                      THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01     Revolving Loans and Credit-Linked Deposits.

         (a)      Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a "Revolving
Loan") to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during
the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment; provided, however,
that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total
Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and
(ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line
Loans shall not exceed such Lender's Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of
each Lender's Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under
Section 2.07, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Loans may be Base
Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein, provided,
however, all Borrowings made on the Closing Date shall be made as Base Rate
Loans.

         (b)      Credit-Linked Deposits. Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, each Credit-Linked Lender severally agrees to fund such
Lender's Credit-Linked Deposit to the Administrative Agent in Dollars on the
Closing Date in an amount equal to its Credit-Linked Commitment for deposit by
the Administrative Agent in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account.

2.02     Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Loans.

         (a)      Each Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Loans from one
Type to the other, and each continuation of Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower's irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three
Business Days prior to the

<PAGE>

requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Revolving
Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans or any conversion of Revolving Loans that
are Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans and (ii) on the requested date of
any Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic
notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice
(whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is
requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the
other, or a continuation of Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii)
the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may
be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Revolving
Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Revolving Loans
to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Loans are to be converted, and (v)
if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the
Borrower fails to specify a Type of a Revolving Loan in a Loan Notice or if the
Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation,
then the applicable Revolving Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate
Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of
the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the
applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of,
conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but
fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month.

         (b)      Following receipt of a Loan Notice pursuant to Section
2.02(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender with a
Revolving Commitment of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable
Revolving Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is
provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender with
a Revolving Commitment of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each
Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day
specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial
Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds
so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the
books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of
such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and
reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided,
however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, there are L/C
Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied,
first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, to the
Borrower as provided above.

         (c)      Except as otherwise provided herein, a Revolving Loan that is
a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of the
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default
or Event of Default, no Revolving Loans may be requested as, converted to or
continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders,
and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.

         (d)      The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders with a Revolving Commitment of the interest rate applicable to
any Interest Period for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate

<PAGE>

by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. At any time that Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are
outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders
with a Revolving Commitment of any change in Bank of America's prime rate used
in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such
change.

         (e)      After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of
Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving
Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 5 Interest Periods in
effect with respect to Revolving Loans.

         (f)      The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, upon prior
written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, increase the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments by up to FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($50,000,000)
with additional Revolving Commitments from any existing Lender or new Revolving
Commitments from any other Person selected by the Borrower and approved by the
Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that:

                  (i)      any such increase shall be in a minimum principal
         amount of $5 million and in integral multiples of $5 million in excess
         thereof;

                  (ii)     no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing at
         the time of any such increase;

                  (iii)    no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to
         increase its Revolving Commitment and any such decision whether to
         increase its Revolving Commitment shall be in such Lender's sole and
         absolute discretion; and

                  (iv)     any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing
         such joinder documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent.

In connection with any such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the
Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be increased by the same amount and Schedule
2.01 shall be revised by the Administrative Agent to reflect the new Revolving
Commitments and distributed to the Lenders.

2.03     Letters of Credit.

         (a)      The Letter of Credit Commitment.

                  (i)      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
         (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other
         Lenders with a Revolving Commitment set forth in this Section 2.03, (1)
         from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
         Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue
         Letters of Credit in Dollars for the account of the Borrower or any of
         its Subsidiaries, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously
         issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor
         drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders with a
         Revolving Commitment severally agree to participate in Letters of
         Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary;
         provided that the L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to make any L/C
         Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender
         with a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated to participate in any
         Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x)
         the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving
         Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving
         Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
         Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender's Pro Rata
         Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans would exceed
         such Lender's Revolving Commitment or (z) the Outstanding

<PAGE>

         Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit
         Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and
         conditions hereof, the Borrower's ability to obtain Letters of Credit
         shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the
         foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit
         that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

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

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

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

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

                           (D)      the issuance of such Letter of Credit would
                  violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to
                  borrowers generally; or

                           (E)      such Letter of Credit is in an initial
                  amount less than $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter
                  of Credit, or $200,000, in the case of a standby Letter of
                  Credit, or is to be denominated in a currency other than
                  Dollars (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the L/C
                  Issuer, in its sole discretion).

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

                  (iv)     The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue
         or amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer has received written
         notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, on
         or prior to the Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or
         amendment of such Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable
         conditions contained in Article V shall not then be satisfied.

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

         Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in

         Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative

         instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or
         date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an
         initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
         Application shall (x) be accompanied by a written notification from the
         Borrower stating that such application is related to a Letter of Credit
         to be issued pursuant to Section 2.03 and (y) specify in form and
         detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed

         Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D)
         the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) whether or not the

         Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer; (F) the documents to be
         presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G)
         the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in
         case of any drawing thereunder; and (H) such other matters as the L/C
         Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an
         amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
         Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to
         the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed
         date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the
         nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C
         Issuer may reasonably require.

                  (ii)     Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit
         Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent
         (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received
         a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if
         not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy
         thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the
         Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is
         permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the
         terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested
         date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any
         Subsidiary, as the case may be, or enter into the applicable amendment,
         as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer's
         usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance
         of each Letter of Credit, each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall
         be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
         purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of
         Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Pro Rata
         Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

                  (iii)    If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter
         of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute
         discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic
         renewal provisions (each, an "Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit"); provided
         that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer
         to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period
         (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by
         giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day
         (the "Nonrenewal Notice Date") in each such twelve-month period to be
         agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless
         otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be
         required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such
         renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the
         Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the
         L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time
         to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date;
         provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such
         renewal if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no
         obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed
         form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section
         2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be
         by

<PAGE>

         telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business
         Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative
         Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal
         or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that
         one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is
         not then satisfied.

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

         (c)      Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

                  (i)      Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of
         Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C
         Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.
         Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer
         under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the
         Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative
         Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower
         fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative
         Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount
         of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount
         of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower
         shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be
         disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed
         Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
         Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject
         to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving
         Commitments. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative
         Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if
         immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an
         immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
         effect of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower
         elects to deposit cash with the Administrative Agent to secure any
         Letter of Credit, any Unreimbursed Amount with respect to such Letter
         of Credit shall be funded with such cash on the Honor Date.

                  (ii)     Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment (including
         the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to
         Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for
         the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent's Office in
         an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not
         later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by
         the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
         Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall
         be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.
         The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C
         Issuer.

                  (iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not
         fully refinanced by (A) a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the
         conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any
         other reason or (B) with cash pledged and deposited with the
         Administrative Agent to secure such Unreimbursed Amount, the Borrower
         shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing
         in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced,
         which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with
         interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event,
         each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of
         the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment
         in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
         constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
         participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

<PAGE>

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

                  (v)      Each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or
         L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under
         Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be
         absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
         circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
         defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C
         Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B)
         the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or
         (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to
         any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender's obligation
         to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to
         the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the
         Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall
         relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse
         the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer
         under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

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

                  (vii)    Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or
         outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Subsidiary
         of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C
         Issuer hereunder for the full amount of any and all drawings under such
         Letter of Credit.

         (d)      Repayment of Participations.

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

                  (ii)     If any payment received by the Administrative Agent
         for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is
         required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in
         Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
         L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender with a Revolving Commitment
         shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
         its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative

<PAGE>

         Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
         such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to
         the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

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

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

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

                  (iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document
         presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
         invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
         untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
         transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a
         drawing under such Letter of Credit;

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

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

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

         (f)      Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that,
in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have
any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft,
certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to
ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the
L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents,
participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for
(i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with
the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any
action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or
Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes

<PAGE>

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

         (g)      Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
(i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any
Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if,
as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any
reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C
Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the
date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case
may be). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders with a Revolving Commitment, a security
interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances in the applicable
cash collateral accounts and all proceeds therein. Such cash collateral shall be
maintained in blocked deposit accounts at Bank of America. Furthermore, at the
time of the issuance of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03(b), the
Borrower may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deposit with or deliver to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders with
a Revolving Commitment, as collateral for such Letter of Credit, cash pursuant
to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

         (h)      Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly
agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i)
the rules of the "International Standby Practices 1998" published by the
Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof
as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter
of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of
Commerce (the "UCP") at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial
Letter of Credit.

         (i)      Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share (i) a Letter of Credit fee for each commercial Letter of Credit equal
to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in
effect under such Letter of Credit) and (ii) a Letter of Credit fee for each
standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such
maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit). Such Letter of
Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of
credit fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of
each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first

<PAGE>

such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the
Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of
Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for
each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

         (j)      Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to
L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own
account (i) a one time fronting fee for each commercial Letter of Credit equal
to 1/8 of 1% times the amount of such commercial Letter of Credit, due and
payable at the time of issuance and (ii) a fronting fee with respect to each
standby Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum on the daily
maximum amount available to be drawn thereunder (whether or not such maximum
amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit), due and payable quarterly
in arrears on the Business Day immediately following the last Business Day of
each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to
occur after the issuance of such standby Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C
Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and
other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer
relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary
fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are
nonrefundable.

         (k)      Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of
any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit
Application, the terms hereof shall control.

         (l)      Transfer of Letter of Credit to Credit-Linked Letter of
Credit. The Borrower may elect, one time per fiscal quarter, to transfer Letters
of Credit to Credit-Linked Letters of Credit provided that any such transfer
complies with the terms of Section 2.05(a)(vi).

         (m)      Designation of Subsidiaries as Account Parties.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including
without limitation Section 2.03(a), a Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall
upon the request of the Borrower be issued for the account of any Subsidiary of
the Borrower, provided that notwithstanding such request, the Borrower shall be
the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement for such Letter of
Credit and such request shall not affect the Borrower's reimbursement
obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit.

2.04     Swing Line Loans.

         (a)      Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a
"Swing Line Loan") to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business
Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any
time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact
that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Swing Line
Lender in its capacity as a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of
such Lender's Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect
to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount
of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender's
Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the
proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.
Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section
2.07, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base
Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender with a
Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and

<PAGE>

hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line
Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the
product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line
Loan.

         (b)      Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall
be made upon the Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be
received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to
be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date,
which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a
written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line
Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not,
the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at
the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed
Borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make
such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to
the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00
p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the
amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in the event that an "auto borrow" or "zero balance" or
similar arrangement shall then be in place with the Swing Line Lender, the
Borrower shall request Swing Line Loans pursuant to such alternative notice
arrangements, if any, provided thereunder or in connection therewith, and each
Swing Line Loan advance shall be in such minimum amounts, if any, provided by
such arrangement.

         (c)      Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

                  (i)      The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and
         absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which
         hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so
         request on its behalf), that each Lender with a Revolving Commitment
         make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata
         Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request
         shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a
         Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the
         requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and
         multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate
         Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving
         Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. The Swing
         Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable
         Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative
         Agent. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall make an amount
         equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Loan Notice
         available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds
         for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent's
         Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan
         Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so
         makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to
         the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the
         funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

                  (ii)     If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be
         refinanced by such a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with
         Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans

<PAGE>

         submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed
         to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders with
         a Revolving Commitment fund its risk participation in the relevant
         Swing Line Loan and each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent
         for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i)
         shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

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

                  (iv)     Each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or
         to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant
         to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
         not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off,
         counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may
         have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person
         for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a
         Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or
         not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
         Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section
         2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such
         purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise
         impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans,
         together with interest as provided herein.

         (d)      Repayment of Participations.

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

                  (ii)     If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in
         respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to
         be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances
         described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement
         entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender
         with a Revolving Commitment shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro
         Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
         thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
         returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The
         Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the
         Swing Line Lender.

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

<PAGE>

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

2.05     Credit-Linked Deposits and Credit Extensions.

         (a)      Credit-Linked Letters of Credit.

                  (i)      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
         (A) the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the
         agreements of the Credit-Linked Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05,
         from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
         Closing Date until the Credit-Linked Expiration Date, to issue
         Credit-Linked Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account
         of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, and (B) the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer
         agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in
         this Section 2.05, (1) to amend, extend, reinstate or renew
         Credit-Linked Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance
         with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the
         Credit-Linked Letters of Credit; and (C) the Credit-Linked Lenders
         severally agree to participate in Credit-Linked Letters of Credit
         issued or outstanding hereunder for the account of the Borrower or any
         Subsidiary as provided in Section 2.05(c), and all reimbursement
         obligations and rights hereunder in respect thereof and the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer Documents with respect thereto and the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer hereby grants to the Credit-Linked Lenders
         such participation interests in such Credit-Linked Letters of Credit
         and all reimbursement obligations and rights hereunder in respect
         thereof and such related Credit-Linked L/C Issuer Documents; provided
         that the Borrower shall not request the issuance of any Credit-Linked
         Letter of Credit, the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall not be obligated
         to issue any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, and no Credit-Linked
         Lender shall participate in any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit if as of
         the date of such Credit-Linked Credit Extension, (I) the sum of the
         Outstanding Amount of (x) all Credit-Linked Letters of Credits plus (y)
         the aggregate of the Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amounts with respect to
         Credit-Linked Letters of Credit would exceed the principal amount of
         the Total Credit-Linked Deposit; (II) any Credit-Linked Lender's Pro
         Rata Share of the sum of the Outstanding Amount of (x) all
         Credit-Linked Letters of Credits and (y) the aggregate of the
         Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amounts with respect to the Credit-Linked
         Letters of Credit would exceed the principal amount of such
         Credit-Linked Lender's Credit-Linked Deposit; or (III) the expiry date
         of any such requested Credit-Linked Letter of Credit would occur after
         the Credit-Linked Expiration Date, unless all the Credit-Linked Lenders
         have approved such expiry date; and provided further that in
         determining the availability hereunder with respect to any
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder, the
         Total Credit-Linked Deposit will be deemed to be utilized in respect of
         each Credit-Linked Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the maximum
         amount available to be drawn under each such Credit-Linked Letter of
         Credit after giving effect to all increases thereof contemplated by
         such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount
         is in effect at such time). Furthermore, the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer
         shall not be obligated to issue any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit if
         after giving effect to the issuance of such Credit-Linked Letter of
         Credit, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Credit-Linked Letters of
         Credit having expiry dates after the applicable reduction date
         specified in Section 2.08(c) plus the aggregate of Unreimbursed
         Credit-Linked Amount plus the aggregate Term Loans outstanding would
         exceed the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits and Term
         Loans on such applicable dates permitted by Section 2.08(c).

