time when a Lender Default exists unless the Swingline Lender has entered into
arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline
Lender's risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender's or Lenders' participation
in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting
Lender's or Lenders' RL Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans and (ii)
the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received
written notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders stating that a Default
or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline
Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices
from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of
the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.

         (e) Refunding of Swingline Loans. On any Business Day, the Swingline
Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the RL Lenders that the
Swingline Lender's outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more
Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have
been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 11.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

provided in the last paragraph of Section 11), in which case one or more
Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing,
a "Mandatory Borrowing") shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business
Day by all RL Lenders pro rata based on each such RL Lender's RL Percentage
(determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan
Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11) and the proceeds
thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline
Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each RL Lender hereby irrevocably
agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day's notice pursuant to each
Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding
sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender
notwithstanding

                  (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with
         the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder,

                  (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then
         satisfied,

                  (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists,

                  (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and

                  (v) the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such
         time.

In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the
date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the
commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the
Borrower), then each RL Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase
(as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but
adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and
prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the
outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the RL Lenders to
share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages
(determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan
Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11), provided that (x) all
interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the
Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is
required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased
participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and
(y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is
actually made, the purchasing RL Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline
Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day
from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise
have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at
the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the rate
otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder
for each day thereafter.

         2.02. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount
of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the
Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Tranche. More than one Borrowing may
occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than ten
Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the aggregate.

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

         2.03. Notice of Borrowing.

         (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) Eurodollar Loans
hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office
at least three Business Days prior notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred
hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and
Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), the Borrower shall give
the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Day's prior
notice of each Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each
case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only
if given before 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on such day. Each such notice (each a
"Notice of Borrowing"), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10,
shall be irrevocable and shall be given by the Borrower in writing, or by
telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately
completed to specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred
pursuant to such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a
Business Day), whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall
constitute Term Loans or Revolving Loans and whether the Loans being incurred
pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or,
to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans,
the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche
specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed
Borrowing, of such Lender's proportionate share thereof and of the other matters
required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of
Borrowing.

         (b) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans
hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon
(Chicago time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written
notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan
to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in
each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the
aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to
such Borrowing.

         (ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in
Section 2.01(e), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of
any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in
Section 2.01(e).

         (c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to
confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of
Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may
act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or
prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from the Chairman of
the Board, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any
Assistant Treasurer of the Borrower, or from any other authorized officer of the
Borrower designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent as
being authorized to give such notices, prior to receipt of written confirmation.
In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the
Administrative Agent's or Swingline Lender's record of the terms of such
telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be,
absent manifest error.

                                      -31-

         2.04. Disbursement of Funds. No later than 11:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on
the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline
Loans, no later than 2:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on the date specified pursuant to
Section 2.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than
12:00 Noon (Chicago time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(e)), each Lender
with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata
portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing
requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the
Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts
will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the
Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of
Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the
Borrower at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by
the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any
Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to
be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing
and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If
such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative
Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. 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. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from
such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding
amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made
available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such
corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per
annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds
Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to
such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the
rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant
to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights
which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by
such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

         2.05. Notes.

         (a) The Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on,
the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by
such Lender, also be evidenced (i) if Term Loans, by a promissory note duly
executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1,
with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a " Term Note"
and, collectively, the Term Notes"), (ii) if Revolving Loans, by a promissory
note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a
"Revolving Note" and, collectively, the "Revolving Notes"), and (iii) if
Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the
Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately
completed in conformity herewith (the "Swingline Note").

(or, if issued after the Initial Borrowing Date, be dated the date of issuance
thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Term Loans made by
such Lender on the Initial Borrowing Date (or, if issued after the Initial
Borrowing Date, be in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding
principal amount of Term Loans of such Lender at such time) and be payable in
the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on
the Term Loan Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate
clause of Section 2.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans,
as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment
as provided in Section 5.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section
5.02, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents.

         (c) [Intentionally omitted.]

         (d) The Revolving Note issued to each Lender that has a Revolving Loan
Commitment or outstanding Revolving Loans shall (i) be executed by the Borrower,
(ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the
Initial Borrowing Date (or, if issued after the Initial Borrowing Date, be dated
the date of the issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal
to the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender (or, if issued after the
termination thereof, be in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding
Revolving Loans of such Lender at such time) and be payable in the outstanding

executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the Swingline Lender or its
registered assigns and be dated the Initial Borrowing Date, (iii) be in a stated
principal amount equal to the Maximum Swingline Amount and be payable in the
outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans evidenced thereby from time
to time, (iv) mature on the Swingline Expiry Date, (v) bear interest as provided
in the appropriate clause of Section 2.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans
evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in
Section 5.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 5.02, and (vii) be
entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

         (f) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each
Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will prior to any
transfer of any of its Notes endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding
principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation
or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower's obligations in
respect of such Loans.

         2.06. Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert on any
Business Day occurring on or after the earlier of (x) June 5, 2003 and (y) the
Syndication Date, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing
Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

(other than Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section
2.06) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche)
of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another
Type of Loan, provided that,

                  (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b),
         Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last
         day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and
         no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the
         outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to
         a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
         thereto,

                  (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate
         Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or
         Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion,

                  (iii) unless the Administrative Agent has determined that the
         Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this clause (iii) shall no
         longer be applicable), prior to the 28th day after the Initial
         Borrowing Date, conversions of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans
         may only be made if any such conversion is effective on the first day
         of the first, second or third Interest Period referred to in clause (B)
         of the proviso in each of Sections 2.01(b)(ii) and 2.01(c)(i) and so
         long as such conversion does not result in a greater number of
         Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans prior to the 28th day after the Initial
         Borrowing Date as are permitted under such Sections, and

                  (iv) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result
         in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted
         under Section 2.02.

Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) at
least three Business Days prior notice (each a "Notice of Conversion")
specifying the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to
which such Loans were made and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the
Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting
any of its Loans. Upon any such conversion the proceeds thereof will be deemed
to be applied directly on the day of such conversion to prepay the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans being converted.

         2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Term Loans and Revolving
Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the
basis of their Term Loan Commitments, or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case
may be. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by
any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender
shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder,
regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

         2.08. Interest.

         (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until
the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per
annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base
Rate each as in effect from time to time.

         (b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof
until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan
pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which
shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of
the Applicable Margin plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

         (c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue
interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate
then borne by such Loans and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate
otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche from time to
time, and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit
Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2%
in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate
Loans from time to time. Interest which accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall
be payable on demand.

         (d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in
respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment
Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest
Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of
three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first
day of such Interest Period, and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on any repayment
or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand; provided,
however, that in the case of Base Rate Loans, interest shall not be payable
pursuant to preceding clause (iii) at the time of any repayment or prepayment
thereof (but shall otherwise be payable as provided in preceding clause (i))
unless the respective repayment or prepayment is made either in conjunction with
a permanent reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or with a repayment
or prepayment in full of all outstanding Loans of the respective Tranche.

         (e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent
shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the
respective Eurodollar Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final
and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

         2.09. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion
into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable
thereto) or prior to 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the third Business Day prior
to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in
the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right
to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period
(each an "Interest Period") applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest
Period shall, at the option of the Borrower (but otherwise subject to clause (B)
of the proviso to Sections 2.01(b)(ii) and 2.01(c)(i) and to clause (iii) of the
proviso to Section 2.06), be a one, two, three or six month period and, if prior

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

to the earlier of the Syndication Date and June 5, 2003, a 7-day period,
provided that (in each case):

                  (i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all
         times have the same Interest Period;

                  (ii) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall
         commence on the date of Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including
         the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each
         Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan
         shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period
         applicable thereto expires;

                  (iii) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan begins on a
         day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar
         month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall
         end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

                  (iv) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would
         otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest
         Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided,
         however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would
         otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of
         the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month,
         such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

                  (v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest
         Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of
         Default is then in existence;

                  (vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any
         Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the respective
         Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans; and

                  (vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term
         Loans shall be selected which extends beyond any date upon which a
         mandatory repayment of Term Loans will be required to be made under
         Section 5.02(b), as the case may be, if the aggregate principal amount
         of Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such
         date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
         then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required repayment.

         If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing
of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to
elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as
provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such
Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of
such current Interest Period.

         2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

         (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only
by the Administrative Agent):

                  (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any
         changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the
         interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for
         ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in
         the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

                  (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs
         or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with
         respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any change since the
         Original Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule,
         regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the
         force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and
         including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule,
         regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not
         limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any
         Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any
         other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax
         on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of such
         Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
         organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office
         is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in
         official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves
         required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation
         of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the
         Original Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar
         market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

                  (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any
         Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental
         rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender
         in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having
         force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency
         occurring after the Original Effective Date which materially and
         adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the
case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly
confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i)
above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).
Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer
be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the
Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not
yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by
the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall, subject
to Section 2.14, pay to such Lender, upon such Lender's written request
therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a
different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its
sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts
received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts
owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation
thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error,
be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the
case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified
in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time
period required by law.

         (b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and
in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in
Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then
being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by
giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the
same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the
affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days
written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to
convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that, if more than
one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated
the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

         (c) If any Lender determines that after the Original Effective Date the
introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule,
regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the
force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or
administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank
or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender's Commitments
hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower shall, subject to
Section 2.14, pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such
additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other
corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or
the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as
a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts,
each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and
attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender's
determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent
manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.
Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable
pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the
Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation
of such additional amounts.

         2.11. Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its
written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis
for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other
than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or
conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified
therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or not
withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant
to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans
pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a
date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii)
if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date
specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a
consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay its Eurodollar
Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such
Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

         2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or
(iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such
Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject
to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending
office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that
such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office
suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of
avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such
Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections
2.10, 2.06 and 5.04.

         2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans, or (y) upon the
occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or
(iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender
which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess
of those being generally charged by the other Lenders, the Borrower shall have
the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, to replace such Lender
(the "Replaced Lender") with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of
whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement
(collectively, the "Replacement Lender") and each of whom shall be required to
be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that:

                  (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section
         2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment
         and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all
         fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the
         Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall
         acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each
         case participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and,
         in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in
         respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (I) an amount equal to
         the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of
         the Replaced Lender, (II) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that
         have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender,
         together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such
         time, and (III) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid,
         Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, (y) the
         Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender's RL Percentage
         of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to
         the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced
         Lender to the Issuing Lender and (z) the Swingline Lender an amount
         equal to such Replaced Lender's RL Percentage of any Mandatory
         Borrowing to the

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

         extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender
         to the Swingline Lender, and

                  (ii) all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the
         Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described
         in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price
         has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such
         Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the
payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so
requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the
appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall
become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a
Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06
and 13.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

         2.14. Limitation on Additional Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 2.10 or 3.06, unless a Lender gives notice to the
Borrower that the Borrower is obligated to pay any amount under Section 2.10 or
3.06 within 180 days after the later of (x) the date such Lender incurs the
respective increased costs or reduction in the rate of return or (y) the date
such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased
costs or reduction in the rate of return, such Lender shall only be entitled to
be compensated for such amount by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10 or 3.06
to the extent the respective increased costs or reduction in the rate of return
are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 180 days prior to
such Lender giving notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the
respective amounts pursuant to Section 2.10 or 3.06. This Section 2.14 shall
have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than Sections 2.10
and 3.06.

