receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Tranche C Term Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on
the Effective Date each Tranche C Term Lender shall make available to the
Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available
funds equal to the Tranche C Term Loan or Tranche C Term Loans to be made by
such Lender, except to the extent such Lender elects to convert Existing Term
Loans into Tranche C Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Administrative
Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of
the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by the Tranche C Term Lenders in immediately available
funds.

       2.3. REPAYMENT OF TRANCHE C TERM LOANS. The Tranche C Term Loan of each
Lender shall mature in 24 consecutive quarterly installments, commencing on
March 31, 2004, each of which shall be in an amount equal to the product of (i)
such Lender's Tranche C Term Percentage MULTIPLIED by (ii) an amount equal to
the aggregate amount of Tranche C Term Loans outstanding on the Effective Date
MULTIPLIED by (iii) the percentage set forth below opposite such installment:

              SECTION 3. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING COMMITMENTS

       3.1. REVOLVING COMMITMENTS. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans
denominated in Dollars ("REVOLVING LOANS") to the Borrower from time to time
during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any
one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender's Revolving Percentage of
the sum of (i) the L/C Obligations then outstanding, (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Swingline Loans then outstanding and (iii) the Dollar
Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the Foreign Currency Loans then
outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment.
During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving
Commitments by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing the Revolving Loans, in
whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The
Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurocurrency Loans or Base Rate Loans,
as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with Sections 3.2 and 4.3.

       (b) On the Effective Date, (i) each Revolving Lender that was not
previously a Revolving Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)
under the Existing Credit Agreement or any Lender which has increased its
Revolving Commitment shall make available to the Administrative Agent such
amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall
determine, for the benefit of the other relevant Lenders, as being required in
order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts
to make payments to such other relevant Lenders, each Revolving Lender's portion
of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Revolving Lenders to equal its
Revolving Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans and (ii) the Borrower
shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as
of the Effective Date (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans,
with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by
the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2). The deemed
payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence in
respect of each Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars shall be subject to
indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.11 if
the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest
Periods.

                                                                              32

       (c) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the
Revolving Termination Date.

       3.2. PROCEDURE FOR REVOLVING LOAN BORROWING. The Borrower may borrow
under Section 3.1 during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day,
PROVIDED that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable
notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00
Noon, New York City time, (a) three Business Days prior to the requested
Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, or (b) one Business Day prior
to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans), specifying (i)
the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested
Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the respective
amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial
Interest Period therefor. Any Revolving Loans made on the Original Closing Date
shall initially be Base Rate Loans. Each borrowing under the Revolving
Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans,
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then
aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $100,000, such lesser
amount) and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars,
$3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; PROVIDED, that the
Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings under the
Revolving Commitments that are Base Rate Loans in other amounts pursuant to
Section 3.4. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each
Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower
at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing
Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower
by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books
of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by
the Administrative Agent.

       3.3. SWINGLINE COMMITMENT. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise
available to the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time to time
during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans denominated in
Dollars ("SWINGLINE LOANS") to the Borrower; PROVIDED that (i) the aggregate
principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the
Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans
outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender's other
outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit hereunder, may exceed the Swingline
Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the
Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to
the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available
Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment
Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline
Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only.

       (b) The Swingline Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement
on the Effective Date shall constitute Swingline Loans hereunder.

                                                                              33

       (c) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving
Termination Date and the 30th day after such Swingline Loan is made; PROVIDED
that, during each calendar month, there shall be at least two consecutive
Business Days during which the outstanding balance of the Swingline Loans shall
be zero.

       3.4. PROCEDURE FOR SWINGLINE BORROWING; REFUNDING OF SWINGLINE LOANS. (a)
Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it
shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly
in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not
later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date),
specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date
(which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). Each
borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $250,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of
Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative
Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to
the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to
the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account
of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in
immediately available funds.

       (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole
and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day's notice
given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time,
request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees
to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's
Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the
"REFUNDED SWINGLINE LOANS") outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the
Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving
Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately
available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day
after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be
immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender
for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded
Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to
charge the Borrower's accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount
available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such
Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving
Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.

       (c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made
pursuant to Section 3.4(b), one of the events described in Section 9(f) shall
have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other
reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving
Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 3.4(b), each Revolving Lender
shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the
notice referred to in Section 3.4(b) (the "REFUNDING DATE"), purchase for

<Page>
                                                                              34

cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans
by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the "SWINGLINE PARTICIPATION
AMOUNT") equal to (i) such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage TIMES (ii)
the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding
that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

       (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from
any Revolving Lender such Lender's Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline
Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline
Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period
of time during which such Lender's participating interest was outstanding and
funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such
Lender's PRO RATA portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to
pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is
required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline
Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

       (e) Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make the Loans referred to in
Section 3.4(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section
3.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the
Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the
failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 6; (iii) any
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv)
any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender; or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

       3.5. COMMITMENT FEES, ETC. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee
for the period from and including the Effective Date to the last day of the
Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average
daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the
period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee
Payment Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date
hereof.

       (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in
the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent.

       3.6. TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF REVOLVING COMMITMENTS. The Borrower
shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to
time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; PROVIDED that no such
termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after
giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the

<Page>
                                                                              35

Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Foreign Currency Loans made on the
effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed
the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal
to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the
Revolving Commitments then in effect.

       3.7. L/C COMMITMENT. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each
Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set
forth in Section 3.10(a), agrees to issue letters of credit ("LETTERS OF
CREDIT") for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the
Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by
such Issuing Lender; PROVIDED that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation
to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the
L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of
the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of
Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency and (ii) expire
no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance
and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination
Date, PROVIDED that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for
the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event
extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

       (b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter
of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing
Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable
Requirement of Law.

       (c) The Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement
on the Effective Date shall constitute Letters of Credit hereunder.

       3.8. PROCEDURE FOR ISSUANCE OF LETTER OF CREDIT. The Borrower may from
time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by
delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an
Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and
such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such
Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender
will notify the Administrative Agent of the amount, the beneficiary and the
requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit, and upon receipt of
confirmation from the Administrative Agent that after giving effect to the
requested issuance, the Available Revolving Commitments would not be less than
zero, such Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates,
documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection
therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue
the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing
Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business
Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other
certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by
issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as
otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Each Issuing
Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. Each
Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall
in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter
of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the amount thereof).

                                                                              36

       3.9. FEES AND OTHER CHARGES. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on all
outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin
then in effect with respect to Eurocurrency Loans under the Revolving Facility,
shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on
each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower
shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on
the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit as agreed by the
Borrower and the Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee
Payment Date after the Issuance Date.

       (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or
reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses
as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating,
effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit to the extent that the fees and expenses associated with the issuance of
such Letter of Credit exceed the fronting fee therefore as specified in Section
3.9(a).

       3.10. L/C PARTICIPATIONS. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to
grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing
Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably
agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing
Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant's
own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's
Revolving Percentage in each Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under and
in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and
the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C
Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender
that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the related Reimbursement
Obligation shall be converted to Dollars pursuant to Section 3.11 and such L/C
Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of such Issuing
Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Percentage of the
amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to the relevant Issuing
Lender.

