                           2002 STOCK EQUIVALENTS PLAN

                           FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
                           --------------------------

         1. Purpose. The purpose of the Lawson Products, Inc. 2002 Stock
Equivalents Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Plan") is to aid Lawson
Products, Inc. (the "Company") in attracting and retaining non-employee
directors by encouraging and enabling the acquisition of a financial interest in
the Company by such directors through the issuance of stock equivalents.
Participation in this Plan is limited to non-employee directors of the Company.
For purposes of the Plan, a non-employee director is any person who is a member
of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") and who is not, and has
never been, a full-time employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         2. Election to Receive Annual Retainer in Stock Equivalents. Each
non-employee director may make an irrevocable election to receive all or any
portion of his or her annual retainer in stock equivalents to be paid out at:
(a) the death, permanent disability, retirement or other termination of the
non-employee director's service on the Board (each of the foregoing being a
"Termination Event") or (b) five years from the date of election or (c) ten
years from the date of election. In the event an election under (b) or (c) is
made, and a Termination Event occurs prior to the date elected for a payment,
the payment date shall be accelerated to the date of the Termination Date. An
election pursuant to this paragraph 2 must be made in writing on or before July
1st of each year and will entitle the non-employee director to a number of stock
equivalents during each of the ensuing four calendar quarters determined by
dividing 25% of the portion of the retainer for the year for which the election
is being made by the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common
Stock as of the first day of each such quarter of such year. In the event any
person becomes a non-employee director after July 1, such person may make an
election, before the date on which such person becomes a non-employee director,
to receive all or any portion of his or her retainer during the period ending on
June 30 in stock equivalents determined in accordance with the formula set forth
in the preceding sentence.

<PAGE>

         3. Stock Equivalents. The number of stock equivalents determined under
paragraph 2 hereunder for each non-employee director shall be credited to a
bookkeeping account established in the name of that director subject to the
following terms and conditions:

              (a) If the Company pays a cash dividend with respect to the Common
         Stock at any time while stock equivalents are credited to a
         non-employee director's account, there shall be credited to the
         non-employee director's account additional stock equivalents equal to
         (i) the cash dividend the director would have received had he or she
         been the actual owner of the stock equivalents then credited to the
         director's account, divided by (ii) the fair market value of one share
         of the Company's Common Stock on the dividend payment date.

              (b) Upon the death, permanent disability, retirement or other
         termination of the non-employee director's service on the Board, or
         such earlier time as the director shall designate at the time of the
         election in paragraph 2 above, the Company shall pay to the
         non-employee director (or his or her designated beneficiary or estate)
         in a lump sum an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of
         Company Common Stock on the date of termination (or other designated
         date) multiplied by the number of stock equivalents then credited to
         the director's account.

              (c) The Company's obligation with respect to stock equivalents
         shall not be funded or secured in any manner, nor shall a participant's
         right to receive payment be assignable or transferable, voluntarily or
         involuntarily, except as expressly provided herein.

              (d) Stock equivalents shall not entitle the holder thereof to any
         voting or other stockholder rights as a result of the credit of stock
         equivalents to the holder's account.

              (e) All stock equivalents shall not be transferable in any manner
         other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

              (f) No right or interest of any director in a stock equivalent
         shall be subject to any lien, claim, encumbrance, obligation, or
         liability of such director. Any payments required under the Plan during
         a director's lifetime shall be made only to the director.

<PAGE>

         4. Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Plan, fair market value
shall mean the closing price of a share of Company Common Stock on the valuation
date or on the next preceding trading day if the valuation date is not a trading
day, as reported in the Midwest Edition of The Wall Street Journal.

         5. Adjustments. If there is any change in the Company's Common Stock by
means of a stock dividend or distribution, stock split-up, recapitalization,
combination or exchange of shares, or by means of any merger, consolidation or
other corporate reorganization in which the Company is the surviving
corporation, the number of stock equivalents shall be automatically adjusted on
the same basis to give proper effect to such change, and the Board of Directors
shall make whatever changes in the Plan and in any stock equivalents then
outstanding as it deems necessary or appropriate.

         6. Amendment or Termination. The Board shall have the power to
terminate the Plan at any time and to amend the Plan from time to time as it may
deem proper; provided, however, that no such termination or amendment shall
adversely affect any outstanding stock equivalents. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board shall have the right to terminate this Plan and all stock
equivalents outstanding at any time by making a lump sum payment equal to the
then fair market value of the then outstanding stock equivalents in cancellation
of all rights of directors in the Plan.

         7. Illinois Law. This Plan and all actions taken in connection herewith
shall be governed and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the
state of Illinois (regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under
applicable Illinois principles of conflict of laws).<PAGE>

Revolving Loans Lender and each Revolving Loans Lender irrevocably accepts and
purchases from the Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated,
for such Revolving Loans Lender's own account and risk, an undivided interest in
proportion to such Lender's Revolving Loans Commitment in the Issuing Bank's
obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the
amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Bank thereunder. Each Revolving Loans
Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Bank that, if a
draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Bank is not
reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, such Revolving Loans Lender shall pay to the Issuing Bank (through
the Administrative Agent) upon demand, an amount equal to such Revolving Loans
Lender's participation in such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so
reimbursed.

     (c)  If any amount required to be paid by any Revolving Loans Lender to the
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14(b) in respect of any unreimbursed portion
of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit is paid to
the Issuing Bank within three Business Days after the date such payment is due,
such Revolving Loans Lender shall pay to the Issuing Bank (through the
Administrative Agent) on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such
amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate, as quoted by the
Issuing Bank, during the period from and including the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the
Issuing Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of
days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any
such amount required to be paid by any Revolving Loans Lender pursuant to
Section 2.14(b) is not made available to the Issuing

[ ]Bank by such Revolving Loans Lender within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such
Revolving Loans Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated
from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans
hereunder. A certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Loans
Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this Section 2.14(c) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     (d)  Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made payment under
any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Loans Lender its pro
rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.14(b), the Issuing Bank
receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the
Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the
Issuing Bank), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Bank
will distribute to the Administrative Agent (for the account of such Revolving
Loans Lender) such Revolving Loans Lender's pro rata share thereof; provided,
however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Bank
shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Loans
Lender shall return to the Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) the
portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Bank to it.

