                       AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE COMMITMENTS

                  SECTION 2.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES. Subject to and
upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, (i) the Lenders hereby establish
in favor of the Borrower a revolving credit facility pursuant to which each
Lender severally agrees (to the extent of such Lender's Revolving Commitment) to
make Revolving Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2, (ii) the
Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.24,
(iii) the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in accordance with
Section 2.5, and (iv) each Lender agrees to purchase a participation interest in
the Letters of Credit and the Swingline Loans pursuant to the terms and
conditions hereof; provided, that in no event shall the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and outstanding LC
Exposure exceed at any time the Aggregate Revolving Commitments from time to
time in effect.

                  SECTION 2.2. REVOLVING LOANS. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving
Loans, ratably in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, to the Borrower, from time
to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount
outstanding at any time that will not result in (a) such Lender's Revolving
Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender's Revolving Commitment or (b) the sum of
the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders exceeding the Aggregate
Revolving Commitment Amount. During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall
be entitled to borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, that the Borrower may not
borrow or reborrow should there exist a Default or Event of Default.

                  SECTION 2.3. PROCEDURE FOR REVOLVING BORROWINGS. The Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of each Revolving Borrowing substantially in the
form of Exhibit 2.3 attached hereto (a "Notice of Revolving Borrowing") (x)
prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested date of each Base Rate
Borrowing and (y) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days
prior to the requested date of each Eurodollar Borrowing. Each Notice of
Revolving Borrowing shall

                                     - 22 -
<PAGE>

be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such
Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),
(iii) the Type of such Revolving Loan comprising such Borrowing and (iv) in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest Period
applicable thereto (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest
Period). Each Revolving Borrowing shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans or
Eurodollar Loans, as the Borrower may request. The aggregate principal amount of
each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be not less than $4,000,000 or a larger multiple
of $1,000,000, and the aggregate principal amount of each Base Rate Borrowing
shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000; provided,
that Base Rate Loans made pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 2.24(c) may be made
in lesser amounts as provided therein. At no time shall the total number of
Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding at any time exceed twelve. Promptly following
the receipt of a Notice of Revolving Borrowing in accordance herewith, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and the
amount of such Lender's Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested
Revolving Borrowing.

                  SECTION  2.4. RESERVED.

                  SECTION 2.5. SWINGLINE COMMITMENT. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans
to the Borrower, from time to time from the Closing Date to the Swingline
Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not
to exceed the lesser of (i) the Swingline Commitment then in effect and (ii) the
difference between the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount and the aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders; provided, that no Swingline Loan may
be made to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan, and no Swingline Loan shall
be outstanding for a period that exceeds fourteen (14) days. The Borrower shall
be entitled to borrow and repay Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

                  SECTION  2.6. PROCEDURE FOR SWINGLINE BORROWING; ETC.

                  (a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline
Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.6 attached hereto ("Notice of
Swingline Borrowing") prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the requested date
of each Swingline Borrowing. Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the principal amount of such Swingline Loan,
(ii) the date of such Swingline Loan (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii)
the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Swingline Loan should
be credited. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender
of each Notice of Swingline Borrowing. Each Swingline Loan shall accrue interest
at the Base Rate or any other interest rate as agreed between the Borrower and
the Swingline Lender and shall have an Interest Period (subject to the
definition thereof) as agreed between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender. The
aggregate principal amount of each Swingline Loan shall be not less than
$100,000 or a larger multiple of $50,000, or such other minimum amounts agreed
to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. The Swingline Lender will make the
proceeds of each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars in
immediately available funds at the account specified by the Borrower in the
applicable Notice of Swingline Borrowing not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York
time) on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

                                     - 23 -
<PAGE>

                  (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in
its sole discretion, may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), give a Notice
of Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders
(including the Swingline Lender) to make Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to
the unpaid principal amount of any Swingline Loan. Each Lender will make the
proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in accordance with
Section 2.7, which will be used solely for the repayment of such Swingline Loan.

                  (c) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as
determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the
Swingline Lender) shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such
Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof on the date that
such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. On the date of such required
purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds,
the amount of its participating interest to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swingline Lender. If such Swingline Loan bears interest at a rate
other than the Base Rate, such Swingline Loan shall automatically become a Base
Rate Loan on the effective date of any such participation and interest shall
become payable on demand.

                  (d) Each Lender's obligation to make a Base Rate Loan pursuant
to Section 2.6(b) or to purchase the participating interests pursuant to Section
2.6(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have
or claim against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the
termination of any Lender's Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or
alleged existence) of any event or condition which has had or could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made
available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with
accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof (i) at the
Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (ii) at
the Base Rate at all times thereafter. Until such time as such Lender makes its
required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have
outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of the unpaid participation for all
purposes of the Loan Documents. In addition, such Lender shall be deemed to have
assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans and
any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund the
amount of such Lender's participation interest in such Swingline Loans that such
Lender failed to fund pursuant to this Section, until such amount has been
purchased in full.

SECTION 2.7.      FUNDING OF BORROWINGS.

                  (a) Each Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it
hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer in immediately available
funds by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) to the Administrative Agent at the Payment
Office; provided, that the Swingline Loans will

                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>

be made as set forth in Section 2.6. The Administrative Agent will make such
Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts that it
receives, in like funds by the close of business on such proposed date, to an
account maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent or at the
Borrower's option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to an account
designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. On the Closing Date, all
Existing Loans shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans. Each New Lender will fund
its initial Revolving Loan equal to its Pro Rata Share of all Revolving Loans to
the Payment Office no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Closing Date.

                  (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
by any Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one (1) Business Day prior to
the date of a Borrowing in which such Lender is to participate 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
amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the
Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is
not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the
date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover
such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at
the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and
thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding
amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall
immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together
with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing. Nothing in this
subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its
Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the
Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender
hereunder.

                  (c) All Revolving Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on
the basis of their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible
for any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each
Lender shall be obligated to make its Revolving Loans provided to be made by it
hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans
hereunder.

                  SECTION  2.8. INTEREST ELECTIONS.

                  (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in
the applicable Notice of Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing,
shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing.
Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing into a different
Type or to continue such Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing,
may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The
Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the
affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably
among the Lenders holding Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans
comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This
Section shall NOT apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or
continued.

