. Any Loan Party fails to perform or observe any
      other covenant or agreement (not specified in subsection (a) or (b) above)
      contained in any Loan Document on its part to be performed or observed and
      such failure continues for 30 days or any default or Event of Default
      occurs under any other Loan Document; or

            (d)   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Any representation, warranty,
      certification or statement of fact made or deemed made by or on behalf of

      incorrect or misleading when made or deemed made; or

            (e)   CROSS-DEFAULT.

                  (i) Borrower or any Subsidiary (A) fails to make any payment
            when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment,
            acceleration, demand, or otherwise) in respect of any Indebtedness
            or Guarantee (other than Indebtedness hereunder and Indebtedness
            under Swap Contracts) having an aggregate principal amount
            (including undrawn committed or available amounts and including
            amounts owing to all creditors under any combined or syndicated
            credit arrangement) of more than the Threshold Amount, or (B) fails

                                       56

<PAGE>

            agreement or condition relating to any such Indebtedness or
            Guarantee or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing,
            securing or relating thereto, or any other event occurs, the effect
            of which default or other event is to cause, or to permit the holder
            or holders of such Indebtedness or the beneficiary or beneficiaries
            of such Guarantee (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or
            holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) to cause, with the giving
            of notice if required, such Indebtedness to be demanded or to become
            due or to be repurchased, prepaid, defeased or redeemed
            (automatically or otherwise), or an offer to repurchase, prepay,
            defease or redeem such Indebtedness to be made, prior to its stated
            maturity, or such Guarantee to become payable or cash collateral in
            respect thereof to be demanded; provided, however, in the case of
            (B), if such default is by a Foreign Subsidiary, the Event of
            Default shall be deemed to occur if such default is not cured within
            60 days of its occurrence; or

            (ii) there occurs under any Swap Contract an Early Termination Date
            (as defined in such Swap Contract) resulting from any event of
            default under such Swap Contract as to which Borrower or any
            Subsidiary is the Defaulting Party (as defined in such Swap
            Contract) and the Swap Termination Value owed by Borrower or such
            Subsidiary as a result thereof is greater than the Threshold Amount;
            or

            (f)   INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS, ETC. Any Loan Party or any of its
      Subsidiaries institutes or consents to the institution of any proceeding
      under any Debtor Relief Law, or makes an assignment for the benefit of
      creditors; or applies for or consents to the appointment of any receiver,
      trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar
      officer for it or for all or any material part of its property; or any
      receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or
      similar officer is appointed without the application or consent of such
      Person and the appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for 60
      calendar days; or any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to
      any such Person or to all or any material part of its property is
      instituted without the consent of such Person and continues undismissed or
      unstayed for 60 calendar days, or an order for relief is entered in any
      such proceeding; or

            (g)   INABILITY TO PAY DEBTS; ATTACHMENT. (i) Borrower or any
      Subsidiary becomes unable or admits in writing its inability or fails
      generally to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) any writ or warrant

      all or any material part of the property of any such Person and is not
      released, vacated or fully bonded within 30 days after its issue or levy;
      or

            (h)   JUDGMENTS. There is entered against Borrower or any Subsidiary
      one or more final judgments or orders for the payment of money in an
      aggregate amount exceeding the Threshold Amount (to the extent not covered
      by independent third-party insurance as to which the insurer does not
      dispute coverage), and (i) enforcement proceedings are commenced by any
      creditor upon such judgment or order, or (ii) there is a period of 30
      consecutive days during which such judgment or judgments remain unpaid or
      a stay of enforcement of such judgment or judgments, by reason of a
      pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect; or

            (i)   ERISA. (i) An ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Pension
      Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be
      expected to result in liability of Borrower under Title IV of ERISA to the
      Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or the PBGC in an aggregate amount in
      excess of the Threshold Amount, or (ii) Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate
      fails to pay when due, after the expiration of any applicable grace
      period, any installment payment with respect to its withdrawal liability
      under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan in an aggregate
      amount in excess of the Threshold Amount; or

