recruiting and retaining key employees, directors or consultants of
outstanding ability and to motivate such employees, directors or consultants
to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates by
providing incentives through the granting of Awards.  The Company expects
that it will benefit from the added interest which such key employees,
directors or consultants will have in the welfare of the Company as a result
of their proprietary interest in the Company's success.

          such Composite Tape or such national securities exchange on such
          date or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealer

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

          determine in good faith.  The Permanent Disability determination

3.   Shares Subject to the Plan

          The total number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan is
4,579,000.  The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of unissued Shares
or treasury Shares.  The issuance of Shares or the payment of cash upon the
exercise of an Award shall reduce the total number of Shares available under
the Plan, as applicable.  Shares which are subject to Awards which terminate
or lapse may be granted again under the Plan.

4.   Administration

     (a)  The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which may delegate
its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof
consisting solely of at least two individuals who are intended to qualify as
"non-employee directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Act (or
any successor rule thereto) and "outside directors" within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto).  Awards may,
in the discretion of the Committee, be made under the Plan in assumption of,
or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by the Company
or its affiliates or a company acquired by the Company or with which the
Company combines.  The number of Shares underlying such substitute awards
shall be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards
under the Plan.  The Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan, to
establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan,
and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for
the administration of the Plan.  The Committee may correct any defect or
supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner
and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable.  Any decision

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as
described herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall
be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, but not
limited to, Participants and their beneficiaries or successors).  The
Committee shall have the full power and authority to establish the terms and
conditions of any Award consistent with the provisions of the Plan and to
waive any such terms and conditions at any time (including, without
limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions).  The Committee
shall require payment of any amount it may determine to be necessary to
withhold for federal, state, local or other taxes as a result of the exercise
of an Award.  Unless the Committee specifies otherwise, the Participant may
elect to pay a portion or all of such withholding taxes by (a) delivery in
Shares or (b) having Shares withheld by the Company from any Shares that
would have otherwise been received by the Participant.

     (b)  Pursuant to applicable law, the Company shall provide all
Participants with a copy of the Company's financial statements at least
annually.

5.   Limitations

          No Award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary
of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that
date.

6.   Terms and Conditions of Options

          Options granted under the Plan shall be, as determined by the
Committee, non-qualified or incentive stock options for federal income tax
purposes, as evidenced by the related Award agreements, and shall be subject
to the foregoing and the following terms and conditions and to such other
terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the Committee shall
determine:

          (a)  Option Price.  The Option Price per Share shall be determined
by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of
the Shares on the date an Option is granted; provided, however, that the
Option Price per Share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value
on the date an Option is granted to any Participant who owns stock in the
Company possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or its parent or subsidiary corporations.

          (b)  Exercisability.  Options granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such time and upon such terms and conditions as may be
determined by the Committee, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable
at a rate that is less than 20% per year over five years from the date the
Option is granted, subject to reasonable conditions, such as requirement of

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

continued employment.  However, in the case of an Option granted to officers,
directors, or consultants of the Company or any of its affiliates, the Option
may become fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions, such as the
requirement of  continued employment, at any time or during any period
established by the Committee more than ten years after the date it is
granted.

          (c)  Exercise of Options.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan
or in an Award agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to
time any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable.  For purposes
of Section 6 of the Plan, the exercise date of an Option shall be the later
of the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company and, if
applicable, the date payment is received by the Company pursuant to clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii) in the following sentence.  The purchase price for the
Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company in
full at the time of exercise at the election of the Participant (i) in cash
or its equivalent (e.g., by check), (ii) in Shares having a Fair Market Value
equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and
satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee;
provided, that such Shares have been held by the Participant for no less than
six months (or such other period as established from time to time by the
Committee or generally accepted accounting principles), (iii) partly in cash
and partly in such Shares or (iv) through the delivery of irrevocable
instruments to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to
the aggregate option price for the shares being purchased.  No Participant
shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with
respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given
written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such Shares and,
if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed by the Committee
pursuant to the Plan.

