For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Moody's or S&P shall not have in
effect a corporate family or corporate rating, as applicable, for the Primary
Borrower (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last
sentence of this paragraph), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have
established a rating of less than B2 or less than B-, as applicable; (ii) if the
ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody's and S&P for
the Primary Borrower shall fall within different Categories, (A) the Applicable
Margin shall be based on the higher of the two ratings if one such rating falls
within Category 3 and (B) the Applicable Margin shall be based on the lower of
the two ratings in all other cases; and (iii) if the rating established or
deemed to have been established by Moody's or S&P for the Primary Borrower shall
be changed, such change shall be effective as of the date on which such change
is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the
Applicable Margin resulting from changes in ratings shall apply during the
period commencing on the effective date of such change (the "Ratings Adjustment
Date") and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the
next such change. If the rating system of Moody's or S&P shall change, or if
either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate
obligors, the Primary Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to
amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the
unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness
of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to
the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

Changes in the Applicable Margin or in the Commitment Fee Rate resulting from
changes in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall become effective on each date
(each, a "Leverage Adjustment Date"; each Leverage Adjustment Date and each
Ratings Adjustment Date being an "Adjustment Date") on which financial
statements of Holdings are delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.1 (but
in any event not later than the 45th day after the end of each of the first
three quarterly periods of each fiscal year or the 90th day after the end of
each fiscal year, as the case may be) and shall remain in effect until the next
change to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. If any financial statements
referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified above,
then, until such financial statements are delivered, the Consolidated Leverage
Ratio as at the end of the fiscal period that would have been covered thereby
shall for the purposes of this definition be deemed to be greater than 4.25 to
1.0. Each determination of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio pursuant to this
Pricing Grid shall be made for the periods and in the manner contemplated by
Section 10.1(a).
