     (a) Generally. Except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein, all
accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be
construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios
and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this
Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent

requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in

and agree that all calculations of the financial covenants in Section 8.11
(including for purposes of determining the Applicable Rate) shall be made on a
Pro Forma Basis.

1.04 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

     (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rates as of each
Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit
Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such
Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the

until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial
statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial
covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable
amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents
shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative
Agent.

     (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion,
continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, an amount, such as a
required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such
Borrowings, Eurocurrency Rate Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency,
such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar
amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a
unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent.

     (a) Each obligation of the Borrower to make a payment denominated in the
national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the
Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into
Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If,
in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of
interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be
inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for
the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis
shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on
which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if

prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such
Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

     (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable
changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time
specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member
state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices
relating to the Euro.

     (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such
reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to
time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other
country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change
in currency.

1.06 Rounding.

this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the

the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

<PAGE>

1.07 Times of Day.

     Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be

time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect
at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that,
by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for
one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter
of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum
stated amount is in effect at such time.

                                   ARTICLE II

                      THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01 Revolving Loans.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally
agrees to make loans (each such loan, a "Revolving Loan") to the Borrower in
Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies from time to time on any
Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed
at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment;
provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans,
(i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any
Lender, plus such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
all L/C Obligations plus such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender's Revolving
Commitment and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated
in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit.
Within the limits of each Lender's Revolving Commitment, and subject to the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section
2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving
Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided
herein, provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Closing Date shall be made
as Base Rate Loans.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

     (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other,
and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (ii) four Business Days prior to the
requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (iii) on the requested date of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion
to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in

<PAGE>

excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.05(c), each
Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice
(whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is
requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a
Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or
continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are
to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto and (vi) the currency of the Loans to be borrowed. If the
Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing,
then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Borrower fails to
specify a Type of a Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a
timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans
shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that in
the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Loans denominated in
an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any such
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of
the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency
Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify
an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of
one month. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a
different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such
Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

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

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be
requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether in
Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required
Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that (i) any or all of the then
outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars be converted
immediately to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any or all of the then outstanding
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or
redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on
the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

<PAGE>

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency
Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate
Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and
the Lenders of any change in Bank of America's prime rate used in determining
the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

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

     (f) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, upon prior written
notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments (but not the Letter of Credit Sublimit and Alternative
Currency Sublimit) by up to $50,000,000 with additional Commitments from any
existing Lender or new Commitments from any other Person selected by the
Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that:

          (i) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of
     $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and
     the Borrower may make a maximum of three requests;

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

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

          (iv) (A) any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such
     joinder documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and/or
     (B) any existing Lender electing to increase its Commitment shall have
     executed a commitment agreement satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
     and

          (v) as a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall
     deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the date of
     such increase signed by a Responsible Officer of each Loan Party (A)
     certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party
     approving or consenting to such increase or the resultant increased amount,
     and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase,
     (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the
     other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and
     as of the date of such increase, except to the extent that such
     representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in
     which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such
     earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.02(f), the
     representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of
     Section 6.03 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements
     furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 7.01,
     and (2) no Default or Event of Default exists.

2.03 Letters of Credit.

     (a)  The Letter of Credit Commitment.

          (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C
     Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in

<PAGE>

     on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the
     Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars for
     the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and to amend or
     extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with
     subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of
     Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of
     Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any
     drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit
     Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving
     Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the
     aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus
     such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
     Obligations plus such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
     Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender's Revolving
     Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not
     exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the
     issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a
     representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested
     complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding
     sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and
     conditions hereof, the Borrower's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall
     be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing
     period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have
     expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

          (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

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

          (iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any
     Letter of Credit if:

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

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

               (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and
          the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount
          less than $250,000;

               (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency
          other than Dollars; or

<PAGE>

               (E) a default of any Lender's obligations to fund under Section
          2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender
          hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory
          arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C
          Issuer's risk with respect to such Lender.

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

          (v) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to
     any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith,
     and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A)
     provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts
     taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of
     Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents
     pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term
     "Administrative Agent" as used in Article X included the L/C Issuer with
     respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein
     with respect to the L/C Issuer.

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

          (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may
     be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a
     copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
     Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of
     the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C
     Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least five
     (5) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent
     and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole
     discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as
     the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a
     Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form
     and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date
     of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the
     amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of
     the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such
     beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any
     certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
     thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In
     the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
     such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
     satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B)
     the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C)
     the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C
     Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C
     Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information
     pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment,
     including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative
     Agent may require.