            (j)   BREACH OR INVALIDITY OF LOAN DOCUMENTS. Any Loan Document, at
      any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as
      expressly permitted hereunder or satisfaction in full of all the
      Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect; or any Loan Party or
      any other Person contests in any manner the validity or enforceability of
      any Loan Document; or any Loan Party denies that it has any or further
      liability or obligation under any Loan Document, or purports to revoke,
      terminate or rescind any Loan Document or breaches its obligations under
      any Loan Document; or

                                       57

<PAGE>

            (k)   CHANGE OF CONTROL. There occurs any Change of Control; or

            (l)   FAILURE OF SECURITY. Any Collateral Document, for any reason
      other than the satisfaction in full of all Obligations shall cease to be
      in full force and effect or the protection or security afforded Agent and
      Lenders in any substantial portion of the Collateral purported to be
      encumbered thereby is in any material respect impaired for any reason
      (other than the release thereof in accordance with Section 9.12 or the
      gross negligence of Agent); Borrower shall default in any material respect
      in the performance or observation of any term, covenant, condition or
      agreement on its part to be performed or observed under the Collateral
      Documents; or for any reason (other than the release of Collateral in
      accordance with Section 9.12 or the gross negligence of Agent) Agent shall
      fail to have a valid, perfected and enforceable first-priority Lien on any
      Collateral; or Borrower shall contest in any manner that any Collateral
      Document to which it is a party constitutes its valid and enforceable
      agreement; or Borrower shall assert in any manner that it has no further
      obligation or liability under any such Collateral Document which has not,
      theretofore, been terminated in accordance with Section 9.12;

      8.2   REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default occurs and
is continuing, Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the
Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

            (a)   declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any
      obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C-BA Credit Extensions to be
      terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

            (b)   declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans,
      all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or
      payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due
      and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
      kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower;

            (c)   require that Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C-BA
      Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof);
      and

            (d)   exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and
      remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or
      applicable Law;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of
the L/C Issuer to make L/C-BA Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate,
the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other
amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the
obligation of Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C-BA Obligations as aforesaid
shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of Agent
or any Lender.

      8.3   APPLICATION OF FUNDS. After the exercise of remedies provided for in
Section 8.2 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and
payable and the L/C-BA Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash
Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.2), any amounts received
on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Agent in the following order:

      First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs and amounts
payable under Section 3) payable to Agent in its capacity as such;

      Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the
Lenders (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Section 3), ratably
among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable
to them;

                                       58

<PAGE>

      Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued
and unpaid interest on the Loans, L/C-BA Borrowings and other Obligations,
ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in
this clause Third payable to them;

      Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Loans and L/C-BA Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders in
proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by
them; and to the payment of the maximum amount of all Bankers' Acceptances then
outstanding, such payment to be for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer (or
to the extent Lenders have theretofore funded their participations in any such
Bankers' Acceptance, ratably among such Lenders in accordance with their Pro
Rata Shares);

      Fifth, to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize
that portion of L/C-BA Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of
Letters of Credit; and

      Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

      Subject to Section 2.3(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the
aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above
shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.
If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all 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.

SECTION 9.  AGENT

      9.1   APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF AGENT.

            (a)   Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and
      authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
      this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers
      and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of
      this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as
      are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the
      contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Agent
      shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
      forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
      relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants,
      functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be
      read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist
      against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,
      the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with
      reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other
      implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
      applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market
      custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
      relationship between independent contracting parties.

            (b)   The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect
      to any Letters of Credit and Bankers' Acceptances issued by it and the
      Issuer Documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all
      of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Agent in this Section 9
      with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in
      connection with Letters of Credit and Bankers' Acceptances issued by it or
      proposed to be issued by it and the Issuer Documents pertaining to such
      Letters of Credit and Bankers' Acceptances as fully as if the term "Agent"
      as used in this Section 9 and in the definition of "Agent-Related Person"
      included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii)
      as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

      9.2   DELEGATION OF DUTIES. Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other
consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

                                       59

<PAGE>

      9.3   LIABILITY OF AGENT. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection
with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be
responsible in any manner to any Lender or Participant for any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer
thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party
or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender
or Participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of
any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan
Party or any Affiliate thereof.