                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>

                  (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing substantially in the form of
Exhibit 2.8 attached hereto (a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation") that is to
be converted or continued, as the case may be, (x) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York
time) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of a conversion into a
Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three (3)
Business Days prior to a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar
Borrowing. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and
shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such Notice of Continuation/Conversion
applies and if different options are being elected with respect to different
portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each
resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to
clauses (iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii)
the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of
Continuation/Conversion, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether the
resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Interest Period applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of "Interest Period". If any
such Notice of Continuation/Conversion requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month. The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing
shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Borrowings and Base
Rate Borrowings set forth in Section 2.3.

                  (c) If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of
any Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of
Conversion/ Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing
to a Base Rate Borrowing. No Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default exists, unless the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise consented in
writing. No conversion of any Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted except on the
last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

                  (d) Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the details thereof
and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

                  (e) All Loans outstanding on the Closing Date shall be Base
Rate Loans, unless and until the Borrower converts the Base Rate Loans to
Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8.

                  SECTION 2.9. OPTIONAL REDUCTION AND TERMINATION OF
                               COMMITMENTS.

                  (a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments
(including the LC Commitments) shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment
Termination Date, except that the Swingline Commitment shall terminate on the
Swingline Termination Date.

                  (b) Upon at least three (3) Business Days' prior written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the
Administrative Agent (which notice shall be

                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>

irrevocable), the Borrower may reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in
part or terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in whole; provided, that
(i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and permanently
the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to
this Section 2.8 shall be in an amount of at least $4,000,000 and any larger
multiple of $1,000,000, and (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which
would reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments to an amount less than the
outstanding Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders. Any such reduction in the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall result in a proportionate reduction
(rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the Swingline
Commitment and the LC Commitment.

                  SECTION 2.10.  REPAYMENT OF LOANS.

                  (a) The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans
shall be due and payable (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on
the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

                  (b) The principal amount of each Swingline Borrowing shall be
due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon) on the earlier of (i)
the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing and (ii) the
Swingline Termination Date.

                  SECTION 2.11.  EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS.

                  (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice appropriate records evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender
from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain
appropriate records in which shall be recorded (i) the Revolving Commitment of
each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Loan made hereunder by each Lender, the
Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the
date of each continuation thereof pursuant to Section 2.8, (iv) the date of each
conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type pursuant to Section 2.8,
(v) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of
such Loans and (vi) both the date and amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Loans and
each Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries made in such records shall be
prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the
Borrower therein recorded; provided, that the failure or delay of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such record
or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the Loans (both principal and unpaid accrued interest) of such
Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (b) At the request of any Lender (including the Swingline
Lender) at any time, the Borrower agrees that it will execute and deliver to
such Lender a Revolving Credit Note and, in the case of the Swingline Lender
only, a Swingline Note, payable to the order of such Lender.

                  SECTION 2.12. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS. The Borrower shall have
the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or
in part, without premium or

                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>

penalty, by giving irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case
of prepayment of any Eurodollar Borrowing, 11:00 a.m. (New York time) not less
than three (3) Business Days prior to any such prepayment, (ii) in the case of
any prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing, not less than one Business Day prior
to the date of such prepayment, and (iii) in the case of Swingline Borrowings,
prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of such prepayment. Each such
notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such
prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be
prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the
aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the
amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.14(e); provided, that if a
Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts required
pursuant to Section 2.20. Each partial prepayment of any Loan (other than a
Swingline Loan) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an
advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to Section 2.3 or in
the case of a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.6. Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

                  SECTION 2.13.  INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

                  SECTION 2.14.  INTEREST ON LOANS.

                  (a) The Borrower shall pay interest on each Base Rate Loan at
the Base Rate in effect from time to time and on each Eurodollar Loan at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period in effect for such Loan,
plus, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the Applicable Margin in effect from
time to time.

                  (b) The Borrower shall pay interest on each Swingline Loan at
the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

                  (c) While an Event of Default exists or after acceleration, at
the option of the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall pay interest ("Default
Interest") with respect to all Eurodollar Loans at the rate otherwise applicable
for the then-current Interest Period plus an additional 2% per annum until the
last day of such Interest Period, and thereafter, and with respect to all Base
Rate Loans (including all Swingline Loans) and all other Obligations hereunder
(other than Loans), at an all-in rate in effect for Base Rate Loans, plus an
additional 2% per annum.

                  (d) Interest on the principal amount of all Loans shall accrue
from and including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any
repayment thereof. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December
and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Interest on all outstanding
Eurodollar Loans shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable thereto, and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans having an Interest
Period in excess

                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>

of three months, on each day which occurs every three months, after the initial
date of such Interest Period, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
Interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable on the maturity date of such
Loan, which shall be the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and
on the Swingline Termination Date. Interest on any Loan which is converted into
a Loan of another Type or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the
date of such conversion or on the date of any such repayment or prepayment (on
the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall be payable on
demand.

                  (e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest
rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in
writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 2.15.  FEES.

                  (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its
own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon in
writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

                  (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the
Applicable Percentage per annum (determined daily in accordance with Schedule I)
on the daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the
Availability Period. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the
last day of each March, June, September and December of each year and on the
Revolving Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date after
the Closing Date. For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the
Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed
used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure, but not
Swingline Exposure, of such Lender.

                  (c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of each Lender, a letter of credit fee with respect to
its participation in each Letter of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per
annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans then in effect on the
average daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to such Letter of
Credit during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter
of Credit to but excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is
drawn in full (including without limitation any LC Exposure that remains
outstanding after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) and (ii) to the
Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate
of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding
any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the
Availability Period (or until the date that such Letter of Credit is irrevocably
cancelled, whichever is later), as well as the Issuing Bank's standard fees with
respect to issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
processing of drawings thereunder. For purposes of the foregoing, the Existing
Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued by the Issuing Bank under
this Agreement on the Closing Date, and the Borrower agrees to pay all such
letter of credit fees and fronting fees in respect of such Existing Letters of
Credit on the dates set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Required Lenders elect to increase the interest rate on the Loans to the Default

                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>

Interest pursuant to Section 2.14(d), the rate per annum used to calculate the
letter of credit fee pursuant to clause (i) above shall automatically be
increased by an additional 2% per annum.