       (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section
3.10(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such
Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product
of (i) such amount, TIMES (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate
during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender,
TIMES (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse
during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount
required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.10(a) is not
made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant
Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such
L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from
such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under

<Page>
                                                                              37

the Revolving Facility. A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any
L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

       (c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under
any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its PRO RATA
share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.10(a), the Administrative
Agent or such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of
Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
Collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest
on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case
may be, will distribute to such L/C Participant its PRO RATA share thereof;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that any such payment received by
Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall be
required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, such
L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative
Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to it.

       (d) Each L/C Participant's obligation to purchase participating interests
pursuant to Section 3.10(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant or the Borrower may
have against any Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in
Section 6; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of
the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by
the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant; or (v) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing.

       3.11. REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWER. The Borrower agrees to
reimburse each Issuing Lender on the Business Day (or the third Business Day in
the event of a Foreign Currency draft) next succeeding the Business Day on which
such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft
presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender for the
amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other
reasonable costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with
such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at
its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately
available funds, PROVIDED that if the Borrower does not reimburse such Issuing
Lender for any draft paid by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender in a Foreign Currency on the date required
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.11, such Issuing Lender shall
convert such Reimbursement Obligation into Dollars at the rate of exchange then
available to such Issuing Lender in the interbank market where its foreign
currency exchange operations in respect of such Foreign Currency are then being
conducted and the Borrower shall thereafter be required to reimburse such
Issuing Lender in Dollars for such Reimbursement Obligation (in the amount so
converted). Interest shall be payable on any such amounts denominated in Dollars
from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until the relevant Issuing
Lender receives payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the Business
Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice,

<Page>
                                                                              38

Section 4.5(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 4.5(c). Interest shall be payable on
any such amounts denominated in a Foreign Currency from the date on which the
relevant draft is paid until the relevant Issuing Lender receives payment in
full or conversion to Dollars as provided herein at the rate determined by the
relevant Issuing Lender as its cost of funding such payment. Each drawing under
any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i)
or (ii) of Section 9(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to
the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.10 for funding
by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 3.2 of Base Rate Loans
(or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender in their
sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 3.4 of Swingline Loans) in the
amount of such drawing except that, in such event, Borrower is not deemed to
have given any representations and warranties pursuant to Section 6.2. The
Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a
borrowing of Revolving Loans (or, if applicable, Swingline Loans) could be made,
pursuant to Section 3.2 or, if applicable, Section 3.4), if the Administrative
Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative
Agent receives notice from such Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter
of Credit.

       3.12. OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The Borrower's obligations under Section 3.11
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower
may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender
that such Issuing Lender not shall be responsible for, and the Borrower's
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.11 shall not be affected by, among
other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements
thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid,
fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender
shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission,
dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in
connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a
final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender.
The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under
or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents,
if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in
accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code
of the State of New York and UCP 500, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall
not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

       3.13. LETTER OF CREDIT PAYMENTS. If any draft shall be presented for
payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly
notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the
relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented
for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall, in
addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of
Credit, be limited to determining in compliance with UCP 500 that the documents
(including

<Page>
                                                                              39

each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such
presentment are substantially in conformity with the requirements of such Letter
of Credit.

       3.14. APPLICATIONS. To the extent that any provision of any Application
related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this
Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

       3.15. FOREIGN CURRENCY SUBFACILITY. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Foreign Currency Lenders agree to make loans (each, a
"FOREIGN CURRENCY LOAN") in one or more Foreign Currencies to the Borrower from
time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period, PROVIDED that, (i) after
giving effect to any such Foreign Currency Loan, the Total Revolving Extensions
of Credit at such time do not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments at such
time and (ii) after giving effect to such Foreign Currency Loan and the use of
proceeds thereof, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Foreign Currency Loans does not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit.
During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Foreign Currency Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof.

       (b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Foreign Currency Loans on
the Revolving Termination Date.

       3.16. PROCEDURE FOR FOREIGN CURRENCY LOAN BORROWINGS. The Borrower may
borrow under Section 3.15 during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business
Day, PROVIDED that, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable
notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00
A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing
Date) specifying (a) the amount to be borrowed and the Foreign Currency with
respect thereto, (b) the requested Borrowing Date and (c) the initial Interest
Periods with respect thereto. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Foreign Currency Lender thereof and of the
amount of such Foreign Currency Lender's Loan to be made as part of the
requested borrowing. Each borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans shall be a
Eurocurrency Loan in a minimum amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent
of $3,000,000 in the relevant Foreign Currency or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000. Each Foreign Currency Lender shall make each Foreign Currency Loan
to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 11:00 A.M., New York City time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purposes for
Foreign Currency Loans by notice to the Foreign Currency Lenders. The
Administrative Agent will make such Foreign Currency Loans available to the
Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account in accordance with instructions provided by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent.

       3.17. FOREIGN CURRENCY LOAN FEES, COMMISSIONS AND OTHER CHARGES. (a) The
Borrower shall pay to each Foreign Currency Lender with respect to each Foreign
Currency Loan made by such Foreign Currency Lender, for the account of such
Foreign Currency Lender, a fronting fee with respect to the period from and
including the date of such Foreign Currency Loan to but excluding the date of
repayment thereof computed at a rate per annum to be agreed upon by such Foreign
Currency Lender and the Borrower on the average daily principal amount

<Page>
                                                                              40

of such Foreign Currency Loan outstanding during the period for which such fee
is calculated. Such fronting fee shall be payable in the applicable Foreign
Currency in arrears on each Fee Payment Date to occur after the making of such
Foreign Currency Loan and shall be nonrefundable.

       (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Foreign Currency Participants, a participation fee with respect to each
Foreign Currency Loan for the period from and including the date of such Foreign
Currency Loan to but excluding the date of repayment thereof, computed at a rate
per annum equal to the Applicable Margin in respect of Eurocurrency Loans that
are Revolving Loans from time to time in effect on the average daily principal
amount of such Foreign Currency Loan outstanding during the period for which
such fee is calculated. Such fee shall be shared ratably among the Foreign
Currency Participants in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages.
Such commission shall be payable in Dollars (based on the Dollar Equivalent of
the amount calculated as set forth in Section 3.2) in arrears on each Fee
Payment Date to occur after the making of such Foreign Currency Loan and shall
be nonrefundable.

       (c) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, distribute to each Foreign Currency Lender and the Foreign Currency
Participants all fees received by the Administrative Agent for their respective
accounts pursuant to this Section 3.17.

       (d) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or
reimburse each Foreign Currency Lender and the Administrative Agent for such
normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such
Foreign Currency Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with the
conversion of any Foreign Currency into Dollars pursuant to Section 3.18.

