preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in
transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any
consequence arising from causes beyond the reasonable control of Issuing Bank;
PROVIDED, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse Issuing Bank from
liability to Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Company
to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Company that are caused
by Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and
other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms
thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), Issuing Bank shall be deemed
to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the
foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that,
with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank may,
in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

(g) DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES. Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment
under a Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Administrative
Agent and Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for
payment and whether Issuing Bank has made or will make a Letter of Credit
Disbursement thereunder; PROVIDED, any failure to give or delay in giving such
notice shall not relieve Company of its obligation to reimburse Issuing Bank and
the Lenders with respect to any such Letter of Credit Disbursement.

(h) INTERIM INTEREST. If Issuing Bank shall make any Letter of Credit
Disbursement, then, unless Company shall reimburse such Letter of Credit
Disbursement in full on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made, the
unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the
date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that
Company reimburses such Letter of Credit Disbursement, at the rate per annum
then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans; PROVIDED, if
Company fails to reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement when due pursuant
to paragraph (e) of this Section, then such unpaid amount shall bear interest at
a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise
applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Interest accrued
pursuant to this paragraph

                                -43-

<PAGE>

shall be for the account of Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and
after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section to reimburse Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the
extent of such payment.

(i) REPLACEMENT OF ISSUING BANK; ADDITIONAL ISSUING BANKS. (i) Issuing Bank may
be replaced at any time by written agreement among Company, Administrative
Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. Administrative
Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of Issuing Bank. At the
time any such replacement shall become effective, Company shall pay all unpaid
fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the
effective date of any such replacement, (A) the successor Issuing Bank shall
have all the rights and obligations of Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (B) references herein
to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any
previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as
the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder,
the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have
all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall
not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. A Revolving Lender may
become an Issuing Bank pursuant to a written agreement among Company,
Administrative Agent and such Revolving Lender (an "ADDITIONAL ISSUING BANK"),
but only if the Issuing Bank has an insufficiently high credit rating for the
issuance of the requested Letter of Credit, whereupon Administrative Agent shall
notify other Revolving Lenders of such Additional Issuing Bank. Upon becoming an
Additional Issuing Bank, all references to "Issuing Bank" herein shall be deemed
to include such Additional Issuing Bank for the purposes of such Letters of
Credit.

(j) CASH COLLATERALIZATION. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that Company receives notice from Administrative
Agent or the Requisite Class Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, Issuing Bank) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to
this paragraph, Company shall deposit in an account with Administrative Agent,
in the name of Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an
amount in cash equal to the Letter of Credit Exposure as of such date plus any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon; PROVIDED, the obligation to deposit such
cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall
become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind,
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Company described in
Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(g). Such deposit shall be held by Administrative Agent as
collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of Company under
this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any
interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be
made at the option and sole discretion of Administrative Agent and at Company's
risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.

                                -44-

<PAGE>

Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by Administrative Agent to
reimburse Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements for which it has not
been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the
satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Company at such time or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of
Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of Company under this
Agreement. If Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to
the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be promptly returned to Company after
all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

2.5. SWING LINE LOANS.

(a) SWING LINE LOANS COMMITMENT. During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to make
Swing Line Loans to Company in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the
Swing Line Sublimit; PROVIDED, after giving effect to the making of any Swing
Line Loan, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments
exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Amounts borrowed pursuant to
this Section 2.5 may be repaid and reborrowed during the Revolving Commitment
Period. Swing Line Lender's Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Revolving
Commitment Termination Date and Company shall repay the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swing Line Loan and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of
the earlier of (i) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (ii) any date on
which Company is borrowing Revolving Loans or Delayed Draw Loans and (iii) the
first date at least two Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made that is
the 15th or last day of any calendar month.

(b) BORROWING MECHANICS FOR SWING LINE LOANS.

(i) Swing Line Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000
and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) Whenever Company desires that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan,
Company shall deliver to Swing Line Lender, with a copy to Agents (subject to
Section 3.2(b)) a Funding Notice no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the proposed Credit Date.

(iii) Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available
to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at
Administrative Agent's Principal Office. Except as provided herein, upon
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein,
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans available
to Company on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds
in Dollars equal to the proceeds of

                                -45-

<PAGE>

all such Swing Line Loans received by Administrative Agent from Swing Line
Lender to be credited to an account designated in writing to Administrative
Agent by Company.

(iv) With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been prepaid by Company
pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15, Swing Line Lender may at any time in
its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy
to Company), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business
Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to
be a Funding Notice given by Company) requesting that each Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Company on
such Credit Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the
"REFUNDED SWING LINE LOANS") outstanding on the date such notice is given which
Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving
Loans made by the Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately
delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Company) and
applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and
(2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender's Pro Rata Share
of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of
a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender to Company, and such portion of the
Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing
Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of Swing Line
Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender's outstanding
Revolving Loans to Company and shall be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued
by Company to Swing Line Lender. Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent
and Swing Line Lender to charge Company's accounts with Administrative Agent and
Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to
immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to
the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders, including the
Revolving Loan deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to
repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount
paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on
behalf of Company from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the
benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be
ratably shared among all the Revolving Lenders.

(v) If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section
2.5(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line
Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third
Business Day after demand for payment thereof by Swing Line Lender, each Lender
holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have
purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans, and in an amount
equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with
accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business

                                -46-

<PAGE>

Day's notice from Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment
shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective
participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal
Office of Swing Line Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Lender
holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at
the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment
fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender's
participation as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled
to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon
for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for
the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as
applicable.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each
Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any
Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each
Lender's obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans
pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without
limitation (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a
Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations,
properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any
Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by
any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; and (2) Swing Line Lender shall
not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so
after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of
Default or (B) at a time when a Funding Default exists unless Swing Line Lender
has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate Swing
Line Lender's risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender's participation in such
Swing Ling Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

2.6. PRO RATA SHARES; AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS.

(a) PRO RATA SHARES. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased,
by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata
Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default
by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment
of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other
Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or
purchase a participation required hereby.

                                -47-

<PAGE>

(b) AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified
by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not
intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender's
Loan requested on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Credit
Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount on such Credit
Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to
Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with
interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount
is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative
Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and
thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding
amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent's demand therefor, Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify Company and Company shall immediately pay such
corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for
each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to
Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such
Class of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.6(b) shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitment, its Delayed Draw
Commitment, its Revolving Commitment or its obligation to purchase
participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(d) hereunder or to
prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender as a result of any
default by such Lender hereunder.

2.7. USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date
shall be applied by Company on the Closing Date to pay Merger Financing
Requirements. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters
of Credit made after the Closing Date shall be applied by Company for Permitted
Acquisition Expenses, working capital and general corporate purposes of Company
and its Subsidiaries; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in no event will the proceeds of
Revolving Loans be used for the purposes of prepaying Loans as permitted under
Section 2.14 hereof. The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Loans shall be used solely
to pay Permitted Acquisition Expenses. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit
Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit
Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T,
Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

2.8. EVIDENCE OF DEBT; REGISTER; LENDERS' BOOKS AND RECORDS; NOTES.

(a) LENDERS' EVIDENCE OF DEBT. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal
records an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Company to such
Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and
prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and
binding on Company, absent manifest error; PROVIDED, failure

                                -48-

<PAGE>

to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect
any Lender's Commitments or Company's Obligations in respect of any applicable
Loans; and PROVIDED FURTHER, in the event of any inconsistency between the
Register and any Lender's records, the recordations in the Register shall
govern.