     (e)  The Borrowers shall give the Issuing Bank at least five Business Days
irrevocable prior notice (effective upon receipt) specifying the date of each
Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions to be supported thereby.
Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date that does not exceed one
year from the date of issuance and that does not extend beyond the Revolving
Loans Maturity Date, shall be payable in Dollars, shall support a transaction
entered into in the ordinary course of a Borrower's or its Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary's business, shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the
Issuing Bank, and shall be issued pursuant to such agreements, documents and
instruments (including a Letter of Credit Agreement) as the Issuing Bank may
reasonably require, none of which shall be inconsistent with this Section 2.14.
Each Letter of Credit shall (i) provide for the payment of drafts presented for,
on or thereunder by the beneficiary in accordance with the terms thereof, when
such drafts are accompanied by the documents (if any) described in the Letter of
Credit and (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with the terms hereof or any
applicable Letter of Credit Agreement, be subject to the Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits (1995 Revision), International Chamber of
Commerce Publication No. 500 (together with any subsequent revision thereof
approved by a Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce and adhered to

UCP, be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws
of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

     (f)  The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, concurrently
with the issuance of such Letter of Credit, a nonrefundable letter of credit fee
with respect to each Letter of Credit issued in a percentage amount equal to the
rate specified in the definition of "Applicable Margin" herein, which fee shall
be due of the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit. In addition to the
foregoing fees, the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for such
normal and customary costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges, as are
incurred or charged by the Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under,

     (h)  The Borrowers shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to
immediately reimburse the Issuing Bank for any amounts paid by the Issuing Bank

     the Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this
     Agreement or any other Loan Document or any unrelated transaction;

          (iv) Any statement, draft or other document presented under any 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
     whatsoever;

          (v)  Payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against
     presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
     terms of such Letter of Credit, provided, that such payment shall not have
     constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank; and

          (vi) Any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
     of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstance or event shall not
     have been the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
     Issuing Bank.

     (j)  The  Borrowers assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of
Credit. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any of their
respective officers or directors shall have any responsibility or liability to
the Borrowers or any other Person for: (i) the failure of any draft to bear any
reference or

note the amount of any instrument on any Letter of Credit, (ii) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages,

of Credit against presentation of any draft or other document that does not

provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall have
a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the
Borrowers, to the extent of any direct, but not indirect or consequential,
damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove in a final
nonappealable judgment were caused by (A) the Issuing Bank's willful misconduct
or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under any Letter
of Credit complied with the terms thereof or (B) the Issuing Bank's willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after presentation to it of documents
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. The
Issuing Bank 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 other amounts to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its McLean, Virginia
office for the account of each Lender's Applicable Lending Office in Dollars and
in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not
later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on the date on which such payment
shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be
deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). The Borrowers
shall, at the time of making each such payment, specify to the Administrative
Agent the sums payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that the
Borrowers fail to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply such payment to the Obligations
in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may elect, subject to
Section 3.2). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, all proceeds of any Collateral and all other funds of the Borrowers in
the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, may be applied by the
Administrative Agent to the Obligations in such order and manner as the
Administrative Agent may elect, subject to Section 3.2. Each payment received by
the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document for the
account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in immediately
available funds, for the account of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office.
Whenever any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in the computation of the payment of interest and commitment
fee, as the case may be.

     Section 3.2    Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided
in this Agreement: (a) each Loan shall be made by the Lenders under Section 2.1,
each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.11(a) shall be made for the

under Section 2.13 shall be applied to the Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata
according to the respective unused Commitments; (b) the making, Conversion and
Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for
by Section 4.4) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders holding Loans of such
Type according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (c) each payment
and prepayment by the Borrowers of principal of or interest on Loans of a
particular Type shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders holding Loans of such Type pro rata in accordance with the respective
unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by such Lenders; and (d) Interest
Periods for Loans of a particular Type shall be allocated among the Lenders
holding Loans of such Type pro rata according to the respective principal

such amounts, and make such adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable
to the end that all the Lenders shall share pro rata in accordance with the
unpaid principal and interest on the Obligations then due to each of them. To
such end, all of the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves
(by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if all or any portion of
such excess payment is thereafter rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The
Borrowers agree, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Obligations by the
other Lenders may exercise all rights of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or
similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were a direct holder of Obligations in the amount of such participation. Nothing
contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall
affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of
exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness, liability or
obligation of the Borrowers.

     Section 3.4    Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Borrowers (the
"Payor") prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment to the
Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or the
Borrowers is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of
one or more of the Lenders, as the case may be (such payment being herein called
the "Required Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the
Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and
may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the
amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the
Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the
recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the
amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of the
period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the
Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such
amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such period.

any present or future taxes, levies, duties, imposts, assessments or other
charges levied or imposed by any Governmental Authority (other than franchise
taxes and taxes on the overall net income of any Lender). If any such taxes,
levies, duties, imposts, assessments or other charges are so levied or imposed,

net payment of principal of and interest on the Loans and of all other amounts
payable by it under the Loan Documents, after withholding or deduction for or on
account of any such present or future taxes, levies, duties, imposts,

income of a Lender attributable to payments made to or on behalf of a Lender
pursuant to this Section 3.5 and any penalties or interest attributable to such
payments), will not be less than the amount provided for herein or therein
absent such withholding or deduction (provided that the Borrowers shall not have
any obligation to pay such additional amounts to any Lender to the extent that
such taxes, levies, duties, imposts, assessments or other charges are levied or
imposed by reason of the failure of such Lender to comply with the provisions of
Section 3.6), (ii) make such withholding or deduction and (iii) remit the full
amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Borrowers will, upon written request of any Lender, reimburse each such Lender
for the amount of (A) such taxes, levies, duties, imports, assessments or other
charges so levied or imposed by any Governmental Authority and paid by such
Lender as a result of payments made by the Borrowers under or with respect to
the Loans other than such taxes, levies, duties, imports, assessments and other
charges previously withheld or deducted by the Borrowers which have previously
resulted in the payment of the required additional amount to such Lender, and
(B) such taxes, levies, duties, assessments and other charges so levied or
imposed with respect to any Lender reimbursement under the foregoing clause (A),
so that the net amount received by such Lender (net of payments made under or
with respect to the Loans) after such reimbursement will not be less than the
net amount such Lender would have received if such taxes, levies, duties,
assessments and other charges on such reimbursement had not been levied or
imposed. The Borrowers shall furnish promptly to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each affected Lender, as the case may be, upon request of such
Lender, official receipts evidencing any such payment, withholding or reduction.

     (b)  The Borrowers will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender
(without duplication) against, and reimburse the Administrative Agent and each
Lender for, all present and future taxes, levies, duties, imposts, assessments
or other charges (including interest and penalties) levied or collected (whether
or not legally or correctly imposed, assessed, levied or collected), excluding,
however, any taxes imposed on the overall net income of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender or any lending office of the Administrative Agent or such Lender
by any jurisdiction in which the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any such
lending office is located, on or in respect of this Agreement, any of the Loan
Documents or the Obligations or any portion thereof (the "reimbursable taxes").
Any such indemnification shall be on an after-tax basis, taking into account any
such reimbursable taxes imposed on the amounts paid as indemnity.