                                   SECTION 3

                                LETTERS OF CREDIT

         3.01. Letters of Credit.

         (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Borrower may request that the Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to
time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 30th day prior to
the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the
benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative
for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations of the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily
used by the Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by the
Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used
by the Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by the Issuing
Lender (each such letter of credit, a "Letter of Credit" and, collectively, the
"Letters of Credit"). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and
shall be issued on a sight basis only.

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

         (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and
after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 30th day prior to the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of
Credit Request, issue for the account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of
Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a
Default or an Event of Default, provided that the Issuing Lender shall be under
no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at
the time of such issuance:

                  (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental
         authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or
         restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any
         requirement of law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or
         directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
         governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall
         prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance
         of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular
         or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of
         Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which the
         Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect
         with respect to the Issuing Lender on the date hereof, or any
         unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in
         effect with respect to the Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and
         which the Issuing Lender reasonably and in good faith deems material to
         it; or

                  (ii) the Issuing Lender shall have received from the Borrower
         or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit,
         notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

         3.02. Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no
Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the
Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on
the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at
such time would exceed either (x) $10,000,000 or (y) when added to the sum of
(I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and
(II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an
amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time and (ii) each
Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (x)
(A) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, the date which occurs 12 months
after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of
Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each
case, not beyond the third Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and (B) in the case of trade
Letters of Credit, the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance
thereof, and (y) 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

         3.03. Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.

         (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for
its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Lender at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to
the Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

by way of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C,
appropriately completed (each a "Letter of Credit Request"). Further, in
conjunction with each Letter of Credit Request, Borrower shall submit an
application and agreement for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit in
the form from time to time in use by the Issuing Lender.

         (b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a
representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be
issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section
3.02. Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower or the
Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the
conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not then satisfied, or that the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then the Issuing
Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the
requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with
the Issuing Lender's usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or
modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender
shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Participant of such
issuance, modification or amendment as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender Default
exists, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit
unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and
the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Lender's risk with respect to the
participation in Letters of Credit by the Defaulting Lender or Lenders,
including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender's or Lenders' RL
Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings.

         (c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be
less than $50,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Lender.

         3.04. Letter of Credit Participations.

         (a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Lender of any Letter
of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to
each RL Lender, other than the Issuing Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity
under this Section 3.04, a "Participant"), and each such Participant shall be
deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the
Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation, to the extent of such Participant's RL Percentage, in such Letter
of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the
Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or
guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments
or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b), it is
hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid
Drawings with respect thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the
participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages
of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

         (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Lender shall not have an obligation relative to the other Lenders other
than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of
Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially
comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action
taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with
any Letter

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

of Credit shall not create for the Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the
Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such
action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).

         (c) In the event that the Issuing Lender makes any payment under any
Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full
to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Issuing Lender shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each
Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant's RL
Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the
Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 A.M. New York time on any
Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of
Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Issuing Lender in Dollars
such Participant's RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business
Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so
made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Issuing
Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender, forthwith on
demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date
until the date such amount is paid to the Issuing Lender at the overnight
Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable
to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The
failure of any Participant to make available to the Issuing Lender its RL
Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other
Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Issuing Lender
its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date
required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Participant to make available to the Issuing Lender such
other Participant's RL Percentage of any such payment.

         (d) Whenever the Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement
obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants
pursuant to clause (c) above, the Issuing Lender shall pay to each such
Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day
funds, an amount equal to such Participant's share (based upon the proportionate
aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount
funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement
obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective
participations.

         (e) Upon the request of any Participant, the Issuing Lender shall
furnish to such Participant copies of any Letter of Credit issued by it and such
other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

         (f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the Issuing
Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and
not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following
circumstances:

                  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement
         or any of the other Credit Documents;

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other
         right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any
         time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee
         of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may
         be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other
         Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of
         Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
         transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower
         or any Subsidiary of the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such
         Letter of Credit);

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

                  (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the
         performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit
         Documents; or (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

         (g) All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued
pursuant hereto, and from and after the Restatement Effective Date shall be
subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof, it being understood
that on the Restatement Effective Date, each RL Lender shall be deemed
irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing
Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation,
to the extent of such Lender's RL Percentage, in each Existing Letter of Credit,
each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty
pertaining thereto shall be deemed to have purchased a participation in the
Existing Letters of Credit.

         3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

         (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender, by making
payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Lender under
any Letter of Credit (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed, an "Unpaid
Drawing"), not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of
notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be
required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05
shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be
due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of
any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the
amount so paid or disbursed by the Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed
prior to 11:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the date of such payment or disbursement,
from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date the
Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for
Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent
such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the third
Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or
disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 11.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or
disbursed by the

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for
Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans plus 2%, with interest to be
payable on demand. The Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice of
each Drawing under any Letter of Credit; provided that the failure to give any
such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower's
obligations hereunder.

         (b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to
reimburse the Issuing Lender with respect to drawings under Letters of Credit
(each a "Drawing") (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any
setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any Subsidiary
of the Borrower may have or have had against the beneficiary or any Lender
(including in its capacity as the Issuing Lender or as a Participant),
including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing
under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any
nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such
Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to
reimburse the Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by the Issuing Lender
under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Issuing Lender (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

         3.06. Increased Costs. If at any time after the Original Effective
Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation,
order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof
by the NAIC or any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Issuing Lender or any Participant
with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such authority (whether or
not having the force of law), shall either

                  (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit,
         capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit
         issued by the Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or

                  (ii) impose on the Issuing Lender or any Participant any other
         conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any
         Letter of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Issuing
Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter
of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Issuing
Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital
with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or
determined by reference to, the net income or profits of the Issuing Lender or
such Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is
located or any subdivision thereof or therein), then, upon the delivery of the
certificate referred to below to the Borrower by the Issuing Lender or any
Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Issuing Lender or
such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall, subject to
Section 2.14, pay to the Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

return on its capital. The Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining
that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.06, will
give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a
certificate submitted to the Borrower by the Issuing Lender or such Participant
(a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Issuing Lender or such
Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to
compensate the Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to
be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be
final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

                                   SECTION 4

                 COMMITMENT FEE; FEES; REDUCTIONS OF COMMITMENT.

         4.01. Fees.

         (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each Non-Defaulting RL Lender a commitment fee (the "Commitment
Fee") for the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but
excluding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the
Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per
annum for each day equal to the Applicable Margin (i.e., the Commitment Fee Rate
as specified in the definition of Applicable Margin) on the daily average
Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. Accrued
Commitment Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly
Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is
terminated.

         (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each RL Lender (based on each such RL Lender's respective RL
Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the "Letter of Credit
Fee") for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of
Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in
effect with respect to Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans on the
daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and
on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

         (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender, for its own
account, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the "Fronting Fee")
for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit
to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit,
computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/8 of 1% on the available Stated Amount
of such Letter of Credit. Fronting Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the next Business Day following each Quarterly Payment Date and upon
the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

         (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender, for its own
account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of
Credit, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative
charge and the reasonable expenses which the Issuing

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to
letters of credit. In addition the Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing
Lender, for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and
other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, relating to letters
of credit as from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due and
payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

         (e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, such other fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent.

         (f) Any fees due and payable under the Existing Credit Agreement shall
not be affected by any amendment that is contained in this Agreement.

         4.02. Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments.

         (a) Upon at least one Business Day's prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent
shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the
right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty, to
terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it
in part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of $500,000
in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan
Commitment, provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to
permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL Lender.

         (b) [Intentionally omitted.]

         4.03. Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.

         (a) [Intentionally omitted.]

         (b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant
to this Section 4.03, the Total Term Loan Commitment (and the Term Loan
Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Initial
Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of the Term Loans on such
date).

         (c) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant
to this Section 4.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be reduced on
April 1, 2004 by a total of $5,000,000 and shall be reduced on April 1, 2005 by
a total of $5,000,000.

         (d) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant
to this Section 4.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving
Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the earlier
of (i) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (ii) unless the Required Lenders
otherwise agree, the date on which a Change of Control occurs.

         (e) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant
to this Section 4.03, on each date after the Initial Borrowing Date upon which a
mandatory repayment of Term Loans pursuant to any of Sections 5.02(c) through
(g), inclusive, is required (and exceeds in amount the aggregate principal
amount of Term Loans then outstanding) or would be

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

required if Term Loans were then outstanding, the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount, if any, by which the
amount required to be applied pursuant to said Sections (determined as if an
unlimited amount of Term Loans were actually outstanding) exceeds the aggregate
principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding.

         (f) Each reduction and/or termination to the Total Term Loan
Commitment, and the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be applied to
proportionately reduce and/or terminate the Term Loan Commitment, the and the
Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be, of each Lender with such a
Commitment.

                                   SECTION 5

                          PREPAYMENTS; PAYMENTS; TAXES.

         5.01. Voluntary Prepayments.

         (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without
premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the
following terms and conditions:

                  (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to
         11:00 A.M. (Chicago time) at the Notice Office (x) at least one
         Business Day's prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
         confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans (or same
         day notice in the case of a prepayment of Swingline Loans) and (y) at
         least three Business Days prior written notice (or telephonic notice
         promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Eurodollar
         Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify whether Term Loans,
         Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be prepaid, the amount of such
         prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of
         Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to
         which made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall, except in
         the case of Swingline Loans, promptly transmit to each of the Lenders;

                  (ii) (x) each partial prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to
         this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at
         least $500,000, (y) each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant
         to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at
         least $250,000 and (z) each partial prepayment of Swingline Loans
         pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal
         amount of at least $50,000, provided that if any partial prepayment of
         Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the
         outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such
         Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount
         applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a
         Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and any election of an Interest Period
         with respect thereto given by the Borrower shall have no force or
         effect;

                  (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) in
         respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro
         rata among such Loans,

                                      -48-
<PAGE>

         provided that at the Borrower's election in connection with any
         prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), such
         prepayment shall not, so long as no Default or Event of Default then
         exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender; and

                  (iv) each prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to
         this Section 5.01(a) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining
         Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans in the inverse order
         of maturity.

         (b) [Intentionally omitted.]

         5.02. Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions.

         (a) Obligations in Excess of Commitments. On any day on which the sum
of (I) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (after
giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date), (II) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans (after giving effect to all
other repayments thereof on such date) and (III) the aggregate amount of all
Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at
such time, the Borrower shall prepay on such day the principal of Swingline
Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline
Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If,
after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and
Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings
exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment of such time, the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash
and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum
amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash
and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the
Borrower to the Issuing Lender and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral
account to be established by the Administrative Agent.

