Green Capital
3475 Piedmont Road N.E.
Atlanta, Georgia  30305

Dear Holcombe,

         On November 29, 2001, HTG Corp. and WestPoint Stevens Inc. entered into
the attached letter agreement (the "Agreement") concerning the restoration of
HTG Corp.'s negative balance in its capital account in HTG Falcon LLC. The
seventh paragraph provides that the HTG Corp. account balance may be restored by
Holcombe T. Green surrendering to WestPoint Stevens any vested amounts contained
in any retirement plans or accounts.

         This letter is to confirm the intention of the parties that this
surrender right applied only to the WPS Supplement Retirement Plan and any
similar non-tax qualified retirement plans and not to the WPS Retirement Plan
and further that the surrender right may be exercised only on installment
payment due dates as set forth in the Agreement. Further, the parties
acknowledge that any exercise of such surrender right must be further approved
by the WestPoint Stevens Board of Directors, which approval may be withheld by
the Board at its sole discretion.

         To indicate your acceptance of this clarification of the agreement,
please sign below.

                                                      Sincerely yours,

                                                      /s/ Lester D. Sears
                                                      -------------------

Agreed and Acknowledged

shall govern.

         2.3 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the General Administrative

the Revolving Credit Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof
until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set

         (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender

amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable
from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum
received by the General Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and

revolving borrowing and repayment and for settlement among the Lenders
contemplated by subsections 2.5, 4.3(g) and (h) and 4.9(e) and (f) are in
effect, such procedures shall govern.

         (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender
maintained pursuant to Section 2.3(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower; provided, however,
that the failure of any Lender or the General Administrative Agent to maintain
the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to repay (with
applicable interest) the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

         (e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the General
Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to

Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days'
irrevocable written notice to the General Administrative Agent of its intention
to do so, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time,
to reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments without premium or
penalty; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit
Commitments under either Facility shall be permitted if, after giving effect
thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the
effective date thereof, the outstanding

                                                                              24

Extensions of Credit under such Facility would exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitments under such Facility then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in
an amount equal to $5,000,000, or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess
thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments under the
relevant Facility then in effect.

         2.5 Funding Mechanisms During Borrower Notification Period.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in order to reduce
the number of fund transfers among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Collateral
Agent, during the Borrower Notification Period, the Collateral Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to), without any requirement of notice, fund, on behalf
of all Lenders, Loans pursuant to Section 2.1, subject to the procedures for
settlement set forth in subsection 4.9(e) and (f); provided, however, that (a)
the Collateral Agent shall in no event fund any such Loan if it shall have
received written notice from the Required Lenders at least one Business Day
before the proposed Borrowing Date that one or more of the conditions precedent
specified in Section 6.2 will not be satisfied as of the Borrowing Date and (b)
the Collateral Agent shall otherwise not be required to determine that, or take
notice whether, any such conditions precedent have been satisfied.

                          SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

         3.1 L/C Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Tranche A L/C Lenders
set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the "Tranche A
Letters of Credit") for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during
the Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the
Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to
provide any Tranche A Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the
aggregate amount of the Tranche A L/C Obligations then outstanding would exceed
$75,000,000; (ii) the aggregate Extensions of Credit of all of the Tranche A
Lenders would exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate Tranche A Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect or (y) the Borrowing Base then in effect and
provided, further, that up to $44,500,000 of Tranche A Letters of Credit shall
be available solely to provide additional financial assurance as required for
compliance with Environmental Law with respect to those facilities identified in
Attachment K to the Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) Between Certain
Debtors and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as Amended on May
16, 2001 and for additional financial assurance as required for shoring up
existing Indian Harbor policies (collectively referred to herein as
"Environmental Letters of Credit"). Each Tranche A Letter of Credit shall (i) be
denominated in U.S. Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the date which is 60
days after the Maturity Date, provided, however, that Environmental Letters of
Credit shall expire no later than the date which is 190 days after the Maturity
Date. On the Closing Date, letters of credit issued under the Existing DIP
Credit Agreement and then outstanding shall constitute Tranche A Letters of
Credit.

         (b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in
reliance on the agreements of the Tranche B L/C Lenders set forth in Section
3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the "Tranche B Letters of Credit")
for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Commitment Period
in such form as may be approved from time to time by the
<PAGE>

Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to
provide any Tranche B Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the
aggregate amount of the Tranche B L/C Obligations then outstanding would exceed
the Tranche B Letters of Credit Sublimit, or (ii) the aggregate Extensions of
Credit of all of the Tranche B Lenders would exceed the aggregate Tranche B
Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect; provided further, that up to
$40,000,000 of Tranche B Letters of Credit shall be available for the same
purpose as the Environmental Letters of Credit or to replace such Environmental
Letters of Credit, including the replacement of existing cash collateral pledged
to support financial assurance with respect to the Schedule "B" Sites and Yellow
Schedule "C" Sites ("Tranche B Environmental Letters of Credit"). Each Tranche B
Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in U.S. Dollars and (ii) expire no
later than the date which is 60 days after the Maturity Date, provided, however,
that Tranche B Environmental Letters of Credit shall expire no later than the
date which is 190 days after the Maturity Date.