          (d)  ISOs.  The Committee may grant Options under the Plan that are
intended to be ISOs.  Such ISOs shall comply with the requirements of Section
422 of the Code (or any successor section thereto).  No ISO may be granted to
any Participant who at the time of such grant, owns more than ten percent of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of
any Subsidiary, unless (i) the Option Price for such ISO is at least 110% of
the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is granted and (ii) the
date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than the day preceding
the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted.  Any
Participant who disposes of Shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO
either (i) within two years after the date of grant of such ISO or
(ii) within one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant,
shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon
such disposition.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

          (e)  Attestation.  Wherever in this Plan or any agreement
evidencing an Award a Participant is permitted to pay the exercise price of
an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering
Shares, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the
Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof of
beneficial ownership of such Shares, in which case the Company shall treat
the Option as exercised without further payment and shall withhold such
number of Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.

7.   Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights

          (a)  Grants.  The Committee also may grant (i) a Stock Appreciation
Right independent of an Option or (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right in
connection with an Option, or a portion thereof.  A Stock Appreciation Right
granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted
at the time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the
exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same
Shares covered by an Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee
may determine) and (C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as
such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by
this Section 7 (or such additional limitations as may be included in an Award
agreement).

          (b)  Terms.  The exercise price per Share of a Stock Appreciation
Right shall be an amount determined by the Committee but in no event shall
such amount be less than the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share
on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted or, in the case of a
Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion
thereof, the Option Price of the related Option and (ii) an amount permitted
by applicable laws, rules, by-laws or policies of regulatory authorities or
stock exchanges.  Each Stock Appreciation Right granted independent of an
Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to
(i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share
over (B) the exercise price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares
covered by the Stock Appreciation Right.  Each Stock Appreciation Right
granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, shall entitle a
Participant to surrender to the Company the unexercised Option, or any
portion thereof, and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an
amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise
date of one Share over (B) the Option Price per Share, times (ii) the number
of Shares covered by the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered.
The date a notice of exercise is received by the Company shall be the
exercise date.  Payment shall be made in Shares or in cash, or partly in
Shares and partly in cash (any such Shares valued at such Fair Market Value),
all as shall be determined by the Committee.  Stock Appreciation Rights may
be exercised from time to time upon actual receipt by the Company of written
notice of exercise stating the number of Shares with respect to which the

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised.  No fractional Shares will be
issued in payment for Stock Appreciation Rights, but instead cash will be
paid for a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of
Shares will be rounded downward to the next whole Share.

          (c)  Limitations.  The Committee may impose, in its discretion,
such conditions upon the exercisability or transferability of Stock
Appreciation Rights as it may deem fit.

          (d)  Limited Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Committee may grant
LSARs that are exercisable upon the occurrence of specified contingent
events.  Such LSARs may provide for a different method of determining
appreciation, may specify that payment will be made only in cash and may
provide that any related Awards are not exercisable while such LSARs are
exercisable.  Unless the context otherwise requires, whenever the term "Stock
Appreciation Right" is used in the Plan, such term shall include LSARs.

8.   Other Stock-Based Awards

          (a)  Generally.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant
Awards of Shares, Awards of restricted Shares and Awards that are valued in
whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market
Value of, Shares ("Other Stock-Based Awards").  Such Other Stock-Based Awards
shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee
shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive one or
more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion
of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the
attainment of performance objectives.  Other Stock-Based Awards may be
granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom
and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made, the number of Shares to be
awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards;
whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a
combination of cash and Shares; and all other terms and conditions of such
Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and
provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid
and non-assessable).

          (b)  Performance-Based Awards.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, certain Other Stock-Based Awards granted under this
Section 8 may be granted in a manner which is deductible by the Company under
Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto) ("Performance-
Based Awards").  A Participant's Performance-Based Award shall be determined
based on the attainment of written performance goals approved by the
Committee for a performance period established by the Committee (i) while the
outcome for that performance period is substantially uncertain and (ii) no
more than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period to which