(b) REGISTER. Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of Company, shall maintain
at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to
time (the "REGISTER"). The Register shall be available for inspection by Company
or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
request. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Commitments and
the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount
of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on
Company and each Lender, absent manifest error; PROVIDED, failure to make any
such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any
Lender's Commitments or Company's Obligations in respect of any Loan. Company
hereby designates GSCP to serve as Company's agent solely for purposes of
maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.8, and Company hereby
agrees that, to the extent GSCP serves in such capacity, GSCP and its officers,
directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute "Indemnitees."

(c) NOTES. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Company (with a
copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing
Date, or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to such
Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person
who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date
(or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after
Company's receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender's Term
Loan, Delayed Draw Loan, Swing Line Loan or Revolving Loan, as the case may be.

2.9 INTEREST ON LOANS.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Loan shall bear interest
on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) in the case of Delayed Draw Loans and Revolving Loans:

(1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the
Applicable Margin;

(ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin; and

                                -49-

<PAGE>

(iii) in the case of Term Loans:

(1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate PLUS 2.00% per annum; or

(2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate PLUS 3.00% per
annum.

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan
(except a Swing Line Loan), and the Interest Period with respect to any
Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by Company and notified to
Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or
Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be; PROVIDED, (i) the Term Loans
initially shall be made as Base Rate Loans until the date which is five Business
Days following the Closing Date and (ii) until the earlier of (A) the date that
Syndication Agent notifies Company that the primary syndication of the Loans and
Commitments has been completed and (B) the date that is 60 days following the
Closing Date, the Term Loans shall be maintained as either (1) Eurodollar Rate
Loans having an Interest Period of no longer than one month or (2) Base Rate
Loans. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding
Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to
Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the
applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such
Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Swing Line Loans shall be made and maintained
only as Base Rate Loans.

(c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than ten
Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Company fails to specify
between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding
Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a
Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on
the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if
outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding)
will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Company fails to specify an
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or
Conversion/Continuation Notice, Company shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final,
conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to
the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined
for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in
writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be computed (i) in the
case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case
may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day
year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during
which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the

                                -50-

<PAGE>

date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period
applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted
from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan
to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of
payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to
such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate
Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; PROVIDED, if a Loan is repaid on
the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable
in arrears on and to (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan;
(ii) any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent
accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity, including final
maturity; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base
Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest
Payment Date.

2.10. CONVERSION/CONTINUATION.

(a) Subject to Section 2.19 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and then be continuing, Company shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Loan equal to $500,000 and
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to
another Type of Loan; PROVIDED, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on
the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan
unless Company shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.19 in connection with
any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar
Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $500,000 and
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate
Loan.

(b) The Company shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative
Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in
advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Notice (in the case of a
conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of
the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a conversion to, or a
continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a
Conversion/ Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any
Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be
irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and
Company shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance
therewith.

                                -51-

<PAGE>

2.11. DEFAULT INTEREST. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any
fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other
applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in
excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the
applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate
which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder
for Base Rate Loans); PROVIDED, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the
expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in
interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become
Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate
which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder
for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest
provided for in this Section 2.11 is not a permitted alternative to timely
payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise
prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.12. FEES.

(a) Company agrees to pay to Lenders having Revolving Exposure:

(i) commitment fees equal to (1) the average of the daily difference between (a)
the Revolving Commitments, and (b) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Revolving Loans (but not Swing Line Loans) plus (y) the Letter of
Credit Usage, times (2) the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage; and

(ii) letter of credit fees equal to (1) the Applicable Margin for Revolving
Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, times (2) the average aggregate daily
maximum amount available to be drawn under all such Letters of Credit
(regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and
determined as of the close of business on any date of determination).

All fees referred to in Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(c) shall be paid to
Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and upon receipt, Administrative
Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof.

(b) Company agrees to pay directly to Issuing Bank, for its own account, the
following fees:

(i) a fronting fee in an amount equal to (1) an amount per annum (not to exceed
0.25%) as may be agreed by Company and Issuing Bank, times (2) the average
aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit
(determined as of the close of business on any date of determination); and

                                -52-

<PAGE>

(ii) such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment,
transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with Issuing
Bank's standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such
issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

(c) Company agrees to pay to Lenders having Delayed Draw Loan Exposure
commitment fees equal to the sum of (x) the daily average Delayed Draw
Commitments, times (y) the Applicable Delayed Draw Commitment Fee Percentage.

(d) All fees referred to in Section 2.12(a), 2.12(b)(i) and 2.12(c) shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed
and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 of each year during the applicable Commitment Period, commencing on
the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the applicable
Commitment Termination Date.

(e) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Company agrees to pay to Agents
such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

2.13. SCHEDULED PAYMENTS/COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS.

(a) SCHEDULED INSTALLMENTS. The principal amounts of the Term Loans shall be
repaid in consecutive quarterly installments (each, a "TERM LOAN INSTALLMENT")
in the aggregate amounts and on the dates (each, a "TERM LOAN INSTALLMENT DATE")
set forth below, commencing on September 30, 2002.

               FIRST, to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full
     extent thereof; and

                                -59-

<PAGE>

               SECOND, as between outstanding Revolving Loans, on the one hand,
     and Delayed Draw Loans and Term Loans, on the other hand, as Company may
     direct, PROVIDED Term Loans and outstanding Delayed Draw Loans are prepaid
     on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal
     amounts thereof.

          Any prepayment of any Term Loan or Delayed Draw Loan pursuant to
Section 2.14(a) shall be further applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the
scheduled remaining installments of principal.

(b) APPLICATION OF MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS BY CLASS OF LOANS.  Any amount
required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.15(a)  through 2.15(e) shall be
applied as follows:

               FIRST, to prepay Term Loans and Delayed Draw Loans on a pro rata
     basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts
     thereof);

               SECOND, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof
     and to permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such
     prepayment;

               THIRD, to pay outstanding reimbursement obligations with
     respect to drawn Letters of Credit;

               FOURTH, to prepay Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof and
     to permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such
     prepayment;

               FIFTH, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit and to further
     permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments by the amount of such
     cash collateralization; and

               SIXTH, to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments
     and any Delayed Draw Commitments on a pro rata basis (in accordance with
     the aggregate amounts thereof).

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments of Delayed Draw Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.15(g) shall be applied to reduce Delayed Draw Loans
on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal
amounts thereof).

(c) WAIVABLE MANDATORY PREPAYMENT. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, so long as any Delayed Draw Loans are outstanding, in the event
Company is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a "WAIVABLE MANDATORY
PREPAYMENT") of the Term Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the
date (the "REQUIRED PREPAYMENT DATE")on which Company is required to make such
Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Company shall notify Administrative Agent of the
amount of such prepayment, and

                                -60-

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an
outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender's option to refuse such amount.
Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Company
and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first
Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any
Lender which does not notify Company and Administrative Agent of its election to
exercise such option on or before the First Business Day prior to the Required
Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to
exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, Company shall pay to
Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which
amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable
Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise
such option, to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be
applied to the scheduled Term Loan Installments in accordance with Section
2.16(b)), and (ii) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory
Prepayment otherwise payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such
option, to prepay the Delayed Draw Loans (which prepayment shall be further
applied to the scheduled installments of principal of the Delayed Draw Loans in
Section 2.16(b)).

(d) APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS OF LOANS TO BASE RATE LOANS AND EURODOLLAR RATE
LOANS. Considering each Type of Loan being prepaid separately, any prepayment
thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof
before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which
minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to
Section 2.19(c).