         3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from
time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by
delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an
Application therefor specifying the purpose therefor, completed to the
satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, the certificate of a Responsible Officer of
the Borrower and such other certificates, documents and other papers and
information as the Issuing Lender may request, with a copy to the General
Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender agrees
to process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and
information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its
customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested
thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any
Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the
Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers
and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of
Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such
Issuing Lender and the Borrower, provided, (a) that no Tranche A Letter of
Credit to provide financial assurance of reclamation, clean up or other similar
changes shall be issued unless and until the General Administrative Agent shall
have reasonably determined that such additional financial assurance is required
in the amount and at the time requested and that the Loan Party that owns the
site or operation in respect of which such assurance is requested is likely to
fully perform the obligations supported by such Letter of Credit and (b) that no
Tranche B Letter of Credit for increased financial assurances shall be issued
unless and until the General Administrative Agent shall have reasonably
determined that such additional financial assurance is required in the amount
and at the time requested. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of each
Letter of Credit by it hereunder to the Borrower promptly following the issuance
thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the General Administrative
Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the L/C Lenders, notice of the
issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

         3.3 Commissions, Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower shall pay to
the General Administrative Agent, for the account of the Tranche A L/C Lenders,
a letter of credit commission with respect to each Tranche A Letter of Credit
outstanding under this Agreement for the period from the Issuance Date of such
Tranche A Letter of Credit to the expiration or termination of such Tranche A
Letter of Credit, computed at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin
then in effect with respect to LIBOR Loans under the Tranche A Revolving

<PAGE>
                                                                              26

Facility on the average aggregate amount available to be drawn under such
Tranche A Letter of Credit during the period for which such fee is calculated.
Such commission shall be shared ratably among the Tranche A L/C Lenders and
payable in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date to occur after the respective
Issuance Date and on the Termination Date and shall be nonrefundable.

         (b) The Borrower shall pay to the General Administrative Agent, for the
account of each of the Tranche B L/C Lenders, (a) a letter of credit commission
with respect to each Tranche B Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement
for the period from the Issuance Date of such Tranche B Letter of Credit to the
expiration or termination of such Tranche B Letter of Credit, computed at a per
annum rate of 12% on the average aggregate amount available to be drawn under
such Tranche B Letter of Credit during the period for which such fee is
calculated and (b) a 2.5% per annum fee on the average daily unused portion of
the Tranche B Letters of Credit Sublimit. Such commissions or fees shall be
shared ratably among the Tranche B L/C Lenders and payable in arrears on each
L/C Fee Payment Date to occur after the respective Issuance Date and shall be
nonrefundable.

         (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender with respect to each
Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender under this Agreement, for its own
account, a fronting fee with respect to the period from the Issuance Date of
such Letter of Credit to the expiration or termination date of such Letter of
Credit, computed at a rate of 1/4 of 1% per annum on the average aggregate
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit during the period for
which such fee is calculated. Such fronting fee shall be payable in arrears on
each L/C Fee Payment Date to occur after the Issuance Date and on the
Termination Date and shall be nonrefundable.

         (d) In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrower
shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs
and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing,
negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any
Letter of Credit.

         3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Effective on the Issuance Date in respect
of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and
hereby grants to each L/C Lender (other than such Issuing Lender), and, to
induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Lender
irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from
the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C
Lender's own account an undivided interest equal to such L/C Lender's Tranche A
Revolving Credit Percentage (with respect to Tranche A Letters of Credit) or
Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentage (with respect to Tranche B Letters of
Credit) of the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under each Letter of
Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender
thereunder. Each L/C Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the
Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the
Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, such L/C Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon
demand at the Issuing Lender's address for notices specified herein an amount
equal to such L/C Lender's Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentage (with respect
to Tranche A Letters of Credit) or Tranche B
<PAGE>
                                                                              27

Revolving Credit Percentage (with respect to Tranche B Letters of Credit) of the
amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

         (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Lender to the Issuing
Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any
payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by the
Issuing Lender is not paid when due but is paid within three Business Days after
the date such payment is due, the L/C Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender on
demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily
average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the
date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which
is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of
which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Lender pursuant
to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Lender
within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing
Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Lender, on demand, such amount
with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum
applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility. A certificate of the
Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Lender with respect to any amounts owing
under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

         (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment
under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender and has received from
any L/C Lender its Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentage (with respect to
Tranche A Letters of Credit) or Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentage (with
respect to Tranche B Letters of Credit) of such payment in accordance with
Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter
of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds
of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender, but excluding payments from
L/C Lenders), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender
will distribute to such L/C Lender its Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentage
(with respect to Tranche A Letters of Credit) or Tranche B Revolving Credit
Percentage (with respect to Tranche B Letters of Credit) thereof; provided,
however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender
shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Lender shall
return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the
Issuing Lender to it.

         3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft shall be
presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender,
the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount
thereof. If the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower prior to 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on any Business Day, of any drawing under any Letter of Credit
issued by it, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender with respect to
such drawing on the next succeeding Business Day. If the Issuing Lender notifies
the Borrower after 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it, the Borrower shall reimburse
the Issuing Lender with respect to such drawing on the second succeeding
Business Day. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts drawn under
Letters of Credit from the date of such drawing until the date on which
reimbursement of such amount is due pursuant to the two immediately preceding
sentences at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans. In addition,
the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any taxes, fees, charges
or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with any
payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender. Each

<PAGE>
                                                                              28

payment by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be made to the
Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in U.S. Dollars and
in immediately available funds.

         3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations under this Section
3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing
Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among
other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements
thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid,
fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender
shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in
transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or
omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the
Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related
drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and
shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

         3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for
payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, the Issuing
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The
responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any
draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any
payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited
to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such
Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in
conformity with such Letter of Credit.

         3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application
related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this
Section 3 or any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this
Section 3 or such other provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

time during the Commitment Period, the sum of the aggregate outstanding Loans
and L/C Obligations under the Tranche A Revolving Facility exceeds the lesser of
(i) the Borrowing Base then in effect or (ii) the aggregate Tranche A Revolving

the Guarantors of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale (including the 3E

         (f) The General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower
Notification Period, the Collateral Agent shall be, and hereby is, irrevocably
authorized, to debit the Concentration Account for the Tranche A Lenders and/or
Tranche B Lenders, as applicable, in the amount of any prepayment that becomes
due.

