business proposals to Thayer or an Affiliate of Thayer on any matters during
the Noncompete Period, or from attempting to structure business transactions
involving the sale or purchase of any assets or services of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, provided Executive has obtained a confidentiality agreement (on a
Company approved form) from any third party with which he discusses such
business transactions and approval from a senior executive of the Company to
approach said third party, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

         1.10 NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Subsequent to the date hereof, the parties
hereto agree not to intentionally make to any customer, supplier, employee or
business relation or affiliate of the Company, Thayer, or the general public

officers, directors, shareholders and employees).

acknowledges and agrees that:

                  (a)      As a necessary function of Executive's employment
with the Company, Executive had access to and utilized Confidential Information
which constitutes a valuable and essential asset of the Company's business.

                  (b)      The Confidential Information, observations and data
obtained by Executive during the course of his employment concerning the
business and affairs of the Company are the property of the Company, including
information concerning the acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related
to the Business of which Executive became aware during his employment by the
Company. Therefore, Executive agrees that he will not disclose to any
unauthorized Person or use for his own account any of the Confidential
Information without the Board's written consent. Within ten (10) days following
the date of this Agreement, Executive agrees to deliver to the Company all
memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents (including copies
thereof) relating to the Business or any other Confidential Information which
are in the possession or control of Executive.

                  (c)      Executive acknowledges that all inventions,
innovations, developments, improvements, methods, designs, analyses, drawings,
software, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not
patented or patentable) developed by Executive during his employment by the
Company which (i) directly or indirectly relate to the Company or its
Affiliates or the Business, or (ii) resulted from any work performed by
Executive while employed by the Company or its Affiliates belongs to the
Company and its Affiliates and Executive represents and warrants that, except
to the extent previously transmitted to the Company, no such inventions,
innovations, developments, improvements, methods, designs, analyses, drawings,
software, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not
patented or patentable) exist.

         1.12     NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION.

                  (a)      Executive acknowledges that in the course of his
employment with the Company he has become familiar with the Company's and its
Affiliates' trade secrets and with other Confidential Information concerning
the Company and that his services were of special, unique and extraordinary
value to the Company and its Affiliates. Therefore, Executive agrees that,
until October 31, 2000 (the "Noncompete Period"), and the timely satisfaction
by the Company of all obligations to the Executive as provided under this
Agreement he shall not, without the Company's prior consent, engage in
Competitive Activity by directly owning, managing, controlling, participating
in, consulting with, or

                                       6

<PAGE>   7

engaging in any business competing with the Business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries or any businesses as to which Executive has knowledge that the
Company or its Subsidiaries have firm plans to engage in.

         (b)      During the Noncompete Period and for a period of twelve (12)
months thereafter, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another
entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company or any
Subsidiary to leave the employ of the Company or such Subsidiary, or in any way
interfere with the relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary and any
employee thereof or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier,
vendor, licensee or other business relation of the Company or any Subsidiary to
cease doing business with the Company or such Subsidiary or to modify its
business relationship with the Company in a manner adverse to the Company or
any Subsidiary, or in any way disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries to any
such customer, supplier, vendor, licensee or business relation of the Company
or any Subsidiary.

         (c)      If, at the time of enforcement of Section 1.11 or 1.12 of
this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that
the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such
circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and
that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to
cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because
Executive's services are unique and because Executive has access to
Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be
an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event
a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors
or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their
favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance
and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any
violations of, the provisions hereof.

   (i) EURODOLLAR ADVANCE TO BE MADE ON A BORROWING DATE, WHEN AGGREGATED WITH
   ALL AMOUNTS TO BE CONVERTED TO, OR CONTINUED AS, A EURODOLLAR ADVANCE ON
   SUCH DATE AND HAVING THE SAME INTEREST PERIOD AS SUCH FIRST EURODOLLAR
   ADVANCE, SHALL

   EQUAL THE MINIMUM AMOUNT AND (ii) EACH ABR ADVANCE MADE ON EACH BORROWING
   DATE SHALL EQUAL THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OR, IF LESS, THE UNUSED PORTION OF THE
   AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT.

   Funding by Lenders. UPON RECEIPT OF EACH CREDIT REQUEST, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
   AGENT SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY EACH LENDER THEREOF. SUBJECT TO ITS RECEIPT OF
   THE NOTICE REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, EACH LENDER WILL MAKE THE
   AMOUNT OF ITS REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF THE REQUESTED REVOLVING LOANS AVAILABLE
   TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR THE ACCOUNT OF THE BORROWER AT THE PAYMENT
   OFFICE NOT LATER THAN 1:00 P.M. ON THE RELEVANT BORROWING DATE REQUESTED BY
   THE BORROWER, IN FUNDS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AT
   SUCH OFFICE. THE AMOUNTS SO MADE AVAILABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON
   SUCH BORROWING DATE WILL THEN, SUBJECT TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE TERMS AND
   CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, BE MADE AVAILABLE ON SUCH DATE TO THE BORROWER
   BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AT THE PAYMENT OFFICE BY CREDITING THE ACCOUNT OF
   THE BORROWER ON THE BOOKS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AT SUCH OFFICE WITH THE
   AGGREGATE OF SAID AMOUNTS (IN LIKE FUNDS) RECEIVED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE
   AGENT. THE FAILURE OF ANY LENDER TO PROVIDE SUCH LENDER'S SHARE OF THE
   REQUESTED REVOLVING LOANS SHALL NOT RELIEVE ANY OTHER LENDER OF ITS
   OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO PROVIDE ITS SHARE OF THE REQUESTED REVOLVING LOANS.

   Failure to Fund. UNLESS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE
   PRIOR TO A PROPOSED BORROWING DATE (OR, IN THE CASE OF A BORROWING OF ABR
   ADVANCES, PRIOR TO 12:00 NOON ON SUCH BORROWING DATE) FROM A LENDER (BY
   TELEPHONE OR OTHERWISE, SUCH NOTICE TO BE PROMPTLY CONFIRMED BY FACSIMILE OR
   OTHER WRITING) THAT SUCH LENDER WILL NOT MAKE AVAILABLE TO THE
   ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SUCH LENDER'S SHARE OF THE REQUESTED REVOLVING LOANS,
   THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY ASSUME THAT SUCH LENDER HAS MADE SUCH SHARE
   AVAILABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON THE BORROWING DATE IN ACCORDANCE
   WITH THIS SECTION AND, IN RELIANCE UPON SUCH ASSUMPTION, MAKE AVAILABLE TO
   THE BORROWER ON SUCH BORROWING DATE A CORRESPONDING AMOUNT. IF AND TO THE
   EXTENT SUCH LENDER SHALL NOT HAVE SO MADE SUCH SHARE AVAILABLE TO THE
   ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, SUCH LENDER AND THE BORROWER SEVERALLY AGREE TO PAY TO
   THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FORTHWITH ON DEMAND SUCH CORRESPONDING AMOUNT (TO
   THE EXTENT NOT PREVIOUSLY PAID BY THE OTHER), TOGETHER WITH INTEREST THEREON
   FOR EACH DAY FROM THE DATE SUCH AMOUNT IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE BORROWER TO
   THE DATE SUCH AMOUNT IS PAID TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AT A RATE PER
   ANNUM EQUAL TO, IN THE CASE OF THE BORROWER, THE INTEREST RATE OTHERWISE
   APPLICABLE TO SUCH REVOLVING LOAN, AND, IN THE CASE OF SUCH LENDER, AT A
   RATE OF INTEREST PER ANNUM EQUAL TO THE GREATER OF THE FEDERAL FUNDS
   EFFECTIVE RATE AND A RATE DETERMINED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN
   ACCORDANCE WITH BANKING INDUSTRY RATES ON INTERBANK COMPENSATION. IF SUCH
   LENDER SHALL PAY TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SUCH CORRESPONDING AMOUNT, SUCH
   AMOUNT SO PAID SHALL CONSTITUTE SUCH LENDER'S REVOLVING LOAN AS PART OF THE
   RELEVANT BORROWING FOR PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 2.3. TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS

   Voluntary Termination or Reductions. THE BORROWER MAY, UPON AT LEAST THREE
   BUSINESS DAYS' PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, (i) AT ANY
   TIME WHEN THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING EXPOSURE SHALL BE ZERO, TERMINATE ALL OF
   THE REVOLVING COMMITMENTS, AND (ii) AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN
   (A) THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT SHALL EXCEED THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING
   EXPOSURE (AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONTEMPORANEOUS PAYMENT OR PREPAYMENT
   OF REVOLVING LOANS OR REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS) PERMANENTLY REDUCE THE
   AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT BY A SUM NOT GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH
   EXCESS, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT EACH SUCH PARTIAL REDUCTION SHALL BE IN THE
   AMOUNT OF $1,000,000 OR SUCH AMOUNT PLUS A WHOLE MULTIPLE OF $500,000 IN
   EXCESS THEREOF.

   Termination on Commitment Termination Date. UNLESS PREVIOUSLY TERMINATED, THE
   REVOLVING COMMITMENTS SHALL TERMINATE ON THE COMMITMENT TERMINATION DATE.

   Scheduled Reductions of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. ON THE SECOND
   RESTATEMENT DATE, THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT (AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO
   THE COMBINATION THEREOF WITH THE AGGREGATE ACQUISITION LOAN COMMITMENT (AS
   DEFINED IN THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT)) SHALL BE PERMANENTLY REDUCED TO
   $41,000,000. IN ADDITION, ON EACH DATE SET FORTH BELOW (EACH, A "Scheduled
   Reduction Date"), THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY
   REDUCED TO THE FOLLOWING AMOUNTS:

   REDUCTIONS OF THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.3(c)
   ON A PRO RATA BASIS. EACH REDUCTION OF THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT
   SHALL BE MADE BY REDUCING EACH LENDER'S REVOLVING COMMITMENT BY AN AMOUNT
   EQUAL TO SUCH LENDER'S REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF SUCH REDUCTION.
   SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH EACH REDUCTION OF THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT,
   THE BORROWER SHALL PAY THE COMMITMENT FEE ACCRUED ON THE AMOUNT BY WHICH THE
   AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT HAS BEEN REDUCED.

   INTEREST PERIOD, THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF SUCH EURODOLLAR
   ADVANCES SHALL EXCEED (SUBJECT TO SECTION 3.3) THE MINIMUM AMOUNT.

   Other Mandatory Prepayments. ON OR BEFORE EACH DATE SET FORTH BELOW, THE
   BORROWER SHALL PREPAY THE REVOLVING LOANS BY THE AMOUNT SET FORTH BELOW AND

   Refinancing Debt, by an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds;

      in an amount equal to all Applicable Proceeds (i) in excess of amounts

       simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Aggregate
   Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans by an
   amount equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate outstanding principal
   balance of the Revolving Loans, or (B) the excess of the Aggregate Revolving
   Exposure (giving effect to the prepayments required in clauses (i) through
   (vi) above) over the Aggregate Revolving Commitment as so reduced or
   terminated, provided that if after giving effect to such prepayment on a
   Scheduled Reduction Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
   Revolving Loans exceeds the amount set forth in the following table opposite
   such Scheduled Reduction Date, the Borrower shall make an additional
   prepayment of the Revolving Loans on such Scheduled Reduction Date in an

   THE AGGREGATE REVOLVING COMMITMENT AS SO REDUCED OR TERMINATED, THE LETTER
   OF CREDIT COMMITMENT SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED BY AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO
   SUCH EXCESS, PROVIDED THAT IF THE AGGREGATE LETTER OF CREDIT EXPOSURE OF ALL
   LENDERS EXCEEDS THE LETTER OF CREDIT COMMITMENT AS SO REDUCED OR TERMINATED,
   THE BORROWER SHALL IMMEDIATELY DEPOSIT INTO THE CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT SUCH
   AMOUNT, IN CASH, AS WOULD CAUSE THE BALANCE ON DEPOSIT IN THE CASH
   COLLATERAL ACCOUNT TO EQUAL OR EXCEED THE AGGREGATE LETTER OF CREDIT
   EXPOSURE OF ALL LENDERS.

   WARRANTY, AN UNDIVIDED INTEREST AND PARTICIPATION, TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH
   LENDER'S REVOLVING PERCENTAGE THEREOF, IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT AND THE
   OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER WITH RESPECT THERETO AND ANY SECURITY THEREFOR AND
   ANY GUARANTY PERTAINING THERETO AT ANY TIME EXISTING.

   Drawings on Letters of Credit. THE ISSUER SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY (i) EACH
   LENDER OF THE ISSUER'S RECEIPT OF A DRAWING REQUEST UNDER ANY LETTER OF
   CREDIT, STATING THE AMOUNT OF SUCH LENDER'S REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF SUCH
   DRAWING REQUEST AND THE DATE ON WHICH SUCH REQUEST WILL BE HONORED AND (ii)

   OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER OR ANY LENDER HEREUNDER. IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO
   PAY UNDER ANY LETTER OF CREDIT, THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO ANY
   LENDER OR THE BORROWER OTHER THAN TO CONFIRM THAT ANY DOCUMENTS REQUIRED TO
   BE DELIVERED UNDER SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT HAVE BEEN DELIVERED AND THAT THEY
   APPEAR TO COMPLY ON THEIR FACE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH LETTER OF
   CREDIT. IN THE ABSENCE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT ON THE PART
   OF THE ISSUER, THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY LENDER OR THE
   BORROWER FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY IT UNDER OR IN
   CONNECTION WITH ANY LETTER OF CREDIT, INCLUDING ANY SUCH ACTION NEGLIGENTLY