2.17. GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING PAYMENTS.

(a) All payments by Company of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations
shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or
counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date
due at Administrative Agent's Principal Office for the account of Lenders; funds
received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be
deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than
voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall include payment of accrued
interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments
(and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest
is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of
interest before application to principal.

                                -61-

<PAGE>

(c) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such
address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender's applicable Pro
Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due
hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including, without
limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by
Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any
Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any
Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any
Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in
apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of "Interest Period",
whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day
that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of
the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.

(f) Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge Company's accounts
with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to
Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder
(subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(g) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Company
hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City
time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to
have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such
funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day.
Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Company and each
applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any
non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in
accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue
on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds
become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of
such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate
determined pursuant to Section 2.9 from the date such amount was due and payable
until the date such amount is paid in full.

(h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived,
and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to
Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of
any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application
arrangements described in Section 6.5 of the Pledge and Security Agreement.

2.18. RATABLE SHARING.  Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as
otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts
realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the
Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than

                                -62-

<PAGE>

a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms
hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by
counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit
Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash
collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in
respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such
Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the
"AGGREGATE AMOUNTS DUE" to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion
received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such
other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment
shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of
such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations
(which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation
simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment)
in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of
Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the
Aggregate Amounts Due to them; PROVIDED, if all or part of such proportionately
greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from
such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those
purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest. Company expressly consents to the
foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased
may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim with
respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect
thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation
held by that holder.

2.19. MAKING OR MAINTAINING EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS.

(a) INABILITY TO DETERMINE APPLICABLE INTEREST RATE. In the event that
Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final
and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), on
any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans,
that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable
to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar
Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or
by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender of such
determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to,
Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company
and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Company
with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall
be deemed to be rescinded by Company.

                                -63-

<PAGE>

(b) ILLEGALITY OR IMPRACTICABILITY OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. In the event that
on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final
and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after
consultation with Company and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining
or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result
of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental
rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty,
governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law
even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has
become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date
hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the
position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender
shall be an "AFFECTED LENDER" and it shall on that day give notice (by
telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and
Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent
shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of
the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected
Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Funding
Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such
Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a
Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender's obligation to maintain its outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loans (the "AFFECTED LOANS") shall be terminated at the earlier
to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to
the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected
Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested
by Company pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice,
Company shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.19(c), to
rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders
by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to
Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender
gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.19(b)
shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make
or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in
accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) COMPENSATION FOR BREAKAGE OR NON-COMMENCEMENT OF INTEREST PERIODS. Company
shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request
shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable
losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to
lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and
any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the
liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated
profits) which such Lender may sustain:

                                -64-

<PAGE>

(i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any
Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding
Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation
of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a
Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or
continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment or any
conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the
last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (including, without
limitation, pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof); or (iii) if any prepayment of any
of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of
prepayment given by Company.

(d) BOOKING OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS.  Any Lender may make, carry or transfer
Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch
offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) ASSUMPTIONS CONCERNING FUNDING OF EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. Calculation of all
amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.19 and under Section 2.20 shall
be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant
Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing
interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar
Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and
through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such
Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any
manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the
purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.19 and under
Section 2.20.

2.20. INCREASED COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

(a) COMPENSATION FOR INCREASED COSTS AND TAXES. Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.21, in the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing
Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(a)) shall determine (which determination
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order,
or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application
thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority,
in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such
Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date
hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority
(whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its
applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Excluded Tax)
with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of
its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its
applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount
payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds

                                -65-

<PAGE>

applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special
or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar
requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for
the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any
other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such
reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are
reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any
other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such
Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the
London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans
hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its
applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company
shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in
the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an
increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise
as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to
compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts
received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a
copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender
under this Section 2.20(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon
all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b) CAPITAL ADEQUACY ADJUSTMENT. In the event that any Lender shall have
determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the
Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding
capital adequacy, or any change therein 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 Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or
any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference
to, such Lender's Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations
therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters
of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in,
applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of
such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy),
then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Company from
such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Company shall pay
to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such
Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written
statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the
additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.20(b), which statement
shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

                                -66-

2.21. TAXES; WITHHOLDING, ETC.

(a) PAYMENTS TO BE FREE AND CLEAR. All sums payable by any Credit Party
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent
required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or
withholding on account of, any Tax (other than any Excluded Tax) imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of
America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or
any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any
Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of
America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

(b) WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by
law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid
or payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any
of the Credit Documents: (i) Company shall notify Administrative Agent of any
such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Company
becomes aware of it; (ii) Company shall pay any such Tax before the date on
which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay
is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is
imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of
and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) except with
respect to any Excluded Tax, the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of
which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be
increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that
deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have
received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made;
and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by
law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due
date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay,
Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other
affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance
thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no
additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (iii)
above except to the extent that any change after the Lender Effective Date in
any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned
therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding
or payment from that in effect at the Lender Effective Date in respect of
payments to such Lender.

(c) EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION FROM U.S. WITHHOLDING TAX. (i) Each Lender that is not
a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a "NON-US LENDER")
shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior
to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages
hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment
Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other
Lender), upon designation of a new lending office, and at such other times as
may be necessary in the determination of Company

                                -67-

<PAGE>
or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two
original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any
successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such
other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code, or regulations or
administrative pronouncements promulgated thereunder, and reasonably requested
by Company to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to
such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of
the Credit Documents; (ii) Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and that is not a person which the Company is
entitled to treat as an "exempt recipient" (as such term is defined in Section
1.6049-4(c)(ii) of the United States Treasury Regulations) without receiving a
certificate from such person (under current law, including, but not limited to
any person whose name includes the terms "Incorporated", "Inc.", "Corporation",
"Corp.", "P.C.", "insurance company", "indemnity company", "reinsurance
company", "assurance company", "bank", "savings and loan association",
"buildings and loan association", "homestead association", "credit union" or
"industrial loan association" and their permitted foreign language equivalents,
and any entity that is generally known in the investment community to be
registered at all times during the taxable year under the Investment Company Act
of 1940) (a "US Lender") shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for
transmission to the Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of
each US Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, on the Closing Date) or on
or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a
US Lender (in the case of each other US Lender), and at such other times as may
be necessary in the determination of the Company or Administrative Agent (each
in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two original copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly
executed by such US Lender, and such other documentation reasonably requested by
the Company, to establish that such US Lender is not subject to deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to
such US Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any
of the Credit Documents; or (iii) if such Lender is not a "bank" or other Person
described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver
either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i)
above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), properly completed
and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation reasonably
requested by Company or Administrative Agent to establish that such Lender is
not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with
respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the
Credit Documents. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or
other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding
matters pursuant to this Section 2.21(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after
the initial time for delivery or potential delivery by such Lender of such
forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or
inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to
Administrative Agent for transmission to

                                -68-

<PAGE>

Company two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
W-8ECI (or any successor forms), or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status (or any
successor forms) and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or
two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, as the case may be (or
any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and
such other documentation reasonably requested by Company or Administrative Agent
to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such
Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Administrative Agent and Company of
its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Company
shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any U.S. Lender or Non-US
Lender under Section 2.21(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to
deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the second
sentence of this Section 2.21(c), or (2) to notify Administrative Agent and
Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other
evidence, as the case may be; PROVIDED, if such Lender shall have satisfied the
requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.21(c) on the Closing Date
or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender,
as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.21(c) shall relieve
Company of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to Section
2.20(a) or Section 2.21(b) in the event that, as a result of any change in any
applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change
in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no
longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a
subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to
withholding as described herein. Each US Lender and Non-US Lender hereby agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any Taxes imposed on
or behalf of the United States or any taxing jurisdiction thereof, and any
interest, penalties or additions thereto, or costs incurred in connection
therewith, incurred or payable by the Company as a result of the failure of the
Company to comply with its obligations to deduct or withhold any Taxes imposed
by or on behalf of the United States or any taxing jurisdiction thereof from any
payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such US Lender, Non-US Lender or the
Administrative Agent, which failure resulted from the Company's reliance on any
form, statement, certificate or other information provided to it by such Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.21 or by reason of such Lender being a "conduit
entity" within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.881-3 (or any
applicable successor provision).