         (b) Term Loans. In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant
to this Section 5.02, on (each date set forth below,) the Borrower shall be
required to repay that principal amount of Term Loans, to the extent then
outstanding, as is set forth opposite each such date below (each such repayment,
as the same may be reduced as provided in Sections 5.01(a) and 5.02(h), a "Term
Loan Scheduled Repayment"):

         (c) Equity Issuance. In addition to any other mandatory repayments
pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Initial Borrowing
Date upon which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash
proceeds from any capital contribution or any sale or issuance of its equity
(other than cash proceeds received (i) from the issuance by the Borrower of
shares of its common stock (including as a result of the exercise of any options
with regard thereto), or options to purchase shares of its common stock, to
officers, directors and employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in
an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower or
(ii) from equity contributions to any Subsidiary of the Borrower to the extent
made by the Borrower or another Subsidiary of the Borrower), an amount equal to
50% of the Net Equity Proceeds of such capital contribution or sale or issuance
of equity shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment of principal of
outstanding Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h)
and (i).

         (d) Debt Issuance. In addition to any other mandatory repayments
pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Initial Borrowing
Date upon which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash
proceeds from any incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of
Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness for borrowed money
permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04 as such Section is in effect
on the Restatement Effective Date), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Debt
Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such
date as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Term Loans in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h) and (i).

         (e) Asset Sales. In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant
to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date upon
which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from
any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall
be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding
Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h) and (i);
provided that with respect to no more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate of cash
proceeds from

                                      -50-
<PAGE>

Asset Sales in any fiscal year of the Borrower, the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom
shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Default or
Event of Default then exists and the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale
Proceeds shall be used to purchase assets used or to be used in the business
permitted pursuant to Section 10.15 (including, without limitation (but only to
the extent permitted by Section 10.02), the purchase of the assets or 100% of
the capital stock of a Person engaged in such businesses) within 180 days
following the date of such Asset Sale (which certificate shall set forth the
estimates of the proceeds to be so expended), and provided further, that if all
or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds not required to be applied to the
repayment of outstanding Term Loans are not so reinvested within such 180-day
period (or such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower determines not to reinvest
the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale as set forth above), such remaining
portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date,
as the case may be) as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Term
Loans as provided above in this Section 5.02(e) without regard to the preceding
proviso. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Sale Proceeds of up to $7,000,000
from the sale of the Borrower's property consisting of approximately 25.7 acres,
consisting of two parcels, located in Montebello, New York shall not be required
to be applied to a mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section
5.02(e).

         (f) Excess Cash Flow. In addition to any other mandatory repayments
pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal
to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Payment Period shall
be applied as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Term Loans in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h) and (i); provided, however,
that no repayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 5.02(f) if on such
Excess Cash Payment Date no Default or Event of Default then exists and the
Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio at such time is less then 2.00:1.

         (g) Insurance Proceeds. In addition to any other mandatory repayments
pursuant to this Section 5.02, within 10 days following each date on or after
the Initial Borrowing Date upon which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than Recovery Events
in which the Net Insurance Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $100,000), an amount
equal to 100% of the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be
applied on such date as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Term
Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h) and (i); provided
that so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, such Net Insurance
Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that
the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior
to such date stating that such Net Insurance Proceeds shall be used to replace
or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such Net Insurance
Proceeds were paid within 180 days following the date of the receipt of such Net
Insurance Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the Net
Insurance Proceeds to be so expended), and provided further, that (i) if the
amount of such Net Insurance Proceeds exceeds $2,500,000, then the entire amount
of such Net Insurance Proceeds (and not just the portion of such Net Insurance
Proceeds in excess of $2,500,000) shall be deposited with the Administrative
Agent pursuant to a cash collateral arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent whereby such proceeds shall be disbursed to the Borrower
from time to time as needed to pay actual costs incurred by it or its applicable
Subsidiary in connection with the replacement or restoration of the respective
properties or assets (pursuant to such certification requirements as

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, including certifications
to the effect that (x) no Default or Event of Default then exists and (y) the
Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary has actually incurred such costs (which
certification shall be accompanied by any paid invoices or invoices required to
be paid within 5 Business Days thereafter)), although at any time while an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Lenders may direct the
Administrative Agent (in which case the Administrative Agent shall, and is
hereby authorized by the Borrower to, follow said directions) to apply any or
all proceeds then on deposit in such collateral account to the repayment of
Obligations hereunder, and (ii) if all or any portion of such Net Insurance
Proceeds not required to be applied to the repayment of outstanding Term Loans
pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within 180 days after the date
of the receipt of such Net Insurance Proceeds (or such earlier date, if any, as
the Borrower determines not to reinvest the Net Insurance Proceeds relating to
such Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied
on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as a
mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Term Loans as provided above in
this Section 5.02(h) without regard to the preceding proviso.

         (h) Pro Rata Application of Mandatory Repayment. Each amount required
to be applied to the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d),
(e), (f) and (g) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled
Repayments of the Term Loans in the inverse order of maturity.

         (i) Applications to Types of Loans. With respect to each repayment of
Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of
Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche
pursuant to which made, provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans
pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche
with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base
Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any
repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce
the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount
less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall
be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a
Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a
designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the
Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its
sole discretion.

         (j) [Intentionally omitted.]

         (k) Revolving Loans. Upon the payment in full of all Term Loans, 50% of
all Net Equity Proceeds, 100% of all Net Debt Proceeds and 100% of all cash
proceeds from any Asset Sale (except as provided in Section 5.02(e)), which in
each case before repayment of the Term, Loans would be required to be applied to
the repayment thereof, shall be forthwith applied to the mandatory repayment of
the Revolving Loans. Concurrent with such application, the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment shall be reduced by a like amount.

                                      -52-
<PAGE>

         (l) Maturity Date; Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, (i) all
then outstanding Loans of any Tranche shall be repaid in full on the respective
Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans and (ii) unless the Required Lenders
otherwise agree, all then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the date
on which a Change of Control occurs.

         5.03. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or under any Note shall be
made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders
entitled thereto not later than 11:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the date when due
and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment
Office. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be
stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to
payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during
such extension.

         5.04. Net Payments.

         (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note will
be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in
Section 5.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter
imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as
provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on or measured by
the net income or profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction
in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or
applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof
or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to
such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other
charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments
or other charges being referred to collectively as "Taxes"). If any Taxes are so
levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and
such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts
due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for
or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein
or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the
written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net
income or profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in
which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable
lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political
subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is
organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such
Lender is located and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall
determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender, in respect of such
amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding
sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender
pursuant to this sentence. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent
within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to
applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the
Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and
reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so
levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.

defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes
agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to

income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other
amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United
States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for
U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided

Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I)
such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms
required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) or (II)
in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in Section
5.04(b) (ii) above, to the extent that such Forms do not establish a complete

have received the notice referred to in Section 2.03(b)(i).

         (b) Prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Lender shall have received a Letter of Credit Request
meeting the requirements of Section 3.03(a).

         The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a
representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each
of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in Section 6 (with respect to
Credit Events on the Restatement Effective Date) and in this Section 7 (with
respect to Credit Events on or after the Restatement Effective Date) and
applicable to such Credit Event exist as of that time. All of the Notes,
certificates, legal opinions and other documents and papers referred to in
Section 6 and in this Section 7, unless otherwise specified, shall be delivered
to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office for the account of each of the
Lenders and, except for the Notes, in sufficient counterparts or copies for each
of the Lenders and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

                                   SECTION 8

                   REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.

         In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make
the Loans, and issue (or participate in) the Letters of Credit as provided
herein, the Borrower makes the following representations, warranties and
agreements, in each case after giving effect to the Refinancing, all of which
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the
making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, with the
occurrence of each Credit Event on or after the Restatement Effective Date being
deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that the matters specified in
this Section 8 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
Restatement Effective Date and on the date of each such other Credit Event (it
being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its
terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in
all material respects only as of such specified date).

         8.01. Organizational Status. Each of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries (other than an Inactive Subsidiary) (i) is a duly organized and
validly existing corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the
case may be, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (ii) has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company
power and authority, as the case may be, to own its property and assets and to
transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage
and (iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its
property or the conduct of its business requires such qualifications except for
failures to be so qualified which, either individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         8.02. Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the corporate,
partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may
be, to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the
Credit Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary corporate,
partnership or limited liability company action, as the case may be, to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Credit
Documents. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Credit
Documents to which it is party, and each of such Credit Documents constitutes
its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws generally affecting creditors' rights and by equitable principles
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

         8.03. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by
any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance
by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any provision
of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, injunction or decree
of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict with or result
in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the
obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security
Documents) upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement,
contract or instrument, in each case to which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound
or to which it may be subject or (iii) will violate any provision of the
certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent
organizational documents) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

         8.04. Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except for (x) the
filing of UCC-1 financing statements and Mortgages to perfect the security
interest created under the Security Agreement and the Mortgages, as applicable,
and (y) those that have otherwise been obtained or made on or prior to the
Restatement Effective Date and which remain in full force and effect on the
Restatement Effective Date), or exemption by, any governmental or public body or
authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required
in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of any Credit
Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any
such Credit Document.

         8.05. Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Undisclosed
Liabilities; Projections; etc.

         (a) (i) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower for its
fiscal years ended on December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and the related audited
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders' equity of the
Borrower for the fiscal years ended on such dates, as the case may be, copies of
which have been furnished to the Lenders prior to the Restatement Effective
Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial
position of the Borrower at the dates of such balance sheets and the
consolidated results of the operations of the Borrower for the periods covered
thereby. All of the foregoing financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

         (ii) Since December 31, 2002, there has been no change in the business,
operations, property, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that has had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.

         (b) On and as of the Restatement Effective Date and after giving effect
to the Refinancing and to all Indebtedness (including the Loans) being incurred
or assumed and Liens created by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection
therewith (i) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of each of the
Borrower on a stand-alone basis and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole will exceed its debts; (ii) each of the Borrower on a stand-alone basis
and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole has not incurred and does
not intend to incur, and does not believe that it will incur, debts beyond its
ability to pay such debts as such debts mature; and (iii) each of the Borrower
on a stand-alone basis and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole
will have sufficient capital with which to conduct its business. For purposes of
this Section 8.05(c), "debt" means any liability on a claim, and "claim" means
(a) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment,
liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed,
undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (b) right to an equitable
remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether
or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed,

                                      -64-
<PAGE>

contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The
amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount
that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time,
represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or
matured liability.

         (c) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered
pursuant to Section 8.05(a), there were as of the Initial Borrowing Date no
liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As of the Initial Borrowing Date, the Borrower
does not know of any basis for the assertion against it or any of its
Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not
fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section
8.05(a) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to be material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

         (d) On and as of the Initial Borrowing Date, the Projections delivered
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the Initial Borrowing Date
have been prepared in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions, and
there are no statements or conclusions in the Projections which are based upon
or include information known to the Borrower to be misleading in any material
respect or which fail to take into account material information known to the
Borrower regarding the matters reported therein. On the Initial Borrowing Date,
the Borrower believes that the Projections are reasonable and attainable, it
being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events
are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or
periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results and
that the differences may be material.

         8.06. Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending
or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened (i) with respect to the
Refinancing or any Credit Documents, (ii) with respect to any material
Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) that are,
either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         8.07. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a
whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all
information contained in the Credit Documents) for purposes of or in connection
with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated
herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole)
hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material
respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not
incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information
(taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light
of the circumstances under which such information was provided.