          (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the
     L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
     writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter
     of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will
     provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer
     has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or
     any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of
     issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of

<PAGE>

     Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall
     not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C
     Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the
     account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the
     applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with
     the L/C Issuer's usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon
     the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and
     hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C
     Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to
     the product of such Lender's Applicable Percentage times the amount of such
     Letter of Credit.

          (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
     Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree
     to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each,
     an "Auto-Extension Letter of Credit"); provided that any such
     Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any
     such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with
     the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to
     the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the "Non-Extension Notice
     Date") in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such
     Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer,
     the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C
     Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has
     been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not
     require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at
     any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration
     Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such
     extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be
     permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter
     of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by
     reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or
     otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in
     writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the
     Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the
     Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the
     Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the
     applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and
     in each case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

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

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

          (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any
     notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify
     the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00
     a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit
     (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C
     Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of
     such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such
     time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
     Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed
     Amount"), and the amount of such Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof. In
     such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of
     Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the
     Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified
     in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to
     the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan
     Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total
     Revolving

<PAGE>

     Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any
     notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
     Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
     writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not
     affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

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

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

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

          (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be
     returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05
     (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its
     discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of
     the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
     demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per
     annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
     The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment
     in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>

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

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

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying
any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer,
the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any
Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request
or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii)
any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or
Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of
Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall
not, preclude the Borrower's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have
against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None
of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related
Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall
be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through
(v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer,
and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages
suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C
Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the
beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit unless the L/C Issuer is prevented or
prohibited from so paying as a result of any order or directive of any court or
other Governmental Authority. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be
in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights
or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove
to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

     (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if
the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter
of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains
outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize
the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.05 and 9.02(c)
set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.
For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 9.02(c), "Cash
Collateralize" means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the
L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer
(which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such
term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a
security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein
and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in
blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent.

     (h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C
Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP
shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

     (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") for each Letter
of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available
to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily
amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08. Letter of
Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due
and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and
thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any
quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of
Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

     (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a
fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum
specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the actual daily maximum amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum
amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) and on a quarterly basis
in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most
recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first
payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under
any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.08. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to
the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation,
amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of
the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.
Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand
and are nonrefundable.

     (k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between
the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall
control.

     (l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a
Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any
obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be
obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under
such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of
Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the
Borrower, and that the Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the
businesses of such Subsidiaries.

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

     (a) Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a
"Swing Line Loan") to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any

<PAGE>

Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed
at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding
the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of
the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed
the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after
giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall
not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender's
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus
such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line
Loans shall not exceed such Lender's Revolving Commitment, and provided,
further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to
refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under
this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section
2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the
making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a
risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of
such Lender's Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

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

     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

          (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute
     discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
     requests and authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf),
     that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's
     Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.
     Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be
     deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the
     requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples
     specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject
     to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a
     Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the
     Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving
     Commitments. The Swing Line Lender

<PAGE>

     shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice
     promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each
     Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the
     amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent
     in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
     Administrative Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified
     in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender
     that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan
     to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the
     funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

          (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by
     such a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i),
     the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set
     forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that
     each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line
     Loan and each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account
     of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed
     payment in respect of such participation.

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

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

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

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

          (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of
     principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by
     the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section
     11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line
     Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender
     its

<PAGE>

     Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus
     interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
     returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The
     Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing
     Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive
     the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
     Agreement.

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

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

2.05 Prepayments.

     (a) Voluntary Prepayments.

          (i) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower
     to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily
     prepay Revolving Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty;
     provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent
     not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of
     prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (2) four
     Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
     denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (3) on the date of prepayment of
     Base Rate Loans; (B) any such prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall
     be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in
     excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
     outstanding); and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a
     principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess
     thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
     outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
     prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent
     will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of
     the amount of such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If
     such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such
     prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
     payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency
     Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount
     prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
     3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in
     accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

          (ii) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line
     Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time
     to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without
     premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the
     Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on
     the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a
     minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
     excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then
     outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
     prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall
     make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall
     be due and payable on the date specified therein.

<PAGE>

     (b) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

          (i) Revolving Commitments. If for any reason the Total Revolving
     Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in
     effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or the
     Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an
     aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower
     shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to
     this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the
     Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings
     exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect.

          (ii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be
     paid pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, to Revolving Loans
     and Swing Line Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans
     have been repaid) to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations.

     Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments
     shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurocurrency Rate
     Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under
     this Section 2.05(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise
     without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the
     principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

     (a) Optional Reductions. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from
time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments to an amount
not less than the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and
L/C Obligations; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon five (5) Business Days prior to
the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be
in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof, or (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any
concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after
giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations would exceed
the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving
effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding
Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. The amount of
any such Aggregate Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Alternative
Currency Sublimit or the Letter of Credit Sublimit unless otherwise specified by
the Borrower.

