     as required to repay Swingline Loans outstanding to the Swingline Lender
     upon demand to such Lender by telecopier (or by telephone promptly
     confirmed by telecopier) by the Swingline Lender but in no event later than
     2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the next succeeding Business Day after such

     other Lender's failure to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage
     of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment
     Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender
     to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan.

            (ii)    The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the
     amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the
     Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans
     requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the Borrower hereby
     authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the
     Borrower with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in
     order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline
     Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to
     repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be
     refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender
     shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline
     Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered
     shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their
     respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so
     recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower pertain to a Swingline Loan
     extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
     Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner
     required pursuant to Section 13.5 and which such Event of Default has not
     been waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable);
     PROVIDED that with respect to any Swingline Loan, no Lender shall be
     required to fund more than its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of
     such Swingline Loan.

            (iii)   Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
     refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2 is
     absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
     whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the
     conditions set forth in Article VI at the time of refunding. Further, each
     Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any
     outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2, one of the events
     described in

                                       17

     the proviso to the initial sentence of Section 2.1 hereof), on the date the
     applicable Revolving Credit Loans would have been made, purchase an
     undivided participating interest in the Swingline Loan to be refunded in an
     amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate
     amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the
     Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds at the office of the
     Swingline Lender, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof
     the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing
     such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such
     amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from
     any Lender such Lender's participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the
     Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline
     Lender will promptly distribute to such Lender its participating interest
     in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments,
     to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating
     interest was outstanding and funded).

Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. A Notice of
Borrowing received after 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) shall be deemed received on
the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing by telecopier (or by telephone promptly
confirmed by telecopier).

     (b)    DISBURSEMENT OF REVOLVING CREDIT AND SWINGLINE LOANS. Not later
than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the proposed borrowing date, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) each Lender will make available to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower, at the office of the
Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent,
such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit
Loans to be made on such borrowing date and (ii) the Swingline Lender will make
available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower, at the
office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Loans to be made on such borrowing date;
PROVIDED that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender
in that other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall
the commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested be
increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that
other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder. The Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds
of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section 2.3 in immediately
available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of
the Borrower identified in the most recent notice substantially in the form of
EXHIBIT C hereto (a "NOTICE OF ACCOUNT DESIGNATION") delivered by the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent from time to time. Subject to Section 5.7 hereof,
the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the
proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.3 to
the extent that any Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent
its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan. Revolving Credit Loans
to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the
Lenders as provided in Section 2.2(b).

     SECTION 2.4         REPAYMENT OF LOANS.

     (a)    REPAYMENT ON TERMINATION DATE. The Borrower hereby agrees to repay
the outstanding principal amount of (i) all Revolving Credit Loans in full on
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and (ii) all Swingline Loans in accordance
with Section 2.2(b) and otherwise in full on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date,
together, in each

                                       18

case, with all accrued but unpaid interest and fees.

     (b)    MANDATORY REPAYMENT OF REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS.

            (i)     If at any time the outstanding principal amount of all
     Revolving Credit Loans PLUS the sum of all outstanding Swingline Loans and
     L/C Obligations exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower
     agrees to repay immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent, by
     payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
     Extensions of Credit in an amount equal to such excess with each such
     repayment applied FIRST to the principal amount of outstanding Swingline
     Loans, SECOND to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans
     and THIRD, with respect to any Letters of Credit then outstanding, a
     payment of cash collateral into a cash collateral account opened by the
     Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders in an amount equal to
     the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired Dollar Amount of such Letters of
     Credit (such cash collateral to be applied in accordance with Section
     12.2(b)).

            (ii)    If at any time (as determined by the Administrative Agent
     pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii)) and for any reason, based upon the
     Dollar Amount of all outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations, (a) the
     outstanding amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the lesser of (i) the
     Aggregate Commitment LESS the sum of the amount of all outstanding Loans
     and (ii) the L/C Commitment or (b) the outstanding amount of all
     Alternative Currency L/C Obligations exceeds the Alternative Currency L/C
     Commitment, then, in each such case, the Borrower shall, at its option,
     either (A) repay Loans in an amount equal to such excess (to the extent
     such repayment will eliminate such excess) or (B) make a payment of cash
     collateral into a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative
     Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess
     (such cash collateral to be applied in accordance with Section 12.2(b)).
     The Borrower's compliance with this Section 2.4(b)(ii) shall be tested from
     time to time by the Administrative Agent at its sole discretion, but in any
     event shall be tested on the date on which the Borrower requests the
     Issuing Lender to issue a Letter of Credit under Section 3.2. Each such
     repayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii) shall be accompanied by any
     amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof.

     (c)    OPTIONAL REPAYMENTS. The Borrower may at any time and from time to
time repay the Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, in whole or in part,
upon at least three (3) Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Administrative
Agent with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and one (1) Business Day's irrevocable
notice with respect to Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, substantially in the
form attached hereto as EXHIBIT D (a "NOTICE OF PREPAYMENT") specifying the date
and amount of repayment and whether the repayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base
Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination
thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telecopier (or by
telephone promptly confirmed by telecopier). If any such notice is given, the
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth
in such notice. Partial repayments shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,500,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Base Rate
Loans (other than Swingline Loans), $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and $50,000 or a whole
multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof with respect to Swingline Loans. Each such
repayment shall be accompanied by an amount required to be paid pursuant to
Section 5.11 hereof.

     (d)    LIMITATION ON REPAYMENT OF LIBOR RATE LOANS. The Borrower may not
repay any LIBOR Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto unless such repayment is accompanied by any amount
required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof.

     (e)    HEDGING AGREEMENTS. No repayment or prepayment pursuant to this
Section 2.4 shall affect any of the Borrower's obligations under any Hedging
Agreement.

     SECTION 2.5         NOTES.

     (a)    REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES. Except as otherwise provided in Section
14.10 (a) - (e), each Lender's Revolving Credit Loans and the obligation of the

     (b)    SWINGLINE NOTES. The Swingline Loans and the obligation of the
Borrower to repay such Swingline Loans may, at the election of the Swingline
Lender, be evidenced by a Swingline Note executed by the Borrower payable to the
order of the Swingline Lender.

     SECTION 2.6         PERMANENT REDUCTION OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENT.

     (a)    VOLUNTARY REDUCTION. The Borrower shall have the right at any time
and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or
penalty, (i) the entire Revolving Credit Commitment at any time or (ii) portions
of the Revolving Credit Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal
amount not less than $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each of the Lenders thereof by telecopier (or by telephone promptly
confirmed by telecopier). The amount of each partial permanent reduction shall
permanently reduce the Lenders' Revolving Credit Commitments PRO RATA in
accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

     (b)    MANDATORY REDUCTION. The Revolving Credit Commitment shall be
permanently reduced on the date of any required prepayment under Section
4.4(b)(vi) by an amount equal to the amount of such Excess Proceeds as referred
to in such Section 4.4(b)(vi), to the extent a corresponding prepayment was made
pursuant to Section 4.4(b)(vi).

     (c)    CORRESPONDING PAYMENT. Each permanent reduction permitted or
required pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be accompanied by a payment of
principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Loans,
Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations, as applicable, after such reduction to the
Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced and if the Revolving Credit Commitment
as so reduced is less than the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, the Borrower shall be required to deposit cash collateral in a cash
collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the
aggregate then undrawn and unexpired Dollar Amount of such Letters of Credit.
Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.2(b). Any
reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by
payment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans (and
furnishing of cash collateral satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all
L/C Obligations) and shall result in the termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitment and the Swingline Commitment and the Revolving Credit Facility. Such
cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.2(b). If any
reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment requires the repayment of any LIBOR
Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid
pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof.

     SECTION 2.7         TERMINATION OF REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY. The Revolving
Credit Facility shall terminate on the earliest of (a) November 4, 2008, (b) the
date of termination by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6, or (c) the date of
termination pursuant to Section 12.2(a).

                                   ARTICLE III

                            LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

     SECTION 3.1         L/C COMMITMENT. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders
set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby or commercial Letters of
Credit for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day from the Closing Date
through but not including the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the
Issuing Lender; PROVIDED, that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to
issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the L/C
Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (b) the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, PLUS the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Swingline Loans, PLUS the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations would
exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment or (c) the Alternative Currency L/C
Obligations would exceed the Alternative Currency L/C Commitment. Each Letter of
Credit (other than the Existing Letters of Credit) shall (i) be denominated in a
Permitted Currency (ii) be in a minimum Dollar amount of $100,000 or in a Dollar
amount less than $100,000 if approved in writing by the Administrative Agent in
its sole discretion (or the Alternative Currency

                                       20
<Page>

Amount thereof with respect to Alternative Currency Letters of Credit), (iii) be
a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Borrower or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, incurred in the
ordinary course of business or a commercial letter of credit issued to purchase
goods in the ordinary course of business, (iv) expire on a date satisfactory to
the Issuing Lender, which date shall be no later than the earlier of (A) two (2)
years after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit or (B) five (5)
Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (v) be subject to
the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Application or as
determined by the Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith,
the laws of the State of North Carolina. As of the Closing Date, each of the
Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding
hereunder. The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any
Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the
Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any
Applicable Law. References herein to "issue" and derivations thereof with
respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of
any existing Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.

     SECTION 3.2         PROCEDURE FOR ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT . The
Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of
Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent's Office
an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender,
and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the
Issuing Lender may request (which information shall include the Permitted
Currency in which the Letter of Credit shall be denominated). Upon receipt of
any Application, the Issuing Lender shall process such Application and the
certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in
connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall,
subject to Section 3.1 and Article VI hereof, promptly issue the Letter of
Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required
to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than (a) three (3) Business Days, with
respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, and (b) four (4) Business
Days, with respect to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, after its
receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents
and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of
such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed
by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall promptly
furnish to the Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit and promptly notify each
Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Lender a
copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender's L/C Participation
therein by telecopier (or by telephone promptly confirmed by telecopier).

     SECTION 3.3         COMMISSIONS AND OTHER CHARGES.

     (a)    The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission
with respect to each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the face amount of
such Letter of Credit (reflected as the Dollar Amount thereof as determined by
the Administrative Agent) MULTIPLIED BY the Applicable Margin with respect to
Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans (determined on a per annum
basis). Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof,
distribute to the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all commissions
received pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

     (b)    In addition to the foregoing commission, the Borrower shall pay the
Issuing Lender an issuance fee with respect to each Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit (reflected as the
Dollar Amount thereof as determined by the Administrative Agent) multiplied by
0.125% per annum. Such issuance fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the
last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date.

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

     (d)    The commissions, fees, charges, costs and expenses payable pursuant
to this Section 3.3 shall be payable in Dollars.

     SECTION 3.4         L/C PARTICIPATIONS .

     (a)    The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to
each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of
Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees (subject to the
proviso to the initial sentence of Section 2.1 hereof) to accept and purchase
and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant's own account and risk
an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under and
in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each
draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft
is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not
reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall
(subject to the proviso to the initial sentence of Section 2.1 hereof) pay to
the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender's address for notices
specified herein an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such L/C Participant's
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part
thereof, which is not so reimbursed; PROVIDED that with respect to any draft
under any Letter of Credit, no Lender shall be required to fund more than its
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such draft or more than any amount
which would cause the sum of aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender PLUS such Lender's Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Swingline Loans PLUS such Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of all outstanding L/C Obligations to
exceed such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment.

     (b)    Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C
Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any
unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter
of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify each L/C Participant by telecopier
(or by telephone promptly confirmed by telecopier) of the amount and due date
(which shall not be less than one (1) Business Day after the giving of such
notice) of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the
Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such
amount is paid to the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such
L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such
amount, the product of (i) such amount, TIMES (ii) the daily average Federal
Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and
including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the Issuing Lender, TIMES (iii) a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the
denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Issuing Lender with respect to
any amounts owing under this Section 3.4(b) shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Lender of the
unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4(b) and subject to the second
parenthetical of the first sentence of this subsection (b), if the L/C
Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m.
(Charlotte time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business
Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on any Business Day, such payment
shall be due on the following Business Day.

     (c)    Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment
under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this
Section 3.4, the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of
Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of
interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly distribute to such
L/C Participant its PRO RATA share thereof; PROVIDED, that in the event that any
such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by
the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the
portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

     (d)    All payments made by any L/C Participant under this Section 3.4
shall be made in Dollars (based upon the Dollar Amount of the applicable
payment); PROVIDED that the Borrower shall be liable for any currency exchange
loss pursuant to the terms of Section 5.10(d).

     SECTION 3.5         REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS.

     (a)    REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWER. In the event of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to reimburse (either
with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan or a Swingline Loan as provided for
in this Section 3.5 or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, in
Dollars, the Issuing

                                       22
<Page>

Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the
date and Dollar Amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the Dollar
Amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any amounts referred to in Section
3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment
(including, without limitation, any and all costs, fees and other expenses
incurred by the Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit).