     (c)  Without prejudice to the survival of any other term or provision of
this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 3.5 shall
survive the payment of the Loans and the other Obligations and termination of
the Commitments.

     Section 3.6    Withholding Tax Exemption. Each Lender that is not
incorporated or otherwise formed under the laws of the U.S. or a state thereof
agrees that it will, prior to or on or about the Closing Date or the date upon
which it initially becomes a party to this Agreement and if it is legally able
to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, two duly
completed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1001, 4224 or W-8, as
appropriate, certifying in any case that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments from the Borrowers under any Loan Document without deduction or
withholding of any U.S. federal income taxes. Each Lender which so delivers a
Form 1001, 4224 or W-8 further undertakes to deliver to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent, two additional copies of such form (or a successor form)
on or before the date such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered
by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be
reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, in each case
certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments from the Borrowers
under any Loan Document without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal
income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such
form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving such payments without
any deduction or withholding of U.S. federal income tax.

     Section 3.7    Reinstatement of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the
payment of any amount of principal of or interest with respect to the Loans or
any other amount of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, is rescinded,
voided or must otherwise be refunded by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or otherwise for
any reason whatsoever, then each of (a) the Obligations, (b) the Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, this Agreement, the Notes and the Security
Documents), (c) the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of a Borrower and
any other Loan Parties and (d) all Liens for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders created under or evidenced by the Loan Documents, will be
automatically reinstated and become automatically effective and in full force
and effect, all to the extent that and as though such payment so rescinded,
voided or otherwise refunded had never been made.

     Section 3.8    No Force Majeure, Disputes. The Borrowers' obligation to pay
all amounts due under the Loans and the other Obligations shall not be affected
by (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction, abatement, suspension,
diminution, reduction, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have
against any Lender, (b) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceedings by or against the Borrowers or affecting any of their Properties,
(c) any action of any Governmental Authority or any damage to or destruction of
or any taking of the Borrowers'

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 41

[ ] Property or any part thereof, (d) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence
or failure to perform or comply with, or other action or omission herein or in
the other Loan Documents (except for express written modifications to this
Agreement or other Loan Documents as and in the manner permitted under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents), (e) any dissolution of the Borrowers,
(f) any inability or illegality with respect to the use or ownership of the
Borrowers' Property, (g) any failure to obtain, or expiration, suspension or
other termination of, or interruption to, any required licenses, permits,
consents, authorizations, approvals or other legal requirements, (h) the
invalidity or unenforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other
infirmity therein or any lack of power or authority of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender or the Borrowers, or (i) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing and whether or not
the Borrowers shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, it being
the intention of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Borrowers that
the Obligations of the Borrowers shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
be separate and independent covenants and agreements and shall continue
unaffected unless the requirements to pay or perform the same shall have been
terminated pursuant to an express provision thereof or of any of the other Loan
Documents.

                         Yield Protection and Illegality

     Section 4.1    Additional Costs.

     (a)  The Borrowers shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time,
promptly upon the request of such Lender, the costs incurred by such Lender
which such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of
any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any of such Loans, or any reduction in
any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any such Loans or
obligations (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being
herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

          (i)  changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such
     Lender under this Agreement or its Notes in respect of any of such Loans
     (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender or its
     Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans by the jurisdiction in
     which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending
     Office);

          (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, minimum
     capital, capital ratio or similar requirement relating to any extensions of
     credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or
     commitments of, such Lender (including any of such Loans or any deposits
     referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof, but
     excluding the Reserve Requirement to the extent it is included in the
     calculation of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate); or

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 42

<PAGE>

          [ ](iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the
     Notes or any extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments
     contemplated hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender will notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
of any event occurring after the Closing Date which will entitle such Lender to
compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and (if
so requested by the Borrowers) will designate a different Applicable Lending
Office for the LIBOR Loans of such Lender if such designation will avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole
opinion of such Lender, violate any law, rule or regulation or be in any way
disadvantageous to such Lender, provided that such Lender shall have no
obligation to so designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the U.S. Each
Lender will furnish the Borrowers with a certificate setting forth the basis and
the amount of each request of such Lender for compensation under this Section
4.1(a). If any Lender requests compensation from the Borrowers under this
Section 4.1(a), the Borrowers may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue
making, or Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans until the Regulatory Change
giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions
of Section 4.4 hereof shall be applicable).

     (b)  Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.1, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender
either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a
specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of
such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of
extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes LIBOR Loans
or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of
liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by
notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
obligation of such Lender to make or Continue making, or Convert Base Rate Loans
into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change
ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof shall
be applicable).

     (c)  Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this
Section 4.1 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining
its obligation to make Loans or of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts
receivable by it in respect of Loans and of the additional amounts required to
compensate such Lender in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error, provided that such determinations and
allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

     Section 4.2    Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if with respect to any LIBOR Loans:

     (a)  the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that quotations of interest rates for the
relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Rate" in Section 1.1
hereof are not being provided in the relative amounts or for the

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 43

<PAGE>

[ ] relative maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for
such Loans as provided in this Agreement; or

     (b)  the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) and notify the Administrative Agent that the
relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Rate" or
"Adjusted LIBOR Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof on the basis of which the rate of
interest for such Loans is to be determined do not accurately reflect the cost
to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers prompt notice thereof
and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no
obligation to make LIBOR Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans
and the Borrowers shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest
Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR Loans, either prepay such Loans or Convert
such Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 4.3    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its
Applicable Lending Office to (a) honor its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or (b)
maintain LIBOR Loans, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) thereof and such Lender's obligation to make
or maintain LIBOR Loans and to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans
hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and
maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof shall
be applicable).

     Section 4.4    Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender
to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans is
suspended pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.3 hereof, such Lender's LIBOR Loans shall
be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) for the LIBOR Loans (or on such earlier date as such
Lender may specify to the Borrowers with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the
circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 hereof which gave rise to such
Conversion no longer exist:

     (a)  to the extent that such Lender's LIBOR Loans have been so Converted,
all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to
such Lender's LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

     (b)  all Loans which would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as
LIBOR Loans shall be made as or Converted into Base Rate Loans and all Loans of
such Lender which would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall be
Converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrowers that the circumstances specified in
Section 4.1 or 4.3 hereof which gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender's
LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 4.4 no longer exist (which such Lender
agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when
LIBOR Loans are outstanding, such Lender's Base Rate Loans shall be
automatically

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 44

<PAGE>

[ ]Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for
such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving
effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such
Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods)
in accordance with their respective Commitments.