         (g) At any time, the Underwriters jointly may deliver to the Borrower a

maintain, at its expense, its existing bank accounts as Blocked Accounts, (B)
deposit, and cause its account debtors to remit, all payments on Accounts and
all other Proceeds of Collateral into such Blocked Accounts in the identical
form in which such payments are received, whether by cash, check or other manner
and (C) during the Borrower Notification Period, transfer, or cause to be
transferred, at its own expense, on a daily basis, by wire transfer or other
immediately effective means, all available funds in the Concentration Account to
the Payment Account. During the Borrower Notification Period, the Collateral
Agent shall apply on a daily basis all amounts in the Payment Account or
otherwise received from the Borrower to cover any overdraft position on the cash
management and deposit accounts of the Borrower maintained at Bank One, NA and
then may apply such amounts to the Obligations in such order as the Collateral
Agent may determine, and may charge all principal, interest, fees, costs,
expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents directly to the Payment Account or Disbursement Account in such order
and manner as it may determine.

         (i) At any time the L/C Obligations supporting the Blue Business are no
longer outstanding, the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced

occurs prior to the release of the Tranche B Letters of Credit, the Borrower
shall be required to cash collateralize such Tranche B Letters of Credit in an
amount equal to 105% of the lesser of (i) $17,000,000 and (ii) the amount of
Tranche B Letters of Credit still outstanding which support the Blue Business;
provided, further, that upon the release of all Tranche B Letters of Credit
supporting the Blue Business, the Collateral Agent shall retain only that
portion of such cash collateral which constitutes Blue Business Net Proceeds and
shall return the remaining cash collateral to the Borrower.

         (j) In the event Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount of less than
$15,000,000 are used to support the Borrower's fiscal year 2003 property and
casualty insurance, automobile insurance, general insurance and workman's
compensation program and such other uses as the General Administrative Agent and
the holders of 50.1% of Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments may allow, the
Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
$15,000,000 less the amount of Letters of Credit used to support the Borrower's
fiscal year 2003 property and casualty insurance, automobile insurance, general
insurance and workman's compensation program and such other uses.

         4.4 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect
from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans under the Tranche A
Revolving Facility, by giving the General Administrative Agent and, during the
Borrower Notification Period, the Collateral Agent at least two Business Days'
prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that any such conversion of
LIBOR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect
thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to
LIBOR Loans under the Tranche A Revolving Facility by giving the General
Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower Notification Period, the
Collateral Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such
election. Any such notice of conversion to LIBOR Loans shall specify the length
of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any
such notice the General Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected
Lender thereof unless the provisions of subsections 2.5, 4.3(g) and (h) and
4.9(e) and (f) are in effect, in which case such provisions shall govern. All or
any part of outstanding LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans under the Tranche A
Revolving Facility may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no
Base Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the General Administrative Agent and, during the
Borrower Notification Period, the Collateral Agent has determined in its sole
discretion that such a conversion is not appropriate and (ii) no Loan may be
converted into a LIBOR Loan after the date that is one month prior to the
Termination Date.

         (b) Any LIBOR Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the
then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice
to the General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower Notification
Period, the Collateral Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next
Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no LIBOR Loan may
be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the General Administrative Agent and, during the Borrower
Notification Period, the Collateral Agent has determined in its sole discretion
that such a continuation is not appropriate or (ii) after the date that is one
month prior to the Termination Date and provided, further, that if the Borrower
shall fail to give such notice or if such continuation is not permitted such
Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of
such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the General
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof unless the
provisions of subsections 2.5, 4.3(g) and (h) and 4.9(e) and (f) are in effect,
in which case such provisions shall govern.

         (c) All Tranche B Revolving Credit Loans shall be Base Rate Loans.

         4.5 Minimum Amounts of Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of
LIBOR Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be
in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the LIBOR Loans comprising
each Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof.

         4.6 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate
per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable
Margin.
<PAGE>
                                                                              33

         (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at no time
shall the interest rate applicable to Tranche B Revolving Credit Loans be less
than 12% per annum.

         (c) In addition to the interest payable in respect of Tranche B
Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 4.6(b), each Tranche B Revolving
Credit Loan shall also bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 3.00% ("PIK
Interest Rate"); provided, that if the Termination Date does not occur prior to
September 1, 2002, the PIK Interest Rate shall increase by 1.00% per annum
monthly, on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on September 1,
2002. The amount of interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be
calculated monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, and such accrued
amount shall be added to the principal amount of the Tranche B Revolving Credit
Loans on each such last day; provided, however, that amounts added to principal
pursuant to this Section 4.6(c) shall not (i) be included in determining Tranche
B Available Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) bear cash interest pursuant to
Section 4.6(b) but shall bear interest at the PIK Interest Rate pursuant to this
Section 4.6(c).

         (d) If all or a portion of (i) any principal of any Loan, (ii) any
interest payable thereon, (iii) any commitment fee, (iv) any Reimbursement
Obligation or (v) any Letter of Credit fee or commission or other amount payable
hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), the principal of the Loans, the Reimbursement
Obligations and any such overdue interest, fee or other amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum which is the rate that would otherwise be
applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection plus
3%.

         (e) Interest, fees and expenses payable to the Tranche B Lenders
hereunder shall be paid out of the Interest Escrow Account. Interest, fees and
expenses payable to the Tranche A Lenders hereunder shall be paid out of the
Interest Escrow Account to the extent that the amount in the Interest Escrow
Account exceeds the lesser of (a) $5,000,000 and (b) the amount of fees and
interest projected to be paid to the Tranche B Lenders until the Termination
Date.