     (b)    REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION OF THE LENDERS. Unless the Borrower shall
immediately notify the Issuing Lender that the Borrower intends to reimburse the
Issuing Lender for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent
requesting that the Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan or, if less than the
minimum amount for such Loan, a Swingline Loan, in either case funded in Dollars
on such date and bearing interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin,
in the Dollar Amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any amounts referred to
in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment
(including, without limitation, any and all costs, fees and other expenses
incurred by the Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit), and not later than one (1) Business Day after being
given notice thereof by the Administrative Agent by telecopier (or by telephone
promptly confirmed by telecopier), the Lenders shall make a Revolving Credit
Loan or, if less than the minimum amount for such Loan, the Swingline Lender
shall make a Swingline Loan, in either case, funded in Dollars and bearing
interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, in such amount, the
proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the
amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Lender (or as the
case may be, the Swingline Lender) acknowledges and agrees that its obligation
to fund a Revolving Credit Loan or, if less than the minimum amount for such
Loan, a Swingline Loan, in accordance with this Section 3.5 to reimburse the
Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 2.3(a) or Article VI at the time of funding. If the Borrower has elected
to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail
to reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of
such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any
outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts
become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until
payment in full.

     SECTION 3.6         OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The Borrower's obligations under
this Article III (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation)
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees that the Issuing
Lender and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's
Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other
things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon,
even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or
forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be
transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of
such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be
liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch
or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with
any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing
Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrower agrees that any
action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any
Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and
shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant
to the Borrower. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in
connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit
shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such
Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each
draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment
are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

     SECTION 3.7         EFFECT OF APPLICATION. To the extent that any provision
of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the
provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

                               TERM LOAN FACILITY

     SECTION 4.1         INITIAL TERM LOANS. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to
make an Initial Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date. The Initial Term
Loans shall be funded by each Lender in a principal amount equal to such
Lender's Term Loan Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial
Term Loans made on the Closing Date, which aggregate principal amount shall
equal the total Term Loan Commitment as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the total Term Loan Commitment as of the Closing Date is not drawn
on the Closing Date, the undrawn amount shall automatically be cancelled.

     SECTION 4.2         PROCEDURE FOR ADVANCES OF TERM LOANS. The Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing prior to
11:00 a.m. (Charlotte time) on the Closing Date requesting that each Lender with
a Term Loan Commitment make the Initial Term Loans as Base Rate Loans on such
date (PROVIDED that the Borrower may request, no later than three (3) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date, that the Lenders make the Initial Term Loans as
LIBOR Rate Loans if the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a
letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 5.11 of this
Agreement). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such
Notice of Borrowing by telecopier (or by telephone promptly confirmed by
telecopier). Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the Closing Date, each
such Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds, the amount of such Initial Term Loan to be made by such Lender on such
borrowing date. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Initial Term Loans in immediately
available funds by wire transfer to such Person or Persons as may be designated
by the Borrower.

     SECTION 4.3         REPAYMENT OF TERM LOANS.

     (a)    INITIAL TERM LOANS. The Borrower shall repay the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans in consecutive quarterly

September commencing December 31, 2003 as set forth below, except as the amounts
of individual installments may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof:

If not sooner paid, the Term Loans shall be paid in full, together with accrued
interest thereon, on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(which amounts shall be calculated on the Additional Term Loan Effective Date):
(i) as of any fiscal quarter end prior to the fiscal quarter ending December 31,
2009, an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the original
principal amount of the Additional Term Loans, and (ii) as of any fiscal quarter
ending on or after December 31, 2009, an amount equal to twenty-five percent
(25%) of the sum of (X) the original amount of the Additional Term Loans LESS
(Y) the aggregate amount of all scheduled amortization payments to be made with
respect to the Additional Term Loans (determined as of the Additional Term Loan

Section 4.3(b); PROVIDED that such amounts of individual installments may be
adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof.

     (c)    NO REBORROWING. Amounts repaid pursuant to this Section 4.3 may not
be reborrowed and will constitute a permanent reduction of the Term Loan
Commitment.

     SECTION 4.4         PREPAYMENTS OF TERM LOANS.

     (a)    OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT OF TERM LOANS. The Borrower shall have the right

a Notice of Prepayment at least three (3) Business Days prior to any repayment,
to prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty except

Section 5.11. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders
notice of any such proposed prepayment by telecopier (or by telephone promptly
confirmed by telecopier). Each optional prepayment of the Term Loans hereunder
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000 or any whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be applied to the outstanding
principal installments of the Term Loans (with respect to any such outstanding
Term Loans, PRO RATA on the basis of the original aggregate funded amount
thereof, among the Initial Term Loans, and, if applicable, the Additional Term
Loans) in inverse order of maturity thereof. Each repayment shall be accompanied
by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof.

     (b)    MANDATORY PREPAYMENT OF TERM LOANS.

            (i)     DEBT PROCEEDS. The Borrower shall make mandatory principal
     prepayments of the Loans in the manner set forth in Section 4.4(b)(vi)
     below in amounts equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net
     Cash Proceeds from any incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries of Debt, excluding:

                    (A)  The Senior Subordinated Notes, solely to the extent
            the proceeds thereof are used on the Closing Date to consummate the
            IDT Merger and costs associated therewith;

                    (B)  Permitted Subordinated Debt, other than the Senior
            Subordinated Notes, solely to the extent the proceeds thereof are
            used within ninety (90) days (such ninety (90) day period, the "HOLD
            PERIOD") after receipt thereof to consummate a proposed acquisition
            and costs associated therewith so long as such proposed acquisition
            (a "DESIGNATED ACQUISITION") (I) constitutes a Permitted Acquisition
            at the time of the closing thereof and (II) is identified in writing
            to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the issuance date of such
            Permitted Subordinated Debt; PROVIDED, that any excess proceeds not
            so used to consummate a Permitted Acquisition or to fund a Permitted
            Escrow Redemption shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment as set
            forth in this Section 4.4(b)(i); and

                    (C)  other Debt permitted pursuant to Section 11.1 (other
            than Debt permitted by Section 11.1(j)).

     Such prepayment shall be made within three (3) Business Days after the date
     of receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of any such transaction. (This provision
     shall not be deemed to permit the incurrence of Debt not otherwise
     permitted pursuant to this Agreement.)

            (ii)    EQUITY PROCEEDS. If at any time the Total Leverage Ratio
     exceeds 3.00 to 1.00, the Borrower shall make mandatory principal
     prepayments of the Loans in the manner set forth in Section 4.4(b)(vi)
     below in amounts equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Net Cash
     Proceeds from any offering of equity securities by the Borrower or any of
     its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding (A) offerings of equity securities
     made in connection with employee stock option or incentive plans or made in
     connection with compensation or incentive plans for directors and officers,
     in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business and (B) the
     exercise of warrants existing on the Closing Date and set forth on SCHEDULE
     7.1(b)). Such prepayment shall be made within three (3) Business Days after
     the date of receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of any such transaction. (This
     provision shall not be deemed to permit the issuance of equity not
     otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement.)

            (iii)   ASSET SALE PROCEEDS. No later than one hundred eighty (180)
     days following the Borrower's or applicable Restricted Subsidiary's receipt
     thereof, the Borrower shall make mandatory principal prepayments of the
     Loans in the manner set forth in Section 4.4(b)(vi) below in amounts equal
     to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from the
     sale or other disposition or series of related sales or other dispositions
     of assets, excluding asset sales and dispositions permitted by Section
     11.5(a) through and including Section 11.5(d) (the "ASSET SALE PROCEEDS")
     by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which have not been
     reinvested as of such date in similar replacement assets unless such Asset
     Sale Proceeds have been committed to be reinvested within such one hundred
     eighty (180) day period and are thereafter actually reinvested within two
     hundred seventy (270) days after receipt of such Asset Sale Proceeds. If
     such Asset Sale Proceeds are not actually reinvested in accordance with the
     terms

                                       26
<Page>

     of this Section 4.4(b)(iii) by the date which is two hundred seventy (270)
     days after the receipt thereof, the Borrower shall make a mandatory
     prepayment in an amount equal to such Asset Sale Proceeds as described
     above on such date. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary,
     upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon notice from
     the Administrative Agent, all Asset Sale Proceeds received by the Borrower
     and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be applied to make prepayments of the
     Loans pursuant to Section 4.4(b)(vi), such prepayments to be made within
     three (3) Business Days after the Borrower's receipt of such Asset Sale
     Proceeds. (This provision shall not be deemed to permit the disposition of
     assets not otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement.)

            (iv)    INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS. No later than one
     hundred eighty (180) days following the date of receipt by the Borrower or
     any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Cash Proceeds under any of
     the insurance policies maintained pursuant to Section 9.3 or from any
     condemnation proceeding (the "INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS") which
     have not been reinvested as of such date in similar replacement assets, the
     Borrower shall make mandatory principal prepayments of the Loans in the
     manner set forth in Section 4.4(b)(vi) below in amounts equal to one
     hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate amount of such Insurance and
     Condemnation Proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
     Subsidiaries unless such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds have been
     committed to be reinvested within such one hundred eighty (180) day period
     and are thereafter actually reinvested within two hundred seventy (270)
     days after receipt of such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. If such
     Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are not actually reinvested in
     accordance with the terms of this Section 4.4(b)(iv) by the date which is
     two hundred seventy (270) days after the receipt thereof, the Borrower
     shall make a mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to such Insurance and
     Condemnation Proceeds as described above on such date. Notwithstanding any
     of the foregoing to the contrary, upon and during the continuance of an
     Event of Default and upon notice from the Administrative Agent, all
     Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds received by the Borrower and its
     Restricted Subsidiaries shall be applied to make prepayments of the Loans,
     such prepayments to be made within three (3) Business Days after the
     Borrower's receipt of such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.

            (v)     EXCESS CASH FLOW. No later than one hundred twenty (120)
     days after the end of any Fiscal Year during the term of this Agreement,
     commencing with the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2005, for which the Total
     Leverage Ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00, the Borrower shall make a mandatory
     principal repayment of the Loans in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%)
     of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for such Fiscal Year.

            (vi)    NOTICE; MANNER OF PAYMENT. Upon the occurrence of any event
     triggering the prepayment requirement under Sections 4.4(b)(i) through and
     including 4.4(b)(v), the Borrower shall promptly deliver a Notice of
     Prepayment to the Administrative Agent and upon receipt of such notice, the
     Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify each of the Lenders by
     telecopier (or by telephone promptly confirmed by telecopier). Each
     prepayment under this Section 4.4 shall be applied as follows: (A) FIRST to
     reduce, in inverse order of maturity, the remaining scheduled principal
     installments of the Term Loans (with respect to any such outstanding Term
     Loans, PRO RATA on the basis of the original aggregate funded amount
     thereof among the Initial Term Loans and, if applicable, the Additional
     Term Loans) pursuant to Section 4.3, and (B) SECOND to the extent of any
     excess (the "EXCESS PROCEEDS"), to prepay the aggregate outstanding amounts
     under the Revolving Credit Facility and, to the extent of any prepayments
     made pursuant to Section 4.4(b)(iii), to permanently reduce the Revolving
     Credit Commitment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, regardless of whether there are
     amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, each Lender having
     a Term Loan Commitment shall have the right to refuse its PRO RATA share
     (based on its respective applicable Term Loan Percentage) of any such
     mandatory prepayment (excluding prepayments made pursuant to Section
     4.4(b)(iii)) at which time the remaining amount shall be applied FIRST, to
     reduce the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with the foregoing Section
     4.4(b)(vi)(B), and THEN, to the extent of any remaining funds, to the
     Borrower; PROVIDED that, if at the time of such prepayment there are no
     outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower may (X) elect to have the
     remaining amount of such mandatory prepayment (if any) applied as an
     optional prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.4(a) or
     (Y) retain such amount. No prepayment or repayment pursuant to this Section
     4.4 shall affect any of the Borrower's obligations under any Hedging
     Agreement.

                                       27
<Page>

Amounts prepaid under the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.4 may not be
reborrowed and will constitute a permanent reduction in such Term Loan
Commitment. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be
paid pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof.

     SECTION 4.5         TERM NOTES. Except as otherwise provided in Section
14.10 (a) - (e), each Lender's Term Loan and the obligation of the Borrower to
repay such Term Loan may, at the election of such Lender, be evidenced by a
separate Term Note executed by the Borrower payable to the order of such Lender.

     SECTION 4.6         OPTIONAL INCREASE IN TERM LOAN COMMITMENT.

     (a)    Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Borrower shall have
the option, exercisable on no more than two (2) occasions following the Closing
Date until the Term Loan Maturity Date to incur additional indebtedness under
this Agreement in the form of an increase of the Term Loan Commitment of up to
One Hundred Million ($100,000,000) Dollars. The Borrower, by providing an
Increase Notification, may request that additional Term Loans be made on the
Additional Term Loan Effective Date pursuant to such increase in the Term Loan
Commitment (each such additional Term Loan, an "ADDITIONAL TERM LOAN", and
collectively, the "ADDITIONAL TERM LOANS").

     (b)    Each Additional Term Loan shall be obtained from existing Lenders,
entities that qualify as Eligible Assignees, or from other banks, financial
institutions or investment funds, in each case in accordance with this Section
4.6. Participation in any Additional Term Loan shall be offered first to each of
the existing Lenders; PROVIDED that each such Lender shall have no obligation to
provide any portion of such Additional Term Loans. If the amount of the
Additional Term Loans requested by the Borrower shall exceed the commitments
which the existing Lenders are willing to provide with respect to such
Additional Term Loans, then the Borrower may invite other banks, financial
institutions and investment funds which meet the requirements of an Eligible
Assignee to join this Agreement as Lenders for the portion of such Additional
Term Loans not committed to by existing Lenders (each such other bank, financial
institution or investment fund, a "NEW LENDER" and collectively with the
existing Lenders providing increased Commitments, the "INCREASE LENDERS"). The
Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into, on behalf of the Lenders, any
amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as may be necessary to
incorporate the terms of any Additional Term Loan herein or therein; PROVIDED
that such amendment shall not modify this Agreement or any other Loan Document
in any manner materially adverse to any Lender and shall otherwise be in
accordance with Section 14.11 hereof.

