amount as is equal to the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the
Initial Borrowing Date (after giving effect to any termination thereof pursuant
to Section 2.09(a), but prior to any reduction thereto pursuant to Section
2.09(c)). Once repaid, Tranche B Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be

<PAGE>

     (c) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment severally agrees, at any time and from
time to time during the Revolving Credit Period, to make a revolving loan or
revolving loans (each, a "Revolving Loan" and, collectively, the "Revolving
Loans") to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) shall be denominated in
Dollars, (ii) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained
as and/or converted into Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, provided that
all Revolving Loans made as part of the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type,
(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof and
(iv) shall not exceed for any Lender at any time outstanding that aggregate
principal amount which, when combined with the sum of (I) the aggregate
principal amount of all other then outstanding Revolving Loans made by such
Lender and (II) the product of (A) such Lender's RL Percentage multiplied by
(B) the sum of (x) the Aggregate LC Exposure (exclusive of LC Reimbursement
Obligations which are paid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the
incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and
(y) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of
Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with
the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then
outstanding, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender at such time.

     (d) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swingline Lender agrees to make at any time and from time to time after the
Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan
or revolving loans to the Borrower (each, a "Swingline Loan" and, collectively,
the "Swingline Loans"), which Swingline Loans (i) shall be made and maintained
as Base Rate Loans, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) may be repaid
and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed
in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the
aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and the
Aggregate LC Exposure (exclusive of LC Reimbursement Obligations which are
repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the
respective incurrence of Swingline Loans) at such time, an amount equal to the
Total Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect and (v) shall not exceed in
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline
Amount. The Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans
at a time when a Lender Default exists unless the Swingline Lender has entered
into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the
Swingline Lender's risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender's or Lenders'
participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such
Defaulting Lender's or Lenders' RL Percentage of the outstanding Swingline
Loans. The Swingline Lender will not make a Swingline Loan after it has
received written notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders stating that
a Default exists until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received a
written notice of (i) rescission of such notice from the party or parties
originally delivering the same or (ii) a waiver of such Default from the
Required Lenders.

     (e) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion,
give notice to the RL Lenders that its outstanding Swingline Loans shall be
funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (provided that each such notice
shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon occurrence of a Default
under Section 6.01(g) or (h) or upon the exercise of any remedies provided in
the last paragraph of Section 6.01), in which case a Borrowing of Revolving

                                     -29-
<PAGE>

Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a "Mandatory
Borrowing") shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all RL
Lenders pro rata based on each RL Lender's RL Percentage, and the proceeds
thereof shall be applied directly to repay the Swingline Lender for such
outstanding Swingline Loans. Each such Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make
Base Rate Loans upon one Business Day's notice pursuant to each Mandatory
Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence
and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding
(i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum
Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions
specified in Section 3.02 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such
Mandatory Borrowing and (v) any reduction in the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that a
Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise
required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement
of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower), each RL
Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) hereby agrees that it shall forthwith
purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such
assignment of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause
the RL Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their
respective RL Percentages, provided that all interest payable on the Swingline
Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the
respective assignment is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the
purchased assignment, shall be payable to the RL Lender purchasing same from
and after such date of purchase.

     SECTION 2.02. Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc.; Pro rata Borrowings. (a)
The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under any Tranche
shall not be less than the respective Minimum Borrowing Amount for such
Tranche; provided that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in amounts required
by Section 2.01(e). More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at
no time shall there be outstanding more than [15] Borrowings of Euro-Dollar
Loans.

     (b) All Borrowings of Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and
Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro
rata on the basis of their Tranche A Term Loan Commitments, Tranche B Term Loan
Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be. It is understood
that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its
obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to
make the Loans to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any
other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

     SECTION 2.03. Method of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to
incur Loans hereunder (excluding Borrowings of Swingline Loans and Loans
incurred pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing) it shall give the Agent notice (a
"Notice of Borrowing") no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on (x) the
date of each Base Rate Borrowing and (y) the third Business Day before each
Euro-Dollar Borrowing. Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be given by written

shall specify:

          (i) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day);

                                     -30-
<PAGE>

         (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred
       pursuant to such Borrowing;

        (iii) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall
       constitute Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Revolving Loans;

         (iv) whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to bear interest
       initially at the Base Rate or a Euro-Dollar Rate; and

          (v) in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the
       initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of
       the definition of Interest Period.

     (b) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall notify
each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the
respective Notice of Borrowing of the contents thereof and of such Lender's
ratable share of such Borrowing, and such Notice of Borrowing shall not
thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

     (c) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder,
it shall give the Swingline Lender, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the day such Swingline Loan is to be made, written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline Loan to be
made hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify in each
case (x) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (y) the
aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loan to be made pursuant to such
Borrowing.

     (ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in
Section 2.01(e), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of
any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such
Section 2.01(e).

     (d) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of each
Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 2:00 P.M. (New
York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.03(c)(i) or (y) in the case
of Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to Mandatory Borrowings, no later than
12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(e)), each
Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche shall make available its
ratable share of such Borrowing (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, the
Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof), in Federal or
other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at its address
specified in or pursuant to Section 10.01. Unless the Agent determines that any
applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been satisfied, the Agent
will make any funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in
Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City no later than
2:00 P.M. (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, 3:00 P.M.) (New York City time)
on the date of such Borrowing by credit to an account of the Borrower at the
Agent's aforesaid address or to such other account of the Borrower in New York
City as may have been specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and as
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

                                     -31-
<PAGE>

     (e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender before the
date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent
such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section, and the Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so
made such share available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at
(i) if such amount is repaid by the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the
interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.05 and (ii) if such
amount is repaid by such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall
repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, the Borrower shall not be
required to repay such amount and the amount so repaid by such Lender shall
constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 2.04. Maturity of Loans. Subject to earlier maturity pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, each Loan shall mature, and the principal amount
thereof shall be due and payable (together with interest accrued thereon), on
(x) in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Expiry Date and (y) in the
case of Term Loans and Revolving Loans, the respective Maturity Date.

     SECTION 2.05. Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such
Loan is made until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan into
a Euro-Dollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, at a rate per annum equal to the
sum of (x) the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus (y) the Base Rate for such day.
Such interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment
Date and, with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted
to a Euro-Dollar Loan, on the date such amount is so converted. Any overdue
principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on
demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus
the Applicable Base Rate Margin for such day plus the Base Rate for such day.

     (b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto
until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Euro-Dollar Loan into a Base Rate
Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or Article 8, as applicable, at a rate per annum
equal to the sum of (x) the Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin plus (y) the Adjusted
London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest Period. Such interest
shall be payable (x) on the date of any conversion into a Base Rate Loan
pursuant to Section 2.06 or Article 8, as applicable (on the amount so
converted) and (y) for each Interest Period, on the last day thereof and, if
such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months
after the first day thereof.

     (c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall
bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum
equal to the higher of (i) the sum of 2% plus the Applicable Euro-Dollar Margin
plus the Adjusted London Interbank

                                     -32-
<PAGE>

Offered Rate applicable to such Loan on the day before such payment was due and
(ii) the sum of 2% plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for
such day (or, if the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section
8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the
Applicable Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for such day).

     (d) The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the participating
Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     (e) Each Reference Lender agrees to use its best efforts to furnish
quotations to the Agent as contemplated by the definition of London Interbank
Offered Rate. If any Reference Lender does not furnish a timely quotation, the
Agent shall determine the relevant interest rate on the basis of the quotation
or quotations furnished by the remaining Reference Lender or Lenders or, if
none of such quotations is available on a timely basis, the provisions of
Section 8.01 shall apply.

     SECTION 2.06. Method of Electing Interest Rates. (a) The Loans included in
each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the rate applicable to Loans of
the Type specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.
Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the
interest rate option applicable to each Borrowing (subject to subsection (d) of
this Section and the provisions of Article 8), as follows:

            (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect
       to convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Business Day, and

           (ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may
       elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue
       such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period,
       subject to Section 2.13 if any such conversion is effective on any day
       other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such
       Loans.

     Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a "Notice of
Interest Rate Election") to the Agent no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time) on the third Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected
in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if
it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of
the relevant Borrowing; provided that (i) such portion shall be allocated
ratably among the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) the portion to which
such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply,
shall each be at least equal to the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
thereto. If no such notice is timely received before the end of an Interest
Period for any Borrowing of Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have elected that such Borrowing of Euro-Dollar be converted to Base Rate Loans
at the end of such then current Interest Period.

     (b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

               (i) the Borrowing (or portion thereof) to which such notice
       applies;

                                     -33-
<PAGE>

              (ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected
       in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the
       applicable clause of subsection (a) above;

             (iii) if the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be
       converted, the new Type of Loans and, if the Loans resulting from such
       conversion are to be Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the next
       succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

              (iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans
       for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional
       Interest Period.

     Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall
comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

     (c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the
Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Agent shall notify each Lender
of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by
the Borrower.

     (d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to,
or continue any Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Euro-Dollar Loans
if (i) the aggregate principal amounts of any Borrowing of Euro-Dollar Loans
created or continued as a result of such election would be less than the
Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto or (ii) a Default shall have
occurred and be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election
to the Agent.

     SECTION 2.07. Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the
account of each RL Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, a commitment fee
(the "Commitment Fee") computed at the rate for each day equal to the
Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage on the daily Unutilized Revolving Loan
Commitment for such Lender. The Commitment Fee shall accrue from and including
the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment terminates in its entirety.

     (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the several account of each
RL Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in proportion to their RL
Percentages, a letter of credit fee (the "LC Fee") for each day computed at a
rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as
Euro-Dollar Loans on the aggregate Stated Amounts under all Letters of Credit
outstanding at the close of business on such day. The Borrower shall pay to
each LC Issuing Bank a fronting fee (the "Fronting Fee") for each day of 0.25%
per annum on the aggregate Stated Amounts under all Letters of Credit issued by
such LC Issuing Bank and outstanding at the close of business on such day, and
other reasonable and customary processing charges.

     (c) Fees accrued for the several accounts of the Lenders under this
Section shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date
and on the day on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment terminates in its
entirety.

     (d) The Borrower shall pay when due to the Agent, for its own account,
such other fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the
Agent.

     SECTION 2.08. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The
Borrower may (without premium or penalty), upon at least three Business Days'
notice to the Agent, terminate or partially reduce the Total Unutilized
Revolving Loan Commitments, provided that (i) each such reduction shall apply
proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL
Lender and (ii) any partial reduction to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan
Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be in an amount of at least
$5,000,000 and, if greater, in integral multiples of $1,000,000. Promptly after
receiving a notice pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall notify each Lender
of the contents thereof.

     SECTION 2.09. Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Total Commitment
(and the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment, the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment and
the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety
on August 31, 2000 unless the Initial Borrowing Date shall have occurred on or
prior to such date.

     (b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to
this Section 2.09, the Total Tranche A Term Loan Commitment (and the Tranche A
Term Loan Commitment of each Bank) shall terminate in its entirety on the
Initial Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the making of the Tranche A Term
Loans on such date).

     (c) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to
this Section 2.09, the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitment (and the Tranche B
Term Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the
Initial Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the making of the Tranche B Term
Loans on such date).

     (d) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to
this Section 2.09, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan
Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Revolving
Loan Maturity Date.

     (e) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to
this Section 2.09, on each date after the Initial Borrowing Date upon which a
mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(d) through (f),
inclusive, is required (and exceeds in amount the aggregate principal amount of
Term Loans then outstanding) or would be required if Term Loans were then
outstanding, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanently reduced
by the amount, if any, by which the amount required to be applied pursuant to
said Sections (determined as if an unlimited amount of Term Loans were actually
outstanding) exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then
outstanding.

     (f) Each reduction to the Total Tranche A Term Loan Commitment, the Total
Tranche B Term Loan Commitment and the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant
to this Section 2.09 (or pursuant to Section 2.10) shall be applied
proportionately to reduce the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment, the Tranche B
Term Loan Commitment or the Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be, of
each Lender with such a Commitment.

     SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Repayments. (a) On any day on which the sum of (i)
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swingline
Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) and
(ii) the Aggregate LC Exposure

                                     -35-
<PAGE>

exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower
shall prepay on such date principal of Swingline Loans and to the extent no
Swingline Loans are or remain outstanding, Revolving Loans, in an amount equal
to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding
Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the Aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the
Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower agrees to pay
to the Agent an amount in cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to such excess (up
to the amount of the Aggregate LC Exposure at such time) and the Agent shall
hold such payment as security for the obligations of the Borrower hereunder
pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, provided that if the Revolving
Loan Commitments shall have been terminated, all other amounts payable
hereunder shall have been paid in full and no Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Agent shall from time to time upon the request of the
Borrower return to the Borrower such portion of such amount as the Agent in its
sole discretion determines is no longer needed to secure the Aggregate LC
Exposure and related fees and expenses payable under this Agreement.

     (b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions
pursuant to this Section 2.10, on each date set forth below, the Borrower shall
be required to repay that principal amount of Tranche A Term Loans, to the
extent then outstanding, as is set forth opposite such date (each such
repayment, as the same may be reduced as provided in Sections 2.10(g) and 2.11,
a "Tranche A Scheduled Repayment," and each such date, a "Tranche A Scheduled
Repayment Date"):

     (d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section
2.10, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Repayment Event, an
amount equal to the Applicable Repayment Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds
therefrom shall be applied as a mandatory repayment of principal of Term Loans
in accordance with the requirements of Sections 2.10(g) and (h); provided that
with respect to (i) the disposition of obsolete, unused or unnecessary
equipment in the ordinary course of business and (ii) no more than $25,000,000
in the aggregate for any Fiscal Year and $50,000,000 in the aggregate during
the term of this Agreement, in each case, of Net Cash Proceeds (other than sale
proceeds held in reserve which thereafter become Net Sale Proceeds in
accordance with clause (y)(III) of the definition of "Net Sale Proceeds")
received in connection with any Asset Sale (other than pursuant to the
immediately preceding clause (i)), the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (such Net
Cash Proceeds actually received and not used to make repayments described
above, the "Retained Asset Sale Proceeds") shall not be required to be so
applied on such date to the extent no Default then exists and the Borrower
delivers a certificate to the Agent on or prior to such date stating that such
Retained Asset Sale Proceeds shall be used (or contractually committed to be
used) for reinvestment in other assets owned or to be owned by the Borrower or
a Subsidiary of the Borrower within 360-days following the date of such Asset
Sale (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so
expended) or to make Permitted Acquisitions in compliance with this Agreement;
provided further, that if all or any portion of the Retained Asset Sale
Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided in the preceding proviso are
not so used or contractually committed to be so used within such 360-day period
(or, to the extent contractually committed to be so used, such contract expires
or terminates without such portion being so used), such remaining portion of
the Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on the last day of such 360-day period
or, to the extent contractually committed to be used on the last day of such
360-day period, on any date thereafter upon which the respective contract
expires or terminates without such portion being so used) as a mandatory
repayment of principal of Term Loans as provided above in this Section 2.10(d)
(without regard to the first proviso herein); provided further, that the
proceeds of the Equity Payment and, so long as no Event of Default exists and
is continuing at the time of such sale or the receipt of such proceeds, the
sale of any Qualified Additional Equity shall be exempt from the repayment
provisions of this Section 2.10(d) and, to the extent the New Senior
Subordinated Notes were not issued on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date,
any required payment under this Section 2.10 with Net Cash Proceeds arising
from the issuance of the New Senior Subordinated Notes shall be applied first
to the redemption of the Bridge Financing, with such required payment of Term
Loans under this Section 2.10 to be reduced by the amount of the proceeds of
such issuance of the New Senior Subordinated Notes actually applied to
refinance such bridge financing.

     (e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section
2.10, on each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to the Applicable
Repayment Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the most recent Excess Cash Flow
Period ending prior to such Excess Cash Payment Date shall be applied as a
mandatory repayment of principal of Term Loans in accordance with the
requirements of Sections 2.10(g) and (h).