       3.18. PARTICIPATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY LOANS. (a) Each Foreign Currency
Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Foreign Currency
Participant, and, to induce such Foreign Currency Lender to make Foreign
Currency Loans hereunder, each such Foreign Currency Participant irrevocably
agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Foreign
Currency Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such Foreign
Currency Participant's own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such
Foreign Currency Participant's Revolving Percentage in such Foreign Currency
Lender's obligations and rights under and in respect of each Foreign Currency
Loan made by such Foreign Currency Lender hereunder. On any Conversion Date or
on any other date if any amount in respect of the principal, interest or fees
owing to such Foreign Currency Lender in respect of a Foreign Currency Loan is
not paid when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such unpaid
amount shall be converted into an amount denominated in Dollars at the
applicable Exchange Rate on the date of such conversion, as determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof (and shall thereafter
be denominated in Dollars for purposes of this Agreement), and each such Foreign
Currency Participant hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Foreign Currency Lender upon demand
an amount in Dollars equal to such Foreign Currency Participant's Revolving
Percentage of such unpaid amount denominated in Dollars. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to the relevant Foreign Currency
Lender. Each

<Page>
                                                                              41

Foreign Currency Participant's obligation to make the payment referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Foreign Currency
Participant or the Borrower may have against any Foreign Currency Lender, the
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party or any other Lender or
(v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing. Each Lender shall pay the purchase price of its
undivided participating interests (as determined by the Administrative Agent) by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent (and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such funds to the relevant
Foreign Currency Lenders).

       (b) If any amount required to be paid by any Foreign Currency Participant
to any Foreign Currency Lender pursuant to Section 3.18(a) is not paid to such
Foreign Currency Lender when due but is paid within three Business Days after
the date such payment is due, such Foreign Currency Participant shall pay to
such Foreign Currency Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i)
such amount, TIMES (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate for Loans denominated in Dollars
during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to such Foreign Currency
Lender, TIMES (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that
elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such
amount required to be paid by any Foreign Currency Participant pursuant to
Section 3.18(a) is not in fact made available to any Foreign Currency Lender by
such Foreign Currency Participant within three Business Days after the date such
payment is due, such Foreign Currency Lender shall be entitled to recover from
such Foreign Currency Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon
calculated from such due date at the rate per annum equal to the rate applicable
thereto in accordance with the preceding sentence plus the Applicable Margin in
respect of Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans. A certificate of any
Foreign Currency Lender submitted to any Foreign Currency Participant with
respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

       (c) Whenever, at any time after any Foreign Currency Lender has received
from any Foreign Currency Participant the full amount owing by such Foreign
Currency Participant pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.18(a) in
respect of any Foreign Currency Loan, such Foreign Currency Lender receives any
payment related to such Foreign Currency Loan (whether directly from the
Borrower or otherwise, as the case may be, including proceeds of Collateral
applied thereto by such Foreign Currency Lender), or any payment of interest on
account thereof, such Foreign Currency Lender will distribute to such Foreign
Currency Participant its PRO RATA share thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any
such payment received by any Foreign Currency Lender shall be required to be
returned by such Foreign Currency Lender, each Foreign Currency Participant
shall return to such Foreign Currency Lender the portion thereof previously
distributed by such Foreign Currency Lender to it.

denominated in Dollars is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts
owing pursuant to Section 4.11. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any

received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time,
three Business Days before the date of prepayment) specifying the date and
amount of prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any
amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 and accrued interest to such date on
the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Foreign Currency Loans shall be in a
minimum principal amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of $1,000,000

Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(e).

       (b) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by any Group Member (other than

incurrence toward the prepayment of the Tranche C Term Loans as set forth in
Section 4.2(e).

       (c) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from

<Page>
                                                                              43

Section 4.2(e); PROVIDED, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate
Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales and Recovery Events that may be excluded from
the foregoing requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice (including any
Reinvestment Notice delivered under the Existing Credit Agreement) shall not
exceed $20,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower and (ii) on each
Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment
Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward
the prepayment of the Tranche C Term Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(e).

       (d) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2004, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower
shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the ECF
Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow toward the prepayment of the Tranche C Term
Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(e). Each such prepayment shall be made on a
date (an "EXCESS CASH FLOW APPLICATION DATE") no later than five days after the
earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower
referred to in Section 7.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such
prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the
date such financial statements are actually delivered.

       (e) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to
Section 4.2 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Tranche C Term Loans in
accordance with Section 4.8(b). The application of any prepayment pursuant to
Section 4.2 shall be made, FIRST, to Base Rate Loans and, SECOND, to
Eurocurrency Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 4.2 shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount
prepaid.

       (f) If, on any Calculation Date, (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Foreign Currency Loans exceeds an
amount equal to 105% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit or (ii) the Total
Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Revolving Commitments on such
date, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay such of
the outstanding Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving
effect thereto, (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Foreign Currency Loans does not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit
and (y) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit do not exceed the Total
Revolving Commitments, together with interest accrued to the date of such
payment or prepayment on the principal so prepaid if required hereby and any
amounts payable under Section 4.11 in connection therewith. Any prepayment of
Revolving Loans shall first be applied to prepay any outstanding Swingline
Loans. The Borrower may in lieu of prepaying Foreign Currency Loans in order to
comply with this paragraph deposit amounts in the relevant Foreign Currency
Currencies in a Cash Collateral Account in accordance with the next succeeding
sentence equal to the aggregate principal amount of Foreign Currency Loans
required to be prepaid. To the extent that after giving effect to any prepayment
of Loans required by this paragraph, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit at
such time exceed the Total Revolving Commitments at such time, the Borrower
shall, without notice or demand, immediately deposit in a Cash Collateral
Account upon terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent an amount
equal to the amount by which Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the
Total Revolving Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash
deposited in the Cash Collateral Account (to the extent thereof) to pay any
Reimbursement Obligations which are or become due thereafter and/or to repay
Foreign

<Page>
                                                                              44

Currency Loans at the end of the Interest Periods therefor, PROVIDED that, (x)
the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower from time to time such
portion of the amount on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account to the extent
such amount is not required to be so deposited in order for the Borrower to be
in compliance with this paragraph and (y) the Administrative Agent may so apply
such cash at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default. "CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT" means an account specifically
established by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent for purposes of this
Section 4.2 and hereby pledged to the Administrative Agent and over which the
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the
right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this Section 4.2.

       4.3. CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION OPTIONS. (a) The Borrower may elect from
time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate
Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days' prior
irrevocable notice of such election, PROVIDED that any such conversion of
Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars may only be made on the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time
to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars by
giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable
notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial
Interest Period therefor), PROVIDED that no Base Rate Loan under a particular
Facility may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars when
any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent
or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in
its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any
such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender
thereof.

       (b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of
the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of
the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, PROVIDED
that no Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars under a particular Facility may
be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of
such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such
continuations, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if the Borrower shall fail to give
any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation
is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurocurrency Loans
denominated in Dollars shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on
the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and, if the Borrower shall
fail to give such notice of continuation of a Foreign Currency Loan, such
Foreign Currency Loan shall be automatically continued for an Interest Period of
one month. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

       4.4. LIMITATIONS ON EUROCURRENCY TRANCHES. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of
Eurocurrency Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder
shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a)
after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency
Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to

<Page>
                                                                              45

$3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more
than ten Eurocurrency Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

       4.5. INTEREST RATES AND PAYMENT DATES. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall
bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day PLUS, in
the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, the Applicable Margin.