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

the performance goal relates or, if less, the number of days which is equal
to 25 percent of the relevant performance period.  The performance goals,
which must be objective, shall be based upon one or more of the following
criteria: (i) consolidated earnings before or after taxes (including earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (ii) net income;
(iii) operating income; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) book value per Share;
(vi) return on shareholders' equity; (vii) expense management; (viii) return
on investment; (ix) improvements in capital structure; (x) profitability of
an identifiable business unit or product; (xi) maintenance or improvement of
profit margins; (xii) stock price; (xiii) market share; (xiv) revenues or
sales; (xv) costs; (xvi) cash flow; (xvii) working capital and (xviii) return
on assets.  The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of
its Subsidiaries or one or more of its divisions or units, or any combination
of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative
to one or more peer group companies or indices, or any combination thereof,
all as the Committee shall determine.  In addition, to the degree consistent
with Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto), the
performance goals may be calculated without regard to extraordinary items.
The Committee shall determine whether, with respect to a performance period,
the applicable performance goals have been met with respect to a given
Participant and, if they have, to so certify and ascertain the amount of the
applicable Performance-Based Award.  No Performance-Based Awards will be paid
for such performance period until such certification is made by the
Committee.  The amount of the Performance-Based Award actually paid to a
given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable
performance goal formula, at the discretion of the Committee. A Performance-
Based Award shall include a maximum performance level above which no
increased payment will be made. The amount of the Performance-Based Award
determined by the Committee for a performance period shall be paid to the
Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion after the end of such performance period; provided, however, that
a Participant may, if and to the extent permitted by the Committee and
consistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, elect to defer
receipt of a Performance-Based Award.

9.   Adjustments Upon Certain Events

          Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan to the contrary,
the following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted under the Plan:

          (a)  Generally.  In the event of any change in the outstanding
Shares after the Effective Date by reason of any Share dividend or split,
reverse Share split reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
spin-off, reclassification, combination or transaction or exchange of Shares

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

or other corporate exchange, or any distribution to shareholders of Shares
other than regular cash dividends or any transaction similar to the
foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion and without liability to any
person may make such substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems to be
equitable, as to (i) the number or kind of Shares or other securities issued
or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan or pursuant to outstanding
Awards, (ii) the Option Price or exercise price of any stock appreciation
right and/or (iii) any other affected terms of such Awards.

          (b)  Change in Control. In the event of a Change of Control after
the Effective Date, (i) the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to,
provide that any outstanding Awards then held by Participants which are
unexercisable or otherwise unvested shall automatically be deemed exercisable
or otherwise vested, as the case may be, as of immediately prior to such
Change of Control and (ii) the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to,
make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in
consideration for the cancellation of such Award which, in the case of
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, shall equal the excess, if any, of the
Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights over the aggregate exercise price of such Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights.

10.  No Right to Employment or Awards

          The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation
on the Company or any Subsidiary to continue the employment or service or
consulting relationship of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the
Company's or Subsidiary's right to terminate the employment or service or
consulting relationship of such Participant.  No Participant or other Person
shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of
Awards.  The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee's
determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same
with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are
similarly situated).

11.  Successors and Assigns

          The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the
Company and a Participant, including without limitation, the estate of such
Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any
receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant's
creditors.

                                     -10-

<PAGE>

12.  Nontransferability of Awards

          Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an Award shall not be
transferable or assignable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that in no event
shall an Option be transferable or assignable by the Participant otherwise
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, under certain
circumstances pursuant to applicable law (including, without limitation,
gifts to "immediate family"members).  An Award exercisable after the death of
a Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or
distributees of the Participant.

13.  Amendments or Termination

          The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no
amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which, (a) without the
approval of the shareholders of the Company, would (except as is provided in
Section 9 of the Plan), increase the total number of Shares reserved for the
purposes of the Plan or change the maximum number of Shares for which Awards
may be granted to any Participant or (b) without the consent of a
Participant, would impair any of the rights or obligations under any Award

of the cash proceeds (net of reasonable transaction costs and taxes) from (A)
non-ordinary course sales of assets or other dispositions of Property owned by
the Company, but excluding such cash proceeds which are reinvested in the
business of the Company within 180 days after the consummation of such sale or
disposition pursuant to a plan for such reinvestment provided to the Agent no
later than ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of such sale or
disposition; (B) the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' initial public
offering, (C) private placements of equity or equity-linked products of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, other than to Holdings, the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or any Permitted Investor, and (D) the issuance of senior debt,
other than debt permitted to be incurred under Section 7.5, and (ii) in an
amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the cash proceeds (net of
reasonable transaction costs and taxes) from the issuance of subordinated debt.
Mandatory prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then

remaining installments of the Term Loan A Loans and Term Loan B Loans, as the
case may be, pro rata based upon the then remaining principal amount thereof.