     (f) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section
2.10, within 10 days following each date after the Effective Date on which the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Major Casualty Proceeds, an
amount equal to 100% of such Major Casualty Proceeds shall be applied as a
mandatory repayment of principal of Term Loans in accordance with the
requirements of Sections 2.10(g) and (h); provided that so long as no Default
then exists, such Major Casualty Proceeds shall not be required to be so
applied on such date to the extent the Borrower has delivered a certificate to
the Agent stating that such Major Casualty Proceeds shall be expended or
committed to be expended to replace or restore the asset or assets in respect
of which such payment or award was made, or to acquire assets of a type
permitted pursuant to Section 5.04, within 270 days following the date of
receipt of such Major Casualty Proceeds. The Major Casualty Proceeds not
required to be applied as a mandatory repayment of Term Loans as provided in
the proviso to the preceding sentence shall be deposited with the Agent in the
Collateral Account whereby such Major Casualty Proceeds shall be disbursed to
the Borrower from time to time as needed to pay actual costs incurred by it in
connection with the replacement or restoration of the respective assets, or to
acquire assets of a type permitted pursuant to Section 5.04 (subject to
reasonable certification requirements as may be established by the Agent),
provided that at any time that a Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Required Lenders may direct the Agent to apply any or all of such Major
Casualty Proceeds then on deposit in the Collateral Account to the repayment of
Term Loans as provided in this Section 2.10(f) (without regard to the first
proviso herein), provided further, that if all or any portion of such Major
Casualty Proceeds not required to be applied to the repayment of Term Loans
pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence are not used or committed to
be used within 270 days following the date on which the Borrower or such
Subsidiary received such Major Casualty Proceeds, such remaining portion of the
Major Casualty Proceeds shall be applied on the last day of such 270 day period
as a mandatory repayment of principal of Term Loans as provided above in this
Section 2.10(f) (without regard to the proviso in the first sentence herein).

     (g) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(i), each amount required to
be applied as a mandatory repayment of Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.10(d)
through (f), inclusive, shall be applied pro rata to each Tranche of Term Loans
based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the respective Tranches
(with each Tranche of Term Loans to be allocated that percentage of the amount
to be applied as is equal to a fraction (expressed as a percentage) the
numerator of which is the then outstanding principal amount of such Tranche of
Term Loans and the denominator of which is equal to the then outstanding
principal amount of all Term Loans); provided that if the amount of the Net
Cash Proceeds in respect of any Repayment Event is less than $5,000,000, such
repayment shall be made upon receipt of proceeds such that, together with all
other such amounts not previously applied, the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds
is equal to at least $5,000,000. The amount of each repayment of Tranche A Term
Loans and Tranche B Term Loans as required by this Section 2.10(g) shall be
applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective
Tranche pro rata based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the
Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche, after giving effect to all
prior reductions thereto.

     (h) With respect to each repayment of Loans pursuant to Sections 2.10(d)
through 2.10(f), inclusive, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of
the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Euro-Dollar
Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings

                                     -39-
<PAGE>

of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made, provided that: (i) repayments
of Euro-Dollar Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10 may only be made on the last
day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Euro-Dollar Loans of
the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required
repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in
full; (ii) if any repayment of Euro-Dollar Loans made pursuant to a single
Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans made pursuant to such
Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
thereto, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current
Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment
of any Loans comprising a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans.
In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding
sentence, the Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its
sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs
owing under Section 2.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.10, if at any time the mandatory repayment of Term Loans pursuant to
Sections 2.10(d) through (f) above would result, after giving effect to the
procedures set forth above, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under
Section 2.13 as a result of Euro-Dollar Loans being prepaid other than on the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (the "Affected Euro-Dollar
Loans"), then the Borrower may, in its sole discretion and so long as no
Default then exists, initially deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts
that otherwise would have been paid in respect of the Affected Euro-Dollar
Loans with the Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of
Affected Euro-Dollar Loans not immediately prepaid) to be held as security for
the obligations of the Borrower hereunder in the Collateral Account, with such
cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence (or
occurrences) thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the
relevant Term Loans that are Euro-Dollar Loans (or such earlier date or dates
as shall be requested by the Borrower), to repay an aggregate principal amount
of such Term Loans equal to the Affected Euro-Dollar Loans not initially repaid
pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the immediately preceding sentence, all amounts deposited as cash collateral
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be held for the sole
benefit of the Lenders whose Term Loans would otherwise have been immediately
repaid with the amounts deposited and upon the taking of any action by the
Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the remedial provisions of Section 6.01, any
amounts held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.10(h) shall, subject
to the requirements of applicable law, be immediately applied to such
respective Tranches of Term Loans.

     (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.10 or elsewhere in this Agreement, at any time that Tranche A Term Loans are
outstanding, Lenders with outstanding Tranche B Term Loans ("B Lenders") shall
have the option to waive a mandatory repayment of such Loans pursuant to
Sections 2.10(d) through 2.10(f), inclusive (each such repayment, a "Waivable
Mandatory Repayment"), upon the terms and provisions set forth in this Section
2.10(i). Upon the occurrence of a Waivable Mandatory Repayment, the Agent shall
provide to the B Lenders prompt written notice of such Waivable Mandatory
Repayment (indicating in such notice the amount of such repayment to be applied
to each such Lender's outstanding Tranche B Term Loans). In the event any such
B Lender desires to waive such Lender's right to receive any such Waivable
Mandatory Repayment in whole or in part, such Lender shall so advise the Agent
no later than the close of business two Business Days after the

                                     -40-
<PAGE>

date of such notice from the Agent, which notice from such B Lender shall also
include the amount such Lender desires to receive in respect of such repayment.
If any Lender does not reply to the Agent within the two Business Days, it will
be deemed not to have waived any part of such repayment. If any Lender does not
specify an amount it wishes to receive, it will be deemed to have accepted 100%
of the total payment. In the event that any such Lender waives all or part of
such right to receive any such Waivable Mandatory Repayment, the Agent shall
apply 100% of the amount so waived by such Lender to repayment of the Tranche A
Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(g).

     SECTION 2.11. Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right
to prepay the Loans made to it, in whole or in part, without premium or
penalty, at any time and from time to time on the following terms and
conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Agent written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay such Loans,
whether such Loans are Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, the
amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case
of Euro-Dollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which
made, which notice shall be given by the Borrower prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York
City time) (x) on the date of such prepayment in the case of Term Loans or
Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans, (y) on the date of such
prepayment in the case of Swingline Loans and (z) at least three Business Days
prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of Loans maintained as
Euro-Dollar Loans; (ii) each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or $250,000
in the case of Swingline Loans), provided that no partial prepayment of
Euro-Dollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate
principal amount of Euro-Dollar Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to
an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto; (iii) each
prepayment of Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.11
shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; (iv) each prepayment of Term Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to each Tranche of Term Loans on
a pro rata basis (based on the then outstanding principal amount of such
Tranche of Term Loans); (v) each prepayment of Tranche A Term Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.11 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Tranche A
Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis (based on the then remaining principal
amount of each Tranche A Schedule Repayment); and (vi) each prepayment of
Tranche B Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to reduce
the then remaining Tranche B Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis (based on
the then remaining principal amount of each Tranche B Scheduled Repayment).

     (b) Promptly after receiving a notice of prepayment of Loans (other than
Swingline Loans) pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall notify each Lender
entitled to receive the proceeds thereof of the contents thereof and of such
Lender's ratable share of such prepayment, and such notice shall not thereafter
be revocable by the Borrower.

     SECTION 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, the Borrower shall make each payment of principal
of, and interest on, the Loans and LC Reimbursement Obligations and each
payment of fees hereunder (other than fees payable directly to the LC Issuing
Banks) not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, in
Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at
its address specified in or pursuant to Section 10.01. Any payments under this

                                     -41-
<PAGE>

Agreement which are made later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) shall be
deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Agent will
promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment
received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Loans or LC Reimbursement Obligations or of
fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless, in the
case of payments in respect of Euro-Dollar Loans, such Business Day falls in
another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the
next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is
extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable
for such extended time.

     (b) Unless the Borrower notifies the Agent before the date on which any
payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment
in full to the Agent on such date, and the Agent may, in reliance on such
assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount
equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the
Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the
Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such
Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the
Federal Funds Rate.

     SECTION 2.13. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of
principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan or any Euro-Dollar Loan is
converted to a different Type of Loan (whether such payment or conversion is
pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day
of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow,
prepay, convert or continue any Euro-Dollar Loan after notice has been given to
any Bank in accordance with Section 2.03, 2.06 or 2.11, the Borrower shall
reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand by such Lender for any
resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or, without duplication, by an
existing or prospective participant in the related Loan), including (without
limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits
from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after such
payment or conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue;
provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as
to the amount of such loss or expense and its method of calculation, which
certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     SECTION 2.14. Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest (other than
interest on Base Rate Loans) and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). All interest on Base Rate Loans shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and paid for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

     SECTION 2.15. Notes. (a) The Borrower's obligation to pay the principal
of, and interest on, the Loans made to it by each Lender shall be evidenced (i)
if Tranche A Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by
the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 with blanks appropriately

collectively, the "Tranche A Term Notes"), (ii) if Tranche B Term Loans, by a

outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any

the Borrower's obligations in respect of such Loans.

     SECTION 2.16. Letters of Credit. (a) Issuance. Each LC Issuing Bank
agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue
Letters of Credit hereunder at the request of the Borrower from time to time
prior to the date that is 30 days before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date;
provided that, immediately after each such Letter of Credit is issued and
participations therein are sold to the Banks as provided in this subsection:

                (i) the Aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $20,000,000; and

               (ii) the sum of (i) the Aggregate LC Exposure and (ii) the
       aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans
       then outstanding shall not exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
       as then in effect.

Whenever an LC Issuing Bank issues a Letter of Credit hereunder, such LC
Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to
have sold to each other RL Lender, and each such RL Lender shall be deemed,
without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such LC
Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, a participation in such Letter of
Credit, on the terms specified in this Section, equal to such RL Lender's RL
Percentage thereof.

     (b) Notice of Proposed Issuance. With respect to each Letter of Credit,
the Borrower shall give the respective LC Issuing Bank and the Agent at least
five (5) Business Days' prior notice (i) specifying the date such Letter of
Credit is to be issued and (ii) describing the proposed terms of such Letter of
Credit and the nature of the transactions to be supported thereby. Promptly
after it receives such notice, the Agent shall notify each RL Lender of the
contents thereof.

                                     -44-
<PAGE>

     (c) Conditions to Issuance. No LC Issuing Bank shall issue any Letter of
Credit unless:

          (i) such Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory in form and substance
       to such LC Issuing Bank,

         (ii) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other
       instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as such
       LC Issuing Bank shall have reasonably requested,

        (iii) such LC Issuing Bank shall have confirmed with the Agent
       on the date of such issuance that the limitations specified in clauses
       (i) and (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section will not be exceeded
       immediately after such Letter of Credit is issued, and

         (iv) such LC Issuing Bank shall not have been notified in writing by
       the Borrower, the Required Lenders or the Agent expressly to the effect
       that any condition specified in clause (c) or (d) of Section 3.02 is not
       satisfied at the time such Letter of Credit is to be issued.

     (d) Expiry Dates. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later than
the fifth (5th) Business Day before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Subject
to the preceding sentence, each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall expire
on or before the first anniversary of the date of such issuance; provided that
the expiry date of any Letter of Credit may be extended from time to time (i)
at the Borrower's request for a period not exceeding one year or (ii) in the
case of an Evergreen Letter of Credit, automatically, in each case so long as
such extension is granted (or the last day on which notice can be given to
prevent such extension occurs) no earlier than three (3) months before the then
existing expiry date thereof.

     (e) Notice of Proposed Extensions of Expiry Dates. The relevant LC Issuing
Bank shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days' notice before such
LC Issuing Bank extends (or allows an automatic extension of) the expiry date
of any Letter of Credit issued by it. Such notice shall identify such Letter of
Credit, the date on which it is to be extended (or the last day on which notice
can be given to prevent such extension) and the date to which it is to be
extended. Promptly after it receives such notice, the Agent shall notify each
RL Lender of the contents thereof. No LC Issuing Bank shall extend (or allow
the extension of) the expiry date of any Letter of Credit if (x) such extension
does not comply with subsection (d) of this Section, (y) such LC Issuing Bank
shall not have confirmed with the Agent on the date of such extension that the
limitations specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section
will not be exceeded immediately after such Letter of Credit is extended, or
(z) such LC Issuing Bank shall have been notified by the Borrower, the Required
Lenders or the Agent expressly to the effect that any condition specified in
clause (c) or (d) of Section 3.02 is not satisfied at the time of such proposed
extension.

     (f) Notice of Actual Issuances and Extensions. Promptly after it issues
any Letter of Credit or extends any Letter of Credit (or allows any Evergreen
Letter of Credit to be extended), the relevant LC Issuing Bank will notify the
Agent of the date, face amount, beneficiary

                                     -45-
<PAGE>

or beneficiaries and expiry date or extended expiry date of such Letter of
Credit. Promptly after it receives such notice, the Agent shall notify each RL
Bank of the contents thereof and the amount of such RL Lender's participation
in such Letter of Credit. Promptly after it issues any Letter of Credit, the
relevant LC Issuing Bank will send a copy of such Letter of Credit to the
Agent.

     (g) Drawings. If an LC Issuing Bank receives a demand for payment under
any Letter of Credit issued by it and determines that such demand should be
honored, such LC Issuing Bank shall (i) promptly notify the Borrower and the
Agent as to the amount to be paid by such LC Issuing Bank as a result of such
demand and the date of such payment (an "LC Payment Date") and (ii) make such
payment in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

     (h) Reimbursement by the Borrower. (A) If any amount is drawn under any
Letter of Credit, the Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to
reimburse the relevant LC Issuing Bank for such amount, together with any and
all reasonable charges and expenses which such LC Issuing Bank may pay or incur
relative to such drawing. Such reimbursement shall be due and payable (the date
on which it is due and payable being an "LC Reimbursement Due Date") by 2:00
P.M. (New York City time) on the relevant LC Payment Date or the date on which
such LC Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of such drawing, whichever is later;
provided that, if such notice is given after 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on
the later of such dates, such reimbursement shall be due and payable on the
next succeeding Business Day; provided further, that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained above, if, on the relevant LC Payment Date, any Event
of Default shall exist pursuant to Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the
Borrower, such LC Payment Date shall constitute the date upon which such
reimbursement shall be due and payable and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained above, if an Event of Default as specified in Section
6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the Borrower does not exist on the relevant LC
Payment Date but occurs prior to the date which would otherwise constitute the
respective LC Reimbursement Due Date, then the date of the occurrence of such
Default shall instead constitute the respective LC Reimbursement Due Date.

     (B) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, on the applicable LC
Reimbursement Due Date, interest on each amount drawn under a Letter of Credit,
for each day from and including the LC Payment Date to but excluding such LC
Reimbursement Due Date, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable
Base Rate Margin for Revolving Loans plus the Base Rate for such day.

     (C) Each payment by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (h) shall be
made to the relevant LC Issuing Bank in Federal funds or other funds
immediately available to it at its address specified in or pursuant to Section
10.01.