      9.4   RELIANCE BY AGENT.

            (a)   Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
      in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution,
      representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
      facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement
      or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct
      and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and
      upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan
      Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent
      shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
      any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence
      of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it
      shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any
      and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of
      taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be
      fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
      Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or
      consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may
      be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any
      action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all
      the Lenders.

            (b)   For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
      specified in Section 4.1, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall
      be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied
      with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to
      or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Agent
      shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing
      Date specifying its objection thereto.

      9.5   NOTICE OF DEFAULT. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the
payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the
account of the Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a
Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and
stating that such notice is a "notice of default." Agent will notify the Lenders
of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with
Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such
direction, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem
advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

      9.6   CREDIT DECISION; DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION BY AGENT. Each Lender
acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or
warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any consent
to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party
or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including
whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their
possession. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective
Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory

                                       60

Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision
to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower and the other Loan
Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as
it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the
other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent herein, Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any
Agent-Related Person.

      9.7   INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT. Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand
each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any
Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro
rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall
be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Agent-Related Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided,
however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required
Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for
purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall
reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein,
to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of
Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the
Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation
of Agent.

      9.8   AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Bank of America and its Affiliates
may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits
from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan
Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not Agent
or the L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The
Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its
Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates
(including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in
favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent shall be
under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its
Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though
it were not Agent or the L/C Issuer, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders"
include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

      9.9   SUCCESSOR AGENT. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days' notice to
the Lenders; provided that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also
constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. If Agent resigns
under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders
a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative
agent shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the
existence of an Event of Default (which consent of Borrower shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is
appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may
appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor
administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as
such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and
duties of the retiring Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender and the
respective terms "Agent", "Agent", "L/C Issuer" and "Swing Line Lender" shall
mean such successor administrative agent, Letter of Credit issuer and swing line
lender, and the retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall
be terminated and the retiring L/C Issuer's and Swing Line Lender's rights,
powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act
or deed on the part of such retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender or any
other Lender, other than the obligation of the

                                       61

<PAGE>

successor L/C Issuer to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters
of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to 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.
After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date
which is 30 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the
retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and
the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

      9.10  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,
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C-BA Obligation
shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise
and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

            (a)   to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the
      principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C-BA
      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 and Agent (including any claim for the
      reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
      Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
      amounts due the Lenders and Agent under Sections 2.3(i) and (j), 2.9 and
      10.4) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

            (b)   to 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 to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Agent
any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent
under Sections 2.9 and 10.4. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to
vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

      9.11  GUARANTY MATTERS. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent,
at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the applicable Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a
Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by
Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing Agent's authority to
release any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty
pursuant to this Section 9.11.

      9.12  COLLATERAL MATTERS.

            (a)   Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to
      enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of such Lender. Each
      Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance
      thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth in
      Section 10.1, any action taken by the Required Lenders, in accordance with
      the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the
      exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or
      therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
      thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders. Agent is
      hereby authorized on behalf of all of Lenders, without the necessity of
      any notice to or further consent from any Lender from time to time prior
      to, an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral
      or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain
      perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral
      Documents.

                                       62

<PAGE>

            (b)   Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, at its option
      and in its discretion,

                        (i)   to release any Lien on any property granted to or
      held by Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the
      Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than
      contingent indemnification obligations and other obligations not then
      payable which expressly survive termination) and the expiration or
      termination of all Letters of Credit and Bankers' Acceptances, (B) that is
      sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted
      hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (C) subject to Section 10.1,
      if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or
      (D) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition of
      Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and

                        (ii)  to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to
      or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such
      property that is permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Upon request by Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing Agent's
authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of
Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.12.