                  (d) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the ratable benefit of each Lender, the upfront closing fees previously agreed
upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, which shall be due and
payable on the Closing Date.

                  (e) Accrued fees (other than the closing fee referenced in
paragraph (d)) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
March, June, September and December, commencing on June 30, 2004 and on the
Revolving Commitment Termination Date (and if later, the date the Loans and LC
Exposure shall be repaid in their entirety).

                  SECTION 2.16. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. All
computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year
of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are
payable (to the extent computed on the basis of days elapsed). Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest amount or fee hereunder
shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final,
conclusive and binding for all purposes.

                  SECTION 2.17. INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATES. If prior
to the commencement of any Interest Period for
any Eurodollar Borrowing,

                  (i)      the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
         determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that,
         by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market,
         adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest
         Period, or

                  (ii)     the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
         from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate does not
         adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender, as
         the case may be) of making, funding or maintaining their (or its, as
         the case may be) Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period, the
         Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice,
         promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as
         soon as practicable thereafter. In the case of Eurodollar Loans, until
         the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that
         the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the
         obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or to
         continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans shall
         be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into
         Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period
         applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays such Loans in accordance
         with this Agreement. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative
         Agent at least one Business Day before the date of any Eurodollar
         Revolving Borrowing for which a Notice of Revolving Borrowing has
         previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, then
         such Revolving Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

                  SECTION 2.18. ILLEGALITY. If any Change in Law shall make it
unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar
Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof

                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>

to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar
Revolving Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into
Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing, such Lender's Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate
Loan as part of the same Revolving Borrowing for the same Interest Period and if
the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted
to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue
to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall
determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to
such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to
giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice
and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in
the good faith exercise of its discretion.

                  SECTION 2.19.  INCREASED COSTS.

                  (a) If any Change in Law shall:

                           (i)      impose, modify or deem applicable any
         reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise
         included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder
         against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
         extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected
         in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

                           (ii)     impose on any Lender or on the Issuing Bank
         or the eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting this
         Agreement or any Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
         Credit or any participation therein; and the result of the foregoing is
         to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into,
         continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to increase the cost to
         such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in or issuing any
         Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such
         Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
         any other amount), then the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written
         notice from and demand by such Lender on the Borrower (with a copy of
         such notice and demand to the Administrative Agent), to the
         Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within five
         Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional
         amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing
         Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
         reduction suffered.

                  (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined
that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital (or on the capital of such Lender's or
the Issuing Bank's parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that
which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's
parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies or the policies of
such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's parent corporation

                                     - 31 -
<PAGE>

with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within five (5)
Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand by such Lender
(with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to
such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's parent corporation for any
such reduction suffered.

                  (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's parent corporation, as the case may
be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay any such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, such amount or amounts within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

                  (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing
Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation.

                  SECTION 2.20. FUNDING INDEMNITY. In the event of (a) the
payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by
the Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the
date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is
withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate
each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such
Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of
a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an
amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan
if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such
Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of
the then current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to
borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest
Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would
accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period if
the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or
converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or
continue such Eurodollar Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable
under this Section 2.20 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

                  SECTION 2.21. TAXES.

                  (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the Borrower shall be
required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or 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, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (as
the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been

                                     - 32 -
<PAGE>

made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.

                  (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                  (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent,
each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within five (5) Business Days after written
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) 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 Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

                  (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower 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) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from
or reduction of withholding tax under the Code or any treaty to which the United
States is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver
to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees
that it will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or in the
case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall
have been purchased), as appropriate, two (2) duly completed copies of (i)
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying
that the payments received from the Borrower hereunder are effectively connected
with such Foreign Lender's conduct of a trade or business in the United States;
or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form thereto,
certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of
withholding tax on payments of interest; or (iii) Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,
together with a certificate (A) establishing that the payment to the Foreign
Lender qualifies as "portfolio interest" exempt from U.S. withholding tax under
Code section 871(h) or 881(c), and (B) stating that (1) the Foreign Lender is
not a bank for purposes of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), or the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder is not, with respect to such Foreign Lender, a loan agreement
entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within the meaning
of that section; (2) the Foreign Lender is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower
within the meaning of Code section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B); and (3) the
Foreign Lender is not a controlled foreign

                                     - 33 -
<PAGE>

corporation that is related to the Borrower within the meaning of Code section
881(c)(3)(C); or (iv) such other Internal Revenue Service forms as may be
applicable to the Foreign Lender, including Forms W-8 IMY or W-8 EXP. Each such
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such
forms on or before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (or in the
case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the
related participation). In addition, each such Foreign Lender shall deliver such
forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each such Foreign Lender shall promptly notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time that it determines that it
is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to
the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the Internal Revenue
Service for such purpose).

                  SECTION 2.22. PAYMENTS GENERALLY; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING
                                OF SET-OFFS.

                  (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made
by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC
Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, or
otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time), on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off,
counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly
to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except
that payments pursuant to Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 and 10.3 shall be made
directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person
to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment
hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any
payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period
of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

                  (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds
shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards
payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

                  (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or
Swingline Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in
LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion (each a "Purchasing Lender") shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Revolving

                                     - 34 -
<PAGE>

Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other
Lenders to the extent necessary 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 Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided, that (i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered or the Purchasing Lender is otherwise required
to return or restore any such payment, such participations shall be rescinded
and each other Lender shall, promptly after request from the Administrative
Agent or the Purchasing Lender, return to the Purchasing Lender the purchase
price for such participation to the extent of such recovery or the amount
otherwise returned or restored by the Purchasing Lender, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for
the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower
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 the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

                  (d) 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 Issuing Bank
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 Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount or amounts due. In such event,
if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or Issuing Bank 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 greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation.

                  (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to
be made by it pursuant to Section 2.6(b), 2.24(c) or (d), 2.7(b), 2.22(c) or (d)
or 10.3(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy
such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid.

                  SECTION 2.23. MITIGATION OF OBLIGATIONS. If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.19, 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 2.21, 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,

                                     - 35 -
<PAGE>

branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under
Section 2.19 or Section 2.21, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such
designation or assignment.