     (i) Payments by Lenders. (A) If the Borrower fails to pay any LC
Reimbursement Obligation in full when due, the relevant LC Issuing Bank may
notify the Agent of the unreimbursed amount and request that the RL Lenders
reimburse such LC Issuing Bank for their respective RL Percentages thereof.
Promptly after it receives any such notice, the Agent shall notify each RL
Lender of the unreimbursed amount and such RL Lender's RL Percentage thereof.
Upon receiving such notice from the Agent, each RL Lender shall make available
to

                                     -46-
<PAGE>

such LC Issuing Bank, at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 10.01,
an amount equal to such RL Lender's RL Percentage of such unreimbursed amount,
in Federal or other funds immediately available to such LC Issuing Bank, by
3:00 P.M. (New York time) (i) on the day such RL Lender receives such notice if
it is received at or before 12:00 Noon (New York time) on such day or (ii) on
the next Business Day if such notice is received after 12:00 Noon (New York
City time) on the date of receipt, in each case together with interest on such
amount for each day from and including the relevant LC Payment Date to but
excluding the day such payment is due from such RL Lender at the Federal Funds
Rate for such day. Upon payment in full thereof, such RL Lender shall be
subrogated to the rights of such LC Issuing Bank against the Borrower to the
extent of such RL Lender's RL Percentage of the related LC Reimbursement
Obligation (including interest accrued thereon).

     (B) If any RL Lender fails to pay when due any amount to be paid by it
pursuant to clause (A) of this subsection, interest shall accrue on such RL
Lender's obligation to make such payment, for each day from and including the
date such payment became due to but excluding the date such RL Lender makes
such payment, at a rate per annum equal to (x) for each day from the day such
payment is due to the third (3rd) succeeding Business Day, inclusive, the
Federal Funds Rate for such day and (y) for each day thereafter the sum of 2%
plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin for Revolving Loans plus the Base Rate for
such day.

     (C) If the Borrower shall reimburse any LC Issuing Bank for any drawing
with respect to which any RL Lender shall have made funds available to such LC
Issuing Bank in accordance with clause (A) of this subsection, such LC Issuing
Bank shall promptly upon receipt of such reimbursement distribute to such RL
Lender its RL Percentage thereof, including interest, in Dollars to the extent
received by such LC Issuing Bank.

     (j) Exculpatory Provisions. The obligations of the Borrower and the RL
Lenders under this Section shall be absolute and unconditional under any and
all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to
payment which the Borrower or any RL Lender may have or have had against any LC
Issuing Bank, any RL Lender, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, the Agent
or any other Person. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of
any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit with respect to the use of such Letter
of Credit by such beneficiary. None of the LC Issuing Banks, the RL Lenders,
the Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents shall
be responsible for, and the obligations of each RL Lender to make payments to
each LC Issuing Bank and of the Borrower to reimburse each LC Issuing Bank for
drawings pursuant to this Section (other than obligations resulting solely from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant LC Issuing Bank)
shall not be excused or affected by, among other things, (i) the use which may
be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or
transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or
genuineness of documents presented under any Letter of Credit or of any
endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any
or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by
any LC Issuing Bank against presentation of documents to it which do not comply
with the terms of the relevant Letter of Credit; or (iv) any dispute between or
among the Borrower, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person
or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or any other Person
against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit. No LC Issuing Bank shall be
liable for any error,

                                     -47-
<PAGE>

omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any
message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of
Credit. Any action taken or omitted by the Agent, any LC Issuing Bank or any RL
Lender in connection with any Letter of Credit and the related drafts and
documents, if done without willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall be
binding on the Borrower and shall not place the Agent, any LC Issuing Bank or
any RL Lender under any liability to the Borrower.

     (k) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each RL Lender, each LC Issuing Bank and the Agent (collectively, the
"LC Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel) which such LC Indemnitee may reasonably
incur (or which may be claimed against such LC Indemnitee by any Person
whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with any execution and delivery or
transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or any
actual or proposed use of any Letter of Credit, including any claims, damages,
losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which any LC Issuing Bank may incur by
reason of any RL Lender's failure to comply with its obligations to such LC
Issuing Bank hereunder in connection with any Letter of Credit (but nothing
herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against such
defaulting RL Lender); provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
indemnify any LC Issuing Bank for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities,
costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such LC Issuing Bank in determining
whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit issued by it complied
with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such LC Issuing Bank's failure
to pay under any Letter of Credit issued by it after the presentation to it of
a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of
Credit. Nothing in this subsection is intended to limit the obligations of the
Borrower under any other provision of this Section.

         real property or other assets owned or leased by the Borrower or any
         Subsidiary, to the best of the Borrower's knowledge no government
         actions have been taken or are in process which could subject any of
         such properties or assets to such liens, and neither the Borrower nor
         any Subsidiary would be required to place any notice or restriction

         hereof.

     (b) For purposes of this Section, the terms "Borrower" and "Subsidiary"
shall include any business or business entity (including a corporation) which
is a predecessor, in whole or in part, of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

     SECTION 4.08. Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all
United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns
which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes and assessments
payable by it which have become due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any
material assessment received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except any such
taxes or charges which are being diligently contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided for
on the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to the extent
required by and in accordance with GAAP.

     SECTION 4.09. Subsidiaries. (a) Each of the Borrower's Subsidiaries is a
corporation or other legal entity duly incorporated or organized, validly
existing and, except as set forth in Schedule 6, in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all corporate or other
organizational powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted.

     (b) Schedule 3 lists all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the

Transaction), and identifies each De Minimis Subsidiary. Each Domestic
Subsidiary of the Borrower is a Guarantor, and each Guarantor is a direct or
indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower.

     SECTION 4.11. Full Disclosure. (a) All information heretofore furnished by
the Borrower to the Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with
this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is, and all such
information hereafter furnished by the Borrower to the Agent or any Lender will
be, to the best of the Borrower's knowledge, true and accurate in all material
respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified and
not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information
not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the
circumstances under which such information was provided. The Borrower has, to
the best of the Borrower's knowledge, disclosed to the Lenders in writing any
and all facts which materially and adversely affect, or may affect (to the
extent the Borrower can now reasonably foresee), the business, operations or
financial condition of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, or the Obligors' ability to perform their obligations under the Loan
Documents.

     (b) The projected financial statements set forth in the Information
Memorandum were based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable
as of their date and as of their date represented the reasonable best estimate
of future performance of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. During the period
from the respective dates as of which information is stated in the Information
Memorandum to and including the Initial Borrowing Date, to the best of the
Borrower's knowledge, no event has occurred and no condition has come into
existence which would have caused the projected financial statements therein to
be materially misleading.

     SECTION 4.12. Representations of Guarantors. Each Guarantor is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and, except as set forth in
Schedule 6, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its
business as now conducted. The execution, delivery and performance by each
Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party are within such
Guarantor's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action, and require no action by or in respect of, or filing with,
any governmental body, agency or official (other than filings which have been
made on or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date and other than UCC-1 financing
statements and Mortgage recordings which will be filed upon the occurrence of
the Initial Borrowing Date (in which case, if this representation is being made
more than 15 days after the Initial Borrowing Date, all such filings or
recordings have been made)). The execution, delivery and performance by the
Obligors of the Loan Documents to which they are parties do not (i) contravene
any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of such Guarantor, (ii) contravene, or constitute a
default under, any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other
instrument binding upon such Guarantor the consequences of which contravention
or default, singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) except as contemplated by the Collateral
Documents, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of
such Guarantor. Each Guarantor has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and the Loan Documents to which each Guarantor
is a party constitute valid and binding agreements of such Guarantor, in each
case enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with their respective
terms except (i) as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally, (ii) as rights of acceleration and the
availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of
general applicability, and (iii) as may be limited by legal or equitable

                                     -59-
<PAGE>

principles of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. Each of the
representations and warranties of each Guarantor contained in the Loan
Documents (other than this Agreement) to which such Guarantor is a party is
true and correct.

     SECTION 4.13. Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries owns, possesses or holds under valid licenses all patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other
intellectual property rights that are necessary for the operation of their
respective properties and businesses, and neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in violation of any provision thereof. Neither the Borrower nor
its Subsidiaries has received actual notice of, or knows of any valid basis
for, any claim of infringement of any material license, patent, trademark,
trade name, service mark, copyright, trade secret or any other intellectual
property right of others, and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, there is
no infringement or claim of infringement by others of any material license,
patent, trademark, trade name, service mark, copyright, trade secret or other
intellectual property right of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

     SECTION 4.14. Solvency. Subject to Section 9.07 hereof, except as set
forth in Schedule 6, as of the Initial Borrowing Date after giving effect to
the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on the Initial Borrowing Date,
and at all times thereafter: (i) the aggregate fair market value of the assets
of the Borrower and each Guarantor will exceed its respective liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities),
(ii) the Borrower and each Guarantor will have sufficient cash flow to enable
it to pay its respective debts as they mature and (iii) neither the Borrower
nor any Guarantor will have unreasonably small capital for the business in
which it is engaged.

     SECTION 4.15. Labor Relations. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (i) no unfair labor
practice complaint pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or,
to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any of them, before
the National Labor Relations Board, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding
arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so pending
against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the best knowledge of
the Borrower, threatened against any of them, (ii) no strike, labor dispute,
slowdown or stoppage pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries and (iii) no union representation question existing
with respect to the employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii)
above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 4.16. Subordinated Notes; etc. All Obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents are within the definitions of "Senior Debt" and
"Designated Senior Debt," as the case may be, included in such provisions of
the Existing 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Note Indenture, the Existing 11 1/4%
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and the New Senior Subordinated Notes
Indenture (or the Bridge Financing, as the case may be). This Agreement

                  (v)   sales permitted by Section 5.07(b).

                 (ix) additional Investments and Restricted Acquisitions
         provided that:

                  (a)immediately after any such Investment or Restricted
         Acquisition is made or acquired (any such Investment or Restricted
         Acquisition permitted by this clause (x), a "Permitted Acquisition")
         is consummated, the sum, without duplication, of the aggregate amount
         expended by the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries with respect to
         Permitted Acquisitions (including the value of Capital Stock of the
         Borrower used to make Permitted Acquisitions) after the date hereof
         does not in the aggregate exceed the sum of (w) the proceeds of any

         identified to the Lenders prior to the Effective Date to the extent
         permitted by Section 5.07(b)(vi) and (z) an additional aggregate
         amount for all such Permitted Acquisitions equal to $150,000,000; and

                  (b) in the case of a Permitted Acquisition, (A) the Person
         whose assets, securities or other equity interests are acquired by the
         Borrower or its Subsidiaries is engaged in substantially the same line
         of business activity as the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any other
         line or lines of business activity involving the manufacture and
         distribution of packaging products and materials, plastic products and
         materials, specialty chemicals, other disposable products, and related
         materials and related businesses; (B) immediately after such Permitted
         Acquisition is consummated, the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment
         shall not be less than $20,000,000; (C) if the Permitted Acquisition
         is structured as an acquisition of capital stock or other equity
         interest of another Person, the Borrower and/or its Domestic
         Subsidiaries shall own all of the capital stock or other equity
         interests of the Person so acquired; and (D) no Default shall exist
         and be continuing at the time of the consummation of such Permitted

         Borrower would be in compliance with Sections 5.11 through 5.13,

                                     -73-

         inclusive, after the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Leverage Ratio and
         Consolidated EBITDA are each adjusted with respect to such Permitted
         Acquisition on the date of consummation or proposed consummation
         thereof (the "Transaction Date") as follows: in calculating
         Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense and Consolidated
         Capital Expenditures, (1) the incurrence of any Debt incurred in
         connection with such Permitted Acquisition and the application of the
         proceeds therefrom shall be assumed to have occurred on the first day
         of the period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters (or other period)
         for which such amounts are required to be determined in accordance
         with the definitions of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Leverage Ratio
         (the "Reference Period"), (2) pro forma effect shall be given to any
         Permitted Acquisition (including adjustments to operating results
         permitted to be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles and any pro forma cost savings which the Borrower
         reasonably expects to realize and the inclusion of which the Agent
         (and, if such expected pro forma cost savings are in excess of
         $5,000,000, the Required Lenders) have consented (such consents not to
         be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) which occurs during the
         Reference Period or subsequent to the Reference Period and prior to
         the Transaction Date as if such Permitted Acquisition had occurred on
         the first day of the Reference Period, (3) the incurrence of any Debt
         during the Reference Period or subsequent to the Reference Period and
         prior to the Transaction Date and the application of the proceeds
         therefrom shall be assumed to have occurred on the first day of such
         Reference Period and (4) Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to
         any Debt (whether existing or being incurred) bearing a floating
         interest rate shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the rate in
         effect on the date of computation had been the applicable rate for the
         entire period, unless such Person or any of its Subsidiaries is a
         party to an interest rate swap or cap or similar agreement (which
         shall remain in effect for the twelve month period after the
         Transaction Date) which has the effect of fixing the interest rate on
         the date of computation, in which case such rate (whether higher or
         lower) shall be used.

         At least twenty days prior to the closing date for any Permitted
         Acquisition (or, in the case of any Permitted Acquisition that occurs
         within 20 days after the Initial Borrowing Date, within such time as
         the Borrower and the Agent agree), the Borrower shall have delivered
         to the Lenders (i) a compliance certificate certifying the Borrower's
         compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, including, without
         limitation, Sections 5.11 through 5.13, inclusive, after giving effect
         on a pro forma basis to such Permitted Acquisition and (ii) a report
         of the chief executive officer or chief accounting officer of the
         Borrower, in a form and providing sufficient detail and justification
         for the information provided therein, including assumptions, as shall
         be found to be reasonable by the Agent in its good faith discretion
         after completion of reasonable due diligence, establishing (x) the
         basis for such certification and (y) that after giving effect to such
         Permitted Acquisition and the financing therefor, the Borrower shall
         be in compliance at the end of each Fiscal Year until the Termination
         Date with the covenants contained in Sections 5.11 through 5.13,
         inclusive.

                 (x) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may acquire and hold
         debt and/or other similar non-cash consideration in connection with
         Asset Sales permitted pursuant to Section 5.07(b)(iii);

                  (xi) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or
         would exist immediately after giving effect to the respective
         Investment, the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries shall be
         permitted to make Investments in any Domestic Joint Venture on any
         date in an amount not to exceed the Available Domestic JV Basket
         Amount on such date (after giving effect to all prior and
         contemporaneous adjustments thereto, except as a result of such
         Investment), it being understood and agreed that to the extent the
         Borrower or one or more other Obligors (after the respective
         Investment has been made) receives a cash return from the respective
         Joint Venture of amounts previously invested pursuant to this clause
         (xi) (which cash return may be made by way of sale or other
         disposition of such investment or repayment of principal in the case
         of loans and cash equity returns (whether as a distribution, dividend
         or redemption) in the case of equity investments), then the amount of
         such return of investment shall apply to increase the Available
         Domestic JV Basket Amount, provided that the aggregate amount of
         increases to the Available Domestic JV Basket Amount described above
         shall not exceed the amount of returned investment and, in no event,
         shall the amount of the increases made to the Available Domestic JV
         Basket Amount in respect of any Investment exceed the amount
         previously invested pursuant to this clause (xi);

                (xii) so long as no Default then exists or would result
         therefrom, in addition to the Investments permitted pursuant to
         preceding clauses (i) through (xi), the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
         may make additional Investments in one or more Persons, so long as all
         such Investments (determined without regard to any write-downs or
         write-offs) do not exceed in aggregate amount $10,000,000 at any time
         outstanding;

               (xiii) loans and advances to employees of the Borrower or any of
         its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business not to exceed
         $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding; and

                (xiv) any Investment of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
         existing as of the Effective Date.

     SECTION 5.16. Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower will not, and
will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, pay any funds to or
for the account of, make any investment in (whether by acquisition of stock or
indebtedness, by loan, advance, transfer of property, guarantee or other
agreement to pay, purchase or service, directly or indirectly, any Debt, or
otherwise), lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any assets, tangible
or intangible, to, or participate in, or effect, any transaction with, any
Affiliate except on an arms-length basis on terms at least as favorable to the
Borrower or such Subsidiary as could have been obtained from a third party that
was not an Affiliate; provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section
shall not prohibit (i) Restricted Payments to the extent permitted by Section
5.14 and payments permitted pursuant to the proviso to the definition of
"Restricted Payments", (ii) Loans made and other transactions entered into
between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or between such Subsidiaries, to the
extent permitted by Sections 5.10 and 5.15, (iii) transactions among the
Borrower and the Guarantors, (iv) transactions among Foreign Subsidiaries, (v)
reasonable fees and compensation paid to, and indemnities provided on behalf

powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

     SECTION 7.02. Agent and Affiliates. The Agent shall have the same rights
and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or
refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent, and the Agent
and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the
Borrower as if it were not the Agent and the terms "Lender" and "Required
Lenders" shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

     SECTION 7.03. Action by Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are
only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to
any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

     SECTION 7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for any obligor), independent public accountants
and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of
such counsel, accountants or experts.