   PROVIDED IN SECTION 3.1, IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY CLAIM, SETOFF, DEFENSE OR OTHER
   RIGHT WHICH THE BORROWER MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME AGAINST THE ISSUER OR ANY
   OTHER PERSON. IN THE EVENT THAT THE ISSUER MAKES ANY PAYMENT UNDER ANY
   LETTER OF CREDIT AND BORROWER SHALL NOT HAVE REPAID SUCH AMOUNT TO THE
   ISSUER WHEN DUE, THE ISSUER SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY EACH LENDER OF SUCH
   FAILURE, AND EACH LENDER SHALL PROMPTLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY PAY TO THE
   ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, FOR THE ACCOUNT OF THE ISSUER, THE AMOUNT OF SUCH
   LENDER'S REVOLVING Percentage OF SUCH PAYMENT IN DOLLARS IN IMMEDIATELY
   AVAILABLE FUNDS ON THE BUSINESS DAY THE ISSUER SO NOTIFIES SUCH LENDER IF
   SUCH NOTICE IS GIVEN PRIOR TO 12:00 NOON OR, IF SUCH NOTICE IS GIVEN AFTER
   12:00 NOON, SUCH LENDER SHALL MAKE ITS REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF SUCH PAYMENT
   AVAILABLE TO THE ISSUER PRIOR TO 12:00 NOON ON THE NEXT SUCCEEDING BUSINESS
   DAY.

   Lenders' Obligations. IF AND TO THE EXTENT ANY LENDER SHALL NOT MAKE SUCH
   LENDER'S REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF ANY REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS AVAILABLE TO
   THE ISSUER WHEN DUE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.5(e), SUCH LENDER AGREES TO
   PAY INTEREST TO THE ISSUER ON SUCH UNPAID AMOUNT FOR EACH DAY FROM THE DATE
   SUCH PAYMENT IS DUE UNTIL THE DATE SUCH AMOUNT IS PAID IN FULL TO THE ISSUER
   AT THE FEDERAL FUNDS EFFECTIVE RATE UNTIL (AND INCLUDING) THE THIRD BUSINESS
   DAY AFTER THE DATE DUE AND THEREAFTER AT THE ALTERNATE BASE RATE. THE
   OBLIGATIONS OF THE LENDERS UNDER THIS SECTION 2.5(f) ARE SEVERAL AND NOT
   JOINT OR JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND THE FAILURE OF ANY LENDER TO MAKE AVAILABLE
   TO THE ISSUER ITS REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF ANY REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS WHEN
   DUE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.5(e) SHALL NOT RELIEVE ANY OTHER LENDER OF
   ITS OBLIGATION HEREUNDER TO MAKE ITS REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF SUCH
   REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS SO AVAILABLE WHEN SO DUE, BUT NO LENDER SHALL BE
   RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE OF ANY OTHER LENDER TO MAKE SUCH OTHER LENDER'S
   REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF SUCH REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS SO AVAILABLE WHEN SO
   DUE.

   Rescission. WHENEVER THE ISSUER RECEIVES A PAYMENT OF A REIMBURSEMENT
   OBLIGATION FROM OR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER AS TO WHICH THE ISSUER HAS RECEIVED
   ANY PAYMENT FROM A LENDER PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.5(e), THE ISSUER SHALL
   PROMPTLY PAY TO SUCH LENDER AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO SUCH LENDER'S REVOLVING
   PERCENTAGE OF SUCH PAYMENT FROM OR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER. IF ANY PAYMENT BY
   OR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER AND RECEIVED BY THE ISSUER WITH RESPECT TO ANY
   LETTER OF CREDIT IS RESCINDED OR MUST OTHERWISE BE RETURNED BY THE ISSUER
   FOR ANY REASON AND THE ISSUER HAS PAID TO ANY LENDER ANY

<PAGE>   32

   PORTION THEREOF, EACH SUCH LENDER SHALL FORTHWITH PAY OVER TO THE ISSUER AN
   AMOUNT EQUAL TO SUCH LENDER'S REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF THE AMOUNT WHICH MUST
   BE SO RETURNED BY THE ISSUER.

   Expenses. EACH LENDER, UPON THE DEMAND OF THE ISSUER, SHALL REIMBURSE THE
   ISSUER, TO THE EXTENT THE ISSUER HAS NOT BEEN REIMBURSED BY BORROWER AFTER
   DEMAND THEREFOR, FOR THE REASONABLE COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE
   ATTORNEYS' FEES) INCURRED BY THE ISSUER IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLECTION OF
   AMOUNTS DUE UNDER, AND THE PRESERVATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY RIGHTS
   CONFERRED BY, ANY LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ISSUER'S
   OBLIGATIONS AS ISSUER OF THE LETTERS OF CREDIT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN
   RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH LENDER'S REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF THE
   AMOUNT OF SUCH COSTS AND EXPENSES PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE
   LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS,
   LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR
   DISBURSEMENTS TO THE EXTENT THE SAME RESULT SOLELY FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE
   OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE ISSUER. THE ISSUER SHALL REFUND ANY COSTS AND
   EXPENSES REIMBURSED BY SUCH LENDER THAT ARE SUBSEQUENTLY RECOVERED FROM
   BORROWER IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO SUCH LENDER'S REVOLVING PERCENTAGE THEREOF.

   Obligations Absolute. THE OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWER TO REIMBURSE THE ISSUER
   PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 2.5, AND THE OBLIGATION OF EACH LENDER TO MAKE
   AVAILABLE TO THE ISSUER THE AMOUNTS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 2.5 SHALL BE

   (A) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due under the Loan
   Documents, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
   amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (B) second,
   towards payment of principal then due under the Loan Documents, ratably

   PRIOR NOTICE TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY SUCH NOTICE BEING EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY

   LOAN PARTY OR AGAINST ANY TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY, CUSTODIAN, DEBTOR IN
   POSSESSION, ASSIGNEE FOR THE BENEFIT OF CREDITORS, RECEIVER, OR EXECUTION,
   JUDGMENT OR ATTACHMENT CREDITOR OF SUCH LOAN PARTY, OR AGAINST ANYONE ELSE
   CLAIMING THROUGH OR AGAINST SUCH LOAN PARTY, OR SUCH TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY,
   CUSTODIAN, DEBTOR IN POSSESSION, ASSIGNEE FOR THE BENEFIT OF CREDITORS,
   RECEIVER, OR EXECUTION, JUDGMENT OR ATTACHMENT CREDITOR, NOTWITHSTANDING THE
   FACT THAT SUCH RIGHT OF SET-OFF SHALL NOT HAVE BEEN EXERCISED BY SUCH CREDIT
   PARTY PRIOR TO THE MAKING, FILING OR ISSUANCE, OR SERVICE UPON SUCH CREDIT
   PARTY OF, OR OF NOTICE OF, ANY SUCH PETITION, ASSIGNMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF

   Adjustments. IF ANY LENDER SHALL OBTAIN ANY PAYMENT (WHETHER VOLUNTARY,
   INVOLUNTARY, THROUGH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, OR OTHERWISE) IN
   RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF OR INTEREST ON ITS REVOLVING LOANS, RESULTING IN
   SUCH LENDER RECEIVING PAYMENT OF A GREATER PROPORTION OF THE AGGREGATE
   PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF, OR ACCRUED INTEREST ON, SUCH REVOLVING LOAN THAN THE
   PROPORTION RECEIVED BY ANY OTHER LENDER, THEN THE LENDER RECEIVING SUCH
   GREATER PROPORTION SHALL PROMPTLY PURCHASE, AT FACE VALUE FOR CASH,
   PARTICIPATIONS IN THE REVOLVING LOANS TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY SO THAT THE
   BENEFIT OF SUCH PAYMENT SHALL BE SHARED BY THE LENDERS RATABLY IN ACCORDANCE
   WITH THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF PRINCIPAL OF AND ACCRUED INTEREST ON THEIR
   REVOLVING LOANS, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT (d) IF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF SUCH
   PAYMENT IS THEREAFTER RECOVERED, SUCH PARTICIPATIONS SHALL BE RESCINDED AND
   THE PURCHASE PRICE RETURNED, IN EACH CASE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH RECOVERY,
   AND (e) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 2.6(c) SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO
   APPLY TO ANY PAYMENT MADE BY THE BORROWER PURSUANT TO AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
   THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PAYMENT OBTAINED BY A LENDER AS

   REVOLVING LOANS TO ANY ASSIGNEE OR PARTICIPANT, OTHER THAN TO THE BORROWER
   OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATE THEREOF (AS TO WHICH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
   SECTION 2.6(c) SHALL APPLY). THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY LENDER THAT
   PURCHASED A PARTICIPATION PURSUANT TO THIS SUBSECTION MAY EXERCISE SUCH
   RIGHTS TO PAYMENT (INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF SET-OFF) WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
   PARTICIPATION AS FULLY AS SUCH LENDER WERE THE DIRECT CREDITOR OF THE
   BORROWER IN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH PARTICIPATION.

SECTION 2.7. CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT

   time to time make one or more deposits into the Cash Collateral Account. The
   Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
   Credit Parties, a Lien on and security interest in the Cash Collateral
   Account and all sums at any time and from time to time on deposit therein
   (the Cash Collateral Account, together with all sums on deposit therein,
   being sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "CASH
   COLLATERAL"), as collateral security for the prompt payment in full when
   due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the
   Borrower Obligations. The Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to
   time at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver to the
   Administrative Agent any further instruments and documents, and take any
   further actions, that may be necessary or that the Administrative Agent may
   reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest
   granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative
   Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect
   to any Cash Collateral. The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or
   otherwise dispose of any of the Cash Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to
   exist any Lien upon any of the Cash Collateral, except for Permitted Liens.
   The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, promptly after each
   drawing under any Letter of Credit shall become due and payable, to apply
   any and all cash on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account towards the
   reimbursement of the Issuer for all sums paid in respect of such drawing,
   and all other Borrower Obligations which shall then be due and owing.

   ON SUCH DATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.2 AND HAVING THE SAME INTEREST
   PERIOD AS SUCH FIRST EURODOLLAR ADVANCE, SHALL EQUAL THE MINIMUM AMOUNT.

   NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, UPON THE
   OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE BORROWER
   SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO ELECT TO CONVERT ANY EXISTING

                                       35

   EACH CONVERSION OR CONTINUATION SHALL BE EFFECTED BY EACH LENDER BY APPLYING
   THE PROCEEDS OF ITS NEW ABR ADVANCE OR EURODOLLAR ADVANCE, AS THE CASE MAY
   BE, TO ITS ADVANCES (OR PORTION THEREOF) BEING CONVERTED (IT BEING
   UNDERSTOOD THAT ANY SUCH CONVERSION OR CONTINUATION SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A
   BORROWING FOR PURPOSES OF ARTICLES 4, 5 OR 6).

SECTION 3.4. CONCERNING INTEREST PERIODS

   NO INTEREST PERIOD IN RESPECT OF A EURODOLLAR ADVANCE SHALL END AFTER THE
   COMMITMENT TERMINATION DATE.

   WITH RESPECT TO EURODOLLAR ADVANCES, ANY INTEREST PERIOD WHICH BEGINS ON THE
   LAST BUSINESS DAY OF A CALENDAR MONTH (OR ON A DAY FOR WHICH THERE IS NO
   NUMERICALLY CORRESPONDING DAY IN THE CALENDAR MONTH AT THE END OF SUCH
   INTEREST PERIOD) SHALL END ON THE LAST BUSINESS DAY OF A CALENDAR MONTH. IF
   AN INTEREST PERIOD WOULD OTHERWISE END ON A DAY WHICH IS NOT A BUSINESS DAY,
   SUCH INTEREST PERIOD SHALL BE EXTENDED TO THE NEXT SUCCEEDING BUSINESS DAY,
   UNLESS, IN THE CASE OF A INTEREST PERIOD, THE RESULT OF SUCH EXTENSION WOULD
   BE TO CARRY SUCH INTEREST PERIOD INTO ANOTHER CALENDAR MONTH, IN WHICH EVENT
   SUCH INTEREST PERIOD SHALL END ON THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING BUSINESS DAY.

   IF THE BORROWER SHALL HAVE FAILED TO TIMELY ELECT A EURODOLLAR ADVANCE UNDER
   SECTION 2.2 OR 3.3, AS THE CASE MAY BE, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY BORROWING OF,
   CONVERSION TO, OR CONTINUATION OF, A EURODOLLAR ADVANCE, SUCH BORROWING OR
   SUCH ADVANCE REQUESTED TO BE CONVERTED TO, OR CONTINUED AS, A EURODOLLAR
   ADVANCE SHALL THEREAFTER BE AN ABR ADVANCE UNTIL SUCH TIME, IF ANY, AS THE
   BORROWER SHALL ELECT A NEW EURODOLLAR ADVANCE PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.3.

   THE BORROWER SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO HAVE MORE THAN EIGHT EURODOLLAR
   ADVANCES OUTSTANDING AT ANY ONE TIME, IT BEING AGREED THAT EACH BORROWING OF

   LIMITATION.

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
   the Borrower shall fail to borrow, convert or continue a Eurodollar Advance

   do so in which it shall have requested a Eurodollar Advance, or if a
   Eurodollar Advance shall be terminated for any reason prior to the last day
   of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if, while a Eurodollar Advance
   is outstanding, any repayment or prepayment of such Eurodollar Advance is
   made for any reason (including as a result of acceleration or illegality) on
   a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable
   thereto, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against, and to pay on
   demand directly to such Lender the amount (calculated by such Lender using
   any reasonable method chosen by such Lender which is customarily used by
   such Lender for such purpose) equal to any loss or out-of-pocket expense
   suffered by such Lender as a result of such failure to borrow convert, or
   continue, or such termination, repayment or prepayment, including any loss,
   cost or expense suffered by such Lender in liquidating or employing deposits
   acquired to fund or maintain the funding of such Eurodollar Advance or
   redeploying funds prepaid or repaid, in amounts which correspond to such
   Eurodollar Advance and any reasonable internal processing charge customarily
   charged by such Lender in connection therewith.

SECTION 3.6. INCREASED COSTS; ILLEGALITY, ETC.