       (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate PLUS the Applicable Margin.

       (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or
Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would
otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section PLUS 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility PLUS 2%, and (ii) if
all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation
or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when
due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue
amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (A) the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility PLUS 2% (or, in the
case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the
rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility PLUS 2%),
in the case of amounts that are owing in Dollars, or (B)(I) the Eurocurrency
Rate in respect of the relevant Foreign Currency PLUS (II) 2%, in the case of
amounts owing that are denominated in Foreign Currencies, in each case, with
respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until
such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

       (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date,
PROVIDED that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall
be payable from time to time on demand.

       4.6. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. (a) Interest and fees payable
pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to (i) Base Rate Loans the rate
of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate and (ii)
Foreign Currency Loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling, the interest
thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be)
day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination
of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from
a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes
effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each
such change in interest rate.

       (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the
Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in
determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.5(a).

       4.7. INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATE. If prior to the first day of
any Interest Period:

              (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
       determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent
       manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
       market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
       Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period, or

              (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
       Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility or any
       Foreign Currency Lender that the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be
       determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
       reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such
       Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such
       Interest Period, or

              (c) a Foreign Currency Lender shall have determined (which
       determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, absent
       manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
       market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
       Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period in respect of any Foreign
       Currency (any such Foreign Currency is referred to as an "AFFECTED
       FOREIGN CURRENCY"),

the Administrative Agent (or the relevant Foreign Currency Lender in the case of
clause (c) above) shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the
Borrower and the relevant Lenders (and, in the case of any notice by a Foreign
Currency Lender, the Administrative Agent) as soon as practicable thereafter. If
such notice is given (x) pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 4.7 in
respect of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, then (i) any Eurocurrency
Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility requested to be made on
the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (ii) any
Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first
day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars shall
be continued as Base Rate Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans
denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the
last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans and (y) in
respect of any Foreign Currency Loans, then (i) any Foreign Currency Loans in an
Affected Foreign Currency requested to be made on the first day of such Interest
Period shall not be made and (ii) any outstanding Foreign Currency Loans in an
Affected Foreign Currency shall be due and payable on the first day of such
Interest Period. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative
Agent (or the relevant Foreign Currency Lender in the case of clause (c) above),
no further Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility
or Foreign Currency Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency shall be made or
continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under
the relevant Facility to Eurocurrency Loans.

       4.8. PRO RATA TREATMENT AND PAYMENTS. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower
from the Lenders hereunder (other than the Foreign Currency Lenders), each
payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of
the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the
respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the
relevant Lenders. Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Foreign Currency
Lenders, each payment by the Borrower on account of any fronting fee and any
reduction of the Foreign Currency Sublimit shall be made PRO RATA to the Foreign
Currency Lenders.

       (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account
of principal of and interest on the Tranche C Term Loans shall be made PRO RATA
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche C Term
Loans then held by the Tranche C Lenders. The amount of each principal
prepayment of the Tranche C Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then
remaining installments of the Tranche C Term Loans PRO RATA based upon the then
remaining principal amount thereof. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the
Tranche C Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

       (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account
of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made PRO RATA
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans
then held by the Revolving Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing
Lender that issued such Letters of Credit. Each payment (including each
prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the
Foreign Currency Loans shall be made PRO RATA according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Foreign Currency Loans then held by the
Foreign Currency Lenders.

       (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower
hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall
be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the
Lenders or the Foreign Currency Lenders, as applicable, promptly upon receipt in
like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the
Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any
payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment
into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment
of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be
payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

       (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing
by any Lender or Foreign Currency Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender
or Foreign Currency Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its
share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender or

<Page>
                                                                              48

Foreign Currency Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made
available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date
therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such
amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds
Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately
available to the Administrative Agent. If such amount is not made available to
the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor,
such Foreign Currency Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand,
such amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum reasonably determined by
the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount for the
period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any
Lender or Foreign Currency Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this
paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's
share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by
such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the
Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest
thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant
Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. If such Foreign Currency Lender's share
of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such
Foreign Currency Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the
Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest
thereon at a rate per annum reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to
be the cost to it of funding such amount, on demand, from the Borrower.

       (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing
by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such
payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders or the Foreign
Currency Lenders their respective PRO RATA shares of a corresponding amount. If
such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within
three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was
made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest
thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective
Rate. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower
within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Foreign Currency Lender to which
any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such
amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount. Nothing herein
shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
any Foreign Currency Lender against the Borrower.

       4.9. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance
by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to
the date hereof:

<Page>
                                                                              49

              (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever
       with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or
       any Eurocurrency Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of
       payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes
       covered by Section 4.10 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
       income of such Lender);

              (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
       deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by,
       deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans
       or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by,
       any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the
       determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder; or

              (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender,
by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or issuing or participating in
Letters of Credit or participating in Foreign Currency Loans, or to reduce any
amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the
Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled.

       (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of
Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy)
by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after
submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation
for such reduction; PROVIDED that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more
than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such
Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that,
if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then
such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such
retroactive effect.

       (c) If any Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction of any Foreign
Currency (or any other jurisdiction in which the funding operations of any
Foreign Currency Lender shall be conducted with respect to such Foreign
Currency) shall have in effect any reserve, liquid asset

<Page>
                                                                              50

or similar requirement with respect to any category of deposits or liabilities
customarily used to fund loans in such Foreign Currency, or by reference to
which interest rates applicable to loans in such Foreign Currency are
determined, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to
such Foreign Currency Lender of making or maintaining any Foreign Currency Loan
in such Foreign Currency, and such Foreign Currency Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower a notice requesting compensation under this paragraph, then the
Borrower will pay to such Foreign Currency Lender on each Interest Payment Date
with respect to each affected Foreign Currency Loan an amount that will
compensate such Foreign Currency Lender for such additional cost.

       (d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) setting forth the basis of calculation of such additional
amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of
the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

       (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, (i)(A) the
adoption of any law, rule or regulation after the date of this Agreement, (B)
any change in any law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or
application thereof by any Governmental Authority after the date of this
Agreement or (C) compliance by any Lender with any request, guideline or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority
made or issued after the date of this Agreement, shall make it unlawful for any
such Foreign Currency Lender to make or maintain any Foreign Currency Loan or to
give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any
Foreign Currency Loan, or (ii) there shall have occurred any change in national
or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the
imposition of or any change in exchange controls, but excluding conditions
otherwise covered by this Section 4.9) which would make it impracticable for any
Foreign Currency Lenders to make or maintain Foreign Currency Loans denominated
in the relevant currency after the date hereof to, or for the account of, the
Borrower, then:

              (i) by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative
       Agent, such Foreign Currency Lender or Foreign Currency Lenders may
       declare that Foreign Currency Loans (in the affected currency or
       currencies) will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness)
       be made by such Foreign Currency Lender or Foreign Currency Lenders
       hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods), whereupon
       any request for a Foreign Currency Loan (in the affected currency or
       currencies) or to continue a Foreign Currency Loan (in the affected
       currency or currencies), as the case may be, for an additional Interest
       Period) shall, as to such Foreign Currency Lender or Foreign Currency
       Lenders only, be of no force and effect, unless such declaration shall be
       subsequently withdrawn; and

              (ii) all outstanding Foreign Currency Loans (in the affected
       currency or currencies), made by such Foreign Currency Lender or Foreign
       Currency Lenders shall be repaid on the last day of the then current
       Interest Period with respect thereto or, if earlier, the date on which
       the applicable notice becomes effective.