     SECTION 7.05. Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its
affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
different number of Lenders as any provision hereof expressly requires for such
consent or request) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of
their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in connection with the Loan Documents or any
borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants
or agreements of any Obligor; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified
in Article 3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or
(iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of the Loan Documents or any

                                     -83-
<PAGE>

other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. The Agent shall
not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent,
certificate, statement or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex,
facsimile or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by
the proper party or parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the use of the term "agent" or "Agent" in this Agreement with reference to the
Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such
term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or
reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties.

     SECTION 7.06. Indemnification. The Lenders shall, ratably in accordance
with their respective "percentages" as used in determining Required Lenders
(computed without adjustment for Non-Defaulting Lenders and Defaulting Lenders)
indemnify the Agent, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
agents and employees (each an "indemnitee") (to the extent not reimbursed by
the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and
disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result
from such indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such
indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with the Loan Documents or any
action taken or omitted by such indemnitees thereunder. The agreements in this
Section 7.06 should survive the termination of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the payment of all Obligations.

     SECTION 7.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans
hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Loan
Documents. The Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, assets, property, financial condition, prospects or
creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which may come into
the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

     SECTION 7.08. Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment of and
acceptance of appointment by a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may
resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.
Upon receipt of such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right with, so
long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower
(not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Agent. If
no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within
30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be
a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or
of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any

                                     -84-
<PAGE>

retiring Agent resigns as Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall
inure to its benefit as to actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was Agent.

     SECTION 7.09. Agent's Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for its
own account, fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon by the
Borrower and the Agent.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            Change in Circumstances

     SECTION 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If
on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Loan:

                  (a) The Agent is advised by the Reference Lenders that
         deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered
         to the Reference Lenders in the London interbank market for such
         Interest Period, or

                  (b) Lenders holding 50% or more of the aggregate principal
         amount of the affected Loans advise the Agent that the Adjusted London
         Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately
         and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their
         Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period,

the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders,
whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to
make Euro-Dollar Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into
Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan
shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Agent at
least two (2) Business Days before the date of any affected Borrowing for which
a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on
such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

     SECTION 8.02. Illegality. If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of
any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law,
rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Lender (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its
Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and
such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender
notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Euro-Dollar
Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans or continue
outstanding Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any
notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a
different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will

                                     -85-
<PAGE>

avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such notice is given,
each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted to a
Base Rate Loan either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to
maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day or (b)
immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to
maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day.

     SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after the
date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or any
LC Issuing Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such
requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement
included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit,
insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit (including letters of credit and participations
therein) extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or any LC
Issuing Bank or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office)
or any LC Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make
Euro-Dollar Loans or its obligations hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender
(or its Applicable Lending Office) or such LC Issuing Bank of making or
maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan or issuing or participating in any Letter of
Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or such LC Issuing Bank under this
Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such
Bank or LC Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by
such Lender or LC Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender or LC Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or LC Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

     (b) If any Lender shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy,
or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital
of such Lender (or its parent) as a consequence of such Lender's obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its parent) could have
achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days
after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay

                                     -86-
<PAGE>

to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
(or its parent) for such reduction.

     (c) Each Lender and LC Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and
the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date
hereof, which will entitle such Lender or LC Issuing Bank to compensation
pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending
Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender or LC Issuing
Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. A certificate of any Lender or LC
Issuing Bank claiming compensation under this section and setting forth the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the basis therefor
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error; provided that no Lender
shall be required to disclose information that it considers in its sole
discretion to be confidential. In determining such amount, such Lender or LC
Issuing Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

     SECTION 8.04. Taxes. (a) For the purposes of this Section, the following
terms have the following meanings:

                    "Taxes" means any and all present or future taxes, duties,
         levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to
         any payment by any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement or under any
         Note, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the
         case of each Lender Party, taxes imposed on its net income, and
         franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the
         laws of which it is organized or in which its principal executive
         office is located or, in which its Applicable Lending Office is
         located and (ii) in the case of each Lender, any United States
         withholding tax imposed on such payment, but not excluding any portion
         of such tax that exceeds the United States withholding tax which would
         have been imposed on such a payment to such Bank under the laws and
         treaties in effect when such Lender first becomes a party to this
         Agreement.

                    "Other Taxes" means any present or future stamp or
         documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or similar
         charges or levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this
         Agreement or under any Note or from the execution, delivery,
         registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan
         Document.

     (b) Subject to Section 8.04(e), all payments by any Obligor to or for the
account of any Lender Party hereunder or under any Note shall be made without
deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if any Obligor shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payment, (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) such Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Obligor shall
make such deductions, (iii) such Obligor shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable law and (iv) such Obligor shall promptly furnish to the Agent, at
its address specified in or pursuant to Section 10.01, to the extent available,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or any
other document reasonably requested by the Agent.

                                     -87-
<PAGE>

     (c) Subject to Section 8.04(e), Obligors agree to indemnify each Lender
Party for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Lender Party and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Lender
Party makes demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
providing an explanation of the facts and calculations that form the basis for
such demand. Such statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the
Obligors absent manifest error.

     (d) (i) if a Lender is a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)
of the Code, then each such Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States, before it signs and delivers this Agreement in the
case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and before it becomes
a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and, from time to time thereafter,
before any Lender designates a new Euro-Dollar Lending Office which is an
Affiliate or if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such
Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Borrower and
the Agent with Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any
successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such
Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party which exempts such Lender from United States withholding tax
or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest for the account
of such Lender or certifying that the income receivable by it pursuant to this
Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in
the United States or (ii) if such Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and which intends to claim exemption from U.S.
Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect
to payments of "portfolio interest", then each such Lender, at such times
specified in clause (i) above as are appropriate, shall provide each of the
Borrower and the Agent with a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof
or successors thereto (and, if such non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8, a
certificate representing that such non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes
of Section 881(c) of the Code, and is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the
meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code of the Borrower), properly
completed and duly executed by such non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption
from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments of
interest by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     (e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide
the Borrower or the Agent with the appropriate form referred to in Section
8.04(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation
occurring after the date on which such form originally was required to be
provided), no Obligor shall be required to increase any payment to such Lender
pursuant to Section 8.04(b)(i) and such Lender shall not be entitled to
indemnification under Section 8.04(b) or 8.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed
by the United States; provided that if a Lender that is otherwise exempt from,
or subject to a reduced rate of, withholding tax becomes subject to Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower
shall, at such Lender's expense, take such steps as such Lender shall
reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

                                     -88-
<PAGE>

     (f) If any Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to or for the
account of any Lender pursuant to this Section as a result of a change in law
or treaty occurring after such Lender first became a party to this Agreement,
then such Lender will, at the Borrower's request and expense, change the
jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the sole judgment of such
Lender, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment
which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such
Lender.

     (g) Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, and at the Borrower's
expense, a Lender Party shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Borrower with a view to obtain a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes which were
not correctly or legally imposed and for which the Borrower has indemnified
such Lender Party under this Section 8.04 if obtaining such refund would not,
in the sole judgment of the Lender Party, be disadvantageous to such Lender
Party; provided that nothing in this Section 8.04(g) shall be construed to
require any Lender Party to institute any administrative proceeding (other than
the filing of a claim for any such refund) or judicial proceeding to obtain any
such refund. If a Lender Party shall receive a refund from a taxing authority
(as a result of any error in the imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes by such
taxing authority) of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to
subsection 8.04(b) or (c) above, such Lender Party shall promptly pay to the
Borrower the amount so received without interest (other than interest received
from the taxing authority with respect to such refund) and net of out-of-pocket
expenses; provided that such Lender Party shall only be required to pay to the
Borrower such amounts as such Lender Party in its sole discretion, determines
are attributable to Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower. In the event
such Lender Party or the Agent is required to repay the amount of such refund
(including interest, if any), the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender
Party or the Agent (as the case may be), agrees to promptly return to such
Lender Party or the Agent the amount of such refund and interest, if any (plus
penalties, interest and other charges imposed in connection with the repayment
of such amounts by such Lender Party or the Agent).

     (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.04 shall be
construed to (i) entitle the Borrower or any other persons to any information
determined by any Lender Party or the Agent, in its sole discretion, to be
confidential or proprietary information of such Lender Party or the Agent, to
any tax or financial information of any Lender Party or the Agent or to inspect
or review any books and records of any Lender Party or the Agent, or (ii)
interfere with the rights of any Lender Party or the Agent to conduct its
fiscal or tax affairs in such manner as it deems fit.

     SECTION 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans.
If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert
outstanding Loans as or to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to
Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or
8.04 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans, and in any such case the Borrower
shall, by at least five Business Days' prior notice to such Lender, then,
unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all
Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or
converted to) Euro-Dollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which
interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related
Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lender). If such Lender notifies the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for

                                     -89-
<PAGE>

compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan
shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next
succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the
other Lender.

     SECTION 8.06. Replacement of Lender. (x) If any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the
operation of Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to any Lender which results in
such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs or other compensation in
excess of those being generally charged by the other Lender or any Lender's
obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (z) in the case of a
refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the
Required Lenders as provided in Section 10.05(b), the Borrower shall have the
right, if no Default then exists, to replace such Lender (the "Replaced
Lender") with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Transferees, none of
whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement
(collectively, the "Replacement Lender") reasonably acceptable to the Agent,
provided that (i) any replacement pursuant to this Section 8.06 shall be
required to comply with the requirements of Section 10.06(b) and at the time of
any replacement pursuant to this Section 8.06, the Replacement Lender shall
enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section
10.06(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 10.06(b) to be
paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall
acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participations in
Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall
pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of
(A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the
Replaced Lender, (B) all LC Reimbursement Obligations that have been funded by
(and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid
interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) all accrued, but theretofore
unpaid fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 2.07, (y) the
respective LC Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Replaced Lender's RL
Percentage of any LC Reimbursement Obligation (which at such time remains an LC
Reimbursement Obligation) with respect to a Letter of Credit issued by it to
the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and
(z) the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender's RL
Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not
theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender, and (ii) all obligations
(including, without limitation, all such amounts, if any, due and owing under
Section 2.13) of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender (other than
those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the
assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be
paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon
the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the
payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of
the assignment on the Register by the Agent pursuant to Section 10.11 and, if
so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of
the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement
Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to
constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification
provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.13,
7.06, 8.03, 8.04 and 10.03), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and
(y) Schedule I hereto shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed

                                     -90-
<PAGE>

Commitments (and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be) resulting from
the assignment from the Replaced Lender to the Replacement Lender.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                    Guaranty

     SECTION 9.01. The Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and punctual payment
(whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of any and all of
the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon failure by the Borrower or any other Guarantor
to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay
the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the respective Guaranteed Derivatives
Agreement. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of
collection. This Guaranty is a continuing one and shall be deemed ratified and
recertified upon the receipt of any Investment in a Guarantor by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under
the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in
reliance hereon.

     SECTION 9.02. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise
affected by:

                  (i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or
         release in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation, by operation of law or
         otherwise;

                 (ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any
         Guaranteed Obligation;

                (iii) to the extent permitted by law, any release, impairment,
         non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any
         Guaranteed Obligation;

                 (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or
         ownership of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or any insolvency,
         bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the
         Borrower, any other Guarantor or their respective assets or any
         resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation;

                  (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which
         such Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other
         Guarantor, the Agent, any LC Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other
         Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions,
         provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such
         claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

                 (vi) any invalidity or unenforceability of all or any part of
         the Guaranteed Obligations, or any provision of applicable law or

                                     -91-
<PAGE>

         regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any
         other Guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

                (vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by
         the Borrower, any other Guarantor, the Agent, any LC Issuing Bank, any
         Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which
         might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or
         equitable discharge of the Guarantor's obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 9.03. Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in
Certain Circumstances. Each Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall remain in
full force and effect until the Total Commitment and all Guaranteed Derivatives
Agreements have been terminated, no Note or Letter of Credit remains
outstanding and all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. If at
any time any amount paid in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Obligor or otherwise, each Guarantor's obligations
hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as
though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

     SECTION 9.04. Waiver by Each Guarantor. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives
acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for
herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any
Person against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other Person.

     SECTION 9.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Until all
Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full, each Guarantor agrees not
to enforce or exercise any and all rights to which it may be entitled, by
operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment hereunder (i) to be
subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower with respect to such
payment or against any direct or indirect security therefor, or otherwise to be
reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by or for the account of the Borrower in
respect thereof or (ii) to receive any payment, in the nature of contribution
or for any other reason, from any other Guarantor with respect to such payment.

     SECTION 9.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for
payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to
acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor hereunder forthwith
on demand by the Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders or, after
all Obligations have been repaid in full and the Total Commitment has been
terminated, a majority of the holders of all outstanding obligations under
Guaranteed Derivatives Agreements.

     SECTION 9.07. Limit of Liability. It is the desire and intent of each
Guarantor that this Guaranty shall be enforced to the fullest extent
permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in
which enforcement is sought. If and to the extent that the obligations of each
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any
applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or
transfers, which laws would determine the solvency of each Guarantor by
reference to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at the time of the

                                     -92-
<PAGE>

execution and delivery of this Guaranty), then the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced and each Guarantor agrees to pay the
maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under
applicable law.

     SECTION 9.08. Release upon Sale. Upon any sale by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries of any Guarantor owned by the Borrower and/or any of its
Subsidiaries, in each case pursuant to a transaction permitted by this
Agreement, such Guarantor shall automatically and without further action by any
Lender or the Agent be released from its obligations as a Guarantor hereunder.

     SECTION 9.09. Additional Guarantors. It is understood and agreed that any
Subsidiary of the Borrowers that is required to execute a counterpart of this
Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to Section 5.22(d) shall promptly
become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a counterpart hereof and delivering
the same to the Agent. It is further understood and agreed that any failure by
any Subsidiary to execute a counterpart of this Agreement as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms hereof shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower
or any other Guarantor.

                                 Miscellaneous

     SECTION 10.01. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to
any party under any Loan Document shall be in writing (including bank wire,
facsimile or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (a) in the case
of the Borrower or the Agent, at its address or facsimile number set forth on
the signature pages hereof, (b) in the case of any Guarantor, in care of the
Borrower, (c) in the case of any Lender, at its address or facsimile number set
forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (d) in the case of any party, at
such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for
the purpose by notice to the Agent and the Borrower. Each such notice, request
or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when
transmitted to the facsimile number referred to in this Section and
confirmation of receipt is received, (ii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such
communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid,
addressed as aforesaid, or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at
the address referred to in this Section; provided that notices to the Agent or
any LC Issuing Bank under Article 2 or Article 8, shall not be effective until
received.