     Section 4.5    Compensation. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender, promptly upon the request of such Lender
through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient
(in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost
or expense incurred by it as a result of:

     (a)  Any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan for any reason
(including, without limitation, the acceleration of the outstanding Loans
pursuant to Section 11.2) on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period for such Loan; or

     (b)  Any failure by the Borrowers for any reason (including, without
limitation, the failure of any conditions precedent specified in Article 6 to be
satisfied) to borrow, Convert or prepay a LIBOR Loan on the date for such
borrowing, Conversion or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of
borrowing, prepayment or Conversion under this Agreement.

     Section 4.6    Capital Adequacy. If, after the Closing Date, any Lender
shall have determined that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law,
rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy (including, without limitation,
any law, rule or regulation implementing the Basle Accord), or any change
therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its parent) with any
guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(including, without limitation, any guideline or other requirement implementing
the Basle Accord), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender's (or its parent's) capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby to a level below that which
such Lender (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption,
implementation, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by
such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days
after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender (or its parent) for such reduction. A certificate of such
Lender claiming compensation under this Section 4.6 and setting forth the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, provided that the determination thereof is made on a
reasonable basis. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

     Section 4.7    Additional Interest on LIBOR Loans. Without duplication of
Section 2.4 or amounts directly included in the definition of the term "Adjusted
LIBOR Rate", the Borrowers shall pay, directly to each Lender from time to time,
additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan held by
such Lender, from the date of the making of such LIBOR Loan until such

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 45

<PAGE>

[ ] principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum determined
by such Lender in good faith equal to the positive remainder (if any) of (a) the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan minus (b) the LIBOR Rate
applicable to such LIBOR Loan. Each payment of additional interest pursuant to
this Section 4.7 shall be payable by the Borrowers on each date upon which
interest is payable on such LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.4(b); provided,
however, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to make any such payment of
additional interest until the first Business Day after the date when the
Borrowers have been informed (i) that such Lender is subject to a Reserve
Requirement and (ii) of the amount of such Reserve Requirement (after which time
the Borrowers shall be obligated to make all such payments of additional
interest, including, without limitation, such payment of additional interest
that otherwise would have been payable by the Borrowers on or prior to such time
had the Borrowers been earlier informed).

     Section 4.8    Basis for Determining LIBOR Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If
with respect to any Interest Period:

     (a)  deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered
to the Lender in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or the Lender
otherwise reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and
conclusive on the Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the
London interLender market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate; or

     (b)  the Lender reasonably determines that the LIBOR Rate will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining
the Loans for such Interest Period, or that the making or maintaining of the
Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date
of this Agreement which in the opinion of the Lender materially affects the
Loans; then the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers in writing thereof
and the Lender and the Borrowers shall attempt to agree upon an alternative rate
that would otherwise compensate the Lender for the cost of making or maintaining
the Loans. In the event the parties cannot agree on an alternative rate, then,
within sixty (60) days thereafter, the Borrowers shall either: (a) prepay the
Loans, together with all accrued interest thereon, Breakage Fees, if any, and
all other sums due hereunder; or (b) request the Lender to convert the interest
rate applicable to the Loans from a rate based on the LIBOR Rate to the Base
Rate effective on the last day of the current Interest Period. The Lender shall
agree to modify the terms of the Notes reflecting the change in the applicable
interest rate so long as no Default or Event of Default has the occurred.

     Section 4.9    Changes in Law Rendering Maintenance of the Loans Unlawful,
etc. In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new)
applicable laws or regulations, or any change in the interpretation of
applicable laws or regulations by any governmental authority, central Lender or
comparable agency charged with the administration thereof, should make it
unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain the Loans, then the Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrowers of such change and the Lender and the Borrowers
shall attempt to restructure the Loans on terms on which the Lender could make
or maintain the Loans and which preserves and maintains the Lender's anticipated
rate of return. The Borrowers shall be [ ] responsible for all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 46

<PAGE>

such restructuring and relating to any required modifications to the Loan
Documents. If, however, the parties cannot agree or if the Loans cannot be
restructured on a basis on which the Lender could make or maintain the Loans,
then, within sixty (60) days thereafter, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans,
together with all accrued interest thereon, Breakage Fees, if any, and all other
sums due hereunder.

     Section 4.10   Funding Losses. The Borrowers hereby agrees that upon demand
by the Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
the basis for the calculations of the amount claimed) the Borrowers will
indemnify the Lender against any net loss or out-of-pocket expense
(collectively, the "Breakage Fees") which the Lender may sustain or incur
(including, without limitation, any net loss or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by the
Lender to fund or maintain the Loans), as reasonably determined by the Lender,
as a result of any prepayment of any amounts due under the Notes other than at
the end of an Interest Period.

     Section 4.11   Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Lender
shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of the
Loans in any matter it sees fit.

     Section 4.12   Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions.
Determinations and statements issued by the Lender pursuant to the provisions
hereof shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Lender may use
reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under
this Section, and the provisions of such Section shall survive repayment of the
Loans, cancellation of the Notes and any termination of this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 5

                                    Security

     Section 5.1    Collateral. To secure the full and complete payment and
performance of the Obligations, the Borrowers will, and will cause each of the
Subsidiaries of the Borrowers to, grant to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a perfected, first priority
Lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the Security Documents, including,
without limitation, the following, whether owned as of the Closing Date or
thereafter owned or acquired:

     (a)  all Capital Stock of each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrowers;

     (b)  all of the Property (as such Property is more specifically described
in the Security Documents) of the Borrowers and each of the Subsidiaries of the
Borrowers, including, without limitation, the following: Investments (including
certificates of deposit); accounts; inventory (including, without limitation,
work in process); equipment; deposit accounts (including cash collateral
accounts), contract rights (including, without limitation, rights of way,
easements, leases [ ] and all related contracts); customer deposits in
connection with purchase orders; general

intangibles; Mortgaged Properties; instruments;chattel paper; Licenses; Permits;
Intellectual Property; and inter-company Debt;

     (c)  all Debt owed to the Borrowers or to any Subsidiary of a Borrowers;
and

     (d)  all cash and non-cash proceeds and products of any of the foregoing.

     Section 5.2    Guaranties. The Company will cause each of its Subsidiaries
that is not a Borrower, if any, and each Subsidiary of any Borrower other than
the Company, if any, whether owned as of the Closing Date or thereafter
organized or created, to Guarantee the payment and performance of the
Obligations pursuant to the Guaranties.