                  (ii)     Within the foregoing limits (the "Credit-Linked
         Issuance Limits"), and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
         Borrower's ability to obtain Credit-Linked Letters of Credit shall be
         fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing
         period, obtain

<PAGE>

         Credit-Linked Letters of Credit to replace Credit-Linked Letters of
         Credit that have expired, been terminated or cancelled, or that have
         been drawn upon and reimbursed. Notwithstanding anything to the
         contrary set forth herein, (a) if any portion of the Total
         Credit-Linked Deposit is utilized to reimburse the Credit-Linked L/C
         Issuer for any amounts drawn under any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit
         pursuant to Section 2.05(c) hereof, the Total Credit-Linked Deposit
         shall be permanently reduced by the corresponding amount utilized to
         reimburse the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and shall not be reinstated or
         (b) if any portion of the Total Credit-Linked Deposit is utilized to
         make Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a) hereof, the Total
         Credit-Linked Deposit shall be reduced by the corresponding amount
         utilized to make Term Loans.

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

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

                           (B)      subject to Section 2.05(b)(iii), the expiry
                  date of such requested Credit-Linked Letter of Credit would
                  occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or
                  last renewal, unless the Required Credit-Linked Lenders have
                  approved such expiry date;

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

                           (D)      the issuance of such Credit-Linked Letter of
                  Credit would violate one or more policies of the Credit-Linked
                  L/C Issuer applicable to borrowers generally; or

                           (E)      except as otherwise agreed by the
                  Administrative Agent and the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer, such
                  Credit-Linked Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than
                  $1,000,000, or is to be denominated in a currency other than
                  Dollars.

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

                  (v)      The Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall be under no
         obligation to issue or amend any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit if the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer has received written notice from

<PAGE>

         any Credit-Linked Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party,
         on or prior to the Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance
         or amendment of such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, that one or more
         applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not then be
         satisfied.

                  (vi)     The Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and the Credit-Linked
         Lenders agree that the Borrower may transfer (not more than one time
         per fiscal quarter) Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the terms of
         Section 2.03 to Credit-Linked Letters of Credit; provided that (A) the
         Borrower has delivered to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer (with a copy to
         the Administrative Agent) a Letter of Credit Transfer Notice,
         appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the
         Borrower not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days
         prior to the proposed transfer date, (B) such Letter of Credit together
         with any other Letters of Credit being transferred pursuant to this
         Section 2.05(a)(vi) are in an aggregate face amount of not less than
         $1,000,000, (C) except as provided in Section 2.05(a)(vi)(B), such
         Letter of Credit satisfies all of the requirements contained in Section
         2.05(a)(iii), (D) after giving effect to such Credit-Linked Credit
         Extension, (I) the sum, without duplication, of the Outstanding Amount
         of (x) all Credit-Linked Letters of Credits and (y) the aggregate of
         the Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amounts with respect to Credit-Linked
         Letters of Credit does not exceed the principal amount of the Total
         Credit-Linked Deposit; (II) any Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share
         of the sum, without duplication, of the Outstanding Amount of (x) all
         Credit-Linked Letters of Credits and (y) the aggregate of the
         Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amounts with respect to the Credit-Linked
         Letters of Credit does not exceed the principal amount of such
         Credit-Linked Lender's Credit-Linked Deposit, (E) the expiry date of
         such Letter of Credit does not occur after the Credit-Linked Expiration
         Date, unless all the Credit-Linked Lenders have approved such expiry
         date and (F) all of the conditions contained in Section 5.02 have been
         satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable transfer. Immediately
         upon the transfer of a Letter of Credit to a Credit-Linked Letter of
         Credit pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.05(a)(vi), each
         Credit-Linked Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
         unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer a
         risk participation in such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit in an amount
         equal to the product of such Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share
         times the amount of such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit which risk
         participation shall be satisfied solely from such Credit-Linked
         Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Credit-Linked Deposits in the
         Credit-Linked Deposit Account in accordance with the provisions of
         Section 2.05(c).

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

                  (i)      Each Credit-Linked Letter of Credit shall be issued
         or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower
         delivered to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
         Administrative Agent) in the form of a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit
         Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
         Officer of the Borrower. Such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit
         Application must be received by the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and the
         Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3)
         Business Days (or such later date and time as the Credit-Linked L/C
         Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior
         to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.
         In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Credit-Linked
         Letter of Credit, such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit Application shall
         (x) be accompanied by a written notification from the Borrower stating
         that such application is related to a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit to
         be issued pursuant to Section 2.05 and (y) shall specify in form and
         detail reasonably satisfactory to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer: (A) the
         proposed issuance date of the requested Credit-Linked Letter of Credit
         (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry
         date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E)
         the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case

<PAGE>

         of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be
         presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and
         (G) such other matters as the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer may reasonably
         require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit
         Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to
         the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer (A) the Credit-Linked Letter of Credit to
         be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be
         a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) the
         delivery instructions with respect to the amendment. Additionally, the
         Borrower shall furnish to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and the
         Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to
         such requested Credit-Linked Letter of Credit issuance or amendment,
         including any Credit-Linked L/C Issuer Documents as the Credit-Linked
         L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. Without
         limiting the generality of the foregoing, the delivery of a
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit Application is additional to, and not in
         replacement or substitution of, any other Credit-Linked L/C Issuer
         Document that the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer may require. Upon the
         effectiveness of any issuance or amendment of a Credit-Linked Letter of
         Credit that will constitute a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit hereunder,
         the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to assume
         that the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer has obtained such Credit-Linked L/C
         Issuer Documents as it shall have requested, executed by the relevant
         parties thereto to the extent required hereby.

                  (ii)     Promptly after receipt of any Credit-Linked Letter of
         Credit Application, the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer will confirm with the
         Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) (if the
         Administrative Agent is different from the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer)
         that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Credit-Linked
         Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a
         copy thereof (if the Administrative Agent is different from the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer). Upon receipt by the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer
         of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested
         issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof,
         then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Credit-Linked L/C
         Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Credit-Linked Letter of
         Credit for the account of the Borrower, or its Subsidiary, as the case
         may be, or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in
         each case in accordance with the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer's usual and
         customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, each Credit-Linked Lender shall be
         deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
         purchase from the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer a risk participation in such
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of
         such Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of such
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit which risk participation shall be
         satisfied solely from such Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
         Credit-Linked Deposits in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(c).

                  (iii)    If the Borrower so requests in any applicable
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit Application, the Credit-Linked L/C
         Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions
         (each, an "Auto-Renewal Credit-Linked Letter of Credit"); provided that
         any such Auto-Renewal Credit-Linked Letter of Credit must permit the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in
         each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
         beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the "Credit-Linked Nonrenewal
         Notice Date") in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the
         time such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise
         directed by the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be
         required to make a specific request to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer for
         any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Credit-Linked Letter of Credit
         has been issued, the Credit-Linked Lenders shall be deemed to have
         authorized (but may not require) the

<PAGE>

         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Credit-Linked
         Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the
         Credit-Linked Expiration Date; provided, however, that the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no
         obligation at such time to issue such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit in
         its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of
         Section 2.05(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which
         may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five
         (5) Business Days before the Credit-Linked Nonrenewal Notice Date (1)
         from the Administrative Agent that the Required Credit-Linked Lenders
         have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative
         Agent, any Credit-Linked Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the
         applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied.

                  (iv)     If the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall issue any
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit or amend any Credit-Linked Letter of
         Credit (if the effect thereof is to increase the face amount), without
         obtaining prior consent from the Administrative Agent (if the
         Administrative Agent is different from the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer)
         (as provided in clause (ii) above), or if the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer
         shall permit the extension or renewal of an Auto-Renewal Credit without
         giving timely prior notice to the Administrative Agent (if the
         Administrative Agent is different from the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer) or
         when such extension or renewal is not permitted hereunder (as provided
         in clause (iii) above), such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit (in the
         case of any such amendment, to the extent of the increased face amount
         thereof, and in the case of any reinstatement, to the extent of the
         reinstated amount thereof) (A) shall for all purposes be deemed to have
         been issued by the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer solely for its own account
         and risk and without recourse to any Credit-Linked Deposits in the
         Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any Collateral, and (B) shall not be
         considered a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit outstanding under this
         Agreement, and no Credit-Linked Lender shall be deemed to have any
         participation therein, effective as of the date of such issuance,
         amendment, reinstatement, extension or renewal, as the case may be,
         unless the Required Credit-Linked Lenders expressly consent thereto.

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

         (c)      Drawings and Reimbursements; Credit-Linked Deposits.

                  (i)      Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such
         Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall
         notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later
         than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the Credit-Linked L/C
         Issuer under a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit (each such date, a
         "Credit-Linked Honor Date"), the Borrower shall reimburse the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount
         equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so
         reimburse the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative
         Agent shall promptly notify each Credit-Linked Lender of the
         Credit-Linked Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the
         "Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amount"), and the amount of such
         Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share. In such event the Administrative
         Agent shall also notify each Credit-Linked Lender that Credit-Linked
         L/C Advances will be funded by application of such Credit-Linked
         Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Credit-Linked Deposits in the
         Credit-Linked Deposit Account on the sixth Business Day after such
         Credit-Linked Honor Date to the extent the Unreimbursed Credit-Linked
         Amount (or any portion thereof) remains

<PAGE>

         outstanding on such day. Any notice given by the Credit-Linked L/C
         Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)(i)
         may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
         that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
         conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

                  (ii)     The Credit-Linked L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably
         grants to each Credit-Linked Lender, and each Credit-Linked Lender
         hereby irrevocably accepts and purchases from the Credit-Linked L/C
         Issuer on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such
         Credit-Linked Lender's own account and risk, an undivided interest
         equal to its Pro Rata Share in the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer's
         obligations and rights with respect to the Credit-Linked Letters of
         Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement (as to each Credit-Linked
         Lender, its "Credit-Linked Participation"), which purchase price when
         paid to the Administrative Agent shall not be a deposit obligation of
         the Administrative Agent. The consideration for the Credit-Linked
         Participation of each Credit-Linked Lender shall consist of the payment
         by such Credit-Linked Lender to the Administrative Agent of an amount
         equal to the Dollar amount set forth opposite such Credit-Linked
         Lender's name in Schedule 2.01 under the heading "Credit-Linked
         Deposit" (as the same may be reduced from time to time in accordance
         with this Agreement, such Lender's "Credit-Linked Deposit"), subject to
         the conditions precedent set forth in Article V hereof. Each
         Credit-Linked Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its
         Credit-Linked Deposit in full on the Closing Date. The Credit-Linked
         Deposits of all Credit-Linked Lenders shall be held by, and in the name
         of, the Administrative Agent in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account under
         the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Each
         Credit-Linked Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the
         Administrative Agent and the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer that, if a
         drawing is paid under any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit for which the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in
         cash within five (5) Business Days after the applicable Credit-Linked
         Honor Date or converted into a Term Loan under Section 2.06(a), such
         Credit-Linked Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to
         reimburse to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer the Unreimbursed
         Credit-Linked Amount (or the outstanding portion thereof) related to
         such drawing on or after the sixth Business Day after such
         Credit-Linked Honor Date, to the extent of such Credit-Linked Lender's
         Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amount, solely from
         such Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Credit-Linked
         Deposits in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and each Credit-Linked
         Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge
         the Credit-Linked Deposit Account for such purpose, in satisfaction of
         such Credit-Linked Lender's reimbursement obligation arising with
         respect to such drawing hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         following the occurrence of an Event of Default (including without
         limitation the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for
         relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the
         United States), the Credit-Linked Lenders hereby agree that the
         Administrative Agent may immediately reimburse to the Credit-Linked L/C
         Issuer the Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amount (or the outstanding
         portion thereof) related to any drawing under any Credit-Linked Letter
         of Credit on the Credit-Linked Honor Date with Dollars deposited in the
         Credit-Linked Deposit Account in an amount equal to each such
         Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Unreimbursed
         Credit-Linked Amount. Without limiting the generality of Section 11.01,
         in charging the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or otherwise exercising
         any rights of set-off with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent
         acts as the agent of the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer. The amount of each
         Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Unreimbursed
         Credit-Linked Amount (or portion thereof) which is paid to the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer as set forth above shall be deemed to be a
         Credit-Linked L/C Advance by such Credit-Linked Lender to the Borrower
         hereunder. The outstanding principal amount of each Credit-Linked L/C
         Advance, together with interest thereon as provided in Section 2.10,
         shall be due and payable, in Dollars, on demand. Each Credit-Linked
         Lender shall be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer

<PAGE>

         against the Borrower and any Subsidiary liable under such Credit-Linked
         Letter of Credit to the extent such Credit-Linked Lender has reimbursed
         the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer as set forth in this Section 2.05(c)(ii).
         The Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall reasonably cooperate in exercising
         and enforcing such rights and remedies as may be requested by the
         Required Credit-Linked Lenders (and such cooperation shall be subject
         to any applicable indemnification set forth in Section 10.07 or Section
         11.05 of this Agreement). The Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall have no
         right to withdraw or set-off against monies on deposit in the
         Credit-Linked Deposit Account other than as set forth in this Section
         2.05(c)(ii).