                  SECTION 2.24. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                  (a) During the Availability Period, the Issuing Bank, in
reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.24(d),
agrees to issue, at the request of the Borrower, Letters of Credit for the
account of the Borrower on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
provided, that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (A) the
date one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or in the
case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the
Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (ii) the Borrower may not request any
Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect to such issuance (A) the aggregate LC
Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or (B) the aggregate LC Exposure, plus
the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans of all Lenders
would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount. Upon the issuance of
each Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank without recourse a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Revolving
Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such
participation.

                  (b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any
amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the
Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent irrevocable
written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of
such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of
Credit is to be issued (or amended, extended or renewed, as the case may be),
the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of
Credit , the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter
of Credit. In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions in Article III, the
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or any amendment which increases the amount
of such Letter of Credit) will be subject to the further conditions that such
Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as the Issuing
Bank shall approve and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered any
additional applications, agreements and instruments relating to such Letter of
Credit as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require; provided, that in the event
of any conflict between such applications, agreements or instruments and this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

                  (c) At least two Business Days prior to the issuance of any
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received such
notice and if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a
copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the
Administrative Agent on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the
date the Issuing Bank is to issue the requested Letter of Credit (1) directing
the Issuing Bank not to issue the

                                     - 36 -
<PAGE>

Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted hereunder because
of the limitations set forth in Section 2.24(a) or that one or more conditions
specified in Article III are not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue such
Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Bank's usual and customary
business practices. Within five (5) Business Days of issuing such Letter of
Credit in accordance herewith, the Issuing Bank shall advise each Lender of the
issuance and amount of such Letter of Credit.

                  (d) The Issuing Bank shall examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit promptly following its
receipt thereof. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has
made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to
give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to such LC
Disbursement. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursements paid by the Issuing Bank in
respect of such drawing, without presentment, demand or other formalities of any
kind. Unless the Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day
immediately prior to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrower
intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing in funds
other than from the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have timely given a Notice of Revolving Borrowing to the Administrative Agent
requesting the Lenders to make a Base Rate Borrowing on the date on which such
drawing is honored in an exact amount due to the Issuing Bank; provided, that
for purposes solely of such Borrowing, the conditions precedents set forth in
Section 3.2 hereof shall not be applicable. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Lenders of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3, and each
Lender shall make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in
accordance with Section 2.7. The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied
directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such LC
Disbursement.

                  (e) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as
determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the
Issuing Bank) shall be obligated to fund the participation that such Lender
purchased pursuant to subsection (a) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of
such LC Disbursement on and as of the date which such Base Rate Borrowing should
have occurred. Each Lender's obligation to fund its participation shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have against the Issuing
Bank or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a
Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by
the Borrower or any other Lender, (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. On the date that such
participation is required to be funded, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in
immediately available funds, the amount of its participation to the
Administrative Agent for the

                                     - 37 -
<PAGE>

account of the Issuing Bank. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has
received from any such Lender the funds for its participation in a LC
Disbursement, the Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf)
receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of
such payment; provided, that if such payment is required to be returned for any
reason to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or
similar official in any bankruptcy proceeding, such Lender will return to the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank any portion thereof previously
distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to it.

                  (f) To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount
required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.24 on the due
date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the Issuing Bank (through the
Administrative Agent) on such amount from such due date to the date such payment
is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate; provided, that if
such Lender shall fail to make such payment to the Issuing Bank within three (3)
Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Lender
shall be obligated to pay interest on such amount at the Default Rate.

                  (g) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent
or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to
this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative
Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of
such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon; provided, that the
obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately,
and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or
notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to
the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 8.1. Such deposit shall
be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the
exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Borrower agrees to execute any
documents and/or certificates to effectuate the intent of this paragraph. Other
than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments
shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and
at the Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it had not been
reimbursed and to the extent so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of
the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time
or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, with the consent of the
Required Lenders, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required to
provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of
an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not so applied as aforesaid)
shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of
Default have been cured or waived.

                  (h) The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements
hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the

                                     - 38 -
<PAGE>

terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of
any of the following circumstances:

                  (i)      Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter
         of Credit or this Agreement;

                  (ii)     The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
         right which the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower
         may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any
         Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such
         beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any Lender (including the
         Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with this
         Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or
         thereto or any unrelated transaction;

                  (iii)    Any draft or other document presented under a Letter
         of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or
         any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

                  (iv)     Payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
         against presentation of a draft or other document to the Issuing Bank
         that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

                  (v)      Any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether
         or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
         provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge
         of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations
         hereunder; or

                  (vi)     The existence of a Default or an Event of Default.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any Related
Party of any of the foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit
or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of
the circumstances referred to above), or any error, omission, interruption, loss
or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication
under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to
make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or
any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;
provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank
from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any actual direct damages (as
opposed to special, indirect (including claims for lost profits or other
consequential damages), or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to
exercise due care when determining whether drafts or other documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto
expressly agree, that in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised due care in
each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the
terms of a Letter of

                                     - 39 -
<PAGE>

Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make
payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation,
regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance
with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

                  (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform
Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International
Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the same may be amended from time to
time, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the governing law of this
Agreement set forth in Section 10.5.

                  (j) The parties acknowledge and agree that, for all purposes
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Existing Letters of Credit
shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder to the same extent, and with
the same effect, as if such Existing Letters of Credit had been issued as
Letters of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.24 on the Closing Date.

                  SECTION 2.25. EXTENSION OF COMMITMENT TERMINATION DATE.

                  (a) At least 60 but not more than 90 days prior to the first
two anniversaries of the Closing Date, the Borrower, by delivering a written
request to the Administrative Agent (such request being irrevocable), may
request that the Revolving Commitment Termination Date be extended for an
additional one-year period. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly communicate such request to the Lenders.

                  (b) No earlier than 60 days prior, and no later than 45 days
prior, to such anniversary, the Lenders shall indicate to the Administrative
Agent whether the Borrower's request to so extend such Revolving Commitment
Termination Date is acceptable to the Lenders, it being understood that the
determination by each Lender will be in its sole and absolute discretion and
that the failure of any Lender to so respond within such period shall be deemed
to constitute a refusal by such Lender to consent to such request, with the
result being that such request is denied (any Lender refusing or deemed to
refuse any such request, a "Non-Consenting Lender"). The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower, in writing, of the Lenders' decisions no later than
30 days prior to such anniversary.