     (b) Mandatory Reductions. If after giving effect to any reduction or
termination of Revolving Commitments under this Section 2.06, the Letter of
Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit or the Alternative Currency Sublimit
exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments at such time, the Letter of Credit
Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit or the Alternative Currency Sublimit, as the
case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

     (c) Notice. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of
any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line
Sublimit, the Alternative Currency Sublimit or the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced
by such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. All fees in
respect of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments accrued until the effective date
of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination.
<PAGE>

2.07 Repayment of Loans.

     (a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the
Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding
on such date.

     (b) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the
earlier to occur of (i) the date within one (1) Business Day of demand therefor
by the Swing Line Lender and (ii) the Maturity Date.

2.08 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each
Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the
case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending
Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory
Cost, (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate.

     (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due
     (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated
     maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear
     interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
     Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

          (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the
     Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to
     any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
     or otherwise, then such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
     fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate
     to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

          (iii) While any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay
     interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder
     at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default
     Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

          (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including
     interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

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

     (d) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of
interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the "deemed
year") that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar
year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a
yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual
number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number
of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed

<PAGE>

reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder
and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal
rates and not effective rates or yields.

2.09 Fees.

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

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

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

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.

     All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is
determined by Bank of America's "prime rate" shall be made on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of
interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which
market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market
practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is
made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on
which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on
the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear
interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.

2.11 Evidence of Debt.

     (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative
Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower
and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any
Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any

<PAGE>

Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note,
which shall evidence such Lender's Loans in addition to such accounts or
records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, be
in the form of Exhibit 2.11(a)(i) (a "Revolving Note"), and (ii) in the case of
Swing Line Loans, be in the form of Exhibit 2.11(a)(ii) (a "Swing Line Note").
Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type
(if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.

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

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent's Clawback.

     (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to
principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all
payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the
Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than
2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and
interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such
payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent's Office in such Alternative
Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by
the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any
payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any
reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment
hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in
Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office. All
payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case
of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the
Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall
be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable
interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of "Interest
Period", if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other
than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as
the case may be.

     (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
     Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
     proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case
     of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of
     such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the
     Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the
     Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
     available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of
     any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share
     available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and
     may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
     corresponding amount. In such event, if a

<PAGE>

     Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available
     to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower
     severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
     corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day
     from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower
     to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in
     the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (B)
     in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate
     applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay
     such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping
     period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the
     amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such
     Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative
     Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included
     in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice
     to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed
     to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

          (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
     Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
     Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
     Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer
     hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative
     Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in
     accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute
     to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In
     such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of
     the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to
     repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
     distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with
     interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
     distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
     Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

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

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

     (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not
joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such
participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required
hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to
do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its
payment under Section 11.04(c).

     (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender
to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

<PAGE>

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

     If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line
Loans held by it resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of
the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest
thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative
Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in
the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the
other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

          (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and
     all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
     participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase
     price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

          (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to
     (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
     express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
     consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of
     its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to
     any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
     thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

     Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such
Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.

                                   ARTICLE III

                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

     (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Loan Party shall be
required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other
Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative
Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan
Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

     (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the
provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

<PAGE>

     (c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or
the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C
Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

     (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the
Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but
only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:

          (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
     claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
     United States is a party,

          (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

          (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
     exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
     certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank"
     within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent
     shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of
     the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in section
     881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue
     Service Form W-8BEN, or

          (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for
     claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding
     tax duly completed together with such

<PAGE>

     supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
     permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to
     be made.

     (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any
Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan
Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the
event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be
construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to
make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes
that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality.

     If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans
(whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or
charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in
the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make
or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower
shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to
Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such
day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

     If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with
any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof that (a) Dollar deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency)
are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for
such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency
Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative
Currency), or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of
the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until
the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower

<PAGE>

may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such
request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount
specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs.

     (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

          (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
     compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
     deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in
     by, any Lender (except (A) any reserve requirement reflected in the
     Eurocurrency Rate and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the
     Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the
     Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth below) or the L/C Issuer;

          (ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind
     whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any
     participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by
     it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C
     Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
     covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate
     of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer);

          (v) the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, does not represent
     the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of
     England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central
     Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate
     Loans; or

          (vi) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank
     market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or
     Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
     participation therein;

     and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
     such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of
     maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost
     to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or
     maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to
     participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount
     of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer
     hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
     request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such
     Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or
     amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
     be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

     (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that
any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office
of such Lender or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any,
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's capital or on the capital of such
Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of
Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the
L/C Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or
the L/C Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the
Borrower

<PAGE>

will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such
Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

     (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C
Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the
L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's right
to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than
six months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05 Compensation for Losses.