                  (iii)    The Credit-Linked Deposits shall be held by the
         Administrative Agent in its name in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account
         and no Person other than the Administrative Agent shall have a right of
         withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account nor any other right
         or power with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposits or the
         Credit-Linked Deposit Account. Notwithstanding anything in this
         Agreement to the contrary, the sole funding obligation of each
         Credit-Linked Lender in respect of its Credit-Linked Participation
         shall be satisfied upon funding of its Credit-Linked Deposit on the
         Closing Date.

                  (iv)     Until a Credit-Linked Advance is funded pursuant to
         this Section 2.05(c) to reimburse the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer for the
         Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amount in respect of any Credit-Linked
         Letter of Credit, or such Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amount is
         converted to a Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, interest in respect
         of each Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Credit-Linked L/C
         Borrowing in the amount of such Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amount shall
         be solely for the account of the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer.

                  (v)      Except as expressly provided herein, each
         Credit-Linked Lender's agreement to fund Credit-Linked L/C Advances, by
         application of such Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
         Credit-Linked Deposits, and to reimburse the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer
         for amounts drawn under Credit-Linked Letters of Credit issued by the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer, as contemplated by this Section 2.05(c),
         shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
         circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
         defense or other right which such Credit-Linked Lender may have against
         the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other
         Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of
         a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or
         condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

                  (vi)     Notwithstanding that a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit
         issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a
         Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer hereunder for the full amount of any and all
         drawings under such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit.

         (d)      Repayment of Participations.

                  (i)      At any time after the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer has
         made a payment under any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit and has
         received from the Credit-Linked Deposit the proceeds of Credit-Linked
         L/C Advances by the Credit-Linked Lenders in respect of such payment in
         accordance with Section 2.05(c), if the Administrative Agent receives
         for the account of the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer any payment in respect
         of the related Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amount or interest thereon
         (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
         cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the
         Administrative Agent will distribute to such Credit-Linked Lender its
         Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
         payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Credit-Linked
         Lender's

<PAGE>

         Credit-Linked L/C Advance was outstanding) in Dollars and in the same
         funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. If a Credit-Linked
         L/C Borrowing has occurred hereunder, the Borrower shall repay the
         Credit-Linked Unreimbursed Amount and interest thereon as provided in
         Sections 2.05(c) and 2.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
         Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall have received from the Credit-Linked
         Deposit the proceeds of Credit-Linked L/C Advances by the Credit-Linked
         Lenders and thereafter shall receive any direct payment from the
         Borrower in respect of a Credit-Linked L/C Advance, the Credit-Linked
         L/C Issuer shall immediately pay the amount received to the
         Administrative Agent for distribution to the Credit-Linked Lenders in
         accordance with this Section 2.05(d).

                  (ii)     If any payment received by the Administrative Agent
         for the account of the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer pursuant to Section
         2.05(d)(i) and distributed to the Credit-Linked Lenders by the
         Administrative Agent is required to be returned under any of the
         circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any
         settlement entered into by the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer), each
         Credit-Linked Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
         account of the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on
         demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date
         of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such
         Credit-Linked L/C Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
         Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

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

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

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

                  (iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document
         presented under such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit proving to be
         forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
         statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any
         loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required
         in order to make a drawing under such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit;

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

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

<PAGE>

         available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

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

         (f)      Role of Credit-Linked L/C Issuer. Each Credit-Linked Lender
and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Credit-Linked Letter
of Credit, the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to
obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents
expressly required by the Credit-Linked Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Credit-Linked
L/C Issuer, any Issuer-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents,
participants or assignees of the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer or any Issuer-Related
Person shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders
or the Required Credit-Linked Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the
due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit or Request for Credit
Extension. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Credit-Linked Letter of
Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall
not, preclude the Borrower's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have
against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None
of the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer, any Issuer-Related Person, nor any of the
respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Credit-Linked L/C
Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.05(e); provided, however, that anything in
such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim
against the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer, and the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer may be
liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as
opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which
the Borrower proves were caused by the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer's willful
misconduct or gross negligence or the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer's willful failure
to pay under any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by
the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not
in limitation of the foregoing, the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
and the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.

         (g)      Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly
agreed by the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Credit-Linked
Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the "International Standby
Practices 1998" published by the Institute of International Banking Law &
Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of
issuance) shall apply to each standby Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, and (ii)
the rules of the UCP at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial
Credit-Linked Letter of Credit.

         (h)      Credit-Linked L/C Issuer Documents. In the event of any
conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Credit-Linked Letter of
Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

         (i)      Interest on Credit-Linked Deposit; Repayment of Credit-Linked
Deposit.

<PAGE>

                  (i)      The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to cause Bank
         of America to pay interest to the Administrative Agent, as holder of
         the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and the Administrative Agent, as
         holder of the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, agrees to distribute to
         each Credit-Linked Lender, from such interest payments received from
         Bank of America, such Credit-Linked Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
         interest earned on the outstanding amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits
         in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account. Such interest will be distributed
         to the Credit-Linked Lenders by the Administrative Agent quarterly in
         arrears on the first Business Day following the end of each Interest
         Period relating to the Credit-Linked Deposits. The Administrative Agent
         hereby agrees that the Credit-Linked Deposits in the Credit-Linked
         Deposit Account shall earn interest at the rate per annum at least
         equal to the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Money Market Account
         Agreement) (the "Benchmark Rate") minus fifteen (15) basis points. In
         addition to the foregoing payments by the Administrative Agent, the
         Borrower agrees to make payments to the Credit-Linked Lenders quarterly
         in arrears when the Credit-Linked Facility Fees are payable pursuant to
         Section 2.05(k) in an amount equal to the shortfall between the rate of
         interest actually earned on the Credit-Linked Deposits and the
         Benchmark Rate (which shortfall shall in no event exceed fifteen (15)
         basis points). The Administrative Agent shall compute all amounts due
         under this Section 2.05(i) and shall notify the Borrower and such
         Credit-Linked Lender of each such amount due. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, to the extent the Credit-Linked Deposits earn interest in
         excess of the Benchmark Rate for any Interest Period the Administrative
         Agent shall return such excess to the Borrower.

                  (ii)     Subject to, and to the extent of, the Borrower's
         compliance with the cash-collateralization requirements set forth in
         Section 2.05(j), the Administrative Agent shall distribute the
         aggregate amount of any remaining Credit-Linked Deposits to the
         Credit-Linked Lenders on the Maturity Date to the extent of the amount
         credited to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account. The Credit-Linked
         Deposit Account is a deposit account in the name of the Administrative
         Agent under its sole dominion and control, and held by it subject to
         the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Credit-Linked Lender,
         whether upon the receivership or liquidation of such Credit-Linked
         Lender or otherwise, shall be entitled to its Credit-Linked Deposit
         other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.

                  (iii)    The Borrower shall have no right, title or interest
         in or to the Credit-Linked Deposits or the Credit-Linked Deposit
         Account and no obligations with respect thereto, it being acknowledged
         and agreed by the parties hereto that the making of the Credit-Linked
         Deposits by the Credit-Linked Lenders, the deposit by the
         Administrative Agent of the Credit-Linked Deposits in the Credit-Linked
         Deposit Account, the provisions of this Section 2.05(i) and the
         application of the Credit-Linked Deposits in the manner contemplated by
         Section 2.05(c) constitute agreements among the Administrative Agent,
         the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and each Credit-Linked Lender in respect
         of the funding obligations of each Credit-Linked Lender in respect of
         its Credit-Linked Participation in Credit-Linked Letters of Credit, and
         do not constitute any loan or extension of credit to the Borrower.

         (j)      Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
if as of the Credit-Linked Expiration Date, any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit
may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the
Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of
such Credit-Linked L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding
Amount determined as of the Credit-Linked Expiration Date). The Borrower hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Credit-Linked L/C
Issuer and the Credit-Linked Lenders, a security interest in all such cash,
deposit accounts and all balances in the applicable cash collateral accounts and
all proceeds therein. Such cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked
deposit accounts at Bank of America.

<PAGE>

         (k)      Credit-Linked Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Credit-Linked Lender in accordance
with its Pro Rata Share, a fee (the "Credit-Linked Facility Fee") equal to 3.00%
times the actual daily amount of such Credit-Linked Lender's Credit-Linked
Deposit. The Credit-Linked Facility Fee shall accrue effective as of the Closing
Date and shall be calculated quarterly in arrears by the Administrative Agent.
The Credit-Linked Facility Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on
the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and on the
Credit-Linked Expiration Date and thereafter on demand; provided that, in
connection with any reduction of the Aggregate Credit-Linked Commitments
pursuant to Section 2.08(b), the accrued Credit-Linked Facility Fee calculated
for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such
reduction, and the following quarterly payment shall be calculated on the basis
of the period from such reduction date to such quarterly payment date. The
Credit-Linked Facility Fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met.

         (l)      Credit-Linked Fronting Fee and Processing Charges. The
Borrower shall pay directly to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer for its own account
(the "Credit-Linked Fronting Fee") (i) a one time fronting fee for each
commercial Credit-Linked Letter of Credit equal to 1/8 of 1% times the amount of
such commercial Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, due and payable at the time of
issuance and (ii) a fronting fee with respect to each standby Credit-Linked
Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum on the daily maximum
amount available to be drawn thereunder (whether or not such maximum amount is
then in effect under such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit), due and payable
quarterly in arrears on the Business Day immediately following the last Business
Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such
date to occur after the issuance of such standby Credit-Linked Letter of Credit,
and on the Credit-Linked Expiration Date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay
directly to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer for its own account the customary and
standard issuance, commission, presentation, amendment and other processing
fees, and other standard costs and charges (if any), of the Credit-Linked L/C
Issuer or any Affiliate of the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer, relating to its
Credit-Linked Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect and agreed upon
between the Borrower and the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer. Such customary fees and
standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

         (m)      Designation of Subsidiaries as Account Parties.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including
without limitation Section 2.05(a), a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit issued
hereunder shall upon the request of the Borrower be issued for the account of
any Subsidiary of the Borrower, provided that notwithstanding such request, the
Borrower shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement
for such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit and such request shall not affect the
Borrower's reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such
Credit-Linked Letter of Credit.

2.06     Conversion to Funded Term Loans; Conversion to Credit-Linked Deposits.

(a)      Term Loans.

         (i)      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein
(including satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Sections 5.02
and 5.03), each Credit-Linked Lender severally agrees (A) to make loans (each
such loan, a "Term Loan") to the Borrower from time to time (but not more than
one time per fiscal quarter (and at such additional times as approved by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion)) on any Business Day during the
Availability Period solely with the Dollars funded by each such Credit-Linked
Lender to the Credit-Linked Deposit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in an aggregate
principal amount up to the excess of (I) the principal amount of the Total
Credit-Linked Deposit minus (II) the Outstanding Amount of all Credit-Linked L/C
Obligations (the amount of such excess being the

<PAGE>

"Unused Amount"), (B) to make Term Loans to the Borrower from time to time on
any Business Day solely with the Dollars funded by each such Credit-Linked
Lender to the Credit-Linked Deposit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in an aggregate
principal amount up to the amount of any Credit-Linked L/C Borrowing then
outstanding by converting such Credit-Linked L/C Borrowing to Term Loans and (C)
to make Term Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day solely
with the Dollars funded by each such Credit-Linked Lender to the Credit-Linked
Deposit pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in an aggregate principal amount up to the
amount of any Credit-Linked L/C Advances then outstanding by converting such
Credit Linked L/C Advances to Term Loans; in each case in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, that after
giving effect to the making of any such Term Loan pursuant to this Section
2.06(a), (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Credit-Linked Obligations
shall not exceed the Aggregate Credit-Linked Commitments or the Total
Credit-Linked Deposit and (y) the Pro Rata Share of any Credit-Linked Lender of
the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Credit-Linked Obligations shall not
exceed such Credit-Linked Lender's Credit-Linked Commitment. Any Term Loans made
under this Section 2.06(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be
reborrowed, except to the extent any such Term Loan is repaid pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.06(b).