         (f) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date,
provided that (i) interest payable pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 4.6
shall be payable on the Termination Date and (ii) interest accruing pursuant to
paragraph (d) of this Section 4.6 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

         4.7 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Whenever it is calculated on
the basis of the Base Rate, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-
(or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed; and whenever
it is calculated on the basis of the LIBOR Rate, interest shall be calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The General
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate. Any change in the interest rate
on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve
Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on
which such change becomes effective. The General Administrative Agent shall as
soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date
and the amount of each such change in the Base Rate.

                                                                              34

                  (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the General
         Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to any provision of
         this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the
         Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

                  (c) For purposes of calculating interest on the Loans, funds
         received in the Payment Account shall be applied (conditional upon
         final collection) when the Collateral Agent is advised by the bank
         where the Payment Account is maintained of its receipt of "collected
         funds" if such advice is received before 1:00 p.m., New York City time,
         on the date of receipt and otherwise on the next Business Day. For
         purposes of calculating the aggregate Tranche A Available Revolving
         Credit Commitments or the Tranche B Available Revolving Credit
         Commitments, as applicable,, funds received in the Payment Account will
         be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Loans on the
         Business Day of receipt when the Collateral Agent is advised by the
         bank where the Payment Account is maintained of its receipt of
         "collected funds" if such advice is received before 1:00 p.m., New York
         City time, on such date and otherwise on the next Business Day.

         4.8 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of
any Interest Period:

         (a) the General Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason
of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or

         (b) the General Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
(as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their
affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the General Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice
thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable
thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on
the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any
Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period
to LIBOR Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding
LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to
Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the General
Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such,
nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to LIBOR Loans.

         4.9 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as provided in
subsection 2.5: (i) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Tranche A Lenders
under the Tranche A Revolving Facility shall be made pro rata according to their
respective Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentages, (ii) each payment by the
Borrower on account of any commitment fee, facility fee and letter of credit
commission applicable to the Tranche A Revolving Facility and any reduction of
the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made pro rata according to
their respective Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentages, (iii) each borrowing by
the Borrower from the Tranche B Lenders under the Tranche B Revolving Facility
shall be made pro rata according
<PAGE>
                                                                              35

to their respective Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentages and (iv) each payment
by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee, facility fee and letter of
credit commission applicable to the Tranche B Revolving Facility and any
reduction of the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made pro rata
according to their respective Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentages.

         (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of
and interest on the Tranche A Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche A
Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Tranche A Lenders and (ii) each payment
(including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the
Tranche B Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the
respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche B Revolving Credit Loans
then held by the Tranche B Lenders.

         (c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower
hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be
made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New
York City time, on the due date thereof to the General Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Lenders, at the General Administrative Agent's office
specified in Section 11.2 (unless the provisions of subsections 4.3(g) and (h)
are in effect, in which case such provisions shall govern) in Dollars and in
immediately available funds. The General Administrative Agent shall distribute
such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received
(unless the provisions of subsections 2.5, 4.3(g) and (h) and 4.9(e) and (f) are
in effect, in which case such provisions shall govern). If any payment by the
Borrower hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans) becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a LIBOR Loan becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension
would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of
any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two
sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during
such extension.

         (d) Unless the General Administrative Agent shall have been notified in
writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make
available to the General Administrative Agent the amount that would constitute
its share of the Loans to be disbursed to the Borrower on the such Borrowing
Date, the General Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making
such amount available to the General Administrative Agent, and the General
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the
General Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date
therefor, such Lender shall pay to the General Administrative Agent, on demand,
such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal
Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount
immediately available to the General Administrative Agent. A certificate of the
General Administrative Agent, submitted to any Lender with respect to any
amounts owing under this Section 4.9(d) shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. If such Lender's share of such amount is not made available to
the General Administrative Agent by such Lender
<PAGE>
                                                                              36

within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the General Administrative
Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount from the Borrower on demand
with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under
the relevant Facility. At any time that the provisions in subsections 2.5(e) and
4.9(e) and (f) are in effect, references in this paragraph to the General
Administrative Agent shall be deemed references to the Collateral Agent.

         (e) With respect to each Interest Settlement Period, on the last
Business Day of such Interest Settlement Period, the Collateral Agent shall
notify each Lender of the average daily unpaid principal amount of Loans that
are the subject of such Interest Settlement Period. In the event that such
amount is greater than the average daily unpaid principal amount of such Loans
outstanding during the immediately preceding Interest Settlement Period for such
Loans (or if such Interest Settlement Period is the initial Interest Settlement
Period for such Loans, greater than the principal amount of such Loans on the
Business Day prior to the Borrower Notification Date), each Lender shall
promptly pay to the Collateral Agent its Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentage
or Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentage, as applicable, of such difference,
together with interest on the amount of such difference at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate for such Interest Settlement Period. In the event that such
amount is less than the average daily unpaid principal amount of such Loans
during the immediately preceding Interest Settlement Period (or if such Interest
Settlement Period is the initial Interest Settlement Period for such Loans, less
than the principal amount of Loans on the Business Day prior to the Borrower
Notification Date), the Collateral Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender its
Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentage or Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentage,
as applicable, of such difference, together with interest on the amount of such
difference at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such Interest Settlement
Period. The obligations of each Lender under this subsection 4.9(e) shall be
absolute and unconditional without defense, setoff or counterclaim. Each Lender
shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Tranche A Revolving Credit
Percentage or Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentage, as applicable, of the Loans
that have been funded by such Lender.