                  (c) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 3.2, in the event that the sum of the Revolving Commitments of the
Lenders that have consented to the Borrower's request to extend the Revolving
Commitment Termination Date (the "Consenting Lenders") plus the Revolving
Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders with respect to such request that have
been assigned to Consenting Lenders or Eligible Assignees pursuant to Section
10.4(b) shall constitute at least 80% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments,
the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be extended for an additional
one-year period; provided, however, that unless assigned to Consenting Lenders
or other Eligible Assignees pursuant to Section 10.4(b), the Revolving
Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders shall automatically terminate in
accordance with Section 2.25(d). If any Lender refuses or is deemed to refuse to
extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date for its Revolving Commitment, 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 set forth in
Section 10.4(b)) all its interests, rights and obligations under this

                                     - 40 -
<PAGE>

Agreement to a Consenting Lender or to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume
such Revolving Commitment; provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed
to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to
it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts),
(iii) assignments of Revolving Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders to
Consenting Lenders and Eligible Assignees shall be made in a manner that
allocates all such Revolving Commitments pro rata among such Consenting Lenders
and Eligible Assignees and (iv) such assignments are completed no later than
sixty days after such anniversary; provided, further, that before the Borrower
may solicit any institution other than the Consenting Lenders to purchase any
Non-Consenting Lender's Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 10.4(b), the
Consenting Lenders shall have the option, exercised in their sole discretion and
allocated pro rata among such Consenting Lenders, to purchase by assignment the
Revolving Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders, and each Consenting Lender
shall, at least 15 days before such anniversary, notify the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower of its determination of whether or not to purchase any
Revolving Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lenders.

                  (d) If the Borrower requests an extension of the then existing
Revolving Credit Termination Date (the "Existing Termination Date") pursuant to
this Section, and there are any Non-Consenting Lenders whose Revolving
Commitments are not assigned to a Consenting Lender or Eligible Assignee
pursuant to this Section 2.25, then the Revolving Commitment of each
Non-Consenting Lender shall automatically terminate on such Existing Termination
Date, without any further action by, or notice given to, any party, and the
Borrower shall pay to each such Non-Consenting Lender on such Existing
Termination Date the principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by such
Non-Consenting Lender, together with all interest, fees, breakage costs and
other amounts accrued to such date.

                  SECTION 2.26. REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.19, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority of the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation
to fund Loans hereunder, 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 set forth in Section 10.4(b) all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided, that (i) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of
all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case
of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of a claim for compensation under
Section 2.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.21, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender

                                     - 41 -
<PAGE>

or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

                  (c)      since the date of the financial statements of the

obligations between Borrower, its Subsidiaries, Holdings, Lenders and
Administrative Agent accruing from and after the Closing Date;

                  (b)      this Agreement shall not in any way release or impair
the rights, duties or obligations created pursuant to the Existing Credit
Agreement and any other Loan Document (as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement) or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the extent
in force and effect thereunder as of the Closing Date and except as modified
hereby or by documents, instruments and agreements executed and delivered in

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  Each of Holdings and the Borrower represents and warrants to
the Administrative Agent and each Lender as follows:

                  SECTION 4.1. EXISTENCE; POWER. Each of Holdings, Borrower and
its Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as
a corporation, partnership or limited liability company under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to
carry on its business as now conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do
business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where such qualification
is required, except where a failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 4.2. ORGANIZATIONAL POWER; AUTHORIZATION. The
execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party are within such Loan Party's organizational powers and have
been duly authorized by all necessary organizational, and if required,
shareholder, partner or member, action. This Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the Borrower, and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to
which any Loan Party is a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party,
will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower or such Loan
Party (as the case may be), enforceable against it in accordance with their
respective terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.

                  SECTION 4.3. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS; NO CONFLICTS. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower and Holdings of this
Agreement, and by each Loan Party of the other Loan Documents to which it is a
party (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing
with, or any action by, any Governmental Authority, except those as have

                                     - 45 -
<PAGE>

been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any
Requirements of Law applicable to Holdings, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or any judgment, order or ruling of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not
violate or result in a default under any indenture, material agreement or other
material instrument binding on any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any
of its assets or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be
made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries and (d) will not result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, except Liens (if any) created under the Loan Documents.

            SECTION 4.4. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Borrower has furnished to
each Lender (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended
prepared by KPMG LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2004, and the related unaudited
consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Fiscal Quarter and
year-to-date period then ending, certified by a Responsible Officer. Such
financial statements fairly present the consolidated financial condition of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the consolidated results of
operations for such periods in conformity with GAAP consistently applied,
subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case
of the statements referred to in clause (ii). Since December 31, 2003, there
have been no changes with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
which have had or could reasonably be expected to have, singly or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

            SECTION 4.5. LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. (a) No
litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrators or
Governmental Authorities is pending against or, to the knowledge of Holdings or
the Borrower, threatened against or affecting any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination that could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which in any manner draws
into question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.

            (b) Except for the matters set forth on Schedule 4.5, no Loan Party
nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law
or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval
required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any
Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to
any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental
Liability, where any such event or circumstance described in clauses (i) through
(iv) above could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

            SECTION 4.6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND AGREEMENTS. Each Loan Party
and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with (a) all Requirements of Law
and all judgments, decrees and orders of any Governmental Authority and (b) all
indentures, agreements or other instruments binding upon it or its properties,
except where non-compliance, either singly or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                                     - 46 -
<PAGE>

            SECTION 4.7. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT, ETC. Neither any Loan Party nor
any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment company" or is "controlled" by an
"investment company", as such terms are defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (b) a "holding company"
as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, as amended or (c) otherwise subject to any other regulatory
scheme limiting its ability to incur debt or requiring any approval or consent
from or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority in connection
therewith.

            SECTION 4.8. TAXES. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and each
other Person for whose taxes any Loan Party or any Subsidiary could become
liable have timely filed or caused to be filed all Federal income tax returns
and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them, and
have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any
assessments made against it or its property and all other taxes, fees or other
charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority,
except where the same are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be,
has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The
charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Loan Parties and their
Subsidiaries in respect of such taxes are adequate, and no tax liabilities that
could be materially in excess of the amount so provided are anticipated.