<Page>
                                                                              51

       (f) For purposes of Section 4.9(e), a notice to the Borrower by any
Foreign Currency Lender shall be effective as to each Foreign Currency Loan made
by such Foreign Currency Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest
Period currently applicable to such Foreign Currency Loan; in all other cases
such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Borrower.

       4.10. TAXES. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding
net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes)
imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection
between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental
Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such
Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees, deductions or withholdings ("NON-EXCLUDED TAXES") or Other Taxes are
required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender
hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after
payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other
amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
Agreement, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Borrower shall not be required to
increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded
Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the
requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United
States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time
such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending
office, except to the extent that such Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled,
at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with
respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

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

       (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the
Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the
Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant
Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official
receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails
to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or
other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and
the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

       (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a "U.S. Person" as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "NON-U.S. LENDER") shall deliver to the
Borrower and the

<Page>
                                                                              52

Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which
the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a
Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under
Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio
interest", a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and a Form W-8BEN,
or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and
duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a
reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered
by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this
Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such
Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S.
Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of
any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender
shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no
longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the
Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing
authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant
to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

       (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower
is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to
payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate, PROVIDED that such Lender is
legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such
Lender's judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially
prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

       (f) The agreements in this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

       (g) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund
attributable to any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower or
for which the Lender or the Administrative Agent has received payment from the
Borrower hereunder, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, within 30 days of
such receipt, shall deliver to the Borrower the amount of such refund (including
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund); PROVIDED HOWEVER, that the Borrower agrees to repay the amount paid
over to the Borrower (PLUS any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent
in the event that such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. In addition, upon a written request
by the Borrower, any Lender and the Administrative Agent shall timely execute
and deliver to the Borrower such certificates, forms or other documents which
can be reasonably furnished consistent with the facts to assist the Borrower in
applying for refunds of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes remitted hereunder,
unless to do so will unduly prejudice or cause undue hardship to such Lender or
the Administrative Agent (as determined in

<Page>
                                                                              53

the reasonable discretion of such Lender or the Administrative Agent). This
paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to
its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

       4.11. INDEMNITY. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold
each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of,
conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has
given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion
from Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans
pursuant to Section 3.18(a), in each case, on a day that is not the last day of
an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would
have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or
continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to
borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would
have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate
of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the
Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on
such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any
amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

       4.12. CHANGE OF LENDING OFFICE. Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or
4.10(b) 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 affected by such event with the
object of avoiding the consequences of such event; PROVIDED, that such
designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause
such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that nothing in this Section shall affect
or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender
pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.10(b).

       4.13. REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace
any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section
4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.10(b) or (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans
hereunder, with a replacement financial institution; PROVIDED that (i) such
replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement,
(iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action
under Section 4.12 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts
owing pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.10(b), (iv) the replacement
financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and

<Page>
                                                                              54

other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of
replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under
Section 4.11 if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be
purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto,
(vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11.6, (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated,
the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to
Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.10(b), as the case may be, and (ix) any such
replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced
Lender.

       4.14. EVIDENCE OF DEBT. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to
time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

       (b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain
the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each
Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder
and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest
Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder
and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof.

       (c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender
maintained pursuant to Section 4.14(a) shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be PRIMA FACIE evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or
any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to
the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

       (d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative
Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a
promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Tranche C Term Loans, Revolving
Credit Loans or Swingline Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender,
substantially in the forms of Exhibit H-1, H-2 or I, respectively, with
appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

       4.15. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such
Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, continue Eurocurrency Loans as such
and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall forthwith be canceled
and (b) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans, if any,
shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days
of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such
earlier period as required by

<Page>
                                                                              55

law. If any such conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not
the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to Section 4.11.

       4.16. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M., New
York City time, on each Calculation Date with respect to a Foreign Currency, the
Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation
Date with respect to such Foreign Currency, PROVIDED that, upon receipt of a
borrowing request pursuant to Section 3.16 or a request for a Letter of Credit
denominated in a Foreign Currency pursuant to Section 3.8, the Administrative
Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate with respect to the relevant Foreign
Currency in accordance with the foregoing (it being acknowledged and agreed that
the Administrative Agent shall use such Exchange Rate for the purposes of
determining compliance with Section 3.15 with respect to such borrowing request
or Application). The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the
first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a "RESET
DATE"), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date and shall
for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 3.18(a), 4.7, 11.18 or
any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be
the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and
Foreign Currencies.

       (b) No later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on each Reset Date and
each Borrowing Date with respect to Foreign Currency Loans, the Administrative
Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of the
principal amounts of the Foreign Currency Loans then outstanding (after giving
effect to any Foreign Currency Loans to be made or repaid on such date and the
aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations then outstanding).

       (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each
determination of an Exchange Rate hereunder.

                    SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

       To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to
make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower
hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that:

         5.1. FINANCIAL CONDITION. (a) The audited consolidated balance
sheets of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2001
and December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income and of
cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, as amended or restated
prior to the Effective Date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified
report from KPMG LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the
Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective
fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2003, and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the six-month
period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition
of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the
consolidated results of its

<Page>
                                                                              56

operations and its consolidated cash flows for the six-month period then ended
(subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements,
including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved
(except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed
therein). No Group Member has any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent
liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual
forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign
currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of
derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements
referred to in this paragraph or disclosed in Sections 5.2 through 5.22. During
the period from December 31, 2002 to and including the date hereof there has
been no Disposition by the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries of any
material part of its business or property.

       (b) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Target and its
consolidated Subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 28, 2002 and the
related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the nine-month
period ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified
report from Deloitte & Touche LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of the Target and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and
the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for
the nine-month period then ended. The reviewed unaudited balance sheet of the
Target and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 28, 2003, and the related
reviewed unaudited consolidated statement of income and cash flows for the
nine-month period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of the Target and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date, and
the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for
the nine-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end adjustments).