            (c)   Subject to (b) above, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably
      authorized by each Lender, to) execute such documents as may be necessary
      to evidence the release or subordination of the Liens granted to Agent for
      the benefit of Agent and Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the
      applicable Collateral; provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to
      execute any such document on terms which, in Agent's opinion, would expose
      Agent to or create any liability or entail any consequence other than the
      release or subordination of such Liens without recourse or warranty and
      (ii) such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge,
      affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of
      Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by
      Borrower or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of the sale, all
      of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event
      of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to
      any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all expenses
      reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer
      or foreclosure.

            (d)   Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any
      other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower
      or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the
      Liens granted to Agent herein or in any of the Collateral Documents or
      pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully
      created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any
      particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in
      any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the
      rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this
      Section 9.12 or in any of the Collateral Documents, it being understood
      and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or
      event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem
      appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent's own interest in the
      Collateral as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or
      liability whatsoever to Lenders.

            (e)   Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the
      purpose of perfecting Lenders' security interest in assets which, in
      accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession.
      Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such
      Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon
      Agent's request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in
      accordance with Agent's instructions.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

      10.1  AMENDMENTS, ETC.. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by
Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing
signed by the Required Lenders and Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the
case may be,

                                       63

<PAGE>

provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

            (a)   waive any condition set forth in Section 4.1(a) without the
      written consent of each Lender; provided, however, in the sole discretion
      of Agent, only a waiver by Agent shall be required with respect to
      immaterial matters or items specified in Section 4.1(a) (iii) or (iv) with
      respect to which Borrower has given assurances satisfactory to Agent that
      such items shall be delivered promptly following the Closing Date;

      hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of
      each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the
      consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend the
      definition of "Default Rate" or to waive any obligation of Borrower to pay
      interest or L/C-BA Fees at the Default Rate or (ii) to amend any financial
      covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect
      of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or
      L/C-BA Borrowing or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

            (e)   change Section 2.13 or Section 8.3 in a manner that would
      alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the
      written consent of each Lender;

            (f)   change any provision of this Section or the definition of

      without the written consent of each Lender; or

            (g)   release any Guarantor from any Guaranty or release the Liens
      on all or substantially all of the Collateral except in accordance with
      the terms of any Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender;

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in

and signed by Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above,
affect the rights or duties of Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; and (iii)

addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of Agent
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 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.

            Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or
            telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.2 or to

                  (ii)  if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile
            number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its
            Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile

            designated by such party in a notice to Borrower, Agent, the L/C
            Issuer and Swing Line Lender.

      or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received;
      notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent
      (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient,
      shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next
      business day for the 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
      Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
      communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites)
      pursuant to procedures approved by Agent, provided that the foregoing
      shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such
      Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices
      under Section by electronic communication. Agent or Borrower 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.

            (c)   EFFECTIVENESS OF FACSIMILE DOCUMENTS AND SIGNATURES. Loan
      Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness
      of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law,
      have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be
      binding on all Loan Parties, Agent and the Lenders. Agent may also require
      that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed
      original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or

      document or signature.

      behalf of 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.
      Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from
      all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by
      such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower.
      All telephonic notices to and other communications with Agent may be
      recorded by Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such
      recording.

      10.3  NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure by any Lender or 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.

contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless
each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates,

(collectively the "INDEMNITEES") from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind
or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or

administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument
delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan,

presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit or Bankers' Acceptance), (c) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or
formerly owned or operated by Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party,
or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Borrower, any Subsidiary or
any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation
for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or
proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the
foregoing, collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"), 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 liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements 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. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages
arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained
through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for
any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or
therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this
Section 10.5 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor.
The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of Agent, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

      10.6  PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf
of Borrower is made to Agent or any Lender, or Agent or any Lender exercises its
right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off 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
Agent 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 set-off had
not occurred, and (b)

                                       66

<PAGE>

any amount so recovered from or repaid by 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 Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

      10.7  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

            (a)   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 Borrower may not assign or
      otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
      prior written consent of 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 Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
      under or by reason of this Agreement.