     (c)    The following terms and conditions shall apply to each Additional
Term Loan: (i) the Additional Term Loans made under this Section 4.6 shall
constitute Obligations of the Borrower and shall be secured and guaranteed with
the other Extensions of Credit on a PARI PASSU basis; (ii) any New Lender making
Additional Term Loans shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the
existing Lenders under the Term Loan Facility and the Additional Term Loans
shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the Initial Term
Loans; (iii) the Borrower shall upon the request of any Lender making an
Additional Term Loan, execute such Term Loan Notes as are necessary to reflect
such Lender's Additional Term Loans; (iv) the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall have received from the Borrower updated financial projections and
an Officer's Compliance Certificate, in each case in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, demonstrating that, after giving
effect to any such Additional Term Loan, the Borrower will be in pro forma
compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Article X; (v) no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder as of the
Additional Term Loan Effective Date or after giving effect to the making of any
such Additional Term Loans; (vi) the representations and warranties made by the
Borrower and contained in Article VII shall be true and correct on and as of the
Additional Term Loan Effective Date with the same effect as if made on and as of
such date (other than those representations and warranties that by their terms
speak as of a particular date, which representations and warranties shall be
true and correct as of such particular date); (vii) the amount of such increase
in the Term Loan Commitment and any Additional Term Loans obtained thereunder
shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000, or any whole
multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; (viii) the Borrower and each such
Lender or lender not theretofore a Lender shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a
written agreement acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and each Subsidiary
Guarantor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent (an "ADDITIONAL TERM LOAN AGREEMENT"), and (ix) the Administrative Agent
shall have received any documents or information, including any joinder
agreements, in connection with such increase in the Term Loan Commitment as it
may request in its

                                       28
<Page>

reasonable discretion.

     (d)    Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of the
applicable Additional Term Loan Agreement, from and after the applicable
Additional Term Loan Effective Date, each Increase Lender shall have a Term Loan
Commitment as set forth in the Register and all the rights and obligations of a
Lender with such a Term Loan Commitment hereunder. The Increase Lenders shall
make the Additional Term Loans to the Borrower on the Additional Term Loan
Effective Date in an amount equal to each such Increase Lender's commitment in
respect of Additional Term Loans as agreed upon pursuant to subsection (b)
above.

     (e)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Additional
Term Loan Agreement delivered to it in accordance with Section 14.10(d).

     (f)    Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for any
surrendered Term Loan Note or Term Loan Notes of any existing Lender or with
respect to any Lender not theretofore a Lender, a new Term Loan Note or Term
Loan Notes to the order of the applicable Lenders in amounts equal to the Term
Loan Commitment of such Lenders as set forth in the Register. Such new Term Loan
Note or Term Loan Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of such Term Loan Commitments, shall be dated as of
the Additional Term Loan Effective Date and shall otherwise be in substantially
the form of the existing Term Loan Notes. Each surrendered Term Loan Note and/or
Term Loan Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

     (g)    The Applicable Margin and pricing grid, if applicable, for the
Additional Term Loans shall be determined on the applicable Additional Term Loan
Effective Date. If the Applicable Margin and pricing grid, if applicable, for
such Additional Term Loans at such time exceeds the Applicable Margin or
existing pricing grid, as applicable, for the Initial Term Loans as set forth in
Section 5.1(c), then the Applicable Margin and pricing grid, if applicable, for
all Term Loans shall be increased to be equal to the Applicable Margin and
pricing grid, if applicable, for such Additional Term Loans as determined on the
applicable Additional Term Loan Effective Date. Furthermore, if the
all-in-yield, after giving effect to any offering of the Additional Term Loans
at a discount from par or any fees paid to the Lenders in connection with such
Additional Term Loans (the "ALL-IN-YIELD") with respect to the Additional Term
Loans, exceeds the All-in-Yield with respect to the Initial Term Loans, then the
fees payable by the Borrower with respect to the Initial Term Loans shall be
increased to the extent necessary to cause the All-in-Yield with respect to the
Initial Term Loans to equal to the All-in-Yield with respect to the Additional
Term Loans (the amount of such increase to be determined by the Administrative
Agent as of the Additional Term Loan Effective Date). In addition, an
amortization schedule shall be prepared by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms of Section 4.3(b) to provide for the repayment of the
applicable Additional Term Loans.

                                    ARTICLE V

                             GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

     SECTION 5.1         INTEREST.

     (a)    INTEREST RATE OPTIONS. Subject to the provisions of this Section
5.1, at the election of the Borrower, (i) Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans
shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate PLUS the Applicable Margin as set forth
in Section 5.1(c) or (B) the LIBOR Rate PLUS the Applicable Margin as set forth
in Section 5.1(c) (PROVIDED that the LIBOR Rate shall not be available until
three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date unless the Borrower has delivered
to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section
5.11 of this Agreement) and (ii) any Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the
Base Rate PLUS the Applicable Margin as set forth in Section 5.1(c). The
Borrower shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any,
applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time
a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 5.2. Each Loan
or portion thereof bearing interest based on the Base Rate shall be a "BASE RATE
LOAN", and each Loan or portion thereof bearing interest based on the LIBOR Rate
shall be a "LIBOR RATE LOAN." Any Loan or any portion thereof as to which the
Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be
deemed a Base Rate Loan.

     (b)    INTEREST PERIODS. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the
Borrower, by giving notice at the

                                       29
<Page>

times described in Section 5.1(a), shall elect an interest period (each, an
"INTEREST PERIOD") to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be
a period of one (1), two (2), three (3), or six (6) months with respect to each
LIBOR Rate Loan; PROVIDED that:

            (i)     the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of
     or conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately
     successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence
     on the date on which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires;

            (ii)    if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day
     that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
     succeeding Business Day; PROVIDED, that if any Interest Period with respect
     to a LIBOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business
     Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in
     such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding
     Business Day;

            (iii)   any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan that
     begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which
     there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end
     of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the relevant
     calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

            (iv)    no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolving Credit
     Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, and Interest
     Periods shall be selected by the Borrower so as to permit the Borrower to
     make mandatory reductions of the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to
     Section 2.6(b) and the quarterly principal installment payments pursuant to
     Section 4.3 without payment of any amounts pursuant to Section 5.11; and

            (v)     there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods in
     effect at any time.

            (c)     APPLICABLE MARGIN. The Applicable Margin provided for in
Section 5.1(a) with respect to any Loans (the "APPLICABLE MARGIN") shall be
based upon the table set forth below and shall be determined and adjusted (i)
quarterly on the date (each a "CALCULATION DATE") ten (10) Business Days after
the date by which the Borrower is required to provide an Officer's Compliance
Certificate for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower and (ii)
as provided in Section 4.6(g). The Pricing Level shall be determined by
reference to the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently
ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable Calculation Date,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (A) the initial Applicable Margin for the Loans shall
not be less than Pricing Level II (as shown below) until May 4, 2004 and (B) if
the Borrower fails to provide the Officer's Compliance Certificate as required
by Article VIII for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower
preceding the applicable Calculation Date, the Applicable Margin for the Loans
from such Calculation Date shall be based on Pricing Level I (as shown below)
until such time as an appropriate Officer's Compliance Certificate is provided,
at which time the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Total
Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of
the Borrower preceding such Calculation Date. The Applicable Margin for the
Loans shall be effective from one Calculation Date until the next Calculation
Date. Any adjustment in the Applicable Margin shall be applicable to all
Extensions of Credit then existing or subsequently made or issued.

     (d)    DEFAULT RATE. Subject to Section 12.3, at the discretion of the
Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, (i) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to

                                       30
<Page>

request LIBOR Rate Loans or Swingline Loans, (ii) all outstanding LIBOR Rate
Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) plus the rate
then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest
Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (iii) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and
other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or
under any other Loan Document. Interest shall continue to accrue on the
Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking
any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or
debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

     (e)    INTEREST PAYMENT AND COMPUTATION. Interest on each Base Rate Loan
shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter
commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2003; and interest on each LIBOR
Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable
thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end
of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on LIBOR
Rate Loans and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed and interest on
Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 365/66-day year and assessed
for the actual number of days elapsed.

     (f)    MAXIMUM RATE. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the
aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder or under any of the
Obligations charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
pursuant to any of the Obligations exceed the highest rate permissible under any
Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final
determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines
that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the
highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be
reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at
the Administrative Agent's option (i) promptly refund to the Borrower any
interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii)
apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a PRO RATA
basis. It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and
that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to
receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of
that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

     SECTION 5.2         NOTICE AND MANNER OF CONVERSION OR CONTINUATION OF
LOANS. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then
continuing, the Borrower shall have the option to (a) convert at any time
following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of
any outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal
amount equal to $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof
into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) upon the expiration of any Interest
Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a
principal amount equal to $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof into Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (ii) continue such
LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans. Whenever the Borrower desires to convert
or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form attached hereto
as EXHIBIT E (a "NOTICE OF CONVERSION/CONTINUATION") not later than 11:00 a.m.
(Charlotte time) three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed
conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the
Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to
be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the
effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business
Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and
(D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR
Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such
Notice of Conversion/Continuation by telecopier (or by telephone promptly
confirmed by telecopier).

     SECTION 5.3         FEES.

     (a)    COMMITMENT FEE. Commencing on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a
non-refundable commitment fee at a rate per annum determined by reference to the
pricing grid set forth in Section 5.1(c) on the average daily unused portion of
the Revolving Credit Commitment; PROVIDED, that the amount of outstanding
Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment
for the purpose of calculating such commitment fee. The commitment fee shall be
payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during the
term of this Agreement with the first payment due on December 31, 2003, and on
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Such commitment

                                       31
<Page>

fee shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders PRO
RATA in accordance with the Lenders' respective Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentages. The commitment fee shall be determined by reference to the Total
Leverage Ratio as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the
delivery of the applicable Officer's Compliance Certificate and adjusted
quarterly on the Calculation Date for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of
the Borrower, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (A) the initial Commitment Fee shall not
be less than that set forth in Pricing Level II as shown in the pricing grid set
forth in Section 5.1(c) until May 4, 2004 and (B) in the event the Borrower
fails to deliver the Officer's Compliance Certificate as required by Article
VIII for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the
applicable Calculation Date, the commitment fee shall be the highest commitment
fee set forth in the above-described pricing grid until the delivery of an
appropriate Officer's Compliance Certificate at which time the Commitment Fee
shall be determined by reference to the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day
of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding such
Calculation Date.

     (b)    ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S AND OTHER FEES. In order to compensate the
Administrative Agent for structuring and syndicating the Loans and for its
obligations hereunder, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for its account, the fees set forth in the separate fee letter agreement
executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent dated September 12, 2003.

     SECTION 5.4    MANNER OF PAYMENT.

     (a)    LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT DENOMINATED IN DOLLARS. Each payment by
the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on any Loan or Letter of
Credit denominated in Dollars or of any fee, commission or other amounts
(including the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit
denominated in Dollars) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement or any Note
shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on the date specified
for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent's Office for the account of the Lenders (other than as set
forth below) PRO RATA in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentages or applicable Term Loan Percentages, as applicable
(except as specified below), in Dollars and in immediately available funds and
shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any
payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) on such
day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 12.1, but
for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte time) shall be
deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes.

     (b)    ALTERNATIVE CURRENCY LETTERS OF CREDIT. Each payment by the Borrower
on account of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (including the
Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit) shall be made in Dollars not later than 1:00 p.m. (the time of the
Issuing Lender's Correspondent) on the date specified for payment under this
Agreement to the Administrative Agent's account with the Issuing Lender's
Correspondent for the account of the Issuing Lender in immediately available
funds, and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction
whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. (the time
of the Issuing Lender's Correspondent) on such day shall be deemed a payment on
such date for the purposes of Section 12.1, but for all other purposes shall be
deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment
received after 2:00 p.m. (the time of the Issuing Lender's Correspondent) shall
be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all
purposes.

     (c)    TREATMENT OF PAYMENTS. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of
each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each
Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its PRO RATA share of such
payment in accordance with such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage
or applicable Term Loan Percentage, as applicable (except as specified below),
and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Except as set
forth in Section 5.4(b), each payment to the Administrative Agent of the Issuing
Lender's fees or L/C Participants' commissions shall be made in like manner, but
for the account of the Issuing Lender or the L/C Participants, as the case may
be. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent's fees or
expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any
amount payable to any Lender under Sections 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, 5.13 or 14.2 shall
be promptly paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Lender. Subject to Section 5.1(b)(ii) if any payment under this Agreement or any
Note shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it
shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if
payable along with such payment.