2.22. OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as
practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its
Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of
the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such
Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive
payments under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, it will, to the extent not
inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal
or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or
maintain its Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit, including any Affected
Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as
such Lender may deem reasonable,

                                -69-

<PAGE>

if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an
Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would
otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20
or 2.21 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its
sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such
Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in
accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise
adversely affect such Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests
of such Lender; PROVIDED, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such
other office pursuant to this Section 2.22 unless Company agrees to pay all
incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other
office as described in clause (a) above. A certificate as to the amount of any
such expenses payable by Company pursuant to this Section 2.22 (setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender
to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

2.23. DEFAULTING LENDERS. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, at the direction or request of
any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a "DEFAULTING LENDER") in its
obligation to fund (a "FUNDING DEFAULT") any Revolving Loan under Section
2.3(b)(iv) or any Delayed Draw Loan under Section 2.2(b)(iv) or its portion of
any unreimbursed payment under Section 2.4(e) (in each case, a "DEFAULTED
LOAN"), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting
Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender" for purposes
of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers)
with respect to any of the Credit Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such
Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment
of the Revolving Loans shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such
voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if
such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving
Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment
of the Revolving Loans shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such
mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but
not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting
Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being
understood and agreed that Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of
any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such
Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this
clause (b); (c) such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment and outstanding
Revolving Loans and such Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Letter of
Credit Usage shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Revolving
Commitment fee payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any Default
Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall
not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.11
with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment in respect of any
Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the Total
Utilization of Revolving Commitments as at any date of determination shall be
calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such
Defaulting Lender.

                                -70-

<PAGE>

No Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected,
and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.23, performance by
Company of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be
excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the
operation of this Section 2.23. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting
Lender under this Section 2.23 are in addition to other rights and remedies
which Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any
Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against
such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

2.24. REMOVAL OR REPLACEMENT OF A LENDER. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) any Lender (an "INCREASED-COST
LENDER") shall give notice to Company that such Lender is an Affected Lender or
such Lender becomes entitled to receive payments under Section 2.20 or 2.21, the
circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which
entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and such
Lender shall fail to (i) withdraw such notice or (ii) waive in writing the right
to receive the applicable payments, in each of cases (i) and (ii), within five
Business Days after Company's request for such withdrawal or waiver; or (b) any
Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, the Default Period for such Defaulting
Lender shall remain in effect, and such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the
default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five
Business Days after Company's request that it cure such default; or (c) in
connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or
consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section
10.5(b), the consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the
consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a "NON-CONSENTING LENDER")
whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to
each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the
"TERMINATED LENDER"), Company may, by giving written notice to Administrative
Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such
Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to
assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to
one or more Eligible Assignees (each a "REPLACEMENT LENDER") in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10.6 and Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable
thereunder in connection with such assignment; PROVIDED, (1) on the date of such
assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount
equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued
interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal
to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender,
together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C)
an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such
Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.12; (2) on the date of such assignment,
Company shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to
Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment; and (3) in
the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement
Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect
of which

                                -71-

<PAGE>

such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; PROVIDED, Company may not
make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing
Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Company shall have
caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled. Upon
the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination
of such Terminated Lender's Revolving Commitments, if any, such Terminated
Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender" for purposes hereof; PROVIDED, any
rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as
to such Terminated Lender.

Percentage),

(i) with respect to any period during which a Permitted Acquisition or an Asset
Sale has occurred (each, a "SUBJECT TRANSACTION"), each of Consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA, the components of Consolidated Cash Interest Expense and Additional Net
Sales shall be calculated with respect to such period on a pro forma basis
(including only Permitted Adjustments) using the historical audited financial

repaid at the beginning of such period (and assuming that such Indebtedness
bears interest during any

                                      -106-
<PAGE>
portion of the applicable measurement period prior to the relevant acquisition
at the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to outstanding Loans
incurred during such period);

(ii) with respect to any period during which the proceeds of any capital
contribution to, or issuance of Capital Stock of, Holdings ("EQUITY PROCEEDS")
have been applied to make mandatory or voluntary prepayments of Loans, the

Expense shall be calculated with respect to such period on a pro forma basis

expected to have a continuing impact, in each case determined on a basis
consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities
Act and as interpreted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
which pro forma adjustments shall be certified by the Chief Financial Officer of
Holdings) using historical financial statements which shall be reformulated

such Equity Proceeds had been received, and applicable portion of the Loans
prepaid, at the beginning of such period; and

(iii) with respect to any period including the Fiscal Quarter ended September

or more of any class of Capital Stock of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or

SECTION 7. GUARANTY

7.1. GUARANTY OF THE OBLIGATIONS. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2,
Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantee to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries
the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall
become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration,
acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but
for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a)) (collectively, the "GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS").
Without limiting the obligations of Holdings under this Section 7, Holdings
shall become a co- obligor under the Notes, on a joint and several basis with
Company, and execute the Notes in such capacity.

7.2. CONTRIBUTION BY GUARANTORS. All Guarantors desire to allocate among
themselves (collectively, the "CONTRIBUTING GUARANTORS"), in a fair and
equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in
the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a
"FUNDING GUARANTOR") under this Guaranty that exceeds its Fair Share as of such
date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of
the other Contributing Guarantors in the amount of such other Contributing
Guarantor's Fair Share Shortfall as of such date, with the result that all such
contributions will cause each Contributing Guarantor's Aggregate Payments to
equal its Fair Share as of such date. "FAIR SHARE" means, with respect to a
Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a)
the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such
Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution
Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the
aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding
Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. "FAIR
SHARE SHORTFALL" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date
of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Contributing
Guarantor over the Aggregate Payments of such Contributing Guarantor. "FAIR
SHARE CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of
any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of
such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its
obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to

                                      -111-
<PAGE>
avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11
of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law;
PROVIDED, solely for purposes of calculating the "FAIR SHARE CONTRIBUTION
AMOUNT" with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section
7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue
of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to
or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or
liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. "AGGREGATE PAYMENTS" means, with
respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount
equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or
before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty
(including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the
aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such
Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions
under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be
determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made
by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing
Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be
construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor
hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution
agreement set forth in this Section 7.2.