         8.08. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

         (a) All proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrower (i) to
effect the Refinancing, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the
Refinancing, for working capital and Capital Expenditures, (iv) to finance
Permitted Acquisitions, (v) to finance Restricted Payments, and (vi) for other
lawful corporate purposes.

         (b) No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used
to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the
use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will
violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

         8.09. Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has filed all federal and state income tax returns and all other
material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has
paid all taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, except for
immaterial taxes and assessments and for those contested in good faith and
adequately disclosed and fully provided for on the financial statements of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. Each of the Borrower and
each of its Subsidiaries has at all times paid, or has provided adequate
reserves (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) for the
payment of, all federal, state, local and foreign income taxes applicable for
all prior fiscal years and for the current fiscal year to date. There is no
action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower threatened, by any authority regarding any taxes
relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that either individually or
in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

         8.10. Compliance with ERISA.

                  (i) Schedule 2 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth, as of the
         Initial Borrowing Date, each Plan. Each Plan (and each related trust,
         insurance contract or fund) is in substantial compliance with its terms
         and with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, ERISA and
         the Code; each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended
         to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a
         determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect
         that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the
         Code; no Reportable Event has occurred; no Plan which is a
         multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) is
         insolvent or in reorganization; no Plan has any material Unfunded
         Current Liability; no Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code
         or Section 302 of ERISA has any material accumulated funding
         deficiency, within the meaning of such sections of the Code or ERISA,
         or has applied for or received a waiver of an accumulated funding
         deficiency or an extension of any amortization period, within the
         meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA; all
         contributions required to be made with respect to a Plan have been
         timely made; neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower
         nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including
         any indirect, contingent or secondary liability) to or on account of a
         Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064,
         4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29), 4971 or 4975
         of the Code or

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

         expects to incur any such material liability under any of the foregoing
         sections with respect to any Plan; no condition exists which presents a
         material risk to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any
         ERISA Affiliate of incurring a material liability to or on account of a
         Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; no
         proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to
         administer any Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA; no action,
         suit, proceeding, hearing, audit or investigation with respect to the
         administration, operation or the investment of assets of any Plan
         (other than routine claims for benefits) is pending or, to the
         Borrower's knowledge, expected or threatened; using actuarial
         assumptions and computation methods consistent with Part 1 of subtitle
         E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of the Borrower and
         its Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates to all Plans which are
         multiemployer plans (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) in the
         event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most
         recent fiscal year of each such Plan ended prior to the date of the
         most recent Credit Event, would not exceed $500,000; each group health
         plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of
         the Code) which covers or has covered employees or former employees of
         the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate has
         at all times been operated in material compliance with the provisions
         of Part 6 of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the
         Code; no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the
         Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate
         exists or is likely to arise on account of any Plan; and the Borrower
         and its Subsidiaries may cease contributions to or terminate any
         employee benefit plan maintained by any of them without incurring any
         material liability.

                  (ii) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in material
         compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all
         applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been
         maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory
         authorities. All material contributions required to be made with
         respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made. Neither the
         Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material
         obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any
         Foreign Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit
         liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan,
         determined as of the end of the Borrower's recently ended fiscal year
         on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did
         not exceed in any material respect the current value of the assets of
         such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

         8.11. The Security Documents.

         (a) The provisions of the Security Agreement are effective to create in
favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal,
valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the
Credit Parties in the Security Agreement Collateral described therein, and the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, has a fully
perfected first lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest
in all of the Security

                                      -67-
<PAGE>

Agreement Collateral described therein, free and clear of all other Liens other
than Permitted Liens. The recordation of (x) the Grant of Security Interest in
U.S. Patents and (y) the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Trademarks in the
respective form attached to the Security Agreement, in each case in the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, together with filings on Form UCC-1 made
pursuant to the Security Agreement, will create, as may be perfected by such
filings and recordation, a perfected security interest in the United States
trademarks and patents covered by the Security Agreement, and the recordation of
the Grant of Security Interest in U.S. Copyrights in the form attached to the
Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office, together with
filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Security Agreement, will create, as
may be perfected by such filings and recordation, a perfected security interest
in the United States copyrights covered by the Security Agreement.

         (b) The security interests created in favor of the Collateral Agent, as
Pledgee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, under the Pledge Agreement
constitute first priority perfected security interests in the Pledge Agreement
Collateral described in the Pledge Agreement, free and clear of all other Liens.
No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect (or maintain the
perfection or priority of) the security interests created in the Pledge
Agreement Collateral under the Pledge Agreement.

         (c) If and when a Mortgage is created, each such Mortgage creates, as
security for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and
enforceable perfected security interest in and mortgage lien on the respective
Mortgaged Property in favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other trustee as
may be required or desired under local law) for the benefit of the Secured
Creditors, superior to and prior to the rights of all third persons (except that
the security interest and mortgage lien created on such Mortgaged Property may
be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances related thereto) and subject to no
other Liens (other than Liens permitted under Section 10.01 related thereto).

         8.12. Representations and Warranties in the Credit Documents. All
representations and warranties set forth in the other Credit Documents were true
and correct in all material respects at the time as of which such
representations and warranties were made (or deemed made) and shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of the Initial Borrowing Date as if such
representations and warranties were made on and as of such date, unless stated
to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and
warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier
date.

         8.13. Properties. All Real Property owned or leased by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries as of the Initial Borrowing Date, and the nature of the
interest therein, is correctly set forth on Schedule 1 of the Disclosure Letter.
Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title
to all material properties owned by it, including all property reflected in
Schedule 1 of the Disclosure Letter and in the most recent historical balance
sheets of the Borrower referred to in Section 8.05(a) (except as sold or
otherwise disposed of since the date of such balance sheet in the ordinary
course of business or as permitted by the terms of this Agreement), free and
clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

         8.14. Capitalization. On the Initial Borrowing Date, the authorized
capital stock of the Borrower shall consist of (i) 295,000,000 shares of common
stock, $.0025 par value per share,

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0025 par value per share, of
which no shares of such preferred stock shall be issued and outstanding. All
outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Borrower have been duly and
validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower does not have
outstanding any securities convertible into or exchangeable for its capital
stock or outstanding any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options
for the purchase of, or any agreement providing for the issuance (contingent or
otherwise) of, or any calls, commitments or claims of any character relating to,
its capital stock, except (i) as set forth in any Shareholders' Agreement as in
effect on the Initial Borrowing Date, (ii) for options, warrants and rights to
purchase shares of the Borrower's common stock or Qualified Preferred Stock
which may be issued from time to time and (iii) for any Indebtedness that may be
issued or incurred from time to time under Section 10.04(xii) which may be
convertible into shares of the Borrower's common stock.

         8.15. Subsidiaries. As of the Initial Borrowing Date, the Borrower has
no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 3 of the
Disclosure Letter. Schedule 3 of the Disclosure Letter correctly sets forth, as
of the Initial Borrowing Date, (i) the percentage ownership (direct or indirect)
of the Borrower in each class of capital stock or other equity of each of its
Subsidiaries and also identifies the direct owner thereof and (ii) the
jurisdiction of organization of each such Subsidiary.

         8.16. Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of the Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and
orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies,
domestic or foreign, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership
of its property (including, without limitation, applicable statutes,
regulations, orders and restrictions relating to environmental standards and
controls), except such noncompliances as could not, either individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         8.17. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.

         8.18. Public Utility Holding Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any
of its Subsidiaries is a "holding company," or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company," or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary
company" of a "holding company" within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, as amended.

         8.19. Environmental Matters.

         (a) Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance
with all applicable Environmental Laws and the requirements of any permits
issued under such Environmental Laws. There are no pending or, to the knowledge
of the Borrower, threatened Environmental Claims against the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries or any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries (including any such claim arising out of the
ownership, lease or operation by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any
Real Property formerly owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries but no
longer owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries).
There are no facts, circumstances,

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

conditions or occurrences with respect to the business or operations of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Real Property owned, leased or
operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, to the knowledge
of the Borrower, any Real Property formerly owned, leased or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
any property adjoining or adjacent to any such Real Property that could be
reasonably expected (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property owned, leased or
operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) to cause any Real
Property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to
be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, lease, occupancy or
transferability of such Real Property by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
under any applicable Environmental Law.

         (b) Hazardous Materials have not at any time been generated, used,
treated or stored on, or transported to or from, any Real Property owned, leased
or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries where such generation,
use, treatment, storage or transportation has violated or could reasonably be
expected to violate any Environmental Law or give rise to an Environmental
Claim. Hazardous Materials have not at any time been Released on or from any
Real Property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries where such Release has violated or could reasonably be expected to
violate any applicable Environmental Law.

         (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.19, the
representations and warranties made in this Section 8.19 shall not be untrue
unless the effect of any or all conditions, violations, claims, restrictions,
failures and noncompliances of the types described above could, either
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         8.20. Labor Relations. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to,
either individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There
is (i) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any of
them, before the National Labor Relations Board, and no grievance or arbitration

be reasonably requested from time to time by the Required Lenders (collectively,
the "Additional Security Documents"). All such security interests and Mortgages
shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Administrative Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable
perfected security interests and Mortgages superior to and prior to the rights
of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens except for Permitted Liens.
The Additional Security Documents or instruments related thereto shall have been
duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law
to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral
Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Security Documents and
all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall have
been paid in full.

         (b) The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors
to, at the expense of the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file
and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such vouchers,
invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing
statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real
property surveys, reports, landlord waivers and other assurances or instruments
and take such further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the
Security Documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require. Furthermore,
the Borrower will cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such opinions of
counsel, title insurance and other related documents as may be reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent to assure itself that this Section 9.11
has been complied with.

         (c) If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably
determine that they are required by law or regulation to have appraisals
prepared in respect of the Real Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
constituting Collateral, the Borrower will, at its own expense, provide to the
Administrative Agent appraisals which satisfy the applicable requirements of the
Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of the Financial Institution Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, and which shall otherwise be
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

         (d) The Borrower agrees that each action required above by this Section
9.11 shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 90 days
after such action is either requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders or required to be

                                      -79-

<PAGE>

taken by the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this
Section 9.11; provided that, in no event will the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries be required to take any action, other than using its best efforts,
to obtain consents from third parties with respect to its compliance with this
Section 9.11.

         9.12. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans
only as provided in Section 8.08.