            (b)   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-BA
     Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) provided that
     (i) each of Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has  occurred  and is
     continuing,  Borrower  consents  (each such consent not to be  unreasonably
     withheld or delayed) and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which
     for this purpose  includes Loans  outstanding  thereunder)  subject to each
     such  assignment,  determined as of the date the  Assignment and Assumption
     with respect to such  assignment  is delivered to Agent or, if "Trade Date"
     is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,  as of the Trade Date, shall
     not be less than  $10,000,000;  provided further that (i) in the case of an
     assignment  to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund the
     consent of the Borrower shall not be required; (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 Agent,  the L/C Issuer and 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 Agent an Assignment and  Assumption,  together with a processing
     and recordation fee of $3,500.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
     by Agent  pursuant to subsection  (c) of this  Section,  from and after the
     effective date specified in each  Assignment and  Assumption,  the 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 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 10.4 and 10.5 with respect to facts and
     circumstances  occurring  prior to the effective date of such  assignment).
     Upon request, 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  any Lender
     may,  without the consent of either the Agent or the Borrower,  assign as a
     security interest all or a part of its rights this Agreement to any Federal
     Reserve Bank.

            (c)   Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower,
      shall maintain at 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

                                       67

<PAGE>

      L/C-BA 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 Borrower, 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
      Borrower, 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 other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any
      Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may
      request and receive from Agent a copy of the Register.

            (d)   Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice
      to, Borrower or Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a
      natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower'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-BA 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) Borrower, Agent
      and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
      Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
      Agreement. 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 Section 10.1(b)(c)(d) or (g) that directly affects such
      Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees
      that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1,
      3.4 and 3.5 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 10.9 as though it were a Lender, provided such
      Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a
      Lender.

            (e)   A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
      payment under Section 3.1 or 3.4 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 Borrower'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 3.1 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold
      to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
      Borrower, to comply with Section 3.1(e) as though it were a Lender.

            (f)   Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
      interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
      (including under its Note, 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)   "ELIGIBLE ASSIGNEE" as used herein, means (a) a Lender; (b) an
      Affiliate of a Lender; and (c) any other Person (other than a natural
      person) approved by (i) Agent, the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, and
      (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower
      (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided
      that notwithstanding the foregoing, "Eligible Assignee" shall not include
      Borrower or any of Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

            (h)   If the consent of Borrower to an assignment to an Eligible
      Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which
      does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in clause (i) of
      the proviso to the first sentence of Section 10.7(b)), Borrower shall be
      deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the date notice
      thereof has been delivered to Borrower by the assigning Lender (through
      Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrower prior to such
      fifth Business Day.

            (i)   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 Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon
      30 days' notice to Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of
      any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, Borrower 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 Borrower 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 or Bankers'
      Acceptances outstanding and all Bankers' Acceptances issuable under any
      Acceptance Credits outstanding, as of the effective date of its
      resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C-BA 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 2.3(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall
      retain all the rights of 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 2.4(c).

      10.8  CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of Agent and the Lenders 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
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
Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower 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 Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For purposes of this
Section, "INFORMATION" means all information received from Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their
respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to
Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower
or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from a
Borrower 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.

      10.9  SET-OFF. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without
prior notice to Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived
by Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other
indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the
account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to
such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter
existing, irrespective of whether or not Agent or such Lender shall have made
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency
different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender
agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

                                       69

<PAGE>

      10.10 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 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 Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted
for, charged, or received by 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.

      10.11 REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.4, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.1, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Lender and the 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 10.7), 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 Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee
      specified in Section 10.7(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 3.5)
      from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
      interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

            (c)   in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
      compensation under Section 3.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to
      Section 3.1, 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 Borrower to require such assignment and
      delegation cease to apply.