         (f) With respect to each Principal Settlement Period, on the last day
of such Principal Settlement Period, the Collateral Agent shall notify each
Lender of the principal amount of Loans outstanding at the end of such Principal
Settlement Period. In the event that such amount is greater than the principal
amount of Loans outstanding at the end of the immediately preceding Principal
Settlement Period (or if such Principal Settlement Period is the initial
Principal Settlement Period, greater than the principal amount of Loans on the
Business Day prior to the Borrower Notification Date), each Lender shall
promptly pay to the Collateral Agent its Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentage
or Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentage, as applicable, of such difference. In
the event that such amount is less than the principal amount of Loans
outstanding at the end of the immediately preceding Principal Settlement Period
(or if such Principal Settlement Period is the initial Principal Settlement
Period, less than the principal amount of Loans on the Business Day prior to the
Borrower Notification Date), the Collateral Agent shall promptly pay to each
Lender its Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentage or Tranche B Revolving Credit
Percentage, as applicable, of such difference. In addition, if the General
Administrative Agent shall request at any time when a Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, or any other event shall have occurred
as a result of which the General Administrative Agent shall have determined that
it is desirable for the Lenders to present their claims against the Borrower for
repayment, each Lender shall promptly remit to the Collateral

                                                                              37

Agent or, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent shall promptly remit to each
Lender sufficient funds to adjust the interests of each Lender in the then
outstanding Loans such that each Lender's interest in the Loans then outstanding
is equal to its Tranche A Revolving Credit Percentage or Tranche B Revolving
Credit Percentage, as applicable, thereof. The obligations of each Lender under
this subsection 4.9 shall be absolute and unconditional without defense, setoff
or counterclaim.

         4.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) the commitment of such Lender
hereunder to make LIBOR Loans, continue LIBOR Loans as such and convert Base
Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (ii) such Lender's
Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically
to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest
Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by
law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the
last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to
Section 4.13.

         4.11 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance
by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law, but with which similarly-situated entities generally comply) from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

                  (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever
         with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Loan
         made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender
         in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section
         4.12 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such
         Lender);

                  (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
         special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets
         held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
         advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other
         acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not
         otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate; or

                  (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition, the
         cost of which is not otherwise included in the determination of the
         LIBOR Rate;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender,
by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of
Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then,
in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such
increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
<PAGE>
                                                                              38

         (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law, but with which
similarly-situated entities generally comply) from any Governmental Authority
made subsequent to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto shall have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's
capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such
corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender on an after-tax basis for such reduction.

         (c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to
the General Administrative Agent of the event by reason of which it has become
so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the General
Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the
payment of the Loans, and all other amounts payable hereunder.

         4.12 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement
and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now
or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed
in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the General Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection
between the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or such Lender and
the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any
such connection arising solely from the General Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be
withheld from any amounts payable to the General Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent, or any Lender hereunder or under any Note, the amounts so
payable to the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or such Lender
shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the General
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the
rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any
Lender if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of
this Section. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as
promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the General
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent for its own account or for the account
of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official
receipt or other documentary evidence received by such Borrower showing payment
thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to
<PAGE>
                                                                              39

remit to the applicable Administrative Agent the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the General
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders for any incremental
Non-Excluded Taxes or interest or penalties thereon that may become payable by
the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender as a result of
any such failure. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the
termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Loans, and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

         (b) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America or a state thereof shall:

                  (i) in the case of a Lender other than a Lender described in
         subsection 4.12(b)(ii);

                  (A) deliver to the Borrower and the General Administrative
         Agent (A) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
         Service Form 1001 or 4224, or successor applicable form, as the case
         may be, and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, or
         successor applicable form, as the case may be;

                  (B) deliver to the Borrower and the General Administrative
         Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before
         the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes
         obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
         the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and

                  (C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete
         such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the
         Borrower or the General Administrative Agent; and

                  (D) file amendments to such forms as and when required; and

                  (ii) in the case of a Lender that is not a "bank" under
         Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and that is legally unable to comply
         with the requirements of subsection 4.12(b)(i);

                  (A) at least five Business Days before the date of the initial
         payment to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement to such Lender,
         deliver to the Borrower and the General Administrative Agent (I) a
         statement that such Lender (x) is not a "bank" under Section
         881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal
         requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as
         a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or
         submission made to any Governmental Authority, any application made to
         a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from tax, securities
         law or other legal requirements, (y) is not a 10-percent shareholder
         within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and (z) is not a
         controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person
         within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (II) a
         properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8
         or applicable successor form; and
<PAGE>
                                                                              40

                  (B) deliver to the Borrower and the General Administrative
         Agent two further properly completed and duly executed copies of said
         Form W-8, or any successor applicable form at least five Business Days
         on or before the date that any such Form W-8 expires or becomes
         obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
         most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower or upon the
         request of the Borrower or the General Administrative Agent; and

                  (C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing
         such forms or certifications as may be reasonably requested by the
         Borrower and the General Administrative Agent; and

                  (D) file amendments to such forms as and when required;

unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such
form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the General
Administrative Agent. Such Lender shall certify (i) in the case of a Form 1001
or 4224, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (ii) in
the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from United
States backup withholding tax. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a
Participant pursuant to Section 11.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the
related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements
required pursuant to this subsection, provided that in the case of a Participant
such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the
Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

         4.13 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to
hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain
or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing
of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given
a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after such
Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not
the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification
may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted
or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure
to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that
would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable
rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the
Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on
such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

         4.14 Change of Lending Office; Replacement Lender. Each Lender agrees
that if it makes any demand for payment under Section 4.11 or 4.12(a), or if any
adoption or change of the type described in Section 4.10 shall occur with
respect to it, (i) it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal
policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would
not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate
a different lending office if the making of such a designation would reduce or
obviate the need for the Borrower to make payments under Section 4.11 or
4.12(a), or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change
described in Section 4.10; provided, that such designation is made on terms
that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending
office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and (ii) such
Lender may be replaced involuntarily through an amendment approved by the
Required Lenders, the General Administrative Agent and the Borrower and upon
payment in full of all amounts owed to such Lender, provided, that nothing in
this Section 4.14 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the
Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11 or 4.12(a).