       5.2. NO CHANGE. Since December 31, 2002 there has been no development or
event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

       5.3. CORPORATE EXISTENCE; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Each Group Member (a) is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal
right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as
lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct
of its business requires such qualification, except to the extent that the
failure to so qualify could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith
could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

       5.4. POWER; AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATIONS. Each Loan Party has
the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the
Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to
obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary
organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to
authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act
by or in respect of, any

<Page>
                                                                              57

Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the
Acquisition or the Refinancing and the extensions of credit hereunder or with
the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations,
filings and notices described in Schedule 5.4, which consents, authorizations,
filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect
and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 5.19. Each Loan Document has been
duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This
Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party
thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

       5.5. NO LEGAL BAR. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the
borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any
Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will
not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of
their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or
any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security
Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

       5.6. LITIGATION. Except as described on Schedule 5.6, no litigation,
investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or
against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or
revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       5.7. NO DEFAULT. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to
any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.

       5.8. OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY; LIENS. Each Group Member has title in fee
simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property material to
its business, and, to its knowledge, good title to, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all its other property, and none of such property is subject to any
Lien except as permitted by Section 8.3, and as set forth on Schedule B to each
Title Policy.

       5.9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to
use, all material Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its
business as currently conducted. No claim has been asserted and is pending by
any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or
the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the
Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim, except such claims that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the

<Page>
                                                                              58

knowledge of the Borrower, the use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member
does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect.

       5.10. TAXES. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all
Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and
has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any
assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or
other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority
(other than any taxes the amount or validity of which are currently being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which
reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant
Group Member); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other
charge.

       5.11. FEDERAL REGULATIONS. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no
other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for "buying" or "carrying"
any "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms
under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any
purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If
requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish
to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect
in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as
applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

       5.12. LABOR MATTERS. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other
labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees each
Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any
other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all
payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare
insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant
Group Member.

       5.13. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated funding
deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of
ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this
representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan
has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA
and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien
in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period that
would result in a material liability. The present value of all accrued benefits
under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such
Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which
this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of
such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount in relation to
the business of the Borrower. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled
Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that
has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability
under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would
become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such
Commonly Controlled Entity were to

<Page>
                                                                              59

withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most
closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made.
No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

       5.14. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT; OTHER REGULATIONS. No Loan Party is an
"investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company",
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan
Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than
Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

       5.15. SUBSIDIARIES. Except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent by
the Borrower in writing from time to time after the Effective Date, (a) Schedule
5.15(a) sets forth the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary
and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock
owned by any Loan Party and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options,
warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock
options granted to employees, directors or other persons and directors'
qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary, except as created by the Loan Documents or, as of the
Effective Date, except as disclosed on Schedule 5.15(b).

       5.16. USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Tranche C Term Loans shall be
used to finance the Acquisition and the Refinancing, to pay fees and expenses
related thereto and for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used, together with
the proceeds of the Swingline Loans and the Letters of Credit, for general
corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the
Foreign Currency Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

       5.17. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Except as, in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

              (a) the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by any
       Group Member (the "SUBJECT PROPERTIES") do not contain, and have not
       previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts
       or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or constituted a
       violation of, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability
       under, any applicable Environmental Law;

              (b) no Group Member has received or is aware of any notice of
       violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential
       liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with
       Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Subject Properties or the
       business operated by any Group Member (the "BUSINESS"), nor does the
       Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be
       received or is being threatened;

              (c) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported
       or disposed of from the Subject Properties in violation of, or in a
       manner or to a location that could

<Page>
                                       60

       reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any applicable
       Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been
       generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the
       Subject Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could reasonably
       be expected to give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental
       Law;

              (d) no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative
       action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under
       any Environmental Law to which any Group Member is or, to the knowledge
       of the Borrower, will be named as a party with respect to the Subject
       Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other
       decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other
       administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any
       Environmental Law with respect to the Subject Properties or the Business;

              (e) there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of
       Environmental Concern at or from the Subject Properties, or arising from
       or related to the operations of any Group Member in connection with the
       Subject Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in
       violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could reasonably be
       expected to give rise to liability under any applicable Environmental
       Laws;

              (f) the Subject Properties and all operations at the Subject
       Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in
       compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no
       violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the Subject
       Properties or the Business; and

              (g) no Group Member has assumed or retained any liability of any
       other Person under Environmental Laws.

       5.18. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION, ETC. No statement or information contained
in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential Information
Memorandum or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or on
behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of
them, for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement,
information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the
Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the date of this Agreement), any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The
projections contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good
faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be
reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such
financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact
and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial
information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a
material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly
disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information
Memorandum or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

                                                                              61

       5.19. SECURITY DOCUMENTS. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is
effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral
described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock of the
Target and its Subsidiaries described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement,
when stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the
Administrative Agent or such other action is taken with respect to Pledged Stock
of Foreign Subsidiaries as specified in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement,
and in the case of the Collateral owned by the Target and its Subsidiaries
described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements
and other filings specified on Schedule 5.19(a) in appropriate form are filed in
the offices specified on Schedule 5.19(a) for the Target and its Subsidiaries,
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien
on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Target and
its Subsidiaries in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for
the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each
case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of
Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 8.3). In the
case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
(other than the Pledged Stock of the Target and its Subsidiaries) stock
certificates representing such Pledged Stock having been delivered to the
Administrative Agent, together with proper endorsements executed in blank and
such other action having been taken with respect to Pledged Stock of Foreign
Subsidiaries as specified in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and in the
case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
(other than Collateral owned by the Target and its Subsidiaries), financing
statements specified on Schedule 5.19(a) having been filed in the offices
specified on Schedule 5.19(a), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
constitutes a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right,
title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds
thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other
Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens
permitted by Section 8.3).

       (b) Each Mortgage (as amended by the respective Mortgage Amendment) is
effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Lenders (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), a legal, valid
and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds
thereof, and when the Mortgages or Mortgage Amendments, as applicable, are filed
in the offices specified on Schedule 5.19(b), such Mortgage or Existing Mortgage
(as amended by the respective Mortgage Amendment), as the case may be, shall
constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title
and interest of the Loan Parties in such Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds
thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage or
Existing Mortgage (as amended by the respective Mortgage Amendment)), in each
case prior and superior in right to any other Person, subject to the exceptions
set forth on Schedule B to the applicable Title Policy and the Liens permitted
under Section 8.3. Schedule 1.1(a) lists each parcel of real property in the
United States owned in fee simple by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as
of the Effective Date.

<Page>
                                                                              62

       5.20. SOLVENCY. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the
Acquisition and the Refinancing and the incurrence of all Indebtedness and
obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith will be and will
continue to be, Solvent.

       5.21. SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. The Obligations (x) constitute "Senior Debt"
and "Designated Senior Debt" of the Borrower under and as defined in the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture and (y) are the only existing "Designated Senior
Debt" under the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture. The obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitute
"GUARANTOR SENIOR DEBT" of such Subsidiary Guarantor under and as defined in the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture.

       5.22. REGULATION H. As of the Effective Date, except as specified on
Schedule 5.22, no Mortgage encumbers improved real property that is located in
an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance
has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968.

       5.23. MATERIAL CONTRACTS. (a) As of the Effective Date, (i) each Material
Contract is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each party thereto enforceable in accordance with its terms and
(ii) no Group Member is in default of any material provision of any Material
Contract.