         (ii)     The Borrower may irrevocably request the making of one or more
Term Loans in an aggregate amount up to the Unused Amount or in an aggregate
amount up to the anticipated drawing on a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit from
the proceeds of Credit-Linked Deposits, or in an aggregate amount up to the
aggregate amount of Credit-Linked L/C Advances then outstanding by converting
such Credit-Linked L/C Advances to Term Loans, as applicable, by delivering a
Loan Notice therefor to the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, not later than three (3)
Business Days prior to the proposed date of making of the Term Loans; provided
that the Borrower shall pay the amounts, if any, payable under Section 3.05; and
provided further that the minimum aggregate amount of Term Loans made on any
date shall be $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed to by the Administrative
Agent). Each Loan Notice delivered pursuant to this Section shall specify (A)
the requested date of the borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the
principal amount of the Term Loans to be borrowed, (C) the Type of Term Loans to
be borrowed and (D) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan
Notice, then the applicable Term Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans. If the
Borrower requests a borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but
fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month.

         (iii)    Following receipt of a Loan Notice pursuant to Section
2.06(a)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Credit-Linked
Lender of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Term Loans, and if no timely
notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Credit-Linked Lender of the details of
any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans as described in the preceding
subsection. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections
5.02 and 5.03, the Administrative Agent shall (A) in the case of Term Loans made
pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i)(A), debit the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of the proposed Term Loans (but not
exceeding the Unused Amount) and shall make such funds available to the Borrower
either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of
America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transferring such funds, in
each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable
to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, (B) in the case of Term Loans made
pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i)(B), debit the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of the proposed Term Loans and transfer
such funds to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer in reimbursement of the applicable
drawing on a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, and (C) in the case of Term Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i)(C) record in its books and records and on
the Register the conversion of the applicable Credit-Linked L/C Advances into
Term Loans, which credit or transfer or recordation, as applicable, shall be
deemed to be

<PAGE>

the making of the Term Loans by the Credit-Linked Lenders hereunder, and such
date shall be the "Term Loan Issuance Date" (and the Administrative Agent shall
forthwith deliver a notice to each Credit-Linked Lender informing such
Credit-Linked Lender of the applicable Term Loan Issuance Date). Each
Credit-Linked Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to
charge the Credit-Linked Deposit Account for such purpose. No Credit-Linked
Lender shall have any obligation to make Term Loans to the Borrower other than
from the proceeds of its Credit-Linked Deposits.

         (iv)     Each conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and
each continuation of Term Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made
upon the Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested
date of any conversion to or continuation of, Term Loans that are Eurodollar
Rate Loans or any conversion of Term Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans to
Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section
2.06(a)(iv) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent
of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall
specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a conversion of Term Loans from
one Type to the other or a continuation of Term Loans that are Eurodollar Rate
Loans, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case
may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Term Loans
to be converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Term Loans to which existing Term
Loans are to be converted, if applicable, and (v) if applicable, the duration of
the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to give a timely
notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans
shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate
Loans. If the Borrower requests a conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will
be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

         (v)      Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term Loan that is a
Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of the
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default
or Event of Default, no Term Loans may be requested as, converted to or
continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required
Credit-Linked Lenders, and the Required Credit-Linked Lenders may demand that
any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted
immediately to Base Rate Loans.

         (vi)     The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Credit-Linked Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest
Period for Term Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such
interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that
Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Credit-Linked Lenders of any change in Bank of
America's prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the
public announcement of such change.

         (vii)    After giving effect to all borrowings of Term Loans, all
conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of
Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 5 Interest Periods in
effect with respect to Term Loans.

         (b)      Conversion Back to Credit-Linked Deposits.

         (i)      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Borrower may repay all or any portion of the outstanding amount of the Term
Loans then in existence by paying Dollars to the Administrative Agent for
deposit by the Administrative Agent of such Dollars in the Credit-Linked

<PAGE>

Deposit Account in an amount equal to the Term Loans being repaid.

         (ii)     The Borrower may prepay the Term Loans in the manner provided
for in Section 2.06(b)(i), by delivering a Request for Credit-Linked Deposit to
the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower, not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the
date of proposed prepayment; provided that the Borrower shall pay the amounts,
if any, payable under Section 3.05; and provided, further that the minimum
aggregate amount of Term Loans prepaid on any date pursuant to Section
2.06(b)(i) shall be $5,000,000.

         (iii)    Following receipt of any Request for Credit-Linked Deposit,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Credit-Linked Lender of its
Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan being prepaid. Upon the satisfaction of the
procedures contained in this Section 2.06(b), the Borrower shall make the
prepayment of the applicable Term Loans to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent shall deposit such proceeds received in the Credit-Linked
Deposit Account. Such proceeds being paid back to the Credit-Linked Deposit
Account shall be credited to each Credit-Linked Lender according to its Pro Rata
Share. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, any amount
prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) may be reborrowed.

2.07     Prepayments.

         (a)      Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.

                  (i)      Revolving Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice from
         the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to
         time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans in whole or in part without
         premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by
         the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three (3)
         Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans
         and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any such
         prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
         $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if
         less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding) and (C) any
         prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
         $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if
         less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each such
         notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the
         Type(s) of Revolving Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will
         promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of its receipt
         of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share
         of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the
         Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in
         such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
         prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all
         accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required
         pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the
         Revolving Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro
         Rata Shares.

                  (ii)     Swing Line Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to
         the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any
         time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole
         or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice
         must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
         not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any
         such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $250,000 or a
         whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire
         principal thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the
         date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
         Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment
         amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
         specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event
         that an "auto borrow" or "zero

<PAGE>

         balance" or similar arrangement shall then be in place with the Swing
         Line Lender, the Borrower may make voluntary prepayments on Swing Line
         Loans pursuant to such alternative notice arrangements and in such
         minimum amounts, if any, provided thereunder or in connection
         therewith.

                  (iii)    Term Loans. In addition to prepaying the Term Loans
         by paying Dollars to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the
         Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the Borrower
         may, at its option, upon notice to the Administrative Agent as provided
         below, prepay on any Business Day all, or from time to time any part
         of, the Term Loans (subject to the limitations sets forth below);
         provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
         Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., two (2) Business Days
         prior to the date of prepayment, and (ii) any such partial prepayment
         shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of
         $1,000,000 in excess thereof, or such lesser amount as would reduce the
         Term Loans to $0. Such notice shall specify the proposed effective date
         of such prepayment, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to
         be prepaid on such date and the interest to be paid on the prepayment
         date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, which shall
         be the last day of the Interest Period therefor. The Administrative
         Agent will promptly notify the Credit-Linked Lenders of any such notice
         of prepayment of the Term Loans. Once prepaid in accordance with this
         Section, such Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Upon any such
         prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each
         Credit-Linked Lender its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the prepayment
         of the Term Loans.

         (b)      Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

                  (i)      Revolving Commitments. If for any reason the Total
         Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving
         Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay
         Revolving Loans and/or the Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize
         the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess;
         provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash
         Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.07(b)(i)
         unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans and Swing
         Line Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate
         Revolving Commitments then in effect.

                  (ii)     Credit-Linked Commitments. If for any reason the
         Outstanding Amount of (A) all Credit-Linked Letters of Credit and (B)
         the aggregate of the Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amounts exceeds the
         Total Credit-Linked Deposit, the Borrower shall immediately pay the
         Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amounts and/or Cash Collateralize the
         Credit-Linked Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount equal to such
         excess.

                  (iii)    Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts
         required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(i) shall be applied to
         Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and
         all Swing Line Loans have been repaid) to Cash Collateralize L/C
         Obligations. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section
         2.07(b)(ii) shall be applied to the Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amounts
         and (after all Unreimbursed Credit-Linked Amounts have been repaid) to
         Cash Collateralize the Credit-Linked Letters of Credit.

         Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments
         shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Rate
         Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments
         under this Section 2.07(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but
         otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by
         interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of
         prepayment.

2.08     Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

         (a)      Optional Reductions of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower
may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments to an amount not less than the Outstanding Amount of Revolving
Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations; provided that (i) any such notice
shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon five (5)
Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such
partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to
any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit
Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the
amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders
of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be
applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata
Share. All fees accrued with respect thereto until the effective date of any
termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination.

         (b)      Optional Reduction of Credit-Linked Commitments. The Borrower
may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate
Credit-Linked Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate
Credit-Linked Commitments to an amount not less than the Credit-Linked
Obligations; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon five (5) Business Days prior to
the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be
in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof, or such lesser amount as would reduce the Aggregate
Credit-Linked Commitments to zero and (iii) the Borrower shall not direct the
Administrative Agent to reduce the Aggregate Credit-Linked Commitments if, after
giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate Credit-Linked Obligations would
exceed the Aggregate Credit-Linked Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Credit-Linked Lenders of any such notice of termination or
reduction of the Aggregate Credit-Linked Commitments. Any such reduction or
termination of the Aggregate Credit-Linked Commitments shall be applied to the
Credit-Linked Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share, and the
Administrative Agent shall return all amounts in the Credit-Linked Deposit in
the amount of such reduction or termination to the Credit-Linked Lenders in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. Once reduced in accordance with
this Section 2.08(b), the Credit-Linked Commitments may not be increased. All
fees accrued with respect thereto until the effective date of any termination or
reduction of the Aggregate Credit-Linked Commitments shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination or reduction. Upon any such termination or
reduction, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Credit-Linked
Lender Dollars in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account equal to its Pro Rata Share
of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Credit-Linked Commitments.

         (c)      Mandatory Reductions of Credit-Linked Deposits and Term Loans.
The Borrower shall repay the Term Loans and/or permanently reduce the Aggregate
Credit-Linked Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08(b) on December 31 of each
fiscal year such that the aggregate of the Credit-Linked Deposits and the Term
Loans then outstanding shall not exceed the following amounts as of the
following dates:

         (A) each Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear
         interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest

                  (ii)     Interest on each Revolving Loan and Swing Line Loan
         shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
         applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.

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

         (c)      Interest on Credit-Linked L/C Borrowings and Credit-Linked L/C
Advances.

<PAGE>

                  (i)      Each Credit-Linked L/C Borrowing shall bear interest
         on the outstanding principal amount thereof (A) from and including the
         applicable Credit-Linked L/C Borrowing date to and excluding the date
         six (6) Business Days thereafter at an interest rate per annum equal at
         all times to the Base Rate plus 3.00%, and (B) from and including the
         sixth Business Day after the applicable Credit-Linked L/C Borrowing
         date at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the Default
         Rate.

                  (ii)     Each Credit-Linked L/C Advance shall bear interest on
         the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a
         rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such
         Interest Period plus (B) 3.00%.

         (d)      Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount

times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Laws.

2.11     Fees.

         In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of
Section 2.03 and subsections (k) and (l) of Section 2.05:

                  (a)      Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the
         Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with
         its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the product of (i) the
         Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the
         Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (y) the Outstanding
         Amount of Revolving Loans and (z) the Outstanding Amount of L/C
         Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the
         Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of
         the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable
         quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June,
         September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur
         after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee
         shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in
         the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall
         be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each
         period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For
         purposes of clarification, Swing Line Loans shall not be considered
         outstanding for purposes of determining the unused portion of the
         Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

                  (b)      Fee Letter. The Borrower shall pay to BAS and the
         Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the
         amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall
         be fully earned when paid and shall be non-refundable for any reason
         whatsoever.

2.12     Computation of Interest and Fees.

         All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is
determined by Bank of America's "prime rate" shall be made on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall
accrue on each Credit-Linked L/C Advance or Loan for the day on which the
Credit-Linked L/C

<PAGE>

Advance or Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Credit-Linked L/C Advance or
Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Credit-Linked L/C
Advance, Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Credit-Linked L/C
Advance or Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear
interest for one day.

2.13     Evidence of Debt.

         (a)      The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced
by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the
Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records
maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive
absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders
to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record
or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the
obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any
Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note,
which shall evidence such Lender's Loans in addition to such accounts or
records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, be
in the form of Exhibit E-1 (a "Revolving Note") and (ii) in the case of Swing
Line Loans, be in the form of Exhibit E-2 (a "Swing Line Note"). Furthermore,
the Credit-Linked Deposit of, and the obligations of the Borrower to pay
Credit-Linked L/C Advances and Term Loans to, each Credit-Linked Lender shall be
evidenced by a Credit-Linked Note in the form of Exhibit E-3 (a "Credit-Linked
Note") executed by the Borrower. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note
and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its
Loans and payments with respect thereto.

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

2.14     Payments Generally.

         (a)      All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent's
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on
the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
the L/C Issuer or the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer, as the case may be, its
applicable share or each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as
provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to
such Lender's Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent
after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and
any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

         (b)      Subject to the definition of "Interest Period", if any payment
to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day,
payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

         (c)      If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C
Borrowings, Credit-Linked L/C Borrowings, interest and fees

<PAGE>

then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward costs and
expenses (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article III)
incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, (ii) second, toward
repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal, L/C Borrowings and
Credit-Linked L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings and
Credit-Linked L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

         (d)      Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the
Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it
to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the
case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume
that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such
payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make
available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the
extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds, then:

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

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

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

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

         (f)      The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to
fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to fund
participations in Credit-Linked Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation in
Letters of

<PAGE>

Credit or Swing Line Loans or to fund participations in Credit-Linked Letters of
Credit on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, purchase
its participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans or purchase
participations in Credit-Linked Letters of Credit.