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

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

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

          (c) any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any Loan (or
     interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its
     scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or

          (d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the
     last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the
     Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13;

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

     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders
under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate used in determining
the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or

<PAGE>

other borrowing in the London interbank Eurocurrency market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan
was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

     (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant
to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

     (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section
11.13.

3.07 Survival.

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

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    GUARANTY

4.01 The Guaranty.

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

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

<PAGE>

4.02 Obligations Unconditional.

     The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several,
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or
Treasury Management Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to
therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other
guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the
obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall
have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against
the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until
such time as the Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have
expired or terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is
agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one
or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described
above:

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

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

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>

4.03 Reinstatement.

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

4.04 Certain Additional Waivers.

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

4.05 Remedies.

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

4.06 Rights of Contribution.

     The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments
made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other
Guarantors as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of such
Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights
of contribution until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments
have terminated.

4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

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

above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by
the Borrower with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely
responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such

     The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or
BAS will make available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer materials and/or
information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively,
the "Borrower Materials") by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or
another similar electronic system (the "Platform") and (b) certain of the
Lenders may be "public-side" Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive
material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities)
(each, a "Public Lender"). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) it will use
commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of Borrower Materials
that are to be made available to Public Lenders and that all such materials
shall be clearly and conspicuously marked "PUBLIC" which, at a minimum, shall
mean that the word "PUBLIC" shall appear prominently on the first page thereof;
(x) by marking Borrower Materials "PUBLIC," the Borrower shall be deemed to have
authorized the Administrative Agent, BAS and the Lenders to treat such Borrower
Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to
the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state
securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials
constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.07);
(y) all Borrower Materials marked "PUBLIC" are permitted to be made available
through a portion of the Platform designated as "Public Investor;" and (z) the
Administrative Agent and BAS shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials
that are not marked "PUBLIC" as being suitable only for posting on a portion of
the Platform not marked as "Public Investor." Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any Borrower Materials "PUBLIC."

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

          (b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all
     interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable
     hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of
the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the
unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other
amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the
obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as
aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act
of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

9.03 Application of Funds.

     After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the
Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C

Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

          First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
     fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and
     disbursements of counsel to the

<PAGE>

     Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the
     Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

          Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
     fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and
     Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including
     fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and
     the L/C Issuer and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them
     in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second
     payable to them;

          Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
     accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and L/C
     Borrowings and fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments, and any
     interest accrued thereon, due under any Swap Contract between any Loan
     Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, to the extent such Swap
     Contract is permitted by Section 8.03(d), ratably among the Lenders (and,
     in the case of such Swap Contracts, Affiliates of Lenders) and the L/C
     Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
     Third held by them;

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

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

     Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the
aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above
shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.
If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit
have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied
to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

     Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of
America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article
are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a
third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

<PAGE>

10.02 Rights as a Lender.

     The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term
"Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with
any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person
were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders.

10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

     The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

          (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
     regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

          (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
     exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
     expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the
     Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
     Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
     shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
     provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
     action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
     Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document
     or applicable law; and

          (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other
     Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
     failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of
     its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as
     the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

<PAGE>

10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

     The Administrative 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 (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper
Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance
of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such
Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Loan Parties), 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.

10.05 Delegation of Duties.

     The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through
any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such
sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.

10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

     The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to
the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the
United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice
and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and
the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the
acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor

<PAGE>

unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and
their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent.

     Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged
from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit
in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of
such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C
Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with
respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

     Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

10.08 No Other Duties; Etc.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners,
arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

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

          (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal
     and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and
     all other Obligations (other than obligations under Swap Contracts or

     party) that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
     necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C
     Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
     compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C
     Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel
     and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the

<PAGE>

     Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.10 and 11.04)
     allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or

each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10
and 11.04.

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

10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

     The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative
Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

          (a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the
     Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
     Aggregate Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations
     (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or

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

     Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders
     will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release its
     interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any
     Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section
     10.10.

               without the written consent of such Lender whose Commitment is
               being extended or increased (it being understood and agreed that
               a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.02 or
               of any Default or a mandatory reduction in Commitments is not
               considered an extension or increase in Commitments of any
               Lender);

                    (ii) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other
               Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or
               other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) or any
               scheduled or mandatory reduction of the Commitments hereunder or
               under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each
               Lender entitled to receive such payment or whose Commitments are
               to be reduced;

                    (iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest
               specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to
               clause (i) of the final proviso to this Section 11.01) any fees
               or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan
               Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to
               receive such payment of principal, interest, fees or other
               amounts; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required
               Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of "Default
               Rate" or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest
               or Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate;

                    (iv) change Section 2.13 or Section 9.03 in a manner that
               would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby

               thereby;

                    (v) amend Section 1.05 or the definition of "Alternative
               Currency" without the written consent of each Lender;

                    (vi) change any provision of this Section 11.01(a) or the
               definition of "Required Lenders" without the written consent of
               each Lender directly affected thereby;

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

                    (viii) release the Borrower or, except in connection with a
               merger or consolidation permitted under Section 8.04 or a
               Disposition permitted under Section 8.05, all or substantially
               all of the Guarantors without the written consent of each Lender
               directly affected thereby.

