<PAGE>

transferees, as provided herein. Each term not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Purchase Agreement or the

                  In consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.       Purchase Agreement Amendments. Subject to the conditions set
                  -----------------------------
forth herein, the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

                  1.1    Section 1(f) of the Purchase Agreement (including all
         prior amendments to this section) is hereby replaced with the
         following:

                  "(f)   Second Closing. (A) Provided that the Initial Closing
                         --------------
         shall have occurred, upon the completion of enrollment of clinical
         trial OP201 for compound being developed by Newco or the Company, EIS
         shall, subject to obtaining any required approvals under the Mergers
         Acts, HSR Act, and any similar law and regulation, purchase shares of
         Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate amount of either US$500,000
         or US$1,000,000, which amount shall be at the sole discretion of EIS
         (the "Second Purchase Price"), at a price per share equal to ten times
               ---------------------
         the greater of (1) 25% premium over the Average Daily Price for the 60
         trading day period immediately prior to the Later Date and (2) the
         Average Daily Price for the last trading day prior to the Later Date
         (the greater being the "Later Stock Price"). The term "Average Daily
                                 -----------------
         Price" shall mean the amount equal to the average of the highest and
         lowest trade price for Incara Common Stock on a given trading day. In
         addition, EIS shall purchase from the Company warrants to acquire
         shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to 20% of the shares of Series
         B Preferred Stock purchased at the Second Closing, in the form attached
         hereto as Exhibit G (the "Later Incara Warrants"). Notwithstanding the
         above, in no event during the life of this Agreement shall the number
         of shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased or underlying warrants
         issued in the Second Closing (it being understood that the warrants to
         be issued in the Second Closing shall be exercisable for a number of
         shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to 20% of the number of shares
         of Series B Preferred Stock purchased in the Second Closing) exceed
         150,000 shares (as such number may be adjusted for stock splits,
         combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications and dividends
         effected subsequent to December 21, 2000, the "Second Closing Maximum
                                                        ----------------------
         Shares"), which represents less than 20% of the Incara Common Stock
         ------
         issued and outstanding on December 21, 2000 (on an as converted basis).
         If this limitation on the amount of Series B Preferred Stock is
         triggered, the Second Purchase Price shall not be US$500,000 or
         US$1,000,000, as selected by EIS, but instead shall be equal to the
         Later Stock Price multiplied by the quotient of (i) the Second Closing
         Maximum Shares divided by (ii) 1.2, and the purchase of Series B
         Preferred Stock by EIS at the Second Closing shall be in the sole
         discretion of EIS. At the Second Closing (i) EIS shall pay the Second
         Purchase Price by wire transfer of the Second Purchase Price to an
         account designated in writing by the Company, (ii) the Company shall
         cause to be delivered to EIS (A) certificates representing the shares
         of Series B Preferred Stock issued to EIS, (B) the Later Incara
         Warrants, (C) a customary secretary's certificate from

                                        2

<PAGE>

         the secretary of the Company, including certification as to the
         incumbency of the officers of the Company executing any documents, (D)
         an officer's certificate certifying and confirming that the conditions
         described in Section 1(f)(B)(i)-(iii) below have been satisfied, (E) an
         opinion of counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory to EIS, and
         (iii) either EIS or the Company shall deliver any other documents or
         instruments reasonably requested by a party hereto."

                  1.2   Section 5(b) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended
         by replacing the last sentence of Section 5(b) with the following:

                  "At all times that EIS or any of its Affiliates does not have
                  its own designee sitting on the Company's Board of Directors,
                  the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that EIS or
                  such Affiliate of EIS (or their respective permitted
                  transferee or assignee) shall be entitled to appoint an
                  observer to attend each meeting of the Company's Board of
                  Directors (the "Board"), to receive notices of each meeting of
                  the Board (or action to be taken by written consent of the
                  Board) and to receive copies of all materials provided to all
                  members of the Board as a group. Such observer shall be
                  subject to the same confidentiality provisions as apply to any
                  director of EIS pursuant to Clause 21 of the Subscription,
                  Joint Development and Operating Agreement among Elan
                  Corporation, PLC, Elan Pharma International, Ltd., EIS and the
                  Company."

                  1.3   Section 16 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended
         by replacing the last sentence thereof with the following:

                  "Other than as set forth above, no party shall assign or
                  transfer all or any part of this Agreement, the Securities and
                  the Underlying Shares, or any interest therein, without the
                  prior written consent of the other party; provided that,
                  consent of the Company shall not be required in connection
                  with the sale, transfer or other disposition of any Securities
                  or the Underlying Shares in the event that such Securities or
                  the Underlying Shares are the subject of a registration
                  statement filed with the SEC or are eligible to be sold under
                  Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as such rule
                  may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or
                  regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC."

         2.       Registration Rights Agreement Amendments. Subject to the
                  ----------------------------------------
conditions set forth herein, the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended
as follows:

                  2.1   Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement is
         hereby amended by deleting the fifth sentence of Section 2(a) (which
         stated "The Holders shall in the aggregate be permitted a total of one
         Demand Registration hereunder"), and replacing it in its entirety with
         the following sentence:

      AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of January 28, 2002, among
(i) BALDWIN AMERICAS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, (ii) BALDWIN EUROPE
CONSOLIDATED INC., a Delaware corporation, (iii) BALDWIN ASIA PACIFIC
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, (iv) the other Credit Parties signatory
hereto, (v) each of the financial institutions which is now, or hereafter
becomes, a signatory hereto (individually a "Lender" and collectively, the
"Lenders"), (vi) FLEET NATIONAL BANK, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders
hereunder (in such capacity, as more fully defined in Section 1.1, the
"Administrative Agent"), and (vii) FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK, as Documentation
Agent.

                                   Background

      At the request of the Borrowers, pursuant to this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent has arranged for the Lenders to make available a revolving
credit facility and a term loan to the Borrowers to (i) refinance Existing
Indebtedness, (ii) fund ongoing working capital needs, and (iii) fund general
corporate purposes.

                            Amendment and Restatement

      Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby agree that upon the
effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit
Agreement shall be and hereby are amended and restated in their entirety by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of the
Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement.

      Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit
Agreement by this Agreement, Borrowers shall continue to be liable to Lenders
with respect to agreements and obligations on the part of Borrowers under the
Existing Credit Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent
and Lenders from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses,
costs, charges and expenses to which Administrative Agent and Lenders may be
subject arising in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement.

      Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit
Agreement by this Agreement, all of the indebtedness, liabilities and
obligations owing by Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement shall
continue to be secured by the "Collateral" (as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement) and Borrowers acknowledge and agree that such "Collateral" remains
subject to a security interest in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit
of Lenders and to secure the obligations of Borrowers re-evidenced by this
Agreement.

      This Agreement is given as a substitution, and not as payment, of the
obligations of Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement and is not intended
to constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement. All "Revolving Credit
Loans" (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), which are outstanding and
owing by Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date,
as determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the
Existing Credit Agreement, shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans hereunder.

the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

      the letter of credit is (i) a Lender, (ii) a New York Clearinghouse bank,
      (iii) a commercial bank (or domestic branch of a foreign bank) that has
      (or which is the principal operating subsidiary of a holding company which

      "A-") from a nationally recognized debt rating agency or capital and
      surplus in excess of $500,000,000, or (iv) any other bank which the
      Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion determine to be of
      acceptable credit quality; and (d) with respect to which the
      Administrative Agent has, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a first
      priority security interest perfected by "control" (as such term is
      explained in Section 9-107 of the Uniform Commercial Code).

            "Account Debtor": any Person who is or becomes obligated to a
      Borrowing Base Entity under, with respect to or on account of an Account.

            "Acquisition": any transaction pursuant to which any of the
      Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries (a) acquires equity securities (or
      warrants, options or other rights to acquire such securities) of any
      Person other than any of the Borrowers or any Person which is not then a
      Subsidiary of any of the Borrowers, pursuant to a solicitation of tenders
      therefor, or in one or more negotiated block, market or other transactions
      not involving a tender offer, or a combination of any of the foregoing, or
      (b) makes any Person a Subsidiary of any of the Borrowers, or causes any
      such Person to be merged into any of the Borrowers or any of its
      Subsidiaries, in any case pursuant to a merger, purchase of assets or any
      reorganization providing for the delivery or issuance to the holders of
      such Person's then outstanding securities, in exchange for such
      securities, of cash or securities of any of the Borrowers or any of its
      Subsidiaries, or a combination thereof, or (c) purchases all or
      substantially all of the business or assets of any Person.

            "Accumulated Other Amount": the amount set forth in the line item in

      Comprehensive Loss" of such Report equal to $(6,334,000).

            "Administrative Agent": Fleet National Bank, together with its
      affiliates, as the Administrative Agent for the Lenders under this
      Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and its successors and assigns.