     SECTION 10.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by any Lender Party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall
operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

     SECTION 10.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i)
all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including reasonable fees and
disbursements of special counsel for the Agent, in connection with the
preparation and administration of the Loan Documents, any waiver or consent

                                     -93-
<PAGE>

thereunder or any amendment thereof or any Default or alleged Default
thereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by each Lender Party, including (without duplication) the fees and
disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated cost of inside counsel, in
connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency
and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

     (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender Party, its respective
affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the
foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and
against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any
kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such
Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating
to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any actual or proposed use of any
Letter of Credit or any proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no
Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent of
such Indemnitee's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

     (c) The Borrower hereby indemnifies each Indemnitee from and against and
agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all liabilities, losses,
damages, costs and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation,
reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants
and similar technical personnel and reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel) of any Indemnitee arising out of, in respect of or in connection with
any and all Environmental Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Borrower hereby waives all rights for contribution or any other
rights of recovery with respect to liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses arising under or related to Environmental Laws that it might have by
statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

     (d) To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless
any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10.03 may be unenforceable because it
is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified
liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

     SECTION 10.04. Sharing of Payments. Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it
should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by
realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker's
lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under
the Loan Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the
principal of, or interest on the Loans, LC Reimbursement Obligations or fees,
of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other
Lenders is a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and
due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to
all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender
receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or
warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the
respective Obligor to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a
proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided that
if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such

                                     -94-
<PAGE>

Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest.

     SECTION 10.05. Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor
any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is in writing signed by the respective Obligor party thereto and the Required
Lenders, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall,
without the consent of each Lender (with Obligations being directly affected in
the case of following clause (i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of
any Loan or Note, or reduce the rate of interest or fees or extend the time of
payment of interest or fees, or reduce the principal amount thereof (except to
the extent repaid in cash) (it being understood that any amendment or
modification to the definitions of "Leverage Ratio" and "Reduction Discount"
set forth in this Agreement or to Section 1.02 may not result in a reduction in
any rate of interest or fees for the purposes of this clause (i) without the
consent of each Lender), (ii) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) under all the
Collateral Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this
Section 10.05, (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required
Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be
included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same
basis as the extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments are
included on the Effective Date) or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by
the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;
provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall
(1) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in
effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or
modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default
or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an
increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available
portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the
Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of the Agent, amend, modify
or waive any provision of Article 7 or any other provision as same relates to
the rights or obligations of the Agent, (3) without the consent of the
Swingline Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights
or obligations with respect to Swingline Loans (including, without limitation,
the obligations of other RL Lenders to fund Mandatory Borrowings), (4) without
the consent of each LC Issuing Bank, amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 2.16 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of
Credit, (5) except in cases where additional extensions of term loans are being
afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans pursuant
to this Agreement as originally in effect, without the consent of the Majority
Lenders of each Tranche which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment
or commitment reduction as a result of the actions described below (or without
the consent of the Majority Lenders of each Tranche in the case of an amendment
to the definition of Majority Lenders), amend the definition of Majority
Lenders or alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments (or
commitment reductions), as between the various Tranches pursuant to Section
2.10 or 2.11 (excluding Sections 2.10(b) and (c)) (although the Required
Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or
commitment reduction so long as the application, as amongst the various
Tranches, of any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is

                                     -95-
<PAGE>

still required to be made is not altered) or (6) without the consent of the
Supermajority Lenders of the respective Tranche, amend the definition of
Supermajority Lenders or waive or decrease the amount of any Scheduled
Repayment of such affected Tranche.

     (b) If, in connection with any proposed change to, waiver, discharge or
termination of any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by
clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 10.05(a),
the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more
of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, the Borrower
shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual
consent is required are treated as described below, to replace each such
non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant
to Section 8.06 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such
Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination, provided that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right
to replace a Lender solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender's rights
(and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the
second proviso to Section 10.05(a).

     SECTION 10.06. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participation. (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided,
however, that, except with respect to assignments effected pursuant to a sale
or disposition permitted pursuant to Section 5.07, neither any Guarantor (with
assets in excess of $10,000,000 on the date of any such assignment), nor the
Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and, provided
further, that, although any Lender may transfer or grant participations in its
rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a "Lender" for all purposes
hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Revolving
Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans hereunder except as provided in
Sections 8.06 and 10.06(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the
case may be, shall not constitute a "Lender" hereunder and, provided further,
that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the
participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent such amendment or
waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in
which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time
of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the
principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant's
participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that
a waiver of any Default, or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment,
shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an
increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of
any participant if the participant's participation is not increased as a result
thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower, of any of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or
substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Collateral Documents
(except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans
hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such
participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents (the participant's rights against such
Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement
executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all

                                     -96-
<PAGE>

amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participation.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with
one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments
and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the
relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to its
parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned
by such Lender or its parent company or to one or more other Lenders (or in the
case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund
that invests in bank loans and is managed by such Lender or the same investment
advisor of such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) or (y)
assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least (A) in the case of
assignments of Tranche A Term Loans or a portion of the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment (or, if the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated, related
outstanding obligations), $5,000,000 of such Tranche A Term Loans or Revolving
Commitments and/or related outstanding Obligations (or, if less, the entire
remaining amount of such assignors Tranche A Term Loans and Revolving Loan
Commitment) and (B) in the case of assignments of Tranche B Term Loans,
$2,000,000 of such Tranche B Term Loans hereunder (or, if less, the entire
remaining amount of such assignor's Tranche B Term Loans) to one or more
Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any
other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment
advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single
Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this
Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
provided that, (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect
the Commitments (or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be) of such new
Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant
Notes by the assigning Lender (or receipt of a customary indemnity agreement in
the case of lost or misplaced notes), new Notes will be issued, at the
Borrower's expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the
request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in
conformity with the requirements of Section 2.15 (with appropriate
modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments (or
outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be), (iii) the consent of the Agent
and, so long as no Default then exists, the Borrower shall be required in
connection with any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (y)
above other than with respect to assignments effected by MGT within 10 days of
the Initial Borrowing Date pursuant to the primary syndication (each of which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iv) the consent of
the Swingline Lender and each LC Issuing Bank shall be required in connection
with any assignment of all or any portion of the Revolving Loan Commitments
(such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (v) the Agent shall
receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee
Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, and (vi) no
such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Agent on
the Register pursuant to Section 10.11. To the extent of any assignment
pursuant to this Section 10.06(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of
its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments. At the time
of each assignment pursuant to this Section 10.06(b) to a Person which is not
already a Lender hereunder and which is not a person (as such term is defined
in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the
respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so,

                                     -97-
<PAGE>

provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms
described in Section 8.04(d). To the extent that an assignment of all or any
portion of a Lender's Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant
to Section 8.06 or this Section 10.06(b) would, at the time of such assignment,
result in increased costs under Article 8 from those being charged by the
respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall
not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in
accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall
be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above
resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

     (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from
pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of
borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with the
consent of the Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion
of its Loans or Notes to its trustee in support of its obligations to its
trustee. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 10.07. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement
and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York. Each Obligor hereby submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes
of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby. Each Obligor irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court
and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum.

     SECTION 10.08. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Amendment and
Restatement. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures
thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes
any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to
the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective on the date
(the "Effective Date") when the Agent has received from each of the parties
hereto a counterpart hereof signed by such party or facsimile or other written
confirmation satisfactory to the Agent confirming that such party has signed a
counterpart hereof. If all of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement
are or become Lenders under this Agreement on the Effective Date, then the
Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be
this Agreement, and should be superseded hereby.

     SECTION 10.09. Confidentiality. Each Lender Party agrees to keep any
information delivered or made available by the Borrower pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement confidential from anyone other than persons
employed or retained by such Lender Party who are engaged in evaluating,
approving, structuring or administering the credit facility contemplated
hereby; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender Party from
disclosing such information (a) to any other Lender Party, (b) to any other
Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the credit facility
contemplated hereby, (c) upon the order of any court or administrative agency

                                     -98-
<PAGE>

or as otherwise required by law, (d) upon the request or demand of any
regulatory agency or authority, (e) which had been publicly disclosed other
than as a result of a disclosure by any Lender Party prohibited by this
Agreement, (f) in connection with any litigation to which any Lender Party or
its subsidiaries or Parent may be a party, (g) to the extent necessary in
connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (h) to legal counsel and
independent auditors and (i) subject to obtaining a prior written agreement for
the benefit of the Borrower on terms substantially similar to those contained
in this Section, to any actual or proposed participant in the Loan or Assignee.

     SECTION 10.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OBLIGOR AND EACH LENDER PARTY
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     SECTION 10.11. Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Agent to serve
as the Borrower's agent, solely for the purposes of this Section 10.11, to
maintain a register (the "Register") on which it will record the Commitments
from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders
and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each
Lenders. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation
shall not affect the Borrower's obligations in respect of such Loans. With
respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the
rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such
Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the
Register maintained by the Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments
and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor
with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Agent on
the Register only upon the acceptance by the Agent of a properly executed and
delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 10.06(b).
Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to
the Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or
part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or
transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon
one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to
the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The Borrower agrees
to indemnify the Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or
incurred by the Agent in performing its duties under this Section 10.11 except
to the extent of the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     SECTION 10.12. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including,
without limitation, in Sections 2.13, 7.06 and 10.03 and in Article 8 shall
survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes
and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

         including, without limitation, registrations and applications in the
         United States Patent and Trademark Office or in any similar office or

                  "Trademark Security Agreement" means the Trademark Security
         Agreement executed and delivered by each Grantor in favor of the
         Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, substantially in the
         form of Exhibit D hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time.

                  "UCC" means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the
         date hereof in the State of New York; provided that if by reason of
         mandatory provisions of law, the perfection or the effect of perfection
         or non-perfection of the Security Interest in any Collateral is
         governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction
         other than New York, "UCC" means the Uniform Commercial Code as in
         effect in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions hereof
         relating to such perfection or effect of perfection or non-perfection.

                  SECTION 2.  Representations and Warranties

                  Each Grantor represents and warrants as follows:

                  (A) The Grantors have good and marketable title to all of the
         Collateral, free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens.
         Each Grantor has taken all actions necessary under the UCC to perfect
         its interest in any Accounts purchased or otherwise acquired by it, as
         against its assignors and creditors of its assignors.

                  (B) No Grantor has performed any acts which would prevent the
         Collateral Agent from enforcing any of the terms of this Agreement or
         which would limit the Collateral Agent in any such enforcement. Other
         than financing statements or other similar or equivalent documents or
         instruments with respect to the Security Interests and Permitted Liens
         and other than documents or instruments in respect of which a
         termination statement or other termination document has been filed, no
         financing statement, mortgage, security agreement or similar or
         equivalent document or instrument covering all or any part of the
         Collateral is on file or of record in any jurisdiction in which such
         filing or recording would be effective to perfect a Lien on such
         Collateral. No Collateral is in the possession of any Person (other
         than the Grantors) asserting any claim thereto or security interest
         therein, except that the Collateral Agent or its designee may have
         possession of Collateral as contemplated hereby and warehousemen,
         carriers or other bailees may from time to time assert claims to or
         security interests in Collateral in their possession.

                  (C) On or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date under the Credit
         Agreement, the Grantors shall deliver a Perfection Certificate to the
         Collateral Agent. The information set forth therein shall be correct
         and complete.

                  (D) To the extent that the Collateral is subject to the UCC,
         the Security Interests constitute valid security interests under the
         UCC securing the Secured Obligations. When UCC financing statements in
         the form specified in Exhibit A shall have been filed in the offices
         specified in the Perfection Certificate, and this Agreement and any
         amendments hereto in appropriate form have been filed in the office of
         the Secretary of the Interstate Commerce Commission, with respect to
         any Rolling Stock, Leased Rolling Stock or Rolling Stock Leases, the
         Security Interests shall constitute perfected security interests in the
         Collateral (except Inventory in transit) to the extent that a security
         interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC and the
         Interstate Commerce Act, prior to all other Liens and rights of others
         therein except for the Permitted Liens. When the Patent Security
         Agreement and the Trademark Security Agreement have been filed with the
         United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Security Interests shall
         constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and
         interest of the Grantors in Patents and Trademarks, prior to all other
         Liens and rights of others therein except for Permitted Liens. When a
         Copyright Security Agreement has been filed with the United States
         Copyright Office, the Security Interests shall constitute perfected
         security interests in all right, title and interest of the Grantors in
         Copyrights, prior to all other Liens and rights of others therein
         except for Permitted Liens.

                  (E) The Inventory and Equipment are insured in accordance with
         the requirements of the Credit Agreement.

                  (F) The Grantors have produced or will produce all Inventory
         produced by them in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
         Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended.

                  SECTION 3.  The Security Interests

                  (A) In order to secure the full and punctual payment of the
Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, and to secure the
performance of all of the obligations of the Grantors hereunder and under the
Credit Agreement, the Grantors hereby grant to the Collateral Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders a continuing security interest in and to all of
the following property of the Grantors, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located (all being
collectively referred to as the "Collateral"):

                  (1) Accounts;

                  (2) Inventory;

                  (3) General Intangibles;

                  (4) Documents;

                  (5) Instruments;

                  (6) Equipment;

                  (7) All books and records (including, without limitation,
         customer lists, marketing information, credit files, price lists,
         operating records, vendor and supplier price lists, sales literature,
         computer programs, printouts and other computer materials and records)
         of any Grantor pertaining to any of the Collateral;

                  (8) All insurance policies;

                  (9) All right, title, claims and benefits now owned or
         hereafter acquired by any Grantor in and to any railcar leases,
         subleases, rental agreements and car hire contracts in which any
         Grantor shall at any time have any interest, and any right, title,
         claim and benefits of any Grantor now owned or hereafter acquired in
         and to any management agreement concerning all such leases and
         agreements (collectively, "Rolling Stock Leases"); and all right, title
         and interest of any Grantor in the railcars and equipment provided
         pursuant to any Rolling Stock Leases ("Leased Rolling Stock"); in each
         case, including, without limitation, all rights of any Grantor to
         receive and apply any Rolling Stock Revenues attributable to any Leased
         Rolling Stock or pursuant to any Rolling Stock Leases;

                  (10) All rights now owned or hereafter acquired by any Grantor
         to receive and collect any Rolling Stock Revenues; and

                  (11) All Proceeds of all or any of the Collateral described in
         Clauses 1 through 10 hereof.

                  (B) The Borrower will cause any Domestic Subsidiary acquired
or established after the Effective Date to take appropriate steps to (i) become
a Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.22(d) of the Credit Agreement and a Grantor
hereunder and (ii) immediately grant to the Collateral Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders a first priority security interest (subject to Permitted
Liens and to restrictions permitted by Section 5.17 of the Credit Agreement)
upon all of its assets that constitute Collateral as additional security for the
Secured Obligations.

                  (C) The Security Interests are granted as security only and
shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any Lender to, or transfer or in any
way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to
any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith.

                  SECTION 4.  Further Assurances; Covenants

                  (A) No Grantor will change its name, identity or corporate
structure in any manner unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent not less
than 30 days' prior notice thereof and, if requested by the Collateral Agent,
delivered an opinion of counsel with respect thereto in accordance with Section
4(L). No Grantor will change the location of (i) its chief executive office or
chief place of business or (ii) the locations where it keeps or holds any
Collateral or any records relating thereto from the applicable location
described in the Perfection Certificate unless it shall have given the
Collateral Agent not less than 30 days' prior notice thereof and, if requested
by the Collateral Agent, delivered an opinion of counsel with respect thereto in
accordance with Section 4(L). The Grantors shall not in any event change the
location of any Collateral if such change would cause the Security Interests in
such Collateral to lapse or cease to be perfected, it being understood, however,
that the Grantors shall be able to transfer cash to the extent permitted by the
other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

                  (B) Each Grantor will, from time to time, at its expense,
execute, deliver, file and record any statement, assignment, instrument,
document, agreement or other paper and take any other action, (including,
without limitation, any filings with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, any filings with the United States Copyright Office, any filings with
the Interstate Commerce Commission, any filings of financing or continuation
statements under the UCC and any filings in, or agreements governed by the laws
of, foreign jurisdictions) that from time to time may be necessary, or that the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create, preserve, perfect,
confirm or validate the Security Interests or to enable the Collateral Agent and
the Lenders to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement, or to enable the
Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies
hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute
and file financing statements or continuation statements without such Grantor's
signature appearing thereon. The Grantors agree that a carbon, photographic,
photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement
is sufficient as a financing statement. The Grantors shall pay the costs of, or
incidental to, any recording or filing of any financing or continuation
statements concerning the Collateral.