   Increased Costs. IF ANY CHANGE IN LAW SHALL IMPOSE, MODIFY OR MAKE
   APPLICABLE ANY RESERVE, SPECIAL DEPOSIT, COMPULSORY LOAN, ASSESSMENT,
   INCREASED COST OR SIMILAR REQUIREMENT AGAINST ASSETS HELD BY, OR DEPOSITS

   ACQUISITION OF FUNDS BY, ANY OFFICE OF ANY CREDIT PARTY IN RESPECT OF ITS
   EURODOLLAR ADVANCES WHICH IS NOT OTHERWISE INCLUDED IN THE DETERMINATION OF
   A EURODOLLAR RATE OR AGAINST ANY LETTERS OF CREDIT ISSUED HEREUNDER AND THE
   RESULT THEREOF IS TO INCREASE THE COST TO ANY CREDIT PARTY OF MAKING,
   RENEWING, CONVERTING OR MAINTAINING ITS EURODOLLAR ADVANCES OR ITS
   COMMITMENT TO MAKE SUCH EURODOLLAR ADVANCES, OR TO REDUCE ANY AMOUNT
   RECEIVABLE UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS IN RESPECT OF ITS EURODOLLAR ADVANCES,
   OR TO INCREASE THE COST TO ANY CREDIT PARTY OF ISSUING OR MAINTAINING THE
   LETTERS OF CREDIT OR

   UNDER THIS SECTION 3.6(a) ARISING MORE THAN 90 DAYS PRIOR TO RECEIPT BY THE
   BORROWER OF THE CERTIFICATE FROM THE AFFECTED CREDIT PARTY PURSUANT TO
   SECTION 3.6(e) WITH RESPECT TO SUCH COSTS.

   RELATING TO CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS HAS OR WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF REDUCING
   THE RATE OF RETURN ON SUCH CREDIT PARTY'S CAPITAL OR ON THE CAPITAL OF SUCH
   CREDIT PARTY'S HOLDING COMPANY, IF ANY, ON THE EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT TO A
   LEVEL BELOW THAT WHICH SUCH CREDIT PARTY (OR ITS HOLDING COMPANY) WOULD HAVE
   ACHIEVED OR WOULD THEREAFTER BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE BUT FOR SUCH CHANGE IN LAW
   (AFTER TAKING INTO ACCOUNT SUCH CREDIT PARTY'S (OR SUCH HOLDING COMPANY'S)
   POLICIES REGARDING CAPITAL ADEQUACY), THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO SUCH CREDIT
   PARTY (OR SUCH HOLDING COMPANY) SUCH ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OR AMOUNTS AS WILL
   COMPENSATE SUCH CREDIT PARTY (OR SUCH HOLDING COMPANY) FOR SUCH REDUCTION.

   Illegality. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION HEREOF, IF ANY LENDER SHALL
   REASONABLY DETERMINE THAT ANY LAW, REGULATION, TREATY OR DIRECTIVE, OR ANY
   CHANGE THEREIN OR IN THE INTERPRETATION OR APPLICATION THEREOF, SHALL MAKE
   IT UNLAWFUL FOR SUCH LENDER TO MAKE OR MAINTAIN ANY EURODOLLAR ADVANCE AS
   CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH LENDER SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY THE
   BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THEREOF, AND (i) THE COMMITMENT OF
   SUCH LENDER TO MAKE SUCH EURODOLLAR ADVANCES OR CONVERT ABR ADVANCES TO
   EURODOLLAR ADVANCES SHALL FORTHWITH BE SUSPENDED, (ii) SUCH LENDER SHALL
   FUND ITS PORTION OF EACH REQUESTED EURODOLLAR ADVANCE AS AN ABR ADVANCE AND

   NOTICE BY EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BORROWER, SUCH LENDER'S
   COMMITMENT TO MAKE OR MAINTAIN EURODOLLAR ADVANCES SHALL BE REINSTATED.

   Substituted Interest Rate. IN THE EVENT THAT (i) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
   SHALL HAVE DETERMINED (WHICH DETERMINATION SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING
   UPON THE BORROWER) THAT BY REASON OF CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING THE INTERBANK
   EURODOLLAR MARKET EITHER ADEQUATE AND REASONABLE MEANS DO NOT EXIST FOR
   ASCERTAINING THE EURODOLLAR RATE APPLICABLE PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.1 OR (ii)
   THE REQUIRED LENDERS SHALL HAVE NOTIFIED THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT THEY
   HAVE DETERMINED (WHICH DETERMINATION SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING ON THE
   BORROWER) THAT THE APPLICABLE EURODOLLAR RATE WILL NOT ADEQUATELY AND FAIRLY
   REFLECT THE COST TO SUCH LENDERS OF MAINTAINING OR FUNDING LOANS BEARING
   INTEREST BASED ON SUCH EURODOLLAR RATE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY PORTION OF THE
   REVOLVING LOANS THAT THE BORROWER HAS REQUESTED BE MADE AS EURODOLLAR
   ADVANCES OR EURODOLLAR ADVANCES THAT WILL RESULT FROM THE REQUESTED

   Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Credit
   Parties:

SECTION 4.1. ORGANIZATION AND POWER

                  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) is duly
   organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
   the jurisdiction of its organization or formation, except for International
   Travel & Resorts, Inc. which is not in good standing in the jurisdiction of

   its property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and (iii) is
   duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each other
   jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted therein or the

   where such failure to qualify or be in good standing, individually or in the
   aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
   effect. International Travel & Resorts, Inc. is in the process of preparing
   and filing its biennial report and will be restored to good standing
   promptly after the Second Restatement Date.

SECTION 4.2. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABILITY

                  Each transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents is within
   the corporate power of the Borrower and has been duly authorized by its
   Managing Person and, if required, by any other Person, including holders of
   its Capital Stock. Each Loan Document has been validly executed and
   delivered by each Loan Party thereto and constitutes a legal, valid and
   binding obligation of each such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with
   its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
   moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject
   to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a
   proceeding in equity or at law.

   Authority or any other Person, except such as have been obtained or made and
   are in full force and effect, (ii) will violate any applicable law, rule or
   regulation or the Organizational Documents of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
   or any order of any Governmental Authority, (iii) will violate or result in
   a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon
   the Borrower or any Subsidiary or their assets, or give rise to a right
   thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any
   Subsidiary, and (iv) will result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
   on any asset of the Borrower or any Subsidiary other than the Permitted
   Liens.

   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENT FAIRLY, IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS, THE FINANCIAL
   POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CASH FLOWS OF THE BORROWER AND
   CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES AS OF SUCH DATE AND FOR SUCH PERIOD IN ACCORDANCE
   WITH GAAP, SUBJECT TO YEAR-END AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS AND THE ABSENCE OF
   FOOTNOTES.

   FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSES. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND EACH SUBSIDIARY OWNS
   OR IS LICENSED TO USE ALL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATERIAL TO ITS BUSINESS,

   BE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT.