         (g)      Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to
obtain the funds for any Loan or the Credit-Linked Deposit in any particular
place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has
obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or the Credit-Linked Deposit in
any particular place or manner.

2.15     Sharing of Payments.

         If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall
obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C
Obligations, Credit-Linked L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it
(but not including any amounts applied by the Swing Line Lender to outstanding
Swing Line Loans), any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the
exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share
(or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately
(a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the
other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such
subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations, Credit-Linked L/C
Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect
of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of
them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances
described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by
the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be
rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the
purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying
Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from
the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further
interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject
to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and
binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this
Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or
repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section
shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests,
demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect
to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the
purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

                                   ARTICLE III

                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01     Taxes.

         (a)      Subject to Section 11.15 and except as provided in this
Section 3.01, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of
the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender under any Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present

<PAGE>

or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees,
withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent, each Issuer and each Lender,
taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income or overall gross
receipts, and franchise taxes and similar taxes imposed on it, by the
jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the
Administrative Agent, such Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, is
organized or maintains a lending office or maintained a lending office from
which Credit Extensions were made (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies,
imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If any Loan Party shall
be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any
Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and
such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions,
(iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and
(iv) within thirty days after the date of such payment, such Loan Party shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such
Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof.

         (b)      In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or
future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes
or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan
Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter
referred to as "Other Taxes").

         (c)      The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent,
each Issuer and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes
(including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such
Issuer and such Lender and (ii) any liability (including additions to tax,
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in
each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided the
Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender, as the case may be, provides
the Borrower with a written record therefor setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this subsection (c)
shall be made within thirty days after the date the Lender, the Issuer or the
Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.

         (d)      Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(c) with respect
to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable commercial
efforts (subject to such Lender's overall internal policies of general
application) to designate another lending office for any Loan, Letter of Credit
or Credit-Linked Letter of Credit affected by such event with the object of
avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made
on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and
its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.01(c) shall
affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such
Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) and Section 3.01(c).

         (e)      Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the
contrary, any indemnity with respect to taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any
Governmental Authority on any payment made by any Loan Party to or for the
account of the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender under any Loan
Document, or any liabilities with

<PAGE>

respect thereto, shall be governed solely and exclusively by this Section 3.01
and Section 11.15.

3.02     Illegality.

         If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful,
or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar
Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar
Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on
the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate
a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such
notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be
materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.03     Inability to Determine Rates.

         If the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that for any reason
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar
Rate Loan, or that the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period
with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of
the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until
the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke (without regard to any notice period that may otherwise be
required hereunder) any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the
amount specified therein.

3.04     Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.

         (a)      If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or such
Lender's compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such
Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate
Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or
a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection
with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any
such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other
Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 and Section 11.15 shall govern), (ii) changes in
the basis of taxation of overall net income, overall gross income, franchise
taxes or similar taxes by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any
political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is
organized or has its Lending Office or maintained a lending office from which
Credit Extensions were made, and (iii) reserve requirements utilized, as to
Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate), then from
time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such
increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

<PAGE>

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

         (c)      The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender
pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or (b) for any such increased cost or reduction
incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such
Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand,
compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such
increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.05     Funding Losses.

         Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and
hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or reasonable expense actually
incurred by it as a result of:

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

                  (b)      any reduction of the Total Credit-Linked Deposits on
         a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor;

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

                  (d)      any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day
         other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of
         a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.16;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of
funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any
customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the
foregoing.

         For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the
Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining
the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in
the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a
comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so
funded.

3.06     Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

         (a)      A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional
amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such
Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

         (b)      Upon any Lender's making a claim for compensation under
Section 3.01 or 3.04, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with
Section 11.16.

3.07     Survival.

         All of the Borrower's obligations under this Article III shall survive
the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the termination of the
Credit-Linked Commitments and the Credit-Linked Deposits and repayment of all
other Obligations hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    GUARANTY

4.01     The Guaranty.

         Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each
Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract, and the
Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as
surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at
stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof.
The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid
in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the
Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any
demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in
full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance
with the terms of such extension or renewal.

         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in
any other of the Loan Documents or Swap Contracts, the obligations of each
Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to
an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such
obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable
provisions of any applicable state law.

4.02     Obligations Unconditional.

         The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and
several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or Swap
Contracts, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any
substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or
security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the
Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of
subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or
any other Guarantor for amounts paid

<PAGE>

under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full
and the Commitments have expired or terminated. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the
liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and
unconditional as described above:

                  (a)      at any time or from time to time, without notice to
         any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any
         of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance
         shall be waived;

                  (b)      any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of
         any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and
         any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or
         instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts
         shall be done or omitted;

                  (c)      the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be
         accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented
         or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan
         Documents, any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Lender, or
         any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument
         referred to in the Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts shall be
         waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security
         therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part
         or otherwise dealt with;

                  (d)      any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the
         Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of
         the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

                  (e)      any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void
         or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any
         creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of
         any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any
         Guarantor).

         With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby
expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all
notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under
any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any
Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument
referred to in the Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts, or against any other
Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

4.03     Reinstatement.

         The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by
or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result
of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each
Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender
on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such
costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such
payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

4.04     Certain Additional Waivers.

<PAGE>

         Each Guarantor further agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right
of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of
rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of
rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.

4.05     Remedies.

         The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as
between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due
and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become
automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section
9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from
becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in
the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable
by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors
for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their
obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral
Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in
accordance with the terms thereof.

4.06     Rights of Contribution.

         The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor
shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Guarantor shall have a
right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other
Guarantor's Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The
payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 4.06 shall be
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time
as the Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or
terminated, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under
this Section 4.06 against any other Guarantor until such Obligations have been
paid in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated. For purposes of
this Section 4.06, (a) "Excess Payment" shall mean the amount paid by any
Guarantor in excess of its Ratable Share of any Guaranteed Obligations; (b)
"Ratable Share" shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of
Obligations, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such
payment of Guaranteed Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate
present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the
amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent,
subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the
obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the
aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of all
of the Loan Parties exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities,
but excluding the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder) of the Loan
Parties; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Ratable Shares
of the Guarantors in respect of any payment of Obligations, any Guarantor that
became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment shall be deemed to
have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information
for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be
utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such payment; (c) "Contribution
Share" shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by
any other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of
such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair
salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all
debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such
Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair
salable value of all assets and other properties of the Loan Parties other than
the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and
liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated
liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Loan Parties) of the Loan
Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that,
for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Guarantors in respect
of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a

<PAGE>

Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to
have been a Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial
information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor
shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment; and
(d) "Guaranteed Obligations" shall mean the Obligations guaranteed by the
Guarantors pursuant to this Article IV. This Section 4.06 shall not be deemed to
affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that
any Guarantor may have under Law against the Borrower in respect of any payment
of Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of
contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if
ever, that such Guarantor shall be relieved of its obligations in accordance
with Section 10.11.

4.07     Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

         The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations
whenever arising.

         insurance) on behalf of the Lenders.

                  (j)      Closing Certificate. Receipt by the Administrative
         Agent of a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower

Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the
Required Revolving Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

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

                  (ii)     require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C
         Obligations (in an amount equal to the then applicable Outstanding
         Amount thereof).

         (b)      If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the
Required Credit-Linked Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

<PAGE>

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

                  (ii)     require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the
         Credit-Linked L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then
         applicable Outstanding Amount thereof);

         (c)      If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the
Required Lenders, take any and all of the following actions:

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

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

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of
the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions and any obligation of the
Credit-Linked L/C Issuer to make Credit-Linked Credit Extensions shall
automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans

Obligations and Credit-Linked L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically
become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender.

the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Required Credit-Linked
Lenders, withdraw from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and distribute to the
Credit-Linked Lenders on a pro rata basis an amount equal to the excess of the
Aggregate Credit-Linked Commitments over the Outstanding Amount of the
Credit-Linked Obligations.

9.03     Application of Funds.

         After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after
the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C
Obligations and Credit-Linked L/C Obligations have automatically been required
to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02), any
amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent in the following order:

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

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

<PAGE>

         Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting

         premiums and scheduled periodic payments, and any interest accrued
         thereon, due under any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any
         Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, to the extent such Swap Contract
         is permitted by Section 8.03(d), ratably among the Lenders (and, in the
         case of such Swap Contracts, Affiliates of Lenders) in proportion to
         the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them;

         Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
         unpaid principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings and Credit-Linked L/C
         Borrowings and breakage, termination or other payments, and any
         interest accrued thereon, due under any Swap Contract between any Loan
         Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, to the extent such
         Swap Contract is permitted by Section 8.03(d), and to Cash
         Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the
         aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit and to Cash Collateralize
         that portion of the Credit-Linked Obligations comprised of the
         aggregate undrawn amount of Credit-Linked Letters of Credit, ratably
         among the Lenders (and, in the case of such Swap Contracts, Affiliates
         of Lenders) in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
         clause Fourth held by them; and

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

         Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the
aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above
shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit, as
applicable, as they occur. Subject to Section 2.05(c), amounts used to Cash
Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Credit-Linked Letters of Credit
pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such
Credit-Linked Letters of Credit, as applicable, as they occur. If any amount
remains on deposit as Cash Collateral for any Letter of Credit after such Letter
of Credit has either been fully drawn or expired, then (i) if any other
Obligations (other than Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized)
are outstanding, such remaining amount shall be applied to such other
Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above or (ii) if all of the
Obligations (other than the Letters of Credit that have been Cash
Collateralized) have been indefeasibly paid in full, such remaining amount shall
be paid to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law. If any amount remains
on deposit as Cash Collateral for any Credit-Linked Letter of Credit after such
Credit-Linked Letter of Credit has either been fully drawn or expired, then (i)
if any other Obligations (other than Credit-Linked Letters of Credit that have
been Cash Collateralized) are outstanding, such remaining amount shall be
applied to such other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above or (ii)
if all of the Obligations (other than the Credit-Linked Letters of Credit that
have been Cash Collateralized) have been indefeasibly paid in full, such
remaining amount shall be paid to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

                                    ARTICLE X

                              ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.01    Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

         (a)      Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those

<PAGE>

expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed
to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" herein and in
the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not
intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used
merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

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

         (c)      The Credit-Linked L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the
Credit-Linked Lenders with respect to any Credit-Linked Letters of Credit issued
by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer
shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative
Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by
the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer in connection with Credit-Linked Letters of Credit
issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements
for letters of credit pertaining to such Credit-Linked Letters of Credit as
fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in this Article X and in the
definition of "Agent-Related Person" included the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer with
respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with
respect to the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer.

         (d)      Each Credit-Linked Lender hereby consents to and approves the
terms of the Money Market Account Agreement. By execution hereof, the
Credit-Linked Lenders authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to enter
into the Money Market Account Agreement on behalf of the Credit-Linked Lenders.

10.02    Delegation of Duties.

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

10.03    Liability of Administrative Agent.

         No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties
expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender
or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by
any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to
or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or

<PAGE>

sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of
any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any
obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

10.04    Reliance by Administrative Agent.

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

         (b)      For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Section 5.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by
or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date
specifying its objection thereto.

10.05    Notice of Default.

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

10.06    Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.

         Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any
representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent
hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person
to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have
disclosed material information in their possession.

<PAGE>

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

10.07    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

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

10.08    Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.

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

<PAGE>

were not the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Credit-Linked L/C
Issuer, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Bank of America in its
individual capacity.

10.09    Successor Administrative Agent.

         The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty
days' notice to the Lenders; provided that any such resignation by Bank of
America shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer, Credit-Linked L/C
Issuer and Swing Line Lender. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this
Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor
administrative agent for the Lenders, which appointment of such successor
administrative agent shall require the consent of the Borrower at all times
other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the
Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor
administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation
of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after
consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent
from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor
administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer, Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and Swing
Line Lender and the respective terms "Administrative Agent", "L/C Issuer",
"Credit-Linked L/C Issuer" and "Swing Line Lender" shall mean such successor
administrative agent, Letter of Credit issuer, Credit-Linked Letter of Credit
issuer and swing line lender, and the retiring Administrative Agent's
appointment, powers and duties in such capacities shall be terminated without
any other further act or deed on its behalf. After any retiring Administrative
Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article X and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent
under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted
appointment as Administrative Agent by the date thirty days following a retiring
Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as
provided for above.

10.10    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

         In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, L/C Obligation or
Credit-Linked L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed
or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

                  (a)      to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the
         principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C
         Obligations, Credit-Linked L/C Obligations and all other Obligations
         that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
         necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and
         the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
         compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and
         the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and
         all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under
         Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.11 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial
         proceeding; and

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

<PAGE>

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 11.04.

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

10.11    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

         The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its
option and in its discretion,

                  (a)      to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or
         held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon
         termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and payment in full
         of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations)
         and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and
         Credit-Linked Letters of Credit, (ii) that is transferred or to be
         transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted
         hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Involuntary
         Disposition, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 11.01;

                  (b)      to subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to or
         held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder
         of any Lien on such Property that is permitted by Section 8.01(i); and

                  (c)      to release any Guarantor from its obligations under
         the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a
         transaction permitted hereunder.

         Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required
         Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to
         release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of
         Property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the
         Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.11.