                  (C) If any Collateral is at any time in the possession or
control of any warehouseman, bailee or any of a Grantor's agents or processors,
such Grantor, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
if requested to do so by the Collateral Agent acting on the instructions of the
Required Lenders, shall notify such warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor of
the Security Interests created hereby and to hold all such Collateral for the
Collateral Agent's account subject to the Collateral Agent's instructions.

                  (D) Each Grantor shall keep full and accurate books and
records relating to the Collateral, and stamp or otherwise mark such books and
records in such manner as the Required Lenders may reasonably require in order
to reflect the Security Interests.

                  (E) Each Grantor will immediately deliver and pledge each
Instrument to the Collateral Agent, appropriately endorsed to the Collateral
Agent, provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Grantor may retain for collection in the ordinary course any
Instruments received by it in the ordinary course of business, and the
Collateral Agent shall, promptly upon request of a Grantor, make appropriate
arrangements for making any other Instrument pledged by such Grantor available
to it for purposes of presentation, collection or renewal (any such arrangement
to be effected, to the extent deemed appropriate to the Collateral Agent,
against trust receipt or like document).

                  (F) Each Grantor shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to
be collected from its account debtors, as and when due, any and all amounts
owing under or on account of each Account (including, without limitation,
Accounts which are delinquent, such Accounts to be collected in accordance with
lawful collection procedures) and shall apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all
such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Account.
Subject to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor may allow
in the ordinary course of business as adjustments to amounts owing under its
Accounts (i) an extension or renewal of the time or times of payment, or
settlement for less than the total unpaid balance, which such Grantor finds
appropriate in accordance with sound business judgment and (ii) a refund or
credit due as a result of returned or damaged merchandise, all in accordance
with such Grantor's ordinary course of business consistent with its or the
Borrower's historical collection practices. The costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorney's fees) of collection, whether incurred by the
Grantors or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the Grantors.

                  (G) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, upon request of the Required Lenders through the Collateral
Agent, each Grantor will promptly notify (and each Grantor hereby authorizes the
Collateral Agent so to notify) each account debtor in respect of any Account or
Instrument that such Collateral has been assigned to the Collateral Agent
hereunder, and that any payments due or to become due in respect of such
Collateral are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

                  (H) Each Grantor shall, (i) as soon as practicable after the
date hereof, in the case of Equipment now owned in which a security interest is
perfected by a notation on the certificate of title or similar evidence of the
ownership of such goods and (ii) within 10 days of acquiring any other similar
Equipment, in each case, (a) having a value in excess of $100,000, or (b) having
a value in excess of $50,000, if the aggregate of all such items owned by the
Grantors at any time is greater than $500,000, deliver to the Collateral Agent
any and all certificates of title, applications for title or similar evidence of
ownership of such Equipment and shall cause the Collateral Agent to be named as
lienholder on any such certificate of title or other evidence of ownership. Each
Grantor shall promptly inform the Collateral Agent of any additions to or
deletions from the Equipment exceeding $250,000 in the aggregate and shall not
permit any such items to become a fixture to real estate except pursuant to the
Mortgages or an accession to other personal property except such other property
that is Collateral.

                  (I) Each Grantor shall as soon as practicable after the date
hereof, at its own cost and expense, cause to be plainly, distinctly,
permanently and conspicuously placed, fastened or painted upon each side of each
item of Rolling Stock a legend bearing such words as the Collateral Agent may
request indicating the Lien over and security interest in such Rolling Stock
created hereby in letters not less than one inch in height. The Grantors may
permit the Rolling Stock to be operated within the United States, but shall not
permit the Rolling Stock to be operated outside the boundaries of the
continental United States.

                  (J) Subject to Section 12, without the prior written consent
of the Required Lenders, no Grantor will (a) sell, lease, exchange, assign or
otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any Collateral,
except to the extent permitted by Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement, subject
to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whereupon, in the case of such a
sale or exchange, the Security Interests created hereby in such item (but not in
any Proceeds arising from such sale or exchange) shall cease immediately without
any further action on the part of the Collateral Agent; or (b) create, incur or
suffer to exist any Lien with respect to any Collateral, except for Permitted
Liens.

                  (K) Prior to the Initial Borrowing Date under the Credit
Agreement, each Grantor will cause the Collateral Agent to be named as an
insured party on each insurance policy covering risks relating to any of its
Inventory and Equipment. Each Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Agent, upon
request of the Collateral Agent, the insurance policies for such insurance or
certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage. Each such insurance policy
shall include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for insurance
premiums against the Collateral Agent or any Lender, provide for coverage to the
Collateral Agent regardless of the breach by relevant Grantor of any warranty or
representation made therein, not be subject to co-insurance, and provide that no
cancellation, termination or material modification thereof shall be effective
until at least 30 days (or, in the case of non-payment of premiums, at least 10
days) after receipt by the Collateral Agent of notice thereof.

                  (L) Each Grantor will, promptly upon request, provide to the
Collateral Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request
concerning the Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement.

                  (M) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if
it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration relating
to any Copyright, Patent or Trademark may become abandoned. In the event that
any Grantor receives notice of or becomes aware that any right to a Copyright,
Copyright License, Patent, Patent License, Trademark or Trademark License has
been infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall
notify the Collateral Agent promptly after it learns thereof and shall, unless
such Grantor shall reasonably determine that any such action would be of
insufficient economic value, promptly take such other actions as such Grantor
shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
Copyright, Copyright License, Patent, Patent License, Trademark or Trademark
License. Within thirty (30) days after having filed an application for the
registration of any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office or any
Patent or Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or with
any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision
thereof, upon request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and
deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers the Collateral
Agent may request to evidence the Security Interests in such Copyright, Patent
or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating
thereto or represented thereby. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral
Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such writings for the
foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and
confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable
until the Secured Obligations are paid in full. The Collateral Agent shall
provide copies to each Grantor of any writings in which the Collateral Agent has
acted as attorney-in-fact within 30 days after the execution of such writings.

                  (N) Not more than four months nor less than 10 days prior to
(i) as to all Collateral, each anniversary of the date hereof during the term of
the Credit Agreement, if requested to do so by the Collateral Agent acting on
the instructions of the Required Lenders, and (ii) as to the Collateral affected
by such action, each date on which it proposes to take any action contemplated
by Section 4(A), each Grantor shall, if requested by the Collateral Agent, and
at such Grantor's cost and expense, cause to be delivered to the Lenders an
opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the
form of Exhibit B to the effect that all financing statements and amendments or
supplements thereto, continuation statements and other documents required to be
recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect the Security Interests, to the
extent such Security Interests can be perfected by recording or filing, for a
period, specified in such opinion, continuing until a date not earlier than six
months from the date of such opinion, against all creditors of and purchasers
from such Grantor have been filed in each filing office necessary for such
purpose and that all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with
such filings have been paid in full.

                  (O) Within five (5) Business Days of entering into, amending,
modifying or terminating any Rolling Stock Lease, each Grantor will deliver a
copy of such Rolling Stock Lease, amendment or modification or notice of such
termination to the Collateral Agent.

                  (P) From time to time upon request by the Collateral Agent,
each Grantor shall, at its cost and expense, cause to be delivered to the
Lenders an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent as to such
matters relating to the transactions contemplated hereby as the Required Lenders
may reasonably request.

                  (Q) This Agreement is made with full recourse to such Grantor
and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants, and
agreements on the part of such Grantor contained herein, in the Derivatives
Obligations Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or
therewith.

                  SECTION 5.  General Authority

                  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent
its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of
the Grantors, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders or otherwise, for the sole use
and benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, but at such Grantor's
expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise at any time and from time to
time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any of the
following powers with respect to all or any of the Collateral:

               (i) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for
          any and all monies due or to become due thereon or by virtue thereof,

               (ii) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any
          action or proceeding with respect thereto,

               (iii) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the
         same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if
         the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof, and

               (iv) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to
         make any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto;

                  provided that the Collateral Agent shall give each Grantor not
         less than thirty (30) days' prior notice of the time and place of any
         sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral, except any
         Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in
         value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. The
         Collateral Agent and each Grantor agree that such notice constitutes
         "reasonable notification" within the meaning of Section 9-504(3) of the
         UCC.

                  SECTION 6.  Remedies upon Event of Default

                  (A) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of the Lenders all rights of a
secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where
such rights are exercised), and, in addition, the Collateral Agent may, without
being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be
required by mandatory provisions of law, (i) apply cash, if any, then held by it
as Collateral as specified in Section 8 and (ii) if there shall be no such cash
or if such cash shall be insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations in
full, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, for
cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the
Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. The Collateral Agent or any Lender may
be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or,
if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of
a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at
any private sale). Each Grantor will execute and deliver such documents and take
such other action as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable in order
that any such sale may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the
purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall
hold the Collateral so sold to it absolutely and free from any claim or right of
whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of any Grantor
which may be waived, and each Grantor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby
specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or
may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. The notice (if any) of
such sale required by Section 5 shall (1) in the case of a public sale, state
the time and place fixed for such sale, and (2) in the case of a private sale,
state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale
shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such
place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice of such sale. At
any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in
separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent
shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The
Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time
or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all
or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral
so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the selling price is paid
by the purchaser thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability
in the case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the
Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may
again be sold upon like notice. The Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the
power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or
in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell the Collateral, or any
portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction.

                  (B) For the purpose of enforcing any and all rights and
remedies under this Agreement, if any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Collateral Agent may (i) require each Grantor to, and each
Grantor agrees that it will, at its expense and upon the request of the
Collateral Agent, forthwith assemble all or any part of the Collateral as
directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available at a place designated by
the Collateral Agent which is, in its opinion, reasonably convenient to the
Collateral Agent and such Grantor, whether at the premises of such Grantor or
otherwise, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter, with or
without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premise where any of
the Collateral is or may be located, and without charge or liability to it seize
and remove such Collateral from such premises, (iii) have access to and use each
Grantors' books and records relating to the Collateral and (iv) prior to the
disposition of the Collateral, store or transfer it without charge in or by
means of any storage or transportation facility owned or leased by the relevant
Grantor, process, repair or recondition it or otherwise prepare it for
disposition in any manner and to the extent the Collateral Agent deems
appropriate and, in connection with such preparation and disposition, use
without charge any trademark, trade name, brand name, copyright, patent or
technical process used by the Borrower. The Collateral Agent may also render any
or all of the Collateral unusable at any Grantor's premises and may dispose of
such Collateral on such premises without liability for rent or costs.

                  (C) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

                 (i) subject to any outstanding licenses or sublicenses to or by
         any Grantor, the Collateral Agent may license or sublicense, whether
         general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or
         non-exclusive basis, any Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks included in
         the Collateral throughout the world for such term or terms, on such
         conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole
         discretion determine;

                (ii) the Collateral Agent may (without assuming any obligations
         or liability thereunder), at any time and from time to time, in its
         sole discretion, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to
         enforce) against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of
         each Grantor in, to and under any Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses
         or Trademark Licenses and take or refrain from taking any action under
         any thereof, and each Grantor hereby releases the Collateral Agent and
         each of the Lenders from, and agrees to hold the Collateral Agent and
         each of the Lenders free and harmless from and against any claims and
         expenses arising out of, any lawful action so taken or omitted to be
         taken with respect thereto; and

               (iii) upon request by the Collateral Agent, each Grantor will
         execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a power of attorney, in
         form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, for the
         implementation of any lease, assignment, license, sublicense, grant of
         option, sale or other disposition of a Copyright, Patent or Trademark
         or any action related thereto. In the event of any such disposition
         pursuant to this Section, each Grantor shall supply its know-how and
         expertise relating to the manufacture and sale of the products bearing
         Trademarks or the products or services made or rendered in connection
         with Patents, and its customer lists and other records relating to such
         Patents and Trademarks and to the distribution of said products, to the
         Collateral Agent.

                  SECTION 7.  Limitation on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect
of Collateral

                  Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof,
the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession
or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income
thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if
the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it
accords its own property, and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or
damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by
reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency,
consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good
faith.

                  SECTION 8.  Application of Proceeds

                  (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any
part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following
order of priorities:

                  first, to payment of the expenses of such sale or other
         realization, including reasonable compensation to agents and counsel
         for the Collateral Agent, and all expenses, liabilities and advances
         incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and
         any other unreimbursed expenses for which the Collateral Agent or any
         Lender is to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 10.03 of the Credit
         Agreement or Section 11 hereof and unpaid fees owing to the Collateral
         Agent under the Credit Agreement;

                  second, to the ratable payment of unpaid principal of the
         Secured Obligations;

                  third, to the ratable payment of accrued but unpaid interest
         on the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the
         Credit Agreement;

                  fourth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured
         Obligations, until all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in
         full; and

                  finally, to payment to the Grantors or their successors or
         assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any
         surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

                  (B) The Collateral Agent may make distributions hereunder in
cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof. The
Collateral Agent shall invest all amounts to be applied to LC Exposures in Cash
Equivalents selected by it and hold such amounts in trust for application to
future drawings under the Letters of Credit notified to it by the LC Issuing
Banks in the order in which such drawings are made. If the Collateral Agent
holds any amounts which were distributable in respect of LC Exposures after the
Letters of Credit have expired and all amounts payable with respect thereto have
been paid, such amounts shall be applied in the order set forth in subsection
(A) above.

                  (C) In making the determinations and allocations required by
this Section, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Lenders
for actions taken in reliance on information supplied by the Lenders as to the
amounts of the Secured Obligations held by them. All distributions made by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall be final, and the Collateral
Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Lenders of any
amount distributed to them. However, if at any time the Collateral Agent
determines that an allocation or distribution previously made pursuant to this
Section was based on a mistake of fact (including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, mistakes based on any assumption that principal or
interest has been paid by payments which are subsequently recovered from the
recipient thereof through the operation of any bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency or other laws or otherwise), the Collateral Agent may in its
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, adjust subsequent allocations and
distributions hereunder so that, on a cumulative basis, the Collateral Agent and
the Lenders receive the distributions to which they would have been entitled if
such mistake of fact had not been made.

                  (D) All payments required to be made to the (i) Lenders
hereunder shall be made to the Collateral Agent for the account of the
respective Lenders and (ii) Derivatives Creditors hereunder shall be made to the
paying agent under the applicable Derivatives Obligations Agreement or, in the
case of Derivatives Obligations Agreements without a paying agent, directly to
the applicable Derivatives Creditor.

                  (E) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance
with this Section 8, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the
Agent for a determination (which the Agent agrees to provide upon request to the
Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Loan Document Obligations and (ii) upon any
Derivatives Creditor for a determination (which each Derivatives Creditor agrees
to provide upon request to the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Secured
Derivatives Obligations owed to such Derivatives Creditor. Unless it has actual
knowledge (including by way of written notice from a Secured Creditor) to the
contrary, the Agent under the Credit Agreement, in furnishing information
pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Collateral Agent, in acting
hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that (x) no Loans Document Obligations
other than principal, interest and regularly accruing fees are owing to any
Lender and (y) no Derivatives Obligations Agreements or Secured Derivatives
Obligations with respect thereto are in existence.

                  (F) Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and
remedy hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to
every other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Agreement, any
Derivatives Obligations Agreement or the other Loan Documents or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be
exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as
may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and
remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of
one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise of any other or
others. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such
right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Secured
Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. In
the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its
rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the
Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.