            SECTION 4.9. MARGIN REGULATIONS. None of the proceeds of any of the
Loans or Letters of Credit will be used, directly or indirectly, for
"purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" with the respective meanings of
each of such terms under Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any
purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation U. None of the Loan Parties
or their Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying "margin stock."

            SECTION 4.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for
which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most
recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than
$10,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present
value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on
the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Standards No. 87)
did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such
amounts, exceed by more than $10,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of
all such underfunded Plans.

            SECTION 4.11. OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY.

            (a) Each of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries has good title
to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its real and personal property
material to the operation of its business, including all such material
properties reflected in the most recent audited consolidated balance sheet of
the Holdings referred to in Section 4.4 or purported to have been acquired by
the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise
disposed of in the

                                     - 47 -
<PAGE>

ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by
this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the aggregate are material to
the business or operations of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries are valid
and subsisting and are in full force and effect.

            (b) Each of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries owns, or is
licensed, or otherwise has the right, to use, all patents, trademarks, service
marks, trade names, copyrights and other intellectual property material to its
business, and the use thereof by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries does
not infringe on the rights of any other Person, except for any such
infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

            (c) The properties of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries are
insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies which are not
Affiliates of Holdings, subject to the self-insurance provisions contained in
Section 5.8, in such amounts with such deductibles and covering such risks as
are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning
similar properties in localities where the Loan Parties or the applicable
Subsidiary operates.

            SECTION 4.12. DISCLOSURE. Holdings and the Borrower has disclosed to
the Lenders all agreements, instruments, and corporate or other restrictions to
which each Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other
matters known to any of them, that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Information Memorandum nor any of the reports (including without limitation all
reports that Holdings is required to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission), financial statements, certificates or other information furnished
by or on behalf of Holdings or the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in connection with the negotiation or syndication of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or
supplemented by any other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, taken as a whole, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading; provided, that with respect to projected
financial information, Holdings and the Borrower represent only that such
information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time.

            SECTION 4.13. LABOR RELATIONS. There are no strikes, lockouts or
other material labor disputes or grievances against any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of Holdings or Borrower, threatened against
or affecting any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and no significant
unfair labor practice, charges or grievances are pending against any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of Holdings or Borrower,
threatened against any of them before any Governmental Authority. All payments
due from any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of
any collective bargaining agreement have been paid or accrued as a liability on
the books of any such Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, except where the
failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

            SECTION 4.14. SUBSIDIARIES. Schedule 4.14 sets forth the name of,
the ownership interest of Holdings and the Borrower in, the jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization of, and

                                     - 48 -
<PAGE>

the type of, each Subsidiary and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary
Loan Party, in each case as of the Closing Date.

            SECTION 4.15. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

            SECTION 4.16. INSOLVENCY. After giving effect to the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of the Loans under this Agreement,
and the repayment of the Refinanced Indebtedness, none of the Loan Parties will
be "insolvent," within the meaning of such term as defined in Section 101 of
Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time, or be unable
to pay its debts generally as such debts become due, or have an unreasonably
small capital to engage in any business or transaction, whether current or
contemplated.

            SECTION 4.17. OFAC. No Loan Party (i) is a person whose property or
interest in property is blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of
Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting
Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism
(66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)), (ii) engages in any dealings or transactions
prohibited by Section 2 of such executive order, or is otherwise associated with
any such person in any manner violative of Section 2, or (iii) is a person on
the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons or subject to the
limitations or prohibitions under any other U.S. Department of Treasury's Office
of Foreign Assets Control regulation or executive order.

            SECTION 4.18. PATRIOT ACT. Each Loan Party is in compliance, in all
material respects, with the (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and
each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury
Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling
legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the Uniting And
Strengthening America By Providing Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept And
Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001). No part of the proceeds of the
Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental
official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate
for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to
obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation
of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

                                   ARTICLE V

                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Fiscal Year of Holdings, a copy of the annual audited report for such Fiscal
Year for Holdings and its Subsidiaries, containing a consolidated balance sheet

related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows
(together with all footnotes thereto) of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for such
Fiscal Year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the
previous Fiscal Year, all in reasonable detail and reported on by KPMG LLP or
other independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing (without
a "going concern" or like qualification, exception or explanation and without
any qualification or exception as to scope of such audit) to the effect that
such financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial
condition and the results of operations of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for
such Fiscal Year on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and that the
examination by such accountants in connection with such consolidated financial
statements has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards;

            (b) so long as Holdings is required to file periodic reports under
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

            (e) promptly following any request therefor, such other information
regarding the results of operations, business affairs and financial condition of
any Loan Party or any Subsidiary as the Administrative Agent, on behalf of any
Lender, may reasonably request.

      So long as Holdings is required to file periodic reports under Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
Borrower may satisfy its obligation to deliver the financial statements referred

Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws,
rules, regulations and requirements of any Governmental Authority applicable to
its business and properties, including without limitation, all Environmental

           SECTION 5.5. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. Each of Holdings and the
Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay and discharge at
or before maturity, all of its material obligations and liabilities (including

<PAGE>

could result in a statutory Lien) before the same shall become delinquent or in
default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) Holdings, the Borrower or such
Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in
accordance with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest

            SECTION 5.6. BOOKS AND RECORDS. Each of Holdings and the Borrower
will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record
and account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all

conformity with GAAP.

            SECTION 5.7. VISITATION, INSPECTION, ETC. Each of Holdings and the
Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any
representative of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to visit and inspect

reasonably request after reasonable prior notice to the Borrower.

            SECTION 5.8. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES; INSURANCE. Each of Holdings
and the Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) keep and
maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good working

failure to do so, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) maintain with
financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance with respect to
its properties and business, and the properties and business of its
Subsidiaries, against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by
companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar
locations; provided, that Holdings, Borrower and any Subsidiary may self-insure
against any risk required to be insured pursuant to this Section in an aggregate
amount of up to $5,000,000 per occurrence and, provided, further, that in the
event that Holdings, Borrower or any Subsidiary self-insures against any risks
required to be insured against pursuant to this Section in an aggregate amount

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

            SECTION 5.9. USE OF PROCEEDS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT. The Borrower

repurchase of shares of Capital Stock of Holdings and for other general
corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds
of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that
would violate any rule or regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, including Regulations T, U or X. All Letters of Credit will be
used for general corporate purposes.

