Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We refer to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 31, 2000,
as amended by the First Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement dated October
23, 2000, the Second Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement dated February 20,
2001, the Third Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement dated June 12, 2001, the
Fourth Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2001, the
Fifth Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement dated August 28, 2001, the Sixth
Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement dated October 26, 2001, the Seventh
Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement and First Amendment to Security
Agreement dated as of January 8, 2002, the Eighth Amendment to Revolving Credit
Agreement dated as of May 1, 2002 and the Ninth Amendment to Revolving Credit
Agreement dated July 26, 2002 (said Agreement, as so amended, herein called the
"Credit Agreement"), among THQ Inc. (the "Borrower"), Union Bank of California,
N.A. as sole lender (the "Lender"), and Union Bank of California, N.A. as
administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Agent") for itself as Lender, as
syndication agent and as arranger. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein have the same respective meanings when used herein, and
the rules of interpretation set forth in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the Credit
Agreement are incorporated by reference herein.

        1. The Borrower has requested that the Lender waive the provisions of
Section 6.2(g) of the Credit Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the
Borrower to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate
purchase price of up to $25,000,000. The Lender is willing to grant such waiver
on the terms and conditions set forth in this waiver letter.

        2. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Lender and the Agent that (a) the representations and warranties contained in
the Credit Documents are correct in all material respects on and as of the date
of this waiver letter, before and after giving effect to the same, as if made on
and as of such date, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would
result from the effectiveness of this waiver letter, that constitutes a Default.

        3. This waiver letter shall become effective when the Agent has received
a fee of $7,500 and all of the following documents, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent and in the number of originals requested thereby: (a)
this waiver letter, duly executed by the Borrower and the Lender; (b) a consent
to this waiver letter, duly executed by THQ/Jakks; and (c) such other approvals,
opinions, evidence and documents as the Lender may reasonably request.

        4. On and after the effective date of this waiver letter, each reference
in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder," "hereof," "herein" or
words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in
the other Credit Documents to "the Credit Agreement," "thereunder," "thereof,"
"therein" or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean
and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified by this waiver letter.
The Credit Agreement, as modified by this waiver letter, is and shall continue
to be in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all
respects. Except as specifically provided herein, the execution, delivery and
effectiveness of this waiver letter shall not operate as a waiver of any right,
power or remedy of the Agent or the Lender under any of the Credit Documents or
constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Credit Documents.

        5. This waiver letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
waiver letter.

the Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume

be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

will repay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the outstanding principal

        Section 2.6 Interest.

           (a) The Borrower will pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of
each Advance, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount has been
paid in full, (i) during such periods as such Advance is a Reference Rate
Advance, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Reference Rate in effect
from time to time, payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each
calendar month during such periods and on the Commitment Termination Date, and
(ii) during such periods as such Advance is a LIBOR Advance, at a rate per annum
equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of
LIBOR for such Interest Period for such Advance plus 1.60% per annum, payable on
the last day of such Interest Period.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

           (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Default,
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender
shall instead accrue at a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of the
otherwise applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum, and such interest shall
be payable on demand.

           (c) If the Borrower fails to select the duration of any Interest
Period for any LIBOR Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the
definition of "Interest Period" in Section 1.1, the Agent will forthwith so
notify the Borrower and the Lenders, and such Advances shall automatically, on
the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into
Reference Rate Advances.

        Section 2.7 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may on any Business Day,
in the case of Reference Rate Advances upon prior written notice not later than
9:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on the day of any prepayment of such Advances, and
in the case of LIBOR Advances upon at least 3 Business Days' prior written
notice, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of
the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower will, prepay the
outstanding principal amounts of the Advances making up a Borrowing in whole or
ratably in part, together, in the case of LIBOR Advances, with accrued interest
to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided,
however, that any prepayment of LIBOR Advances shall be made on, and only on,
the last day of an Interest Period for such Advances; and further provided,
however, that each partial prepayment shall be in the aggregate principal amount
of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

        Section 2.8 Conversion of Advances.