10.12    Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers.

         None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or
signature pages of this Agreement as a "syndication agent," "documentation
agent," "co-agent," "book manager," "lead manager," "arranger," "lead arranger"
or "co-arranger" shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such
Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the
foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or
other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

11.01    Amendments, Etc.

         No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required
Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and
acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

                  (a)      extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or
         reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 9.02) without
         the written consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that
         a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.02 or of any
         Default or Event of Default or a mandatory reduction in Commitments is
         not considered an extension or increase in Commitments of any Lender);

                  (b)      postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any
         other Loan Document for any payment of principal (excluding mandatory
         prepayments), interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or
         any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the
         written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

                  (c)      reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest
         specified herein on, any Loan, L/C Borrowing or Credit-Linked L/C
         Borrowing, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any
         other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly
         affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the
         Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of "Default
         Rate" or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the
         Default Rate;

                  (d)      change Section 2.13 or Section 9.03 in a manner that
         would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without
         the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

                  (e)      change any provision of this Section or the
         definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof
         specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive
         or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or
         grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each Lender
         directly affected thereby;

                  (f)      except in connection with a Disposition permitted
         under Section 8.05, release all or substantially all of the Collateral
         without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

                  (g)      release the Borrower or, except in connection with a
         merger or consolidation permitted under Section 8.04 or a Disposition
         permitted under Section 8.05, all or substantially all of the
         Guarantors, from its or their obligations under the Loan Documents
         without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
         or

                  (h)      without the consent of Lenders (other than Defaulting
         Lenders) holding in the aggregate at least a majority of the Revolving
         Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have

<PAGE>

         been terminated, the outstanding Revolving Loans (and participations in
         any Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations)), (i) waive any Default or
         Event of Default for purposes of Section 5.02 for purposes of any
         Revolving Loan borrowing or L/C Credit Extension and (ii) amend,
         change, waive, discharge or terminate Section 2.01(a), 2.02, 2.03,
         2.05(b)(i) or 2.06 or any term, covenant or agreement contained in
         Article VIII or Article IX;

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above,
affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter
of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by
it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by
the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect
the rights or duties of the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any
Credit-Linked Letter of Credit Application relating to any Credit-Linked Letter
of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent
shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the
Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender
under this Agreement; (iv) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders
required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (v) the Fee Letter may be
amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only
by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not
be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in
certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as
such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the
Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of
the United States Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions
set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders shall determine whether or not to
allow a Loan Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all of the
Lenders.

11.02    Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.

         (a)      General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing

faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or (subject to
subsection (c) below) electronic mail address, and all notices and other
communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be
made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

                  (i)      if to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C
         Issuer, the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, to the
         address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number
         specified for such Person on Schedule 11.02 or to such other address,
         facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall
         be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties; and

                  (ii)     if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile
         number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its
         Administrative Questionnaire (which Administrative Questionnaires shall
         be provided to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent upon request by
         the Borrower) or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic
         mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party
         in a notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer,
         the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.

<PAGE>

         All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given
or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party
hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on
behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four Business
Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile,
when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by

communications to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Credit-Linked
L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Article II shall not be
effective until actually received by such Person. In no event shall a voicemail
message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder.

         (b)      Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan
Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of
any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the
same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all
Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a
manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request
or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document
or signature.

         (c)      Limited Use of Electronic Mail. Electronic mail and internet
and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications,
such as financial statements and other information as provided in Section 7.02,
and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may
not be used for any other purpose.

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

11.03    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

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

11.04    Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

         The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent
for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of
the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs
and costs and expenses in connection with the use of Intralinks, Inc.

<PAGE>

or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender
for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies

expenses incurred during any "workout" or restructuring in respect of the
Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and
expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and
appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public
accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 11.04 shall be payable within
twenty (20) days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall
survive the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of
all other Obligations.

11.05    Indemnification by the Borrower.

         Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated,
the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person,
each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
counsel, trustees, investment advisors, agents and attorneys-in-fact
(collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments,
suits, reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs)
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out
of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance
or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or
instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment,
Loan, Letter of Credit or Credit-Linked Letter of Credit or the use or proposed
use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor
a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit and any refusal by the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer to honor a demand for
payment under a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such
Credit-Linked Letter of Credit), (c) any actual or alleged presence or release
of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or
operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or
any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation
for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or
proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the
foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (x) are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) arise
out of a dispute solely between two or more Indemnitees not caused by or
involving in any way the Borrower or any Subsidiary. No Indemnitee shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or
other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee
have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in
connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All
amounts due under this Section 11.05 shall be payable within twenty (20) days
after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of

<PAGE>

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

11.06    Payments Set Aside.

         To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is
made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or
any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of
such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then
(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b)
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its
applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to
time in effect.

11.07    Successors and Assigns.

         (a)      The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance
with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of
participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this
Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject
to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this
Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

         (b)      Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for
purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations,
Credit-Linked L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it);
provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to
it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (g) of this Section) with respect to a
Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of
the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than
$5,000,000 in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loans and $1,000,000 in the
case of an assignment of Term Loans or any Credit-Linked Commitment unless each
of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans and Commitments
assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (x) apply to rights in respect
of Swing Line Loans or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion
of its rights and obligations among separate tranches on a pro rata basis;

<PAGE>

(iii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender unless the Person
that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed
assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties
to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; provided that (a) no such fee shall be payable in the case of an
assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to a Lender, and (b) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a
Lender to more than one Approved Fund managed by the same investment adviser
(which Approved Funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single such $3,500
fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments. Subject to
acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a
party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 11.04 and 11.05
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section.

         (c)      The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amounts of the Loans, L/C Obligations and Credit-Linked L/C
Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

         (d)      Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice
to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates
or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C
Obligations, Credit-Linked L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to
it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in clauses (a) through (g) of the first proviso to Section 11.01 that
directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section,
the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04

<PAGE>

and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.

         (e)      A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign
Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 11.15 as though it were a Lender.

         (f)      Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and any
pledge of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender as collateral
security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other
representative of, such holders; provided that no such pledge or assignment
shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

         (g)      As used herein, the following terms have the following
meanings:

                  "Eligible Assignee" means (a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a
         Lender; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a
         natural person) approved by (i) the Administrative Agent, the L/C
         Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, and (ii) unless an Event of Default
         has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such approval not to
         be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that notwithstanding the
         foregoing, "Eligible Assignee" shall not include the Borrower or any of
         the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

                  "Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
         (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise
         investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the
         ordinary course of its business.

                  "Approved Fund" means any Fund that is administered or managed
         by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an
         Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

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

<PAGE>

Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Credit-Linked L/C
Issuer hereunder with respect to all Credit-Linked Letters of Credit outstanding
as of the effective date of its resignation as Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and all
Credit-Linked L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to
require the Credit-Linked Lenders to fund risk participations in Credit-Linked
Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.06(b)). If Bank of America resigns as
Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender
provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and
outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to
require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in
outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

         (i)      The Credit-Linked Deposit Account funded by any Credit-Linked
Lender pursuant to Section 2.01(b) shall not be released in connection with any
assignment of its Credit-Linked Commitment but shall instead be purchased by the
relevant assignee and continue to be held for application in accordance with the
terms of Section 2.05 in respect of the Credit-Linked Commitment assigned to
such assignee.

11.08    Confidentiality.

         Each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Credit-Linked L/C
Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders agrees to (and to cause its and
its Affiliates' directors, officers and employees to) maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees
and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential and that the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any
Lender, as applicable, shall be responsible for any violation of this Section
11.08 by such Persons); (b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over such Person; (c) to the extent required by applicable
laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any
other party to this Agreement; (e) to the extent reasonably required in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder;
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty's or
prospective counterparty's professional advisor) to any credit derivative
transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties; (g) with the prior
written consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii)
becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis from a source other than the Borrower; or (i) to the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally
recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender's or
its Affiliates' investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with
respect to such Lender or its Affiliates (it being understood that the Persons
to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of
such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential). In
addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of
this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors,
similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and
management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the
Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means all
information received from or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or its
business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person

<PAGE>

has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, "Information" shall not
include, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without
limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the "tax treatment" and
"tax structure" (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in
either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure
of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply
to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax
treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Credit-Linked
Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby.

11.09    Set-off.

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

11.10    Interest Rate Limitation.

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

11.11    Counterparts.

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

11.12    Integration.

         This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the
complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof
and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements,

<PAGE>

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

11.13    Survival of Representations and Warranties.

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

11.14    Severability.

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

11.15    Tax Forms.

                  (a)      (i) Each Lender that is not a "United States person"
         within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code
         (a "Foreign Lender") shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior
         to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Internal
         Revenue Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein),
         two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any
         successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to
         an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to
         be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this
         Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all
         payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to
         this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and
         the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an
         exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any
         exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Internal
         Revenue Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign
         Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such
         additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or
         such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the
         relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available
         under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such
         evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative
         Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States
         withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign
         Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify
         the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would
         modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C)
         take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in
         the reasonable judgment of such Lender,

<PAGE>

         and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its
         Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the
         Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts
         payable to such Foreign Lender.

                  (ii)     Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or
         ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any
         sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents
         (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender),
         shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign
         Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of
         any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be
         necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the
         reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed
         copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such
         Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums
         paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own
         account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly
         signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto),
         together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such
         form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required
         under the Internal Revenue Code, to establish that such Lender is not
         acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums
         payable to such Lender.

                  (iii)    The Borrower shall not be required to pay any
         additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 3.01 or any
         indemnity payments under Section 3.01(c) (A) with respect to any Taxes
         required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information,
         certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an
         IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 11.15(a) or (B) if such Lender
         shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section
         11.15(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the
         requirement of this Section 11.15(a) on the date such Lender became a
         Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment
         under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 11.15(a) shall
         relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to
         Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any
         applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or
         any change in the interpretation, administration or application
         thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms,
         certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the
         fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such
         Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not
         subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.

                  (iv)     The Administrative Agent may, without reduction,
         withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any
         payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the
         Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section
         11.15(a).

                  (b)      Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each
         Lender that is a "United States person" within the meaning of Section
         7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the
         Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9.
         If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative
         Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount
         equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the
         Internal Revenue Code, without reduction.

                  (c)      If any Governmental Authority asserts that the
         Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as
         the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for
         the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the
         Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest,
         any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the
         Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and

<PAGE>

         expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The
         obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the
         termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, repayment of all
         other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative
         Agent.

11.16    Replacement of Lenders.

                  Under any circumstances set forth herein providing that the
         Borrower shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party to this
         Agreement, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the
         Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to
         assign its Commitment and outstanding Loans (with the assignment fee to
         be paid by the Borrower in such instance) pursuant to Section 11.07(b)
         to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by the
         Borrower; provided, however, that if the Borrower elects to exercise
         such right with respect to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.06(b), it
         shall be obligated to replace all Lenders that have made similar
         requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04. The
         Borrower shall (x) pay in full all principal, interest, fees and other
         amounts owing to such Lender through the date of replacement (including
         any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05), (y) provide appropriate
         assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to the
         L/C Issuer, the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender as
         each may reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation
         to fund participation interests in any L/C Obligations, Credit-Linked
         L/C Obligations or any Swing Line Loans then outstanding, and (z)
         release such Lender from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Any
         Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and
         Assumption with respect to such Lender's Commitment and outstanding
         Loans and participations in L/C Obligations, Credit-Linked L/C
         Obligations and Swing Line Loans.

11.17    Governing Law.

         (a)      THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, the LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK applicable to agreements made
and to be performed entirely within such State; PROVIDED THAT THE PARTIES HERETO
SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

11.20    USA Patriot Act Notice.

         Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf
of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of
the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that

                                  Schedule 8.08
                    TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND INSIDERS

-        In February 2000, Borrower submitted a written notice to Gary A. Tucci,
a member of Borrower's board of directors and an officer of Potelco, Inc., a
Loan Party ("Potelco"), seeking indemnification from him for certain accounts
receivable losses sustained by Borrower in connection with its acquisition of
Potelco. The total amount outstanding as a result of this indemnification claim
as of the Closing Date is $144,104. As of the Closing Date, Borrower is
negotiating the settlement of this claim with Mr. Tucci.

-        From time to time, Borrower or a Subsidiary may enter into agreements
to the extent permitted by this Agreement (other than this Section 8.08) with
and/or take a minority ownership position in companies owned or controlled by
family members of officers of such Person for purposes of obtaining benefits
available in connection with governmental programs, organizations or incentives
(including, by way of illustration and without limitation, such programs or
incentives relating to small businesses or transactions with women- or
minority-owned businesses).

-        From time to time and as part of the arms-length negotiation of the
acquisition of Subsidiaries, Borrower or its Subsidiaries may have entered into
transactions with certain officers of its Subsidiaries (including, by way of
illustration and without limitation, leases or rental agreements with such
officers) that, when taken outside the context of the acquisition as a whole,
may not be viewed as being substantially as favorable to Borrower as would be
obtainable by it in an arms-length transaction with a different third-party.