            SECTION 5.10. ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARIES. (a) If any Subsidiary becomes
a Material Subsidiary after the Closing Date, or any Material Subsidiary is
acquired or formed

                                     - 52 -
<PAGE>

after the Closing Date, the Borrower will, within ten (10) Business Days after
any such Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary, or such Material Subsidiary
is acquired or formed, notify the Administrative Agent thereof and will cause
such Material Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Loan Party.

      (b) If, at any time, the aggregate revenue or assets (on a
non-consolidated basis) of Holdings, the Borrower and those Subsidiaries that
are then Subsidiary Loan Parties are less than the Aggregate Subsidiary
Threshold, then the Borrower shall cause one or more other Subsidiaries to
become additional Subsidiary Loan Parties, as provided in this Section 5.10,
within ten (10) Business Days after such revenues or assets become less than the
Aggregate Subsidiary Threshold so that after including the revenue or assets of
any such additional Subsidiary Loan Parties, the aggregate revenue or assets (on
a non-consolidated basis) of Holdings, the Borrower and all such Subsidiary Loan
Parties would equal or exceed the Aggregate Subsidiary Threshold.

      (c) The Borrower may elect at any time to have any Subsidiary become an
additional Subsidiary Loan Party as provided in this Section 5.10.

      (d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of

written confirmation of such direction from the Administrative Agent.

      (e) A Subsidiary shall become an additional Subsidiary Loan Party by
executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Subsidiary Guaranty
Supplement and an Indemnity and Contribution Agreement Supplement, accompanied
by (i) all other Loan Documents related thereto, (ii) certified copies of
certificates or articles of incorporation or organization, by-laws, membership
operating agreements, and other organizational documents, appropriate
authorizing resolutions of the board of directors of such Subsidiaries, and

            (k) any judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of
$50,000,000 in the aggregate, to the extent not covered by a third-party
insurance carrier that has acknowledged coverage, shall be rendered against
Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, and either (i) enforcement proceedings
shall have been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or order or (ii)
there shall be a period of 30 consecutive days during which a stay of
enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or
otherwise, shall not be in effect; or

            (l) any non-monetary judgment or order shall be rendered against
Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, and there shall be a period of 30 consecutive
days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of
a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; or

            (m) a Change in Control shall occur or exist; or

state in writing, or any Loan Party shall seek to terminate its Subsidiary
Guaranty Agreement;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to Holdings or
the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of this Section) and at any time
thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may,
and upon the written request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the
Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different
times: (i) terminate the Commitments, whereupon the Commitment of each Lender
shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the principal of and any accrued
interest on the Loans, and all other Obligations owing hereunder, to be,
whereupon the same shall become, due and payable immediately, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by Holdings and the Borrower, (iii) exercise all remedies
contained in any other Loan Document and (iv) exercise any other remedies
available at law or in equity; and that, if an Event of Default specified in
either clause (g) or (h) shall occur, the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued
interest thereon, and all fees, and all other Obligations shall automatically
become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Holdings and the Borrower.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

            SECTION 9.1. APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. (a) Each Lender
irrevocably appoints SunTrust Bank as the Administrative Agent and authorizes it
to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
together with all such actions and powers that are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-agents or
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions set forth in this Article shall apply to any
such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact and the Related Parties of the Administrative
Agent, any such sub-agent and any such attorney-in-fact 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.

            (b) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect
to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith
until such time and except for so long as the Administrative Agent may agree at
the request of the Required Lenders to act for the Issuing Bank with respect
thereto; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall have all the benefits and
immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with
respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in
connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it
and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the
Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in this
Article IX included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions and
(ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing
Bank.

            SECTION 9.2. NATURE OF DUTIES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement

                                     - 63 -
<PAGE>

and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan
Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2), and (c)
except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
that is communicated to or obtained by 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, its sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 10.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it
with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice
thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a
"Default" or "Event of Default" hereunder) is given to the Administrative Agent
by the Borrower or any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as a Lender), and 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 any 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 and conditions
set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or
elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower) concerning
all matters pertaining to such duties.

            SECTION 9.3. LACK OF RELIANCE ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Each of
the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of
the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking of any
action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

            SECTION 9.4. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. If the
Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with
respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection
with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from
such act or taking such act, unless and

                                     - 64 -
<PAGE>

until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders; and the
Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so
refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of
action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the
Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance
with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of
this Agreement.

            SECTION 9.5. 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by
the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrower), independent public 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 such counsel, accountants or experts.

            SECTION 9.6. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same
as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the terms "Lenders",
"Required Lenders", "holders of Notes", or any similar terms shall, unless the
context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity. The bank acting as the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

            SECTION 9.7. SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. (a) The Administrative
Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval by the
Borrower provided that no Default or Event of Default shall exist at such time.
If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws
of the United States of America or any state thereof or a bank which maintains
an office in the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $500,000,000.

            (b) Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of
the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation under this Section 9.7 no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent's
resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall
thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations

                                     - 65 -
<PAGE>

under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform
all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until
such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article IX shall continue in effect for the benefit of
such retiring Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in respect
of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the
Administrative Agent.

            SECTION 9.8. AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all
Lenders all Loan Documents other than this Agreement.

            SECTION 9.9. DOCUMENTATION AGENT; SYNDICATION AGENT. Each Lender
hereby designates U.S. Bank National Association and LaSalle Bank National
Association as Co-Documentation Agents and agrees that the Co-Documentation
Agents shall have no duties or obligations under any Loan Documents to any
Lender or any Loan Party. Each Lender hereby designates Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association and KeyBank National Association as Co-Syndication Agents
and agrees that the Co- Syndication Agents shall have no duties or obligations
under any Loan Documents to any Lender or any Loan Party.

                                           Assignment and Acceptance Agreement
                                           executed by such Lender

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices
and other communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, or
faxed, be effective when delivered for overnight (next-day) delivery, or
transmitted in legible form by facsimile machine, respectively, or if mailed,
upon the third Business Day after the date deposited into the mail or if
delivered, upon delivery; provided, that notices delivered to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank shall not be effective until
actually received by such Person at its address specified in this Section 10.1.