          (b) unless also signed by the L/C Issuer, no amendment, waiver or
     consent shall affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this
     Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or
     to be issued by it;

          (c) unless also signed by the Swing Line Lender, no amendment, waiver
     or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under

<PAGE>

          (d) unless also signed by the Administrative Agent, no amendment,

Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a
writing executed only by the parties thereto, (ii) no Defaulting Lender shall
have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or
extended without the consent of such Lender, (iii) each Lender is entitled to
vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects
the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c)
of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersedes the unanimous consent
provisions set forth herein and (iv) the Required Lenders shall determine
whether or not to allow a Loan Party to use cash collateral in the context of a
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on
all of the Lenders.

     (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to
procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Article
II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the
Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such
Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower

or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any
kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower's or
the Administrative Agent's transmission of Borrower Materials through the
Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any
Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or
any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not
preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the
terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C

     No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to
exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other

any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including
the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges

Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof)
and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of

connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by a Loan Party or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to a Loan

litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or
arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole
negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be

<PAGE>

available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith
of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if
the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment
in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

     (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any
reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b)
of this Section to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender's Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount,
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing
acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

     (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party 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, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in
subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

     (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later

of all the other Obligations.

11.05 Payments Set Aside.

     To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to
the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent,
the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without
duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand

<PAGE>

to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such
recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under
clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted

of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or
more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b),
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to
it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following
conditions:

          (i) Notice. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
     is continuing, any Lender planning to assign any portion of its rights and
     obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall provide
     the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with ten Business Days' prior
     written notice and during such ten Business Day period the Borrower shall
     be permitted to find a replacement Lender to purchase the commitment of
     such selling Lender at par provided such assignment does not cause any
     additional costs for such selling Lender.

          (ii) Minimum Amounts.

               (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount
          of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing
          to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
          Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

               (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(ii)(A) of this
          Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
          purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment
          is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans
          of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as
          of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
          assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade
          Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
          Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of an assignment
          of Revolving Loans unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so
          long as

<PAGE>

          no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
          otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
          or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members
          of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an
          Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of
          its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for
          purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

          (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any
     assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(ii)(B) of this
     Section and, in addition:

               (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be
          unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an
          Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such
          assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
          Lender or an Approved Fund;

               (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to
          be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such
          assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such
          Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

               (C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be
          unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment
          that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in
          exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then
          outstanding); and

               (D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to
          unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
          assignment.

          (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall
     execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
     Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount,
     if any, required as set forth in Schedule 11.06; provided, however, that
     the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to wave such
     processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee,
     if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
     Administrative Questionnaire.

          (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the
     Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

          (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be
     made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee

<PAGE>

Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

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

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's
Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such
Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other
modification described in clauses (i) through (vii) of the Section 11.01(a) that
affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section.
To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

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

     (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

     (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words "execution," "signed,"
"signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be
deemed to include electronic signatures

<PAGE>

or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same
legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the
use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and
as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic
Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act

     (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank
of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b)
above, Bank of America may, (i) upon thirty days' notice to the Borrower and the
Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty days' notice to the
Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from
among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder;
provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall
retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder
with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of
its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto
(including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of
America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the
Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made
by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including
the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).Upon
the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (1) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the
case may be, and (2) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to
effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such
Letters of Credit.

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its
Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors and representatives and to any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty (or such contractual counterparty's professional advisor) under any
Swap Contract relating to Loans outstanding under this Agreement (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i)
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to a Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

<PAGE>

     For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received
from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any
Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C
Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party
or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified
at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it
has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

11.08 Set-off.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender,
the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at
any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C
Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower
or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such
Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of
such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such
deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C
Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender,
the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C
Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after
any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

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

<PAGE>

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

     This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original,
but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement.

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

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

11.12 Severability.

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

11.13 Replacement of Lenders.

     If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
(iii) a Lender (a "Non-Consenting Lender") does not consent to a proposed
change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document that
has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.01 but
requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected
thereby (as applicable) or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

     (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 11.06(b);

<PAGE>

     (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

     (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter;

     (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

     (e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting
Lender's failure to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination with respect to any Loan Document, the applicable replacement bank,
financial institution or Fund consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge
or termination; provided that the failure by such Non-Consenting Lender to
execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity
of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of
such Non-Consenting Lender's Commitments and outstanding Loans and
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section
11.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such
Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.