           (a) The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon prior written notice
in the form of Exhibit C (a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation") signed by an
Authorized Officer and given to the Agent (a) with respect to any Conversion to
Reference Rate Advances, not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on the
Business Day immediately preceding the date of the proposed Conversion and (b)
with respect to any Conversion to LIBOR Advances, not later than 11:00 a.m., Los
Angeles time, on the third Business Day before the date of the proposed
Conversion, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.2 and 3.3, Convert all the
Advances of one Type making up the same Borrowing into Advances of another Type;
provided, however, that any Conversion of LIBOR Advances into Reference Rate
Advances shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for
such LIBOR Advances. Each notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions
specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to
be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into LIBOR Advances, the duration
of the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each Notice of Conversion
shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

           (b) On any date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
LIBOR Advances composing any Borrowing is reduced, by payment or prepayment or
otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert
into Reference Rate Advances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
any Default, (A) each LIBOR Advance shall automatically, on the last day of the
then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

Reference Rate Advance, and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to
Convert Advances into, LIBOR Advances shall be suspended.

B. LETTERS OF CREDIT

        Section 2.9 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

           (a) The Borrower and THQI shall be entitled to request the issuance
of Letters of Credit by giving the Issuing Bank a Letter of Credit Request at
least 1 Business Day before the requested date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit (which shall be a Business Day). Any Letter of Credit Request received by
the Issuing Bank later than 3:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, shall be deemed to have
been received on the next Business Day. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be
delivered by computer, telecopier or other electronic means (subject to the
terms and conditions of any agreement with respect thereto entered into by the
Issuing Bank with the Borrower or THQI, as applicable), shall be signed by an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower or THQI, as applicable, shall be irrevocable,
shall be effective upon receipt by the Issuing Bank and shall, if submitted by
the Borrower, specify whether it is being submitted in connection with the
purchase of Inventory by the Borrower or by THQ/Jakks. Provided that a valid
Letter of Credit Request has been received by the Issuing Bank and upon
fulfillment of the other applicable conditions set forth in Article 4, the
Issuing Bank will issue the requested Letter of Credit. No Letter of Credit
shall have an expiration date later than 90 days after the Commitment
Termination Date.

           (b) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and
each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and received from the Issuing
Bank, in each case irrevocably and without any further action by any party, an
undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit, each drawing
thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect
thereof in an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction the numerator of
which is the amount of the Commitment of such Lender and the denominator of
which is the aggregate amount of all of the Commitments and (ii) the maximum
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (assuming compliance
with all conditions to drawing).

           (c) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Issuing Bank,
the Lenders and the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon Letter of Credit
Requests delivered to the Issuing Bank from time to time by Authorized Officers
of THQI and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated under this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents for reimbursement of drawings under such Letters of
Credit and for all other Obligations in respect of such Letters of Credit.

        Section 2.10 Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by the Issuing Bank
of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of
this Agreement the making by UBOC of a Reference Rate Advance in the amount of
such payment (without any requirement of compliance with the conditions set
forth in Article 4 or with the limitations contained in Section 2.1(a), but
subject to Section 2.3). In the event that any such Advance by UBOC resulting
from a drawing under a Letter of Credit is not repaid by the Borrower by the
Agent's deduction of the amount of such Advance, for UBOC's account, from the
Borrower's

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

Account on the day of such drawing, the Agent will promptly so notify each other
Lender. Each such Lender will, on the day of such notification, make a Reference
Rate Advance, which shall be used to repay the applicable portion of UBOC's
Reference Rate Advance with respect to such Letter of Credit drawing, in an
amount equal to the amount of such Lender's participation in such drawing
(without any requirement of compliance with the conditions set forth in Article
4 or with the limitations contained in Section 2.1(a), but subject to Section
2.3), and will deliver to the Agent for UBOC's account, on the day of such
notification and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Reference
Rate Advance. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Agent
for the account of UBOC the amount of such Reference Rate Advance, UBOC shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate.

        Section 2.11 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under
this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Request and any other Letter of Credit
Document shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of the aforementioned documents under all
circumstances, including the following:

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

           (b) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that
the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of any
Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may
be acting), the Issuing Bank, any Lender (other than the defense of payment in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any unrelated transaction;

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

           (d) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit;

           (e) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral or other
collateral, or any release, amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from
any guaranty, for any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the
Letters of Credit; and

           (f) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing.

        Section 2.12 Limits of Liability of Agent and Lenders.