                   SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         To induce the General Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter
into this Agreement and to make the Extensions of Credit hereunder, the Borrower
hereby represents and warrants to the General Administrative Agent and each
Lender that:

         5.1 Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or written information
contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document,
certificate or written statement furnished to the General Administrative Agent
or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document
or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro forma
financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon
good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of such Loan Party
to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such
financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact
and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial
information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a
material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly
disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other documents,
certificates and statements furnished to the General Administrative Agent and
the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and
by the other Loan Documents.

         5.2 No Change. Since the Petition Date there has been no development or
event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

         5.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Loan Party, except
as otherwise set forth in the legal opinion of general counsel to the Borrower
delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(h), (a) is duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the
<PAGE>
                                                                              42

jurisdiction of its organization, (b) subject to applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code requiring Bankruptcy Court approval, has the corporate power and
authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the
property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is
currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or
operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification
except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of
Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Upon entry
of the Final Order, each Loan Party shall have the corporate power and
authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents
to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow and obtain
letters of credit hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to
authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Final Order and any Notes and to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. No consent or
authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any
Governmental Authority (other than entry of the Final Order) or any other Person
is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution,
delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents. This
Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party will be,
duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party which is a party
thereto. Upon entry of the Final Order, this Agreement will constitute, and each
other Loan Document to which it is a party when executed and delivered will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Loan Party which is a
party thereto enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms
and the Final Order.

         5.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan
Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the
use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable
to any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition
of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any
such Requirement of Law (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents
and the Final Order).

         5.6 No Material Litigation. Except for the Cases or as set forth in
Schedule 5.6, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan
Party, threatened by or against any Loan Party or against any of its properties
or revenues (i) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any
respect which could have a Material Adverse Effect during the Cases. No Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
<PAGE>
                                                                              43

         5.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid
leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid
leasehold interest in, all its other property, and none of such property is
subject to any Lien except as set forth in Schedule 5.8 or otherwise permitted
hereunder.

         5.9 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use,
all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes
necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted (the
"Intellectual Property"). Except as set forth in Schedule 5.9, no claim has been
asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any
such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any
such claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by each Loan Party does not
infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements
that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. An adverse determination of any or all of the matters set forth
on Schedule 5.9 could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

         5.10 No Burdensome Restrictions. Except with regard to the Consent and
Final Order between the Borrower and the Environmental Protection Agency dated
October 17, 2000 (as amended), no Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.11 Taxes. Other than (a) any taxes, fees or other charges, the amount
or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been
provided on the books of such Loan Party, (b) payments or filings which are
prohibited by the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court, or liens which result
from prohibitions or (c) as set forth on Schedule 5.11: each Loan Party has
filed, caused to be filed or requested and received an extension to file, all
material tax returns which, to the knowledge of such Loan Party, are required to
be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or
on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material
taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any
Governmental Authority; no tax Lien has been filed and, to the knowledge of such
Loan Party, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or
other charge.

         5.12 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be
used in violation of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.

         5.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated funding
deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of
ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this
representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan
has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA
and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien
in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The
present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on
those

<PAGE>
                                                                              44

assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation
date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made,
exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits.
Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or
partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and neither the Borrower nor any
Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if
the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely
from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the
date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer
Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. The present value (determined using
actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits
provided and the employees participating) of the liability of the Borrower and
each Commonly Controlled Entity for post retirement benefits to be provided to
their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans
(as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) does not, in the aggregate, exceed the
assets under all such Plans allocable to such benefits by an amount in excess of
$2,000,000.

         5.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an
"investment company," or a company "controlled" by an "investment company,"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan
Party is subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation
(other than Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

         5.15 Affiliates. Schedule 5.15 sets forth a complete list of the
Canadian Subsidiaries and other Affiliates of the Borrower on the Closing Date.

         5.16 Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to pay
expenses in the Cases, including professional fees approved by the Bankruptcy
Court, finance the ongoing working capital needs of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and capital expenditures in
accordance with the terms hereof and substantially in accordance with the terms
of the FY02 Budget and the FY03 Budget, to pay interest, fees and other expenses
hereunder and to fund the adequate protection payments as provided in the Final
Order.

         5.17 Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the
following that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect and except as set forth on
Schedule 5.17:

         (a) Each Loan Party (i) is, and within the period of all applicable
statutes of limitation has been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental
Laws; (ii) holds all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and
effect) required for any of their current or intended operations or for any
property owned, leased, or otherwise operated by any of them; (iii) is, and
within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation has been, in
compliance with all of their Environmental Permits; and (iv) reasonably believes
that: each of its Environmental Permits will be timely renewed and complied
with, without material expense; any additional Environmental Permits that may be
required of it will be timely obtained and complied with, without material
expense; and compliance with any Environmental Law that is or is expected to
become applicable to it will be timely attained and maintained, without material
expense.

         (b) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported,
disposed of, emitted, discharged, or otherwise released or threatened to be
released, to or at any real property now or formerly owned, leased or operated
by any Loan Party or at any other location, which could reasonably be expected
to (i) interfere with the continued operations of such Loan Party, or (ii)
impair the fair saleable value of any real property owned or leased by such Loan
Party.

         (c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding
(including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to
any Environmental Law to which any Loan Party is, or to the knowledge of such
Loan Party will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of
such Loan Party, threatened.

         (d) No Loan Party has received any written request for information, or
been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42
U.S.C. ss.ss. 9601 et seq., or any similar Environmental Law, or with respect to
any Materials of Environmental Concern.

         (e) No Loan Party has entered into or agreed to any consent decree,
order, or settlement or other agreement, nor is subject to any judgment, decree,
or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other
forum, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law.

         (f) No Loan Party has assumed or retained, by contract or operation of
law, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, under
any Environmental Law or with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern.

         5.18 Security Documents. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the
Final Order, taken as a whole, are effective to create in favor of the General
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and
enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds
thereof. Upon entry of the Final Order, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right,
title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds
thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other
Person other than as permitted by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or the
Final Order.