   SUBSIDIARY IS A PARTY WILL LAPSE, BE CANCELLED OR OTHERWISE TERMINATE, WHICH
   LAPSE, CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION, COULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO RESULT
   IN A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT.

SECTION 4.6. LITIGATION

                  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, there are no actions,
   suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental
   Authority (whether purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary)
   pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the
   Borrower or any Subsidiary, or maintained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary
   or which may affect the property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (i)
   that, in the good faith opinion of the Borrower, would reasonably be
   expected to have an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined,

SECTION 4.7. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

                  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 and except with respect
   to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
   reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse effect, neither the
   Borrower nor any Subsidiary has (i) received written notice or otherwise
   learned of any claim, demand, action, event, condition, report or
   investigation indicating or concerning any potential or actual liability
   which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to

   injunctions, notices or binding agreements issued, promulgated or entered
   into by any Governmental Authority, relating in any way to the environment,
   preservation or reclamation of natural resources, the management, release or
   threatened release of any Hazardous Substance (as defined below) or to

   any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is
   needed to respond to a release or threatened release of any Hazardous
   Substance into the environment for which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is
   or would be liable, which liability could reasonably be expected to result
   in a Material Adverse effect, or (iv) has received notice that any the
   Borrower or any Subsidiary is or may be liable to any Person under any
   Environmental Law, which liability could reasonably be expected to result in
   a Material Adverse effect. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary is in

   Laws to the

                                       40

   substance, material, waste or other pollutants, including petroleum or
   petroleum distillates, asbestos or asbestos containing materials,
   polychlorinated biphenyls, radon gas, infectious or medical wastes,

   applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other
   instruments binding upon it or its property, including any of the foregoing
   relating to the handling of customer deposits except where the failure to do
   so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
   result in a Material Adverse effect. No Default has occurred and is
   continuing.

SECTION 4.9. INVESTMENT COMPANIES AND OTHER REGULATED ENTITIES

                  None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary nor any Person
   controlled by, controlling, or under common control with, the Borrower or

   regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) a
   "holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public

   ITS IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES, IN THE BUSINESS OF EXTENDING CREDIT FOR THE
   PURPOSE OF PURCHASING OR CARRYING ANY MARGIN STOCK. AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO
   EACH TRANSACTION AND THE MAKING OF EACH EXTENSION OF CREDIT, MARGIN STOCK
   WILL CONSTITUTE LESS THAN 25% OF THE ASSETS (AS DETERMINED BY ANY REASONABLE
   METHOD) OF THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES.

   NO PART OF THE PROCEEDS OF ANY EXTENSION OF CREDIT WILL BE USED, WHETHER

   where applicable, in all material respects and no ERISA Event has occurred
   or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other
   such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could
   reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse effect. The present
   value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan (based
   on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting
   Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial
   statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $100,000 the fair
   market value of the assets of such Pension Plan, and the present value of
   all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based
   on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting
   Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial
   statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $100,000 the fair
   market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans.

   it except (i) Taxes being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
   and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside
   on its books adequate reserves, or (ii) to the extent that the failure to do
   so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse effect.

SECTION 4.13. SUBSIDIARIES

   AS OF THE SECOND RESTATEMENT DATE, (i) THE BORROWER HAS ONLY THE
   SUBSIDIARIES SET FORTH ON, AND THE AUTHORIZED, ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING
   CAPITAL STOCK OF THE BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES IS AS SET FORTH

   ARE DULY AUTHORIZED, VALIDLY ISSUED, FULLY PAID AND NONASSESSABLE AND ARE
   OWNED BENEFICIALLY AND OF RECORD BY THE PERSONS SET FORTH ON SUCH SCHEDULE
   4.13, FREE AND CLEAR OF ALL LIENS (OTHER THAN PERMITTED LIENS).

   BORROWER HAS NOT ISSUED ANY SECURITIES CONVERTIBLE INTO, OR OPTIONS OR
   WARRANTS FOR, ANY COMMON OR PREFERRED EQUITY SECURITIES THEREOF AND, EXCEPT
   AS SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE 4.13, THERE ARE NO AGREEMENTS, VOTING TRUSTS OR
   UNDERSTANDINGS BINDING UPON THE BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THE VOTING
   SECURITIES OF ANY SUBSIDIARY OR AFFECTING IN ANY MANNER THE SALE, PLEDGE,

   REFUSAL, OPTION, REDEMPTION, CALL OR OTHER RIGHT WITH RESPECT THERETO,
   WHETHER SIMILAR OR DISSIMILAR TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.

   FIRST REFUSAL, OPTION, REDEMPTION, CALL OR OTHER RIGHT WITH RESPECT THERETO,
   WHETHER SIMILAR OR DISSIMILAR TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.

                  No indenture, certificate of designation for preferred stock,
   agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party
   (other than this Agreement), prohibits or limits in any way, directly or
   indirectly the ability of any Subsidiary to make Restricted Payments or
   loans to, to make any advance on behalf of, or to repay any Indebtedness to,
   the Borrower or to another Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.15. LABOR RELATIONS

                  As of the Second Restatement Date, there are no material
   controversies pending that involve the Borrower or any Subsidiary which

   respect of such insurance that are due and payable have been paid.

                  The Borrower has disclosed to each Credit Party all
   agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or
   any Subsidiary is subject, and all other matters known to it, that,
   individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in
   a Material Adverse effect. No certificate or report from time to time
   furnished by any of the Loan Parties in connection with the Transactions
   contains or will contain a misstatement of material fact, or omits or will
   omit to state a material fact required to be stated in order to make the
   statements therein contained not misleading in the light of the
   circumstances under which made, provided that any projections or pro-forma
   financial information contained therein are based upon good faith estimates
   and assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made,
   it being recognized by the Credit Parties that such projections as to future
   events are not to be viewed as facts, and that actual results during the
   period or periods covered thereby may differ from the projected results.

   effect, that such agreement or agreements would be cancelled, not renewed or
   otherwise terminated as a result of the consummation of any of the
   Transactions.

SECTION 4.21. ACCOUNTS

                  Schedule 4.21 lists all accounts maintained by the Borrower

<PAGE>   59

   agreement contained in the Loan Documents and (ii) may exercise any and all

   at any time hereafter in force which might delay, prevent or otherwise impede
   the performance or enforcement of any Loan Document. IN THE EVENT THAT THE

   competent jurisdiction shall direct.