         9.13. Foreign Subsidiaries Security. If, following a change in the
relevant sections of the Code or the regulations, rules, rulings, notices or
other official pronouncements issued or promulgated thereunder, the Borrower
does not within 30 days after a request from the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders deliver evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary of the
Borrower which has not already had all of its stock pledged pursuant to the
Pledge Agreement that

                  (i) a pledge of 65% or more of the total combined voting power
         of all classes of capital stock of such Foreign Subsidiary entitled to
         vote,

                  (ii) the entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a
         security agreement in substantially the form of the Security Agreement,
         and

                  (iii) the entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a
         guaranty in substantially the form of the Subsidiaries Guaranty,

in any such case could reasonably be expected to cause (I) any undistributed
earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary as determined for Federal income tax
purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary's United
States parent for Federal income tax purposes or (II) other Federal income tax
consequences to the Credit Parties having a Material Adverse Effect, then in the
case of a failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (i) above, that
portion of such Foreign Subsidiary's outstanding capital stock not theretofore
pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement shall be promptly pledged to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors pursuant to the Pledge
Agreement (or another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if
needed), and in the case of a failure to deliver the evidence described in
clause (ii) above, such Foreign Subsidiary shall promptly execute and deliver
the Security Agreement and Pledge Agreement (or another security agreement or
pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if needed), granting the Secured
Creditors a security interest in all of such Foreign Subsidiary's assets and
securing the Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents and under
any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement and, in the
event the Subsidiaries Guaranty shall have been executed by such Foreign
Subsidiary, the obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary thereunder, and in the
case of a failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (iii) above, such
Foreign Subsidiary shall promptly execute and deliver the Subsidiaries Guaranty
(or another guaranty in substantially similar form, if needed), guaranteeing the
Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents and under any Interest
Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement, in each case to the extent
that the entering into of the Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement or
Subsidiaries Guaranty is permitted by the laws of the respective foreign
jurisdiction and with all documents delivered

                                      -80-

<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section 9.13 to be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

         9.14. Margin Stock. In the event that the Borrower or any other Credit
Party holds any Margin Stock that is required to be pledged pursuant to the
Pledge Agreement, the Borrower will duly execute and deliver to each Lender an
appropriately completed Form U-1 or Form G-3 referred to in Regulation U.

         9.15. Permitted Acquisitions.

         (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.15 and the requirements
contained in the definition of Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower and its
Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries may from time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions,
so long as (in each case except to the extent the Required Lenders otherwise
specifically agree in writing in the case of a specific Permitted Acquisition):

                  (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing at the time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted
         Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto;

                  (ii) all representations and warranties contained herein and
         in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material
         respects with the same effect as though such representations and
         warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Permitted
         Acquisition (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless
         stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such
         representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all
         material respects as of such earlier date;

                  (iii) the Net Acquisition Consideration with respect to any
         one Permitted Acquisition shall not be greater than $20,000,000;

                  (iv) the Net Acquisition Consideration with respect to all
         Permitted Acquisitions consummated during any given fiscal year of the
         Borrower shall not exceed the "Total Acquisition Amount," which shall
         be determined according to the following:

                           (A) from and after January 1, 2003, until increased
                  as provided for in (B) or (C) below, the Total Acquisition

                  to December 31, 2003 less the Consolidated EBITDA for the
                  period of January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002, provided that
                  the Total Acquisition Amount shall not be increased to more
                  than a total of $25,000,000 pursuant to this clause (B); and

<PAGE>

                  shall be the Total Acquisition Amount as determined by clause
                  (B) above plus the product (only to the extent the product is
                  a positive number) of 50% of the sum of the Consolidated
                  EBITDA for the period January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004,
                  less the consolidated EBITDA for the period of January 1, 2003
                  to December 31, 2003, provided that the Total Acquisition
                  Amount shall not be increased to more than a total of
                  $30,000,000 pursuant to this clause (C).

                  (v) the Acquired EBITDA of each Acquired Entity or Business,
         calculated prior to a Permitted Acquisition shall not be less than a
         negative $2,500,000 for the twelve month period prior to the Permitted
         Acquisition, and in any fiscal year of the Borrower the total Acquired
         EBITDA for all Acquired Entities and Businesses shall not be less than
         a negative $5,000,000 on an aggregate basis.

                  (vi) immediately after giving effect to each Permitted

         Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment, when added to the aggregate
         amount of unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents held by the Borrower
         and its Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries, shall equal or exceed
         $7,000,000;

                  (vii) no Acquired Entity or Business acquired pursuant to a
         Permitted Acquisition shall be organized or domiciled under the law of
         any jurisdiction other than the United States or Canada, or any states
         or provinces therein, and no Acquired Entity or Business shall have
         more than 15% of its assets or annual revenues based in or from outside
         of the United States or Canada (as determined from the most recently
         available financial information for such Person or assets);

                  (viii) such Permitted Acquisition is non-hostile (i.e., the
         prior, effective written consent or approval to such Permitted
         Acquisition of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of
         the Acquired Entity or Business shall have been obtained);

         and each Lender an officer's certificate executed by a senior financial
         officer of the Borrower, certifying to the best of such officer's
         knowledge, compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i)
         through (viii), inclusive, and containing the calculations (in
         reasonable detail) (A) evidencing compliance with the preceding clauses
         (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), and (viii) and (B) necessary to
         establish the Acquired EBITDA of the Acquired Entity or Business
         acquired pursuant to such Permitted Acquisition, which calculations
         shall be reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent.

         (b) At the time of each Permitted Acquisition involving the creation or
acquisition of a Subsidiary, or the acquisition of capital stock or other equity
interest of any Person, all capital

                                      -82-

<PAGE>

stock or other equity interests thereof created or acquired in connection with
such Permitted Acquisition shall be pledged for the benefit of the Secured
Creditors pursuant to (and to the extent required by) the Pledge Agreement.

         (c) The Borrower will cause each Subsidiary which is formed to effect,
or is acquired pursuant to, a Permitted Acquisition to comply with, and to
execute and deliver, all of the documentation as and to the extent required by,
Sections 9.11 and 10.16, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.

         (d) The consummation of each Permitted Acquisition shall be deemed to
be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the certifications by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 9.15(a) are true and correct and that all
conditions thereto have been satisfied and that same is permitted in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, which representation and warranty shall be
deemed to be a representation and warranty for all purposes hereunder,
including, without limitation, Sections 8 and 11.

         (e) In any Permitted Acqusition that involves a working capital
adjustment, Net Acquisition Consideration for the purposes of clauses (a)(iii)
and (iv) above shall be initially calculated on the basis of a reasonably
estimated working capital adjustment. Within 75 days after each such Permitted
Acquisition, the Borrower (i) shall establish the actual amount of working
capital adjustment and the actual Net Acquisition Consideration, and (ii) shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender an officer's certificate
executed by a senior financial officer of the Borrower, certifying to the best
of such officer's knowledge, compliance with the requirements of preceding
clauses (a)(iii) and (iv) based on such recalculated Net Acquisition
Consideration, and containing the calculations (in reasonable detail) evidencing
compliance with the preceding clauses (a)(iii) and (iv).

its Subsidiaries), or assign any right to receive income or permit the filing of
any financing statement under the UCC or any other similar notice of Lien under
any similar recording or notice statute; provided that the provisions of this

         Indebtedness arising under such Capitalized Lease Obligation and (y)
         the Lien encumbering the asset giving rise to the Capitalized Lease
         Obligation does not encumber any other asset of the Borrower or any
         Subsidiary of the Borrower;

                  (vii) Liens placed upon (x) equipment or machinery acquired
         after the Initial Borrowing Date and used in the ordinary course of

         without giving effect to any subsequent extension, renewal or
         refinancing thereof except to the extent set forth on such Schedule 4,
         provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness to be
         extended, renewed or refinanced does not increase from that amount
         outstanding at the time of any such extension, renewal or refinancing;

                  (iii) Indebtedness under Interest Rate Protection Agreements

         respect to other Indebtedness permitted under this Section 10.04;

                  (iv) Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries

         otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Section 10.04 (other than
         in respect of the Senior Subordinated Notes), in each case only so long
         as the giving of such guaranty does not require a Subsidiary of the
         Borrower to guaranty the Borrower's obligations in respect of the
         Senior Subordinated Notes;

                  (vii) Indebtedness under Other Hedging Agreements providing
         protection against fluctuations in currency values in connection with
         the Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' operations so long as
         management of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, has
         determined that the entering into of such Other Hedging Agreements are
         bona fide hedging activities and are not for speculative purposes;

         that (x) such Indebtedness was not incurred in connection with, or in
         anticipation or contemplation of, such Permitted Acquisition, (y) such
         Indebtedness does not constitute debt for borrowed money (other than
         debt for borrowed money incurred in connection with industrial revenue
         or industrial development bond financings), it being understood and
         agreed that Capitalized Lease Obligations and purchase money
         Indebtedness of the type described in Section 10.01(vii) shall not

         incurrence thereof;

         12.02. Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement
and in the other Credit Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any
action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or
in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the
Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the
Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder
of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon
the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

         12.03. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of
each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to
make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and
affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and
the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in
connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility,
either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder
of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether
coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or
times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any
Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other
writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial
condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any
inquiry concerning either the performance or observance

                                     -101-

<PAGE>

of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of
Default.

         12.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the
Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with
respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders;
and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason
of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the
holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the
Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or
refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in
accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

         12.05. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution,
notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message,
cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent
or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper
Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and
any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice
of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

         12.06. Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any
affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the
Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate
thereof) in proportion to their respective "percentage" as used in determining
the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind
or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the
Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties
hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no
Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).

         12.07. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With
respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of
Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and
powers specified herein for a "Lender" and may exercise the same rights and
powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the
term "Lender," "Required Lenders", "holders of Notes" or any similar terms
shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the
Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative
Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with,
or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial
advisory services) to, any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or
any Person

                                     -102-

<PAGE>

engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as
if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and
other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party
for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to
account for the same to the Lenders.

         12.08. Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee
of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a
written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case
may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive
and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the
case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

         12.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

         (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its
respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit
Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days prior written notice to the
Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor
Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise
provided below.

         (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent,
the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or
thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable
to the Borrower which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
(provided that the Borrower's approval shall not be required if an Event of
Default then exists).

         (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so
appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent with the
consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, provided that the Borrower's consent shall not be required if an Event
of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who
shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if
any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided above.

         (d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to
clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of
resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's
resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter
perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any
other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

         12.10. Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender shall have the rights and
protections hereunder to the same extent as if it were the Administrative Agent.

                                     -103-

                                   SECTION 13

                                 MISCELLANEOUS.

         13.01. Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrower shall:

                  (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are
         consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
         Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable
         fees and disbursements of legal counsel of the Administrative Agent and
         of the Administrative Agent's consultants) in connection with the
         preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
         Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein
         and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or
         thereto, of the Administrative Agent in connection with its syndication
         efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the Administrative Agent
         and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of the Lenders
         in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other
         Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein
         and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of
         the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of
         a "work-out" or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings
         (including, in each case without limitation, the reasonable fees and
         disbursements of counsel and consultants for the Administrative Agent
         and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, counsel for each of
         the Lenders);

                  (ii) pay and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the
         Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp,
         excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the
         foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent and each of the
         Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect
         to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent
         attributable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender) to pay such
         taxes; and

                  (iii) indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and
         each of their respective officers, directors, employees,
         representatives, agents, affiliates, trustees and investment advisors
         from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities,
         obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages,
         penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and
         disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees
         and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of
         them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by
         reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding
         (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party
         thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other
         proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to
         the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other
         Credit Document or the use of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds of
         any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Refinancing or any other
         transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the
         exercise of any of

                                     -104-

<PAGE>

         their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit
         Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials
         in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or
         subsurface of any Real Property owned, leased or at any time operated
         by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage,
         transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the
         Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not
         owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
         the non-compliance of any Real Property with foreign, federal, state
         and local laws, regulations, and ordinances (including applicable
         permits thereunder) applicable to any Real Property, or any
         Environmental Claim asserted against the Borrower, any of its
         Subsidiaries or any Real Property owned, leased or at any time operated
         by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including, in each case,
         without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
         and other consultants incurred in connection with any such
         investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any
         losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred
         by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person
         to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
         in a final and non-appealable decision)).