     2.8 Repayment. (a) Term Loan A. The Company shall repay to Banks the
principal of the Term Loan A Loans in eleven (11) equal installments commencing
on May 1, 2000 and continuing on each November 1, February 1, May 1 and August 1
thereafter through and including November 1, 2002. Notwithstanding the above,
the Company shall repay all unpaid principal of Term Loan A Loans and all
outstanding interest thereon and all costs, charges and expenses with respect
thereto, on November 1, 2002.

     (b) Term Loan B. The Company shall repay to Banks the principal of the Term
Loan B Loans as follows: (i) $120,000 of the principal of the Term Loan B Loans
shall be due and payable on November 1, 2000 and on each November 1 thereafter
through and including November 1, 2003; and (ii) all remaining unpaid principal
of Term Loan B Loans and all outstanding interest thereon and all costs, charges
and expenses with respect thereto, shall be due and payable on November 1, 2004.

     (c) The Revolving Credit. The Company shall repay to Banks on the Revolving
Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and all
outstanding interest thereon and all costs, charges and expenses with respect
thereto.

     2.9 Interest. (a) Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum
equal to the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be (and subject
to the Company's right to convert to other Types of Loans under Section 2.4),
plus the Applicable Margin.

     (b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of Loans under
Section 2.6 or 2.7 for the portion of the Loans so prepaid and upon payment
(including prepayment) in full thereof and, during the existence of any Event of
Default, interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with
the consent of the Majority Banks.

     (c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, while any amount owed
by the Company to Banks is past due, the Company shall pay interest (after as
well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on such
amount at a rate per annum which is determined by adding 2% per annum to the
Applicable Margin then in effect for such amount and, in the case of past-due
amounts not subject to an Applicable Margin, at a rate per annum equal to the
Base Rate plus 2%; provided, however, that, on and after the expiration of any
Interest Period applicable to any past-due Eurodollar Rate Loan, the past-due
amount of such Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base
Rate plus 2%.

                                                                              26

     (d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the
Company to any Bank hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments
of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed
hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or
receiving such payment by such Bank would be contrary to the provisions of any
law applicable to such Bank limiting the highest rate of interest that may be
lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Bank, and in such event the
Company shall pay such Bank interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable
law.

     2.10 Fees. (a) Fee Letter. The Company shall pay to the Agent for the
account of Banks, such fees as are set forth in the Fee Letter ("Fee Letter")
between the Company and the Agent dated September 22, 1999.

     (b) Commitment Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of
each Bank a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of such Bank's
Revolving Commitment, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the first
Business Day of each November, February, May and August based upon the daily
utilization for that quarter as calculated by the Agent, equal to seventy-five
hundredths of one-percent (0.75%) per annum. Such commitment fee shall accrue
from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date and shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each November,
February, May and August, commencing on February 1, 2000 through the Revolving
Termination Date, with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Termination
Date; provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination of
Commitments under Section 2.5, the accrued commitment fee calculated for the
period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or
termination, with the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis
of the period from such reduction or termination date to such quarterly payment
date. The commitment fees provided in this subsection shall accrue at all times
after the above-mentioned commencement date, including at any time during which
one or more conditions in Article IV are not met.

     2.11 Computation of Fees and Interest. (a) All computations of interest for
Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by CSFB's "reference rate"
shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made
on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall
accrue during each period during which such interest or fees are computed from
the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

     (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive
and binding on the Company and Banks in the absence of manifest error. The Agent
will, at the request of the Company or any Bank, deliver to the Company or the
Bank, as the case may be, a statement showing the quotations used by the Agent
in determining any interest rate and the resulting interest rate.