                                       32
<Page>

     SECTION 5.5         CREDITING OF PAYMENTS AND PROCEEDS . In the event that
the Borrower shall fail to pay any of the Obligations when due and the
Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 12.2, all payments
received by the Lenders upon the Notes and the other Obligations and all net
proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied: (a) first, to
all expenses then due and payable by the Borrower hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, (b) then to all indemnity obligations then due and payable by
the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) then to all
Administrative Agent's and Issuing Lender's fees then due and payable, (d) then
to all commitment and other fees and commissions then due and payable, (e) then
to accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, accrued and unpaid interest on the
Reimbursement Obligation and any payments (including any termination payments
and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) due in respect of a Hedging
Agreement with any Lender or the Administrative Agent (which such Hedging
Agreement is permitted or required hereunder) (PRO RATA in accordance with all
such amounts due), (f) then to the principal amount of the Loans and
Reimbursement Obligation (PRO RATA in accordance with all such amounts due) and
(g) then to the cash collateral account described in Section 12.2(b) hereof to
the extent of any L/C Obligations then outstanding, in that order.

     SECTION 5.6         ADJUSTMENTS. If any Lender (a "BENEFITED LENDER") shall
at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it,
or interest thereon, or if any Lender shall at any time receive any collateral
in respect to the Obligations owing to it (whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
by set-off or otherwise) (other than as a result of the operation of the proviso
to Section 4.4(b)(vi) hereof or pursuant to Sections 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, 5.13 or
14.2 hereof) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral
received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the similar Obligations
owing to such other Lender, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other
Lender's Extensions of Credit, or shall provide such other Lenders with the
benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary
to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; PROVIDED, that if all
or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price
and benefits returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The
Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's
Extensions of Credit may exercise all rights of payment (including, without
limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such
Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

     SECTION 5.7         NATURE OF OBLIGATIONS OF LENDERS REGARDING EXTENSIONS
OF CREDIT; ASSUMPTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The obligations of the
Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in
Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to a
proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of the amount to be borrowed
on such date (which notice shall not release such Lender of its obligations
hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
portion available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed borrowing date in
accordance with Sections 2.3(b) and 4.2, and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative
Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to the product of
(a) the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms
hereof, TIMES (b) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during such period as
determined by the Administrative Agent, TIMES (c) a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of days that elapse from and including such borrowing date
to the date on which such amount not made available by such Lender in accordance
with the terms hereof shall have become immediately available to the
Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the
Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 5.7
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender's Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage or applicable Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, of such
borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender
within three (3) Business Days after such borrowing date, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the
Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to
such borrowing hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower. The failure of any
Lender to make available its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or Term Loan
Percentage, as applicable, of any Loan requested by the Borrower shall not
relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable,
of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to make its Revolving Credit

                                       33
<Page>

Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, of such Loan
available on the borrowing date. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to
the contrary, any Lender that fails to make available its Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage or applicable Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, shall
not (a) have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan
Document or (b) constitute a "LENDER" for purposes of the calculation of
Required Lenders hereunder for any voting or consent rights under or with
respect to any Loan Document; so long as such Lender fails to make available
such Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or applicable Term Loan Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of the amendments, changes
or modifications specifically enumerated in Sections 14.11(a)-(c) be effective
with respect to any Lender directly affected thereby that has not consented
thereto.

     SECTION 5.8         REDENOMINATION UNDER EMU.

     (a)    REDENOMINATION OF LETTERS OF CREDIT. Subject to Section 1.4 hereof,
any Letter of Credit to be denominated in the currency of the applicable
Participating Member State shall be made in the euro.

     (b)    REDENOMINATION OF OBLIGATIONS. Subject to Section 1.4 hereof, any
obligation of any party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document which
has been denominated in the currency of a Participating Member State shall be
redenominated into the euro.

     (c)    FURTHER ASSURANCES. The terms and provisions of this Agreement will
be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as determined by the
Administrative Agent to reflect the implementation of the EMU in any
Participating Member State or any market conventions relating to the fixing
and/or calculation of interest being changed or replaced and to reflect market
practice at that time, and subject thereto, to put the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Borrower in the same position, so far as possible, that they
would have been if such implementation had not occurred. In connection
therewith, the Borrower agrees, at the request of the Administrative Agent, at
the time of or at any time following the implementation of the EMU in any
Participating Member State or any market conventions relating to the fixing
and/or calculation of interest being changed or replaced, to enter into an
agreement amending this Agreement in such manner as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably request.

     SECTION 5.9         REGULATORY LIMITATION . In the event, as a result of
increases in the value of any Alternative Currency against the Dollar or for any
other reason, the obligation of the Issuing Lender to issue Alternative Currency
Letters of Credit (taking into account the Dollar Amount of the Obligations and
all other indebtedness required to be aggregated under 12 U.S.C.A. Section 84,
as amended, the regulations promulgated thereunder and any other Applicable Law)
is determined by the Issuing Lender to exceed its then applicable legal lending
limit under 12 U.S.C.A. Section 84, as amended, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, or any other Applicable Law, the amount of additional Alternative
Currency Letters of Credit the Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue
hereunder shall immediately be reduced to the maximum amount which the Issuing
Lender may legally issue (as determined by the Issuing Lender) and, to the
extent necessary under such laws and regulations (as determined by the Issuing
Lender, with respect to the applicability of such laws and regulations to
itself), the Borrower shall reduce, or cause to be reduced, complying to the
extent practicable with the remaining provisions hereof, the Obligations
outstanding hereunder by an amount sufficient to comply with such maximum
amounts.

     SECTION 5.10        CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES.

     (a)    CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING LIBOR RATE AVAILABILITY. If with respect to
any Interest Period the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation
with the Administrative Agent) shall determine that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in
eurodollars, in the applicable amounts are not being quoted via the Dow Jones
Market Screen 3750 or offered to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for
such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telecopier (or by telephone promptly
confirmed by telecopier). Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies
the Borrower and the Lenders by telecopier (or by telephone promptly confirmed
by telecopier) that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the
Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any
Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the
Borrower shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then
outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued
interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period

                                       34
<Page>

applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or convert the then outstanding principal
amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of
such Interest Period.

     (b)    LAWS AFFECTING LIBOR RATE AVAILABILITY. If, after the date hereof,
the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending
Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall
make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their
respective Lending Offices) to honor their obligations hereunder to make or
maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to
the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice
to the Borrower and the other Lenders by telecopier (or by telephone promptly
confirmed by telecopier). Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies
the Borrower and the other Lenders by telecopier (or by telephone promptly
confirmed by telecopier) that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the
obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the
Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall
be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans
hereunder, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain
a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto as a LIBOR Rate Loan, the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan shall immediately
be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period and
the Borrower shall pay any amount required to be paid under Section 5.11 hereof.

     (c)    INCREASED COSTS. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or
any change in, any Applicable Law, or in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the
Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of such Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency:

            (i)     shall (except as provided in Section 5.13(e)) subject any of
     the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to any tax, duty
     or other charge with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit or Application
     or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any of the Lenders (or
     any of their respective Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on
     any Loan, L/C Obligation or any other amounts due under this Agreement in
     respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of franchise tax or tax on
     the overall net income of any of the Lenders or any of their respective
     Lending Offices imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender is
     organized or is or should be qualified to do business or such Lending
     Office is located); PROVIDED that the Borrower shall not be obligated to
     pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 5.10(c)(i) to the extent that such
     amounts are duplicative of any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to
     Section 5.13; or

            (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including,
     without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the
     Federal Reserve System), special deposit, insurance or capital or similar
     requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
     credit extended by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending
     Offices) or shall impose on any of the Lenders (or any of their respective
     Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other
     condition affecting any Loan;

     and the result of any of the foregoing events described in clause (i) or
     (ii) above is to increase the costs to any of the Lenders of maintaining
     any LIBOR Rate Loan or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to
     reduce the yield or amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the
     Lenders under this Agreement or under the Loans in respect of a LIBOR Rate
     Loan or Letter of Credit or Application, then such Lender shall promptly
     notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall
     promptly notify the Borrower of such fact and demand compensation therefor
     and, within fifteen (15) days after such notice by the Administrative
     Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or
     amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost
     or reduction. The Administrative Agent, or the applicable Lender (with a
     copy to the Administrative Agent) will promptly notify the Borrower of any
     event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Lender to
     compensation pursuant to this Section 5.10(c); PROVIDED, that the
     Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever

                                       35
<Page>

     to the Lenders or the Borrower in the event it fails to do so. The amount
     of such compensation shall be determined, in the applicable Lender's sole
     discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Revolving
     Credit Commitment Percentage or applicable Term Loan Percentage, as
     applicable, of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and
     using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender
     deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth
     the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate
     such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative
     Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest
     error.

     (d)    EXCHANGE INDEMNIFICATION AND INCREASED COSTS. The Borrower shall,
upon demand from the Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, pay to the Issuing
Lender or L/C Participant, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost
incurred by the Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, (ii) any reduction in any
amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to the Issuing
Lender or L/C Participant, (iii) any interest or any other return foregone by
the Issuing Lender as a result of the introduction of, change over to or
operation of the euro and (iv) any currency exchange loss, in each case that the
Issuing Lender or L/C Participant sustains as a result of the Borrower's or any
L/C Participant's repayment in Dollars of any Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit. A certificate of the Issuing Lender or L/C Participant setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts
necessary to compensate the Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant shall be
conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

     SECTION 5.11        INDEMNITY. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the
Lenders against any loss or expense which may arise or be attributable to each
Lender's obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to
effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by the
Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection
with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow,
continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Continuation/Conversion or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or
conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor. The amount of such loss or expense shall be
determined, in the applicable Lender's sole discretion, based upon the
assumption that such Lender funded its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or
applicable Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the
London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging
methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such
Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for
manifest error.

     SECTION 5.12        CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. If either (a) the introduction
of, or any change in, or any change in the interpretation of, any Applicable Law
or (b) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or
comparable agency or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
the capital of, or has affected or would affect the amount of capital required
to be maintained by, any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a
consequence of, or with reference to the Commitments and other commitments of
this type, below the rate which such Lender or such other corporation could have
achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance, then within five (5)
Business Days after written demand by any such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to
such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender or other corporation for such reduction. A
certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent by such Lender, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be presumed to be
correct and binding for all purposes.

     SECTION 5.13   TAXES.

     (a)    PAYMENTS FREE AND CLEAR. Except as otherwise provided in Section
5.13(e), any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Loans or in
respect of the Letters of Credit shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto excluding, (i)
in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, income and franchise
taxes imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or is or should be
qualified to do business or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) in the
case of each Lender, income and franchise taxes imposed by the jurisdiction of
such Lender's Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings

                                       36
<Page>

and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "TAXES"). If the Borrower shall
be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder or under any Loan or in respect of any Letter of Credit to any
Lender or the Administrative Agent, (A) except as otherwise provided in Section
5.13(e), the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.13) such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal
to the amount such party would have received had no such deductions or
withholdings been made, (B) the Borrower shall make such deductions or
withholdings, (C) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law,
and (D) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and such Lender
evidence of such payment to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental
Authority in the manner provided in Section 5.13(d).

     (b)    STAMP AND OTHER TAXES. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any
present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes or any
other similar fees or charges or excise or property taxes, levies of the United
States or any state or political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign
jurisdiction which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the
Loans, the Letters of Credit or the other Loan Documents, or the perfection of
any rights or security interest in respect thereof (hereinafter referred to as
"OTHER TAXES").

     (c)    INDEMNITY. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.13(e), the
Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full
amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and
Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section
5.13) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and
any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days
from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes
written demand therefor.

     (d)    EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any
payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender, at its address referred to in
Section 14.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

         (e) DELIVERY OF TAX FORMS. To the extent required by Applicable Law to
reduce or eliminate withholding or payment of taxes, each Lender organized under
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof
(a "FOREIGN LENDER") and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower,
with a copy to the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date or concurrently
with the delivery of the relevant Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, (i)
two United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, Forms W-8ECI or Forms
W-8BEN, as applicable (or successor forms) properly completed and certifying in
each case that such Foreign Lender is entitled to a complete exemption from
withholding or deduction for or on account of any United States federal income
taxes, and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United
States backup withholding taxes. Each such Foreign Lender further agrees to
deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable,
two Form W-9, Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms or manner of
certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form
expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower,
certifying in the case of a Form W-9, Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor forms)
that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes
(unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or
the exemption to which such forms relate unavailable and such Foreign Lender
notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not entitled to
receive payments without deduction or withholding of United States federal
income taxes) and, in the case of a Form W-9, Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI,
establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.
Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower
shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent under this Section 5.13 or Section 5.10(c), (i) if such
Foreign Lender or the Administrative Agent fails to comply with the requirements
of this Section 5.13(e), other than to the extent (i) that such failure is due
to a change in law occurring after the date on which such Foreign Lender or

                                       37
<Page>

the Administrative Agent became a party to this Agreement or (ii) that such
additional amounts are the result of such Foreign Lender's or the Administrative
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as applicable.

     (f)    SURVIVAL. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower
contained in this Section 5.13 shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of the Commitments until the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations.

     SECTION 5.14        ROUNDING AND OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL CHANGES. Subject to
Section 1.4 hereof, without prejudice and in addition to any method of
conversion or rounding prescribed by any EMU Legislation and without prejudice
to the respective obligations of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the Borrower under
or pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
each provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to
combine currencies to effect a set-off, shall be subject to such reasonable
changes of interpretation as the Administrative Agent may from time to time
specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or change
over to the euro in Participating Member States.