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the
Administrative Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of
the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

         13.02. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any
such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any
time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being
hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all
deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or
owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation,
by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit
or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and
liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including,
without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender
pursuant to Section 13.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description
arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder
and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be
contingent or unmatured.

         13.03. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing
(including telegraphic, telex, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed,
telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Credit Party,
at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant
Credit Documents; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule II; and
if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party
or the Administrative

                                     -105-

<PAGE>

Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written
notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address
as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when
mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight
courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph
company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by
telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not be effective until received by
the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be.

         13.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

         (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto; provided, however, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its
rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer,
assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain
a "Lender" for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any
portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and
13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall
not constitute a "Lender" hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall
transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have
rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would

                  (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or
         Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond
         the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is
         participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
         interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of
         applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce
         the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or
         modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to
         Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of
         interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the
         participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it
         being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of
         a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a
         change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any
         Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be
         permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant's
         participation is not increased as a result thereof),

                  (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of
         any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or

                  (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under
         all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the
         Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder
         in which such participant is participating or release all or
         substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

                                     -106-

<PAGE>

In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights
under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant's
rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set
forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant
relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be
determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together
with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its
Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with
respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations)
hereunder to (i) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is
at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or to one or more
Lenders or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans,
any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same
investment advisor of such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor
or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000
in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such
Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with
respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations)
hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in
loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the
same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment
advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a
party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, provided that,

                  (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to
         reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be,
         of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders,

                  (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning
         Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender's indemnifying the Borrower for
         any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new
         Notes will be issued, at the Borrower's expense, to such new Lender and
         to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or
         assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the
         requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the
         extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding
         Loans, as the case may be,

                  (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as
         no Default or Event of Default then exists, the consent of the
         Borrower, shall (in each case) be required in connection with any
         assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (y) above (each
         of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),

                  (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of
         each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the
         payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (only one such fee
         shall be payable in the event of a simultaneous assignment to multiple
         assignees that are Affiliates or from multiple assignors that are
         Affiliates), and

                                     -107-

<PAGE>

                  (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until
         recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to
         Section 13.15.

To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning
Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its
assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment
pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender
hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective
assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the
Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a
Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b). To the extent
that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender's Commitments and related
outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would,
at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10,
3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior
to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such
increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the
other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other
increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the
date of the respective assignment).

         (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from
pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of
borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, upon written
notice to the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or
any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee in support of its obligations
to its trustee. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the
transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

         13.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part
of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any
Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other
Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing
Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights,
powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided
are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender
would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case
shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender to
any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

         13.06. Payments Pro Rata.

         (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative
Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf
of the Borrower in respect of

                                     -108-

<PAGE>

any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders
(other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share
of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the
Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

         (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount
hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the
exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross
action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or
otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest
on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fees, of a
sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is
in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to
such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of
the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such
excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the
other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to
such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by
all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such
excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest.

         (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the
express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing
payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

         13.07. Calculations; Computations; Accounting Terms.

         (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant
hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States
consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the
notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the
Lenders); provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
computations of Excess Cash Flow, and all computations and all definitions used
in determining compliance with Sections 10.07 through 10.11, inclusive, shall
utilize accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to
prepare the latest audited historical financial statements of the Borrower
referred to in Section 8.05(a).

         (b) If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of
any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Credit Document, and either
the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio
or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change
in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until
so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in
accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall
provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and
other documents required hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between
calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to
such change in GAAP.

of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the
case of Letter of Credit Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the
period for which such interest, Commitment Fee or other Fees are payable;
provided that interest in respect of Base Rate Loans determined by reference to

case may be, for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which
such interest is payable.

         (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms
hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated
unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing
signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto and the Required Lenders,
provided that no such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall,
without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) (with
Obligations being directly affected in the case of following clause (i)):

                  (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or
         extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the
         Revolving Loan Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
         payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the

<PAGE>

                  (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section
         13.12 (except for technical amendments with respect to additional
         extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the
         protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type
         provided to the Term Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments on the
         Restatement Effective Date),

                  (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
         Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the
         Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this
         Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders
         on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans and
         Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Restatement Effective
         Date),

                  (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of
         any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement,

                  (vi) amend Section 2.09 so as to permit Interest Periods that

                  (viii) amend, modify or waive any Term Loan Scheduled
         Repayment to be made pursuant to Section 5.02(b);

provided further, that no such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or
termination shall:

         (1) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then
in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers
or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of
Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute
an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the
available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an
increase of the Commitment of such Lender),

         (2) affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under
any other Credit Document, without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be,

         (3) (i) amend, change, modify or waive Section 5.02(a) or (ii) have the
effect (either immediately) or at some later time) of enabling the Borrower to
satisfy a condition precedent to the making of a Revolving Loan or Swingline
Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, unless such amendment, modification
or waiver shall have been consented to by the holders of more than 50% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, or

         (4) amend, change, modify or waive the provisions of Section 5.02 (h),
or adversely affect the rights of Lenders participating in any Tranche different
from those of the Lenders participating in other Tranches, unless, in any such
case, such amendment, modification or waiver shall have been consented to by the
holders of (in Dollars) more than 50% of the

                                     -112-

<PAGE>

aggregate amount of Loans outstanding under the Tranche or Tranches affected by
such modification, or, in the case of a modification affecting the Revolving
Loan Commitments, the Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate principal
amount of Revolving Loan Commitments (it being agreed and understood that
modifications which affect all Lenders ratably shall not be considered hereunder
as affecting Lenders of any Tranche differently).

         (b)  [Intentionally omitted.]

         13.13. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without
limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive
the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the
making and repayment of the Obligations.

         13.14. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans
at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a
transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such
transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 from
those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the
Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type
described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective
transfer).

         13.15. Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative
Agent to serve as the Borrower's agent, solely for purposes of this Section
13.15, to maintain a register (the "Register") on which it will record the
Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of
the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans
of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such
recordation, shall not affect the Borrower's obligations in respect of such
Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such
Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made
pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is
recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to
ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all
amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall
remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of
all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative
Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a
properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to
Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration
of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if
any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same
aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender
and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted
against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under
this Section 13.15.

         13.16. Confidentiality.

                                     -113-

<PAGE>

         (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each
Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without
the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors,
advisors or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender's holding
or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should
have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any
information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now
or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit
Document and which is designated by the Borrower to the Lenders in writing as
confidential, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as
has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of
this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or
appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal,
state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over
such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere)
or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any
summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to
comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v)
to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any prospective or
actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or
participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such
Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the
confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16, and (vii) to any
direct or indirect contractual counterparty to swap agreements with a Lender or
such contractual counterparty's professional advisor provided that such
contractual counterparty or professional advisor agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Section 13.16.

         (b) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may
share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender
any information related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including,
without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the
creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as
such Lender.

         13.17. Certain Agreements with respect to the Senior Subordinated
Notes.

         (a) The Borrower hereby (A) represents and warrants that (i)
$100,000,000 of Term Loans may be incurred under this Agreement on the Initial
Borrowing Date in reliance on the proviso to Section 4.12 of the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture, and (ii) $45,000,000 of Revolving Loans, Swingline
Loans and Letters of Credit in the aggregate incurred pursuant to the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment as in effect on the Initial Borrowing Date may be
incurred and outstanding from time to time in reliance on clause (ii) of the
definition of "Permitted Indebtedness" contained in the Senior Subordinated Note
Indenture and (B) agrees that it will not take any position contrary to the
representations and warranties set forth in preceding clause (A).

         (b) The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that this (i) Agreement
constitutes the "Credit Facility" under, and as defined in, the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture, and (ii) the Obligations (as defined herein)
constitute (and are hereby designated by the Borrower as) Designated Senior Debt
(as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture).

                                     -114-

         13.18. Debt Rating. The Borrower shall, within 90 days after the
Initial Borrowing Date, obtain a reaffirmation of all debt ratings (each a "Debt
Rating") from Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or any successor thereto
("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, or any successor thereto
("S&P") for all of the Borrower's long term debt, including but not limited to
the Indebtedness and the Subordinated Debt, actual and implied.

         Liability Company Interest is not represented by a certificate, the

         Pledgee shall have exclusive and absolute control and dominion (and no

         cash in such cash account;

         with respect to which the Pledgee may obtain "control" thereof within
         the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC (or under any provision of the
         UCC as same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, or under
         the laws of any relevant State other than the State of Illinois), the
         respective Pledgor shall take all actions as may be reasonably
         requested from time to time by the Pledgee so that "control" of such
         Collateral is obtained and at all times held by the Pledgee; and

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

                  (ii) each Pledgor shall from time to time cause appropriate
         financing statements (on Form UCC-1 or other appropriate form) under
         the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the various relevant
         States, on form covering all Collateral hereunder (with the form of
         such financing statements to be satisfactory to the Pledgee), to be
         filed in the relevant filing offices so that at all times the Pledgee
         has a security interest in all Investment Property and other Collateral
         which is perfected by the filing of such financing statements (in each
         case to the maximum extent perfection by filing may be obtained under
         the laws of the relevant States, including, without limitation, Section
         9-312(a) of the UCC).

any time or from time to time after the date hereof, such Collateral shall
automatically (and without any further action being required to be taken) be
subject to the pledge and security interests created pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof and, furthermore, the Pledgor will promptly thereafter take (or cause to
be taken) all action with respect to such Collateral in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, and will promptly thereafter deliver
to the Pledgee (i) a certificate executed by a principal executive officer of
such Pledgor describing such Collateral and certifying that the same has been
duly pledged in favor of the Pledgee (for the benefit of the Secured Creditors)
hereunder and (ii) supplements to Annexes A through F hereto as are reasonably
necessary to cause such annexes to be complete and accurate at such time.
Without limiting the foregoing, each Pledgor shall be required to pledge
hereunder any shares of stock at any time and from time to time after the date
hereof acquired by such Pledgor of any Foreign Corporation, provided that (x)

                  3.5 Definition of Pledged Notes. All Notes at any time pledged
or required to be pledged hereunder are hereinafter called the "Pledged Notes".