                         MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

Account No. [___________]                                      December __, 2003

         1.       The amount deposited in this Bank of America, N.A. (the
                  "Bank"), Money Market Account (the "Account") by Bank of
                  America, N.A., as Administrative Agent under that certain
                  Credit Agreement dated as of November __, 2003 (the
                  "Administrative Agent"), on November __, 2003 (the "Initial
                  Deposit Date") is One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars
                  ($150,000,000.00). The Bank will designate the Account on its
                  official records as the "Bank of America, N.A. as
                  Administration Agent Quanta Services, Inc. Credit Linked
                  Deposit Account".

         2.       The Account shall bear interest during each Interest Period
                  (as defined below) at an interest rate per annum at a rate
                  equal to the LIBO Rate (as defined below) minus fifteen (15)
                  basis points until the Account balance is reduced to zero ($0)
                  (the "Closure Date"). The Bank will accrue interest on the
                  closing balance of the Account daily on the basis of a 360-day
                  year.

                  "Interest Period" means the period commencing on the Initial
                  Deposit Date or the end of the immediately preceding Interest
                  Period, as applicable, and ending on the date three months
                  thereafter; provided that:

                  (i)      any Interest Period that would otherwise end on a day
                  that is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next
                  succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in
                  another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period
                  shall end on the next preceding Business Day;

                  (ii)     any Interest Period that begins on the last Business
                  Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no
                  numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end
                  of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of
                  the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; and

                  (iii)    notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, the final
                  Interest Period shall be the period commencing on the end of
                  the immediately preceding Interest Period and ending on the
                  Closure Date (the "Final Interest Period").

                  "LIBO Rate" means

                           (c)      if the rates referenced in the preceding
                           clauses (a) and (b) are not available, the rate per
                           annum determined by the Bank as the rate of interest
                           at which deposits in Dollars for delivery on the

                           4:00 p.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to
                           the first day of such Interest Period, and

                  determined by the Bank as provided in clause (a), (b), or (c)

                  determination that such Interest Period will end on the date
                  three months after the start thereof (taking into account the

                  to the bank account designated in writing by the
                  Administrative Agent.

         4.       The Bank reserves the right to require the Administrative
                  Agent to give seven days' advance written notice of any
                  withdrawal or transfer from the Account.

         5.       The Administrative Agent may make up to six withdrawals or
                  transfers from the Account by telephone during each calendar
                  month. During each calendar month the Administrative Agent
                  also may make transfers from the Account to another account of
                  the Administrative Agent at the Bank or withdrawals (i.e.,
                  payments directly to the Administrative Agent) when such

                  including the immediately preceding quarterly interest payment
                  date to but not including the relevant withdrawal or transfer
                  date will be paid by the Bank to the Administrative Agent on
                  the next quarterly interest payment date or the Closure Date,
                  as the case may be.

         7.       The Bank represents that (a) this Account creates a
                  debtor-creditor relationship between the Bank and the
                  Administrative Agent, (b) it treats the amount deposited in
                  the Account as a deposit liability on its balance sheet, (c)
                  the terms on which the Account is made available are
                  substantially similar to terms made available to other
                  institutional Bank customers for deposit accounts of the same
                  type, and (d) it classifies the Account as a "savings account"
                  under Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal
                  Reserve System.

         8.       The Bank agrees not to close the Account until the Closure
                  Date.

         9.       All notices required hereunder shall be personally delivered
                  or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight
                  courier, to the addresses on the signature page attached
                  hereto, or sent by facsimile to the fax numbers listed on the
                  signature page, provided by telephone to the telephone numbers
                  listed on the signature page, or to such other addresses as
                  the Bank and the Administrative Agent may specify from time to
                  time in writing. Notices and other communications shall be
                  effective (i) if mailed, upon the earlier of receipt or five
                  (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage
                  prepaid, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted, (iii) if
                  telephoned, when the telephonic message is received "live" by
                  an authorized recipient at the telephone number, or (iv) if
                  hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram,
                  lettergram or mailgram), when delivered. From time to time,
                  Administrative Agent will designate one or more authorized
                  signers on the Account by execution and delivery of signature
                  cards to the Bank.

                  held by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder
                  (collectively "Cash Collateral").

All of the foregoing property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other
than the Excluded Items, is hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Collateral"; Collateral described in clauses (h) and (i) may be referred to
herein as "Collateral Proceeds"). To have and to hold all and singular the
Collateral by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the
Secured Obligations, in trust for the benefit and security of the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations and for the uses
and purposes, and subject to the terms and provisions, set forth in this
Agreement and in the Credit Agreement. Any term of this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral does not include any of the Excluded
Items. The term "Excluded Items" means and includes all properties or assets
described above, whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired by such
Debtor, which by their terms or by reason of applicable law would become void or
voidable if a security interest therein were granted hereunder by such Debtor or
which cannot be granted, conveyed, mortgaged, transferred or assigned by this
Agreement or in which a security interest cannot effectively be granted
hereunder.

         2.2      Secured Obligations. The Collateral shall secure the following
obligations, indebtedness and liabilities, without duplication (all such
obligations, indebtedness and liabilities being hereinafter sometimes called the
"Secured Obligations"):

                  (including the L/C Issuer, the Credit-Linked L/C Issuer and
                  the Swing Line Lender) and the Administrative Agent under the
                  Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, but
                  not limited to, any interest accruing after the commencement
                  by or against any Loan Party of a proceeding under any Debtor
                  Relief Laws, regardless of whether such interest is an allowed
                  claim under such proceeding), whether now existing or
                  hereafter arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect,
                  absolute or contingent, howsoever evidenced, created, held or
                  acquired, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, or
                  joint and several, as such obligations may be amended,
                  modified, increased, extended, renewed or replaced from time
                  to time;

         (b)      all of the obligations owing by the Loan Parties under any
                  Swap Contract with any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender,
                  whether now existing or hereafter arising;

         (c)      all indemnity obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit
                  Agreement; and

         (d)      all costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement
                  and collection of the foregoing obligations, including
                  reasonable attorneys' fees.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Debtor represents and warrants
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Secured
Obligations, that so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding
and until all of the commitments relating thereto have been terminated:

         3.1      Title. Each of the Debtors owns or, with respect to Collateral
acquired after the date hereof, the Debtors will own, legally and beneficially,
the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, security interest, pledge, claim, or
other encumbrance or any right or option on the part of any third person to
purchase or otherwise acquire the Collateral or any part thereof; except for the
security interest granted hereunder and Permitted Liens. Each of the Debtors has
the unrestricted right to pledge the Collateral as contemplated hereby. No
effective financing statement, mortgage, or other instrument similar in effect
covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office,
except for (i) protective filings under true leases, (ii) filings filed in favor
of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Secured
Obligations relating to this Agreement, and (iii) filings, if any, with respect
to Permitted Liens.

         3.2      Organization and Authority. Neither the execution, delivery or
performance by the Debtors of this Agreement nor compliance by them with the
terms and provisions hereof, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein, will (i) contravene any applicable provision of any law,
statute, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any
court or governmental instrumentality; or (ii) conflict with or result in any
breach of any term, covenant condition or other provision of, or constitute a
default under, or (other than pursuant to the Collateral Documents) result in
the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien
upon any of the property or assets of any Debtor under the terms of any
contractual obligation to which any Debtor is a party or by which it or any of
its properties or assets are bound or to which it may be subject.

         3.3      Location of any Debtors. As of the date hereof, (i) the
principal place of business and chief executive office of each of the Debtors,
and the place where each of the Debtors keeps its books and records, is located
at the address set forth opposite the name of such Debtor on Schedule 6.20(c) to
the Credit Agreement and (ii) other than as set forth in Schedule 3.3 attached
hereto and made a part hereof, no Debtor has been a party to a merger,
consolidation or other change in structure or used any tradename in the prior
five years.

         3.4      Perfected Security Interest. This Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Debtors. This Agreement
creates in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of
Secured Obligations, a security interest in the Collateral which will be
perfected

                                       4
<PAGE>

upon the filing of financing statements under the UCC, subject only to Permitted
Liens, to the extent such security interests can be perfected by such filings
pursuant to the UCC.

         3.5      No Consents. No consent of, or notice to, any other Person and
no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with,
any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the grant by any
of the Debtors of the Liens granted hereby (excluding any notices required in
connection with Liens against any accounts or accounts receivable from any
governmental entity) or for the execution, delivery or performance of this
Agreement by any of the Debtors, other than the filing of financing statements
as provided in Section 3.4 above and except for such other consents, notices or
filings that have been obtained or made or that as of the date hereof are not
required to have been obtained or made and may be obtained or made, as the case
may be, when necessary.

SECTION 4. Covenants. Each Debtor covenants and agrees that so long as any of
the Secured Obligations remain outstanding and until all of the commitments
relating thereto have been terminated such Debtor shall:

         4.1      Encumbrances. Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement,
none of the Debtors shall create, permit, or suffer to exist, and each of the
Debtors shall defend the Collateral against, any Lien on the Collateral except
the pledge and security interest of the Administrative Agent hereunder except
for Permitted Liens, and shall defend the Debtors' rights in the Collateral and
the Administrative Agent's security interest in the Collateral against the
claims of all persons and entities (other than any person or entity claiming by,
through or under the Administrative Agent or any obligee of the Secured
Obligations).

         4.2      Sale of Collateral. None of the Debtors shall sell, assign, or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof except as permitted by
the Credit Agreement.

         4.3      Perfection of Security Interest. Each Debtor shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent such agreements, assignments or instruments
(including affidavits, notices, reaffirmations and amendments and restatements
of existing documents, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) and
do all such other things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem
necessary (i) to assure to the Administrative Agent the effectiveness and
priority of its security interests hereunder, including (A) such instruments as
the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request in order to
perfect and maintain the security interests granted hereunder in accordance with
the UCC, (B) with regard to Copyrights, a Notice of Grant of Security Interest
in Copyrights for filing with the United States Copyright Office in the form of
Schedule 4.3 attached hereto, (C) with regard to Patents, a Notice of Grant of
Security Interest in Patents for filing with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office in the form of Schedule 4.3 attached hereto and (D) with regard
to Trademarks registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and
all applications for Trademarks filed with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, a Notice of Grant of Security Interest in Trademarks for
filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in the form of
Schedule 4.3 attached hereto, (ii) to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and (iii) to otherwise protect and assure the Administrative Agent of its
rights and interests hereunder. To that end, each Debtor authorizes the
Administrative Agent to file one or more financing statements (with collateral
descriptions broader, including without limitation "all assets" and/or "all
personal property" collateral descriptions, and/or less specific than the
description of the Collateral contained herein) disclosing the Administrative
Agent's security interest in any or all of the Collateral of such Debtor without
such Debtor's signature thereon, and further each Debtor also hereby irrevocably
makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent, its nominee or any
other Person whom the Administrative Agent may designate, as such Debtor's
attorney-in-fact with full power and for the limited purpose to sign in the name
of such Debtor any such financing statements (including renewal statements),
amendments and supplements, notices or any similar documents that in the
Administrative Agent's reasonable discretion would be necessary or appropriate
in order to perfect and maintain perfection of the security interests granted
hereunder, such power, being coupled with an interest, being and remaining
irrevocable so long as the Secured Obligations remain unpaid and until the
commitments relating thereto shall have been terminated. Each Debtor hereby
agrees that a

                                       5
<PAGE>

carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any such
financing statement is sufficient for filing as a financing statement by the
Administrative Agent without notice thereof to such Debtor wherever the
Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion desire to file the same. In the
event for any reason the law of any jurisdiction other than New York becomes or
is applicable to the Collateral of any Debtor or any part thereof, or to any of
the Secured Obligations, such Debtor agrees to execute and deliver all such
instruments and to do all such other things as the Administrative Agent
reasonably deems necessary to preserve, protect and enforce the security
interests of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder under the law of such
other jurisdiction (and, if a Debtor shall fail to do so promptly upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may execute
any and all such requested documents on behalf of such Debtor pursuant to the
power of attorney granted hereinabove). If any Collateral is in the possession
or control of a Debtor's agents and the Administrative Agent so requests, such
Debtor agrees to notify such agents in writing of the Administrative Agent's
security interest therein and, upon the Administrative Agent's request, instruct
them to hold all such Collateral for the account of the holders of the Secured
Obligations and subject to the Administrative Agent's instructions.

         4.4      Instruments/Tangible Chattel Paper/Documents. If any amount
payable under and constituting Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any
Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, or if any property constituting Collateral
shall be stored or shipped subject to a Document, (i) ensure that such
Instrument, Tangible Chattel Paper or Document is either in the possession of
such Debtor at all times or, if requested by the Administrative Agent, is
immediately delivered to the Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) ensure that any Collateral
consisting of Tangible Chattel Paper is marked with a legend acceptable to the
Administrative Agent indicating the Administrative Agent's security interest in
such Tangible Chattel Paper.

         4.5      Control. Execute and deliver all agreements, assignments,
instruments or other documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
request for the purpose of obtaining and maintaining control within the meaning
of the UCC with respect to any Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts,
Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Rights and Electronic Chattel Paper.