7.3. PAYMENT BY GUARANTORS. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly
and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of
any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any
Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Company to pay any of the
Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated
maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise
(including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic
stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a)),
Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, in same day
funds, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an
amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed
Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such
Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Company's becoming the
subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such
Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company for
such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed
Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

7.4. LIABILITY OF GUARANTORS ABSOLUTE. Each Guarantor agrees that its
obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or
equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations or the release of such Guarantor permitted by the Credit
Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality
thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

                                      -112-
<PAGE>
(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability.
This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a
contract of surety;

(b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Company
and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the
obligations of Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any
other Guarantor) of the obligations of Company, and a separate action or actions
may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action
is brought against Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not
Company is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor's
liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is
awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor's covenant to
pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed
to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not,
except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or
abridge any other Guarantor's liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or
demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving
rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any

the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or
the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute,

without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations,
any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of
any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for
the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations

remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as
such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the

Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on
any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether
or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though
such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or
subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Company or any
security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights
available to it under the Credit Documents or the Financial Hedge Agreements;
and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and
enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment,
discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following,
whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them:
(i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to
assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of
law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any

7.5. WAIVERS BY GUARANTORS. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of
Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of
payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company, any
other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from
Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or
have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any
Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other
remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by
reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense
of Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out
of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of
the liability of Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any
statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be
neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the
principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary's errors or omissions in
the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts
to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or
otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal
or equitable discharge of such Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (ii) the
benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor's liability
hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments
and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any
Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or
any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests,
notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction,
including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Financial Hedge
Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any
renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Company and
notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to
consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived
from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or
sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

7.6. GUARANTORS' RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION, CONTRIBUTION, ETC. Until the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving
Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired
or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy,
direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against
Company or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this
Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in
each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract,
by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a)
any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor
now has or may hereafter have against Company with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or
remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Company, and
(c)

                                      -115-
<PAGE>
any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now
or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving
Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired
or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of
contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any
other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation,
any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor
further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the
exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and
contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement
or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Company or against any
collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have
against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights
any Beneficiary may have against Company, to all right, title and interest any
Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any
Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid
to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed
Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such
amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of
Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the
benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7. SUBORDINATION OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Any Indebtedness of Company or any
Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the "OBLIGEE GUARANTOR") is
hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any
such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for
Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over
to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and
applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or
limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other
provision hereof.

7.8. CONTINUING GUARANTY. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall
remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in
full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise
to any Guaranteed Obligations.

7.9. AUTHORITY OF GUARANTORS OR COMPANY. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary
to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Company or the
officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any
of them.

7.10. FINANCIAL CONDITION OF COMPANY. Any Credit Extension may be made to
Company or continued from time to time, and any Financial Hedge Agreements

                                      -116-
<PAGE>
may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or
authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition
of Company at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such
Financial Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary
shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its
assessment, or any Guarantor's assessment, of the financial condition of
Company. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Company on
a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Company and its ability
to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Financial Hedge
Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping
informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing
upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby
waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any
matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of
Company now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

7.11. BANKRUPTCY, ETC. (a) Without limiting any Guarantor's ability to file a
voluntary bankruptcy petition in respect of itself, so long as any Guaranteed
Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written
consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite
Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Company or any
other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced,
limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or
proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company or any other
Guarantor or by any defense which Company or any other Guarantor may have by
reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body
resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of
the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or
proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of
the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the
commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on
such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not
been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is
the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations
which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without
regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Company of any portion of
such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar
person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent
in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or
proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid
by Company, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and

                                      -117-
<PAGE>
remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the
event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered
directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer
or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall
constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

7.12. DISCHARGE OF GUARANTY UPON SALE OF GUARANTOR. If all of the Capital Stock
of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or
otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in a transaction
consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of
such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder
shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any
Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such disposition.

such action on such Lender's behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and
remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically

or therein.

9.3. GENERAL IMMUNITY.

(a) NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR CERTAIN MATTERS. No Agent shall have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent be
subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or
sufficiency hereof or any other Credit Document or for any representations,
warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written

or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders
or by or on behalf of any Credit Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection
with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the

outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts
thereof.

directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken
or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents
except to the extent caused by such Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking
of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith
or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power,
discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until
such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite
Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions
under Section 10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite
Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be
entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise
such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Any
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or sent by the proper Person. Any Agent also may rely upon any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Any Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Company), independent accountants and
other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.

9.4. AGENTS ENTITLED TO ACT AS LENDER. The agency hereby created shall in no way
impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or
obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder.
With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, each
Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and
may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions
delegated to it hereunder, and the term "Lender" shall, unless the context
clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any
Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities
of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or
other business with Holdings or any of its Affiliates as if it were not
performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other
consideration from Company for services in connection herewith and otherwise
without having to account for the same to Lenders.

9.5. LENDERS' REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made
and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness

                                      -123-
<PAGE>
of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such
investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming
into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times
thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the
accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

(B) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding
its Term Loan, Delayed Draw Loan and/or a Revolving Loan on the Closing Date,
shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved,
each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any
Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

9.6. RIGHT TO INDEMNITY. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share,
severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall
not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of
any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing
its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its
capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out hereof or the other
Credit Documents; PROVIDED, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose
shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such
Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the
acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; PROVIDED,
in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent
against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment,
suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender's Pro Rata Share
thereof; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any
Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage,
penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the
proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

9.7. SUB-AGENTS. Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such
Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates. The
exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such
sub-agent and to the Affiliates of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent.

9.8. SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, COLLATERAL AGENT AND SWING LINE LENDER.

(a) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT. Each of Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice
thereof to Lenders and Company, and each of Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or
concurrent instruments in writing delivered to Company and Administrative Agent
or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and signed by Requisite Lenders. Upon any
such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the
right, upon five Business Days' notice to Company, to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent with Company's consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
or such successor is a Lender, in each of which cases Company's consent need not
be obtained. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent, that successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall promptly (i)
transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, Securities and other
items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all
records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the
performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent under the Credit Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent such amendments to financing
statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in
connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral
Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
retiring or removed Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's resignation or
removal hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the provisions of
this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was Agent hereunder.

(b) SWING LINE LENDER. Swing Line Lender may be replaced at any time by written
agreement among Company, Administrative Agent, the replaced Swing Line Lender
and the successor Swing Line Lender. Administrative Agent shall notify the
Lenders of any such replacement of Swing Line Lender. At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, (i) Company shall prepay any outstanding
Swing Line Loans made by the retiring or removed Swing Line Lender, (ii) upon
such prepayment, the retiring or removed Swing Line Lender shall surrender any
Swing Line Note held by it to Company for cancellation, and (iii) Company shall
issue, if so requested by successor Swing Line Loan Lender, a new Swing Line
Note to the successor Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the Swing
Line Loan Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.

9.9. COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS AND GUARANTY.

(a) AGENTS UNDER COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS AND GUARANTY. Each Lender hereby further
authorizes Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of
and for the benefit of Lenders, to be the agent for and representative of
Lenders with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral
Documents. Subject to Section 10.5, without further written consent or
authorization from Lenders, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
applicable may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any

other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have
otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to
Section 7.12 or with respect to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders
as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise
consented.

(b) RIGHT TO REALIZE ON COLLATERAL AND ENFORCE GUARANTY. Anything contained in
any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Company,
Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have
any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the
Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies
hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders
in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under
the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, and (ii)
in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral
pursuant to a public or private sale, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the
purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Collateral
Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or
Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite
Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of
bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any
portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of
the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral
payable by Collateral Agent at such sale.

connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (g) all
other out-of-pocket actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each
Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments and the

Default, (i) all costs and expenses of inspections and visits by any Agent or

due from any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by

sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the
enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any refinancing or
restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a
"work-out" or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

10.3 INDEMNITY.

(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.2, whether or
not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Credit Party
agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees' selection of counsel), indemnify, pay
and hold harmless, each Agent and Lender and the officers, partners, directors,
trustees, employees, agents and Affiliates of each Agent and each Lender (each,
an "INDEMNITEE"), from and

                                      -127-
<PAGE>
against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; PROVIDED, no Credit Party shall
have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, no
Credit Party shall have any obligation to Issuing Bank in the event of the
wrongful dishonor by Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any
Letter of Credit issued by it (it being understood that no dishonor as a result
of a Governmental Act shall constitute a wrongful dishonor). To the extent that
the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this
Section 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative
of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the
maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to
the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by
Indemnitees or any of them. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit
Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on
any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument or
transaction contemplated hereby.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against
any Lender or any of their Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or
agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the
claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable
legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a
result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or
any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Holdings and
Company hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any
such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to
exist in its favor.