                  3.6 Certain Representations and Warranties Regarding the
Collateral. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that on the date hereof (i)

                  4. APPOINTMENT OF SUB-AGENTS; ENDORSEMENTS, ETC. If and to the
extent necessary to enable the Pledgee to perfect its security interest in any
of the Collateral or to exercise any of its remedies hereunder, the Pledgee
shall have the right to appoint one or more sub-agents for the purpose of
retaining physical possession of the Collateral, which may be held (in the
discretion of the Pledgee) in the name of the relevant Pledgor, endorsed or
assigned in blank or in favor of the Pledgee or any nominee or nominees of the
Pledgee or a sub-agent appointed by the Pledgee.

                  5. VOTING, ETC., WHILE NO EVENT OF DEFAULT. Unless and until
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, each Pledgor
shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights
pertaining to the Collateral owned by it, and to give consents, waivers or
ratifications in respect thereof; provided, that, in each case, no vote shall be
cast or any consent, waiver or ratification given or any action taken or omitted
to be taken which would violate or be inconsistent with any of the terms of this
Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Interest Rate
Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement (collectively, the "Secured Debt
Agreements"), or which would have the effect of impairing the value of the
Collateral or any part thereof or the position or interests of the Pledgee or
any other Secured Creditor in the Collateral. All such rights of each Pledgor to
vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications shall cease in case an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and Section 7 hereof shall
become applicable.

                  6. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. Unless and until there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, all cash dividends,
cash distributions, cash Proceeds and other cash amounts payable in respect of
the Collateral shall be paid to the respective Pledgor. The Pledgee shall be
entitled to receive directly, and to retain as part of the Collateral:

                  (i)      all other or additional stock, notes, limited
         liability company interests, partnership interests, instruments or
         other securities or property (including, but not limited to, cash
         dividends other than as set forth above) paid or distributed by way of
         dividend or otherwise in respect of the Collateral;

                  (ii)     all other or additional stock, notes, limited
         liability company interests, partnership interests, instruments or
         other securities or property (including, but not limited to, cash) paid
         or distributed in respect of the Collateral by way of stock-split,
         spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar
         rearrangement; and

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

                  (iii)    all other or additional stock, notes, limited
         liability company interests, partnership interests, instruments or
         other securities or property (including, but not limited to, cash)
         which may be paid in respect of the Collateral by reason of any
         consolidation, merger, exchange of stock, conveyance of assets,
         liquidation or similar corporate reorganization.

Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall limit or restrict in any way the
Pledgee's right to receive proceeds of the Collateral in any form in accordance
with Section 3 of this Agreement. All dividends, distributions or other payments
which are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6
and Section 7 hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee,
shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsement).

                  7. REMEDIES IN CASE OF DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT. If there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, then and in every
such case, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers
and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, any other Secured Debt
Agreement or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect
of the Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all the rights
and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in any relevant jurisdiction and also shall be entitled, without limitation, to
exercise the following rights, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to be
commercially reasonable:

                  (i)      to receive all amounts payable in respect of the
         Collateral otherwise payable under Section 6 hereof to the respective
         Pledgor;

                  (ii)     to transfer all or any part of the Collateral into
         the Pledgee's name or the name of its nominee or nominees;

                  (iii)    to accelerate any Pledged Note which may be
         accelerated in accordance with its terms, and take any other lawful
         action to collect upon any Pledged Note (including, without limitation,
         to make any demand for payment thereon);

                  (iv)     to vote all or any part of the Collateral (whether or
         not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents,
         waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise
         act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof
         (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the
         Pledgee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power
         of substitution to do so);

                  (v)      at any time and from time to time to sell, assign and
         deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the
         Collateral, or any interest therein, at any public or private sale,
         without demand of performance, advertisement or notice of intention to
         sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to
         redeem or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived by each Pledgor),
         for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future
         delivery without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or
         prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its absolute discretion may
         determine,

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

         provided that at least 10 days' written notice of the time and place of
         any such sale shall be given to the respective Pledgor. The Pledgee
         shall not be obligated to make any such sale of Collateral regardless
         of whether any such notice of sale has theretofore been given. Each
         Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by
         law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral,
         whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of
         marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations
         or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law,
         the Pledgee on behalf of the Secured Creditors may bid for and purchase
         all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or
         equity of redemption. Neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured
         Creditor shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or
         all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall any of
         them be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard
         thereto; and

                  (vi)     to set-off any and all Collateral against any and all
         Obligations, and to withdraw any and all cash or other Collateral from
         any and all Collateral Accounts and to apply such cash and other
         Collateral to the payment of any and all Obligations.

The Pledgee shall not exercise any rights under Section 3 of any Securities
Account Control Agreement, executed and delivered pursuant to Section
3.2(a)(vii) of this Agreement, or under Section 2 of any Deposit Account Control
Agreement, executed and delivered pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(vii) of this
Agreement, unless an Event of Default shall exist.

                  8. REMEDIES, CUMULATIVE, ETC. Each and every right, power and
remedy of the Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured
Debt Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute
shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such
right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Pledgee
or any other Secured Creditor of any one or more of the rights, powers or
remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall
not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee or any other
Secured Creditor of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or
delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to exercise any
such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or
demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any
of the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to any other or
further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Secured
Creditors agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the
Pledgee, in each case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or,
after the date on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full,
the holders of at least the majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) and
that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to
enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be
granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may
be exercised by the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the
terms of this Agreement.

                  9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All monies collected by the
Pledgee upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, together with all other monies received by the Pledgee
hereunder, shall be applied in the manner provided

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

in the Security Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the Pledgors shall
remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the
amount of the proceeds of the Collateral hereunder and the aggregate amount of
the Obligations.

                  10. PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. Upon any sale of the Collateral
by the Pledgee hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted,
pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Pledgee or the
officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or
purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not
be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid
over to the Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

                  11. INDEMNITY. Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees (i)
to indemnify and hold harmless the Pledgee in such capacity and each other
Secured Creditor and their respective successors, assigns, employees, agents and
affiliates (individually an "Indemnitee," and collectively the "Indemnitees")
from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities
(including liabilities for penalties) of whatsoever kind or nature, and (ii) to
reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, in each case growing out of or resulting from this
Agreement or the exercise by any Indemnitee of any right or remedy granted to it
hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Agreement (but excluding any claims,
demands, losses, judgments and liabilities or expenses to the extent incurred by
reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee). In no
event shall the Pledgee be liable, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on its part, for any matter or thing in connection with this
Agreement other than to account for monies actually received by it in accordance
with the terms hereof. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Pledgor
under this Section 11 are unenforceable for any reason, such Pledgor hereby
agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such
obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

                  12. PLEDGEE NOT A PARTNER OR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY MEMBER.

                  (a) Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Pledgee or
any other Secured Creditor liable as a member of any limited liability company
or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured
Creditor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the
following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of
a member of any limited liability company or partnership. The parties hereto
expressly agree that, unless the Pledgee shall become the absolute owner of
Collateral consisting of a Limited Liability Company Interest or Partnership
Interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a
partnership or joint venture among the Pledgee, any other Secured Creditor, any
Pledgor and/or any other Person.

                  (b) Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a)
of this Section 12, the Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to
become a member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership
or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with respect to any Pledgor, any
limited liability company, partnership and/or any other Person either before

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

or after an Event of Default shall have occurred. The Pledgee shall have only
those powers set forth herein and the Secured Creditors shall assume none of the
duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company
or as a partner of any partnership or any Pledgor except as provided in the last
sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.

                  (c) The Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors shall not be
obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of any Pledgor as a result of
the pledge hereby effected.

                  (d) The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all
the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time
or in any event obligate the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to appear in
or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not
a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money
or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability
under the Collateral.

                  13. FURTHER ASSURANCES; POWER-OF-ATTORNEY.

                  (a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will join with the Pledgee in
executing and, at such Pledgor's own expense, file and refile under the Uniform
Commercial Code or other applicable law such financing statements, continuation
statements and other documents in such offices as the Pledgee may deem
reasonably necessary and wherever required by law in order to perfect and
preserve the Pledgee's security interest in the Collateral and hereby authorizes
the Pledgee to file financing statements and amendments thereto relative to all
or any part of the Collateral without the signature of such Pledgor where
permitted by law, and agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute
and deliver to the Pledgee such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements
and instruments as the Pledgee may reasonably require or deem necessary to carry
into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto
the Pledgee its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

                  (b) Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee such Pledgor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and
in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, to act from time to time solely after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in the
Pledgee's reasonable discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument
which the Pledgee may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement.

                  14. THE PLEDGEE AS AGENT. The Pledgee will hold in accordance
with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this
Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed by each Secured Creditor that
by accepting the benefits of this Agreement each such Secured Creditor
acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Pledgee as holder of the
Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof,
and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this
Agreement. The Pledgee shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth
herein and in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement.

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

                  15. TRANSFER BY THE PLEDGORS. No Pledgor will sell or
otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge or
otherwise encumber any of the Collateral or any interest therein (except as may
be permitted in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement).

                  16. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGORS.

                  (a) Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants that:

                  (i)      it is the legal, beneficial and record owner of, and
         has good and marketable title to, all Collateral consisting of one or
         more Securities and that it has sufficient interest in all Collateral
         in which a security interest is purported to be created hereunder for
         such security interest to attach (subject, in each case, to no pledge,
         lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option,
         Adverse Claim or other encumbrance whatsoever, except the liens and
         security interests created by this Agreement);

                  (ii)     it has full power, authority and legal right to
         pledge all the Collateral pledged by it pursuant to this Agreement;

                  (iii)    this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
         obligation of such Pledgor enforceable against such Pledgor in
         accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability
         thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting
         creditors' rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether
         enforcement is sought in equity or at law);

                  (iv)     except to the extent already obtained or made, no
         consent of any other party (including, without limitation, any
         stockholder, partner, member or creditor of such Pledgor or any of its
         Subsidiaries) and no consent, license, permit, approval or
         authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration,
         filing or declaration with, any governmental authority is required to
         be obtained by such Pledgor in connection with (a) the execution,
         delivery or performance of this Agreement, (b) the validity or
         enforceability of this Agreement, (c) the perfection or enforceability
         of the Pledgee's security interest in the Collateral or (d) except for
         compliance with or as may be required by applicable securities laws,
         the exercise by the Pledgee of any of its rights or remedies provided
         herein;

                  (v)      the execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement will not violate any provision of any applicable law or
         regulation or of any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any
         court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign,
         applicable to such Pledgor, or of the certificate of incorporation,
         operating agreement, limited liability company agreement, partnership
         agreement or by-laws of such Pledgor or of any securities issued by
         such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries, or of any mortgage, deed of
         trust, indenture, lease, loan agreement, credit agreement or other
         material contract, agreement or instrument or undertaking to which such
         Pledgor or any of its

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

         Subsidiaries is a party or which purports to be binding upon such
         Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries or upon any of their respective
         assets and will not result in the creation or imposition of (or the
         obligation to create or impose) any lien or encumbrance on any of the
         assets of such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries except as
         contemplated by this Agreement;

                  (vi)     all of the Collateral (consisting of Securities,
         Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests) has been
         duly and validly issued and acquired, is fully paid and non-assessable
         and is subject to no options to purchase or similar rights;

                  (vii)    each of the Pledged Notes constituting an
         Intercompany Note constitutes, or when executed by the obligor thereof
         will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of such
         obligor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent
         that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
         laws generally affecting creditors' rights and by equitable principles
         (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); and

                  (viii)   the pledge and collateral assignment to, and
         possession by, the Pledgee of the Collateral consisting of Certificated
         Securities and Pledged Notes pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid
         and perfected first priority security interest in such Certificated
         Securities and Pledged Notes, and the proceeds thereof, subject to no
         prior Lien or encumbrance or to any agreement purporting to grant to
         any third party a Lien or encumbrance on the property or assets of such
         Pledgor which would include the Securities and the Pledgee is entitled
         to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the UCC or other
         relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfect
         security interests in respect of such Collateral; and

                  (ix)     "control" (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC)
         has been obtained by the Pledgee over all Collateral consisting of
         Securities (including Notes which are Securities) with respect to which
         such "control" may be obtained pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC.