                                                                              27

     2.12 Payments by the Company. (a) All payments to be made by the Company
shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by the Company shall be made to the
Agent for the account of Banks at the Agent's Payment Office, and shall be made
in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the date specified herein. The Agent will promptly distribute to
each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received. Any payment received by the
Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been
received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue.

     (b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of "Interest
Period" herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as
the case may be.

     (c) Unless the Agent receives notice from the Company prior to the date on
which any payment is due to Banks that the Company will not make such payment in
full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Company has made such
payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the
Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due
such Bank. If and to the extent the Company has not made such payment in full to
the Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed
to such Bank, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each
day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date repaid.

     2.13 Payments by Banks to the Agent. (a) Unless the Agent receives notice
from a Bank on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing
after the Closing Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such
Borrowing, that such Bank will not make available as and when required hereunder
to the Agent for the account of the Company the amount of that Bank's Pro Rata
Share of the Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Bank has made such amount
available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and
the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Company on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the
extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount available to the Agent in
immediately available funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made
available to the Company such amount, that Bank shall on the Business Day
following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Agent, together
with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period. A
notice of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under
this subsection (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount
is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Bank's
Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount
is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day following the
<PAGE>

                                                                              28

Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify the Company of such failure to fund and,
upon demand by the Agent, the Company shall pay such amount to the Agent for the
Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the
date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

     (b) The failure of any Bank to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date shall
not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such
Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date.

     2.14 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If, other than as expressly provided
elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any
payment (whether voluntantary involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder), such Bank shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of
such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Banks such participations in the
Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share
the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or
any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing
Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Bank shall
repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price paid therefor, together with an
amount equal to such paying Bank's ratable share (according to the proportion of
(i) the amount of such paying Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The
Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.10) with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the
Company in the amount of such participation. The Agent will keep records (which
shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of
participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify Banks
following any such purchases or repayments.

     2.15 Security. All obligations of the Company and the Subsidiaries under
this Agreement, any Notes and all other Loan Documents shall be secured in
accordance with the Collateral Documents.

                                   ARTICLE III

                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.1 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Company to each Bank or the
Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes. In addition, the
Company shall pay all Other Taxes.

     (b) If the Company shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes
or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank or
the Agent, then:

          (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after
     making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and
     withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section),
     such Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount
     equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions
     or withholdings been made;

          (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and withholdings; and

          (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to
     the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with
     applicable law.

     (c) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and the
Agent for the full amount of (i) Taxes and (ii) Other Taxes, and penalties,
interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this
indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Bank or the
Agent makes written demand therefor.

     (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Company of Taxes or
Other Taxes, the Company shall furnish to each Bank or the Agent the original or
a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of
payment satisfactory to such Bank or the Agent.

     (e) If the Company is required to pay any amount to any Bank or the Agent
pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this Section, then such Bank shall use
reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change
the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional
payment by the Company which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the
reasonable judgment of such Bank is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

     (f) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of tax,
with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Company with
a copy to the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

                                                                              30

     (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not
be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1 with
respect to Taxes or Other Taxes that are (i) attributable to the Bank's failure
to comply with Section 3.1(f), (ii) U. S. withholding taxes that were imposed at
the time the Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement or (iii) U. S. withholding
taxes that are imposed other than as a result of a change in treaty, law or
regulation or the application or interpretation thereof.

     (h) If a Bank or the Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to
receive a refund in respect of amounts paid by the Company pursuant to this
Section, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Bank is allocable to
such payment, it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability of such
refund and shall, within 30 days after the receipt of a request by the Company,
apply for such refund. If any Bank or the Agent receives a refund in respect of
any amounts paid by the Company pursuant to this Section, which refund in the
good faith judgment of such Bank is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly
notify the Company of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt, repay
such refund to the Company net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Bank or the
Agent; provided, however, that the Company, upon the request of such Bank or the
Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company to such Bank or the
Agent in the event such Bank or the Agent is required to repay such refund.