       (b) To the best knowledge of the Borrower, (i) there has been no default,
breach or other violation of any Material Contract and (ii) no Governmental
Authority has any basis for terminating any Material Contract other than
customary termination provisions relating to convenience and other similar
provisions, except, in each case, as could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

       (c) To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no Governmental Authority has
delivered notice of or otherwise demonstrated its intention to exercise its
option to terminate a Material Contract on the basis of clause (b)(ii) above
between itself and any of the Group Members, except for any such termination
that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       (d) Schedule 5.23 sets forth each material contract between any Group
Member and any Governmental Authority in effect on the Effective Date.

                         SECTION 6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

       6.1. CONDITIONS TO INITIAL EXTENSION OF CREDIT. The agreement of each
Lender to make the initial extension of credit requested to be made by it is

have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other
obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After
all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all
Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of
the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid
in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned
to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).
Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest
and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

                             SECTION 10. THE AGENTS

       10.1. APPOINTMENT. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes such Agent, in
such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities,
except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

       (b) The Issuing Lender and the Foreign Currency Lenders shall act on
behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit and Foreign
Currency Loans issued or made under this Agreement and the documents associated
therewith. It is understood and agreed

<Page>
                                                                              91

that the Issuing Lender and the Foreign Currency Lenders (i) shall have all of
the benefits and immunities (x) provided to the Agents in this Section 10 with
respect to acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender and Foreign
Currency Lenders in connection with Letters of Credit and Foreign Currency Loans
issued or made under this Agreement and the documents associated therewith as
fully as if the term "Agents", as used in this Section 10, included the Issuing
Lender and the Foreign Currency Lenders with respect to such acts or omissions
and (y) as additionally provided in this Agreement and (ii) shall have all of
the benefits of the provisions of Section 10.7 as fully as if the term "Agents",
as used in Section 10.7, included the Issuing Lender and the Foreign Currency
Lenders.

       10.2 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.

       10.3. EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. Neither any Agent nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be
taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by
a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct)
or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer
thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any
Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of
the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

       10.4. RELIANCE BY AGENTS. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message,
statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or
Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to
the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent.
The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice
or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement,
all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or

<Page>
                                                                              92

continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or,
if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders
and all future holders of the Loans.

       10.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULT. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless
such Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to
the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required
Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other
instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); PROVIDED that unless
and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

       10.6. NON-RELIANCE ON AGENTS AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter
taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a
Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any
Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of
a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or
any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates.

       10.7. INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its
capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their
respective Aggregate Exposure

<Page>
                                                                              93

Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this
Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the
Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full,
ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior
to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment
of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any
way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken
or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
PROVIDED that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall
survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

       10.8. AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Each Agent and its affiliates may
make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its
Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or
participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall
include each Agent in its individual capacity.

       10.9 SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent may resign
as Administrative Agent upon ten days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.
If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint
from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent
shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or Section 9(f) with
respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to
approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and
duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall
mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the
former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent
shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any
holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as
Administrative Agent by the date that is ten days following a retiring
Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
agent, which agent shall be (a) a bank organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States or any state thereof, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and having a total shareholder equity
aggregating at least $1,000,000,000 and (b) unless an Event of Default under

<Page>
                                                                              94

Section 9(a) or Section 9(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred
and be continuing, be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Syndication Agent may, at any
time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as
Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and
responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be
assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any
further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

       10.10. AGENTS GENERALLY. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent
shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

       10.11. THE LEAD ARRANGER. The Lead Arranger, in its capacity as such,
shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under
this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

                            SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

       11.1. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or
modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1. The
Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may,
or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time,
(a) enter into written amendments, consents, supplements or modifications hereto
and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of
the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such
terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the
case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its
consequences; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such waiver and no such amendment,
supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the
final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any
amortization payment in respect of any Tranche C Term Loan, reduce the stated
rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the
waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates, which
waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of
each adversely affected Facility and (y) that any amendment or modification of
defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this
clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the
amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender's Revolving Commitment, in
each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.1
without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage
specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or
transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or

<Page>
                                                                              95

substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the
Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv) amend,
modify or waive any condition precedent to any extension of credit under the
Revolving Facility set forth in Section 6.2 (including in connection with any
waiver of an existing Default or Event of Default) without the written consent
of the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Facility; (v)
amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 3.15 through 3.18 without the
written consent of all the Foreign Currency Lenders; (vi) amend, modify or waive
any provision of Section 4.8 without the written consent of the Majority
Facility Lenders in respect of each Facility adversely affected thereby; (vii)
reduce the amount of Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow required to be
applied to prepay Loans under this Agreement without the written consent of the
Majority Facility Lenders with respect to each Facility that are scheduled to be
prepaid; (viii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority
Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all
Lenders under such Facility; (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 10 without the written consent of each Agent adversely affected thereby;
(x) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3.3 or 3.4 without the
written consent of the Swingline Lender; or (xi) amend, modify or waive any
provision of Sections 3.7 to 3.14 without the written consent of each Issuing
Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall
apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties,
the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any
waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any
Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

       Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended
and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or
more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions
of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and
fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents with the Tranche C Term Loans and Revolving Extensions
of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to
include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any
determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders.

       In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended
with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the
Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as
defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Tranche C Term Loans
("REFINANCED TERM LOANS") with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder
("REPLACEMENT TERM LOANS"), PROVIDED that (a) the aggregate principal amount of
such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of
such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term
Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term
Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans
shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such
Refinanced Term Loans at the time

<Page>
                                                                              96

of such refinancing and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term
Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders
providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced
Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other
terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Tranche C
Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

       11.4. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and

Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by
a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert,
and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for

(including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of
Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each
Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section.

       (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (ii) below, any
Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an "ASSIGNEE") all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior
written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

              (A) the Borrower, PROVIDED that, no consent of the Borrower shall
       be required for (x) any assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender
       or an Approved Fund (as defined below), (y) any assignment of the
       Revolving Commitments or the Revolving Loans if an Event of Default has
       occurred and is continuing and (z) any assignment of the Tranche C Term
       Loans;

              (B) the Administrative Agent, PROVIDED that no consent of the
       Administrative Agent shall be required for (x) an assignment to an
       Assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such
       assignment, except in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment
       to an Assignee that does not already have a Revolving Commitment and (y)
       any assignment of Tranche C Term Loans; and

<Page>
                                                                              99

              (C) in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, each
       Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender; and in the case of all such
       assignments, subject to notice to the Syndication Agent.

       (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

              (A) no assignment may be made to an Ineligible Assignee;

              (B) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate
       of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining
       amount of the assigning Lender's Commitments or Loans under any Facility,
       the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
       each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
       Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
       Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of
       the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, PROVIDED
       that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of
       Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be
       aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved
       Funds, if any;

              (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
       the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
       processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (treating simultaneous
       assignments by a Lender to two or more Approved Funds of such Lender as a
       single assignment);

              (D) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to
       the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; and

              (E) in the case of an assignment by a Lender to a CLO (as defined
       below) managed or administered by such Lender or an Affiliate of such
       Lender, the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any
       amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and
       the other Loan Documents, PROVIDED that the Assignment and Assumption
       between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not,
       without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or
       waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected
       thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1
       and (2) directly affects such CLO.