     SECTION 5.15        SECURITY. The Obligations of the Borrower and the
Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations shall be secured as provided in the Security
Documents.

     SECTION 5.16        MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS.

     (a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.10(c), or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.13,
then such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
5.10(c) or 5.13, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject
such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

     (b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.10(c), or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.13,
or if any Lender defaults in its obligations to fund Loans hereunder, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, requiresuch Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 14.10), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement
(other than any indemnification rights pursuant to Sections 5.10, 5.12, 5.13 or
14.2 for the period prior to such assignment) to an Eligible Assignee that shall
assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment); PROVIDED that (i) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a
Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender),
which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
and participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts (including, without
limitation, any amounts then payable to such Lender under Section 5.10(c) or
Section 5.13 hereof)) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting
from a claim for compensation under Section 5.10(c) or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 5.13, such assignment will result in a material
reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to
make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a
waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

     prohibit, or to obtain substantial damages in respect of, or which is
     related to or arises out of (a) the Transaction Documents or the

     SECTION 7.1    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES . To induce the
Administrative Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the
Lenders to make Extensions of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders both before and after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated hereunder that:

     (a)    ORGANIZATION; POWER; QUALIFICATION. Each of the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or

                                       43

     (b)    OWNERSHIP. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower as of the Closing Date is

and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, with no personal
liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and not subject to any preemptive

the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has the right, power and authority
and has taken all necessary corporate and other action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms, in
the case of the Borrower, the Extensions of Credit hereunder, and the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers
of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries party thereto, and each
such document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiary party thereto, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief
laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors'
rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies.

     (d)    COMPLIANCE OF AGREEMENT, LOAN DOCUMENTS AND BORROWING WITH LAWS,
ETC. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents to which each such Person is a party, in
accordance with their respective terms, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and
the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not, by the passage of
time, the giving of notice or otherwise, (i) require any Governmental Approval
or violate any Applicable Law relating to the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default
under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of
the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any indenture, agreement
or other instrument to which such Person is a party or by which any of its
properties may be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to such Person,

respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Person other

connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability
of this Agreement.

     (e)    COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. Except where the
failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to create a Material Adverse
Effect, each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has all
Governmental Approvals required by any Applicable Law for it to conduct its
business, each of which is in full force and effect, is final and not subject to
review on appeal and is not the subject of any pending or, to the best of its
knowledge, threatened attack by direct or collateral proceeding, (ii) is in
compliance with each Governmental Approval applicable to it and in compliance
with all other Applicable Laws relating to it or any of its respective
properties and (iii) has timely filed all material reports, documents and other
materials required to be filed by it under all Applicable Laws with any
Governmental Authority and has retained all material records and documents
required to be retained by it under Applicable Law.

     (f)    TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries has duly filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, local and
other tax returns required by Applicable Law to be filed, and has paid,

                                       44
<Page>

or made adequate provision for the payment of, all federal, state, local and
other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it and its
property, income, profits and assets which are due and payable, except (a) any
taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside
on its books adequate reserves in conformity with GAAP or (b) to the extent that
the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Such returns accurately reflect in all material respects all
liability for taxes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered
thereby. There is no ongoing audit or examination or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, other investigation by any Governmental Authority of the tax liability
of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. No Governmental Authority has
asserted any Lien or other claim against the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary thereof with respect to unpaid taxes which has not been discharged or
resolved other than Liens for taxes not yet due and payable. The charges,
accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries
in respect of federal, state, local and other taxes for all Fiscal Years and
portions thereof for all open years of the Borrower and any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries are in the judgment of the Borrower adequate, and the Borrower does
not anticipate any additional material taxes or assessments for any of such
years. The Borrower does not intend to treat the Loans and/or Letters of Credit
as being a "reportable transaction" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4). In the event that the Borrower determines to take any action
inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify the Administrative
Agent thereof. If the Borrower so notifies the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower acknowledges that one or more of the Lenders may treat its Loans and/or
Letters of Credit as part of a transaction that is subject to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.6011-4 or Section 301.6112-1, and the Administrative Agent
and such Lender or Lenders, as applicable, may file such forms or maintain such
lists and other records as they may determine is required by such Treasury
Regulations.

     (g)    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS. Except where the failure to do so
could not reasonably be expected to create a Material Adverse Effect, each of
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries owns or possesses rights to use all
franchises, licenses, copyright registrations, copyright applications, issued
patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trademark
registrations, trademark rights, service marks, service mark applications,
service mark rights, trade names, trade name rights, copyrights and rights with
respect to the foregoing which are required to conduct its business. To the
knowledge of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, no event has occurred
which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the
revocation or termination of any such rights (except for the expiration of
patents in the ordinary course), and neither the Borrower nor any Restricted
Subsidiary thereof is liable to any Person for infringement under Applicable Law
with respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations except to
the extent any such revocation, termination, or infringement could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (h)    ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Except for any such matter that could not
reasonably be expected to create a Material Adverse Effect,

            (i)     The properties presently owned, leased or operated by the

     knowledge have not previously contained, any Hazardous Materials in amounts

     applicable Environmental Laws or (B) could reasonably be expected to give
     rise to liability under applicable Environmental Laws;

            (ii) The Borrower, each Restricted Subsidiary and such properties

     which could interfere with the continued operation of such properties;

            (iii)   Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary thereof
     has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance,
     liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters, Hazardous
     Materials, or compliance with Environmental Laws, nor does the Borrower or
     any Restricted Subsidiary thereof have knowledge or reason to believe that
     any such notice will be received or is being threatened;

            (iv)    Hazardous Materials have not been transported or disposed of
     to or from the properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower and its
     Restricted Subsidiaries in violation of, or in a manner or

                                       45
<Page>

to a location which could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability
under, Environmental Laws, nor have any Hazardous Materials been generated,
treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of such properties in
violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any
applicable Environmental Laws; and

     (v)    No judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative action is
pending under any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary thereof has been named as a potentially responsible party with
respect to such properties or operations conducted in connection therewith, nor
are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative
orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements
outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary.

comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each
Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified,
and each trust related to such plan has been determined to be exempt under
Section 501(a) of the Code except for such plans that have not yet received
determination letters but for which the remedial amendment period for submitting
a determination letter has not yet expired. No liability has been incurred by
the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or
penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer Plan

Adverse Effect;

     (iii)  Except for any such matter that could not reasonably be expected to

under Section 412 of the Code), nor has any funding waiver from the Internal
Revenue Service been received or requested with respect to any Pension Plan, nor
has the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate failed to make any contributions or to

     (j)    MARGIN STOCK. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary

of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit will be used for
purchasing or carrying margin stock in violation of, or for any other purpose
which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of
Regulation T, U or X of such Board of Governors.

     (k)    GOVERNMENT REGULATION. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted
Subsidiary thereof is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company" (as each such term is defined or used in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended) and neither the Borrower nor any Restricted
Subsidiary thereof is, or after giving effect to any Extension of Credit will
be, subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
or the Interstate Commerce Act, each as amended, or any other Applicable Law
which limits its ability to incur or consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.

     (l)    MATERIAL CONTRACTS. Each Material Contract of the Borrower and each
Restricted Subsidiary in effect as of the Closing Date is, and after giving
effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan

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

Borrower, any other party thereto) is in breach of or in default under any
Material Contract which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (m)    EMPLOYEE RELATIONS. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted

pending, threatened or contemplated strikes, work stoppage or other collective
labor disputes involving its employees or those of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

     (n)    BURDENSOME PROVISIONS. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted
Subsidiary thereof is a party to any indenture, agreement, lease or other
instrument, or subject to any corporate or partnership restriction, Governmental
Approval or Applicable Law which is so unusual or burdensome as in the
foreseeable future could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries do not presently anticipate
that future expenditures needed to meet the provisions of any statutes, orders,
rules or regulations of a Governmental Authority will be so burdensome as could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Restricted
Subsidiary is party to any agreement or instrument or otherwise subject to any
restriction or encumbrance that restricts or limits its ability to make dividend
payments or other distributions in respect of its capital stock to the Borrower
or any Restricted Subsidiary or to transfer any of its assets or properties to
the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary in each case other than those
existing under or by reason of the Loan Documents or Applicable Law.

     (o)    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The financial statements required pursuant to
Section 6.2(e) and related unaudited interim statements of income and retained
earnings, copies of which have been furnished to the Administrative Agent and
each Lender, are complete and correct and fairly present on a Consolidated basis
the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries as at such dates, and the results of the operations and
changes of financial position for the periods then ended (other than customary
year-end adjustments for unaudited financial statements). All such financial
statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP.

     (p)    NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. Since March 31, 2003, there has been no
material adverse change in the properties, business, operations, prospects, or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Since December 31, 2002 there has been no
material adverse change in the properties, business, operations, or condition
(financial or otherwise) of IDT and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole and no
event has occurred or condition arisen that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiaries has such title to the real property owned or leased by it as is
necessary or desirable to the conduct of its business and valid and legal title
to all of its personal property and assets, including, but not limited to, those
reflected on the balance sheets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
referred to in Section 7.1(o), except those which have been disposed of by the
Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries subsequent to such date which

expressly permitted hereunder. As of the Closing Date, all real property owned
or leased by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is set forth on SCHEDULE
7.1(r).

     (s)    LIENS. None of the properties and assets of the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary thereof is subject to any Lien, except Permitted Liens. No
financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any state which names
the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective
trade names or divisions as debtor and which has not been terminated, has been
filed in any state or other jurisdiction and neither the Borrower nor any
Restricted Subsidiary thereof has signed any such financing statement or any
security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file any such
financing statement, except to perfect those Liens permitted by Section 11.2
hereof.

     (t)    DEBT AND GUARANTY OBLIGATIONS. SCHEDULE 7.1(t) is a complete and
correct listing of all Debt, Guaranty Obligations and Bonding Obligations of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the date set forth on such
SCHEDULE 7.1(t) in excess of $1,000,000. The Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries have performed and are in compliance with all of the terms of such
Debt and Guaranty Obligations and all instruments and agreements relating
thereto, and no default or event of default, or event or condition which with

default on the part of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries exists
with respect to any such Debt or Guaranty Obligation.

any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental
Authority.

     (v)    ABSENCE OF DEFAULTS. No event has occurred or is continuing which
constitutes a Default or an Event of Default, or which constitutes, or which
with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute, a default
or event of default by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof under
any Material Contract (which such default under such Material Contract, either
individually, or in the aggregate with all other outstanding defaults under
other Material Contracts (including, for purposes hereof, the effect of
termination of any other Material Contracts that could reasonably be expected to
be terminated as a result of such existing default or defaults), could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) or judgment, decree or
order to which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or
by which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
properties may be bound or which would require the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to make any payment thereunder prior to the scheduled
maturity date therefor.

     (w)    SENIOR DEBT STATUS. The Obligations of the Borrower and each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries under this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranteed
Obligations and each of the other Loan Documents ranks and shall continue to
rank at least senior in priority of payment to all Subordinated Debt and the
Obligations of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary under this Agreement
are hereby designated as "Senior Indebtedness" (or by a term with substantially
equivalent meaning) under all instruments and documents, now or in the future,
relating to all Subordinated Debt.

fact material to the creditworthiness of the Borrower or its Restricted
Subsidiaries or omits or will omit to state a fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained therein not misleading. The Borrower is not aware of
any facts which it has not disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent
having a Material Adverse Effect, or insofar as the Borrower can now foresee,
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 7.2         SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, ETC. All
representations and warranties set forth in this Article VII and all
representations and warranties contained in any certificate, or any of the Loan
Documents (including, but not limited to, any such representation or warranty

shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which

hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist
at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action
on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right,
power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of
dealing between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their
respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge
any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to
constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

result in the actual receipt by each of the Administrative Agent and Lenders of
the full amount of the particular Permitted Currency expressed to be payable
pursuant to the applicable Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall, using
all amounts obtained or received from the Borrower pursuant to any such tender
or recovery in payment of principal of and interest on the Obligations, promptly
purchase the applicable currency at the most favorable spot exchange rate
determined by the Administrative Agent to be available to it. The obligation of
the Borrower to make payments in the applicable currency shall be enforceable as
an alternative or additional cause of action solely for the purpose of
recovering in the applicable currency the amount, if any, by which such actual
receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the currency

                                       66

expressed to be payable pursuant to the applicable Loan Document.

     (b)    Without limiting Section 12.4(a), the Borrower shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, as
applicable, against any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
the Issuing Lender as a result of any payment or recovery described in Section
12.4(a) and as a result of any variation having occurred in rates of exchange
between the date of any such amount becoming due under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document and the date of actual payment thereof. The foregoing
indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Borrower
and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such payment or
recovery.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     SECTION 13.1   APPOINTMENT. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints Wachovia as Administrative Agent of such Lender under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the term hereof and each such
Lender irrevocably authorizes Wachovia, as Administrative Agent for such Lender,
to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement
and such other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and
therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist
against the Administrative Agent. Any reference to the Administrative Agent in
this Article XIII shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent solely in
its capacity as Administrative Agent and not in its capacity as a Lender. In
performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and each of the other
Loan Documents or in connection with them and in respect of anything relating to
them, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as the administrative agent of
(but not as trustee for (except to the extent specifically required pursuant to
the Security Documents)) the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall not
have any fiduciary duty towards any Person (except as expressly referred to
above) or be under any obligation other than those expressly provided for in
this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents.