                  SECTION 9.  Concerning the Collateral Agent

                  The provisions of Article 7 of the Credit Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent in respect of this Agreement and
shall be binding upon the parties to the Credit Agreement in such respect. In
furtherance and not in derogation of the rights, privileges and immunities of
the Collateral Agent therein set forth:

                  (A) The Collateral Agent is authorized to take all such action
         as is provided to be taken by it as Collateral Agent hereunder and all
         other action reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not
         expressly provided for herein (including, without limitation, the
         timing and methods of realization upon the Collateral) the Collateral
         Agent shall act or refrain from acting in accordance with written
         instructions from the Required Lenders or, in the absence of such
         instructions, in accordance with its discretion.

                  (B) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the
         existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the
         validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Security
         Interests in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of
         law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part
         hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or
         inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this
         Agreement by any Grantor.

                  SECTION 10.  Appointment of Co-Collateral Agents

                  At any time or times, in order to comply with any legal
requirement in any jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent may appoint another bank
or trust company or one or more other persons, either to act as co-agent or
co-agents, jointly with the Collateral Agent, or to act as separate agent or
agents on behalf of the Lenders with such power and authority as may be
necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and may be
specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the
Collateral Agent, include provisions for the protection of such co-agent or
separate agent similar to the provisions of Section 9).

                  SECTION 11.  Expenses

                  In the event that any Grantor fails to comply with the
provisions of the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, such that the value of any
Collateral or the validity, perfection, rank or value of any Security Interest
is thereby diminished or potentially diminished or put at risk, the Collateral
Agent if requested by the Required Lenders may, but shall not be required to,
effect such compliance on behalf of such Grantor, and such Grantor shall
reimburse the Collateral Agent for the costs thereof on demand. The Grantors
jointly and severally agree that all insurance expenses and all expenses of
protecting, storing, warehousing, appraising, insuring, handling, maintaining
and shipping the Collateral, any and all excise, property, sales and use taxes
imposed by any state, federal or local authority on any of the Collateral, or in
respect of periodic appraisals and inspections of the Collateral to the extent
the same may reasonably be requested by the Required Lenders from time to time,
or in respect of the sale or other disposition thereof shall be borne and paid
by the Grantors; and if the Grantors fail to promptly pay any portion thereof
when due, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may, at its option, but shall not
be required to, pay the same and charge any Grantor's account therefor, and the
Grantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Collateral Agent or such
Lender therefor on demand. All sums so paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent
or any Lender for any of the foregoing and any and all other sums for which any
Grantor may become liable hereunder and all costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees, legal expenses and court costs) reasonably incurred by the
Collateral Agent or any Lender in enforcing or protecting the Security Interests
or any of their rights or remedies under this Agreement, shall, together with
interest thereon until paid at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%,
be additional Secured Obligations hereunder.

                  SECTION 12. Termination of Security Interests; Release of
Collateral. (a) After the termination of the Total Commitment and all
Derivatives Obligations Agreements, when no Note or Letter of Credit is
outstanding and when all Loans and other Obligations (other than contingent
indemnity obligations) have been paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate
(provided that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation,
in Section 11 hereof shall survive such termination), and the Collateral Agent,
at the request and expense of the relevant Grantor, will execute and deliver to
such Grantor a proper instrument or instruments (including Uniform Commercial
Code termination statements on form UCC-3) acknowledging the satisfaction and
termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such
of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and as has
not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this
Agreement.

                  (b) The Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the relevant
Grantor evidence the release of any or all of the Collateral pursuant to Section
4(J) provided that (x) such release is permitted by the terms of the Credit
Agreement (it being agreed for such purposes that a release will be deemed
"permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement" if the proposed transaction
constitutes an exception to Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement) or otherwise
has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders and (y) the proceeds of
such Collateral are applied as required pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any
consent or waiver with respect thereto.

                  (c) At any time that the relevant Grantor desires that the
Collateral Agent take any action to give effect to any release of Collateral
pursuant to clause (x) of the foregoing Section 12(b), it shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent a certificate signed by an authorized officer describing the
Collateral to be sold and the relevant provision of Section 5.07 of the Credit
Agreement on which it is relying to make such sale. In the event that any part
of the Collateral is released as provided in the preceding paragraph (b), the
Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of such Grantor, will duly release
such Collateral and assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor or its designee
(without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the
Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold and as may be in the
possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been released
pursuant to this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability
whatsoever to any Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by
it as permitted by this Section 12. Upon any release of Collateral pursuant to
Section 12(a) or (b), none of the Secured Creditors shall have any continuing
right or interest in such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof.

                  SECTION 13.  Notices

                  All notices, communications and distributions hereunder shall
be given in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

                  SECTION 14.  Waivers; Non-Exclusive Remedies

                  No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise,
and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise by the Collateral Agent of any right under the Credit Agreement
or this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The rights in this Agreement and the Credit Agreement are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

                  SECTION 15.  Successors and Assigns

                  This Agreement is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and
the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment
of all or any of the Secured Obligations, the rights hereunder, to the extent
applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such
indebtedness. This Agreement shall be binding on each Grantor and its successors
and assigns.

                  SECTION 16.  Changes in Writing

                  None of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be
changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing
duly signed by the Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders or, to the
extent required by Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement, all of the Lenders)
and each Grantor affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or
release of any Grantor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver,
modification or variance affecting any Grantor other than the Borrower and the
Grantor so added or released) provided that (i) no such change, waiver,
modification or variance shall be made to Section 8(A) or this Section 16
without the consent of each Secured Creditor adversely affected thereby, and
(ii) any change, waiver, modification or variance affecting the rights and
benefits of a single Class of Secured Creditors (and not all Secured Creditors
in a like or similar manner) shall require the written consent of the Requisite
Creditors of such Class of Secured Creditors. For the purpose of this Agreement,
the term "Class" shall mean each class of Secured Creditors, i.e., whether (x)
the Lenders as holders of the Loan Document Obligations or (y) the Derivatives
Creditors as holders of the Secured Derivatives Obligations. For the purpose of
this Agreement, the term "Requisite Creditors" of any Class shall mean each of
(x) with respect to the Loan Document Obligations, the Required Lenders and (y)
with respect to the Secured Derivatives Obligations, the holders of at least a
majority of all obligations outstanding from time to time under the Derivatives
Obligations Agreements.

                  SECTION 17.  New York Law

                  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York, except as otherwise required by
mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that remedies provided by
the laws of any jurisdiction other than New York are governed by the laws of
such jurisdiction.

                  SECTION 18.  Severability

                  If any provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other
provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and
shall be liberally construed in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in
order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be
possible; and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in
any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  SECTION 19.  Counterparts

                  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and
any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such
counterpart.

     Section 2. Representations and Warranties.

     Each Grantor represents and warrants as follows:

     (A) Title to Pledged Securities. The Grantors own all of the Pledged
Securities, free and clear of any Liens other than the Security Interests. The
Pledged Stock includes all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each
Issuer owned by the Grantors. All of the Pledged Stock has been duly authorized
and validly issued, and is fully paid and non-assessable, and is subject to no
options to purchase or similar rights of any Person. No Grantor is or will
become a party to or otherwise bound by any agreement, other than this
Agreement, which restricts in any manner the rights of any present or future
holder of any of the Pledged Securities with respect thereto.

     (B) Validity, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests. Upon the
delivery of the Pledged Instruments and certificates representing the Pledged
Stock to the Pledgee in accordance with Section 4 hereof, the Pledgee will have
valid and perfected security interests in the Collateral subject to no prior
Lien other than Permitted Liens. No registration, recordation or filing with
any governmental body, agency or official is required in connection with the
execution or delivery of this Agreement or necessary for the validity or
enforceability hereof or for the perfection or enforcement of the Security
Interests. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has performed or,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws relating to
the rights or relief of debtors, will perform any acts which might prevent the
Pledgee from enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or
which would limit the Pledgee in any such enforcement.

     (C) UCC Filing Locations. The chief executive office of the Borrower and
each of the Guarantors is located at its address set forth on the signature
pages of the Credit Agreement. Under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in the State in which such office is located, no local filing is required to
perfect a security interest in collateral consisting of general intangibles.

                                                                         Page 4

     Section 3. The Security Interests.

     In order to secure the full and punctual payment of the Secured
Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, and to secure the performance
of all the obligations of the Grantors hereunder:

     (A) Each Grantor hereby assigns and pledges to and with the Pledgee for
the benefit of the Creditors and grants to the Pledgee for the benefit of the
Creditors security interests in the Pledged Securities, and all of its rights
and privileges with respect to the Pledged Securities, and all income and
profits thereon, and all interest, dividends and other payments and
distributions with respect thereto, and all proceeds of the foregoing (the
"Collateral"). Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, the
Borrower is delivering the intercompany notes constituting the Pledged
Instruments and certificates representing the Subsidiaries Shares in pledge
hereunder.

     (B) In the event that any Person becomes an Issuer, or any Issuer at any
time issues any additional or substitute shares of capital stock, membership
interests or partnership interests of any class to a Grantor, or issues any
substitute note, or owes any other Debt to a Grantor evidenced by an
instrument, the relevant Grantor will immediately pledge and deposit with the
Pledgee certificates representing all such shares, Limited Liability Company
Interests, Partnership Interests and/or such note (as the case may be) or an
instrument evidencing such other Debt (or take such other action as required by
Section 4 below) held by such Grantor as additional security for the Secured
Obligations. All such shares, interests, notes and instruments constitute
Pledged Securities and are subject to all provisions of this Agreement.

     (C) The Security Interests are granted as security only and shall not
subject the Pledgee or any Creditor to, or transfer or in any way affect or
modify, any obligation or liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection
therewith.

     Section 4. Delivery of Pledged Securities; Procedures.

     (a) To the extent that any Grantor at any time or from time to time owns,
acquires or obtains any right, title or interest in any Collateral, such
Collateral shall automatically (and without the taking of any action by the
respective Grantor) be pledged pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement and, in
addition thereto, such Grantor shall as promptly as practicable take the
following actions as set forth below for the benefit of the Creditors:

          (i) with respect to a Certificated Security (other than a
     Certificated Security credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation),
     the respective Grantor shall physically deliver such Certificated Security
     to the Pledgee, endorsed to the Pledgee or endorsed in blank;

          (ii) with respect to an Uncertificated Security (other than an
     Uncertificated Security credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation),
     the respective Grantor shall cause the issuer of such Uncertificated
     Security to duly authorize and execute, and deliver

<PAGE>

                                                                      Exhibit E
                                                                         Page 5

     to the Pledgee, an agreement for the benefit of the Pledgee and the
     Secured Creditors substantially in the form of Annex A hereto
     (appropriately completed to the satisfaction of the Pledgee and with such
     modifications, if any, as shall be satisfactory to the Pledgee) pursuant
     to which such issuer agrees to comply with any and all instructions
     originated by the Pledgee without further consent by the registered owner
     and not to comply with instructions regarding such Uncertificated Security
     (and any Partnership Interests and Limited Liability Company Interests
     issued by such issuer) originated by any other Person other than a court
     of competent jurisdiction;

          (iii) with respect to a Certificated Security, Uncertificated
     Security, Partnership Interest or Limited Liability Company Interest
     credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation (including a Federal
     Reserve Bank, Participants Trust Company or The Depository Trust Company),
     the respective Grantor shall promptly notify the Pledgee thereof and shall
     promptly take all actions required (i) to comply with the applicable rules
     of such Clearing Corporation and (ii) to perfect the security interest of
     the Pledgee under applicable law (including, in any event, under Sections
     9-115 (4)(a) and (b), 9-115 (1)(e) and 8-106 (d) of the UCC). The Grantor
     further agrees to take such actions as the Pledgee deems necessary or
     desirable to effect the foregoing;

          (iv) with respect to a Partnership Interest or a Limited Liability
     Company Interest (other than a Partnership Interest or Limited Liability
     Interest credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation), (1) if such
     Partnership Interest or Limited Liability Company Interest is represented
     by a certificate, the procedure set forth in Section 3.2(a)(i) hereof, and
     (2) if such Partnership Interest or Limited Liability Company Interest is
     not represented by a certificate, the procedure set forth in Section
     3.2(a)(ii) hereof;

          (v) with respect to any Pledged Instrument, physical delivery of such
     Pledged Instrument to the Pledgee, endorsed to the Pledgee or endorsed in
     blank; and

          (vi) with respect to cash, (i) establishment by the Pledgee of a cash
     account in the name of such Grantor over which the Pledgee shall have
     exclusive and absolute control and dominion (and no withdrawals or
     transfers may be made therefrom by any Person except with the prior
     written consent of the Pledgee) and (ii) deposit of such cash in such cash
     account.

     (b) In addition to the actions required to be taken pursuant to proceeding
Section 4(a) hereof, each Grantor shall take the following additional actions
with respect to the Pledged Securities and Collateral :

          (i) with respect to all Collateral of such Grantor whereby or with
     respect to which the Pledgee may obtain "control" thereof within the
     meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC (or under any provision of the UCC as
     same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or under the laws
     of any relevant State other than the State of New York), the respective
     Grantor shall take all actions as may be requested from time to time by
     the Pledgee so that "control" of such Collateral is obtained and at all
     times held by the Pledgee; and

<PAGE>

                                                                      Exhibit E
                                                                         Page 6

          (ii) each Grantor shall from time to time cause appropriate financing
     statements (on Form UCC-1 or other appropriate form) under the Uniform
     Commercial Code as in effect in the various relevant States, on form
     covering all Collateral hereunder (with the form of such financing
     statements to be satisfactory to the Pledgee), to be filed in the relevant
     filing offices so that at all times the Pledgee has a security interest in
     all Investment Property and other Collateral which is perfected by the
     filing of such financing statements (in each case to the maximum extent
     perfection by filing may be obtained under the laws of the relevant
     States, including, without limitation, Section 9-115(4)(b) of the UCC).

     Section 5. Further Assurances.

     (A) Each Grantor agrees that it will, at its expense and in such manner
and form as the Pledgee may reasonably require, execute, deliver, file and
record any financing statement, specific assignment or other paper and take any
other action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Pledgee may
request, in order to create, preserve, perfect or validate any Security
Interest or to enable the Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder
with respect to any of the Collateral. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Pledgee to execute and file, in the
name of the Borrower or otherwise, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
(which may be carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproductions of this
Agreement or of a financing statement relating to this Agreement) which the
Pledgee in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to further
perfect the Security Interests.

     (B) Each Grantor agrees that it will not change (i) its name, identity or
corporate structure in any manner or (ii) the location of its chief executive
office unless it shall have given the Pledgee not less than 30 days' prior
notice thereof.

     Section 6. Record Ownership of Pledged Stock.

     The Pledgee may at any time or from time to time during the continuance of
an Event of Default, in its sole discretion, cause any or all of the Pledged
Stock to be transferred of record into the name of the Pledgee or its nominee.
Each Grantor will promptly give to the Pledgee copies of any notices or other
communications received by it with respect to Pledged Stock registered in its
name, and the Pledgee will promptly give to the Borrower copies of any notices
and communications received by the Pledgee with respect to Pledged Stock
registered in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee.

     Section 7. Right to Receive Distributions on Collateral.

     During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Pledgee shall have the
right to receive and to retain as Collateral hereunder all dividends, interest
and other payments and distributions made upon or with respect to the
Collateral, and each Grantor shall take all such action as the Pledgee may deem
necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right. All such dividends,
interest and other payments and distributions which are received by a Grantor
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee and the Lenders (but,
unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may be used
by such Grantor as permitted by the other

<PAGE>

                                                                      Exhibit E
                                                                         Page 7

provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). If the Pledgee so
directs during the continuance of an Event of Default, such dividends, interest
and other payments and distributions shall be segregated from other funds of
such Grantor and shall, forthwith upon demand by the Pledgee during the
continuance of an Event of Default, be paid over to the Pledgee as Collateral
in the same form as received (with any necessary endorsement). After all Events
of Default have been cured, the Pledgee's right to retain dividends, interest
and other payments and distributions under this Section 7 shall cease, and the
Pledgee shall pay over to such Grantor any such Collateral retained by it
during the continuance of an Event of Default.

     Section 8. Right to Vote Pledged Stock.

     Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Grantor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Pledged Stock, and the Pledgee
shall, upon receiving a written request from such Grantor accompanied by a
certificate signed by the principal executive officer or principal financial
officer of the Borrower stating that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, deliver to such Grantor or as specified in such request such
proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect of
any of the Pledged Stock which is registered in the name of the Pledgee or its
nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Pledgee.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgee
shall have the right to the extent permitted by law and each Grantor shall take
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such
right, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any
other action with respect to any or all of the Pledged Stock with the same
force and effect as if the Pledgee were the absolute and sole owner thereof.

     Section 9. General Authority.

     Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Pledgee its true and lawful
attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of the Grantors, the
Pledgee, the Lenders or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Pledgee
and Lenders, but at the expense of such Grantor, to the extent permitted by law
to exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to
all or any of the Collateral:

          (i) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any
     and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof,

          (ii) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action
     or proceeding with respect thereto,

          (iii) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the same
     or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the
     Pledgee were the absolute owner thereof, and

<PAGE>

                                                                      Exhibit E
                                                                         Page 7

          (iv) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make
     any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto;

provided that the Pledgee shall give the relevant Grantor not less than thirty
(30) days' prior written notice of the time and place of any sale or other
intended disposition of any of the Collateral. The Pledgee and the Grantors
agree that such notice constitutes "reasonable notification" within the meaning
of Section 9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

     Section 10. Remedies upon Event of Default.

     If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgee
may exercise on behalf of the Lenders all the rights of a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where
such rights are exercised), and, in addition, the Pledgee may, without being
required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required by
mandatory provisions of law, (i) apply the cash, if any, then held by it as
Collateral as specified in Section 13 and (ii) if there shall be no such cash
or if such cash shall be insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations in
full, after not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
relevant Grantor, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private
sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Pledgee may
deem satisfactory. Any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type
customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of
widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale). The Pledgee
is authorized, in connection with any such sale, if it deems it advisable so to
do, (i) to restrict the prospective bidders on or purchasers of any of the
Pledged Securities to a limited number of sophisticated investors who will
represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any of such
Pledged Securities, (ii) to cause to be placed on certificates for any or all
of the Pledged Securities or on any other securities pledged hereunder a legend
to the effect that such security has not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 and may not be disposed of in violation of the provisions of said
Act, and (iii) to impose such other limitations or conditions in connection
with any such sale as the Pledgee deems necessary or advisable in order to
comply with said Act or any other law. Each Grantor will execute and deliver
such documents and take such other action as the Pledgee reasonably deems
necessary or advisable in order that any such sale may be made in compliance
with law. Upon any such sale the Pledgee shall have the right to deliver,
assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and
free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right
of redemption of the Grantors which may be waived, and each Grantor, to the
extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption,
stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted. The notice of such sale required by Section 9 and this
Section 10 shall (1) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place
fixed for such sale, (2) in the case of a sale at a broker's board or on a
securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be
made and the day on which the Collateral, or the portion thereof so being sold,
will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case
of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any
such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business
hours and at such

<PAGE>

                                                                      Exhibit E
                                                                         Page 9

place or places as the Pledgee may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such
sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Pledgee may determine. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Pledgee may, without notice
or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the
sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be
so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the
Pledgee until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the
Pledgee shall not incur any liability in the case of the failure of such
purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any
such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Pledgee,
instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed
by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and
sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a
court or courts of competent jurisdiction.

     Section 11. Expenses.

     The Grantors jointly and severally agree that they will forthwith upon
demand pay to the Pledgee:

          (i) the amount of any taxes which the Pledgee may have been required
     to pay by reason of the Security Interests or to free any of the
     Collateral from any Lien thereon, and

          (ii) the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
     including the fees and disbursements of counsel and of any other experts,
     which the Pledgee may incur in connection with (w) the administration or
     enforcement of this Agreement, including such expenses as are incurred to
     preserve the value of the Collateral and the validity, perfection, rank
     and value of any Security Interest, (x) the collection, sale or other
     disposition of any of the Collateral, (y) the exercise by the Pledgee of
     any of the rights conferred upon it hereunder or (z) any Default or Event
     of Default.

     Any such amount not paid within five business days after demand shall bear
interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2% and shall be an
additional Secured Obligation hereunder.

     Section 12. Limitation on Duty of Pledgee in Respect of Collateral.

     Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Pledgee
shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the
possession or control of any Pledgee or bailee or any income thereon or as to
the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
thereto. The Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own
property, and the Pledgee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or
damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by
reason of the act or omission of any Pledgee or bailee selected by the Pledgee
in good faith.

     Section 13. Application of Proceeds.

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the
Collateral and any cash held shall be applied by the Pledgee in the following
order of priorities:

          first, to payment of the expenses of such sale or other realization,
     including reasonable compensation to Pledgees and counsel for the Pledgee,
     and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Pledgee
     in connection therewith, and any other unreimbursed expenses for which the
     Pledgee or any Lender is to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 10.03 of the
     Credit Agreement or Section 11 hereof and unpaid fees owing to the Pledgee
     under the Credit Agreement;

          second, to the ratable payment of unpaid principal of the Secured
     Obligations;

          third, to the ratable payment of accrued but unpaid interest on the
     Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
     Agreement;

          fourth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations,
     until all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full; and

          finally, to payment to the Grantors or their successors or assigns,
     or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then
     remaining from such proceeds.

          The Pledgee may make distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or,
     on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.

     Section 14. Concerning the Pledgee.

     The provisions of Article VII of the Credit Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of the Pledgee in respect of this Agreement and shall be binding upon
the parties to the Credit Agreement in such respect. In furtherance and not in
derogation of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Pledgee therein set
forth:

          (A) The Pledgee is authorized to take all such action as is provided
     to be taken by it as Pledgee hereunder and all other action reasonably
     incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for herein
     (including, without limitation, the timing and methods of realization upon
     the Collateral), the Pledgee shall act or refrain from acting in
     accordance with written instructions from the Required Lenders or, in the
     absence of such instructions, in accordance with its discretion.

          (B) The Pledgee shall not be responsible for the existence,
     genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity,
     perfection, priority or enforceability of the Security Interests in any of
     the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any
     action or omission to act on its part hereunder. The Pledgee shall have no

<PAGE>

                                                                      Exhibit E
                                                                        Page 11

     duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of
     the terms of this Agreement by the Grantors.

     Section 15. Appointment of Co-Pledgees.

     At any time or times, in order to comply with any legal requirement in any
jurisdiction, the Pledgee may appoint another bank or trust company or one or
more other persons, either to act as co-Pledgee or co-Pledgees, jointly with
the Pledgee, or to act as separate Pledgee or Pledgees on behalf of the
Lenders, with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual
operation of the provisions hereof and may be specified in the instrument of
appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Pledgee, include provisions
for the protection of such co-Pledgee or separate Pledgee similar to the
provisions of Section 14).

     Section 16. Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral.

     (a) After the termination of the Total Commitment and all Derivatives
Obligations Agreements, when no Note or Letter of Credit is outstanding and
when all Loans and other Obligations (other than contingent indemnity
obligations) have been paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate (provided
that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section
11 hereof shall survive such termination), and the Pledgee, at the request and
expense of the relevant Grantor, will execute and deliver to such Grantor a
proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination
of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor
(without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the
Collateral as may be in the possession of the Pledgee and as has not
theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this
Agreement.

     (b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold in connection
with a sale permitted by Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement (it being agreed
for such purposes that a release will be deemed "permitted by Section 5.07 of
the Credit Agreement" if the proposed transaction constitutes an exception to
Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement) or is otherwise released at the direction
of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 10.05 of the
Credit Agreement), and the proceeds of such sale or sales or from such release
are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement to the extent
required to be so applied, the Pledgee, at the request and expense of the
respective Grantor will release such Collateral from this Agreement, duly
assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor (without recourse and without any
representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has
been) so sold or released and as may be in possession of the Pledgee and has
not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.

     (c) At any time that the relevant Grantor desires that the Pledgee take
any action to give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to the
foregoing Section 16(b), it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate
signed by an authorized officer describing the Collateral to be sold and the
relevant provision of Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement on which it is
relying to make such sale. In the event that any part of the Collateral is
released as provided in the preceding paragraph (b), the Pledgee, at the
request and expense of such Grantor, will duly release such Collateral and
assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor or its designee (without

<PAGE>

                                                                      Exhibit E
                                                                        Page 12

recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as
is then being (or has been) so sold and as may be in the possession of the
Pledgee and not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. The
Pledgee shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Creditor as the
result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted by this Section 16. Upon
any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 16(a) or (b), none of the Secured
Creditors shall have any continuing right or interest in such Collateral, or
the proceeds thereof.

     Section 17. Notices.

     All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 10.01 of
the Credit Agreement.

     Section 18. Waivers, Non-exclusive Remedies.

     No failure on the part of the Pledgee to exercise, and no delay in
exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise by the Pledgee of any right under the Credit Agreement or this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right. The rights in this Agreement and the Credit Agreement are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

     Section 19. Successors and Assigns.

     This Agreement is for the benefit of the Pledgee and the Lenders and their
successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment of all or any of the
Secured Obligations, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the
indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This
Agreement shall be binding on the Pledgee, the Lenders, the Grantors and their
respective successors and assigns.

     Section 20. Waiver; Amendment. None of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever
unless in writing duly signed by the Pledgee (with the consent of the Required
Lenders or, to the extent required by Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement,
all of the Lenders), and each Grantor affected thereby (it being understood
that the addition or release of any Grantor hereunder shall not constitute a
change, waiver, discharge or variance affecting any Grantor other than the
Company and the Grantor so added or released) provided that (i) no such change,
waiver, modification or variance shall be made to Section 13 hereof (directly
or indirectly by modifying Section 8(A) of the Security Agreement), or this
Section 20 without the consent of each Secured Creditor adversely affected
thereby and (ii) that any change, waiver, modification or variance affecting
the rights and benefits of a single Class of Secured Creditors (and not all
Secured Creditors in a like or similar manner) shall require the written
consent of the Requisite Creditors of such Class of Secured Creditors. For the
purpose of this Agreement, the term "Class" shall mean each class of Secured
Creditors, i.e., whether (x) the Lenders and Pledgee as holders of the Loan
Document Obligations or (y) the Derivatives Creditors as holders of the
Interest Rate Obligations. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term
"Requisite Creditors" of any Class shall mean each of (x) with respect to each
of the Loan Document Obligations, the Required Lenders and (y) with

                                                                      Exhibit E
                                                                        Page 13

respect to the Interest Rate Obligations, the holders of at least a majority of
all obligations outstanding from time to time under the Derivatives Obligations
Agreements.

     Section 21. Pledgee Not A Partner Or Limited Liability Company Member. (a)
Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Pledgee or any other Creditor
liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any
partnership and neither the Pledgee nor any other Creditor by virtue of this
Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall
have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited
liability company or partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that,
unless the Pledgee shall become the absolute owner of Collateral consisting of
a Limited Liability Company Interest or Partnership Interest pursuant hereto,
this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint
venture among the Pledgee, any other Creditor, any Grantor and/or any other
Person.

     (b) Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this
Section 21, the Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to become
a member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership or
otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to any Grantor, any
limited liability company, partnership and/or any other Person either before or
after an Event of Default shall have occurred. The Pledgee shall have only
those powers set forth herein and the Creditors shall assume none of the
duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company
or as a partner of any partnership or any Grantor except as provided in the
last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.

     (c) The Pledgee and the other Creditors shall not be obligated to perform
or discharge any obligation of any Grantor as a result of the pledge hereby
effected.

     (d) The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all the rights,
powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any
event obligate the Pledgee or any other Creditor to appear in or defend any
action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or
to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any
expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the
Collateral.

     Section 22. New York Law.

     This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the State of New York, except as otherwise required by mandatory
provisions of law and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws
of any jurisdiction other than New York are governed by the laws of such
jurisdiction.

     Section 23. Severability.

     If any provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions hereof
shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be
liberally construed in favor of the Pledgee and the Lenders in order to carry
out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible; and (ii)
the

invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

     Section 24. Attachment.

     Each Grantor acknowledges that (i) value has been given, (ii) it has
rights in the Collateral (other than after-acquired Collateral), (iii) it has
not agreed to postpone the time of attachment of the Security Interest and (iv)
it has received a duplicate original copy of this Pledge Agreement

     WHEREAS, each Grantor and the Pledgee have entered into a Pledge
Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2000 (as amended, amended and restated,
modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Pledge Agreement"), under
which, among other things, in order to secure the payment of the Obligations
(as defined in the Pledge Agreement), each Grantor will pledge to the Pledgee
for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Pledge Agreement),
and grant a security interest in favor of the Pledgee for the benefit of the
Secured Creditors in, all of the right, title and interest of such Grantor in
and to any and all (1) "uncertificated securities" (as defined in Section
8-102(a)(18) of the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the State of New
York) ("Uncertificated Securities"), (2) Partnership Interests (as defined in
the Pledge Agreement) and (3) Limited Liability Company Interests (as defined
in the Pledge Agreement), in each case issued from time to time by the Issuer,
whether now existing or hereafter from time to time acquired by such Grantor
(with all of such Uncertificated Securities, Partnership Interests and Limited
Liability Company Interests being herein collectively called the "Issuer
Pledged Interests"); and

     WHEREAS, each Grantor desires the Issuer to enter into this Agreement in
order to perfect the security interest of the Pledgee under the Pledge
Agreement in the Issuer Pledged Interests, to vest in the Pledgee control of
the Issuer Pledge Interests and to provide for the rights of the parties under
this Agreement;

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

     1. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Issuer, and
the Issuer hereby agrees, to comply with any and all instructions and orders
originated by the Pledgee (and its successors and assigns) regarding any and
all of the Issuer Pledged Interests without the further consent by the
registered owner (including the respective Grantor), and not to comply with any
instructions or orders regarding any or all of the Issuer Pledged Interests

Interests has been registered in the books and records of the Issuer.

Pledged Interests, and (ii) the Issuer Pledged Interests are fully paid and
nonassessable.

illegal, invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or
filed under applicable law. If any provision of this Mortgage or the
application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, or cause this Mortgage not to be entitled to
be recorded, registered or filed, the remaining provisions of this Mortgage or
the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not
be affected thereby, and each provision of this Mortgage shall be valid and be

     than the payment of amounts accrued and unpaid under Sections 4, 5, 6 and
     7 hereof through such resignation date, and continuing obligations under

any business in competition with the primary business conducted by Employer,

influence any employee of Employer to terminate his employment; or (iv)
directly or indirectly request any present or future (as defined above)
entities with whom Employer has significant business relationships to curtail
or cancel their business with Employer. In addition and without limiting the
foregoing, upon the termination of the Executive's employment by the Employer
for any reason, whether before or after the expiration of the Employment Term,
Executive shall not (x) at any time directly or indirectly disclose to any
person, firm or corporation any trade, technical or technological secrets, or

organization or business affairs, or any names of past, present or future (as

                                       5

defined above) customers of Employer. For purposes of this Section 10, the term
"Employer" shall be deemed to include Employer and all of its subsidiary
corporations.

property of Employer. Executive agrees to make prompt disclosure to the Board
of Directors of Employer of all such inventions, etc., and to do at Employer's

their full enjoyment and protection. In the event of any breach or threatened
breach of the provisions of this Section 11 or the preceding Section 10,
Employer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin such
breach. Any such remedy shall be in addition to Employer's remedies at law
under such circumstances.

     12. Conflicting Agreements. Each of the parties hereby represents and
warrants to the other that (a) neither the execution of this Agreement by such