For the purposes of this Section 11.6, the terms "Approved Fund" and "CLO" have
the following meanings:

              "APPROVED FUND" means (a) with respect to any Lender, a CLO
       managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender and (b) with
       respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests in bank loans and
       similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans
       and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment
       advisor as such Lender or by an affiliate of such investment advisor.

                                                                             100

              "CLO" means any entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust
       or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise
       investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary
       course of its business and is administered or managed by a Lender or an
       affiliate of such Lender.

       (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph
(b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5 relating to the period during which it was a Lender).
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

       (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the
Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

       (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee's completed
administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)
of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

       (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
(a "PARTICIPANT") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the
Loans owing to it); PROVIDED that (A) such Lender's obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (C) the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide

<Page>
                                                                             101

that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; PROVIDED that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or
waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby
pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1 and (2) directly
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender, PROVIDED such
Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

       (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 4.9, 4.10 or 4.11 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower's prior written consent. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 unless such Participant
complies with Section 4.10(d).

       (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment
of a security interest; PROVIDED that no such pledge or assignment of a security
interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In
the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender
may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, assign or
pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the
Tranche C Term Loans and Notes representing such Tranche C Term Loans or any
other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any
holder or, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations
owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or
securities; PROVIDED that any foreclosure or similar action by such trustee or
representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Section concerning
assignments.

       (e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant
Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate
transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

       (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or
all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without
the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to
the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(b). The Borrower, each Lender and the
Agents hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or
join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any
state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in
full of the

<Page>
                                                                             102

latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to
indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost,
damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding
against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

       11.7. ADJUSTMENTS; SET-OFF. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement
expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the
Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a "BENEFITTED LENDER")
shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall
immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9, receive any payment of
all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect
thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or
proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise), in a
greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other
Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such
Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating
interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or
shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as
shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment
or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; PROVIDED,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is
thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest.

       (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by
law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any
such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower
hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set
off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any
other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made
by such Lender, PROVIDED that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such setoff and application.

       11.8. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of
said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the
parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

       11.9. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any

<Page>
                                                                             103

such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

       11.10. INTEGRATION. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent
the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to
the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings,
representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to subject
matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan
Documents.

       11.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

       11.12. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:

              (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
       proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
       which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment
       in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the
       courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the
       Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

              (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in
       such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to
       the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such
       action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not
       to plead or claim the same;

              (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or
       proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
       certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
       prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 11.2 or at
       such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been
       notified pursuant thereto;

              (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
       service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit
       the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

              (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right
       it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding
       referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or
       consequential damages.

       11.13. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

              (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution
       and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

<Page>
                                                                             104

              (b) no Agent or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty
       to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or
       any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agents
       and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in
       connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;
       and

              (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan
       Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated
       hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.

       11.14. RELEASES OF GUARANTEES AND LIENS. (a) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative
Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of
notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 11.1)
to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any
Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit
consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document, including
any Tax Reorganization, or that has been consented to in accordance with Section
11.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

       (b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the
other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than obligations under or in
respect of Hedge Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have
been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Collateral
shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the
Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to
survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under
the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument
or performance of any act by any Person.

       11.15. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to keep
confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party
pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as
confidential; PROVIDED that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender
from disclosing any such information (a) to any Agent, any other Lender or any
Lender Affiliate, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of
this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect
counterparty to any Hedge Agreement (or any professional advisor to such
counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants
and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates, (d) upon the
request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of
any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required
pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in
connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly

exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind,
the tax treatment

<Page>
                                                                             105

and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all
materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analysis) that are
provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any
such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to
be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable
federal or state securities laws.

       11.16. WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION
OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY
COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

       11.17. DELIVERY OF ADDENDA. Each initial Lender shall become a party to
this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Addendum duly
executed by such Lender.

       11.18. CONVERSION OF CURRENCIES. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining
judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one
currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent
that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at
which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant
jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on
the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

       (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any
party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the "APPLICABLE
CREDITOR") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "JUDGMENT
CURRENCY") other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due
hereunder (the "AGREEMENT CURRENCY"), be discharged only to the extent that, on
the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase
the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained
in this Section 11.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

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

<Page>
                                                                             106

interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods
shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

       11.20. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE EXISTING CREDIT
AGREEMENT. On the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be
amended, restated and superseded in its entirety. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed
and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation,
payment and reborrowing, or termination of the "Obligations" (as defined in the
Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect
prior to the Effective Date and (b) such "Obligations" are in all respects
continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being
modified as provided in this Agreement.

       11.21. SPECIAL PROVISIONS. (a) On the Effective Date, each Revolving
Lender that is not party to the Existing Credit Agreement and each Lender whose
Revolving Commitment exceeds its Revolving Commitment (as defined in the
Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed
to have purchased the Revolving Commitments of each Lender whose Revolving
Commitment is less than its Revolving Commitment (as defined in the Existing
Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement and/or increased its
Revolving Commitment such that the Revolving Commitment of each relevant Lender
will be as set forth in the Lender Addendum for such Lender. Each such Lender
agrees that the provisions of Section 2 of the form of Assignment and
Acceptance, attached hereto as Exhibit E, shall apply to it MUTATIS MUTANDIS.

       (b) The Lenders (which are Revolving Lenders under the Existing Credit
Agreement) hereby waive any requirements for notice of prepayment, commitment
terminations, minimum amounts of prepayments of Revolving Loans (as defined in
the Existing Credit Agreement), ratable reductions of Revolving Commitments (as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and ratable payments on account of the
principal or interest of any Revolving Loan (as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent such prepayment,
reductions or payments are required pursuant to Section 6.1(p).

       (c) The Lenders (which are Term Lenders under the Existing Credit
Agreement) hereby waive any requirements for notice of prepayment, minimum
amounts of prepayments of Existing Term Loans and ratable payments on account of
the principal or interest of any Existing Term Loan under the Existing Credit
Agreement to the extent such prepayment, reductions or payments are required
pursuant to Section 6.1(p).

       (d) The Revolving Lenders hereby confirm that, from and after the
Effective Date, all participations of the Revolving Lenders in respect of
Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder pursuant to Section 3.7(a) shall be
based upon the Revolving Percentages of the Lenders (after giving effect to this
Agreement).

       (e) The Lenders hereby confirm that, from and after the making of the
initial Loans, all participations of the Lenders in respect of Foreign Currency
Loans outstanding

                                                                             107

hereunder pursuant to Section 3.18(a) shall be based upon the Revolving
Percentages of the Lenders (after giving effect to this Agreement).

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