     The Administrative Agent shall not in any way whatsoever assume, nor shall
it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation as agent of or trustee for, or any
relationship of agency or trust with or for, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
thereof.

     SECTION 13.2   DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Administrative Agent may execute
any of its respective duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care.

     SECTION 13.3   EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact,
Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or
omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents (except for actions occasioned solely by
its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b)
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with,
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents or for any failure of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The
Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

                                       67
<Page>

     SECTION 13.4   RELIANCE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of
any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been
transferred in accordance with Section 14.10. The Administrative Agent shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby or by
the relevant other Loan Documents, all the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or
it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action except for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the
Notes in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly
required hereby, all the Lenders), and such request and any action taken or
failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all
future holders of the Notes.

     SECTION 13.5   NOTICE OF DEFAULT. The Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default unless it has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders.
The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or,
when expressly required hereby, all the 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 or Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders, EXCEPT to the extent that
other provisions of this Agreement expressly require that any such action be
taken or not be taken only with the consent and authorization or the request of
the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable.

     SECTION 13.6   NON-RELIANCE ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.
Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact,
Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and
that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of
the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans and
issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents
expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent
hereunder or by the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which
may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact,
Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

     SECTION 13.7   INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify
the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and (to the extent that the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to be, and shall not have been,
reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower
to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentages and/or applicable Term Loan Percentages,

                                       68
<Page>

as applicable, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at
any time following the payment of the Loans or any Reimbursement Obligation) be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any
documents, reports or other information provided to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender or contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by
the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
PROVIDED that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative
Agent's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in
this Section 13.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans, any Reimbursement
Obligation and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 13.8   THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. The
Administrative Agent and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates may make
loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative
Agent hereunder. With respect to any Loans made or renewed by it and any Note
issued to it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it or
participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms
"Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.

     SECTION 13.9   RESIGNATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; SUCCESSOR
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving
thirty (30) days notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which successor shall have minimum capital and surplus of
at least $500,000,000 and (so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing) be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after
the Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which successor shall have minimum capital and surplus of
at least $500,000,000 and be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (so long as
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
provisions of this Section 13.9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as
Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 13.10  TRUSTEE POWERS. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, in its capacity as trustee
under certain of the Security Documents the Administrative Agent shall have:

     (a)    the benefit of all the provisions in this Article XIII and all other
            agency, indemnification and exculpatory provisions set forth in any
            other Loan Documents;

     (b)    all the powers of an absolute owner of the Lien constituted by such
            Security Documents;

     (c)    the power of appointing new and/or additional trustees; and

     (d)    all the powers and discretions conferred on trustees by the Trustee
            Act 1925 of the laws of England (to the extent not inconsistent with
            this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and on the
            Administrative Agent by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
            (including without limitation the power to invest all monies which
            are received by the Administrative Agent under the trusts contained
            in such Security Documents in its name or under its control in any
            investment for the time being authorized by United States, English
            or other applicable law for the investment

                                       69
<Page>

            by trustees of trust money or in any other investments which may be
            selected by the Administrative Agent). Additionally, the
            Administrative Agent shall have the power to place such monies on
            deposit in its name or under its control at such bank or institution
            (including at the Administrative Agent) and on such terms as the
            Administrative Agent may determine.

     SECTION 13.11 DOCUMENTATION AGENT AND SYNDICATION AGENT. Other than as
expressly provided herein, the Documentation and Syndication Agents, in their
respective capacities as documentation and syndication agents, shall have no
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 14.1   NOTICES.

     (a)    METHOD OF COMMUNICATION. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, all notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing, or by
telephone subsequently confirmed in writing. Any notice shall be effective if
delivered by hand delivery or sent via telecopy, recognized overnight courier
service or certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be presumed to be
received by a party hereto (i) on the date of delivery if delivered by hand or
sent by telecopy, (ii) on the next Business Day if sent by recognized overnight
courier service and (iii) on the third Business Day following the date sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested. A telephonic notice to the
Administrative Agent as understood by the Administrative Agent will be deemed to
be the controlling and proper notice in the event of a discrepancy with or
failure to receive a confirming written notice.

other Persons concerning the nature, scope or value of any right or remedy of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or any factual matters in connection therewith, which expenses shall
include without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of such
Persons, and (c) defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, and their respective parents, Subsidiaries, Affiliates,
employees, agents, officers and directors, from and against any losses,
penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses suffered
by any such Person in connection with any claim (including, without limitation,
any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other proceeding
(whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) and
the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with

contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's and consultant's fees, except to the extent that any of the foregoing
directly result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party
seeking indemnification therefor.

     SECTION 14.3   SET OFF.

     (a)    In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable
Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon and after the
occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the
Lenders and any assignee or participant of a Lender in accordance with Section
14.10 are hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time,
without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being
hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, including, but not limited to,
indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured)
and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Lenders, or any such
assignee or participant to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against and on account of the Obligations irrespective of whether or not (i) the
Lenders shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have declared any or all of the
Obligations to be due and payable as permitted by Section 12.2 and although such
Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, each Lender agrees to notify within three (3) Business Days the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application.

     (b)    Any amount to be set off pursuant to Section 14.3(a) shall be
denominated in Dollars and any amount denominated in an Alternative Currency
shall be in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such amount at the most
favorable spot exchange rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be
available to it; provided that if at the time of any such determination no such
spot exchange rate can reasonably be determined, the Administrative Agent may
use any reasonable method as it deems applicable to determine such rate, any
such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (c)    Each Lender and any assignee or participant of such Lender in
accordance with Section 14.10 are hereby authorized by the Borrower to combine
currencies, as deemed necessary by such Person, in order to effect any set-off
pursuant to Section 14.3(a).

     SECTION 14.4   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents, unless otherwise expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by,
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
(including Section 5-1401 and Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of
the State of

                                       71
<Page>

New York), without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of such state.

     SECTION 14.5   JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

     (a)    JURISDICTION. The Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the
personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, New
York (and any courts from which an appeal from any of such courts must or may be
taken), in any action, claim or other proceeding arising out of any dispute in
connection with this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, any
rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the performance of such rights
and obligations. The Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the service of a
summons and complaint and other process in any action, claim or proceeding
brought by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this
Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, any rights or obligations
hereunder or thereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations, on
behalf of itself or its property, in the manner specified in Section 14.1.
Nothing in this Section 14.5 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable
Law or affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring any
action or proceeding against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
other jurisdictions.

     (b)    VENUE. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection it may
have now or in the future to the laying of venue in the aforesaid jurisdiction
in any action, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with
or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document ("DISPUTES") or the
rights and obligations of the parties hereunder or thereunder. The Borrower
irrevocably waives, in connection with such action, claim or proceeding, any
plea or claim that the action, claim or other proceeding has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.

     SECTION 14.6   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

     (a)    JURY TRIAL. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND THE BORROWER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO
ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR
OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS.

     (b)    PRESERVATION OF CERTAIN REMEDIES. The parties hereto and the other
Loan Documents preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that such Persons
may employ or exercise freely, either alone, in conjunction with or during a
Dispute. Each such Person shall have and hereby reserves the right to proceed in
any court of proper jurisdiction or by self help to exercise or prosecute the
following remedies, as applicable: (i) all rights to foreclose against any real
or personal property or other security by exercising a power of sale granted in
the Loan Documents or under Applicable Law or by judicial foreclosure and sale,
including a proceeding to confirm the sale, (ii) all rights of self help
including peaceful occupation of property and collection of rents, set off, and
peaceful possession of property, (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary
remedies including injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment,
appointment of receiver and in filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, and
(iv) when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Preservation of
these remedies does not limit the power of an arbitrator to grant similar
remedies that may be requested by a party in a Dispute.

     SECTION 14.7   REVERSAL OF PAYMENTS. To the extent the Borrower makes a
payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the
collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
otherwise required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under
any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause (whether
by demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise), then, to the extent of such
payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 14.8   INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

     (a)    The Borrower recognizes that, in the event the Borrower fails to
perform, observe or discharge any

                                       72
<Page>

of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may
prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, the Borrower agrees
that the Lenders, at the Lenders' option, shall be entitled to seek temporary
and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of
proving actual damages.

     (b)    The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower (on behalf of
itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a
remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan
Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or
exemplary damages that they may now have or may arise in the future in
connection with any Dispute.

     SECTION 14.9   ACCOUNTING MATTERS. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in
accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time, provided that, if the
Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an
amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change
occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the
operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof
for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or
after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision
shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately
before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been
withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance therewith.

     SECTION 14.10  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTICIPATIONS.

     (a)    BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all
future holders of the Notes, and their respective successors and assigns, except
that the Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and
void).

     (b)    ASSIGNMENT BY LENDERS. Each Lender may, in the ordinary course of
its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, sell or assign to any
Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or in the case of the Term Loans any Approved
Fund and with the consent of the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing) and the consent of the Administrative
Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign to
one or more other Eligible Assignees (any of the forgoing assignees or
purchasers, a "PURCHASING LENDER") all or a portion of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of the Extensions of Credit at the time
owing to it and the Notes held by it); PROVIDED that:

            (i)     each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a
     varying, percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Term Loan
     Commitment, as applicable, of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
     under this Agreement;

            (ii)    if less than all of the assigning Lender's Revolving Credit
     Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, is to be assigned, the
     Commitment so assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000 with respect to
     the Revolving Credit Facility and $1,000,000 with respect to the Term Loan
     Facility (or otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and, so long as
     no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, consented to
     by the Borrower, which consent by the Borrower will not be unreasonably
     withheld or delayed), UNLESS such sale or assignment is made to an existing
     Lender, to an Affiliate thereof, or (with respect to any Term Loan) to an
     Approved Fund, in which case no minimum amount shall apply;

            (iii)   the Purchasing Lender shall have delivered to the
     Administrative Agent all United States Internal Revenue Service Forms
     required pursuant to Section 5.13(e) and all of the parties to each such
     assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its
     acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance
     substantially in the form of EXHIBIT G attached hereto (an "ASSIGNMENT AND
     ACCEPTANCE"), together with (to the extent requested by any Purchasing
     Lender) any Note or Notes subject to such assignment;

                                       73
<Page>

            (iv)    no assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, or
     participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans shall be made without
     the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline
     Lender, the Issuing Lender and (so long as no Default or Event of Default
     has occurred and is continuing) the Borrower (which consents shall not be
     unreasonably withheld);

            (v)     where consent of the Borrower to an assignment to a
     Purchasing Lender is required hereunder (including consent to an assignment
     to an Approved Fund), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its
     consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has
     been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
     unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such
     fifth (5th) Business Day;

            (vi)    such assignment shall not, without the consent of the
     Borrower, require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to or qualify the Loans or the
     Notes under the blue sky laws of any state; and

            (vii)   the assigning Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent
     an assignment fee of $2,500 upon the execution by such Lender of the
     Assignment and Acceptance; PROVIDED that no such fee shall be payable upon
     any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate thereof; and PROVIDED FURTHER
     that, in any case of contemporaneous assignments by a Lender (including a
     group of affiliated Lenders that are funds managed by the same investment
     advisor) to a single assignee or more than one fund managed by the same
     investment advisor (which funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a
     single $2,500 fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous
     assignments.

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 (5) Business Days after the execution thereof (unless
otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent), (A) the Purchasing Lender
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
and (B) the Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such assignment,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of an assignment to a Purchasing Lender, which is,
immediately prior to such assignment, an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, such
assignment shall be effective between such Lender and its Affiliate immediately
without compliance with the conditions for assignment under this Section
14.10(b), but shall not be effective with respect to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Lender,
and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline
Lender and each Lender shall be entitled to deal solely with such assigning
Lender under any such assignment, in each case, until the conditions for
assignment under this Section 14.10(b) have been complied with.

     (c)    RIGHTS AND DUTIES UPON ASSIGNMENT. By executing and delivering an
Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Purchasing
Lender thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties
hereto as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance.

     (d)    REGISTER. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance and each Additional Term Loan Agreement delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders
and the amount of the Extensions of Credit with respect to each Lender from time
to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in
the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The entries in the Register
applicable to any Lender shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or
such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

     (e)    ISSUANCE OF NEW NOTES. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and a Purchasing Lender together with
any Note or Notes (if applicable) subject to such assignment and (if applicable)
the written consent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such
Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is substantially in the form of
EXHIBIT G:

            (i)     accept such Assignment and Acceptance;

                                       74
<Page>

            (ii)    record the information contained therein in the Register;

            (iii)   give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower;
and

            (iv)    promptly deliver a copy of such Assignment and Acceptance to
the Borrower.

Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered
Note or Notes, a new Note or Notes to the order of such Purchasing Lender (to
the extent requested thereby) in amounts equal to the Revolving Credit
Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment
and Acceptance and a new Note or Notes to the order of the assigning Lender (to
the extent requested thereby) in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit
Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note
or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective
date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially
the form of the assigned Notes delivered to the assigning Lender. Each
surrendered Note or Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender which has
not been issued a Note or Notes hereunder may at any time deliver a written
request for a Note or Notes to the Administrative Agent and Borrower. Within
five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent, a Note or Notes (as applicable) to the
order of such Lender in amounts equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or
Term Loan Commitment of such Lender. Upon receipt thereby, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly deliver such Note or Notes to such Lender.

     (f)    PARTICIPATIONS. Each Lender may, without notice to or the consent of
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in the ordinary course of its
commercial banking business and in accordance with Applicable Law, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other
entity, a "PARTICIPANT") in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Extensions of Credit and the Notes held by it); PROVIDED that:

            (i)     such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including,
     without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan
     Commitment, as applicable) shall remain unchanged;

            (ii)    such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
     parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

            (iii)   such Lender shall remain the holder of the Notes held by it
     for all purposes of this Agreement;

            (iv)    the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders
     shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
     with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement;

            (v)     such Lender shall not permit such Participant the right to
     approve any waivers, amendments or other modifications to this Agreement or
     any other Loan Document other than waivers, amendments or modifications
     which would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Loan or
     Reimbursement Obligation, extend the term or increase the amount of the
     Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment of such Lender,
     reduce the amount of any fees to which such Participant is entitled, extend
     any scheduled payment date for principal of or interest on any Loan or any
     fee or Reimbursement Obligation or, except as expressly contemplated hereby
     or thereby, release substantially all of the Collateral or release any
     Subsidiary Guarantor (except as expressly contemplated hereby); and

            (vi)    any such disposition shall not, without the consent of the
     Borrower, require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify the Loans or the
     Notes under the blue sky law of any state.

     The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 5.7, Section 5.10,

                                       75
<Page>

Section 5.11, Section 5.12, Section 5.13 and Section 14.3 to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section 14.10; PROVIDED that a Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.7, Section 5.10, Section
5.11, Section 5.12, and Section 5.13 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower's prior written consent and such Participant shall have delivered to
the Administrative Agent all United States Internal Revenue Service Forms
required pursuant to Section 5.13(e).

     (g)    DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY. The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall hold all non-public information with respect to the
Borrower obtained pursuant to the Loan Documents (or any Hedging Agreement with
a Lender or the Administrative Agent) in accordance with their customary
procedures for handling confidential information; PROVIDED, that the
Administrative Agent may disclose information relating to this Agreement to GOLD
SHEETS and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of
deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications and
PROVIDED FURTHER, that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may disclose any
such information to the extent such disclosure is (i) required by law or
requested or required pursuant to any legal process, (ii) requested by, or
required to be disclosed to, any rating agency, or regulatory or similar
authority (including, without limitation, the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (iii) used in any suit, action or proceeding for the purpose of
defending itself, reducing its liability or protecting any of its claims,
rights, remedies or interests under or in connection with the Loan Documents (or
any Hedging Agreement with a Lender or the Administrative Agent) or (iv) related
to the "tax treatment" or "tax structure" (in each case within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby
and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that
are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax
treatment or tax structure.. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment,
proposed assignment, participation or proposed participation pursuant to this
Section 14.10, disclose to the Purchasing Lender, proposed Purchasing Lender,
Participant, proposed Participant, or to any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional
advisor any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or
on behalf of the Borrower; PROVIDED, that prior to any such disclosure, each
such Purchasing Lender, proposed Purchasing Lender, Participant, proposed
Participant, contractual counterparty or professional advisor shall agree to be
bound by the provisions of this Section 14.10(g).

     (h)    CERTAIN PLEDGES OR ASSIGNMENTS. Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document to secure obligations of such Lender,
including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; PROVIDED that no such pledge or assignment or grant of a
security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     to extend beyond a date which is five (5) days prior to the Revolving
     Credit Maturity Date), shall, in each case, require the written consent of

     Loans, which such Lender is directly affected thereby;

            (c)     any consent, waiver or amendment purporting to: (i) release

            (d)     all other amendments, waivers or consents not set forth in
     paragraphs (a) (b) and (c) above, shall require the written consent of the
     Required Lenders.

In addition, no amendment, waiver or consent to the provisions of (a) Article
XIII shall be made without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and
(b) Article III without the written consent of the Issuing Lender.

Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be performed by the
Borrower at its sole cost and expense.

     SECTION 14.13  ALL POWERS COUPLED WITH INTEREST. All powers of attorney and
other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any
Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the
Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in
effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XIV and any other

5.12, 9.7, 12.4 and 14.2) and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full
force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
against events arising after such termination as well as before.

Sections and subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are

Agreement.

     SECTION 14.16  SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     SECTION 14.17  COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding
upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together
shall constitute

                                       77
<Page>

one and the same agreement.

     SECTION 14.18  TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall remain in effect
from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations
arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly
and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and all Commitments have been
terminated. The Administrative Agent is hereby permitted to release all Liens on
the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
itself and the Lenders, upon repayment of the outstanding principal of and all
accrued interest on the Loans, payment of all outstanding fees and expenses
hereunder and the termination of the Lenders' Commitments. No termination of
this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto
arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this
Agreement which survives such termination.

     SECTION 14.19  ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties represents to each
other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement with its counsel.

     SECTION 14.20  NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated

authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

     SECTION 14.21  INCONSISTENCIES WITH OTHER DOCUMENTS; INDEPENDENT EFFECT OF
COVENANTS.

     (a)    In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this
Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall
control; PROVIDED, that any provision of the Security Documents which imposes
additional burdens on the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or further restricts the
rights of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or
Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent
with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.

     (b)    This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the
Existing Credit Agreement, as amended, effective from and after the Closing
Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a
novation of any Debt or other obligations owing to the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement based on facts or
events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing
Credit Agreement, as amended, shall be amended, supplemented, modified and
restated in their entirety by the facilities described herein, and all loans and
other obligations of the Borrower outstanding as of such date under the Existing
Credit Agreement, as amended, shall be deemed to be loans and obligations
outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without any
further action by any Person, except that the Administrative Agent shall make
such transfers of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balance
of such Loans, together with any Loans funded on the Closing Date, reflect the
Commitments of the Lenders hereunder.

     (c)    The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant
contained in Articles IX, X and XI hereof shall be given independent effect.
Accordingly, the Borrower shall not engage in any transaction or other act
otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Articles IX, X or XI if,
before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the Borrower shall or
would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles IX, X, or XI.

     SECTION 14.22  CONTINUITY OF CONTRACT. The parties hereto agree that the
occurrence or non-occurrence of EMU, any event or events associated with EMU
and/or the introduction of the euro in all or any part of the European Union (a)
will not result in the discharge, cancellation, rescission or termination in
whole or in part of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) will not give
any party the right to cancel, rescind, terminate or vary this Agreement or any
other Loan Document and (c) will not give rise to an Event of Default, in each
case other than as specifically provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 2.     HOLDERS

     A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each,
a "HOLDER") whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.

SECTION 3.     REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER

     (a)  Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable law or
Commission policy, the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) use reasonable best
efforts to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the Commission on
or prior to 90 days (unless such date is not a Business Day, then the next
succeeding Business Day) after the Condition for Release has been met (such 90th
day being the "FILING DEADLINE"), (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement to declared effective by the Commission on
or prior to 180 days (unless such date is not a Business Day, then the next
succeeding Business Day) after the Condition for Release has been met (such
180th day being the "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE"), (iii) in connection with the
foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement as may be reasonably necessary in order to cause it to be
declared effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and
(C) cause all reasonably necessary filings, if any, in connection with the
registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue
Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the
Exchange Offer, PROVIDED that the Company shall not be required to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified
or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process or
taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject and (iv) (A) the
Company and the Guarantors will commence the Exchange Offer; and (B) use all
commercially reasonable efforts to issue on or prior to 30 business days, or
longer, if required by the federal securities laws (such 30th or later day being
the "CONSUMMATION DEADLINE"), after the date on which the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission, exchange
Exchange Notes for all Notes properly tendered and not subsequently withdrawn
prior thereto in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the
appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered
in exchange for the Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii)
resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange
Offer Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of
market making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired
directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section
3(c) below.

                                        3
<Page>

     (b)  The Company and the Guarantors shall use all their respective
reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be
effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open, for a period of
not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state
securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no
event shall such period be less than 20 business days. The Company and the
Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal
and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be
included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.

     (c)  The Company shall include a "Plan of Distribution" section in the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate
therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that
were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired directly from
the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such "Plan of
Distribution" section shall also contain all other information with respect to
such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to
permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such "Plan of Distribution" shall not
name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the
Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the
date of this Agreement. See the SHEARMAN & STERLING no-action letter (available
July 2, 1993).

     Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange
Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company and
Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus
delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of
Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Company and the Guarantors agree to use
their respective reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required
by and subject to the provisions of Section 6(a) and (c) hereof and in
conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies,
rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a
period of one year from the Consummation Deadline or such shorter period as will
terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration
Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company and the Guarantors shall
provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such
Broker-Dealers, as soon as reasonably possible upon request, and in no event
later than one day after such request, at any time during such period.

SECTION 4.     SHELF REGISTRATION

     (a)  SHELF REGISTRATION. If (i) the Company and the Guarantors are not (A)
required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (B) permitted to
Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by
applicable law or Commission policy or (ii) if any Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities shall notify the Company within 20 business days following the
Consummation Deadline that (A) such Holder was prohibited by law or Commission
policy from participating in the Exchange Offer or (B) such Holder may not
resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public
without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by
such Holder;

                                        4
<Page>

or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Notes acquired directly from the
Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company and the Guarantors will file
a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined below) to cover resales of the Notes
by Holders of the Notes who satisfy certain conditions relating to the provision
of information in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. If obligated
to file a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to:

   (x) file, on or prior to 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which
the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement cannot be
filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above and (ii) the date on which the Company
receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above, (such earlier date, the
"FILING DEADLINE"), a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(the "SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT")), relating to all Transfer Restricted
Securities, the Holders of which shall have provided the information required by
Section 4(b) hereof; and

   (y) cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to 90 days after the obligation arises for the Shelf
Registration Statement (such 90th day the "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE").

     If, after the Company and the Guarantors have filed an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above,
the Company and the Guarantors are required to file and make effective a Shelf
Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under
applicable federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i) above), then the filing of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the
requirements of clause (x) above; PROVIDED that, in such event, the Company and
the Guarantors shall remain obligated to meet the Effectiveness Deadline set
forth in clause (y).

     To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is
available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof
entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required
to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, the Company and
the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep any Shelf
Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective,
supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions
of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this
Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as
announced from time to time, for a period of at least two years (as extended
pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) hereof) following the Closing Date, or such shorter
period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such
Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto.

     (b)  PROVISION BY HOLDERS OF CERTAIN INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE
SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may
include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to
the Company in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the
information specified in Item 507 or Item 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable,
of the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. No Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to
Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such
information in the required times. Each selling

                                        5
<Page>

Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be
disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company
by such Holder not materially misleading.

SECTION 5.     LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

     If (i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not filed
with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii) any such
Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or
prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (the "EFFECTIVENESS TARGET
DATE"), (iii) the Company and the Guarantors fail to Consummate the Exchange
Offer within 30 business days following the Effectiveness Target Date with
respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, unless extended as
required by the Commission or (iv) any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement is filed and declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective
or usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during
the period specified herein (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through
(iv), a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), then the Company and the Guarantors hereby
jointly and severally agree to pay to each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities affected thereby liquidated damages in an amount equal to a per annum
rate of .25% on the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by
such Holder for each week or portion thereof that the Registration Default
continues for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
such Registration Default. The amount of the liquidated damages shall increase
by an additional per annum rate of .25% with respect to each subsequent 90-day
period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount
of liquidated damages of 1.00% per annum on the principal amount of Notes
constituting Transfer Restricted Securities; PROVIDED that the Company and the
Guarantors shall in no event be required to pay liquidated damages for more than
one Registration Default at any given time. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case
of (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case
of (ii) above, (3) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (iii)
above, or (4) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement)
to again be declared effective or made usable in the case of (iv) above, the
liquidated damages payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as
a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, shall cease.

     All accrued liquidated damages shall be paid to the Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the
Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the
Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which
liquidated damages are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to pay liquidated damages with
respect to securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with
respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.

     A Registration Default referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 5
hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a
Registration Statement or the related prospectus if such Registration Default
has occurred solely as a result of material events, with respect to the Company
that would need to be described in such Registration Statement or the related
prospectus and the Company has provided written notice to the Initial Purchasers
that such an event has occurred and that a Registration Default would have
occurred but for the provisions of this section; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in any

SECTION 6.     REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

     (a)  EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT. In connection with the Exchange
Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the provisions of the
third paragraph of Section 5 above, (x) comply with all applicable provisions of
Section 6(c) below, (y) use their respective reasonable best efforts to effect
such exchange and to permit the resale of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that
tendered in the Exchange Offer Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its
own account as a result of its market making activities or other trading
activities (other than Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its
Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof, and (z) comply with all of the following provisions:

          (i)    If, following the date hereof there has been announced a change
     in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the Exchange
     Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company raises a
     substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by
     applicable federal law, or the Company and the Guarantors are not (A)
     required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (B) permitted
     to Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not
     permitted by applicable law or Commission policy or (C) obligated to file
     the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors hereby
     agree to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the
     Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an
     Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company and the
     Guarantors hereby agree to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the
     Commission staff level. In connection with the foregoing, the Company and
     the Guarantors hereby agree to take all such other actions as may be
     requested by the Commission or otherwise required in connection with the
     issuance of such decision, including without limitation (A) participating
     in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) delivering to the
     Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting
     forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that
     such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursuing a
     resolution (which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff;

          (ii)   As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each
     Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation,
     any Holder who is a Broker Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the
     Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written
     representation to the Company and the Guarantors (which may be contained in
     the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company,
     (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no
     arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a
     distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and
     (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business.
     As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using
     the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes
     shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Exchange Notes
     obtained by such Holder in exchange for Notes acquired directly from the
     Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy
     as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the
     Commission enunciated in EXXON CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION (available May
     13, 1988) and MORGAN STANLEY AND CO., INC. (available June 5, 1991), as
     interpreted in the Commission's letter

                                        7
<Page>

     to SHEARMAN & STERLING dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters
     (including, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause
     (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus
     delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale
     transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by
     an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder
     information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation
     S-K; and

          (iii)  Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall provide a supplemental
     letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company and the Guarantors
     are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the
     Commission enunciated in EXXON CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION (available May
     13, 1988) and MORGAN STANLEY AND CO., INC. (available June 5, 1991) as
     interpreted in the Commission's letter to SHEARMAN & STERLING dated July 2,
     1993, and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause
     (i) above, (B) including a representation that neither the Company nor any
     Guarantor has entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person
     to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and
     that, to the best of the Company's and each Guarantor's information and
     belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the
     Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or
     understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the
     Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking
     or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action
     letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.

     (b)  SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT. In connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the
provisions of the third paragraph of Section 5 above:

          (i)    comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and use
     their respective reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to
     permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in
     accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as
     indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section
     4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company and the Guarantors will
     prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to
     the registration on any appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be
     available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance
     with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof within the time
     periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof; and

          (ii)   issue, upon the request of any Holder or purchaser of the Notes
     covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement,
     Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
     principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
     and surrendered to the Company for cancellation; the Company shall register
     Exchange Notes on the Shelf Registration Statement for this purpose and
     issue the Exchange Notes to the purchasers of securities subject to the
     Shelf Registration Statement in the names as such purchasers shall
     designate.

     (c)  GENERAL PROVISIONS. In connection with any Registration Statement and
any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company and the
Guarantors shall, subject to the provisions of the third paragraph of Section 5
above:

                                        8
<Page>

          (i)    use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep such
     Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite
     financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or Section 4 of
     this Agreement, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event that would
     cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein
     (A) to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any
     material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
     (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted
     Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company and
     the Guarantors shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such
     Registration Statement curing such defect, and, if Commission review is
     required, use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such
     amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable;

          (ii)   prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
     post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may
     be reasonably necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for
     the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, as the
     case may be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required
     Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule
     424 under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as
     applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the
     provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
     covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in
     accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the
     sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to
     the Prospectus;

          (iii)  advise each Holder promptly and, if requested by such Holder,
     confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus
     supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to
     any applicable Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
     thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the
     Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or
     supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating
     thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
     the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act or of the
     suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the
     Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or
     the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of
     the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any
     statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the
     Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document
     incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of
     any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement in order to make
     the statements therein not misleading, or that requires the making of any
     additions to or changes in the Prospectus in order to make the statements
     therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order
     suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state
     securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order
     suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the
     Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the
     Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best
     efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest
     possible time;

          (iv)   subject to Section 6(c)(i), if any fact or event contemplated
     by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a
     supplement or post-effective amendment to the

                                        9
<Page>

     Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated
     therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as
     thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities,
     the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
     omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
     in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading;

          (v)    furnish to each Initial Purchaser and each Holder named in the
     Shelf Registration Statement in connection with such exchange or sale, if
     any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration
     Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or
     supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, which
     documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Persons in
     connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least three business
     days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or
     Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration
     Statement or Prospectus to which such Persons shall reasonably object
     within three business days after the receipt thereof. A Holder shall be
     deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration
     Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed
     to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
     state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
     misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Act;

          (vi)   make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each
     Holder and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders, all
     financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents of the Company
     and the Guarantors and cause the Company's and the Guarantors' officers,
     directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by
     any such Holder, attorney or accountant in connection with such
     Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent
     to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness;

          (vii)  if requested by any Holders in connection with such exchange or
     sale, promptly include in any Registration Statement or Prospectus,
     pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such
     information as such Holders may reasonably request to have included
     therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the "Plan
     of Distribution" of the Transfer Restricted Securities; and make all
     required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
     as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be
     included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

          (viii) furnish to each Holder, upon such Holder's request, in
     connection with such exchange or sale, without charge, at least one copy of
     the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each
     amendment thereto, including all documents incorporated by reference
     therein and all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by
     reference);

          (ix)   deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the
     Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or
     supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; the Company and
     the Guarantors hereby consent to the use (in accordance with law) of the
     Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder
     in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted
     Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
     thereto;

                                       10
<Page>

          (x)    upon the request of any Holder, enter into such agreements
     (including underwriting agreements) and make such representations and
     warranties and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order
     to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted
     Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by
     this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by any Holder in connection
     with any sale or resale pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement. In
     such connection, the Company and the Guarantors shall:

                 (A)  upon request of any Holder, furnish (or in the case of
          paragraphs (2) and (3), use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be
          furnished) to each Holder upon the effectiveness of the Shelf
          Registration Statement, as the case may be:

                      (1) a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of
                 the Company and each Guarantor by (x) the President or any Vice
                 President and (y) a principal financial or accounting officer
                 of the Company and such Guarantor, confirming, as of the date
                 thereof, the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and
                 8(d) of the Purchase Agreement and such other similar matters
                 as such Holders may reasonably request;

                      (2) an opinion, dated the date of effectiveness of the
                 Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, of counsel
                 for the Company and the Guarantors covering matters similar to
                 those set forth in paragraph (h) of Section 8 of the Purchase
                 Agreement and such other matters as such Holder may reasonably
                 request, and in any event including a statement to the effect
                 that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers
                 and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors,
                 representatives of the independent public accountants for the
                 Company and the Guarantors and have considered the matters
                 required to be stated therein and the statements contained
                 therein, although such counsel has not independently verified
                 the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements; and
                 that such counsel advises that, on the basis of the foregoing
                 (relying as to materiality to the extent such counsel deems
                 appropriate upon the statements of officers and other
                 representatives of the Company and the Guarantor(s) and without
                 independent check or verification), no facts came to such
                 counsel's attention that caused such counsel to believe that
                 the Shelf Registration Statement, at the time such Shelf
                 Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
                 became effective contained an untrue statement of a material
                 fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to
                 make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
                 under which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting
                 the foregoing, such counsel may state further that such counsel
                 assumes no responsibility for, and has not independently
                 verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the
                 financial statements, notes and schedules and other financial
                 data included in any Registration Statement contemplated by
                 this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and

                      (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of
                 effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case
                 may be, from the Company's independent accountants, in the
                 customary form and covering matters of the type

                                       11
<Page>

                 customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in
                 connection with underwritten offerings, and affirming the
                 matters set forth in the comfort letters and agreed upon
                 procedures letters, as applicable, delivered pursuant to
                 Sections (8)(j), 8(k), 8(l) and 8(m) of the Purchase Agreement;
                 and

                 (B)  deliver such other documents and certificates as may be
          reasonably requested by the selling Holders to evidence compliance
          with the matters covered in clause (A) above and with any customary
          conditions contained in the any agreement entered into by the Company
          and the Guarantors pursuant to this clause (xi);

          (xi)   prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities,
     cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the
     registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under
     the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling
     Holders may request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or
     advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer
     Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement;
     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be
     required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not
     now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service
     of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and
     transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction
     where it is not now so subject;

          (xii)  in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities
     that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer Restricted
     Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation
     and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to
     be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and to register such
     Transfer Restricted Securities in such denominations and such names as the
     selling Holders may reasonably request at least two business days prior to
     such sale of Transfer Restricted Securities;

          (xiii) use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the
     disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the
     Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other
     governmental agencies or authorities as may be reasonably necessary to
     enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such
     Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in clause
     (xii) above;

          (xiv)  provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities
     not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement covering such
     Transfer Restricted Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture
     with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which are
     in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company;

          (xv)   otherwise use their respective reasonable best efforts to
     comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and
     make generally available to its security holders with regard to any
     applicable Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a consolidated
     earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 under the Act
     (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after
     the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined
     in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act);

                                       12
<Page>

          (xvi)  cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later
     than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by
     this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and
     the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be reasonably
     required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms
     of the TIA; and execute and use its best efforts to cause the Trustee to
     execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all
     other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to
     enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; and

          (xvii) provide promptly to each Holder, upon request, each document
     filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or
     Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     (d)  RESTRICTIONS ON HOLDERS. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a
Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in
Section 6(c)(iii)(C) or any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact
of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof (in each case, a
"SUSPENSION NOTICE"), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement
until (i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is
advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed,
and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (in each case, the "RECOMMENCEMENT
DATE"). Each Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it will
either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in
such Holder's possession which have been replaced by the Company with more
recently dated Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company's
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder's
possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that
was current at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The time period
regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section
3 or Section 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by a number of days
equal to the number of days in the period from and including the date of
delivery of the Suspension Notice to the date of delivery of the Recommencement
Date.

SECTION 7.     REGISTRATION EXPENSES

     (a)  All expenses incident to the Company's and the Guarantors' performance
of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of

     (b)  In connection with any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), regardless of whether a
Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company and the Guarantors will
reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities who are tendering Notes into in the Exchange Offer and/or selling or
reselling Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the "Plan of Distribution"
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration
Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more
than one counsel, who shall be Latham & Watkins LLP, unless another firm shall
be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer
Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being
prepared.

SECTION 8.     INDEMNIFICATION

     (a)  The Company and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and each
Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments and expenses whatsoever (including
without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing or defending against any investigation or litigation,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid
in settlement of any claim or litigation) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) provided by the Company to any Holder or any prospective purchaser of
Exchange Notes or registered Notes, or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by an untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon information
relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by or on
behalf any of the Holders.

     (b)  Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and
not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, and
their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives and
agents, and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15
of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, or the Guarantors to
the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors
set forth in section (a) above, but only with reference to information relating
to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such
Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus
or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto.) In no event shall any
Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder be liable
or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount
received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted
Securities or Exchange Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i)
the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii)
the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any
Person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

     (c)  In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) (the
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the

                                       14
<Page>

"INDEMNIFYING PERSON") in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure
so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which
it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been
prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which
it may otherwise have). In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to
the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or
parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such
case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall
have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties in connection with
the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have
employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action within a
reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such
indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those
available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the
indemnifying party or parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of
such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which
events such fees and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying
parties. In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with
any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the
same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys
(in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees
and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be
designated in writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company and Guarantors, in the
case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party
shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any
settlement of any action (i) effected with its written consent or (ii) effected
without its written consent if the settlement is entered into more than twenty
business days after the indemnifying party shall have received a request from
the indemnified party for reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in
any case where such fees and expenses are at the expense of the indemnifying
party) and, prior to the date of such settlement, the indemnifying party shall
have failed to comply with such reimbursement request. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect
to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party
is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have
been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement,
compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified
party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the subject
matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the
indemnified party.

     (d)  To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8
is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from their sale
of Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
8(d)(i) above is not permitted

                                       15
<Page>

by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative
fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on
the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or such
Guarantor, on the one hand, or by the Holder, on the other hand, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a), any legal or other fees or
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim.

     The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by
pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any
action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, its
directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder shall be
required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total received by such Holder with respect to the sale of Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the
amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the
amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders'
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in
proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities
held by each Holder hereunder and not joint.

SECTION 9.     RULE 144A AND RULE 144

     The Company and each Guarantor agrees with each Holder, for so long as any
Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which
the Company or such Guarantor (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or
beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities
designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d) of
the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in
order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule
144.

SECTION 10.    MISCELLANEOUS

     (a)  REMEDIES. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that
any failure by the Company and/or the Guarantors to comply with their respective
obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof may result in material irreparable
injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate
remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries
precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or
any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the
Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. The
Company and the Guarantors further agree to waive the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     (b)  NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor
will, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with
respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
Neither the Company nor any Guarantor has previously entered into any agreement
granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person.
The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and
are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's and
the Guarantors' securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

     (c)  AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5
hereof and this Section 10(c)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent
of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the
case of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written
consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by the
Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent
to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights
of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are being tendered pursuant to
the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights
of other Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are not being tendered
pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of
the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to
such Exchange Offer.

     (d)  THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. The Holders shall be third party
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and
shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they may
deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights
of Holders hereunder.

     (e)  NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail
(registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, telecopier, or air
courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

transferee of any Holder shall acquire Transfer Restricted Securities in any
manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Transfer Restricted
Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by
taking and holding such Transfer Restricted Securities such Person shall be
conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictions on resale set
forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the Purchase Agreement, and such
Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

     (g)  COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of

contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of
the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises,
warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein
with respect to the registration rights granted with respect to the Transfer
Restricted Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