         5.19 Bank Accounts. All bank accounts of any Loan Party constitute
Blocked Accounts. The Blocked Accounts identified on Schedule 1.1C constitute
all the bank accounts of any Loan Party that feed directly into the
Concentration Account.

                        SECTION 6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

         6.1 Conditions to Initial Extensions of Credit. The agreement of each

under the other Loan Documents; and (v) exercise any and all remedies under this
Agreement, the Final Order, and applicable law available to the General

                  SECTION 10. THE GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
                              AND COLLATERAL AGENT

         10.1 Appointments. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc. as the General Administrative Agent of,
and CIT as the Collateral Agent of, such Lender under this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and in the Cases, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the
General Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and in
the Cases and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the General Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent by the terms
of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the General Administrative Agent nor the
Collateral Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and
no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, any Loan Document or the Final
Order or otherwise exist against the General Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent.

         The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to
Letters of Credit issued by it under this Agreement and the documents associated
therewith. It is understood and agreed that the Issuing Lender (a) shall have
all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to an Administrative Agent in
this Section 10 with respect to acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing
Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it under this Agreement
and the documents associated therewith as fully as if the term "General
Administrative Agent" as used in this Section 10 included the Issuing Lender
with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this
Agreement and (b) shall have all of the benefits of the provisions of Section
10.7 as fully as if the term "General Administrative Agent," as used in Section
10.7, included the Issuing Lender.

         10.2 Delegation of Duties. The General Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective powers and duties under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact, may delegate any or all such powers and duties to each other
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
such duties. Neither the General Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent
shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys
in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
<PAGE>
                                                                              64

         10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the General Administrative Agent
nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in
connection with any Loan Document or the Final Order (except for its or such
Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any
manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in any Loan
Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to
or provided for in, or received by the General Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent under or in connection with, any Loan Document or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
any Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. Neither the General Administrative Agent nor the
Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to
inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained
in, or conditions of, any Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of any Loan Party or other Person.

         10.4 Reliance by General Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The
General Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. The General
Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the General Administrative Agent.
The General Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or in the Cases unless they shall first receive such advice
or concurrence of the Required Lenders, as they deem appropriate or shall first
be indemnified by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
General Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents or in the Cases in accordance with a request of the
Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of
the Loans.

         10.5 Notice of Default. Neither the General Administrative Agent nor
the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the General
Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring
to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the General
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the General Administrative Agent
shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The General Administrative Agent shall
take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the
General Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the General
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action,
<PAGE>
                                                                              65

or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

         10.6 Non-Reliance on the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent
and Other Lenders. (a) Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the
General Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by
the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereinafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of any Loan Party shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the General Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the General
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Loan Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter
into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the General Administrative Agent, Collateral 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 analysis, appraisals
and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and in the Cases, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder,
neither the General Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party which may come
into the possession of the General Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any
of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

         (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Section 6.1, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter either sent by the General Administrative Agent or any
Loan Party to such Lender prior to the Closing Date, or required thereunder to
be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.

         10.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the General
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, each in its capacity as such (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to do so), ratably according to its respective Tranche A Revolving
Credit Percentage or Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentage, as applicable, in
effect on the date on which indemnification is sought, from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any
time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the
Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the General Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the
Revolving Credit Commitments, this Agreement, the other
<PAGE>
                                                                              66

Loan Documents, the Cases or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein
or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action
taken or omitted by the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under
or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided 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
resulting solely from, respectively, the General Administrative Agent's or
Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

         10.8 Agents in Their Respective Individual Capacities. The General
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates may make
loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower as though the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent were
not the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it and with respect to
any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the General Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and
the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the General Administrative Agent
and Collateral Agent in their individual capacity.

         10.9 Successor Agent. The General Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent may resign upon 10 days' notice to the Lenders. If the General
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall resign under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent, shall succeed
to the rights, powers and duties of the General Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent hereunder. Effective upon such appointment and approval, the
term "General Administrative Agent" or "Collateral Agent", respectively, shall
mean such successor agent, and such former General Administrative Agent's or
Collateral Agent's rights, powers and duties as General Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed
on the part of such former General Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or
any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any
retiring General Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's resignation, the
provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was General Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Loan Documents or the Final Order for the purpose of adding any provisions to
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Final Order or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or
(b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the General
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of
the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Final
Order or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,
however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
shall (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any
Loan, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or any fee payable hereunder or
extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or
extend the expiration date of any Lender's Commitment, increase the total amount

thereon), or amend or modify Section 3 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
to include as additional Collateral, or otherwise take Liens on or security
interests in, Materials of Environmental Concern or real or personal property
utilized in the transport, storage or processing of Materials of Environmental
Concern, or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their
obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without
the written consent of all the Lenders, (iii) waive any Event of Default under
Sections 9(p) or 7.12 without the written consent of the holders of 50.1% of the
Revolving Credit Commitments (or, if the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have

modify or waive any provision of subsection 4.9(d) or Section 10 without the
written consent of the General Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, (v)

any provision of the Intercreditor Agreement, (B) Sections 4.3, 4.9 or this
subclause (vii), or (C) amend any defined term used in any of the Sections
referenced in this subclause (vii) if the effect of any such amendment is to
alter the substantive rights and benefits of the Tranche B Lenders under such
Section in a manner that materially adversely affects the rights and benefits,
taken as a whole, of the Tranche B Lenders under this Agreement, without the
written consent of each of the Required Tranche A Lenders and Required Tranche B
Lenders. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification
shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the
Borrower, the Lenders, the General Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and
all future holders of the Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to
the consents required by the previous sentence, the consent of the Required
Tranche B Lenders shall be required for (i) any amendment to this sentence, (ii)
any increase in the respective Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) any
reduction in any interest rate, fees, charges or expenses payable to the Tranche
B Lenders and any amendment to the respective references to "interest rate" or
"expenses" or "fees" to the extent such references relate to "interest rate" or
"expenses" or "fees" of the Tranche B Lenders, including, without limitation,
Sections 3.3(b), 4.1(b), 4.6(b) and (c), (iv) change the definition of Blue
Business Net Proceeds, Tranche B Revolving Credit Percentage or Required Tranche
B Lenders and (v) any amendment
<PAGE>
                                                                              68