      10.12 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

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

      10.14 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 Agent and
each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Agent or any Lender or on
their behalf and notwithstanding that Agent or any Lender may have had notice or

                                       70

<PAGE>

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 or Bankers'
Acceptance shall remain outstanding.

      10.15 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.

      10.16 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.

            (a)   THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
      ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO
      AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED
      THAT AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL
      LAW.

            (b)   ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT
      OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF
      CALIFORNIA SITTING IN LOS ANGELES OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE CENTRAL
      DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT,
      BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS
      PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. BORROWER,
      AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY
      OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON
      CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY
      ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT
      OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER WAIVES
      PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE
      MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.

      10.17 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

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

      10.18 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE.

      Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies Borrower 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 Borrower,

the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such
Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.

                             AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS

      AIRCRAFT LEASE. Through December 2003, the Company leased an aircraft from
a company controlled by Mr. Jannard ("lessor") pursuant to a lease under which
the Company was obligated to make aggregate annual lease payments of $90,000, as
well as bear all costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the aircraft.
In October 2003, the lessor returned the plane to the manufacturer due to
operational issues and received a loaned plane in November 2003 to be used until
a new plane was received. The Company subsequently terminated the lease
agreement in December 2003 and entered into a new aircraft lease agreement which
provides that the Company is responsible only for all costs and expenses of
operating and maintaining the loaned plane, and is not responsible for making
any lease payments for its use of the aircraft. At such time that the lessor
receives a new plane from the manufacturer, which is expected to occur in the
fourth quarter of 2005, the Company has agreed to resume paying the lessor the
aggregate annual lease payment of $90,000. During 2003, the Company made
aggregate payments of $90,000 to the lessor under the aircraft lease agreement
and incurred approximately $1.7 million in costs and expenses associated with
the aircraft. The aircraft subject to the lease is principally used by Mr.
Jannard. In March 2004, the Company and the lessor entered into an Agreement and
Mutual Release which provides that the Company shall be responsible for the
payment of all ownership, personal property, use or similar tax and fees (the
"Property Taxes") arising out of or in connection with the Company's lease of
the aircraft, up to an aggregate of $125,000 per year. All remaining Property
Taxes will be borne by the lessor.

      PRIOR INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT. Between the beginning of 1998 and August
2002, Mr. Jannard borrowed money from the Company for use by Mr. Jannard in
connection with various matters unrelated to the business of Oakley. All of such
indebtedness was repaid by Mr. Jannard within one month of the date incurred
without interest. The largest amount of such indebtedness outstanding at any
time prior to August of 2002 was $174,140. In August 2002, as a result of the
restrictions on loans to directors and executive officers imposed by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Mr. Jannard provided the Company funds to draw upon
for use by Mr. Jannard for various personal matters unrelated to the business of
Oakley. As a result, subsequent to August 2002, Mr. Jannard has not had any
amounts of indebtedness outstanding to the Company. As of December 31, 2003, the
Company's net liability to Mr. Jannard was approximately $100,707.

      EMPLOYMENT OF JAMIN JANNARD. Jamin Jannard, Mr. Jannard's adult son, is
employed by the Company in the marketing department.

      TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT. In March 2000, the Company entered into a
trademark license agreement with a Delaware limited liability company
wholly-owned by Jim Jannard (the "LLC"). Pursuant to this agreement, the LLC has
assigned to the Company its right to purchase a truck and trailer to travel the
National Hot Rod Association ("NHRA") circuit and to sell certain products at
NHRA sanctioned events and has agreed to place Oakley's logo in prominent places
on the automobile and crew members' uniforms. The agreement shall continue for
so long as the LLC's sponsorship of race car driver Scotty Cannon continues,
unless sooner terminated by either party upon 30 days written notice to the
other party. Under the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay to the LLC an
annual fee of $100,000 for the placement of the logos as described above and to
pay the LLC a royalty rate, ranging between 10% and 25%, on net revenues (after
sales tax and returns) from sales by the Company of certain merchandise. In
2003, the Company paid royalties of approximately $42,000 to the LLC.
Additionally, Oakley will pay the NHRA a royalty of 20% on net revenues of all
merchandise sold. The Company will perform accounting services for the LLC as
agreed upon by the Company and the LLC and will be compensated in cash for such
services by the LLC at a fair market rate to be determined in good faith by the
Company's Board of Directors. The Company did not provide any accounting
services for the LLC in 2003. In June 2002, the Company amended the agreement to
provide certain additional rights in connection with LLC's sponsorship of Don
Schumacher Racing. Pursuant to the amended agreement, the LLC will work with
Schumacher in the entry of a funny car driven by Scotty Cannon and will provide
the Schumacher race team with Oakley products, including sunglasses, apparel and
accessories. Beginning in 2003, the LLC's sponsorship of Don Schumacher Racing
also included the entry of a funny car driven by Gary Scelzi.

Agreement with directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the

                                       3

<PAGE>

Company shall indemnify Indemnified Party to the extent Indemnified Party is
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding to
which Indemnified Party was a party because of being a director, officer,
employee, agent, fiduciary or consultant of the Company, against reasonable
Expenses incurred by Indemnified Party in connection with the Proceeding.

      4.    Excluded Coverage. The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify
Indemnified Party for any Losses or Expenses which arise from an Excluded Claim.

      5.    Indemnification Procedures.

            (a)   Promptly after receipt by Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of or the threat of commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnified
Party shall, if indemnification or advancement of Expenses with respect thereto
may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the
commencement or the threat of commencement thereof.

            (b)   If, at the time of the receipt of such notice, the Company has
D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the
commencement or the threat of commencement of such Proceeding to the appropriate
insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies
in favor of Indemnified Party. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary
or desirable action to cause such insurers to, in accordance with the terms of
such policies: (i) advance, to the extent permitted by law, any and all Expenses
to Indemnified Party, (ii) pay, on behalf of Indemnified Party, all amounts
(including, without limitation, Losses and Expenses) payable as a result of, or
in connection with, such Proceeding and (iii) reimburse Indemnified Party for
all amounts (including, without limitation, Losses and Expenses) paid by
Indemnified Party as a result of, or in connection with, such Proceeding.

            (c)   To the extent the Company does not, at the time of the
commencement of or the threat of commencement of such Proceeding, have
applicable D&O Insurance, or if a Determination is made that any Loss, Fine or
Expense of the Indemnified Party arising out of such Proceeding will not be
payable under the D&O Insurance then in effect, the Company shall be obligated
to pay the Covered Amount with respect to any Proceeding and to provide counsel
satisfactory to Indemnified Party upon the delivery to Indemnified Party of
written notice of the Company's election to do so. After delivery of such
notice, the Company will not be liable to Indemnified Party under this Agreement
for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party
in connection with such defense other than the reasonable Expenses of
investigation of Indemnified Party; provided, that Indemnified Party shall have
the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with the defense of any
such Proceeding, the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after delivery
of notice from the Company of its assumption of such defense to be at the
Indemnified Party's sole expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the
employment of counsel by Indemnified Party has been previously authorized by the
Company, (ii) Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there
may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnified Party in the
conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in

                                       4

<PAGE>

fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each
such case, the fees and expenses of such counsel retained by Indemnified Party
shall be at the expense of the Company. In the event Indemnified Party is
entitled to employ counsel at the Company's expense pursuant to the terms of
this Paragraph 5(c), and if so requested in writing by Indemnified Party, the
Company shall advance any and all Expenses to Indemnified Party to the extent
permitted by law.

            (d)   All payments on account of the Company's indemnification or
advancement obligations under Paragraph 5(b) of this Agreement shall be made
within sixty (60) days of Indemnified Party's written request therefor unless a
Determination is made that the claims giving rise to Indemnified Party's request
are Excluded Claims or otherwise not payable under this Agreement. All payments
on account of the Company's obligations under Paragraph 5(c) of this Agreement
shall be made within 20 days of Indemnified Party's written request therefor,
subject to Paragraph 5(e) of this Agreement.