   ARTICLE 10.    THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 10.1.     APPOINTMENT

                  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the
   Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
   take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated
   to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions
   and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

SECTION 10.2.     INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY

                  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall
   have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other
   Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative
   Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
   money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any
   Subsidiary, or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the
   Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 10.3.     EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS

                  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
   obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the
   generality of the foregoing, (1) the Administrative Agent shall not be
   subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
   Default has occurred and is continuing, (2) the Administrative Agent shall
   not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
   discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
   contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in
   writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
   Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
   11.1), and (3) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent
   shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure
   to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary that
   is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or
   any of its

                                       59

<PAGE>   60

   Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for
   any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the
   Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
   be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.1) or in the
   absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative
   Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
   written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower
   or another Credit Party and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible
   for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty
   or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the
   contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
   in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
   covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the
   validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or
   any other agreements, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any
   condition set forth in Articles 5 or 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to
   confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
   Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.4.     RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

                  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and
   shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
   certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing
   believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper
   Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it
   orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person,
   and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative
   Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel to the Borrower),
   independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be
   liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice
   of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 10.5.     RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

                  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties
   and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
   appointed by the Administrative Agent, provided that no such delegation shall
   serve as a release of the Administrative Agent or waiver by the Borrower of
   any rights hereunder. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
   perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
   their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article
   10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
   Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
   respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
   facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.6.     RESIGNATION; SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

                  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
   Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 10.6, the Administrative
   Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon
   any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
   consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall
   have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
   appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
   notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
   behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall
   be a bank with an office in New York, New York, and having combined capital
   and surplus of at least $250,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon
   the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
   successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
   rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent,
   and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
   obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
   Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
   unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
   Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article
   and Section 11.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
   Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
   respect of any actions taken or permitted to be taken by any of them while it
   was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.7.     NON-RELIANCE ON OTHER CREDIT PARTIES

                  Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has, independently and
   without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party and
   based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
   its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
   Credit

                                       60

<PAGE>   61

   Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
   the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party and based on such
   documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
   continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or
   based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished
   hereunder or thereunder.

ARTICLE 11.       OTHER PROVISIONS

SECTION 11.1.     AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

   NO FAILURE TO EXERCISE AND NO DELAY IN EXERCISING, ON THE PART OF ANY CREDIT
   PARTY, ANY RIGHT, REMEDY, POWER OR PRIVILEGE UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL
   OPERATE AS A WAIVER THEREOF; NOR SHALL ANY SINGLE OR PARTIAL EXERCISE OF ANY
   RIGHT, REMEDY, POWER OR PRIVILEGE UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT PRECLUDE ANY OTHER
   OR FURTHER EXERCISE THEREOF OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT, REMEDY, POWER
   OR PRIVILEGE. THE RIGHTS, REMEDIES, POWERS AND PRIVILEGES UNDER THE LOAN
   DOCUMENTS ARE CUMULATIVE AND NOT EXCLUSIVE OF ANY RIGHTS, REMEDIES, POWERS
   AND PRIVILEGES PROVIDED BY LAW. NO WAIVER OF ANY PROVISION OF ANY LOAN
   DOCUMENT OR CONSENT TO ANY DEPARTURE BY ANY LOAN PARTY THEREFROM SHALL IN ANY
   EVENT BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS THE SAME SHALL BE PERMITTED BY THIS SECTION, AND
   THEN SUCH WAIVER OR CONSENT SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY IN THE SPECIFIC INSTANCE
   AND FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH GIVEN. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE
   FOREGOING, THE MAKING OF A LOAN SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF ANY
   DEFAULT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY CREDIT PARTY MAY HAVE HAD NOTICE OR
   KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH DEFAULT AT THE TIME.

   NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, WITH
   THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE
   APPROPRIATE PARTIES TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THE OTHER CREDIT
   PARTIES) MAY, FROM TIME TO TIME, ENTER INTO WRITTEN AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS
   OR MODIFICATIONS THEREOF AND, WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS, THE
   ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON BEHALF OF THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES, MAY EXECUTE AND
   DELIVER TO ANY SUCH PARTIES A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT WAIVING OR CONSENTING TO THE
   DEPARTURE FROM, ON SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY
   SPECIFY IN SUCH INSTRUMENT, ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR
   ANY DEFAULT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO SUCH AMENDMENT,
   SUPPLEMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR CONSENT SHALL:

    increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender, without such Lender's
   consent;

    unless agreed to by each Credit Party affected thereby, (A) reduce the
   principal amount of any

   Extension of Credit, or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any
   fees or other obligations payable under the Loan Documents, (b) extend any
   date (including the Maturity Date) fixed for the payment of any principal of
   or interest on any Extension of Credit, any fees, or any other obligation
   payable under the Loan Documents or (c) extend the expiration date of any
   Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date;

    unless agreed to by all of the Lenders, (A) increase the Aggregate Revolving
   Commitment, (B) change the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other
   provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to
   waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or
   grant any consent hereunder, (C) change Section 2.6 in a manner that would
   alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, (D) consent to any
   assignment or delegation by any Loan Party of any of its rights or
   obligations under any Loan Document, (E) release any Subsidiary Guarantor
   from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee (except as expressly
   provided therein or as a result of the termination of the existence of such
   Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Sections 8.3, 8.4 or 8.6),
   or (F) release any of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security
   Documents, except as may be expressly permitted thereunder or in connection
   with a transaction permitted by Sections 8.3, 8.4 or 8.6), and

    unless agreed to by the Administrative Agent or the Issuer, amend, modify or
   otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the
   Issuer, respectively, under the Loan Documents.

                  Any such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or
   consent shall apply equally to each Credit Party and shall be binding upon
   each Credit Party and each Loan Party to the applicable Loan Document, and
   upon all future holders of the Notes and the Reimbursement Obligations. In
   the case of any waiver, the Credit Parties and each Loan Party to the
   applicable Loan Document shall be restored to their former position and
   rights hereunder and under the outstanding Notes and other Loan Documents to
   the extent provided for in such waiver, and any Default waived shall not
   extend to any subsequent or other Default, or impair any right consequent
   thereon.

   PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, OR ANY

   BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, (v) ANY ACTION OR FAILURE TO ACT ON THE PART OF

   Liabilities"), PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNIFIED
   PERSON, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES,
   LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
   MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON.

   TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWER FAILS TO PAY ANY AMOUNT REQUIRED TO BE PAID
   BY IT TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES UNDER SUBSECTIONS
   (a) OR (b) OF THIS SECTION, EACH LENDER SEVERALLY AGREES, ON DEMAND THEREFOR,
   TO PAY TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SUCH LENDER'S REVOLVING PERCENTAGE OF SUCH
   AMOUNT (DETERMINED AS OF THE TIME THAT THE APPLICABLE UNREIMBURSED EXPENSE OR
   INDEMNIFIED LIABILITY IS SOUGHT).

   OR AS A RESULT OF, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY
   OR ANY EXTENSION OF CREDIT OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF.