10.4. SET-OFF. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each
Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of
Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than
Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special,
including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or
unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any
time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any
Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any
Credit Party to such Lender hereunder, under the Letters of Credit and
participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all
claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected herewith or
therewith, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any
demand hereunder or (b) the principal

                                      -128-
<PAGE>
of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of
Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable
pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of
them, may be contingent or unmatured. Each Credit Party hereby further grants to
Administrative Agent and each Lender a security interest in all Deposit Accounts
maintained with Administrative Agent or such Lender as security for the
Obligations.

10.5. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.

(a) REQUISITE LENDERS' CONSENT. Subject to Section 10.5(b) and 10.5(c), no
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit
Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in
any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders.

provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit
Party therefrom, shall:

(i) increase any Revolving or Delayed Draw Commitment of any Lender over the
amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; PROVIDED, no
amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default

Swing Line Sublimit or the Swing Line Loans without the consent of Swing Line

the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loans, the Revolving
Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the Closing Date;

<PAGE>
(d) EXECUTION OF AMENDMENTS, ETC. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no
obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments,
modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in
any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination,
waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding
upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a
Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

10.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTICIPATIONS.

(a) GENERALLY. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party's rights or
obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by
any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of
each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the
corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and
no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in
each case, unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or
transfer thereof shall have been delivered to and accepted by Administrative
Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.6(d). Prior to such
recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan
shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any
request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a
Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or
transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.

(c) RIGHT TO ASSIGN. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell,
assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or
Loans owing to it or other Obligation to any Eligible Assignee upon the giving
of notice to Company and Administrative Agent, PROVIDED

(i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of
all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan and any related
Commitments and shall not, without Company's consent, result in payment to

                                      -131-
<PAGE>
such assignee under Sections 2.19(c), 2.20 and 2.21 that would not have been
made to the assigning Lender; and

(ii) any assignment to a Person that does not meet the requirements of clause
(i) of the definition of the term "Eligible Assignee" shall require the prior
written consent of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Company, in each case not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

(d) MECHANICS. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and
deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with such
forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States
federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment
Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
2.20(c). Any assignment to a Person that does not meet the requirements of
clause (i) of the definition of the term "Eligible Assignee," shall be in an
aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be
agreed by Company and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate
amount of a Class of Loans or Commitments of the assigning Lender).

(e) NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT. Upon its receipt of a duly executed and completed
Assignment Agreement, (and any forms, certificates or other evidence required by
this Agreement in connection therewith), Administrative Agent shall record the
information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give
prompt notice thereof to Company and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment
Agreement.

(f) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ASSIGNEE. Each Lender, upon execution and
delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the
case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the
applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement)
that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the
making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable
Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in,
as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary
course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or
Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other
federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of
this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests
therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(g) EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
10.6, as of the "Effective Date" specified in the applicable Assignment
Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of
a "Lender" hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter
be a party hereto and a "Lender"

                                      -132-
<PAGE>
for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant
to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which
survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its
obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all
or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations
hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto); PROVIDED, anything
contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (A)
Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with
respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such
Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (B)
such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all
indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of
the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder; (iii) the
Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any
Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such
assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender
shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as
practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for
cancellation, and thereupon Company shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so
requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to
such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving
Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning
Lender.

(h) PARTICIPATIONS. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell,
without notice to, or consent of the Company and Administrative Agent one or
more participations to any Person (other than Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries
or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any
other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate
of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such
Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any
amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled
maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is
not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such
participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment
of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability
of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount
thereof, or increase the amount of the participant's participation over the
amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default
or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not
constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in
any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant
if the participant's participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii)
consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all
of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided
in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such
participant is participating. The Company agrees that each participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19(c), 2.20 and 2.21 to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its

                                      -133-
<PAGE>
interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; PROVIDED, (i)
a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.20 or 2.21 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 Company's prior written consent
and (ii) a participant that would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender or
would be a US Lender that is not willing or able to execute a valid Form W-9
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.21 unless Company is notified
of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for
the benefit of Company, to comply with Section 2.21 as though it were a Lender.
To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender.

(i) CERTAIN OTHER ASSIGNMENTS. In addition to any other assignment permitted
pursuant to this Section 10.6, (i) any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or
any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and
its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without
limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to
Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any
operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; PROVIDED, no Lender, as
between Company and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations
hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and PROVIDED, FURTHER,
in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank or trustee be considered
to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit
to take any action hereunder.

10.7. INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception
to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not
avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken
or condition exists.

10.8. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS. All
representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the
execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension.
Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the
agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.19(c), 2.20, 2.21, 10.2,
10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17 and 9.6
shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the
Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the
termination hereof.

10.9. NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay on the part of any
Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege
or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other

                                      -134-
<PAGE>
power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent
and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and
independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute
or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Financial
Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in
exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such
right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it
preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

10.10. MARSHALLING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall
be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or
any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To
the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative
Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or
Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their
rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state
or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such
recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied,
and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not
been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.11. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any
Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.12. OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL; INDEPENDENT NATURE OF LENDERS' RIGHTS. The
obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible
for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing
contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The
amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and
independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its
rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.13 HEADINGS. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or
be given any substantive effect.

10.14 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE

PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR

COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING
AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION
WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF
FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN
RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C)
ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT
PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES
EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES AGENTS AND
LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW
OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

10.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE
ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON
OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS
BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE

IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN

INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED
ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO

<PAGE>
AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT
IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION
WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE
MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER
SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,
SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO
ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL
BY THE COURT.

10.17. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each Lender shall hold all non-public information
regarding Holdings and Company and their business identified as such by Company
and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance
with such Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential information of
such nature, it being understood and agreed by Holdings and Company that, in any
event, a Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of
such Lender and to their agents and advisors (and to other persons authorized by
a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in
connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section
10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona
fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the
contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans
or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual
counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in Financial Hedge
Agreements (PROVIDED, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties
and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it,
PROVIDED, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing
to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the
Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, and (iv)
required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by
the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; PROVIDED, unless specifically
prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall make reasonable
efforts to notify Company of any request by any governmental agency or
representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any
examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such
Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public
information prior to disclosure of such information.

10.18. USURY SAVINGS CLAUSE. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the
aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations,
including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of
interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the
rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding

                                      -137-
<PAGE>
sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the
outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the
Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the
amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of
interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In
addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest
due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than
the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated
rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect,
then to the extent permitted by law, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent
an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the
amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at
all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of
Lenders and Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.
Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration
which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such
excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such
Lender's option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder
or be refunded to Company.

10.19. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.

10.20 EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of
a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Company and
Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and
authorization of delivery thereof.

                                                                [Draft: 7/10/01]

                                    EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated as of August 14,
                                    2000, between BERRY PLASTICS CORPORATION, a
                                    Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"),
                                    and WILLIAM J. HERDRICH (the "Employee").