            (b) Any agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein
to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the
convenience and at the request of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to
be a Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice and the
Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrower or
other Person on

                                     - 67 -
<PAGE>

account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of
the Borrower to repay the Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall not be
affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile
notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of a
confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be contained in any such telephonic or
facsimile notice.

            SECTION 10.2. WAIVER; AMENDMENTS. (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default,
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank
may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the
time.

            (b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (and, if the Administrative Agent
executes and delivers any such amendment, waiver or consent which states that it
is being provided by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such with the
consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall be entitled to rely thereon)
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no amendment or
waiver shall: (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written
consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii)
postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any
Loan or LC Disbursement or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the
amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for
the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of
each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.22 (b) or (c) in a manner
that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby , without the
written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section
or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify
any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,
without the consent of each Lender; (vi) release any guarantor or limit the
liability of

                                     - 68 -
<PAGE>

any such guarantor under any guaranty agreement, without the written consent of
each Lender; (vii) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing
any of the Obligations or agree to subordinate any Lien in such collateral to
any other creditor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, without the written
consent of each Lender; provided further, that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank without the prior
written consent of such Person.

            SECTION 10.3. EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Borrower shall pay
(i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent
and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or
waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement
or any other Loan Document shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand
for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of outside counsel and the allocated cost of inside counsel) incurred by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or
any Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

            (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
(each, an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and
all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages and related expenses, including
the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, which may
be incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection
with or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any
other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit
or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal
by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if
the documents presented in 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 by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify
any Indemnitee for any of the foregoing arising out of such Indemnitee's gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment.

            (c) The Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative Agent and
each of the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all present and future
stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect to this Agreement and
any other Loan Documents, any collateral

described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save the Administrative
Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with
respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

            (d) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required
to be paid to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender
under clauses (a), (b) or (c) hereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may
be, such Lender's Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified payment, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, (i) was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender in its capacity as such and (ii) did not arise solely out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or the Swingline Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and nonappealable judgment.

            (e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall
not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a
result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the
use of proceeds thereof.

            (f) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly
after written demand therefor.

            SECTION 10.4. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and
void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

            (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that
(i) except 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
with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Loan
or reimbursement obligation of outstanding Letters of Credit,

                                     - 70 -
<PAGE>

unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each partial assignment shall
be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the
Commitment assigned, and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with
a processing and recordation fee of $1,000, and the Eligible Assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. Upon (i) the execution and delivery of the
Assignment and Acceptance by the assigning Lender and assignee Lender, (ii)
acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section, (iii) consent thereof from the Borrower to the
extent required pursuant to this clause (b) and (iv) if such assignee Lender is
a Foreign Lender, compliance by such Person with Section 2.21(e), from and after
the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible
Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance 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 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.3. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this paragraph 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 paragraph (d) of this Section.

            (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Atlanta, Georgia
a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender 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.

            (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank or the Issuing Bank sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (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 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 Swingline Bank, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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,
modification or waiver with respect to the following to the extent affecting
such

                                     - 71 -
<PAGE>

Participant: (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written
consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii)
postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any
Loan or LC Disbursement or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the
amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for
the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of
each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.22(b) or (c) in a manner
that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby , without the
written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section
or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify
any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,
without the consent of each Lender; (vi) release any guarantor or limit the
liability of any such guarantor under any guaranty agreement without the written
consent of each Lender except to the extent such release is expressly provided
under the terms of the Guaranty Agreement; or (vii) release all or substantially
all collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations. Subject to paragraph
(e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, and 2.21 to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.7 as though it were a
Lender.

            (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.19 and Section 2.21 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with 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 2.21
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 2.21(e) as though it were a Lender.

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

            SECTION 10.5. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF
PROCESS. (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in
accordance with and be governed by the law (without giving effect to the
conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of New York.

            (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States
District Court of the Southern District of New York, and of any state court of
the State of Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York county
and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or

                                     - 72 -
<PAGE>

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition
or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court
or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the
Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

            (c) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such
suit, action or proceeding described in paragraph (b) of this Section and
brought in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the
parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

            (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service
of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party
hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

            SECTION 10.6. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF
THIS 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 PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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.

            SECTION 10.7. RIGHT OF SETOFF. In addition to any rights now or
hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such
rights, each Lender and the Issuing Bank shall have the right, at any time or
from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly
waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and
apply against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) of the Borrower at any time held or other obligations at any time owing
by such Lender and the Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all Obligations held by

                                     - 73 -
<PAGE>

such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, irrespective of whether
such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have made demand hereunder and although
such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agree
promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower after any such
set-off and any application made by such Lender and the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application.

            SECTION 10.8. COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION. This Agreement may be
executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of
separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts
taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This
Agreement, the Fee Letter, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter
agreement(s) relating to any fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute
the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto regarding the subject
matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matters.

            SECTION 10.9. SURVIVAL. All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans
and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by
any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any
credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as
long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any
other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any
Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired
or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, and 10.3 and Article
IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. All
representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates, reports,
notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and
the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.

            SECTION 10.10. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality,
validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and
the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

            SECTION 10.11. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable
precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any information designated in
writing as confidential and provided to it by the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
except that such information may be disclosed (i) to any Related Party of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any such Lender, including without

                                     - 74 -
<PAGE>

limitation accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (ii) to the extent
required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority,
(iv) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than
as a result of a breach of this Section, or which becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Related Party of any
of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of
rights hereunder, (vi) subject to provisions substantially similar to this
Section 10.11, to any actual or prospective assignee or Participant, or (vii)
with the consent of the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of any information as provided for 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 its own confidential information.

            SECTION 10.12. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may be treated as
interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the "Charges"), shall
exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the "Maximum Rate") which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding such
Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect
of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof,
shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and
Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the
interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods
shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to
the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

            SECTION 10.13. WAIVER OF EFFECT OF CORPORATE SEAL. The Borrower
represents and warrants that neither it nor any other Loan Party is required to
affix its corporate seal to this Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant
to any requirement of law or regulation, agrees that this Agreement is delivered
by Borrower under seal and waives any shortening of the statute of limitations
that may result from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such
other Loan Documents.