     3.2 Illegality. (a) If any Bank determines that the introduction of any
Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it
unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make
Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on written notice thereof by the Bank to the
Company through the Agent, any obligation of that Bank to make Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended until the Bank notifies the Agent and the Company that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

     (b) If a Bank determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Eurodollar
Rate Loan, the Company shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand
from such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such Eurodollar Rate
Loans of that Bank then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and
amounts required under Section 3.4. either on the last day of the Interest
Period thereof, if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar
Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan. If the Company is required to so prepay any
Eurodollar Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Company shall
borrow from the affected Bank, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate
Loan.

     (c) If the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans
has been so terminated or suspended, the Company may elect, by giving notice to
the Bank through
<PAGE>

                                                                              31

the Agent, that all Loans which would otherwise be made by the Bank as
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

     3.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. (a) If any Bank determines
that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change
by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the
calculation of the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate or in respect of the
assessment rate payable by any Bank to the FDIC for insuring U.S. deposits) in
or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that
Bank with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase
in the cost to such Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Company shall be liable for, and shall from
time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent),
pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank, additional amounts as are
sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased costs.

     (b) If any Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any
Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation,
(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy
Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Bank (or its
Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Bank with any Capital
Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by the Bank or any corporation controlling the Bank
and (taking into consideration such Bank's or such corporation's policies with
respect to capital adequacy and such Bank's desired return on capital) such Bank
determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its
Commitment, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon
demand of such Bank to the Company through the Agent, the Company shall pay to
the Bank, from time to time as specified by the Bank, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate the Bank for such increase.

     (c) The Company shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this
Section 3.3 for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the
date that such Bank notifies the Company of the change of law or circumstance
giving rise to such increased costs and of such Bank's intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided that, if the change of law or circumstance
giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, that such 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

     3.4 Funding Losses. The Company shall reimburse each Bank and hold each
Bank harmless from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur as a
consequence of:
<PAGE>

                                                                              32

          (a) the failure of the Company to make on a timely basis any payment
     of principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan;

          (b) the failure of the Company to borrow, continue or convert a Loan
     after the Company has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of
     Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;

          (c) the failure of the Company to make any prepayment in accordance
     with any notice delivered under Section 2.6;

          (d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 2.7) or other
     payment (including after acceleration thereof) of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on
     a day that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Period; or

          (e) the automatic conversion under Section 2.4 of any Eurodollar Rate
     Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the relevant
     Interest Period; including any such loss or expense arising from the
     Liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its
     Eurodollar Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
     which such funds were obtained, but excluding lost profits. For purposes of
     calculating amounts payable by the Company to Banks under this Section and
     under subsection 3.3(a), each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by a Bank (and each
     related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be
     conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining
     the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by a matching deposit or
     other borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount
     and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan is in
     fact so funded.

     3.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for any
reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar
Rate Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to subsection 2.9(a)
for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate
Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Bank of funding such
Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Bank in writing.
Thereafter, the obligation of Banks to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans,
as the case may be, hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such
notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any
Notice of Borrowing, or Notice of Conversion/ ontinuation then submitted by it.
If the Company does not revoke such Notice, Banks shall make, convert or
continue the Loans, as proposed by the Company, in the amount specified in the
applicable notice submitted by the Company, but such Loans shall be made,
converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Eurodollar Rate Loans, as
the case may be.

     3.6 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Company in this Article
III shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

     3.7 Replacement of Banks. The Company shall be permitted to replace any
Bank that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.1,
3.3 or 3.4 or (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a
replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not
conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any
such replacement, such Bank shall have taken no action under Section 3.1 so as
to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section
3.1, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all
Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Bank on or prior to the date of
replacement, (v) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Bank,
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (vi) the replaced Bank shall be
obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section
10.8 (provided that the Company shall be obligated to pay the registration and
processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement
shall be consummated, the Company shall pay all additional amounts (if any)
required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.3 or 3.4, as the case may be, and (viii) any
such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the
Company, the Agent or any other Bank shall have against the replaced Bank.

     failure to be so qualified or licensed could not reasonably be expected to
     have a Material Adverse Effect; and

          (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, unless such failure
     to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
     Effect.