            (e)   In the event that (i) a Determination is made that the claims
giving rise to Indemnified Party's request are Excluded Claims or otherwise not
payable under this Agreement or (ii) it is Adjudged that the Indemnified Party
is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for Losses or Expenses under
this Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the Act, the
Company shall have no obligation to indemnify, or advance any Expenses to
Indemnified Party. Further, in either case, Indemnified Party agrees that he or
she will reimburse the Company for all Losses and Expenses paid by the Company
and all Expenses advanced by the Company in connection with such Proceeding
against Indemnified Party.

      6.    Settlement. The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify
Indemnified Party under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any
Proceeding effected without the Company's prior written consent. The Company
shall not settle any claim in any manner which would impose any loss or expense
on Indemnified Party without Indemnified Party's prior written consent, unless
the Company provides a written undertaking to the Indemnified Party to pay for
such loss or expense on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Neither the Company nor
Indemnified Party shall unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed
settlement.

      7.    Rights Not Exclusive. The rights provided hereunder shall be in
addition to any other rights to which Indemnified Party may be entitled under
the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Act, any agreement or vote of
shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnified Party's
official capacity and as to action in any other capacity, and such rights shall
continue after Indemnified Party ceases to serve the Company as a director or
officer.

      8.    Enforcement.

            (a)   Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification or advancement
of Expenses hereunder shall be enforceable by Indemnified Party notwithstanding
any adverse Determination. In any such action, if a prior adverse Determination
has been made, the burden of proving that indemnification or advancement of
Expenses is required

                                       5

<PAGE>

under this Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the Act shall
be on the Indemnified Party. The Company shall have the burden of proving that
indemnification or advancement of Expenses is not required under this Agreement
if no prior adverse Determination shall have been made.

            (b)   In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnified
Party under this Agreement, or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this
Agreement, Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Indemnified Party with
respect to such action, unless the court determines that each of the material
assertions made by Indemnified Party as a basis for such action were not made in
good faith or were frivolous.

      9.    No Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of
any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court
approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendre, or its equivalent,
shall not create a presumption that the Indemnified Party did not meet any
particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has
determined that indemnification or advancement of Expenses by the Company is not
permitted hereunder or by applicable law. In addition, neither the absence of a
Determination as to whether Indemnified Party has met any particular standard of
conduct or had any particular belief or the existence of a Determination that
Indemnified Party has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such
belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnified Party to
secure an Adjudication that Indemnified Party should be indemnified or advanced
or reimbursed Expenses hereunder or under applicable law, shall be a defense to
Indemnified Party's claim or create a presumption that Indemnified Party has not
met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief.

      10.   Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnified Party, who shall execute all papers required and
shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the
execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company to effectively bring
suit to enforce such rights.

      11.   No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under
this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Proceeding against
Indemnified Party to the extent Indemnified Party has otherwise actually
received payment (under any D&O Insurance , the Articles of Incorporation, the
Bylaws, the Act or otherwise) of the amounts which may be paid hereunder.

      12.   Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to require the Company to do or
to fail to do an act which is in violation of the Articles of Incorporation, the
Bylaws or the Act or other applicable law, such provision shall be limited or
modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to avoid such
violation, and, as so limited or modified, such provision and the remainder of
this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with the respective terms.

                                       6

<PAGE>

      13.   Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without
reference to conflicts of law principles therein.

      14.   Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be (i) binding upon all
successors and assigns of the Company (including any transferee of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets and any successor by merger or
otherwise by operation of law) and (ii) binding on and inure to the benefit of
the heirs, personal representatives and estate of Indemnified Party. Indemnified
Party may not assign this Agreement or any of Indemnified Party's rights
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.

      15.   Amendment. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation
of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in a writing signed by each of
the parties hereto.