     Section 5.3    New Subsidiaries; Additional Capital Stock.
Contemporaneously with the creation or acquisition of any Subsidiary of a
Borrower after the Closing Date, such Borrower shall:

     (a)  grant or cause to be granted to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of itself and the Lenders, a perfected, first priority security interest
in all Capital Stock of such Subsidiary owned by such Borrower or any Subsidiary
of such Borrower (to the extent such Capital Stock was not previously pledged to
the Administrative Agent);

     (b)  cause each such Subsidiary to Guarantee the payment and performance of
the Obligations by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a
Guaranty or a joinder therein acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and

     (c)  cause each such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Security Agreement and such other Security Documents, in
form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative
Agent may request to grant the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself
and the Lenders, a perfected, first priority Lien on all Property of such
Subsidiary.

Contemporaneously with the issuance of any additional Capital Stock of any of
the Subsidiaries of a Borrower after the Closing Date, such Borrower shall, and
shall cause each of the Subsidiaries of such Borrower to, grant or cause to be
granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, a perfected, first priority security interest in all Capital
Stock or other ownership interests in such Subsidiary owned by such Borrower or
any Subsidiary of such Borrower (to the extent such Capital Stock or other
ownership interests are already not so pledged to the Administrative Agent). The
Borrowers covenant that none of the Capital Stock to be pledged in accordance
with this Section 5.3 shall be subject to any transfer restriction,
shareholders' agreement or other restriction except for such restrictions under
applicable securities laws, such restrictions existing as of the Closing Date
which have been disclosed to the Administrative Agent in the Security Documents
and such restrictions, if any, as may be reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent. In connection with and in addition to the foregoing, the
Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrowers and
other appropriate Persons (as applicable) [ ] to, execute and/or deliver such
further agreements, documents and instruments (including, without

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 48

<PAGE>

limitation, stock certificates, stock powers and financing statements) as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order for it to obtain and
maintain the perfected, first priority Liens to be granted in accordance with
this Section 5.3.

     Section 5.4    Mortgaged Properties; Landlord Waivers. Without limiting the
generality of the other terms and provisions of this Article 5, the Borrowers
shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrowers to, on the
Closing Date (with respect to fee real Property owned as of the Closing Date) or
contemporaneously with the acquisition of any fee real Property (with respect to
fee real Property acquired after the Closing Date), execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Administrative Agent a Mortgage or an amendment or modification
to an existing Mortgage covering all fee real Property owned by any such Loan
Party, together with evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and its counsel that the Mortgage creates a valid,
first priority Lien on the fee estate, in favor of the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders securing the payment and
performance of the Obligations (including, without limitation and if requested
by the Administrative Agent, a commitment for a mortgagee policy of title
insurance or a title opinion in favor of the Administrative Agent), and together
with current appraisals complying with all applicable regulatory requirements
and surveys certified to the Administrative Agent if requested by the
Administrative Agent. In addition, if reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent, the Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of such Loan Parties with an
interest in such Property to, provide the Administrative Agent with a current
environmental assessment of such Property in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In addition, with respect to each
lease of real Property executed by a Borrowers, such Borrower will use its
reasonable efforts to obtain waivers or subordinations of landlord's Liens from
each lessor and other agreements from such lessor and its lenders necessary or
appropriate to ensure Administrative Agent's perfected, first priority Lien on
the Collateral or Property affected thereby, the Administrative Agent's access
to such Collateral or Property and the right of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders or their designee to succeed to the rights of the Loan Party that is the
lessee under the lease, in each case in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

     Section 5.5    Further Assurances. In addition to the foregoing, the
Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of the other Loan Parties and other
appropriate Persons (as applicable) to, execute and/or deliver such further
agreements, documents and instruments (including, without limitation, financing
statements) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order for it
to obtain and maintain the perfected, first priority Liens to be granted in
accordance with this Article 5.

     Section 5.6    Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be

continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
without notice to the Borrowers, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final excluding any trust
accounts) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such
Lender to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any and all of
the Obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement,
such Lender's Note or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not
the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made [ ] any demand under
this Agreement, such Lender's Note or any such other Loan Document and

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 49

<PAGE>

although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to

liability in full. As of the Closing Date, no funding waivers have been or will
have been requested or granted under Section 412 of the Code with respect to any
Plan. No unfunded or unreserved liability for benefits under any Plan or Plans

that in any event the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties will maintain:

          (i)   Property Insurance. Insurance against loss or damage covering
     substantially all of the tangible real and personal Property and
     improvements of such Person by reason of any Peril (as defined below) in
     such amounts (subject to any deductibles as shall be satisfactory to the
     Administrative Agent) as shall be reasonable and customary and sufficient
     to avoid the insured named therein from becoming a co-insurer of any loss
     under such policy, but in any event in such amounts as are reasonably
     available as determined by the Borrowers' independent insurance broker
     reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

          (ii)  Automobile Liability Insurance for Bodily Injury and Property
     Damage. Insurance in respect of all vehicles (whether owned, hired or
     rented by such Person) at any time located at, or used in connection with,
     its Properties or operations against liabilities for bodily injury and
     Property damage in such amounts as are then customary for vehicles used in
     connection with similar Properties and businesses, but in any event to the
     extent required by applicable law.

          (iii) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance. Insurance against
     claims for bodily injury, death or Property damage occurring on, in or
     about the Property (and adjoining streets, sidewalks and waterways) of such

     in the jurisdictions where such Properties are located.

          (iv)  Worker's Compensation Insurance. Worker's compensation insurance
     (including employers' liability insurance) to the extent required by

     applicable law.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall purchase
and maintain in effect all-risk, property and casualty insurance (including
casualty insurance covering earthquake and flood damage if required) reasonably
acceptable and in amounts reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
liability insurance covering the operations of the Borrowers. All insurance
shall be written by financially responsible companies selected by the applicable
Loan Party and having an A.M. Best Rating of "A-" or better and being in a
financial size category of "VI" or larger, or by other companies reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Each policy referred to in

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 66

<PAGE>

this Section 8.5 shall name the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself
and the other Lenders) as loss payee (with respect to casualty insurance
policies) and additional insured (with respect to liability insurance policies)
and shall provide that it will not be canceled, amended or reduced except after
not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and
shall also provide that the interests of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall not be invalidated by any act or negligence of any Loan Party. The
Borrowers will advise the Administrative Agent promptly of any policy
cancellation, reduction or material amendment. For purposes hereof, the term
"Peril" shall mean, collectively, fire, lightning, flood, windstorm, hail,
explosion, riot and civil commotion, vandalism and malicious mischief, damage
from aircraft, vehicles and smoke and other perils covered by the "all-risk"
endorsement then in use in the jurisdictions where the Properties of the Loan
Parties are located.