11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS
OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER

SHELBY COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF
ANY JURISDICTION.

<PAGE>

     (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH

     EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY

AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

11.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

     Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it
is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

11.17 No Advisory of Fiduciary Relationship.

     In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the
Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates'
understanding, that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any
related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any
other Loan Document) are an arm's-length commercial transaction between the
Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and
BAS, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and
understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any
amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection
with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and BAS
each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial

<PAGE>

stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the
Administrative Agent nor BAS has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or
fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with
respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other
Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or BAS has
advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other
matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor BAS has any obligation to the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan

the Administrative Agent and BAS have not provided and will not provide any
legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the

modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrower has
consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent
it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent or BAS with respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty.

                                                      WRIGHT MEDICAL GROUP, INC.
                                                                CREDIT AGREEMENT
<PAGE>

                                SCHEDULE 1.01(a)

                             MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

     1. The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate
Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of
England and/or the Financial services Authority (or, in either case, any other
authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of
the European Central Bank (the "Mandatory Cost").

     2. For the purposes of this Schedule:

     "Additional Cost Rate" has the meaning provided in paragraph 3 below;

     "Eligible Liabilities" and "Special Deposits" have the meanings given to
them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as
may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

     "Fee Tariffs" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the
activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee
required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable
discount rate);

     "Fees Rules" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA
Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time
to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

     "Mandatory Cost" has the meaning provided in paragraph 1 above;

     "Reference Banks" means, in relation to LIBOR and Mandatory Cost the
principal London office of Bank of America or such other banks as may be
appointed by the Administrative Agent in consultation with GFI.

     "Tariff Base" has the meaning provided in, and will be calculated in
accordance with, the Fees Rules.

     3. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible
thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a
rate (the "Additional Cost Rate") for each Lender, in accordance with the
paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the
Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates
(weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the
relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

     4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in
a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by the Lender to
the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by the Lender in its
notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the
cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made
from that Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of
the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Lending Office.

     5. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in
the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

<PAGE>

in relation to a sterling Loan:

                                     (LOGO)

in relation to a Loan denominated in any currency other than sterling:

                                     (LOGO)

     where:

          "A" is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in
     excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time
     required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank
     of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

          "B" is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable
     Margin, the Mandatory Cost and, if applicable, the Default Rate) payable
     for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

          "C" is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that
     Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing
     Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

          "D" is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to
     the Administrative Agent on interest-bearing Special Deposits.

          "E" is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the
     Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the
     average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks
     to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in
     pounds per British Pounds Sterling 1,000,000.

     6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in
the formulae as percentages (i.e., 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and
not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken
as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

     7. If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as
soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority,
supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference
Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect
of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated
for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs
applicable to that Reference Lender for that financial year) and expressed in
pounds per British Pounds Sterling 1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that
Reference Bank.

     8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative
Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular,
but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or
prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

          (a) the jurisdiction of its Lending Office; and

<PAGE>

          (b) any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably
     require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the
information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

     9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the
rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be
determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it
pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in
relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a
typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Lending Office in the
same jurisdiction as its Lending Office.

     10. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such
determination results in an Additional Cost Rate that over- or under-compensates
any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any
Lender or the Mandatory Cost Reference Lender pursuant to paragraphs 4, 7 and 8
above is true and correct in all respects.

     11. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts
received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the
Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each
Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 4, 7 and 8 above.

     12. Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule
in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, and Additional Cost Rate or any
amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit Agreement.

     13. The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with
the Foreign Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties to the
Credit Agreement any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule
in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from
time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or
the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces
all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit
Agreement.

	 	3.1.	 	Except as specifically authorized by the Committee, Grantee may not transfer the
Options except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and the Options shall be
exercisable during the Grantee’s lifetime only by the Grantee or, in the event of Grantee’s
incapacity, Grantee’s guardian or legal representative. Except as so authorized, no
purported assignment or transfer of the Options, or of the rights represented thereby,
whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution), shall vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or
right herein whatsoever.

	 	3.2.	 	By accepting the Options, Grantee represents and agrees for Grantee and Grantee’s
transferees (whether by will or the laws of descent and distribution) that:

Page 3

(a) For the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the first anniversary of
the date upon which Grantee loses status as an Eligible Person (such period is
hereinafter referred to as the “Covenant Period”), with respect to any state in which
the Company is engaged in business during Grantee’s employment with the Company, Grantee
shall not participate or engage, directly or indirectly, for Grantee or on behalf of or
in conjunction with any person, partnership, corporation or other entity, whether as an
employee, agent, officer, director, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, investor or
otherwise, in any business activities if such activity consists of any activity
undertaken or expressly planned to be undertaken by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or by Grantee at any time during which Grantee maintained status as an
Eligible Person.