     5.2 Corporate Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of this Agreement and each other
Loan Document to which such Person is party, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action, and do not and will not:

     Documents;

          (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the
     creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any Contractual
     Obligation to which such Person is a party or any order, injunction, writ
     or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Person or its
     property is subject, in each case the violation of which could reasonably
     be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or

     5.3 Governmental Authorization. No approval, consent, exemption,
authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any

performance by, or enforcement against, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligations of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to the extent
it is a party thereto, enforceable against such Person in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
<PAGE>

                                                                              38

                                    THE AGENT

     9.1 Appointment and Authorization; "Agent". Each Bank hereby irrevocably
(subject to Section 9.9) appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other
Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent
have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference
to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended
to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties.

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

     9.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct),
or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of Banks for any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of
the Company, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document, or for the value of and title to any Collateral, or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness,
<PAGE>

                                                                              62

genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or for any failure of the Company or any other party to any Loan
Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related
Person shall be under any obligation to any Bank to ascertain or to inquire as
to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of the Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries
or Affiliates.

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

     (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in
Section 4.1, each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have
consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or
other matter either sent by the Agent to such Bank for consent, approval,
acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or
approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Bank.

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

     9.6 Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related
Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the
Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty
by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank. Each Bank represents to the Agent that
it has, independently and without reliance upon any AgentRelated Person and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and credit worthiness of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement and to extend credit to the Company and its Subsidiaries hereunder.
Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary
to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition and credit worthiness of the Company. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Banks
by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition or credit worthiness of the
Company which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

     9.7 Indemnification of Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, Banks shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related
Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company and without
limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), pro rata, from and against any
and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however that no Bank shall be liable
for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the
Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery,. administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein
to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf
of the Company, The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all
Obligations hereunder and the designation or replacement of the Agent.

     9.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. CSFB and its Affiliates may make loans
to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire
equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though CSFB were not the Agent
<PAGE>

                                                                              64

hereunder and without notice to or consent of Banks. The Banks acknowledge that,
pursuant to such activities, CSFB or its Affiliates may receive information
regarding the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be
subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such
Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to
provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, CSFB shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Bank" and "Banks"
include CSFB in its individual capacity.

     9.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may, and at the request of the Majority
Banks shall, resign as Agent upon 30 days' notice to Banks. If the Agent resigns
under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among Banks a
successor agent for Banks. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the
effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after
consulting with Banks and the Company, a successor agent from among Banks. Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor
agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent
and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent's
appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring
Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and
Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no
successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days
following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Banks shall
perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Majority Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

     9.10 Withholding Tax. (a) If any Bank is a "foreign corporation,
partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code and such Bank claims
exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or
1442 of the Code, such Bank agrees with and in favor of the Agent. to deliver to
the Agent:

          (i) if such Bank claims an exemption from, or a reduction of,
     withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, two properly completed
     and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN before the payment of any interest
     in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each
     third succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid under this
     Agreement;

          (ii) if such Bank claims that interest paid under this Agreement is
     exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively
     connected with a United States trade or business of such Bank, two properly
     completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the payment of any
     interest is due in the first taxable year of such Bank and in each
     succeeding taxable year of such Bank during which interest may be paid
     under this Agreement; and
<PAGE>

                                                                              65

          (iii) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or
     other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or
     reduction of, United States withholding tax.

Such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances
which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

     (b) If any Bank claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax
under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Bank
sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of
the Obligations of the Company to an Eligible Assignee, such Bank agrees to
notify the Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the
beneficial owner of Obligations of the Company. To the extent of such percentage
amount, the Agent will treat such Bank's IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid.

     (c) If any Bank claiming exemption from United States withholding tax
sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of
the Obligations of the Company to an Eligible Assignee, such Eligible Assignee
agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax
requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

     (d) If any Bank is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding
tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank an amount
equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such
reduction. However, if the forms or other documentation required by subsection
(a) of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent may withhold
from any interest payment to such Bank not providing such forms or other
documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by
Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.

     (e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or
other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax
from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank (because the appropriate
form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Bank failed
to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption
from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective. or for an other reason) such
Bank shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest,
and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to
the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including
Attorney Costs). The obligation of Banks under this subsection shall survive the
payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such
Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect

the Agent or Banks, or the Agent or Banks exercise their right of set-off, and

or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or
such Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other

                                                                              69

occurred, and (b) each Bank severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its
pro rata share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent.