SECTION 11.5.     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

   THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE BINDING UPON AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF
   THE PARTIES THERETO, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, EXCEPT THAT
   NO LOAN PARTY MAY ASSIGN OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR
   OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF EACH CREDIT PARTY
   (AND ANY SUCH ATTEMPTED ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER WITHOUT SUCH CONSENT SHALL BE
   NULL AND VOID). EACH LENDER MAY ASSIGN ALL OR A PORTION OF ITS RIGHTS AND
   OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS TO (i) ANY SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATE OF
   SUCH LENDER, (ii) ANY OTHER LENDER, OR (iii) WITH THE CONSENT OF THE
   BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUER (WHICH CONSENTS SHALL NOT BE
   UNREASONABLY WITHHELD OR DELAYED AND, IN THE CASE OF THE BORROWER'S CONSENT,
   SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT), ANY
   OTHER INSTITUTION, PROVIDED THAT:

   EACH SUCH ASSIGNMENT SHALL BE OF A CONSTANT, AND NOT A VARYING, PERCENTAGE OF
   THE ASSIGNOR LENDER'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS; EXCEPT
   IN THE CASE OF AN ASSIGNMENT TO A LENDER OR AN AFFILIATE OF A LENDER OR AN
   ASSIGNMENT OF THE ENTIRE REMAINING AMOUNT OF THE ASSIGNING LENDER'S REVOLVING
   COMMITMENT, THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF THE REVOLVING COMMITMENT OF THE ASSIGNING
   LENDER SUBJECT TO EACH SUCH ASSIGNMENT (DETERMINED AS OF THE DATE THE
   ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ASSIGNMENT IS
   DELIVERED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN $5,000,000; AND

   THE ASSIGNOR AND SUCH ASSIGNEE SHALL DELIVER TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
   THREE COPIES OF AN ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY EACH OF
   THEM, ALONG WITH AN ASSIGNMENT FEE IN THE SUM OF $3,500 FOR THE ACCOUNT OF
   THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND, IF THE ASSIGNEE IS NOT THEN A LENDER, SUCH
   ASSIGNEE SHALL DESIGNATE ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AND SHALL DELIVER TO THE
   ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND, IF SUCH ASSIGNEE IS A FOREIGN CREDIT PARTY, THE
   DOCUMENTS REQUIRED BY SECTION 3.7(c).

   Upon receipt of such number of executed copies of each such Assignment and
   Acceptance Agreement together with the assignment fee therefor and the
   consents required to such assignment, if required, the Administrative Agent
   shall record the same and execute not less than two copies of such Assignment
   and Acceptance Agreement in the appropriate place, deliver one such copy to
   the assignor and one such copy to the assignee, and deliver one photocopy
   thereof, as executed, to the Borrower. From and after the Assignment
   Effective Date specified in, and as defined in, such Assignment and
   Acceptance Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall, unless already a Lender,
   become a party hereto and shall, for all purposes of the Loan Documents, be
   deemed a "Lender" and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and
   Acceptance Agreement, the assignor Lender thereunder shall be released from
   its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The
   Borrower agrees that, if requested, in connection with each such assignment,
   it shall at its own cost and expense execute and deliver to the
   Administrative Agent or such assignee a Note, each payable to the order of
   such assignee and dated the Second Restatement Date.

                                       63

<PAGE>   64

   The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the representations
   and warranties made by the assignee under each Assignment and Acceptance
   Agreement.

   EACH LENDER MAY GRANT PARTICIPATIONS IN ALL OR ANY PART OF ITS RIGHTS AND
   OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS TO (i) ANY SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATE OF
   SUCH LENDER, (ii) ANY OTHER LENDER, OR (iii) ANY OTHER INSTITUTION
   REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATION AGENT, PROVIDED THAT (A) SUCH
   LENDER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL
   REMAIN UNCHANGED, (B) SUCH LENDER SHALL REMAIN SOLELY RESPONSIBLE TO THE
   OTHER PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS FOR THE
   PERFORMANCE OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS, (C) THE BORROWER AND THE CREDIT PARTIES
   SHALL CONTINUE TO DEAL SOLELY AND DIRECTLY WITH SUCH LENDER IN CONNECTION
   WITH SUCH LENDER'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (D) THE
   GRANTING OF SUCH PARTICIPATION DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT ANY ADDITIONAL LOSS,
   COST OR EXPENSE BE BORNE BY THE BORROWER AT ANY TIME, AND (E) THE VOTING
   RIGHTS OF ANY HOLDER OF ANY PARTICIPATION SHALL BE LIMITED TO DECISIONS THAT
   IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.1 REQUIRE THE CONSENT OF ALL OF THE LENDERS.

   SUBJECT TO SUBSECTION (e) BELOW, ANY LENDER MAY AT ANY TIME ASSIGN ALL OR
   ANY PORTION OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT TO ANY FEDERAL RESERVE
   BANK.

   EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF ANY ASSIGNMENT PURSUANT TO SUBSECTION (b) ABOVE, NO
   LENDER SHALL BE RELIEVED OF ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
   AS A RESULT OF ANY ASSIGNMENT OF OR GRANTING OF PARTICIPATIONS IN, ALL OR
   ANY PART OF ITS RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 11.6.     COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION

                  Each Loan Document (other than the Notes) may be executed by
   one or more of the parties thereto on any number of separate counterparts
   and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute
   one and the same document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of any
   Loan Document to produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by
   the party to be charged. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
   page of any Loan Document by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a
   manually executed counterpart of such Loan Document. The Loan Documents and
   any separate letter agreements between the Borrower and a Credit Party with
   respect to fees embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Loan
   Parties and the Credit Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof
   and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Loan Parties
   and the Credit Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof.

SECTION 11.7.     SEVERABILITY

                  Every provision of the Loan Documents is intended to be
   severable, and if any term or provision thereof shall be invalid, illegal or
   unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of
   the remaining provisions thereof shall not be affected or impaired thereby,
   and any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
   not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any such term or
   provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.8.     GOVERNING LAW

                  THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
   PARTIES THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN
   ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 11.9.     JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS

                  Each party to a Loan Document hereby irrevocably submits to
   the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting
   in the City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
   or relating to the Loan Documents. Each party to a Loan Document hereby
   irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted or not prohibited by
   law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the
   venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any
   claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has
   been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that a
   final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a
   court, after all appropriate appeals, shall be conclusive and binding upon
   it and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in
   any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
   right that a Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any action or
   proceeding relating to Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties
   in the courts of any jurisdiction. Each party to a Loan Document hereby
   irrevocably consents to service of process in the

                                       64

<PAGE>   65

   manner provided for notices in Section 11.2. Nothing in this Agreement will
   affect the right of any party to a Loan Document to serve process in any
   other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 11.10.    WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY

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

SECTION 11.11.    SAVINGS CLAUSE

    This Agreement is intended solely as an amendment of, and contemporaneous
   restatement of, the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement,
   and the Notes delivered pursuant hereto are intended to amend, restate and
   renew the notes issued under the Existing Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding
   anything contained herein to the contrary, it is the intention of the
   parties hereto that this Agreement and the Commitments and Extensions of
   Credit provided hereunder represent a supplement to, but not a novation or
   discharge of, the credit facilities provided by the Existing Credit
   Agreement; and the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Credit
   Party that, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this
   Agreement, the security interests created by the Security Documents continue
   to constitute valid, perfected and first priority security interests
   (subject only to Permitted Liens) securing all obligations purported to be
   secured thereby, and each of the Security Documents and the security
   interests provided therein continue in full force and effect. Nothing in
   this Agreement is intended to affect the right of the Lenders to payment of
   amounts due under the Existing Credit Agreement for the period prior to the
   Second Restatement Date and such right shall be determined under the
   provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement.