(b) Except with the Company’s prior written approval or as may otherwise be required by
law or legal process, Grantee shall not disclose any material or information which is
confidential to the Company or its subsidiaries and not in the public domain or
generally known in the industry, whether tangible or intangible, made available,
disclosed or otherwise known to Grantee as a result of Grantee’s status as an Eligible
Person.

(c) During the Covenant Period, Grantee shall not attempt to influence, persuade or
induce, or assist any other person in so persuading or inducing, any employee of the
Company or its subsidiaries to give up, or to not commence, employment or a business
relationship with the Company.

	 	3.3.	 	The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase and acquire from
Grantee any or all of the Shares previously acquired by Grantee upon exercise of an Option
(the “Repurchased Shares”) if the Committee reasonably determines that Grantee has violated
the covenants set forth in this Agreement or Grantee’s loss of status as an Eligible Person
is a result of termination of employment for Cause (as defined in the Plan) or Grantee’s
loss of status as an Eligible Person could have resulted from termination of employment for
Cause. The Company may exercise the right granted to it under this Section 3.3 by
delivering written notice to Grantee stating that the Company is exercising the repurchase
right granted to it under this Section 3.3. The delivery of such notice by the Company to
Grantee shall constitute a binding commitment of the Company to purchase and acquire all of
the Repurchased Shares. The total purchase price for the Repurchased Shares shall be
delivered to the Grantee against delivery by Grantee of certificates evidencing the
Repurchased Shares no later than 30 days after the delivery of the election notice by the
Company. The price per share of the Repurchased Shares shall be the lesser of 1) the Fair
Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of each of the Repurchased Shares on the date of the
Company’s delivery of its written notice to Grantee or 2) the Option Price.
	 
	 	3.4.	 	The Company shall have the right, and not the obligation, to cancel any or all of the
Options if the Committee reasonably determines that Grantee has violated the covenants set
forth in this Agreement. The Company may exercise the right granted to it under this
Section 3.4 by delivering a written notice to Grantee stating that the Company is
exercising the cancellation right granted to it under this Section 3.4.
	 
	 	3.5.	 	Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, the Company shall not be
obligated to purchase any Stock at any time to the extent that the purchase would result in
a violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree or
judgment promulgated or entered by any Federal, state, local or foreign court or
governmental authority applicable to the Company or any of its property.

	 	3.6.	 	The parties intend the restrictions in Section 3.2 to be completely severable and
independent, and any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more such restrictions
shall not render invalid or unenforceable any one or more restrictions.

	4.	 	Exercise; Payment for and Delivery of Shares. Options which have become exercisable may be
exercised by delivery of written notice of exercise to the Committee accompanied by payment of
the Option Price. The Option Price shall be payable in cash and/or shares of Stock value at
the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date the Option is exercised or, in the
discretion of the Committee, either (i) in other property having a fair market value on the
date of exercise equal to the Option Price, or (ii) by delivering to the Committee a copy of
irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of sale
or loan proceeds sufficient to pay the Option Price. Payment in currency or by certified or
cashier’s check shall be considered payment in cash.

	5.	 	Loss of Status as an Eligible Person. If prior to the Expiration Date Grantee ceases to be
an Eligible Person, the Options shall expire on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the date
that is ninety days after the date upon which Grantee ceased to be an Eligible Person. In
such event, the Options shall remain exercisable by Grantee until expiration only to the
extent the Options were exercisable at the time that Grantee ceased to be an Eligible Person.

	6.	 	Stockholder Rights. Grantee or a transferee of the Options shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Options until Grantee shall have become
the holder of record of such shares (and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause Grantee to become the holder of record of such shares), and, except as provided in
Section 7 of this Agreement, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or
other rights in respect of such Shares for which the record date is prior to the date upon
which he or she shall become the holder of record thereof.

	7.	 	Changes in Capital Structure. In accordance with and subject to the applicable terms of the
Plan, the Options shall be subject to adjustment or substitution, as determined by the
Committee, as to the number, price or kind of Stock or other consideration subject to such
Options or as otherwise determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event of
changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock
dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers,
consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring
after the date hereof or (ii) in the event of any change in applicable laws or any change in
circumstances which results in or would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of
the rights granted to, or available for, Grantee. No such adjustment shall be made which
would result in an increase in the amount of gain or a decrease in the amount of loss inherent
in the Options. The Company shall give Grantee written notice of an adjustment hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any of the following:

	 	(a)	 	The Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation or entity and, in
connection therewith, consideration is received by stockholders of the Company in a form
other than stock or other equity interests of the surviving entity;
	 
	 	(b)	 	All or substantially all of the assets of the Company are acquired by another
person; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Company’s reorganization or liquidation;

then the Committee may, in its discretion and upon at least ten days advance notice to the affected
persons, cancel any outstanding Options and pay to Grantee, in cash, the value of such Options
based upon the price per share of Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the
Company in

such event and the per share exercise price of the Options.