     10.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Agent and each Bank.

     10.8 Assignments, Participations, etc. (a) Any Bank may, with the written
consent of the Company (except no consent shall be required from the Company
when a Default or an Event of Default Exists, and in any event shall not be
unreasonably withheld) and Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees
(provided that no written consent of the Company or Agent shall be required in
connection with any assignment and delegation by a Bank to an Eligible Assignee
that is an Affiliate of such Bank) (each an "Assignee") all, or any ratable part
of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of
such Bank hereunder, in a minimum amount of $2,500.000: provided, however, that
the Company and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such
Bank in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i)
written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses
and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to
the Company and the Agent by such Bank and the Assignee; (ii) such Bank and its
Assignee shall have delivered to the Company and the Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit I together with
any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and (iii) the assignor Bank or
Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.

     (b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Bank that
it has received (and provided its consent with respect to) an executed
Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee,
(i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank under
the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Bank shall, to the extent that rights
and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned
by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

     (c) Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Agent that
it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the
processing fee, the Company shall upon request execute and deliver to the Agent,
new Notes evidencing such Assignee's assigned Loans and Commitment and, if the
assignor Bank has retained a portion of its Loans and its Commitment,
replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Revolving Loans retained by the
assignor Bank (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the
<PAGE>

                                                                              70

Notes held by such Bank). Immediately upon each Assignee's making its processing
fee payment under the Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed
to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the
addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising
therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such
Commitments of the assigning Bank pro tanto.

     (d) Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other
Persons not Affiliates of the Company (a "Participant") participating interests
in any Loans, the Commitment of that Bank and the other interests of that Bank
(the "originating Bank") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that (i) the originating Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Bank shall remain solely responsible for
the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Company and the Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Bank in connection
with the originating Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Bank shall transfer or grant any participating
interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or
any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver would require
unanimous consent of Banks as described in the first proviso to Section 10.1. In
the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the
benefit of Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 10.5 as though it were also a Bank hereunder,
except that no Participant shall be entitled to any greater amount than the Bank
from which such participating interest was purchased would have been entitled,
and if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall
have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of
set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this
Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were
owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement.

     (e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Bank may at
any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its
rights under and interest in this Agreement and the Note held by it in favor of
any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S.
Treasury Regulation 31 CFR ss.203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce
such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

     10.9 Confidentiality. Each Bank agrees to take and to cause its Affiliates
to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the
confidentiality of all information identified as "confidential" or "secret" by
the Company and provided to it by the Company or any Subsidiary, or by the Agent
on the Company's or such Subsidiary's behalf, under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such
information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or
hereafter existing or
<PAGE>

                                                                              71

contemplated with the Company or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such
information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of disclosure by the Bank, or (ii) was or becomes available on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, provided that such
source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company known to the
Bank; provided, however, that any Bank may disclose such information (A) at the
request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which
the Bank is subject or in connection with an examination of such Bank by any
such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when
required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable
Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any
litigation or proceeding to which the Agent, any Bank or their respective
Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection
with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F)
to such Bank's independent auditors and other professional advisors; (G) to any
Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, provided that such Person agrees
in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of
Banks hereunder; (H) as to any Bank or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted
under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to
which the Company or any Subsidiary is party or is deemed party with such Bank
or such Affiliate; and (I) to its Affiliates.

     10.10 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Banks provided by
law, if an Event of Default exists and is continuing or the Loans have been
accelerated, each Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time. without
prior notice to the Company, any such notice being waived by the Company to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held bv,
and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Bank to or for the credit or
the account of the Company against any and all Obligations due and payable
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), now or hereafter
existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Bank shall have made
demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations
may be contingent or unmatured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company
and the Agent in writing after any such set-off and application made by such
Bank; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application.

     10.11 Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc. Each Bank shall
notify the Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to
the Bank should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment
instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such
other administrative information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

     10.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an
original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute but one and the same instrument.

     10.13 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of
this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in
any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

     10.14 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into
for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Company, Banks, the Agent and
the Agent-Related Persons, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no
other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any
direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents.