                  The Employee is an employee of the Corporation and as such has
substantial experience that has value to the Corporation. The Corporation
desires to employ the Employee, and the Employee desires to accept such
employment, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the
mutual covenants and obligations hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

                  1. EMPLOYMENT; EFFECTIVENESS OF AGREEMENT. Effective as of the
date hereof (such date, the "Commencement Date," for all purposes hereof), the
Corporation shall employ the Employee, and the Employee shall accept employment
by the Corporation, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  2. TERMINATION OF PRIOR CONSULTING AGREEMENT. Reference is
made to that certain Consulting and Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of May
9, 2000 between the Employee and the Corporation (the "Consulting Agreement"),
wherein the Employee agreed to provide consulting services to the Corporation
and to abide by certain non-competition covenants. The parties hereby
acknowledge and agree that this Agreement supercedes the Consulting Agreement
and that effective on the Commencement Date, the Consulting Agreement shall be
terminated and the Consulting Agreement shall be of no further force and effect
and neither the Employee nor the Corporation shall have any further rights or
obligations under the Consulting Agreement; provided, however, that pursuant to
Section 7 of the Consulting Agreement, the Corporation shall continue to pay any
remaining amounts due to the Executive pursuant to Section 6(d) therein, payable
in accordance with the terms thereof.

                  3. TERM. Subject to earlier termination as provided herein,
the employment of the Employee hereunder shall commence on the Commencement Date
and terminate on December 31, 2003. Such period of employment is hereinafter
referred to as the "Employment Period."

                  4. DUTIES. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be
employed by the Corporation as Executive Vice President and General Manager -
Closures and shall perform such duties and services consistent with such
position as may reasonably be assigned to the Employee by the officers of the
Corporation or their designees.

                  5. TIME TO BE DEVOTED TO EMPLOYMENT. Except for vacation,
absences due to temporary illness and absences resulting from causes set forth
in Section 7, the Employee shall devote the Employee's business time, attention
and energies on a full-time basis to the performance of the duties and
responsibilities referred to in Section 4. The Employee shall not during the
Employment Period be engaged in any other business activity which, in the
reasonable judgment of the officers of the Corporation, would conflict with the
ability of the
<PAGE>
Employee to perform his or her duties under this Agreement, whether or not such
activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage.

         6. COMPENSATION; BENEFITS; REIMBURSEMENT.

            (a) BASE SALARY. During the Employment Period, the Corporation shall
pay to the Employee a minimum annual base salary of $250,000, which shall be
subject to review and, at the option of persons having authority regarding such
matters at the Corporation, subject to increase, beginning February 2002 (such
salary, as the same may be increased from time to time as aforesaid, being
referred to herein as the "Base Salary"). The Base Salary shall be payable in
such installments (but not less frequent than monthly) as is the policy of the
Corporation with respect to employees of the Corporation at substantially the
same level of employment as the Employee.

            (b) BONUS. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be
entitled to participate in all bonus and incentive programs of the Corporation
(the "Programs") generally available from time to time to employees of the
Corporation at substantially the same level of employment as the Employee, such
participation to be in substantially the same manner as the participation
therein by such employees. The foregoing notwithstanding, Executive shall
receive a cash bonus equal to $62,500 for the 2000 fiscal year ending December
31, 2000 and a cash bonus equal to $150,000 for the 2001 fiscal year ending
December 31, 2001, payable at the same time and in the same manner as bonuses
are paid to other employees of the Corporation, provided, however, that payment
of each of the aforementioned cash bonuses is contingent upon Executive's
continued employment with the Corporation, on each of the payment dates.

            (c) BENEFITS. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be
entitled to such benefits (together with the Programs, the "Benefit
Arrangements") as are generally made available from time to time to other
employees of the Corporation at substantially the same level of employment as
the Employee. In addition, the Employee shall be entitled to (i) two weeks of
vacation for the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on
December 31, 2000, provided, however, that the Employee shall not be entitled to
carry-over any such unused vacation to the 2001 fiscal year, and (ii) four weeks
of vacation per year, commencing on January 1, 2001.

            (d) REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. During the Employment Period, the
Corporation shall reimburse the Employee, in accordance with the policies and
practices of the Corporation in effect from time to time with respect to other
employees of the Corporation at substantially the same level of employment as
the Employee, for all reasonable and necessary traveling expenses and other
disbursements incurred by him for or on behalf of the Corporation in connection
with the performance of his duties hereunder upon presentation by the Employee
to the Corporation of appropriate documentation therefor.

            (e) DEDUCTIONS. The Corporation shall deduct from any payments to be
made by it to the Employee under this Section 6 or Section 9 any amounts
required to be withheld in respect of any Federal, state or local income or
other taxes.

                                      -2-

         7. DISABILITY OR DEATH OF THE EMPLOYEE.

            (a) If, during the Employment Period, the Employee is incapacitated
or disabled by accident, sickness or otherwise (hereinafter, a "Disability") so
as to render the Employee mentally or physically incapable of performing the
services required to be performed under this Agreement for 90 days in any period
of 360 consecutive days, the Corporation may, at any time thereafter, at its
option, terminate the employment of the Employee under this Agreement
immediately upon giving the Employee notice to that effect, it being understood
that upon such termination the Employee shall be eligible for the disability
benefits provided by the Corporation.

            (b) If the Employee dies during the Employment Period, the
Termination Date (as defined below) shall be deemed to be the date of the
Employee's death.

         8. TERMINATION.

            (a) The Corporation may terminate the employment of the Employee and
all of the Corporation's obligations under this Agreement (except as hereinafter
provided) at any time for "cause" by giving the Employee notice of such
termination, with reasonable specificity of the grounds therefor. For the
purposes of this Section 8, "cause" shall mean (i) willful misconduct with
respect to the business and affairs of the Corporation or any subsidiary or
affiliate thereof, insubordination or willful neglect of duties (other than
neglect due solely to the Employee's illness or other involuntary mental or
physical disability), including the Employee's violation of any material
Corporation policy, (ii) material breach of any of the provisions of this
Agreement or (iii) conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude or fraud. A
termination pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall take effect immediately upon the
giving of the notice contemplated hereby.

            (b) The Corporation may terminate the employment of the Employee and
all of the Corporation's obligations under this Agreement (except as hereinafter
provided) at any time during the Employment Period without "cause" by giving the
Employee written notice of such termination, to be effective 30 days following
the giving of such written notice.

            (c) The Employee may terminate the employment of the Employee
hereunder at any time during the Employment Period by giving the Corporation at
least 30 days' prior written notice of such termination, such termination to be
effective on the date specified in such notice, whereupon all of the
Corporation's obligations hereunder shall terminate (except as hereinafter
provided). For convenience of reference, the date upon which any termination of
the employment of the Employee pursuant to Section 7 or 8 hereof shall be
effective shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Termination Date."