	8.	 	Requirements of Law.

	 	8.1.	 	By accepting the Options, Grantee represents and agrees for Grantee and any transferees
(whether by will or the laws of descent and distribution) that, unless a registration
statement under the Securities Act is in effect as to the shares purchased upon any
exercise of the Options, (i) any and all Shares so purchased shall be acquired for his or
her personal account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
distribution, and (ii) each notice of the exercise of any portion of this Option shall be
accompanied by a representation and warranty in writing, signed by the person entitled to
exercise the same, that the shares are being so acquired in good faith for his or her
personal account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution.
	 
	 	8.2.	 	No certificate or certificates for Shares may be purchased, issued or transferred if
the exercise hereof or the issuance or transfer of such Shares shall constitute a violation
by the Company or Grantee of any (i) provision of any Federal, state or other securities
law, (ii) requirement of any securities exchange listing agreement to which the Company may
be a party, or (iii) other requirement of law or of any regulatory body having jurisdiction
over the Company. Any reasonable determination in this connection by the Company, upon
notice given to Grantee, shall be final, binding and conclusive.
	 
	 	8.3.	 	The certificates representing shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise
of Options shall carry such appropriate legend, and such written instructions shall be
given to the Company’s transfer agent, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by counsel
to the Company in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act or any state
securities laws.

	9.	 	Taxes. Grantee understands that Grantee may recognize income for federal and, if applicable,
state income tax purposes upon exercise of Options. Grantee shall be liable for any and all
taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of the grant of the Options or their exercise
hereunder. By accepting the Options, Grantee covenants to report such income in accordance
with applicable federal and state laws. To the extent that the exercise of Options results in
income to Grantee and withholding obligations of the Company, including federal or state
withholding obligations, Grantee agrees that the obligation shall be satisfied in the manner
Grantee has chosen by checking one of the following boxes:

	 	o	 	At least one working day prior to the exercise date Grantee may deliver to the Company
an amount of cash determined by the Company to be adequate to satisfy the Company’s
withholding obligation. If Grantee does not deliver such amount of cash, the Company shall
withhold an amount of the Grantee’s current or future remuneration in an amount that
satisfies the Company’s withholding obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may in its sole discretion withhold from the Shares to be issued the specific number of
Shares having a fair market value on the vesting date equal to the amount required to
satisfy the Company’s withholding obligation.
	 
	 	o	 	The Company shall retain and instruct a registered broker(s) to sell such number of
Shares issued upon exercise of Options necessary to satisfy the Company’s withholding
obligations, after deduction of the broker’s commission, and the broker shall remit to the
Company the cash necessary in order for the Company to satisfy its withholding obligations.
Grantee covenants to execute any such documents as are requested by the broker of the
Company in order to effectuate the sale of the Shares and payment of the tax obligations to
the Company. The Grantee represents to the Company that, as of the date hereof, he or she
is not aware of

 

 

Stock Option Grant Agreement

Page 6

	 	 	 	any material nonpublic information about the Company or the Shares. The
Grantee and the Company have structured this Agreement to constitute a “binding contract”
relating to the sale of Shares pursuant to this Section, consistent with the affirmative
defense to liability under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act under Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange
Act.*

	10.	 	Governing Law. The grant of Options and the provisions of this Agreement are governed by,
and subject to, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law
provisions, as provided in the Plan.

	 	 	For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or the Agreement, the
parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Tennessee, agree that
such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Shelby County, Tennessee, or the federal
courts for the United States for the Western District of Tennessee, where this grant is made
and/or to be performed.
	 
	11.	 	Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any
documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Grantee
hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in
the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or
a third party designated by the Company.

	12.	 	Miscellaneous.

	 	12.1.	 	The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Stock of
the Company which have been sold or transferred in violation of any provisions set forth in
this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such shares or to accord the right to vote as
such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such shares shall have been so
transferred.

	 	12.2.	 	The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such action as may
be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
	 
	 	12.3.	 	Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be
deemed effectively given upon delivery to Grantee at the address of Grantee then on file
with the Company.
	 
	 	12.4.	 	Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor any provisions under either shall be construed
so as to grant Grantee any right to remain associated with the Company or any of its
affiliates.
	 
	 	12.5.	 	This Agreement, subject to the provisions of the Plan, constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

			
	*	 	By selecting the second option, Grantee understands
that the sale of Shares to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations will
be considered a sale for purposes of short-swing liability under Section 16(b)
of the Exchange Act. Any profit realized in a purchase of shares of the
Company’s stock within six months of the sale may be recovered by the Company
or by a stockholder of the Company on behalf of the Company.