of any defined term used in any of the Sections referenced in this sentence if
the effect of any such amendment is to alter the substantive rights and benefits
of the Tranche B Lenders under such Section in a manner that materially
adversely affects the rights and benefits, taken as a whole, of the Tranche B
Lenders hereunder. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the
General Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and
any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. If the Borrower
requests an amendment or waiver that requires all Lenders' consent, and the
consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of all Lenders is
not obtained, the Lender or Lenders which withheld consent may be replaced
involuntarily through an amendment approved by all Required Lenders, the General
Administrative Agent and upon payment in full of all amounts owing to such
non-consenting Lender.

         11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no
delay in exercising, on the part of the General Administrative Agent or any

administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including,

limitation, the on-going monitoring by the General Administrative Agent, each
Underwriter and the Steering Committee of the Cases, including attendance by the
General Administrative Agent, each Underwriter and the Steering Committee, and
their respective counsel at hearings or other proceedings and the on-going
review of documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court) and (e) to pay, indemnify,
and hold each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the General Administrative Agent
harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of
the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability
under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or any of the facilities or properties owned, leased or
operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (all the foregoing in this
clause (e), collectively, the "indemnified liabilities"), provided that the
Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any person seeking
indemnification with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such person. Without limiting the foregoing,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees, and shall
cause each of its Subsidiaries to agree, not to assert, and hereby waives and
agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution
or any other rights of recovery with respect to all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of whatever kind or nature whatsoever, under or related to
Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against
each Lender and the General Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section
shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

         11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the
Lenders, the General Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Extensions
of Credit and their respective
<PAGE>
                                                                              71

successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of each Lender.

         (b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking or
institutional financial business and in accordance with applicable law, at any
time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating
interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any
other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In
the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a
Participant, such Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties
to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of
any such Loan or other interest for all purposes under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the General Administrative Agent
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. No Lender shall be entitled to create in favor of any Participant, in
the participation agreement pursuant to which such Participant's participating
interest shall be created or otherwise, any right to vote on, consent to or
approve any matter relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except
for those specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of the proviso to Section 11.1. The
Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or
unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in
respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to
the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing
such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to
share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 11.7(a) as
fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.11, 4.12, and 4.13
with respect to its participation in the Revolving Credit Commitments and the
Loans and other amounts outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender;
provided that, in the case of Section 4.12, such Participant shall have complied
with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant
shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section
than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the
amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such
Participant had no such transfer occurred.

         (c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking or
institutional financial business and in accordance with applicable law, at any
time and from time to time assign to any Lender, an Approved Fund of any Lender,
or any affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower and the General
Administrative Agent (at the sole discretion of the Borrower and the General
Administrative Agent), to an additional bank, financial institution or fund (an
"Assignee") all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance,
substantially in the form of Exhibit G, executed by such Assignee, such
assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender, an
Approved Fund of any Lender, or an affiliate thereof, by the Borrower and the
General Administrative Agent) and delivered to the General Administrative Agent
for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided that (i) no such
assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender, any Approved Fund of any
Lender, or any affiliate thereof)
<PAGE>
                                                                              72

shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000, (ii) the
assigning Lender shall retain a Commitment, after giving effect to such
assignment, not less than $5,000,000, (other than in the case of an assignment
of all of a Lender's interests under this Agreement) in each case unless
otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the General Administrative Agent and (iii)
no assignment by a Tranche B Lender of any portion of its Tranche B Revolving
Credit Commitment shall be permitted unless the assignee of such Tranche B
Revolving Credit Commitment either (A) is an Investment Grade Entity or (B) has
entered into a Cash Collateral Agreement with the Issuing Lender. Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph (c) and paragraph
(e) of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required, and,
unless requested by the Assignee and/or the assigning Lender, new Notes shall
not be required to be executed and delivered by the Borrower, for any assignment
which occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

         (d) The General Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall
maintain at the address of the General Administrative Agent referred to in
Section 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a
register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts of the
Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the General
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other
obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation
hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of
any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be
effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the
Register.

         (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not
then a Lender, an Approved Fund of any Lender, or an affiliate thereof, by the
Borrower and the General Administrative Agent) together with payment to the
General Administrative of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the
General Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and
Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the
information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance
and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.

         (f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant
or Assignee (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee, subject to
the provisions of Section 11.15, any and all financial information in such
Lender's possession concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
which has been delivered to such Lender by or on
<PAGE>
                                                                              73

behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to
such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender's
credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to
becoming a party to this Agreement.

         (g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that the provisions of this subsection concerning assignments of Loans and Notes
relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit
assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any
pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank
in accordance with applicable law.

         11.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent this Agreement or
the Intercreditor Agreement provide for payments to be allowed to a particular
Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a
"benefitted Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its
Extensions of Credit, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect
thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise), in a
greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other
Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Extensions of Credit, or
interest thereon such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other
Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's
Extensions of Credit, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of
any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause
such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders (to the extent required
by the foregoing clause (i)) provided, however, that if all or any portion of
such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted
Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits
returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The General
Administrative Agent shall use its best efforts to provide calculations and
documentation needed to effect such participations and to arrange a simultaneous
closing of such participations.

         (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by
law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any
such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower
hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to
set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and
any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