         9. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

            (a) Upon the effective date of termination of the Employee's
employment pursuant to Section 7, Section 8(a) or Section 8(c) hereof, neither
the Employee nor the Employee's beneficiaries or estate shall have any further
rights under this Agreement or any claims against the Corporation arising out of
this Agreement, except the right to receive, within 30 days of the Termination
Date:

                                      -3-

                  (i) the unpaid portion of the Base Salary provided for in
         Section 6(a), computed on a pro rata basis to the Termination Date;

                  (ii) in the event the Employee's termination is pursuant to
         Section 7, the applicable bonus provided for in Section 6(b) computed
         on a pro-rata basis to the Termination Date, payable at the same time
         and in the same manner only as, if and when bonuses are paid to other
         employees of the Corporation of comparable seniority;

                  (iii) reimbursement for any expenses for which the Employee
         shall not have theretofore been reimbursed, as provided in Section
         6(d);

                  (iv) the unpaid portion of any amounts earned by the Employee
         prior to the Termination Date pursuant to any Benefit Arrangement;
         provided, however, unless specifically provided otherwise in this
         Section 9, the Employee shall not be entitled to receive any benefits
         under a Benefit Arrangement that have accrued during a fiscal year if
         the terms of such Benefit Arrangement require that the beneficiary be
         employed by the Corporation as of the end of such fiscal year; and

                  (v) any remaining amounts due to the Employee pursuant to
         Section 2 hereof (as provided in Section 6(d) of the Consulting
         Agreement) payable in accordance with the terms of the Consulting
         Agreement.

         (b) Upon the termination of the Employee's employment pursuant to
Section 8(b) or upon the termination of Employee's employment by the Corporation
as a result of the expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3, neither
the Employee nor the Employee's beneficiaries or estate shall have any further
rights under this Agreement or any claims against the Corporation arising out of
this Agreement, except the right to receive:

                  (i) the unpaid portion of the Base Salary provided for in
         Section 6(a), computed on a pro rata basis to the Termination Date plus
         continuation of Base Salary, for the period from the Termination Date
         until the first anniversary of the Termination Date, payable in such
         installments as the Base Salary was paid prior to the Termination Date;

                  (ii) the applicable bonus provided for in Section 6(b)
         computed on a pro-rata basis to the Termination Date, payable at the
         same time and in the same manner only as, if and when bonuses are paid
         to other employees of the Corporation of comparable seniority; and

                  (iii) the payments, if any, referred to in Sections 9(a)(iii),
         (iv) and (v).

         (c) The Employee's obligations under Sections 10, 11 and 12 of this
Agreement, and the Corporation's obligations under this Section 9, shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Employee's
employment hereunder.

<PAGE>
         10. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.

            (a) From and after the date hereof, the Employee shall not use or
disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other business entity (other than
any officer, director, employee, affiliate or representative of the
Corporation), except as required in connection with the performance of the
Employee's duties under and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and
as required by law or judicial process, any Confidential Information (as
hereinafter defined) for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall the
Employee make use of any of the Confidential Information for the Employee's
purposes or for the benefit of any person or entity except the Corporation or
any subsidiary thereof.

            (b) For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall
mean (i) the Intellectual Property Rights (as hereinafter defined) of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries and (ii) all other information of a proprietary
nature relating to the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, or the business or
assets of the Corporation or any such subsidiary, including, without limitation,
books, records, customer and registered user lists, vendor lists, supplier
lists, distribution channels, pricing information, cost information, marketing
plans, strategies, forecasts, financial statements, budgets and projections,
other than information which is generally within the public domain at the time
of the receipt thereof by the Employee or at the time of use or disclosure of
such Confidential Information by the Employee other than as a result of the
breach by the Employee of the Employee's agreement hereunder.

            (c) As used herein, the term "Intellectual Property Rights" means
all industrial and intellectual property rights, including, without limitation,
patents, patent applications, patent rights, trademarks, trademark applications,
trade names, service marks, service mark applications, copyrights, copyright
applications, know-how, certificates of public convenience and necessity,
franchises, licenses, trade secrets, proprietary processes and formulae,
inventions, development tools, marketing materials, trade dress, logos and
designs and all documentation and media constituting, describing or relating to
the above, including, without limitation, manuals, memoranda and records.

         11. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

            (a) The Employee acknowledges and recognizes that during the
Employment Period he will be privy to Confidential Information and further
acknowledges and recognizes that the Corporation would find it extremely
difficult to replace the Employee. Accordingly, in consideration of the premises
contained herein and the consideration to be received by the Employee hereunder
(including, without limitation, the severance compensation described in Section
9(b)(i), if any), without the prior written consent of the Corporation, the
Employee shall not, at any time during the employer/employee relationship
between the Corporation and the Employee and until the later to occur of May 9,
2002 or the first anniversary of the termination of such employer/employee
relationship, (i) directly or indirectly engage in, represent in any way, or be
connected with, any Competing Business directly competing with the business of
the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate thereof within
the state in which the Employee is employed or any other state of the United
States, whether such engagement shall be as an officer, director, owner,
employee, partner, affiliate or other participant in any Competing Business (as
hereinafter defined), (ii) assist others in engaging in

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
any Competing Business in the manner described in clause (i) above, (iii) induce
other employees of the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary or
affiliate thereof to terminate their employment with the Corporation or any such
direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate or to engage in any Competing
Business or (iv) induce any entity or person with which the Corporation or any
direct or indirect subsidiary or any affiliate thereof has a business
relationship to terminate or alter such business relationship. As used herein,
"Competing Business" shall mean any business involving the sale of products in
any city or county in any state of the United States, or in any country or
province outside the United States if such business or the products sold by it
are competitive, directly or indirectly, at the time of the Termination of
Employment with (A) the business of the Corporation or any direct or indirect
subsidiary thereof, (B) any of the products manufactured, sold or distributed by
the Corporation or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof or (C) any products
or business being developed or conducted by the Corporation or any direct or
indirect subsidiary thereof.

            (b) The Employee understands that the foregoing restrictions may
limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of
the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, but he nevertheless
believes that he has received and will receive sufficient consideration and
other benefits as an employee of the Corporation and as otherwise provided
hereunder to justify clearly such restrictions which, in any event (given his
education, skills and ability), the Employee does not believe would prevent him
from earning a living.

         12. RIGHT TO INVENTIONS. The Employee shall promptly disclose, grant
and assign to the Corporation for its sole use and benefit any and all
inventions, improvements, technical information and suggestions reasonably
relating to the business of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate
thereof (collectively, the "Inventions") which the Employee may develop or
acquire during the period of the employer/employee relationship between the
Corporation and the Employee (whether or not during usual working hours),
together with all patent applications, letters patent, copyrights and reissues
thereof that may at any time be granted for or upon the Inventions. In
connection therewith:

                  (a) the Employee recognizes and agrees that the Inventions
         shall be the sole property of the Corporation, and the Corporation
         shall be the sole owner of all patent applications, letters patent,
         copyrights and reissues thereof that may at any time be granted for or
         on the Inventions;

                  (b) the Employee hereby assigns to the Corporation any rights
         the Employee may have in or acquire to the Inventions;

                  (c) the Employee shall, at the expense of the Corporation,
         promptly execute and deliver such applications, assignments,
         descriptions and other instruments as may be necessary or proper in the
         opinion of the Corporation to vest title to the Inventions and any
         patent applications, patents, copyrights, reissues or other proprietary
         rights related thereto in the Corporation and to enable it to obtain
         and maintain the entire right and title thereto throughout the world;

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
                  (d) the Employee recognizes and agrees that the Inventions to
         the extent copyrightable shall constitute works for hire under the
         copyright laws of the United States; and

                  (e) the Employee shall render to the Corporation, at its
         expense, all such assistance as it may require in the prosecution of
         applications for said patents, copyrights, reissues or other
         proprietary rights, in the prosecution or defense of interferences
         which may be declared involving any said applications, patents,
         copyrights or other proprietary rights and in any litigation in which
         the Corporation may be involved relating to the Inventions.

         13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

            (a) ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement and the other
agreements referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the parties
hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede all
prior agreements or understandings between the parties with respect thereto.
This Agreement shall not be altered or otherwise amended except pursuant to an