     (b)  The Borrowers will cause each Insurance Recovery (other than any
portion of an Insurance Recovery payable to a landlord to repair or replace
Property leased by the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries) payable by any
insurance company to be deposited promptly with the Administrative Agent as
security for the Obligations if a Default has then occurred and is continuing,
and will pay all Insurance Recoveries to the Administrative Agent for
application against the Obligations if and to the extent required in accordance
with Section 2.7(a).

     (c)  If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers will
cause all proceeds of insurance paid on account of the loss of or damage to any
Property of the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries and all awards of
compensation for any Property of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries taken by
condemnation or eminent domain to be paid directly to the Administrative Agent
to be applied against or held as security for the Obligations, at the election
of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

     Section 8.6    Inspection Rights. The Borrowers will, and will cause each
of the Loan Parties to, permit representatives and agents of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice
to the Borrowers, to examine, copy and make extracts from its books and records,

financial condition with its officers and independent certified public
accountants. The Borrowers will authorize, and will cause each of the Loan
Parties to authorize, its accountants to comply with this Section 8.6. The

time at the Borrowers' expense, conduct field exams for such purposes as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Lender expects that such field
exams will be performed twice per calendar year.

     Section 8.7    Keeping Books and Records. The Borrowers will, and will
cause each of the Loan Parties to, maintain appropriate books of record and
account in accordance with GAAP consistently applied in which true, full and
correct entries will be made of all their respective dealings and business
affairs. If any changes in accounting principles from those used in the
preparation of the financial statements referenced in Section 8.1 are hereafter
required or permitted by GAAP and are adopted by the Borrowers with the
concurrence of its independent certified public accountants and such changes in
GAAP result in a change in the method of calculation or the

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 67

interpretation of any of the covenants, standards or terms contained in this
Agreement, the Borrowers and the Required Lenders agree to amend any such
affected terms and provisions so as to reflect such changes in GAAP with the

of the Loan Parties shall be the same after such changes in GAAP as if such
changes in GAAP had not been made.

cause each of the Loan Parties to, comply with all agreements, documents and
instruments binding on it or affecting its Properties or business, including,

and will cause each of the Loan Parties to execute and deliver such further
agreements, documents and instruments (including, without limitation, financing
statements and amendments to financing statements specifying each item of the
Collateral and the serial number therefor) and take such further actions as may
be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to carry out the terms and

of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders in and to
the Collateral and the required priority of such Liens.

     Section 8.11   ERISA. The Borrowers will, and will cause each of its ERISA
Affiliates to, comply with all minimum funding requirements and all other
material requirements of ERISA so as not to give rise to any material liability

Affiliate of such Loan Party; and (c) provide that its board of directors or
other analogous governing body will hold all appropriate meetings to authorize

each other Loan Party to, pay all trade accounts payable before the same become
more than 90 days past due, except (a) trade accounts payable contested in good

experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts, and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of
any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other
instrument or writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent
by the proper party or parties. As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with
instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the
Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding on all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative
Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any Loan Party, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term "agent" in
this Agreement with respect to the Administrative Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other express or implied obligation 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 among independent contracting parties.

     [ ] Section 12.2 Rights of Administrative Agent as a Lender. With respect
to its Commitments, the Loans made by it and the Note(s) issued to it, Bank of
America, N.A. (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity
as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the
Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to
account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as
trustee under indentures of, provide merchant banking services to, own
securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with, the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates and any other Person who
may do business with or own securities of the Borrowers or any of their
Affiliates, all as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent and without
any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

     Section 12.3   Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default (other than the
non-payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or of commitment fees)
unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the
Borrowers specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of
default". In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of
the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such
non-payment). The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 12.1) take such
action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required
Lenders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, 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 seem advisable and in the best interest of the
Lenders.

     Section 12.4   INDEMNIFICATION. EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM AND HOLD THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HARMLESS AGAINST (TO
THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED UNDER SECTIONS 13.1 AND 13.2, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS UNDER SECTIONS 13.1 AND 13.2), RATABLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ITS PRO RATA SHARE (CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF ITS COMMITMENT
PERCENTAGE OF THE COMMITMENTS), ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES), OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,
ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, DEFICIENCIES, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS'
FEES) AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED
ON, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING
TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO
BE TAKEN BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT UNDER OR IN RESPECT OF ANY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF
THE FOREGOING TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 81

<PAGE>

[ ] ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT
LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE LENDERS THAT THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER FROM AND HELD HARMLESS
AGAINST ALL OF SUCH LIABILITIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL
LIABILITIES), OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS,
DEFICIENCIES, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES) AND
DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
(EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE SAME ARE CAUSED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT). WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS
SECTION 12.4, EACH LENDER AGREES TO REIMBURSE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PROMPTLY
UPON DEMAND FOR ITS PRO RATA SHARE (CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF ITS COMMITMENT
PERCENTAGE OF THE COMMITMENTS) OF ANY AND ALL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING
ATTORNEYS' FEES) 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, THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS NOT PROMPTLY
REIMBURSED FOR SUCH EXPENSES BY THE BORROWERS.

     Section 12.5   Independent Credit Decisions. Each Lender agrees that it has
independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrowers and its own decision
to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not
be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any
Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to inspect the
Properties or books of the Borrowers (or any other Person). Except for notices,
reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished
to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Lender with any credit or other financial information concerning the
affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party which may come into
the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

     Section 12.6   Several Commitments. The Commitments and other obligations
of the Lenders under this Agreement are several. The default by any Lender in
making a Loan in accordance with any of its Commitments shall not relieve the
other Lenders of their obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any
default by any Lender in making any Loan, each

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 82

<PAGE>

[ ] nondefaulting Lender shall be obligated to make its Loan but shall not be
obligated to advance the amount which the defaulting Lender was required to
advance hereunder. In no event shall any Lender be required to advance an amount
or amounts with respect to any of the Loans which would in the aggregate exceed
such Lender's Commitment with respect to such Loans. No Lender shall be
responsible for any act or omission of any other Lender.

     Section 12.7   Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the
Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders will
have the right to appoint another Lender as a successor Administrative Agent. If
no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws
of the U.S. or any state thereof or of a foreign country if acting through its
U.S. branch and having combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent, such
successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties of the resigning
Administrative Agent, and the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. After any Administrative Agent's resignation as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Article 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Administrative Agent. Each Administrative Agent (including each successor
Administrative Agent) agrees that, so long as it is acting as Administrative
Agent under this Agreement, it shall be a Lender under this Agreement.

RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLD
EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES), CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,

BORROWERS OF ANY MATERIAL REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR OTHER AGREEMENT
CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (D) THE USE OR PROPOSED USE OF ANY LOAN,

ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LOSS, DAMAGE OR CLAIM IS
THE DIRECT RESULT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE PERSON TO BE
INDEMNIFIED, OR (F) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER
PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BROUGHT BY THE BORROWERS,
ANY CREDITOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON; BUT EXCLUDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING TO THE
EXTENT CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE PERSON TO BE

LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH
PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION 13.2 SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND
HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES), CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS,
DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) ARISING
OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON.
WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE SURVIVAL OF ANY OTHER TERM OR PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS UNDER THIS SECTION 13.2 SHALL
SURVIVE THE REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND TERMINATION OF THE
COMMITMENTS.

     Section 13.3   Limitation of Liability. None of the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney or agent
thereof shall be liable for any error of judgment or act done in good faith, or
be otherwise liable or responsible under any circumstances whatsoever (including
such Person's negligence), except for such Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate,
officer, director, employee, attorney or agent thereof shall have any liability
with respect to, and the Borrowers hereby waive, release and agree not to sue
any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental or
consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrowers or any Affiliate of
the Borrowers in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Borrowers
hereby waive, release and agree not to sue the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees,
attorneys or agents for exemplary or punitive damages in respect of any claim in
connection with, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

     Section 13.4   No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers and other
professional Persons and consultants retained by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the

whatsoever to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates or any other Person.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 85

     Section 13.5   No Fiduciary Relationship. The relationship between the
Borrowers and each Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary or other special
relationship with the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, and no term or
condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the
relationship between the Borrowers and any Lender, or such Affiliate and any
Lender, to be other than that of debtor and creditor. No joint venture or
partnership is created by this Agreement among the Lenders or among the
Borrowers or any of their Affiliates and the Lenders.

     Section 13.6   Equitable Relief. The Borrowers recognize that, in the event
they fail to pay, perform, observe or discharge any or all of the Obligations,
any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders. The Borrowers therefore agree that the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, if the Administrative Agent or the Lenders so request, shall be
entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without
the necessity of proving actual damages.

     Section 13.7   No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising,
and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

     [ ] Section 13.8 Successors and Assigns.

     (a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The Borrowers may
not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any Lender may sell participations in all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii)
such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrowers for the performance
of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes for
all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (v) the
Lenders shall not grant any participation under which the participant shall have
the right to approve (or under which the consent of the participant must be
obtained prior to the Lenders' being able to approve) any amendment or waiver of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent that such
amendment or waiver (A) increases any Commitment, (B) reduces the interest rate
or the amount of principal or fees applicable to the Loans or Commitments in
which such participant is participating, (C) extends the Revolving Loans
Maturity Date or the Term Loans Maturity Date any Term Loan, (D) releases any of
the Collateral (except as provided for herein or in any other Loan Document) or
any guaranty of the Obligations, or (E) releases any Loan Party from its
monetary Obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

     (b)  The Borrowers and each of the Lenders agree that any Lender (the
"Assigning Lender") may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all
or any part of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including, without limitation, its Commitments and/or Loans)
(each an "Assignee"); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment may be of
a varying percentage of the Assigning Lender's rights and/or obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and may relate to some but not all
of such rights and/or obligations, (ii) except in the case of an assignment of
all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, the amount of the Commitment(s) and/or Loans of the Assigning Lender
being assigned pursuant to each assignment (determined as of the date of the
Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be
less than $5,000,000 calculated based upon the aggregate amount of the
Commitment(s) and/or Loans assigned and (iii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its
acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with the Note subject to such assignment, and a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and
recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the
execution thereof or such other date as may be approved by the Administrative
Agent, (1) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto as a "Lender" and, to
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender hereunder and under the Loan

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 87

<PAGE>

[ ] Documents, and (2) the Assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and, in the case
of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of a
Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall
cease to be a party thereto, provided that such Lender's rights under Article 4,
Section 13.1 and Section 13.2 accrued through the date of assignment shall
continue). The Borrowers will provide full and prompt assistance to each Lender
as it may reasonably request from time to time in connection with such Lender's
efforts to assign its Commitments and/or Loans or sell any participation
interest therein. Such assistance shall include, without limitation, making
senior officers of the Borrowers available for meetings with prospective Lenders
and participants and providing (in a timely manner) such assistance as may be
reasonably requested by such Lender and/or its advisors, including, without
limitation, providing information to and responding to inquiries from such
prospective Lenders and participants with respect to the businesses, operations,
business plan, financial condition and results of operations of the Borrowers.
In the event that syndication of the Loans cannot be achieved in a manner
satisfactory to Bank of America, N.A. under the existing structure, the
Borrowers agree that Bank of America, N.A. shall be entitled, in consultation
with the Borrowers, to change the pricing, structure or other terms of the Loans
if Bank of America, N.A. determines that such changes are advisable to ensure a
successful syndication or an optimal credit structure, provided that the total
amount of the Loans remains unchanged. The agreement in this paragraph shall
survive the Closing Date.

     (c)  By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
Assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such Assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Loan
Documents or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such Assigning Lender makes no representation
or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial
condition or results of operations of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates
or the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates of
its obligations under the Loan Documents; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it
has received a copy of the Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial
statements referred to in Section 7.2 and such other documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to
enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or such
Assigning Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such
Assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such Assignee appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such Assignee agrees that it will
perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms
of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

[ ]

     (d)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a copy
of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from
time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes under the Loan
Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

     (e)  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
Assigning Lender and Assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee,
together with the Note(s) subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent
shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and
(iii) give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers. Within five Business
Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrowers, at their expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for each surrendered
Note evidencing the Loans assigned, a new Note evidencing such Loans payable to
the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to such Loans assigned to
it and, if the Assigning Lender has retained any Loans, a new Note evidencing
each such Loans payable to the order of the Assigning Lender in the amount of
such Loans retained by it (each such promissory note shall constitute a "Note"
for purposes of the Loan Documents). Such new Notes shall be dated the effective
date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially
the form of Exhibit C-1 and Exhibit C-2 hereto.

     (f)  Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 13.8, disclose to
the Assignee or participant or proposed Assignee or participant any information
relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates furnished to such Lender by
or on behalf of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates; provided that each
such actual or proposed Assignee or participant shall agree to be bound by the
provisions of Section 13.21.