           (a) The Borrower agrees to the provisions in the Letter of Credit
Documents executed thereby; provided, however, that the terms of this Agreement
shall take precedence if

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of
any such Letter of Credit Document.

           (b) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of
such Letter of Credit. Neither the Issuing Bank nor any other Lender nor any of
their respective officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for (i)
the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereof, even if
such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank against presentation of
documents that do not comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit, including
failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to any
Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstance whatsoever in making or failing
to make payment under any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the Borrower
shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be
liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential,
damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (A) the
Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether
documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit or (B) the Issuing Bank's willful failure to make lawful
payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to the Issuing Bank by
the beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit of a draft and
certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank
may accept any document that appears on its face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary.

C. PAYMENT PROVISIONS

        Section 2.13 Payments.

           (a) The Borrower will make each payment hereunder and under the Notes
not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on the day when due, in U.S.
dollars and immediately available funds, to the Agent at its address set forth
in Section 9.2. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like
funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably (other than
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or (g) or Article 3) to the Lenders
and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender
to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

           (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent
that any payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or under any
other Credit Document, to charge from time to time against any or all of the
Borrower's accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

           (c) Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower before the
date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will
not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment in full to the Agent on such date, and the Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, cause to be

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then
due to such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower has not so made such
payment in full to the Agent, each Lender will repay to the Agent forthwith upon
demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount was distributed to such Lender until the
date on which such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate.

        Section 2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of
interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for
the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each
determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

        Section 2.15 Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment
hereunder or under any other Credit Document is stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal
of LIBOR Advances to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment
shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

        Section 2.16 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender obtains any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or
otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it or the Letters of Credit
participated in by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or (g) or Article
3) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances and
Letters of Credit obtained by all of the Lenders, then such Lender will
forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances
made by them and the Letters of Credit participated in by them as necessary to
cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of
them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other
Lender shall be rescinded, and each such other Lender shall repay to the
purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together
with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion
of (a) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (b) the total amount so
recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.
The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender pursuant to this section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

        Section 2.17 Evidence of Debt.

           (a) The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from all Advances made
by each Lender from time to time shall be evidenced by the Notes.

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

           (b) The books and accounts of the Agent shall be conclusive evidence,
absent manifest error, of all Letter of Credit Amounts and of the amounts of all
Advances, drawings under Letters of Credit, reimbursements under Letters of
Credit, fees, interest and other charges advanced, due, outstanding or paid
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

        Section 2.18 Extensions of Credit Outstanding under Old Credit
Agreement. On the Closing Date, any "Advances" or "Letters of Credit"
outstanding under the Old Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Advances and
Letters of Credit, respectively, outstanding under this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 3.
                                YIELD PROTECTION

        Section 3.1 Increased LIBOR Advance Costs. If, due to either (a) the
introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or
increase of reserve requirements, in the case of LIBOR Advances, included in the
LIBOR Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any Governmental Rule
or (b) compliance with any Governmental Rule (whether or not having the force of
law), there is an increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make,
making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Advance, then the Borrower will from
time to time, promptly upon such Lender's delivery to the Borrower (with a copy
to the Agent) of a certificate setting forth any such increased cost and a
reasonably detailed explanation thereof, pay to the Agent for the account of
such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased cost, but only to the extent incurred after the delivery of such
certificate or during a period of not more than 90 days before the delivery of
such certificate; provided, however, that each Lender will, before submitting
any such certificate, use reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of any such
increased cost to the extent that such efforts are consistent with applicable
Governmental Rules, are not materially disadvantageous to such Lender's business
or operations (in the reasonable judgment of such Lender) and would not cause
such Lender to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse
such Lender for such costs). Any certificate submitted to the Borrower and the
Agent by a Lender in accordance with this section shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

        Section 3.2 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of,
any Governmental Rule makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Person asserts that
it is unlawful, for any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder to make
LIBOR Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances hereunder,
then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Agent, (a) the obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Advances and
to Convert Advances into LIBOR Advances shall be suspended until the Agent
notifies the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist, and (b) the Borrower will forthwith
prepay in full all LIBOR Advances of such Lender then outstanding, together with
interest accrued thereon, unless the Borrower, within 5 Business Days of such
notice and demand, Converts all LIBOR Advances of all Lenders then outstanding
into Reference Rate Advances in accordance with Section 2.8.