         4.6      Notification. Each of the Debtors shall promptly after it has
knowledge thereof, notify the Administrative Agent of (i) any Lien upon or claim
made or threatened against the Collateral other than Permitted Liens, (ii) any
change in its principal place of business, its chief executive office or the
place where its books and records are maintained, (iii) any change in its name,
state of incorporation or organization, its type of entity or its taxpayer
identification number and (iv) a merger, consolidation or similar change in
structure.

         4.7      Commercial Tort Claims.

                  (a)      Promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing
                  of the initiation of any Commercial Tort Claim before any
                  Governmental Authority by or in favor of such Debtor or any of
                  its Subsidiaries seeking damages in excess of $500,000.

                  (b)      Execute and deliver such statements, documents and
                  notices and do and cause to be done all such things as the
                  Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary,
                  appropriate or convenient, or as are required by law, to
                  create, perfect and maintain the Administrative Agent's
                  security interest in any Commercial Tort Claim.

         4.8      Books and Records. Each of the Debtors shall mark its books
and records to reflect the security interest of the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the holders of the Secured Obligations under this Agreement.

         4.9      Receipt after Default. If any Collateral is received by any of
the Debtors during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Debtor shall pay
over to the Administrative Agent all such

                                       6
<PAGE>

Collateral on the day received, including the cash and checks endorsed by such
Debtor evidencing the Collateral. None of the Debtors shall commingle the
Collateral with any other finds, proceeds or monies of any of the Debtors, and
shall keep such proceeds separate and apart from any other funds, proceeds or
monies of any of the Debtors and shall hold the Collateral in trust for the
Administrative Agent until same shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent
as agreed to herein.

         4.10     Insurance. Each of the Debtors shall, at their own expense
(jointly and severally), maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral as
required by the Credit Agreement. All insurance proceeds with respect to any of
the Collateral shall be subject to the security interest of the Administrative
Agent hereunder.

SECTION 5. Rights of The Administrative Agent and Debtors.

         5.1      Power of Attorney. Each of the Debtors hereby irrevocably and
with the power of substitution constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent
on behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations and any officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead and in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, from time to time in
the Administrative Agent's discretion during the continuance of an Event of
Default and prior to the Collateral Termination Date, to take any and all action
and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and
right on behalf of such Debtor and in its own name to do any of the following
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and to
the extent permitted by applicable laws, without notice to or the consent of the
Debtor:

         (a)      to demand, sue for, collect, or receive in the name of such
                  Debtor or in its own name, any money or property at any time
                  payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of
                  the Collateral and, in connection therewith, endorse checks,
                  notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, or any other
                  instruments for the payment of money under the Collateral;

         (b)      to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests, or other
                  encumbrances (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed on

         (c)      (i) to direct any parties liable for any payment under any of

                  to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent
                  or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (ii) to receive
                  payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and
                  other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of
                  or arising out of any Collateral; (iii) to sign and endorse
                  any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications,
                  notices, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iv)
                  to commence and prosecute any suit; actions or proceedings at

                  recapitalization, or other readjustment of the issuer thereof
                  and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Collateral
                  with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar, or
                  other designated agency upon such terms as the Administrative
                  Agent may determine; (viii) to add or release any guarantor,
                  endorser, surety, or other party to any of the Collateral or

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner
                  thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative
                  Agent's option and the Debtors' expense (jointly and
                  severally), at any time, or from time to time, all acts and
                  things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to
                  protect, preserve, or realize upon the Collateral and the
                  Administrative Agent's security interest; (x) to execute and

                  statements, renewal financing statements, security and pledge
                  agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements,
                  instruments and documents that the Administrative Agent may
                  reasonably deem appropriate in order to perfect and maintain
                  the security interests and liens granted in this Agreement and
                  in order to fully consummate all of the transactions

                  the Administrative Agent or one or more of the holders of the
                  Secured Obligations or into the name of any transferee to whom
                  the Collateral or any part thereof may be sold pursuant to
                  Section 6.2 hereof.

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or
withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges, and options
expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement,
and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any
error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or in
its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions constituting or
resulting from its willful misconduct or gross negligence. This power of
attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve,
and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.

         5.2      Performance by The Administrative Agent of the Debtors'
Secured Obligations. On failure of any Debtor to perform any of the covenants
and agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole
option and in its sole discretion, upon notice to the Debtors, perform the same
and in so doing may expend such sums as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
deem advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the
payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain
a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against
any adverse claim and all other expenditures that the Administrative Agent may
reasonably make for the protection of the security hereof or that it may be
compelled to make by operation of law. All such sums and amounts so expended
shall be repayable by the Debtors on a joint and several basis (subject to
Section 7.16 hereof) promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor,
shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the
date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate. No such performance of any
covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Debtor, and
no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Debtors of any
default under the terms of this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents or
any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations. The Administrative
Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of
the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill,
statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being
contested in good faith by a Debtor in appropriate proceedings and against which
adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

         5.3      The Administrative Agent's Duty of Care. Other than the
exercise of reasonable care in the physical custody of the Collateral while held
by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no
responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to all or any part of the
Collateral or any matter or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto,
including, without limitation, any obligation or duty to collect any sums due in
respect thereof or to protect or preserve any rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the
Debtors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral.
Without limiting the

                                       8
<PAGE>

generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral if the
Administrative Agent takes such action, for purposes of preserving rights in the
Collateral, as any of the Debtors may reasonably request in writing, but no
failure or omission or delay by the Administrative Agent in complying with any
such request by such Debtor, and no refusal by the Administrative Agent to
comply with any such request by such Debtor, shall of itself be deemed to be a
failure to exercise reasonable care.

         5.4      Rights of Debtors; Debtors Remain Liable.

         (a)      Any term of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
until written notice shall be given to any of the Debtors that the
Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under this Section 5, such Debtor
shall have the right, subject to the prohibitions contained in the Credit
Agreement to possess, retain, enjoy and use the Collateral, to give consents,
waivers or notifications with respect to the Collateral, to exercise its rights,
powers and privileges under the Collateral, to agree to any modification of any
of the terms of the Collateral, to dispose of any of the Collateral (it being
agreed that the Lien of this Agreement shall attach to the proceeds thereof),
and otherwise to act with respect to the Collateral in the ordinary course of
business, in each case other than with respect to any Cash Collateral held by
the Administrative Agent.

         (b)      Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) each of
the Debtors shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in
the Collateral to the extent set forth therein (and subject to any defenses
thereto), to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same
extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the
Administrative Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any of the
Debtors from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements
included in the Collateral, and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall not have
any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the
Collateral solely by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative
Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Debtors
thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment
assigned hereunder, in each case, solely by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 6. Events of Default and Remedies.

         6.1      Events of Default. The Debtors shall be in default under this
Agreement upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of any of the
events or conditions defined as Events of Default in the Credit Agreement (an
"Event of Default").

         6.2      Rights and Remedies. Prior to the Collateral Termination Date,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as the same shall be
continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the following rights and
remedies to the extent not prohibited by applicable laws:

         (a)      In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the
                  Administrative Agent in this Agreement and in any other
                  instrument or agreement securing, evidencing, or relating to
                  the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall have
                  all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
                  UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral.
                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
                  Administrative Agent may (i) without demand or notice to the
                  Debtors, collect, receive, or take possession of the
                  Collateral or any part thereof, (ii) sell or otherwise dispose
                  of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels
                  at public or private sale or sales, at the Administrative
                  Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for
                  future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and/or
                  (iii) bid and become a purchaser at any such sale free of any
                  right or equity of redemption in any of the Debtors, which
                  right or equity is hereby expressly waived and released by all
                  of the Debtors. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
                  any of the Debtors shall assemble the Collateral and make it

                                       9
<PAGE>

                  available to the Administrative Agent at any place designated
                  by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to
                  such Debtor and the Administrative Agent. Each of the Debtors
                  agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to
                  give more than ten (10) days' prior written notice of the time
                  and place of any public sale or of the time after which any
                  private sale may take place and that such notice shall
                  constitute reasonable notice of such matters. Each of the
                  Debtors shall be liable, jointly and severally, for all
                  reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale,
                  or the like, and all reasonable attorneys' fees and other
                  reasonable expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in
                  connection with the collection of the Secured Obligations and
                  the enforcement of the Administrative Agent's rights under
                  this Agreement, in each case during the continuance of an
                  Event of Default, all of which expenses and fees shall
                  constitute additional Secured Obligations secured by this
                  Agreement. The Administrative Agent may apply the Collateral
                  against the Secured Obligations then due and payable in such
                  order and manner as it shall elect in its sole discretion.
                  Each of the Debtors shall remain liable for any deficiency
                  (subject to Section 7.16 hereof) together with interest
                  thereon at the Default Rate if the proceeds of any sale or
                  disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the
                  Secured Obligations. Each of the Debtors waives all rights of
                  marshaling in respect of the Collateral.

         (b)      The Administrative Agent may cause any or all of the
                  Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of the
                  Administrative Agent or the name or names of the
                  Administrative Agent's nominee or nominees (in each case as
                  pledgee hereunder).

         6.3      Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various
premises of the Debtors without cost or charge to the Administrative Agent, and
use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the
Debtors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for
preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by
foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In addition, the Administrative Agent may
remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records
with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such
Collateral.

         6.4      Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative
Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations to exercise any right, remedy or
option under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other documents
relating to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by law, or any delay by the
Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations in exercising the
same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No
waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party
against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent
specifically stated, which in the case of the Administrative Agent or the
holders of the Secured Obligations shall only be granted as provided herein. To
the extent permitted by law, neither the Administrative Agent, the holders of
the Secured Obligations, nor any party acting as attorney for the Administrative
Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations, shall be liable hereunder for
any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law
other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured
Obligations under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
other right or remedy that the Administrative Agent or the holders of the
Secured Obligations may have.

         6.5      Retention of Collateral. To the extent permitted under
applicable law, in addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, after providing
the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise
complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction,
accept or retain all or any portion of the Collateral in satisfaction of the
Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
provided

                                       10
<PAGE>

such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
accepted or retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations
for any reason.

         6.6      Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Secured
Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the
Administrative Agent or any of the holders of the Secured Obligations in cash or
its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the
order set forth in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 7. Miscellaneous.

         7.1      No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations to
exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to,
any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power,
privilege or remedy under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, the rights, powers, privilege and
remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights and remedies provided by law. The Administrative Agent may exercise any
right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or under applicable law
against any Debtor without enforcing any rights, powers, privileges or remedies
against any other Debtor under this Agreement or otherwise, each of the Debtors
expressly waiving any rights or requirements that the Administrative Agent or
any Lender first enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy against the
Borrower, any other Debtor or any other Collateral for the Secured Obligations.

         7.2      Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of each Debtor and the Administrative Agent and their
respective heirs, successors, and assigns, except that none of the Debtors may
assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement except to the
extent permitted by the Credit Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, each Debtor hereby releases the Administrative Agent and each holder of the
Secured Obligations, and their respective successors and assigns, from any
liability for any act or omission relating to this Agreement or the Collateral,
except for any liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Administrative Agent or such holder, or their respective officers,
employees or agents.

         7.3      Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under
this Agreement shall be given as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit
Agreement.

         7.4      Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury
Trial; Arbitration.

affect the representations and warranties or the right of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to rely upon them.

prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         7.11     Construction. The Debtors and the Administrative Agent
acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own
choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement with its
legal counsel and that this Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted
by the Debtors and the Administrative Agent.

<PAGE>

         7.12     Secured Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Debtors
under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
released, discharged, reduced, or in any way impaired by any circumstance
whatsoever, including, without limitation, any amendment, modification,
extension, or renewal of this Agreement, the Secured Obligations, or any
document or instrument evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to the
Secured Obligations, or any release, subordination, or impairment of collateral,
or any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence, compromise, settlement, or other
action or inaction in respect of this Agreement, the Secured Obligations, or any

expense of each Debtor, forthwith will execute and deliver to such Debtor a
proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination

Debtor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty), such of
the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Lender and as has not
theretofore been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to this Agreement or the
Credit Agreement. Upon such release and redelivery, this Agreement shall
terminate.

         7.14     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, EMBODIES THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND
SUPERSEDES ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND
UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.

         7.15     Other Security. To the extent that any of the Secured
Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral
(including, without limitation, real and other personal property owned by a
Debtor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person in favor
of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations,
then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other
property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, and the Administrative Agent shall have the
right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens,
security interests or remedies the Administrative Agent shall at any time
pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in
any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Secured Obligations or any of
the rights of the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations
under this Agreement, under any of the other Loan Documents or under any other
document relating to the Secured Obligations.

         7.16     Joint and Several Obligations of Debtors.

         (a)      Each of the Debtors is accepting joint and several liability
hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the
holders of the Secured Obligations, for the mutual benefit, directly and
indirectly, of each of the Debtors and in consideration of the undertakings of
each of the Debtors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of
each of them.

         (b)      Each of the Debtors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor,
joint and several liability with the other Debtors with respect to the payment
and performance of all of the Secured Obligations arising under this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any other documents relating to the Secured
Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Secured
Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Debtors
without preferences or distinction among them.

         (c)      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein, in any other of the Loan Documents or in any other documents relating to
the Secured Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under the Credit
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the documents relating to the Secured

                                       13

Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount
that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable
state law.