     (g)  Any Lender may assign and pledge any Note held by it to any Federal
Reserve Bank or the U.S. Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation
A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating
circular issued by such Federal Reserve System and/or Federal Reserve Bank;
provided, however, that any payment made by the Borrowers for the benefit of
such assigning and/or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents shall satisfy the Borrowers' obligations under the Loan Documents in
respect thereof to the extent of such payment. No such assignment and/or pledge
shall release the assigning and/or pledging Lender from its obligations
hereunder.

     (h)  The Borrowers shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register
(the "Registered Note Register") (which, at the request of the Borrowers (which
request the Borrowers makes by the

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 89

<PAGE>

[ ] execution of this Agreement) shall be kept by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Borrowers at no extra charge to the Borrowers at the address to
which notices to the Administrative Agent are to be sent hereunder) on which it
shall enter the name of the registered owner of each of the Loans which is
evidenced by a Registered Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 13.8, a Registered Note and the Loans evidenced
thereby may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part only by
registration of such assignment or transfer of such Registered Note and the
Loans evidenced thereby on the Registered Note Register (and each Registered
Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of
such Loans and the Registered Note evidencing the same shall be registered on
the Registered Note Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment
or transfer of the Registered Note evidencing such Loans, duly endorsed by (or
accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or transfer duly executed by)
the registered noteholder thereof, and thereupon one or more new Registered
Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated
assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the due presentment for registration of
transfer of any Registered Note, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent
shall treat the Person in whose name such Loans and the Registered Note(s)
evidencing the same are registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of
receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary. The Registered Note Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time upon
reasonable prior notice.

     (i)  The Borrowers will not become a party to any loan agreement, credit
agreement or similar agreement which restricts or prohibits the right or ability
of any lender which is a party thereto to become a Lender under this Agreement.

     (j)  The Borrowers shall provide prompt assistance to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders in connection with their efforts in syndicating the Loans
and Commitments. Such assistance shall include making senior officers and other
representatives of the Borrowers and their Affiliates available for meetings
with prospective Lenders and providing, in a timely manner, such assistance as
may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or its advisors,
including, without limitation, providing information to and responding to
inquiries from prospective Lenders with respect to the business, operations,
results and other matters relating to the business of the Borrowers and the
other Loan Parties.

     Section 13.9   Survival. All representations and warranties made or deemed
made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document, statement
or certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
making of the Loans, and no investigation by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the
right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to rely upon them. Without
prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of the Borrowers hereunder,
the obligations of the Borrowers under Article 4 and Sections 13.1 and 13.2
shall survive repayment of the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations and the
other Obligations.

HERETO.

     Section 13.11  Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document to which the Borrowers are a
party, nor any consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be agreed or consented to by the
Required Lenders and the Borrowers in writing, 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 amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders and the Borrowers, do any of
the following: (a) increase the Commitments of the Lenders (or any Lender) or
subject the Lenders to any additional obligations; (b) reduce the principal of,
or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder; (c)
postpone any date fixed for any payment (including, without limitation, any
mandatory prepayment) of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or
other amounts payable hereunder; (d) change the commitment percentages or the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans or the number or interests of the
Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any
action under this Agreement; (e) change any provision contained in Section 3.2,
3.3 or 5.1 or this Section 13.11 or modify the definition of "Eligible
Receivables," "Required Lenders," "Borrowing Base" contained in Section 1.1; or
(f) except as expressly authorized by this Agreement, release any Collateral
from any of the Liens created by the Security Documents; and provided further,
however, that no amendment, waiver or consent relating to Sections 12.1, 12.2,
12.3, 12.4 or 12.5 shall require the agreement of the Borrowers. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.11, no amendment, waiver
or consent shall be made with respect to (i) Article 12 hereof without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, or (ii) any condition precedent set
forth in Article 6 with respect to the making of any Term Loans or the Revolving
Loans without the prior written consent of the Lenders that hold, at the time of
such amendment, waiver or consent, at least a majority (in Dollar amount) of the
Term Loans Facility Shares or the Revolving Loans Commitments, respectively.

     Section 13.12  Maximum Interest Rate.

     (a)  No interest rate specified in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall at any time exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time the interest
rate (the "Contract Rate") for any Obligation shall exceed the Maximum Rate,
thereby causing the interest accruing on such Obligation to be limited to the
Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Contract Rate for such
Obligation shall not reduce the rate of interest on such Obligation below the
Maximum Rate until the

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 91

<PAGE>

aggregate amount of interest accrued on such Obligation equals the aggregate
amount of interest [ ] which would have accrued on such Obligation if the
Contract Rate for such Obligation had at all times been in effect.

     (b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, none of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract or
obligation to pay interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate; and neither
the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall ever charge, receive, take,
collect, reserve or apply, as interest on the Obligations, any amount in excess
of the Maximum Rate. The parties hereto agree that any interest, charge, fee,
expense or other obligation provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents which constitutes interest under applicable law shall be, ipso facto
and under any and all circumstances, limited or reduced to an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) the amount of such interest, charge, fee, expense or other
obligation that would be payable in the absence of this Section 13.12(b) or (ii)
an amount, which when added to all other interest payable under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, equals the Maximum Rate. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent or any Lender ever contracts for, charges,
receives, takes, collects, reserves or applies as interest any amount in excess
of the Maximum Rate, such amount which would be deemed excessive interest shall
be deemed a partial payment or prepayment of principal of the Obligations and
treated hereunder as such; and if the Obligations, or applicable portions
thereof, are paid in full, any remaining excess shall promptly be paid to the
Borrowers. In determining whether the interest paid or payable, under any
specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, (i) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or
premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or
unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated
term of the Obligations, or applicable portions thereof, so that the interest
rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate at any time during the term of the
Obligations; provided that, if the unpaid principal balance is paid and
performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if
the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as appropriate, shall
refund to the Borrowers the amount of such excess and, in such event, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be subject to any penalties
provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, receiving, taking,
collecting, reserving or applying interest in excess of the Maximum Rate.

     Section 13.13  Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrowers are a
party shall be given or made by telecopy or in writing and telecopied, mailed by
certified mail return receipt requested or delivered to the intended recipient

address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party

HELP RIGHTS, FORECLOSE UPON SUCH PROPERTY, OR OBTAIN SUCH PROVISIONAL OR

exists.

         Section 13.21 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to exercise its best
efforts to keep any information delivered or made available by the Borrowers to
it which is clearly indicated to be confidential information, confidential from