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

        Section 3.3 Inadequacy of LIBOR. If, with respect to any LIBOR Advances,
the Required Lenders notify the Agent that LIBOR determined pursuant to Section
2.6(a)(ii) for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect
the cost to the Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their
respective LIBOR Advances for such Interest Period, then the Agent will
forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (a) such LIBOR
Advances shall automatically, on the last day of the then existing respective
Interest Periods therefor, Convert into Reference Rate Advances, and (b) the
obligations of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, LIBOR Advances
shall be suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that
the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

        Section 3.4 Increased Letter of Credit Costs. If, after the date hereof,
any change in any Governmental Rule or in the interpretation thereof by any
Governmental Person charged with the administration thereof either (a) imposes,
modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against letters of credit or guaranties issued by or participated in, or assets
held by, or deposits in or for the account of, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or
(b) imposes on the Issuing Bank or any Lender any other condition regarding this
Agreement, the Issuing Bank, such Lender or any Letter of Credit, and the result
of any event referred to in the preceding clause (a) or (b) is to increase the
cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to
any Lender of purchasing or maintaining any participation therein, then the
Borrower will from time to time, promptly upon the Issuing Bank's or such
Lender's delivery to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) of a certificate
setting forth any such increased cost and a reasonably detailed explanation
thereof, pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as
applicable, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such
Lender for such increased cost, but only to the extent incurred after the
delivery of such certificate or during a period of not more than 90 days before
the delivery of such certificate; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank and
each Lender will, before submitting any such certificate, use reasonable efforts
to mitigate the amount of any such increased cost to the extent that such
efforts are consistent with applicable Governmental Rules, are not materially
disadvantageous to the Issuing Bank's or such Lender's business or operations
(in the reasonable judgment of the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable)
and would not cause the Issuing Bank or such Lender to incur additional costs
(unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as
applicable, for such costs). Any certificate submitted to the Borrower and the
Agent by the Issuing Bank or a Lender in accordance with this section shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

        Section 3.5 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that compliance
with any Governmental Rule (whether or not having the force of law) affects or
would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such
capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender's commitment
to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type or the commitment to issue
or participate in, or the issuance of or participation in, the Letters of Credit
(or similar contingent obligations), then the Borrower will from time to time,
promptly upon such Lender's delivery to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent)
of a certificate setting forth any such increase in capital and a reasonably
detailed explanation thereof, pay to the Agent for

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such increase in capital, but only to the extent that (a) such
increase in capital is incurred after the delivery of such certificate or was
incurred during a period of not more than 90 days before the delivery of such
certificate and (b) such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital
to be allocable to the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder
or commitment to issue or participate in, or the issuance of or participation
in, Letters of Credit; provided, however, that each Lender will, before
submitting any such certificate, use reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount
of any such increase in capital to the extent that such efforts are consistent
with applicable Governmental Rules, are not materially disadvantageous to such
Lender's business or operations (in the reasonable judgment of such Lender) and
would not cause such Lender to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower
agrees to reimburse such Lender for such costs). Any certificate submitted to
the Borrower and the Agent by a Lender in accordance with this section shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

        Section 3.6 Funding Losses. If any payment of principal of, or any
Conversion of, any LIBOR Advance is made other than on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.3, a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3 or
acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations pursuant to Section 7.1 or for
any other reason, the Borrower will, upon demand by any Lender (with a copy of
such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any
amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or
expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion,
including any loss (other than loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

        Section 3.7 Replacement of Lender. If any Lender makes a demand for
payment under Section 3.1, 3.4 or 3.5, the Borrower may, within 120 days of such
demand if no Default then exists, (a) reduce the aggregate amount of the
Commitments by the full amount of such Lender's Commitment by simultaneously
repaying all outstanding Advances owed to such Lender, pledging cash collateral
to the Agent in the aggregate amount of such Lender's participations in
outstanding Letters of Credit and paying all accrued and unpaid interest, fees
and other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder through the date of such
reduction or (b) replace such Lender with another Person in accordance with the
terms of Section 9.8. Whether or not a Lender making a demand for payment under
Section 3.1, 3.4 or 3.5 has its Commitment eliminated or is replaced in
accordance with the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be obligated to make
any payments to such Lender that are required under Section 3.1, 3.4 or 3.5, as
applicable.

Subsidiary is a party to any indenture, loan agreement, credit agreement, lease
or other agreement or instrument, or subject to any charter or corporate
restriction, that could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse
effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
performance, properties or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole or on the ability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

                                   ARTICLE 7.

Debt thereof outstanding in a principal amount of at least $5,000,000 in the
aggregate (excluding the Obligations), or any interest or premium thereon, when
due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or
otherwise), and such failure continues after the applicable grace period, if
any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such Debt; any other
event occurs or condition exists under any agreement or instrument relating to
any such Debt and continues after the applicable grace period, if any, specified
in such agreement or instrument, if the effect of such event or condition is to
accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Debt; or any
such Debt is declared to be due and payable, or is required to be prepaid,
redeemed, purchased or defeased (other than by a regularly scheduled required
prepayment, redemption, purchase or defeasance), or an offer to prepay, redeem,

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other

any of the actions set forth above in this Section 7.1(e);

           (f) any single judgment or order for the payment of money in excess

rendered against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, and either (i) enforcement
proceedings are commenced by any creditor upon such judgment(s) or order(s) or
(ii) there is any period of 30 consecutive days during which a stay of
enforcement of such judgment(s) or order(s), by reason of a pending appeal or
otherwise, is not in effect, unless such judgment or order has been vacated,
satisfied, dismissed, or bonded pending appeal;

           (g) any provision of any Credit Document for any reason ceases to be
valid and binding on or enforceable against, in any material respect, any Credit
Party that is a party thereto, or such Credit Party so states in writing; or

           (h) for any reason except to the extent permitted by the terms of the
Security Agreement, there ceases to be a valid and perfected first-priority
security interest in favor of the Agent in any of the Collateral purported to be

then, and in any such event, the Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the
consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the
obligation of each Lender to make Advances, and the obligation of the Issuing
Bank to issue Letters of Credit, to be terminated, whereupon the same shall
forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of
the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Obligations, all
interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon (A) the
Obligations, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be
forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower,
and (B) to the extent any Letters of Credit are then outstanding, the Borrower
will deposit with and pledge to the Agent cash collateral in the aggregate
Letter of Credit Amount of such Letters of Credit; provided, however, that, in
the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary under the United States Bankruptcy Code, (x) the
obligation of each Lender to make Advances and of the Issuing Bank to issue
Letters of Credit shall be terminated automatically, and (y) the Advances, all
such interest and all such amounts (including such cash collateral) shall
automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand,

                                    THE AGENT

        Section 8.1 Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and
authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by the Credit Documents (including enforcement of and collection
under the Credit Documents), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or refrain from
acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting)
upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be
binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the
Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent to
personal liability or that is contrary to the Credit Documents or applicable
law.

        Section 8.2 Agent's Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Credit
Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (a) may treat
any Lender that has signed this Agreement or an Assignment and Acceptance as the
holder of the applicable portion of the Obligations; (b) may consult with legal
counsel (including legal counsel for any Credit Party), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of such legal counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or
representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the
Credit Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to
the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
any Credit Document on the part of any Credit Party or to inspect the property
(including the books and records) of any Credit Party; (e) shall not be
responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Credit Document or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no
liability under or in respect of any Credit Document by acting upon any notice,
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier
or otherwise) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper
party or parties.

        Section 8.3 UBOC and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the
Advances made by it, the Note issued to it and the Letters of Credit
participated in by it, UBOC shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
the Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated, include UBOC in its individual capacity (including in its capacity as
Issuing Bank). UBOC and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business
with, any Credit Party, any Subsidiary and any Person that may do business with
or own securities of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, all as if UBOC were not
the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

        Section 8.4 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender and
based on the financial statements referred to in Section 5.5 and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance on the Agent or
any other

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

Lender and based on such documents and information as it deems appropriate at
the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement.

        Section 8.5 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent
(to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to
the respective principal amounts of the Obligations then held by each of them
(or, if no Obligations are at the time outstanding or if any Obligations are
then held by Persons that are not Lenders, ratably according to the respective
amounts of their Commitments), from and against all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any of
the Credit Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under any of
the Credit Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any costs and expenses payable by the Borrower under Section 9.4, to
the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses
by the Borrower.

        Section 8.6 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any
time with or without cause with the written approval of the Required Lenders.
Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent has been so appointed by the
Required Lenders, and has accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders'
removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit
Documents. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was agent under this Agreement.

        Section 8.7 Agent as Collateral Holder.

           (a) Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder or
under any other Credit Document as holder of any Collateral, the Agent shall in
all cases be fully justified in refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless
it is further indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders, proportionately in
accordance with the Obligations then due and payable to each of them, against
all liability and expense that may be incurred by the Agent by reason of taking
or continuing to take any such action.

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

           (b) Except as expressly provided herein or in any other Credit
Document, the Agent shall have no duty to take any affirmative steps with
respect to the collection of amounts payable in respect of the Collateral. The
Agent shall incur no liability as a result of any private sale of the
Collateral.

           (c) The Lenders hereby consent, and agree upon written request by the
Agent to execute and deliver such instruments and other documents as the Agent
may deem desirable to confirm such consent, to the release of the Liens on the
Collateral, including any release in connection with any sale, transfer or other
disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof, in accordance with the Credit
Documents.

           (d) The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that the Agent accords
its own property, it being understood that neither the Agent nor any Lender
shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to
calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to
any Collateral, whether or not the Agent or any Lender is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights
against any parties with respect to any Collateral.

        Section 8.8 Lenders' Responsibilities.

           (a) Each Lender represents and warrants to the Agent as follows: (i)
such Lender is entitled to receive any payments under this Agreement without the
withholding of any tax; (ii) if such Lender is not organized under the laws of
the United States of America or a state thereof but is lawfully engaged in the
conduct of a trade or business in the United States of America, payments to such
Lender under this Agreement are, or are reasonably expected to be, effectively
connected with the conduct of such trade or business and are or will be
includable in such Lender's gross income; and (iii) if such Lender is not
engaged in a trade or business in the United States of America to which payments
to such Lender under this Agreement are, or are reasonably expected to be,
effectively connected, such Lender is entitled to the benefits of a tax
convention that exempts income earned by such Lender in respect of this
Agreement from United States withholding tax, and such Lender has satisfied all
requirements to qualify for such exemption. Each Lender will reimburse and
indemnify the Agent for, and hold the Agent harmless from and against, any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that
may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Agent due to its reliance
upon the representations of such Lender contained in this section. Unless the
Agent receives written notice to the contrary, each Lender shall be deemed to
have made the representations contained in this section for the current and each
subsequent tax year of such Lender.

           (b) Each Lender will promptly furnish to the Agent such forms,
certifications, statements and other documents as the Agent may reasonably
request from time to time to evidence such Lender's exemption from withholding
of any tax imposed by any jurisdiction in respect of payments hereunder or to
enable the Agent to comply with any applicable Governmental Rules relating
thereto. Each Lender agrees that it will, immediately upon request by the Agent,
furnish to the Agent such forms of the Internal Revenue Service, or such other
forms, certifications, statements and documents, duly executed and completed by
such Lender, as

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

required to evidence such Lender's exemption from the withholding of U.S. tax
with respect to payments hereunder. If any Lender determines that, as a result
of any change in any applicable Governmental Rule or in any application or
interpretation thereof by any Governmental Person charged with the
administration thereof, it ceases to qualify for exemption from any tax imposed
by any jurisdiction with respect to payments hereunder, such Lender will
promptly notify the Agent of such fact, and the Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, withhold the amount of any such applicable tax from amounts
payable to such Lender hereunder. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any
payment to any Lender hereunder, and the Agent may withhold the amount of any
applicable tax from amounts payable to such Lender hereunder, until such Lender
has furnished to the Agent each form, certification, statement and document
required to be delivered by such Lender to the Agent in accordance with this
section.

                                   ARTICLE 9.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        Section 9.1 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be

consent shall, unless in writing and signed or consented to (in writing) by the
Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the
rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall

other right. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of
any remedies provided by law.

        Section 9.4 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand (a)

        Section 9.5 Indemnification.

           (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Agent and each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, advisors and Affiliates (each an "Indemnified Person") from
and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not such
Indemnified Person is named as a party to any proceeding or is otherwise
subjected to judicial or legal process arising from any such proceeding) that
any of them may incur, or that may be claimed, asserted or awarded against any
of them by any Person, in each case arising out of, related to or in connection
with, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of any investigation,
litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with, any
Credit Document, any Advance, any Letter of Credit or the consummation of any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, the transfer of or payment or
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or the use by the Borrower or the
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any Advance or of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit, except to the extent that any such claim,
damage, loss, liability, cost or expense is found in a final, nonappealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

           (b) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person
from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages (including all
foreseeable and

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

unforeseeable consequential damages), losses, assessments, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be
incurred by or awarded against any Indemnified Person, in each case arising out
of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation
for a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of,
related to or in connection with (i) the actual or alleged presence of any
Hazardous Material in, on or under (A) any property owned or operated by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, (B) any property to which any Hazardous Material has
migrated from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary
or (C) any property at which the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof has disposed
of any Hazardous Material (whether or not legal at the time of such disposal) or
(ii) any Environmental Proceeding relating in any way to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof, in any case whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof, any of their
respective directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Person,
whether or not any Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

        Section 9.6 Right of Setoff. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the
granting of the consent specified by Section 7.1 to authorize the Agent to
declare the Obligations due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.1, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any or all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against any or all of the obligations of the Borrower
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents,
irrespective of whether such Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or
any such other Credit Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.
Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and
application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The
rights of each Lender under this section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

        Section 9.7 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns, except that (a) the Borrower shall not have
the right to assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders shall have the
right to assign their respective rights and obligations hereunder only in
accordance with Section 9.8.

        Section 9.8 Assignments and Participations.

           (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities
acceptable to the Agent, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and its participations in
outstanding Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment
shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (unless a Default
has occurred and is continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that,
immediately before such

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

assignment, was a Lender, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender
being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of
the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event
be less than the lesser of (A) the entire Commitment of such Lender at such time
and (B) $5,000,000 and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an
Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recording fee of
$3,500. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording (and subject to
such approval), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least 5 Business Days after the
date of delivery thereof to the Agent or, if so specified in such Assignment and
Acceptance, the date of acceptance thereof by the Agent, (i) the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii)
the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, except that such Lender shall
continue to be an "Indemnified Person" under Section 9.5).

           (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided
in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation
or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;
(ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Credit Party or
any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by any Credit Party of any of
its obligations under any Credit Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a
copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements
referred to in Section 5.5 and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it may deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such
action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit
Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that
it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by
the terms of the Credit Documents are required to be performed by it as a
Lender.

           (c) The Agent shall maintain at its address set forth in Section 9.2
a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitment of, and the principal

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

amount of Obligations owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "Register").
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

           (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and
Acceptance has been completed and is in proper form and if such assignee is
acceptable to the Agent, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, (i)
accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

           (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to
it and its participations in outstanding Letters of Credit); provided, however,
that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including its
Commitment) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(iii) the Borrower, the Agent 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 and (iv) no participant under any such
participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any
provision of any Credit Document, or any consent to any departure by any Credit
Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent
would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances, the amount to be
reimbursed in respect of any drawing under a Letter of Credit or any fees or
other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Advances, the amount to be reimbursed in respect of any drawing
under a Letter of Credit or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or
substantially all of the Collateral, except as provided in the Credit Documents.

           (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assigned or participation pursuant to this Section
9.8, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant
any information relating to the Borrower that was furnished to such Lender by or
on behalf of the Borrower.

        Section 9.9 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE

counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

        Section 9.12 Reference to and Effect on Credit Documents.

           (a) This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Old Credit
Agreement. On and after the effective date of this Agreement, each reference in
those Credit Documents in effect before the Closing Date and continuing in
effect after the Closing Date to "the Credit Agreement," "thereunder,"
"thereof," "therein" or any other expression of like import referring to the Old
Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement.

           (b) The Credit Documents in effect before the Closing Date (except to
the extent amended and restated or otherwise replaced pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement) shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified
and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security
Agreement and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to
secure the payment of all obligations of the Borrower under the Credit
Documents, either in their original form or as amended and restated or otherwise
replaced pursuant to the terms hereof.

           (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall
not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender
under any of the Credit Documents or constitute a waiver of any provision of any
of the Credit Documents.