            "Administrative Agent's Alternative Currency Account(s)": the
      Alternative Currency account(s) of the Administrative Agent maintained by

      location(s) specified in writing from time to time by the Administrative
      Agent to the Borrowers and the Lenders.

            "Administrative Agent's Dollar Account": the Dollar account of the
      Administrative Agent maintained by the Administrative Agent at the
      Principal Office.

            "Affiliate": as to any Person, any other Person (other than a
      Subsidiary), which directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled
      by, or is under common control with, such Person. For purposes of this
      definition, "control" of a Person means the power, directly or indirectly,
      either to (a) vote 20% or more of the securities having ordinary voting
      power for the election of directors of such Person or (b) direct or cause

            "Alternate Base Rate": for any day, a rate per annum (rounded
      upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greater of (a)
      the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Federal Funds Effective
      Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%. For purposes hereof: "Prime
      Rate" shall mean variable per annum rate of interest so designated from
      time to time by the Administrative Agent as its prime rate (the Prime Rate
      is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best
      rate being charged to any customer); and "Federal Funds Effective Rate"
      shall mean, for any day, the weighted average of the rates on overnight
      federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System
      arranged by federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding
      Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is
      not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the
      quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Administrative
      Agent from three federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by
      it. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime
      Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective as of the
      opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate
      or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively.

            "Alternative Currency": the currency specified in Schedule 1-A, and
      any other currency as to which all Lenders and the Borrowers from time to
      time may agree, in each case that is freely transferable and available to

SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

      2.1   Revolving Credit Commitments; Term Loan Commitment.

            (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender
severally agrees to make revolving credit loans ("Revolving Credit Loans") to
the Borrowers from time to time during the Commitment Period, each such Loan to
be in Dollars or an Equivalent Dollar Amount of the Alternative Currency, in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the amount
of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment less the sum of (i) the product of
(w) such Lender's Commitment Percentage and (x) the sum of the Letter of Credit
Obligations then outstanding and (ii) the amount of such Lender's outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans, but in no event shall the aggregate Equivalent Dollar
Amount of the Alternative Currencies exceed $5,000,000 (the "Alternative
Currency Sublimit"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) any
Revolving Credit Loans be made if the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Loans to be made (including, without limitation, the Equivalent Dollar Amount of
the Alternative Currencies, based on the respective exchange rates used at the
time of such Loans) would, after giving effect to the use of proceeds thereof,
exceed the aggregate Available Commitments and (ii) the sum of (w) Revolving
Credit Loans and (x) Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the lesser of (y) the
aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and (z) the Borrowing Base. During the
Commitment Period, the Borrowers may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by
borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The
obligations of each Lender shall be several and not joint.

            (b) The Revolving Credit Loans or the Term Loans may, from time to
time, be (i) Base Rate Loans, (ii) LIBOR Rate Loans, or (iii) a combination
thereof, as determined by the Borrowers and notified to the Administrative Agent
in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.8 provided that no Revolving Credit Loan
or Term Loan shall be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan after the day that is one month
prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

            (c) Borrowings hereunder may be reduced by Reserves.

            (d) Simultaneously herewith, Lenders are, with the agreement of
Borrowers, converting $4,000,000 of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans into term
loans (the "Term Loans"). The Term Loans shall be evidenced by, in addition to
this Agreement, the Term Loan Notes and shall be payable in accordance with the
terms hereof but in any event shall be payable on or before the Term Loan
Maturity Date.

      2.2   Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing; Type of Loan.

            (a) Each Loan shall be, at the option of the Borrowers specified in
the Borrowing Notice furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection (b) hereof, either a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, which shall
in each case be made or maintained by each Lender at its Principal Office.

            (b) (i) Notice of Dollar Borrowings. A Responsible Officer shall
give the Administrative Agent (A) at least three (3) Business Days' irrevocable
telephonic notice of each Loan based on Dollars that will be a LIBOR Rate Loan
prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time; or (B) irrevocable telephonic notice of
each Loan based on Dollars that will be a Base Rate Loan prior to 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the day of such proposed Base Rate Loan (each such notice
referred to in clauses (A) and (B) being referred to as a "Notice of Dollar
Borrowing"). Each such Notice of Dollar Borrowing, which shall be effective upon
receipt by the Administrative Agent, shall specify the amount of the borrowing,
the Type of Loan, the date of borrowing and, if a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Interest
Period to be used in the computation of interest. A Responsible Officer shall
provide the Administrative Agent written confirmation of each such telephonic
notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 and incorporated herein by
reference with appropriate insertions, but failure to provide such confirmation
shall not affect the validity of such telephonic notice. Notice of receipt of
such Notice of Dollar Borrowing shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to
each Lender by telephone with reasonable promptness, but not later than 1:00
p.m., New York City time, on the same day as Administrative Agent's receipt of
such telephonic notice. The Administrative Agent shall provide each Lender
written confirmation of such telephonic confirmation, but failure to provide
such notice shall not affect the validity of such telephonic notice.

                  (ii) Funding of Dollar Borrowing. Not later than 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the date specified for each borrowing under this
subsection (b), each Lender, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions
of this Agreement, shall make the amount of the Loan based on Dollars to be made
by it on such day available to the Administrative Agent, by depositing or
transferring the proceeds thereof in Dollars and in immediately available funds
at the Administrative Agent's Dollar Account. The amount so received by the
Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, be made available to the Borrowers by depositing the proceeds thereof
made available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately
available funds in the Borrowers' Dollar Account.

            (c) (i) Notice of Alternative Currency Borrowing. A Responsible
Officer shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days'
irrevocable telephonic notice of each Loan based on an Alternative Currency
prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time (each such notice being referred to as a
"Notice of Alternative Currency Borrowing"). Each such Notice of Alternative
Currency Borrowing, which shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent, shall specify the amount of the borrowing, the Alternative Currency of
the borrowing, that such Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of borrowing and
the Interest Period to be used in the computation of interest. A Responsible
Officer shall provide the Administrative Agent written confirmation of each such
telephonic notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 and incorporated
herein by reference with appropriate insertions, but failure to provide such
confirmation shall not affect the validity of such telephonic notice. Notice of

                                      -22-
<PAGE>
receipt of such Notice of Alternative Currency Borrowing shall be provided by
the Administrative Agent to each Lender by telephone with reasonable promptness,
but not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the same day as
Administrative Agent's receipt of such telephonic notice. The Administrative
Agent shall provide each Lender written confirmation of such telephonic
confirmation, but failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity
of such telephonic notice.

                  (ii) Funding of Alternative Currency Borrowing. Not later than
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date specified for each borrowing under
this subsection (c), each Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, make the amount of the Loan based on an
Alternative Currency of Loans based on such Alternative Currency to be made by
it on such day available to the Administrative Agent, by depositing or
transferring the proceeds thereof in the Applicable Currency and in immediately
available funds at the Administrative Agent's Alternative Currency Account for
the Applicable Currency. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent
shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available
to the Borrowers by depositing the proceeds thereof made available to the
Administrative Agent in the Applicable Currency and in immediately available
funds in the Borrowers' Alternative Currency Account for the Applicable
Currency.

            (d) Subject to the Alternative Currency Sublimit, each borrowing
under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (i)
$250,000 (or, in the case of an Alternative Currency, the Equivalent Dollar
Amount of $250,000) or a whole multiple of $250,000 (or, in the case of an
Alternative Currency, the Equivalent Dollar Amount of $250,000) in excess
thereof, or (ii) the remaining balance of the then Available Commitments (after
giving effect to the Borrowing Base), if less.

            (e) Reliance on Notices; Appointment of Borrower Representative. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon, any Borrowing Notice or similar notice believed by
the Administrative Agent to be genuine. The Administrative Agent may assume that
each Person executing and delivering such a notice was duly authorized, unless
the responsible individual acting thereon for Administrative Agent has actual
knowledge to the contrary. Each Borrower hereby designates the Borrower
Representative as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of
issuing Borrowing Notices, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement
of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting
Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder
or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including
in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers
under the Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such
appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or
other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the Borrower
Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any
notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or
Borrowers hereunder to the Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or
Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and
warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower
Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such
Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the
same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

      2.3   Fees.

            (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the pro rata account of each Lender the Unused Commitment Fee on the
average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender for the period
from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the Revolving
Credit Termination Date. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January,
commencing April 1, 2002, and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or such
earlier date as the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate as provided
herein.

            (b) Letter of Credit Fees. (i) The Borrowers agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent, pro rata for the account of each Lender the Letter of
Credit Fee, computed on the average undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, payable
in arrears (A) for the preceding fiscal quarter on the first day of each fiscal
quarter subsequent to the Closing Date, and (B) on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased by two hundred
basis points (2%) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

                  (ii) Fronting Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the Fronting Fee
simultaneously with the issuance of each Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender.

                  (iii) Administrative Charge. The Borrowers agree to pay to the
Issuing Lender upon each issuance of, payment under, and/or amendment of, any
Letter of Credit such reasonable amount as shall at the time of issuance,
payment or amendment be the administrative charge which the Issuing Lender is
customarily charging for issuances of, payments under or amendments of, letters
of credit issued by it.

            (c) Payment of Fees and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay on demand
all reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in
connection with the preparation, administration, default, collection, waiver or
amendment of loan terms, or in connection with the Administrative Agent's and
the Lenders' exercise, preservation or enforcement of any of their rights,
remedies or options hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees of
outside legal counsel or the allocated costs of in-house legal counsel,
accounting, consulting, brokerage or other similar professional fees or
expenses, and any fees or expenses associated with travel or other costs
relating to any appraisals or examinations conducted in connection with the
Loans or any Collateral therefor, and the amount of all such expenses shall,
until paid, bear interest at the rate applicable to principal hereunder
(including any default rate) and be an obligation secured by any Collateral.

      2.4   Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.

            (a) The Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than five
Business Days notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving
Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitments, provided however, that at any time, the aggregate amount of
the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be reduced below the sum of (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of (x) Revolving Credit

                                      -24-
<PAGE>
Loans and (y) Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) $5,000,000. Any such
reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$250,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect. No such reduction shall result in the payment of any
LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period of such Loan
(except if the Borrowers make the payments required under Section 2.17).

            (b) Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments provided for
in this Section 2.4 shall be accompanied by prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans
to the extent, if any, that the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the
amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced, pro rata
among the Lenders.

            (c) No reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments
may be reinstated.

      2.5   Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

            (a) (i) Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally jointly and
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan or Term
Loan of such Lender on the Termination Date applicable to such Loan. Each of the
Borrowers hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount
of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in
full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section
2.10. Each such payment and all other payments shall be made in immediately
available Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, without
counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or
withholding for, any taxes or other payments. Each such payment and all other
payments shall be made on or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
designated date thereof.

                  (ii) All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all
fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Administrative Agent and each Lender
(excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest of first, the Term
Loans and, then, the Revolving Credit Loans, and the balance on account of
outstanding principal of first, the Term Loans and, then, the Revolving Credit
Loans; provided, however, that after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, payments will be applied to the Obligations of each
Borrower to each Lender as each Lender determines in its sole discretion.

                  (iii) If the entire amount of any required principal and/or
interest is not paid in full within ten (10) days after the same is due,
Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders
on a pro rata basis, a late fee equal to five percent (5%) of the required
payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of a late fee shall not
preclude the Lenders from exercising their rights as a result of the Event of
Default caused by such late payment, or charging interest at the default rate of
interest pursuant to Section 2.10(b) hereof.

            (b) Each payment of principal (including any prepayment) of any Loan
shall be made in an amount of $750,000 (or in the case of Loan denominated in an
Alternative

                                      -25-
<PAGE>
Currency, the Equivalent Alternative Currency Amount of $750,000) or such
greater amount which is an integral multiple of $250,000 (or in the case of Loan
denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Equivalent Alternative Currency
Amount of $250,000) in excess thereof or in an amount equal to the entire
outstanding principal balance of such Loan to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of each Lender's applicable Lending Office, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date
such payment is due. Each payment of principal on any Loan (including any
prepayment) shall be made in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent's Dollar Account (or, with respect to Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies, in the Applicable Currency at the Administrative Agent's
Alternative Current Account for the Applicable Currency). Payments received by
the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such
time to any ordinary deposit account of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party
with the Administrative Agent. Any Borrower shall endeavor to give the
Administrative Agent prior telephonic notice of any payment of principal, such
notice to be given by not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date
of such payment.

            (c) The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf
of the Borrowers hereunder that is not made both (i) in Dollars (or, in the case
of Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, in the Applicable Currency) and
in immediately available funds and (ii) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time
(other than if such payment is made by a debit by the Administrative Agent to an
account of any Borrower therewith), to be a non-conforming payment. Any such
payment shall not be deemed to be received by the Administrative Agent until the
time such funds become available funds, provided that in the case of a
nonconforming payment described in clause (ii) above such payment shall be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent
shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrowers and each of the Lenders
(confirmed in writing) if any payment is nonconforming.

            (d) In the event that any payment hereunder or under the Notes
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then, subject to the
restrictions set forth in clause (b)(i) of the definition of "Interest Period,"
such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day; provided
that interest shall continue to accrue during the period of any such extension.

            (e) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each of the Borrowers 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.

            (f) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to
Section 9.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which Register
and/or subaccounts shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Revolving Credit
Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii)
both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from
any Borrower and each Lender's share thereof.

                                      -26-
<PAGE>
            (g) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender
maintained pursuant to subsection (e) above shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded, absent manifest error, 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 Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the
Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

            (h) The Borrowers acknowledge that (i) the Borrowers have executed
and delivered to each Lender one or more promissory notes of the Borrowers
evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans, as the case may be, of
such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 ("Revolving Credit Notes")
and Exhibit A-2 ("Term Loan Notes") with appropriate insertions as to date and
principal amount (collectively, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the "Notes").

      2.6   Optional Prepayments.

            Any Borrower may, on the last day of any Interest Period, prepay its
respective Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least
three Business Days' irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent specifying
the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Base Rate
Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, and the amount allocable to
each. Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans is subject to payment of breakage costs, if
any. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender thereof. 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 2.17. Repayments of Revolving
Credit Loans under this Section 2.6 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$250,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

      2.7   Mandatory Prepayments.

            (a) If, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Parent, any of the
Borrowers or any of the Credit Parties shall receive Net Proceeds from any
issuance of Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), 100% of such Net
Proceeds shall be simultaneously paid to the Administrative Agent for the pro
rata accounts of the Lenders.

            (b) If, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Parent, any of the
Borrowers or any of the Credit Parties shall receive Net Proceeds from any Asset
Sale (other than in the ordinary course of business), 100% of such Net Proceeds
shall be simultaneously paid to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata
accounts of the Lenders.

            (c) The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly notify each Lender) at least one Business Day's notice of each
mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7 setting forth the date and
amount thereof. With respect to each prepayment of Loans required by this
Section 2.7, the Borrowers may designate the Types of Loans which are to be
prepaid and the specific borrowing(s) pursuant to which such Loans were made;
provided that: (i) the Borrowers shall first so designate all Base Rate Loans
and LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, with Interest Periods ending on the date of
repayment prior to designating any other LIBOR

                                      -27-
<PAGE>
Rate Loans; (ii) if any prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans made pursuant to a single
borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such borrowing to
an amount less than the minimum borrowing amount set forth in Section 2.2(d),
such borrowing shall be immediately converted into Base Rate Loans; and (iii)
each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a borrowing shall be applied pro
rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrowers as
described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to
the above, make such designations in its sole discretion with a view, but no
obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.17. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, if at any time the mandatory
prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7 would result, after giving
effect to the second sentence of this subsection (c), in the Borrowers incurring
breakage costs under Section 2.17 as a result of LIBOR Rate Loans being repaid
other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (the
"Affected LIBOR Rate Loans"), then the Borrowers may, if they so elect by notice
to the Administrative Agent, deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that
otherwise would have been paid in respect of the Affected LIBOR Rate Loans with
the Administrative Agent to be held pursuant to an escrow agreement to be
entered into in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
with such escrowed amounts to be released from such escrow (and applied to repay
the principal amount of such Loans) upon each occurrence thereafter of the last
day of an Interest Period applicable to the relevant LIBOR Rate Loans (or such
earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrowers), with the amount
to be so released and applied on the last day of each Interest Period to be the
amount of the Loans to which such Interest Period applies (or, if less, the
amount remaining in such escrow account).

            (d) If on any date the sum of (i) Revolving Credit Loans outstanding
on such date and (ii) Letter of Credit Obligations on such date exceeds the
lesser of (x) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments as then in effect
(including, without limitation, as a result of the determination of Dollar
Equivalents pursuant to Section 2.11(c) hereof) and (y) the Borrowing Base, the
Borrowers agree to repay on such date the principal of the Revolving Credit
Loans in an amount equal to such excess.

      2.8   Conversion and Continuation Options.

            (a) Any Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Rate
Loans 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 LIBOR Rate Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest
Period with respect thereto. Borrowers may elect to convert Base Rate Loans to
LIBOR Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business
Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion
to LIBOR Rate Loans shall specify the length of the Interest Periods therefor.
Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans and Base
Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that no Loan may be
converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Lenders have determined that
such a conversion is not appropriate.

            (b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by any Borrower giving
notice to the

                                      -28-
<PAGE>
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term
"Interest Period" set forth in Section 2.2, which shall specify the length of
the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no LIBOR
Rate Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have
determined that such a continuation is not appropriate or (ii) after the date
that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and provided,
further, that if any Borrower shall fail to give such notice or if such
continuation is not permitted, such Loans shall be automatically converted to
(i) if such LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated in Dollars, a Base Rate Loan on the
last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan, or (ii) if such LIBOR
Rate Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, a subsequent Interest
Period of one month for such LIBOR Rate Loan. All such continuations and
conversions of Loans shall be effected pro rata based on the applicable
Commitment Percentage of the Lenders.

      2.9   Maximum Number of Loans.

            In no event shall there be more than five (5) LIBOR Rate Loans or
five (5) Base Rate Loans outstanding at any time.

      2.10  Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

            (a) Each Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest
Period with respect thereto, at Borrowers' option, at a rate per annum equal to,
with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin,
and, with respect to Base Rate Loans, the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin.

            (b) If all or a portion of (i) any principal of any Loan, (ii) any
interest payable thereon, (iii) any commitment fee or (iv) any other amount
payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), the principal of the Loans and any such overdue
interest, commitment fee or other amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum
which is (x) in the case of principal, the rate that would otherwise be
applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10
above plus four percent (4%) or (y) in the case of any such overdue interest,
commitment fee or other amount, the rate described in this Section 2.10 plus
four percent (4%) in each case from the date of such non-payment until such
overdue principal, interest, commitment fee or other amount is paid in full (as
well after as before judgment).

            (c) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to subsection (b) above shall be
payable from time to time on demand.

            (d) Interest on any Loan shall be paid in Dollars in immediately
available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Dollar
Account or, with respect to Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, in the
Applicable Currency in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent's
Alternative Currency Account for the Applicable Currency.

            (e) All agreements between each Borrower and each Lender are hereby
expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount
paid or agreed

                                      -29-
<PAGE>
to be paid to each Lender for the use or the forbearance of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. As used
herein, the term "applicable law" shall mean the law in effect as of the date
hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which
results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Credit Agreement
shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. In this regard, it
is expressly agreed that it is the intent of each Borrower and each Lender in
the execution and delivery and acceptance of this Credit Agreement to contract
in strict compliance with the laws of the State of New York from time to time in
effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any
provision hereof or of any of the Credit Agreement documents at the time of
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit
of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be
fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if
under or from circumstances whatsoever any Lender should ever receive as
interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which
would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal
balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision
shall control every other provision of all agreements between each Borrower and
each Lender.

      2.11  Computation of Interest and Fees.

            (a) All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a
three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify each Borrower and the
Lenders of each determination of the LIBOR Rate. Any change in the interest rate
on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate
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 Borrowers and the 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 Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error,
provided that such determination is made in good faith. The Administrative Agent
shall, upon request, notify the Borrowers of the LIBOR Rate used by the
Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section
2.10(a).

            (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the Dollar Equivalent of each
Revolving Credit Loan that is based on an Alternative Currency shall be
calculated on the date when any such Loan is made, provided that interest
payable with respect to any Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be
computed on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as the case may be, on the first
Business Day of each month and at such other times as designated by the
Administrative Agent at any time when a Default or an Event of Default exists.
Such Dollar Equivalent shall remain in effect until the same is recalculated by
the Administrative Agent as provided above and notice of such recalculation is
received by the Borrowers, it being understood that until notice is received,
the Dollar Equivalent shall be that Dollar Equivalent as last reported to the
Borrowers by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of each such determination of the Dollar
Equivalent.

    2.12 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

         (a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) or (iv) below, the
Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any
Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error,
be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto, provided that such
determination has been made in good faith):

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

              (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or
reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any
LIBOR Rate Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount
received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate
of taxes or similar charges) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in
any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request
(whether or not having the force of law), or in the interpretation or
administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (such as, for
example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but, in
all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent
included in the computation of the respective LIBOR Rate) and/or (y) other
circumstances materially affecting the interbank Eurodollar market generally;

              (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR
Rate Loan has become unlawful due to the compliance by such Lender in good faith
with any change since the Closing Date in any law, governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order, or the interpretation or application thereof, or
would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such
Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a
contingency occurring after the Closing Date which materially adversely affects
the interbank Eurodollar market; or

              (iv) at any time that any Alternative Currency is not available in
sufficient amounts, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, to
fund any borrowing of Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the
case of clause (i) or (iv) above) shall (x) on such date and (y) within 10
Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by
telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and, except in the case of
clauses (i) and (iv) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination
(which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the
other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Rate
Loans, priced in respect of the affected LIBOR Rate, shall no longer be
available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and
the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the
Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Borrowing Notice given by the
Borrowers with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans which have not yet been incurred
shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrowers or, in the case of a Borrowing
Notice, shall, at the option of

                                      -31-
<PAGE>
the Borrowers, be deemed converted into a Borrowing Notice for Base Rate Loans
to be made on the date of borrowing contained in such Borrowing Notice, (x) in
the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, within 10
days of its receipt of written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the
form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or
otherwise as such Lender shall determine) as shall be required to compensate
such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable
hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender,
showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis shall be reasonable
and consistently applied, submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender shall,
absent manifest error and provided that such calculation has been made in good
faith, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), (y) in the
case of clause (iii) above, the Borrowers shall take one of the actions
specified in subsection (b) below as promptly as possible and, in any event,
within the time period required by applicable law, and (z) in the case of clause
(iv) above, Loans in the affected Alternative Currency shall no longer be
available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and
the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the
Administrative Agent no longer exist in accordance with clause (y) of the
preceding sentence, and any Borrowing Notice given by Borrowers with respect to
such Alternative Currency Loans which have not yet been incurred shall be deemed
rescinded by the Borrowers.

         (b) At any time that any LIBOR Rate Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in subsection (a)(ii) or (iii) above, the Borrowers may
(and in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan affected pursuant to subsection (a)(iii)
above, the Borrowers shall) either (i) if the affected LIBOR Rate Loan is then
being made pursuant to a borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent
telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that
the Borrowers were notified in writing by a Lender pursuant to subsection
(a)(ii) or (iii) above, cancel said borrowing, convert the related Borrowing
Notice into one requesting a borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the
affected Lender to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or (ii) if the
affected LIBOR Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days'
notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan
denominated in Dollars, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR
Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and (B) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan
denominated in an Alternative Currency, repay all such LIBOR Rate Loans in full,
provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected
Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this subsection (b).

         (c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date the
adoption or effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case
made subsequent to the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender's or its parent corporation's capital or
assets as a consequence of such Lender's commitments or obligations hereunder to
a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's or its parent corporation's policies with respect to

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
capital adequacy), then from time to time, the Borrowers shall within 10 days of
their receipt of written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each
Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be
payable pursuant to this subsection (c), will give prompt written notice thereof
to the Borrowers, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of
the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable and
consistently applied, although the failure to give any such notice shall not
release or diminish any of the Borrowers' obligations to pay additional amounts
pursuant to this subsection (c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

    2.13 Compensation.

         The Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, within three Business Days
after such Lender's written request (which request shall set forth the basis for
requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Rate Loans but excluding any loss of
anticipated profit with respect to such Loans) which such Lender may sustain:
(i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative
Agent) a borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified
therefor in a Borrowing Notice (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrowers or
deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.12(a) above); (ii) if any repayment,
prepayment or conversion of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans occurs on a date which
is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any
prepayment of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a
notice of prepayment given by the Borrowers; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any
other failure by the Borrowers to repay such Loans when required by the terms of
this Agreement or (y) an election made pursuant to Section 2.12(b). Calculation
of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.13 shall be made as
though that Lender had actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Loan through the
purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the relevant LIBOR Rate in
an amount equal to the amount of that Loan, having a maturity comparable to the
relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit
from an offshore office of that Lender or other bank to a domestic office of
that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however that each Lender
may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the
foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts
payable under this Section 2.13.

    2.14 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

         (a) Each borrowing by the Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder, each
payment by the Borrowers on account of the Commitment Fee hereunder and any
reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to
the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each optional prepayment
by the Borrowers of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according
to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans
then held by the respective Lenders. Each payment (other than optional
prepayments) by or on behalf of the Borrowers (including any application of
proceeds of collateral) on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans
shall be made pro rata according to the respective amounts of such principal or
interest then due and owing. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by
the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set off or
counterclaim and shall be made prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at
the Administrative Agent's office specified in Section 9.2, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any
payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless the
result of such extension would be to cause such payment to be made in the
succeeding calendar month, in which event such payment shall be due and payable
on the immediately preceding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of
principal and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension.

         (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing
by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender (a "Defaulting Lender") will
not make the amount that would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrowers 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. A certificate of the Administrative Agent
submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

    2.15 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 the Lenders 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:

              (i) shall subject Lenders to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Note or any LIBOR Rate Loan made by them or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to such Lenders in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded
Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
income of such Lenders);

              (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 Lenders which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR
Rate hereunder; or

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

                                      -34-
<PAGE>
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lenders,
by an amount which such Lenders and the Administrative Agent deems to be
material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans
or of issuing and maintaining Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers
shall promptly pay such Lenders such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lenders for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

         (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 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, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such reduction.

         (c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the relevant Borrowers (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has
become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant
to this Section submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error
provided that the determination as to such additional amounts has been made in
good faith. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

    2.16 Taxes.

         (a) All payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement and any
Notes 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a
present or former connection between the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent or such Lender
having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment
under, or enforced, this Agreement or any Note). If any such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings
("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Note, the amounts
so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the
extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after
payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable
hereunder at the

                                      -35-
<PAGE>
rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the
Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any
Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a
state thereof if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of subsection
(b) below. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrowers, as
promptly as possible thereafter the Borrowers shall send to the Administrative
Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be,
a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrowers
showing payment thereof. If the Borrowers fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes
when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the
Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The
agreements in this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

         (b) Each Lender that is not incorporated or organized under the laws of
the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia
shall:

              (i) deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or
before the date on which it becomes a Lender either (A) two properly completed
and duly executed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or
4224 (or successor applicable form, as the case may be) claiming complete
exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments by the
Borrowers under this Agreement or (B) in the case of a Lender claiming exemption
from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code
with respect to payments of "portfolio interest" by the Borrowers under this
Agreement, a properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 (or successor applicable form, as the case may be) and an
annual certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of
Section 881(c) of the Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal
requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank
for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to
any Governmental Authority, any application made to a rating agency or
qualification for any exemption from tax, securities law or other legal
requirements, is not a 10% shareholder of any Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and is not a controlled foreign corporation
receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code;

              (ii) deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two
further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any
such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered;
and

              (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such
forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent;

provided, however, that such Lender shall not be required to perform the
obligations under this subsection (b) if an event (including, without
limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the
date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing

                                      -36-
<PAGE>
and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

    2.17 Indemnity.

         The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Lender
and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may
sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in making a
borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans after such
Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrowers in making any
prepayment after the Borrowers have given a notice thereof in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or payment of
LIBOR Rate Loans on a day which 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 which 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) which 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
eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

    2.18 Letters of Credit.

         (a) The Issuing Lender will, from time to time until the Revolving
Credit Termination Date, upon receipt of duly executed Applications and such
other documents, instruments and/or agreements as the Issuing Lender may
require, issue or amend Letters of Credit on such terms as are satisfactory to
the Issuing Lender, provided, however that the Issuing Lender shall not issue
any Letter of Credit (A) at any time if, after giving effect to such Letter of
Credit, the Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the lesser of (i)
$5,000,000, (ii) the Borrowing Base less the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, or (iii)
the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments less the sum of (w) the
Letter of Credit Obligations and (x) the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Credit Loans, (B) with an expiry date (i) more than one year from its
issuance or (ii) subsequent to a date 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, and (C) in any currency other than Dollars or Euros.

         (b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, on demand, for each
such payment made by the Issuing Lender under or pursuant to any Letter of
Credit or L/C Draft. The Borrowers also jointly and severally agree to pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, on demand,
interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.10 applicable to Base Rate Loans on
any amount paid by the Issuing Lender under or pursuant to any Letter of Credit
or L/C Draft from the date of payment until the date of reimbursement to the
Issuing Lender.

                                      -37-
<PAGE>
         (c) The Borrowers' obligations to reimburse the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Issuing Lender for payments and disbursements made by the
Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment which the Borrowers may have or have had against the Issuing
Lender (or any other Lender), including, without limitation, the legality,
validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, or the identity
of the transferee of such Letter of Credit or the sufficiency of any transfer of
such Letter of Credit if transferable; provided, however, that the Borrowers
shall not be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment or disbursement made under any
Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence
or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender or any of its officers,
employees or agents.

         (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
Application, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall, without
demand upon or further notice to the Borrowers, be deemed (as between the
Issuing Lender and the Borrowers) to have been paid or disbursed by the Issuing
Lender under the Letters of Credit issued and L/C Drafts accepted by the Issuing
Lender (notwithstanding that such amounts may not in fact have been so paid or
disbursed), and a Revolving Credit Loan, which shall be a Base Rate Loan, to the
Borrowers in the amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations to have been made
and accepted by the Borrowers, which Loan shall be immediately due and payable.

         (e) With respect to each Letter of Credit, each Lender (other than the
Issuing Lender) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall be
deemed to have purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse
or warranty an undivided interest in such Letter of Credit, effective
simultaneously with the issuance thereof, in an amount equal to such Lender's
Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit. For the purposes of this
Agreement, the proportionate interest which the Issuing Lender retains in each
Letter of Credit shall be referred to as its "participation" in such Letter of
Credit.

         (f) If the Issuing Lender shall fail to be reimbursed pursuant to
subsections (b) or (d) above by the Borrowers for any payment or disbursement
under a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft, each other Lender shall, promptly upon
request of the Issuing Lender, make a Revolving Credit Loan, which shall be a
Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such
payment or disbursement. If the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender
subsequently receives from the Borrowers any reimbursement of such payment or
disbursement, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may
be, shall promptly remit to each Lender its Commitment Percentage of such
reimbursement. All interest payments received by the Issuing Lender or the
Administrative Agent on account of reimbursements under this Agreement shall be
promptly distributed by the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the
case may be, to the other Lenders pro rata according to their respective
Commitment Percentages (except to the extent that the Issuing Lender was not
promptly reimbursed by any such Lender).

         (g) The obligation of each Lender to provide the Administrative Agent
with such Lender's pro rata share of the amount of any payment or disbursement
made by the Issuing

                                      -38-
<PAGE>
Lender under any outstanding Letter of Credit or L/C Draft shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment which such Lender may have or have had
against the Issuing Lender (or any other Lender), including, without limitation,
any defense based on the failure of the demand for payment under such Letter of
Credit to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, the legality, validity,
regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, or the identity of the
transferee of such Letter of Credit or the sufficiency of any transfer if such
Letter of Credit is transferable; provided, however, that the Lenders shall not
be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment or
disbursement made under any Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing
Lender or any of its officers, employees or agents.

         (h) In determining whether to make any payment under or pursuant to any
Letter of Credit or any related L/C Draft, the Issuing Lender shall have no
obligation to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person other than to
confirm that any documents required to be delivered have been delivered and that
such documents comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of
Credit. No action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection
with any Letter of Credit or L/C Draft, if taken or omitted in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall put the Issuing Lender under any
resulting liability to the Borrowers or any Lender.

         (i) (i) If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due
and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding upon the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall either (A) pay to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders cash or Cash Equivalents
acceptable to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum
amount then available to be drawn under such applicable Letter of Credit
outstanding for the benefit of the Borrowers (the "Cash Collateral Amounts"),
(B) cause all such Letters of Credit to be canceled and returned, or (C) deliver
a standby letter (or letters) of credit in guaranty of such Letter of Credit
Obligation, which standby letter (or letters) of credit shall be of like tenor
and duration as, and in an amount equal to, 105% of the aggregate maximum amount
then available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit to which such outstanding
Letter of Credit Obligations relate and shall be issued by a Person, and shall
be subject to such terms and conditions, as are satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

              (ii) From time to time after the Cash Collateral Amounts are
deposited in the Cash Collateral Account by any Borrower, the Administrative
Agent may apply the Cash Collateral Amounts to the payment of any amounts, in
such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, as such shall become due and
payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit
Obligations of the Borrowers and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Letter of
Credit Obligations of the Borrowers, to any other Obligations of the Borrowers
then due and payable.

              (iii) Neither any Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or
through any Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the Cash Collateral
Amounts, except that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations
and the payment of all amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders in
respect thereof, and any funds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be
applied to the other Obligations when due and owing and

                                      -39-
<PAGE>
upon payment in full of such obligations and any remaining amount shall be paid
to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by law.

              (iv) The Cash Collateral Amounts shall be held by the
Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account (the "Cash Collateral
Account") maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Cash Collateral Account
shall be in the name of one or more Borrowers and shall be pledged to, and
subject to the control of, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in a manner satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. The Borrowers pledge and grant to the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, a security interest in the Cash Collateral
Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment
of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and the other
Obligations, whether or not then due and the provisions of this subsection (iv)
shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

    2.19 Change of Lending Office.

         Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise
to the operation of Section 2.12(a)(ii) or (iii) or Section 2.16 with respect to
such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts
(subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate another
lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such
designation is made on such terms that, in the opinion of such Lender, such
Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving
rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall
affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the right of any
Lender provided in Section 2.12 or 2.16.

    2.20 Replacement of Lenders.

         (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (y) upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.12(a)(ii) or
(iii), Section 2.12(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results
in such Lender charging to the Borrowers increased costs in excess of those
being generally charged by the other Lenders, the Borrowers shall have the
right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, to replace such Lender
(the "Replaced Lender") with one or more other lenders or financial
institutions, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of
such replacement (collectively, the "Replacement Lender") reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement
pursuant to this Section 2.20, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or
more Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 9.6(c) (and with all fees
payable pursuant to said Section 9.6(c) to be paid by the Replacement Lender)
pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Revolving Loan
Commitments (including all Letter of Credit Obligations) and all of the
outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay
to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to (A) the principal
of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender
plus (B) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender
pursuant to Section 2.3, and (ii) all obligations (including, without
limitation, all such amounts, if any, due and owing under Section 2.13) of the
Borrowers due and owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically
described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price
has

                                      -40-
<PAGE>
been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced
Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective
Assignment and Acceptance, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii) above, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the
Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with
respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.16, 8.7 and 9.5), which shall survive as to
such Replaced Lender.

    2.21 Authority to Debit Borrower Account.

         The Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to debit an
amount from the Borrower Account to the extent the Administrative Agent is
entitled to withdraw any amount from the Borrower Account pursuant to any Loan
Document.

    2.22 Eligible Accounts.

         All of the Accounts (other than payments due BGS under the License
Agreements) owned by Borrowing Base Entities and reflected in the most recent

Eligible Accounts from time to time in its reasonable credit judgment. In
addition, Administrative Agent reserves the right, at any time and from time to
time after the Closing Date, to adjust any of the criteria set forth below, to
establish new criteria and to adjust advance rates with respect to Eligible

approval of Lenders in the case of adjustments or new criteria or changes in
advance rates or the elimination of Reserves which have the effect of making
more credit available. Eligible Accounts shall not include any Account of

conditional;

         (l) that is in default; provided, that, without limiting the generality

the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrowers to
Administrative Agent shall be "Eligible Inventory" for purposes of this
Agreement, except any inventory to which any of the exclusionary criteria set

SECTION 3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

    To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this
Agreement and to make the Loans, and to induce the Issuing Lender to issue
Letters of Credit, the Borrowers hereby represent and warrant, jointly and
severally, to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each Lender that:

    3.1 Financial Condition.

         The consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of
income and cash flow for the fiscal year then ended on such date, reported on by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and certified by the chief financial officer of the
Parent, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, are
complete and correct and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of
the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the related
schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
consistently throughout the period involved (except as approved by such
accountants or chief financial officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed
therein). Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1, neither the Parent nor any of its
consolidated Subsidiaries had, at the date of the balance sheet referred to
above, any material Guarantee Obligation, contingent liability or liability for
taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment,
including, without limitation, any obligation under an Hedging Agreement which
is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto. During the
period from June 30, 2001 to and including the date hereof, other than the sale
of the business and substantially all of the assets of the so-called "Roll
Handling Group" of the Credit Parties and of the print on demand business of
Baldwin Document Finishing Systems, Inc., there has been no sale, transfer or
other disposition by the Parent or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any
material part of its business or property and no purchase or other acquisition
of any business or property (including any Capital Stock of any other Person)
material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Parent and
its consolidated Subsidiaries at June 30, 2001, other than the sale of inventory
in the ordinary course of business.

    3.2 No Change.

         Since June 30, 2001, other than the sale of the business and
substantially all of the assets of the so-called "Roll Handling Group" of the
Credit Parties and of the print on demand business of Baldwin Document Finishing
Systems, Inc., there has been no development or event which has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                      -45-
<PAGE>
    3.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.

         Each Credit Party is (a) validly existing and in good standing under
the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate 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 where the failure
to so qualify or be in good standing would not, 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.

    3.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.

         Each Credit Party has the corporate 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 Borrowers only, to borrow hereunder and, in the case of
the Borrowers only, has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the
borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes and to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and, in
the case of the Borrowers only, each Hedging Agreement, if any, to which it is a
party. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or
in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in
connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents and each Hedging
Agreement. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document and each
Hedging Agreement to which it is a party will be, duly executed and delivered on
behalf of each Credit Party that is a party hereto or thereto. This Agreement
constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party when executed
and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each
Credit Party that is a party hereto or thereto enforceable against such Credit
Party in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar
laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

    3.5 No Legal Bar.

         The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and each
Hedging Agreement to which any Credit Party is a party, if any, the borrowings
hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement
of Law or material Contractual Obligation of any Credit Party or of any of its
Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of
any Lien, other than the Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, on any of
its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement
of Law or Contractual Obligation.

                                      -46-
<PAGE>
    3.6 No Material Litigation.

         Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6, no litigation, investigation or
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or,
to the knowledge of the Credit Parties, threatened by or against any Credit
Party or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with
respect to any of the Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

    3.7 No Default.

         None of the Credit Parties 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.

    3.8 Ownership of Property; Liens.

         Each of the Credit Parties has good record and marketable title in fee
simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and 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 6.3. With
respect to real property or interests in real property, as of the Closing Date,
each Credit Party has (i) fee title to all of the real property listed on
Schedule 3.8 under the heading "Fee Properties" (each, a "Fee Property"), and
(ii) good and valid title to the leasehold estates in all of the real property
leased by it and listed on Schedule 3.8 under the heading "Leased Properties"
(each, a "Leased Property"), in each case free and clear of all mortgages,
liens, security interests, easements, covenants, rights-of-way and other similar
restrictions of any nature whatsoever, except (A) Liens permitted pursuant to
Section 6.3, (B) as to Leased Property, the terms and provisions of the
respective lease therefor and any matters affecting the fee title and any estate
superior to the leasehold estate related thereto, and (C) title defects, or
leases or subleases granted to others, which are not material to the Fee
Properties or the Leased Properties, as the case may be, taken as a whole. The
Fee Properties and the Leased Properties constitute, as of the Closing Date, all
of the real property owned in fee or leased by each of the Credit Parties.

    3.9 Intellectual Property.

         Each Credit Party owns, or is licensed to use or otherwise has the
right to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents, trade secrets and
other proprietary information that it uses in the conduct of its business as
currently conducted except for those the failure to own or license which could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (the "Intellectual
Property"). To the knowledge of each Credit Party, no claim has been asserted
and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such
Intellectual Property or the validity or enforceability of any such Intellectual
Property, nor does any Credit Party know of any valid basis for any such claim.

respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the

    3.12 Federal Regulations.

         No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for "purchasing" or

conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-1 or FR Form U-1 referred to in
said Regulation U, as the case may be.

    3.13 ERISA.

         (a) Except to the extent that all of the following, taken together,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each
Plan (and each related trust, insurance contract or fund) is in substantial
compliance with its terms and with all applicable laws, including without
limitation ERISA and the Code; each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which
is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (other than a
standardized prototype plan) has received a determination letter from the

Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code (or an application as to such
determination is currently pending with the IRS); no Reportable Event has
occurred; to the knowledge of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties, no
Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; no Plan has an Unfunded
Current Liability; no Plan has an accumulated funding deficiency, within the
meaning of such sections of the Code or ERISA, or has applied for or received a
waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or an extension of any amortization
period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of
ERISA; all contributions required to be made with respect to a Plan and each
Multiemployer Plan have been timely made; neither any Borrower nor any

(including any indirect, contingent or secondary liability) to or on account of
a Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 4062, 4063, 4064, or 4069 of
ERISA or Section 401(a)(29), 4971 or 4975 of the Code or to or on account of a

                                      -48-
<PAGE>
Multiemployer Plan pursuant to Section 515, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or
reasonably expects to incur any of such liability under any of the foregoing
sections with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan; to the Borrowers'
knowledge no condition exists which presents a material risk to any Borrower or
any Subsidiary of any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a liability
to or on account of a Plan or Multiemployer Plan pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of ERISA and the Code; no proceedings have been instituted to
terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Plan which is subject to Title
IV of ERISA; no action, suit, proceeding, hearing, audit or investigation with
respect to the administration, operation or the investment of assets of any Plan
(other than routine claims for benefits) is pending, reasonably expected or to
the Borrowers' knowledge threatened; using actuarial assumptions and computation
methods consistent with Part 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate
liabilities of any Borrower and its Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates to
each Multiemployer Plan in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of
the close of the most recent fiscal year of each Multiemployer Plan ended prior
to the date of the most recent Credit Event, would not result in a liability to
such Borrower, other Credit Party, Subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate; each group
health plan (as defined in Section 607(l) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the
Code) other than a multiemployer plan described in Section 3(37) of ERISA
maintained or contributed to by any Borrower, a Subsidiary of any Borrower or an
ERISA Affiliate which covers or has covered employees or former employees of any
Borrower, any Subsidiary of any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times
been operated in compliance with the provisions of Part 6 of subtitle B of Title
I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code; no lien imposed under the Code or
ERISA on the assets of any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower or any
ERISA Affiliate exists or, to the Borrowers' knowledge, is likely to arise on
account of any Plan or Multiemployer Plan; and the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries do not maintain or contribute to any employee welfare benefit plan
(as defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA) which provides benefits to retired
employees or other former employees (other than as required by Section 601 of
ERISA).

         (b) Expect as would not result in a material liability, each Foreign
Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and
with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules,
regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing
with applicable regulatory authorities. Except as would not result in a material
liability, all contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign
Pension Plan have been timely made. Neither the Borrowers nor any of their
Subsidiaries have incurred any material obligation in connection with the
termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. Except as set forth
in Schedule 3.13, the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether
or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the
Borrowers' most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial
assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of
the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

    3.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations.

         No Credit 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 Borrower is subject to regulation under any Federal or
State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

Properties or materially impair the fair saleable value thereof.

         (c) Neither any Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or
potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with

         (e) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6, no judicial proceeding or
governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the

or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the
Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of any Credit Party or
any Subsidiary thereof in connection with the Properties or otherwise in

could reasonably give rise to liability to any Credit Party under Environmental
Laws.

         Each Credit Party is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all
Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith will be and
will continue to be, Solvent.

    3.19 Security Documents.

         (a) Each Stock Pledge 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 (as such term is defined in such
Stock Pledge Agreement) and proceeds thereof and constitutes a fully perfected
first priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest
of the Pledgors in such Collateral, as security for the Secured Obligations (as

superior in right to any other Person, subject to exceptions to be determined.

         Keep all property useful and necessary in its business in good working
order and condition; maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance
companies insurance on all its property in at least such amounts and against at
least such risks (but including in any event general liability, product

and adjusting claims under such "All Risk" policies of insurance, endorsing the

the foregoing power-of-attorney. Borrowers shall promptly notify Administrative
Agent of any loss, damage, or destruction to the Collateral in the amount of

apply such proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations in accordance with
Section 2.5(a)(ii), or (y) permit or require the applicable Credit Party to use
such money, or any part thereof, to replace, repair, restore or rebuild the
Collateral in a diligent and expeditious manner with materials and workmanship
of substantially the same quality as existed before the loss, damage or
destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the casualty giving rise to such
insurance proceeds could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect and such insurance proceeds do not exceed $250,000 in the aggregate,
Administrative Agent shall permit the applicable Credit Party to replace,
restore, repair or rebuild the property; provided that if such Credit Party has
not completed or entered into binding agreements to complete such replacement,

                                      -61-
<PAGE>
restoration, repair or rebuilding within 180 days of such casualty,
Administrative Agent may apply such insurance proceeds to the Obligations in
accordance with Section 2.5(a)(ii). All insurance proceeds that are to be made
available to the applicable Credit Party to replace, repair, restore or rebuild
the Collateral shall be deposited in a cash collateral account. Thereafter, such
funds shall be made available to the applicable Credit Party to provide funds to
replace, repair, restore or rebuild the Collateral as follows: (i) such Credit
Party shall request a release from the cash collateral account be made to such
Credit Party in the amount requested to be released; and (ii) so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Administrative Agent shall
release funds from the cash collateral account. To the extent not used to
replace, repair, restore or rebuild the Collateral, such insurance proceeds

hours, permit representatives of the Administrative Agent to visit and inspect
any of its properties and examine and make abstracts from any of its books and

authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on

employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or any such Person under or
in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Hedging
Agreement (except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful

in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Hedging
Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Hedging

hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent 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 any Hedging Agreement, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of any Borrower.

    8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

         The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any 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, without limitation, counsel
to any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative 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. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any Hedging Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan

notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the

referring to this Agreement and 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

                                      -75-
<PAGE>
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; 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 and in
the best interests of the Lenders.

    8.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

         Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative
Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of any Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each
Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers 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 the
Administrative 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 the Hedging Agreements, 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 Borrowers. 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 Borrower which may come into
the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

    8.7 Indemnification.

         The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity
as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective
Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought
(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 their Commitment 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 which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any
time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the
Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any of the Hedging
Agreements 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 the Administrative

                                      -76-
<PAGE>
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 resulting solely from the Administrative 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.

    8.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.

         The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept
deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower as
though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents and the Hedging Agreements. With respect to the
Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Hedging Agreements as
any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative
Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity.

    8.9 Successor Administrative Agent.

         The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10
days notice to Lenders. In addition, the Administrative Agent may be removed in
its capacity as Administrative Agent, by vote of the Required Lenders (for which
purpose Administrative Agent shall not be deemed a Lender and its Commitment and
Commitment Percentage shall be excluded from such calculation) if, at any time
after the Closing Date, (i) the Administrative Agent ceases to hold an economic
stake of at least ten percent (10%) of the Commitment or the Loans, whether as a
result of any assignment of participation permitted under this Agreement or
otherwise, or (ii) the Administrative Agent has engaged in any conduct that
constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Administrative Agent
shall resign or be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor
Administrative Agent shall be deemed approved by the Borrowers, whereupon such
successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such
successor Administrative 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. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation
as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.9 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 and the
Hedging Agreements.

    8.10 Documentation Agent.

         The parties agree that the Documentation Agent shall not have any
special duties, rights or powers under this Agreement but shall be entitled to
the same protections afforded to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8
to the extent that the Documentation Agent performed any duties or exercised any
rights or powers, in such capacity under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.  MISCELLANEOUS

    9.1 Amendments and Waivers.

         (a) Neither this Agreement nor 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. The Required Lenders may, or, with the
written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time
to time, (a) enter into with the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties, written
amendments, 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
Borrowers and the other Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder, or (b) waive in
writing, 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) reduce the amount or
extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or of any installment thereof,
or reduce the stated rate of, or amount of, any interest, fee or other amount
payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or
increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender's Commitment, in
each case without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, or (ii) amend,
modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce the percentage specified
in the definition of Required Lenders, or consent to the assignment or transfer
by any Borrower or any of the other Credit Parties of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or release all or
a material portion of the Collateral or release any Guarantee or Guarantor or
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.7, in each case without the
written consent of all the Lenders. Any such waiver and any such amendment,
supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall
be binding upon the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any
waiver, the Parent, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions 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; no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon, except as may be expressly set forth in any such
waiver.

         (b) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or consent
with respect to any provision of this Agreement that increases the percentage
advance rates set forth in the definition of the Borrowing Base, or that makes
less restrictive the nondiscretionary criteria for exclusion from Eligible
Accounts, Eligible Inventory, Eligible M & E, Eligible Real Estate and Eligible
Royalty Payments set forth in Sections 2.22, 2.23, 2.24, 2.25 and 2.26, shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Administrative
Agent, Required Lenders and Borrowers. No amendment, modification, termination
or waiver of or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement that
waives compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 to the
making of any Loan or the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Administrative
Agent, Required Lenders and Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, no waiver or consent with respect to any Default
or any Event of Default shall be

                                      -78-
<PAGE>
effective for purposes of the conditions precedent to the making of Loans or the
incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations set forth in Section 4.2, unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, Required Lenders
and Borrowers.

    9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

         No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

    9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

         All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan
Documents and the Hedging Agreements and in any document, certificate or
statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder
until all obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been
paid in full and the Commitments hereunder have been terminated.

    9.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes.

         The Borrowers jointly and severally agree (a) to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the development, preparation, syndication and
execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and the Hedging Agreements and any other documents
prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and
administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrative Agent, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative
Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the Hedging Agreements and any such other documents, including,
without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Lender and of
counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender
and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing
fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in
paying stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined
to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation
or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of,
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Hedging Agreements and any such
other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the
Administrative Agent, and each of their respective Affiliates, directors,
officers, employees and representatives (each, an "Indemnified Party") harmless
from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
the Hedging Agreements, and the use of the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters
of Credit, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the
violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law
applicable to the operations of the Borrowers,

                                      -80-
<PAGE>
any of the other Credit Parties or any of the Properties (all the foregoing in
this clause (d), collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), provided, that
the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with
respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Party. The agreements in this Section shall
survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

    9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

         (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower or any
other Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

         (b) Any Lender shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from
time to time, and without the consent of or notice to any Borrower or any other
Credit Party, to grant to one of more banks or other financial institutions
(each, a "Participant") participating interests in any or all of the Loans held
by such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a
participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the
Borrowers or the other Credit Parties, the Borrowers and the other Credit
Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with Lender's rights and obligations hereunder. Any Lender may
furnish any information concerning the Borrowers in its possession from time to
time to prospective Participants, provided that the Lenders shall require any
such prospective Participant to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality
of such information.

         (c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to
time assign to any of its affiliates or to any Lender or any affiliate thereof
or to an additional bank or financial institution or any affiliate thereof (an
"Assignee"), in the case of any assignment relating to Commitments to such an
additional bank or financial institution with the consent of the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent (which consents in each case shall not be unreasonably
withheld), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance,
substantially in the form of Exhibit I, executed by such Assignee, such
assigning Lender (and, to the extent required, by the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its
acceptance and recording in the Register. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth
therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided
in such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section and subsection (d) below, the
consent of the Borrowers shall not be required, and, unless requested by the
Assignee and/or the assigning Lender, new Notes shall not be required to be
executed and delivered by the

                                      -81-
<PAGE>
Borrowers, for any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events
described in Section 7 shall have occurred and be continuing (including during
any grace or cure period).

         (d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers,
maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 9.2 a
copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the
"Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and
the Commitment of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender from
time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of
manifest error and provided such entries are made in good faith, and the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other
obligation hereunder or under any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder or under any
Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being
made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

         (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of any assignment relating to
Revolving Credit Loans to an Affiliate of such assigning Lender or to an
Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept
such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined
pursuant thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and
give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrowers.

         (f) The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant
or Assignee (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee approved by
the Borrowers in accordance with Section 9.6(c), subject to the provisions of
Section 9.15, any and all financial information in such Lender's possession
concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates which has been delivered to such
Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or which has
been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers in connection
with such Lender's credit evaluation of the Borrowers and their Affiliates prior
to becoming a party to this Agreement.

         (g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes
relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit
assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any
pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank
in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from such Lender's obligations hereunder or
under any other Loan Document.

    9.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

         (a) If any Lender (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any
payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off,
pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature

                                      -82-
<PAGE>
referred to in clause (f) of Section 7, or otherwise), in a greater proportion
than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in
respect of such other Lender's Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender
shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lender's Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders
with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits
of such collateral or proceeds 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 Benefited 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 Borrowers or
the other Credit Parties, any such notice being expressly waived by the
Borrowers and the other Credit Parties to the extent permitted by applicable
law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower or any other
Credit Party 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 any Borrower or any other Credit
Party. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers, the other Credit
Parties and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made
by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application.

         (c) Each of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties hereby grant to
each Lender a continuing lien, security interest and right of set-off as
security for all liabilities and obligations to such Lender, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits,
collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody,
safekeeping or control of such Lender or any entity under the control of
FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its successors and assigns or in transit
to any of them. At any time, without demand or notice (any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties), such Lender may
set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or
obligation of Borrower and any other Credit Party and regardless of the adequacy
of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE
ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER
COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF
WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWERS OR ANY
OTHER CREDIT PARTIES, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

    9.8 Pledge to the Federal Reserve.

         Each Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement or any loan documents to any of the twelve (12)
Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12
U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or

                                      -83-
<PAGE>
assignment or enforcement thereof shall release any Lender from its obligations
under this Agreement or any of the loan documents.

    9.9 Replacement Promissory Note.

         Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of a Note issued to such Lender or any other
security document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation of such Note or other
security document, Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note or
other security document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of
like tenor.

    9.10 Counterparts.

         This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile
transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement
signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent.

    9.11 Severability.

         Any provision of this Agreement which 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 such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

    9.12 Integration.

         This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Hedging Agreements,
if any, are intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive
statement of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the Hedging Agreements. All prior or contemporaneous promises,

Agreements, and no party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding
not set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Hedging
Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Hedging
Agreements may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument
describing such amendment or modification executed by the parties.

         THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF

    9.16 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.

         EACH BORROWER, THE PARENT, THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT AND THE LENDERS MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR
HEDGING AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY
COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR
ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,
COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF LENDERS RELATING TO THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOANS OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR HEDGING
AGREEMENT, AND AGREE THAT NONE OF THE PARTIES WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH
ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN
WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY
HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL
DAMAGES. EACH BORROWER, THE PARENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES CERTIFY THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF LENDERS HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT LENDERS WOULD NOT, BY THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE
THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE
LENDERS TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS.

    9.17 Confidentiality.

         The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential
all non-public information provided to it by any Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement that is designated by such Borrower in writing as confidential;
provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such
information (i) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (ii) to any
Transferee which receives such information having been made aware of the
confidential nature thereof, (iii) to its and its Affiliates' employees,
directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, (iv)
upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over such Lender, (v) in response to any order of any court or other
Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any
Requirement of Law, (vi) which has been publicly disclosed other than in breach
of this Agreement, or (vii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements.

    9.18 Judgment Currency.

         (a) The Borrowers' obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents to make payments in the applicable Approved Currency (the "Obligation
Currency") shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery
pursuant to any judgment

                                      -86-
<PAGE>
expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency,
except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective
receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount
of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent
or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If for the
purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Borrower in any court or
in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency
other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter
referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in the Obligation
Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Equivalent Dollar Amount, and, in
the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the
Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of
exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the
Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day
immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day
being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency Conversion Date").

         (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the
Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount
due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such
additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be
necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when
converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will
produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased
with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial
award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion
Date.

    9.19 Euro.

         (a) If at any time that a Loan based on any Alternative Currency is
outstanding, the relevant Alternative Currency is fully replaced as the lawful
currency of the country that issued such Alternative Currency (the "Issuing
Country") by the Euro so that all payments are to be made in the Issuing Country
in Euros and not in the Alternative Currency previously the lawful currency of
such Issuing Country, then such Loan based on an Alternative Currency shall be
automatically converted into a Loan denominated in Euros in a principal amount
or stated amount equal to the amount of Euros into which the principal amount or
stated amount of such Loan based on an Alternative Currency would be converted
pursuant to the EMU Legislation and thereafter no further Loans will be
available in such Alternative Currency, with the basis of accrual of interest,
notices requirements and payment offices with respect to such converted Loans to
be that consistent with the convention and practices in the London interbank
market for Euro-denominated Loans.

         (b) The Borrowers shall from time to time, at the request of any
Lender, pay to such Lender the amount of any losses, damages, liabilities,
claims, reduction in yield, additional expense, increased cost, reduction in any
amount payable, reduction in the effective return of its capital, the decrease
or delay in the payment of interest or any other return forgone by such Lender
or its affiliates as a result of the tax or currency exchange resulting from the
introduction, changeover to or operation of the Euro in any applicable nation or
Eurocurrency market.

SECTION 10.  GUARANTY

    10.1 The Guaranty.

         Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly
and severally guaranties the full and punctual payment (whether at stated
maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest of
the obligations of the other Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. Upon failure by any other Borrower to pay punctually any such amount,
each Borrower shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place
and in the manner specified in this Agreement or the other applicable Loan
Document.

    10.2 Guaranty Unconditional.

         The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 10 shall be
unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

         (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release
in respect of any obligation of any other Borrower under this Agreement or any
Note or any other Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

         (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or
any Note or any other Loan Document;

         (c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect
security for any obligation of any other Borrower under this Agreement or any
Note or any other Loan Document;

         (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of
any other Borrower or any other Credit Party, or any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any other Borrower or any
other Credit Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any
other Borrower or any other Credit Party or any obligation of any other Borrower
or any other Credit Party contained in this Agreement or any Note or any other
Loan Document;

         (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which each
Borrower may have at any time against any other Borrower or any other Credit
Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in
connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein
shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory
counterclaim;

         (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other
Borrower or any other Credit Party, for any reason, of this Agreement or any
Note or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law or
regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any other Borrower or any other
Credit Party of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount
payable by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

                                      -88-
<PAGE>
         (g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any other
Borrower or any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the
provisions of this Section 10, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such
Borrower's obligations hereunder.

    10.3 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain
Circumstances.

         Each Borrower's obligations under this Section 10 shall remain in full
force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated and the principal
of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers
under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall have been
finally and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. If at any time any payment of the
principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by any Borrower
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization
of any Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise, each Borrower's obligations
hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as
though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

    10.4 Waiver by the Borrower.

         Each Borrower irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment,
demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any
requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any
Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person.

    10.5 Subrogation.

         Each Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights to which it may be
entitled, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment hereunder to
be subrogated to the rights of the payee against any other Borrower or any other
Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed,
indemnified or exonerated by such other Borrower or any other Credit Party in
respect thereof, until the expiration of one year after all amounts owing to the
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been repaid and
the Commitments are terminated.

    10.6 Stay of Acceleration.

         If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any
Borrower or any other Credit Party under this Agreement or the Notes or any
other Loan Document is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
any Borrower or any other Credit Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to
acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by
each Borrower hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at
the request of the Required Lenders.