                  (b) Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will defend the
Pledgee's right, title and security interest in and to the Securities and the
proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever; and
each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will have like title to and right to
pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the Pledgee as
Collateral hereunder and will likewise defend the right thereto and security
interest therein of the Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors.

                  17. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE; JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION

establish in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 17. The originals
of all documents in the possession of such Pledgor evidencing all Collateral,

                                      -17-

including but not limited to all Limited Liability Company Interests and

shall change its chief executive office, name, form of organization from that of
a corporation or jurisdiction of organization until (i) it shall have given to
the Pledgee not less than 30 days' prior written notice of its intention so to
do, clearly describing the proposed changes and providing such other information
in connection therewith as the Pledgee may reasonably request and (ii) with
respect to such changes, it shall have taken all action, satisfactory to the
Pledgee, to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the
Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in
full force and effect. Promptly after establishing a new location for such
offices in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the respective
Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee a supplement to Annex F hereto so as to
cause such Annex F hereto to be complete and accurate.

                  18. PLEDGORS' OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE, ETC. The obligations of
each Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released,
suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or
occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (i) any renewal,
extension, amendment or modification of or addition or supplement to or deletion
from any Secured Debt Agreement or any other instrument or agreement referred to
therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; (ii) any waiver, consent,
extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any
such agreement or instrument including, without limitation, this Agreement;
(iii) any furnishing of any additional security to the Pledgee or its assignee
or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Pledgee or its
assignee; (iv) any limitation on any party's liability or obligations under any
such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or
in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof; or (v) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any Pledgor or any Subsidiary
of any Pledgor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any
trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not
such Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

                  19. REGISTRATION, ETC.

                  (a) If there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default then, and in every such case, upon receipt by any Pledgor from the
Pledgee of a written request or requests that such Pledgor cause any
registration, qualification or compliance under any Federal or state securities
law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Collateral
consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership
Interests, such Pledgor as soon as practicable and at its expense will cause
such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will cause such
qualification and compliance to be declared effected (and be kept effective)

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of such Collateral, including, without limitation, registration
under the Securities Act, as then in effect (or any similar statute then in
effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state
securities laws and appropriate compliance with any other government
requirements, provided, that the Pledgee shall furnish to such Pledgor such
information regarding the Pledgee as such Pledgor may reasonably request in
writing and as shall be required in connection with any such registration,
qualification or compliance. Such Pledgor will cause the Pledgee to be kept
advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification
or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish to the Pledgee such
number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto
as the Pledgee from time to time may reasonably request, and will indemnify the
Pledgee, each other Secured Creditor and all others participating in the
distribution of such Collateral against all claims, losses, damages and
liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement,
notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state
therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by an
untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such
Pledgor by the Pledgee or such other Secured Creditor expressly for use therein.

                  (b) If at any time when the Pledgee shall determine to
exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Collateral consisting of
Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests
pursuant to Section 7 hereof, and the Collateral or the part thereof to be sold
shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the
Securities Act, as then in effect, the Pledgee may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, sell such Collateral, as the case may be, or part thereof by private
sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Pledgee may deem
necessary or advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without
such registration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such
event the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion (i) may proceed to make
such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose
of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under such
Securities Act, (ii) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser
to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will
represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral
or part thereof. In the event of any such sale, the Pledgee shall incur no
responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a
price which the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion, in good faith
deems reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a
substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until
after registration as aforesaid.

                  20. TERMINATION; RELEASE.

                  (a) After the Termination Date, this Agreement and the
security interest created hereby shall terminate (provided that all indemnities
set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section 11 hereof shall
survive any such termination), and the Pledgee, at the request and expense of
any Pledgor, will execute and deliver to such Pledgor a proper instrument or
instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement,
and will duly

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse and without any
representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as has not theretofore been
sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement, together with
any monies at the time held by the Pledgee or any of its sub-agents hereunder.
As used in this Agreement, "Termination Date" shall mean the date upon which the
Total Commitment and all Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging
Agreements have been terminated, no Note under the Credit Agreement is
outstanding (and all Loans have been repaid in full), all Letters of Credit have
been terminated and all Obligations then due and payable have been paid in full.

                  (b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold in
connection with a sale permitted by Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement (other
than a sale to any Pledgor or any Subsidiary thereof) or is otherwise released
at the direction of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required by Section
13.12 of the Credit Agreement) and the proceeds of such sale or sales or from
such release are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement, to the extent required to be so applied, the Pledgee, at the request
and expense of any Pledgor, will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of
the Collateral (and releases therefor) as is then being (or has been) so sold or
released and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.

                  (c) At any time that a Pledgor desires that the Pledgee
assign, transfer and deliver Collateral (and releases therefor) as provided in
Section 20(a) or (b) hereof, it shall deliver to the Pledgee a certificate
signed by a principal executive officer of such Pledgor stating that the release
of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to such Section 20(a) or (b).

                  (d) The Pledgee shall have no liability whatsoever to any
other Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it in
accordance with this Section 20.

                      SECURITIES ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

         This Securities Account Control Agreement dated as of (this
"Agreement") among ___________________(the "Debtor"), Bank of America, N.A., as
collateral agent for the Secured Parties (the "Collateral Agent") and
_______________________, in its capacity as a "securities intermediary" as
defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the "Securities
Intermediary"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meaning assigned thereto in the Pledge Agreement, dated [as of the date hereof]
[as of March 6, 2002, as amended and restated as of May 27, 2003], among the
Debtor and the Collateral Agent (as amended, modified or supplemented from time
to time, the "Pledge Agreement"). All references herein to the "UCC" shall mean
the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Illinois.

         SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT OF SECURITIES ACCOUNT. The Securities
Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:

                  (a) The Securities Intermediary has established account number
         [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name "[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF
         ACCOUNT]" (such account and any successor account, the "Securities
         Account") and the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or
         account number of the Securities Account without the prior written
         consent of the Collateral Agent;

                  (b) All securities or other property underlying any financial
         assets credited to the Securities Account shall be registered in the
         name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities
         Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account
         maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case
         will any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be
         registered in the name of the Debtor, payable to the order of the
         Debtor or specially indorsed to the Debtor except to the extent the
         foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary
         or in blank;

                  (c) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary
         pursuant to the Pledge Agreement will be promptly credited to the
         Securities Account; and

                  (d) The Securities Account is a "securities account" within
         the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC.

         SECTION 2. "FINANCIAL ASSETS" ELECTION. The Securities Intermediary
hereby agrees that each item of property (including, without limitation, any
investment property, financial asset, security, instrument, general intangible
or cash) credited to the Securities Account shall be treated as a "financial
asset" within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

                                      H-1

<PAGE>

         SECTION 3. CONTROL OF THE SECURITIES ACCOUNT. If at any time the
Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Collateral Agent
directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the
Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such
entitlement order without further consent by the Debtor or any other person. The
Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue entitlement orders and such orders
conflict with any entitlement order issued by the Collateral Agent, the
Securities Intermediary shall follow the orders issued by the Collateral Agent.

         SECTION 4. SUBORDINATION OF LIEN; WAIVER OF SET-OFF. In the event that
the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by
operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Securities Account or
any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby
agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest
of the Collateral Agent. The financial assets and other items deposited to the
Securities Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or
any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agent (except
that the Securities Intermediary may set off (i) all amounts due to the
Securities Intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the
routine maintenance and operation of the Securities Account and (ii) the face
amount of any checks which have been credited to such Securities Account but are
subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

         SECTION 5. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement and the Securities Account
shall each be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. Regardless of any
provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, Illinois shall be
deemed to be the Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction (within the meaning of
Section 8-110 of the UCC) and the Securities Account (as well as the securities
entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Illinois.

         SECTION 6. CONFLICT WITH OTHER AGREEMENTS.

                  (a) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or
         any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter
         entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail;

                  (b) No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver
         of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it
         is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto;

                  (c) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees
         that:

                           (i) There are no other agreements entered into
                  between the Securities Intermediary and the Debtor with
                  respect to the Securities Account;

                           (ii) It has not entered into, and until the
                  termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any
                  agreement with any other person relating to the Securities
                  Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant
                  to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as
                  defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) of such other
                  person; and

                                      H-2

<PAGE>

                           (iii) It has not entered into, and until the
                  termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any
                  agreement with the Debtor or the Collateral Agent purporting
                  to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities
                  Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in
                  Section 3 hereof.

         SECTION 7. ADVERSE CLAIMS. Except for the claims and interest of the
Collateral Agent and of the Debtor in the Securities Account, the Securities
Intermediary does not know of any claim to, or interest in, the Securities
Account or in any "financial asset" (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC)
credited thereto. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim
(including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or
similar process) against the Securities Account or in any financial asset
carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Collateral
Agent and the Debtor thereof.

         SECTION 8. MAINTENANCE OF SECURITIES ACCOUNT. In addition to, and not
in lieu of, the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to honor entitlement
orders as agreed in Section 3 hereof, the Securities Intermediary agrees to
maintain the Securities Account as follows:

                  (a) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Collateral
         Agent delivers to the Securities Intermediary a Notice of Sole Control
         in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Securities
         Intermediary agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will take all
         instruction with respect to the Securities Account solely from the
         Collateral Agent.

                  (b) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Securities
         Intermediary receives a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to subsection
         (a) of this Section 8, the Debtor shall direct the Securities
         Intermediary with respect to the voting of any financial assets
         credited to the Securities Account.

                  (c) Permitted Investments. Until such time as the Securities
         Intermediary receives a Notice of Sole Control signed by the Collateral
         Agent, the Debtor shall direct the Securities Intermediary with respect
         to the selection of investments to be made for the Securities Account;
         provided, however, that the Securities Intermediary shall not honor any
         instruction to purchase any investments other than investments of a
         type describe on Exhibit B hereto.

                  (d) Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary
         will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other
         correspondence concerning the Securities Account and/or any financial
         assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Debtor and the
         Collateral Agent at the address for each set forth in Section 12 of
         this Agreement.

                  (e) Tax Reporting. All items of income, gain, expense and loss
         recognized in the Securities Account shall be reported to the Internal
         Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the
         name and taxpayer identification number of the Debtor.

INTERMEDIARY. The Securities Intermediary hereby makes the following
representations, warranties and covenants:
