                                  INTRODUCTION

1.01  Establishment and Name of Plan

      This Coinstar, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan is
      established, effective January 1, 2002, as an unfunded plan maintained
      primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a
      select group of management or highly compensated employees of Coinstar,
      Inc. or any Participating Company (as defined below).

1.02  Intent and Status of Plan

      The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained by Coinstar,
      Inc. (the Company) primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
      compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated
      employees of the Company (and intended to be within the exemptions
      therefore, without limitation, of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(1)
      and 4021(b)(6) of ERISA and Section 220.104-23 of the Labor
      Regulations). The Plan is intended to be "unfunded" for purposes of
      both ERISA and the Code. The Plan is not intended to be a qualified
      plan under Section 401(a) of the Code; rather, the Plan is intended to
      be a "nonqualified" plan.

       Participant to any qualified or non-qualified plans of the Company or
       other any Participating Company and shall be calculated to include
       salary reduction contributions and salary deferrals not

         The Company shall establish and maintain for each Participant or former
         Participant a Deferred Compensation Account and a Participating Company
         Contribution Account for the purpose of measuring and determining
         amounts payable under this Plan. The Company shall maintain such
         subaccounts within such Accounts as it determines to be necessary for
         the proper administration of the Plan. The provisions of this Article 4
         shall govern such Deferred Compensation Account and Participating
         Company Contribution Account.

4.02     Elective Deferral Amounts

                    days prior to the Compensation Deferral Date and ending ten
                    (10) days prior to the Compensation Deferral Date on which
                    such Compensation Deferral Period begins to defer a
                    specified percentage of his or her Annual Base Salary and/or
                    Annual Bonus which would otherwise be payable by the Company
                    or any other Participating Company to the Participant during
                    the Compensation Deferral Period beginning on such
                    Compensation Deferral Date. Any such election shall be made
                    on a Compensation Deferral Agreement, which is duly executed
                    by the Participant, and which is delivered by such

                    -------------------------------------------
                    a Participant pursuant to Subsection 4.02(a)(i) and any
                    subsequent election will continue (and may not be modified,
                    altered, or changed in any way) until the earliest of:

                          first day of the next Compensation Deferral Period
                          following such election,

                    (B)   the Participant is no longer designated as eligible to

                          Participating Companies, or

                    (D)   the Plan is amended or terminated such that the Plan
                          no longer permits deferrals of Compensation.

                          A Participant's Compensation Deferral Agreement shall
                          remain in effect for all subsequent Compensation
                          Deferral Periods until the Participant executes a new
                          Compensation Deferral Agreement. Any new Compensation
                          Deferral Agreement shall become effective the first
                          day of the Compensation Deferral Period that next
                          follows the date of the new Compensation Deferral
                          Agreement.

              each month.

              ----------------------------------
              match each Participant's annual deferral and credit to his or her
              Participating Company Contribution Account any amount the
              Participating Company chooses. Each Participating Company may, in
              addition or as an alternative, make a discretionary

                                       9

<PAGE>

                  contribution to any or all eligible employees or Participants.
                  No Participating Company is required to make any contribution
                  of any kind.

         (b)      Vesting. Except as provided in Section 7.02, a Participant's
                  -------
                  Participating Company Contributions for a Compensation
                  Deferral Period, and any earnings thereon, will Vest (become
                  nonforfeitable) as follows:

                         .    0% prior to the third anniversary of the beginning
                              of the Compensation Deferral Period to which the
                              Participating Company Contribution relates; and

                         .    100% upon third anniversary of the beginning of
                              the Compensation Deferral Period to which the
                              Participating Company Contribution relates,
                              provided the Participant is employed by the
                              Company or a Related Company on such date.

                  In no event, however, will a Participant's vesting percentage
                  with respect to any Participating Company Contribution and its
                  associated earnings be reduced by a change in vesting
                  schedule.

                  All of a Participant's Participating Company Contributions,
                  and all earnings thereon, will become 100% Vested on the
                  earliest of the following events (even if they would not be

                         .    the Participant's Normal Retirement Date;
                         .    the Participant's Disability; or
                         .    the Participant's death.

                  Participant's interest in his or her Participating Company
                  Contribution Account, including the Vested portion thereof,
                  may be subject to Forfeiture under Article 7 of the Plan.

            (c)   Crediting of Participating Company Contributions. The
                  ------------------------------------------------
                  Committee shall credit amounts equal to the Participating
                  Company Contribution to the Participant's Participating
                  Company Account at the time determined by the Committee.

     4.04   Deemed Investment Amounts Credited to Deferred Compensation Accounts
            and Participating Company Contribution Accounts

            Solely as a device to measure amounts payable to Participants,
            former Participants, or beneficiaries hereunder, the Committee shall
            establish uniform and nondiscriminatory rules consistent with this
            Section for the treatment of amounts credited to a Participant's
            Deferred Compensation Account and Participating Company Contribution
            Account based on the return of a set of investment funds designated
            by the Committee. No investment of such amounts is required. The
            Committee shall retain the discretion to invest all amounts credited
            to a Participant's Deferred Compensation Account and Participating
            Company Contribution Account under this Plan as it deems
            appropriate. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit
            Participants to designate deemed investment of amounts credited to a
            Participant's Deferred Compensation Account and Participating

                                       10

<PAGE>

            Company Contribution Account among investment funds designated by
            the Committee and to make transfers among such funds. In no event
            shall a Participant's designated deemed investment in a fund be
            considered or construed in any manner, as an actual investment in
            any such fund, and in the event that the Committee, in its own
            discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the funds, no
            Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments
            themselves.

     4.05   Allocation of Accrued Earnings and Losses of Deemed Investments

            Solely as a device to measure amounts payable to Participants,
            former Participants, or beneficiaries hereunder, the Committee shall
            establish uniform and nondiscriminatory rules consistent with this
            Section to determine accrued income, gains and losses from the
            investments of Deferred Compensation Accounts and Participating
            Company Contribution Accounts deemed to be made pursuant to Section
            4.04 hereof to be allocated among Participant Account Balances. Any
            accrued earnings and losses shall be allocated and credited to a
            Participant's Deferred Compensation Account and Participating
            Company Contribution Account on a monthly basis.

                            DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

     5.01   In General

            The provisions of this Article 5 govern the distribution of amounts
            payable under this Plan. A Participant whose employment with the
            Participating Companies terminates for any reason shall be entitled
            to distribution of benefits pursuant to this Article, subject to the
            provisions of Article 7.

            The Company shall commence distribution of benefits beginning with
            the Distribution Date immediately following the Participant's
            termination of employment with the Related Companies for any reason
            (including retirement, death or Disability); provided, however that
                                                         --------  -------
            benefits shall be valued and paid pursuant to the provisions of

            shall be entitled to receive a distribution of the balance credited
            to his or her Deferred Compensation Account as of the Determination
            Date. Distribution of such deferred compensation benefits to a
            former Participant under this Plan may be made by the Company on
            behalf of the relevant Participating Company, or the Participating
            Company itself may distribute such benefits, as directed by the
            Committee in its sole discretion as follows:

            (a)  Termination of Employment.
                 -------------------------

                 In the event a Participant's employment terminates for any
                        reason, including (without limitation) death or
                        Disability, then the Participant's vested Account
                        Balance shall be paid to the Participant (and after the
                        Participant's death, to his or her beneficiary).
                        Payment shall be made in the form of a single lump sum
                        payment on the Distribution Date.

            (b)  Early Withdrawals.
                 -----------------

                 (i)   A Participant may elect in a Compensation Deferral
                       Agreement to withdraw all or any portion of the amount
                       deferred, including any earnings credited thereon,
                       pursuant to that Compensation Deferral Agreement as of a
                       date specified in the election. Such date shall not be
                       sooner than five (5) years after the date the
                       Compensation Deferral Period commences.

                 (ii)  Payment. The amount payable under subparagraph (i) shall
                       -------
                       be paid in a lump sum within ninety (90) days following
                       the beginning of the year in which the withdrawal was
                       elected to be made.

            (iii)    Acceleration of Distributions. A Participant may elect to
                     -----------------------------
                     receive a lump sum distribution of his or her entire vested
                     Account Balance at any time. However, any such election to
                     receive an early distribution shall be subject to a ten
                     percent (10%) penalty of the Participant's vested Account
                     Balance, which amount shall be deducted from the
                     distributed amounts and forfeited by the Participant. The
                     amount payable under this section shall be paid in a lump
                     sum within ninety (90) days following receipt of the
                     request and shall be charged to the Participant's Account
                     as a distribution. In addition, any unvested portion of the
                     Account Balance shall be permanently forfeited and the
                     Participant shall not be eligible to participate for the
                     remainder of the Plan Year and the next following Plan
                     Year.

 5.04  Committee Decision

       Any decision to be made under this Article 5 with respect to the
       distribution of benefits with respect to a Participant or former
       Participant under this Plan shall be made by the Committee, but such
       Participant shall exclude himself therefrom for purposes of those
       decisions if such Participant is a member of the Committee.

 5.05  Designation of Beneficiaries

       A Participant may elect to designate a beneficiary(ies) to receive any
       benefits payable under this Plan upon the Participant's death. In the
       event of a new beneficiary designation, all beneficiary designations
       previously filed shall be cancelled. No designation or change in
       designation of a beneficiary shall be effective until received and
       acknowledged in writing by the Committee or its designated agent. The
       Participant may change such designation from time to time and the last
       written designation delivered to the Committee prior to the Participant's
       death will control. If the Participant fails to specifically designate a
       beneficiary, or such designation is invalid, or if no designated
       beneficiary survives the Participant, or if all designated beneficiaries
       who survive the Participant die before all payments are made, then the
       remaining payments shall be made to the Participant's surviving spouse if
       such spouse is then living; if such spouse is not living, then to the
       executors or administrators of the estate of the Participant. If the
       Committee has any doubts as to the proper beneficiary to receive payment
       pursuant to this Plan, the Committee shall have the right, exercisable in
       its discretion to cause the Participating Companies to withhold such
       payments until the matter is resolved to the Committee's satisfaction.

                          FINANCING AND UNFUNDED STATUS

6.01     Costs Borne by the Company and any Participating Company

         The costs of the Plan shall be borne by the Participating Companies.

6.02     Unfunded Plan

         All benefits under the Plan shall be paid from the Company's general
         assets. Participants and their beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and
         assigns shall have no secured legal or equitable rights, interest or
         claims in or to any property or assets of the Company, nor shall they
         be beneficiaries of, or have any rights, claims or interests in any
         property or asset which may be acquired by the Company. The Company
         need not hold any assets in trust or as collateral security for the
         fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under this Plan. Any and
         all of the Company's assets and policies shall be, and remain, the
         general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company's
         obligation under the Plan shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured
         promise to pay money in the future, and the Participants shall have the
         status of general unsecured creditors of the Company.

6.03     Trust

         At its sole discretion, the Company may establish one (1) or more
         trusts, with such trustees as the Board may approve, for the purpose of
         providing for the payment of benefits owed under the Plan. Although
         such a trust may be irrevocable, its assets shall be held for payment
         of all the Company's general creditors in the event of the Company's
         insolvency. To the extent any benefits provided under the Plan are paid
         from any such trust, the Company shall have no further obligation to
         pay them. If not paid from any trust, such benefits shall remain the
         obligation of the Company.

6.04     Unfunded Status

         This Plan is intended to be unfunded for purposes of both ERISA and the
         Code.

     that is not vested when his or her employment with the Company and the
     Related Companies terminates shall be forfeited and treated as a
     Forfeiture. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
     all rights under this Plan of the Participant, his or her designated
     beneficiary or beneficiaries, executors, administrators, legal
     representatives, or any other person, to receive payments of amounts
     attributable to Participating Company Contributions (as described in
     Section 4.03) may be forfeited and the entire balance of a Participant's
     Participating Company Contribution Account (including the vested portion
     thereof) shall be forfeited and treated as a forfeiture if the Compensation
     Committee of the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that a
     Participant has engaged in Misconduct.

7.03 Treatment of Forfeitures

     Forfeitures that arise under this Plan shall be subtracted (deleted) from a
     Participant's Participating Company Contribution Account and a
     Participant's Account Balance and shall no longer be an obligation of any
     Company or Participating Company in any way.

                                 ADMINISTRATION

8.01 General Administration

     The Board shall appoint a Committee consisting of not less than three (3)
     persons to administer the Plan. Any member of the Committee may at any time
     be removed, with or without cause, and his or her successor appointed by
     the Board, and any vacancy caused by death, resignation or other reason
     shall be filled by the Board. The Committee shall be the plan administrator
     of the Plan and in general shall be responsible for the management and
     administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have full power and
     discretionary authority to administer the Plan in all of its details
     (including, without limitation, the discretionary authority to decide all
     claims for benefits and to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan),
     subject to applicable requirements of law. The Committee may approve
     amendments to the Plan, without prior approval or subsequent ratification
     by the Board, if the amendment: (i) does not significantly change the
     benefits provided under the Plan (except as required by a change in
     applicable law); (ii) does not significantly increase the costs of the
     Plan; or (iii) the amendment is intended either to enable the Plan to
     remain in compliance with the requirements of the Code, ERISA, or other
     applicable law, to facilitate administration of the Plan. A duly authorized
     officer of the Company shall execute the amendment, evidencing the
     Company's adoption of the amendment.

     No member of the Committee who is an employee of the Company or any
     Participating Company shall receive compensation for his or her services to
     the Plan. The Committee shall have such duties and powers as may be
     necessary to discharge its duties under this Plan. The fiscal records of
     the Plan shall be maintained on the basis of the Plan Year.

8.02 Committee Procedures

     The Committee may act at a meeting or in writing without a meeting. The
     Committee may adopt such by-laws and regulations, as it deems desirable for
     the conduct of its affairs. All decisions shall be made by majority vote.
     No member of the Committee who is at any time a Participant in this Plan
     shall vote in a decision of the Committee (whether in a meeting or by
     written action) made specifically and uniquely with respect to such member
     of the Committee or amount, payment, timing, form or other aspect of the
     benefits of such Committee member under this Plan.

8.03 Indemnification of Committee Members

     The Participating Companies shall indemnify and hold harmless each member
     of the Committee against any and all liability, claims, damages and expense
     (including all expenses reasonably incurred in such Committee member's
     defense in the event that the Company or any Participating Company fails to
     provide such defense upon such Committee member's written request) which
     the Committee member may incur while acting in good faith in the
     administration of the Plan.

                                CLAIM PROCEDURES

9.01 Presentation of Claim

     Any Participant or beneficiary of a deceased Participant (such Participant
     or beneficiary being referred to below as a "Claimant") may deliver to the
     Committee a written claim for a determination with respect to the amounts
     distributable to such Claimant from the Plan. The Committee shall have the
     discretionary authority to decide all claims for benefits and to construe
     and interpret the terms of the Plan.

9.02 Notification of Decision

     The Committee shall consider a Claimant's claim within a reasonable time,
     and shall notify the Claimant in writing:

     (a)  that the Claimant's requested determination has been made, and that
          the claim has been allowed in full; or

     (b)  that the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in
          part, to the Claimant's requested determination, and such notice must
          set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

          (i)   the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part
                of it;

          (ii)  specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon
                which such denial was based;

          (iii) a description of any additional material or information
                necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an
                explanation of why such material or information is necessary;
                and

          (iv)  an explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in
                Section 9.03 below.

9.03 Review of a Denied Claim

     Within sixty (60) days after receiving a notice from the Committee that a
     claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or the Claimant's
     duly authorized representative) may file with the Committee a written
     request for a review of the denial of the claim. Thereafter, but not later
     than sixty (60) days after the review procedure began, the Claimant (or the
     Claimant's duly authorized representative):

     (a)  may review pertinent documents;

     (b)  may submit written comments or other documents; and/or

     (c)  may request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion,
          may grant.

                                       17

<PAGE>

9.03 Decision on Review

     The Committee shall render it decision on review promptly, and not later
     than sixty (60) days after the filing of a written request for review of
     the denial, unless a hearing is held or other special circumstances require
     additional time, in which case the Committee's decision must be rendered
     within one hundred twenty (120) days after such date. Such decision must be
     written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it
     must contain:

     (a)  specific reason as for the decision;

     (b)  specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the
          decision was based; and

     (c)  such other matters as the Committee deems relevant.

9.04 Legal Action

     A Claimant's compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 9 is
     a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant's right to commence any legal action
     with respect to any claim for benefits under this Plan.

                        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

10.01 Amendment and Termination

      Generally, the Company shall have the right to amend or terminate the Plan
      by action of the Committee at any time. However, no such amendment or
      termination shall adversely affect a benefit to which a terminated or
      retired Participant or other beneficiary is entitled under Article 4 of
      the Plan to the date of such amendment or termination. A duly authorized
      officer of the Company shall execute the amendment, evidencing the
      Company's adoption of the amendment.

10.02 Termination of Participation by a Participating Company

      Although each Participating Company anticipates that it will continue in
      the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee that any
      Participating Company will continue its participation in the Plan.
      Accordingly, each Participating Company reserves the right to discontinue
      its participation or sponsorship of the Plan, and the Company reserves its
      right to terminate the Plan, at any time by appropriate action of its
      board of directors or duly appointed committee. Upon the termination of
      participation of any Participating Company (or upon termination of the
      Plan), the participation of the affected Participants shall terminate and
      his or her Account Balances shall be paid distributed in a lump sum as
      soon as practicable after such termination of participation or termination
      of the Plan.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.01 Limitation of Rights

      Neither the establishment of this Plan nor any amendment thereof, nor the
      payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to any Participant,
      beneficiary, or other person any legal or equitable right against the
      Company or any Participating Company, except as provided herein. Neither
      the establishment of this Plan nor any amendment thereof, nor the payment
      of benefits, nor any action taken with respect to this Plan shall confer
      upon any person the right to be continued in the employment of the
      Company, Participating Company or Related Company.

11.02 No Assignment or Alienation of Benefits

      The rights of a Participant, former Participant, beneficiary or any other
      person to payment of benefits under this Plan may not be assigned,
      transferred, anticipated, conveyed, pledged or encumbered except by will
      or the laws of descent or distribution; nor shall any such right be in any
      manner subject to levy, attachment, execution, garnishment or any other
      seizure under legal, equitable or other process for payment of any debts,
      judgments, alimony, or separate maintenance, or reached or transferred by
      operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise;
      provided, however, that a Participant shall have the right to designate in
      writing and in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.05 hereof
      primary and contingent beneficiaries to receive benefit payments
      subsequent to the death of the Participant.

11.03 Successors

      The provisions of this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
      of the Participating Companies, their successors and assigns, and each
      Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators and legal
      representatives.

11.04 Governing Law

      The provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted according
      to the internal laws of the State of Washington without regard to its
      conflicts of laws principles, to the extent such laws are not preempted by
      ERISA or other applicable federal law.

11.05 Entire Agreement

      This plan document together with any agreement or documents referred to
      herein represents the entire agreement between the Company, any
      Participating Company and any Participant in this Plan with respect to any
      interests in benefits payable under this Plan. This agreement supersedes
      any and all prior agreements between the Company and any Participant,
      whether such agreement or agreements were written or oral with respect

                                       20

<PAGE>

      to any interests in benefits payable under this Plan. Any amendment or
      modification to the terms of this Plan must be in writing and signed by an
      authorized officer of the Company. No Compensation Deferral Agreement
      shall in any way amend, alter or revise this Plan. In the event the terms
      of the Compensation Deferral Agreement or any other document or agreement
      or summary of this Plan conflict with the terms of the Plan as stated
      herein (or any amendments or supplements thereto), the terms of the Plan
      shall be controlling.

11.06 Unsecured General Creditor

      Participants and their beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns shall
      have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in any property or
      assets of a Company. For purposes of the payment of benefits under this
      Plan, any and all of a Company's assets shall be, and remain, the general,
      unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. A Company's obligation
      under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise
      to pay money in the future.

11.07 Participating Company's Liability

      A Participating Company's liability for the payment of benefits shall be
      defined only by the Plan and the Compensation Deferral Agreement (to the
      extent not inconsistent with the Plan), as entered into between the
      Participating Company and a Participant. A Participating Company shall
      have no obligation to a Participant under the Plan except as expressly
      provided in the Plan and his or her Compensation Deferral Agreement (to
      the extent not inconsistent with the Plan).

11.08 Not a Contract of Employment

      The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a
      contract of employment between any Participating Company and a
      Participant. Such employment is hereby acknowledged to be an "at will"
      employment relationship that can be terminated at any time for any reason,
      or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice, unless
      expressly provided in a written employment agreement. Nothing in this Plan
      shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the
      service of any Participating Company, either as an employee or consultant,
      or to interfere with the right of any Participating Company to discipline
      or discharge the Participant at any time.

11.09 Captions

      The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for
      convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or
      construction of any of its provisions.

11.10 Notice

      Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee
      under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or
      sent by registered or certified mail, to the address below:

                                       21

                                 Coinstar, Inc.
                              1800 114th Avenue SE
                               Bellevue, WA 98004

      Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if
      delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the
      receipt for registration or certification.

      Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant
      under this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or
      sent by mail, to the last known address of the Participant.

11.11 Validity

      In case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any
      reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts
      hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal
      or invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

11.12 Incompetent

      If the Committee determines in its discretion that a benefit under this
      Plan is to be paid to a minor, a person declared incompetent or to a
      person incapable of handling the disposition of that person's property,
      the Committee may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal
      representative or person having the care and custody of such minor,
      incompetent or incapable person, or the Committee may direct the payment
      of such benefit in such manner as the Committee considers advisable. Any
      payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Participant
      and the Participant's beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a
      complete discharge of any liability under the Plan for such payment
      amount.

      [I am inclined to delete this section because ERISA preempts state
      community property law, so a spouse never has a right to transfer any
      interest in the Plan.]

11.13 Furnishing Information

      A Participant or his or her beneficiary will cooperate with the Committee
      by furnishing any and all information requested by the Committee and take
      such other actions as may be requested in order to facilitate the
      administration of the Plan and the payments of benefits hereunder,
      including but not limited to taking such physical examinations as the
      Committee may deem necessary.

11.14 Court Order

      The Committee is authorized to make any payments directed by court order
      in any action in which the Plan or the Committee has been named as a
      party. In addition, if a court determines that a spouse or former spouse
      of a Participant has an interest in the Participant's benefits under the
      Plan in connection with a property settlement or otherwise, the Committee,
      in its sole discretion, shall have the right, notwithstanding any

                                       22

<PAGE>

      election made by a Participant, to immediately distribute the spouse's or
      former spouse's interest in the Participant's benefits under the Plan to
      that spouse or former spouse. Any such distribution shall reduce the
      Participant's Account Balance and benefit under the Plan and shall
      completely discharge the Committee and the Participating Companies for any
      liability with respect to the portion of the Participant's benefit
      distributed.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be duly executed for and
on behalf of the Company by its duly authorized officers on this the 21st day
of November, 2001.

$500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from
one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the
requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be
(which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be
borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to
which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of
the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a
Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made
as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in
effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans
in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be
deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

     (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans such
that each Lender has a reasonable time to perform, and if no timely notice of a
conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of each Borrowing, each
Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent
in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent's Office not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if
                                                       ------------
such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the
                                                ------------
Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower
in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting
the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of
such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided,
                                                                   --------
however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing there are L/C Borrowings
-------
outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the
                                                                   -----
payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, to the Borrower as
                                                ------
provided above.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be
requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the
consent of the Required Lenders.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar
Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the
Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of any change in Bank of America's prime rate used in determining the
Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

     (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from
one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there
shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.

     2.03 Letters of Credit.

     (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.
         -------------------------------

          (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C
     Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set
     forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day
                   ------------
     during the period from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, to issue
     Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, and to amend or renew
     Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection
     (b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the
     Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the
     account of the Borrower to the extent of each Lender's Revolving Pro Rata
     Share of Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer; provided, that (unless
                                                          --------
     the Borrower has Cash Collateralized such Letter of Credit), the L/C Issuer
     shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any
     Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any
     Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the
     Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving
     Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of
     any Lender, plus such Lender's Revolving Pro Rata Share of the
                 ----
     Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, would exceed such Lender's
     Revolving Commitment, or (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations
     would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits,
     and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower's ability to
     obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the
     Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to
     replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon
     and reimbursed.

          (ii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter
     of Credit if:

               (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority
          or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C
          Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to
          the L/C Issuer or any

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

          request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
          Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall
          prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of
          letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or
          shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit
          any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C
          Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the
          Document Preclosing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any
          unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the
          Document Preclosing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems
          material to it;

               (B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such
          requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after
          the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders have
          approved such expiry date;

               (C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would
          occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the
          Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

               (D) such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than $100,000,
          or is denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

          (iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter
     of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to
     issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or
     (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed
     amendment to such Letter of Credit.

     (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
         ----------------------------------------------------------
Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.
------------------------------

          (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may
     be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a
     copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
     Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of
     the Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and
     the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business
     Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a
     particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance
     date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for
     an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
     Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C
     Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit
     (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry
     date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the
     documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
     thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such
     beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters
     as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of
     any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
     specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of
     Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

     thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed
     amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.

          (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the
     L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
     writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter
     of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will
     provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the
     L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested
     issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof,
     then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on
     the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the
     Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in
     each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer's usual and customary business
     practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each
     Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
     agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter
     of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Revolving Pro
     Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
                -----

          (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
     Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree
     to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an
     "Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit"); provided, that any such Auto-Renewal
      ------------ ----------------    --------
     Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at
     least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of
     issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
     beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the "Nonrenewal Notice Date") in
                                                    ----------------------
     each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of
     Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower
     shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any
     such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the
     Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C
     Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date
     not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however,
                                                          --------  -------
     that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the L/C Issuer
     would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its
     renewed form under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which
     may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is two
     Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative
     Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or
     (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or
     more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then
                                                    ------------
     satisfied.

          (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any
     amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or
     to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the
     Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such
     Letter of Credit or amendment.

                                      -25-

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
         ------------------------------------------------------

          (i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall
     notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than
     11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of
     Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Borrower shall reimburse the
                                 ----------
     L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the
     amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C
     Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
     Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the
     "Unreimbursed Amount"), and such Lender's Revolving Pro Rata Share thereof.
      -------------------
     In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving
     Loan that is a Base Rate Loan be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount
     equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and
     multiples specified in Section 2.02(a) for the principal amount of Base
                            ---------------
     Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
     Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section
                                                                     -------
     4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the
     ----
     L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)
                                                             ------------------
     may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
                                                                    --------
     that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
     conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

          (ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall
     upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the
                                 ------------------
     Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the
     Administrative Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Revolving Pro Rata
     Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business
     Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent such that each
     Lender has a reasonable time to perform, whereupon, subject to the
     provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds
                   --------------------
     available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in
     such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to
     the L/C Issuer.

          (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully
     refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set
     forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the
              ------------
     Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C
     Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so
     refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand
     (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In
     such event, each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed
                                           -------------------
     payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
     constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
     participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
                                         ------------

          (iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance
     pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount
                      ---------------
     drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's
     Revolving Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of
     the L/C Issuer.

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

          (v) Each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances
     to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as
     contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional
                          ---------------
     and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off,
     counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
     against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason
     whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any
     other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
     foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender's obligation to make
                --------  -------
     Revolving Loans or L/C Advances pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject
                                                      ---------------
     to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. Any such reimbursement shall
                                    ------------
     not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse
     the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under
     any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

          (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent
     for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such
     Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the
                                                         ---------------
     time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to
                       -------------------
     recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on
     demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
     payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
     available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
     Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted
     to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
     amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest
     error.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.
         ---------------------------

          (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any
     Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender's L/C Advance
     in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the
                                                   ---------------
     Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment
     related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or
     otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the
     Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the
     Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Pro Rata
     Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative
     Agent.

          (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the
     account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be
                                           ------------------
     returned, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
     of the L/C Issuer its Revolving Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the
     Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
     the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal
     to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
         --------------------
L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C
Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is refinanced by a
Borrowing of Revolving Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable,
and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under
all circumstances, including the following:

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit,
     this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

          (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or
     other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary
     or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
     beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any
     other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
     contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or
     instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

          (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under
     such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
     insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
     inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or
     otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
     Letter of Credit;

          (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
     presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with
     the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer
     under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in
     bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
     liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
     beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any
     arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

          (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
     similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that
     might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the
     Borrower.

     The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and
each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying
         ------------------
any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. No Agent-Related Person
nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C
Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the
Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related
to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby
assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with
respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this
                                            --------  -------
assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower's

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Agent-Related Person, nor any
of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer,
shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i)
through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses
               ---------------  --------  -------
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C
Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but
only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary,
damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the
L/C Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the
beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights
or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove
to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

     (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if the
         ---------------
L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of
Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, the Borrower shall
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the
date of such L/C Borrowing. Additionally, if 7 days prior to the Maturity Date,
any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or
wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such Outstanding
Amount determined as of the date 7 days prior to the Maturity Date. For purposes
hereof, "Cash Collateralize" means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the
         ------------------
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as
collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to
documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and
the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders).
Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders,
a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein
and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash collateral shall be maintained in
blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.

     (h) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C
         ----------------------
Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the
"International Standby Practices 1998" published by the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in
effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

     (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
         ---------------------
Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Pro Rata
Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable
Rate times the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each
     -----
such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect
under such Letter of Credit); provided that, after the occurrence and during the
                              --------
continuance of an Event of Default, the applicable fee rate on such Letters of
Credit shall be the Applicable Rate for such Letter of Credit plus 2% per annum.
                                                              ----
Such letter of credit fees shall be

                                      -29-

<PAGE>

due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. If there is
any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount
of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in
effect.

     (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C
         ------------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a
------
fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit equal to the (0.075%) times
                                                                         -----
the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of
Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter
of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly
to the L/C Issuer for its own account the individual customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and
charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in
effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are
nonrefundable.

     (k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any
         ------------------------------------------
conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit
Application, the terms hereof shall control.

     2.04 Prepayments.

     (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
         ---------------------
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans
in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice
                                                --------
must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three
Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (B)
on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment
and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of
a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon,
together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each
                                                          ------------
such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Pro Rata Shares.

     (b) Mandatory Prepayments. In addition to the scheduled amortization
         ---------------------
payments required pursuant to Section 2.06, Borrower shall have the following
                              ------------
mandatory prepayment obligations:

          (i) If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time
     exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower
     shall immediately

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

     prepay Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an
     aggregate amount equal to such excess.

          (ii) Borrower shall immediately prepay an amount of principal with
     respect to the Term Loans equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of all
     asset sales by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including sales of stock of
     subsidiaries), not reinvested in the Borrower's business within 180 days
     after the receipt thereof; provided, that no prepayment will be required in
                                --------
     connection with the first $1,000,000 of Net Cash Proceeds from asset sales
     during the term of this Agreement.

          (iii) Borrower shall immediately make additional Term Loan prepayments
     to the extent required by Section 7.06(d) in connection with any election
                               ---------------
     by Borrower to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire shares of its capital
     stock or warrants, rights or options to acquire any such shares.

     Each of the Term Loan prepayment pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(ii) or (iii)
                                                  -------------------    -----
shall be (x) applied across the remaining principal installments required
pursuant to Section 2.06(b) on a pro rata basis, and (y) be accompanied by
            ---------------
accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and
amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.05 or any other
                                                 ------------
provision of this Agreement as a result of such prepayment being made on such
date.

     2.05 Reduction or Termination of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice
to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or
permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments to an amount not less
than the then Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations;
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent
--------
not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or
reduction, and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount
of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of
reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Once reduced in
accordance with this Section, the Aggregate Revolving Commitments may not be
increased. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied
to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its Revolving Pro Rata
Share. All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination
of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of
such termination.

     2.06 Repayment of Loans.

     (a) On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders based on each Lender's Pro Rata Share the
aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date.

     (b) The Borrower shall repay the Term Loans to the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Lenders based on each Lender's Term Pro Rata Share principal
repayments with respect to the Term Loan in eleven installments with the first
such repayment being made on the last Business Day in September of 2002, and an
additional installment being paid on the last Business Day in each March, June,
September and December thereafter. The principal

                                      -31-

<PAGE>

repayments to be paid under this Section 2.06(b) shall be in the following
                                 --------------
amounts: the first payment shall be $2,666,666, the next two shall be $2,666,667
each, the next four shall be $3,750,000 each, and the last four shall be
$4,250,000 each.

     2.07 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for
each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall
                ----
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
                                                          ----
Rate.

     (b) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not
paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), such amount
shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law. Furthermore, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, the
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding
Obligations at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and
unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest)
shall be due and payable upon demand.

     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with
the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

     2.08 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j)
of Section 2.03:
   ------------

     (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
         --------------
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Pro Rata Share, a
commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by
                                            -----
which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding
Amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations.
The commitment fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The
commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any
change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall
be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period
during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. The commitment fee
shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met.
                                              ----------

     (b) Other Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the
         ----------
Administrative Agent fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable
for any reason whatsoever.

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

          (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have
     been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so
     specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be
     refundable.

     2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of all types of interest
and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the
actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the payee
thereof than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue
on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a
Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is
paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made
      --------
shall bear interest for one day.

     2.10 Evidence of Debt.

     (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative
Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower
and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or L/C
Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any
Lender made through the Administrative Agent, such Lender's Loans may be
evidenced by a Note in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may
attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable),
amount and maturity of the applicable Loans and payments with respect thereto.

     (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a),
each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such
Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict
between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the
accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error.

     2.11 Payments Generally.

     (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition
or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder
shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective
Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent's Office in
Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date
specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each
Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such
payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending
Office. All payments received by

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to
accrue.

     (b) Subject to the definition of "Interest Period," if any payment to be
made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

     (c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first,
                                                                      -----
toward costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under
Article III) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, (ii) second,
-----------                                                             ------
toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees
then due to such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal and L/C
                                    -----
Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such
parties.

     (d) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent
prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative
Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such
Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not
be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount
to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not
in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

          (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall
     forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such
     assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately
     available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from
     and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative
     Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the
     Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, at the Federal Funds
     Rate from time to time in effect; and

          (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall
     forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in
     immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period
     from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to
     the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative
     Agent (the "Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
                 -------------------
     Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to
     the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's
     Loan, as the case may be, included in the applicable Borrowing. If such
     Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's
     demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon
     the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative
     Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate
     per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable
     Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its

                                      -34-

<PAGE>

     obligation to fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the
     Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a
     result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

     A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.

     (e) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any
Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, and the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
----------
Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
----------
Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received
from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

     (f) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund
participations in Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The failure of
any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

     (g) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the
funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner.

     2.12 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere
herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its
ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall
immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such
subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations, as the case may be,
as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro
rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
                        --------  -------
excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase
shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the
purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount
equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i)
the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.
The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09 with
                                                        -------------
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative
Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of
manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each
case promptly notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.
Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from
and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands,
directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to

the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the

                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.01 Taxes.

     (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar
charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the
                                                   ---------
Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its
overall net income or gross income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu
of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof)
under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be, is organized or maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar
charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the
                                                           -----
Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of
any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days
after the date of such payment, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative
Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified
copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

     (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future
stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or
charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan
Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter
referred to as "Other Taxes").
                -----------

     (c) If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the
Administrative Agent or to such Lender, as the case may be, at the time interest
is paid, such additional amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender
specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all
taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) the Administrative
Agent or such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not
been imposed.

     (d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (ii) amounts
payable under Section 3.01(c) and (iii) any liability
              ---------------

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

(including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after
the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.

     3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund
Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through
the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on
the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate
a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such
notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be
materially disadvantageous to such Lender. If Eurodollar Rate Loans have been
unavailable pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.02 and such Eurodollar Rate
                                          ------------
Loans again become available to Borrower because the circumstance(s) giving rise
to such unavailability has terminated, then the Lender who gave the original
notice that Eurodollar Rate Loans became unavailable shall be required to
promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent that Eurodollar Rate Loans are
again available.

     3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that
for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Base Rate Loan or Eurodollar Rate Loan (as applicable), or that the
Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate Loan (as applicable) does not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of
the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the
amount specified therein.

     3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on
Eurodollar Rate Loans.

     (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any Law, or such Lender's compliance
therewith, there shall be any

                                      -37-

<PAGE>

increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or
maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or
participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or
receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for
purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount
resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern),
                                                     ------------
(ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross
income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political
subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized
or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by
Section 3.04(c)) then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy
----------------
of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased
cost or reduction.

     (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding
capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or
compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of
reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder
(taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and
such Lender's desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of
such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such reduction.

     (c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be
required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting
of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "Eurocurrency
liabilities"), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to
such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have
                                           --------
received at least 15 days' prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give
notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional
interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

     3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate
such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense
(including Attorney Costs) incurred by it as a result of:

     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise); or

     (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of
such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan
other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the
Borrower.

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or
from fees payable to terminate

                                      -38-

<PAGE>

the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay
any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the
foregoing.

     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders
under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
           ------------
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a
matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market
for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

     3.06 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. A certificate of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article
                                                                        -------
III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
---
hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining
such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods.

     3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower's obligations under this Article III
                                                                 -----------
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all
other Obligations.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS

                              ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

     (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and
perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,
the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with
reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary
or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom,
and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties, provided nothing in this Section shall cause
the Administrative Agent not to be an "agent" for purposes of perfecting a
security interests of each Lender and the L/C Issuer.

                                      -63-

<PAGE>

     (b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the
L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the
Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or
                             ----------
omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued
by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for
letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term
"Administrative Agent" as used in this Article IX included the L/C Issuer with
                                       ----------
respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with
respect to the L/C Issuer.

     9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents,
employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and
other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     9.03 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a)
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct
in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible
in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof,
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of
any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any
obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

     9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

     (a) Absent gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent in its reliance, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature,
resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan
Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing
to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if required hereunder, all
directly-affected Lenders) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, 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

                                      -64-

<PAGE>

Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a
request or consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, if required
hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and participants.

     (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in
Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have
------------
consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or
other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable
or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from such Lender specifying its objection thereto prior to the proposed
Document Preclosing Date or Closing Date as applicable.

     9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect
to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default." The Administrative Agent will notify the
Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required
Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and
                           ------------  --------  -------
until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem
advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

     9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any
representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent
hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person
to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have
disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to
the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all
applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and
to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make
such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial

                                      -65-

<PAGE>

and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any
Agent-Related Person.

     9.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify
upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on
behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party
to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and
against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however,
                                                            --------  -------
that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of
any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final,
nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Agent-Related Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct;
provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the
--------  -------
Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Agent Related Person for purposes of this Section. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative
Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection
with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or
referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in
this Section shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment
of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

     9.08 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of America and
its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of,
accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any
kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with
each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of
America were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer hereunder and
without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that,
pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive
information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information
that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party
or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under
no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans,
Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as
any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not
the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders"
include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

     9.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders; provided that any such
                                                          --------
resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation as L/C
Issuer. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required
Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent
for the Lenders which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by
the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default
(which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of
the resignation of the

                                      -66-

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting
with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among
the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative
agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent and L/C Issuer and the respective terms "Administrative Agent" and "L/C
Issuer" shall mean such successor administrative agent, Letter of Credit issuer,
and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated and the retiring L/C Issuer's rights,
powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act
or deed on the part of such retiring L/C Issuer or any other Lender, other than
the obligation of the successor L/C Issuer to issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer
to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to
such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and
                                                          ----------
Sections 10.04 and 10.05 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. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as
Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring
Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as
provided for above.

     9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal
of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed
or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.08 and 10.04)
                                   ----------------     ---  ----     -----
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

     (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent

                                      -67-

<PAGE>

and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.08 and 10.04.
      -------------     -----

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

     9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the

recording.

     10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising,
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver

prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including
any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened
claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified
                                                                     -----------
Liabilities"), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in

part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity
                                               --------
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any
information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall
any Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its

other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable
                                                      -----

     10.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the
Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such
payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative

or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all
or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes

remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Revolving Commitment and Loans at the
time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of
a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (g) of this Section) with
respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for
this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or other Loans subject to

with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
"Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade

proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Revolving Commitment assigned;

itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as
an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with
a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section,

the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
                                                                       --------
3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances
----  ----  ----  -----     -----
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the
Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a new Note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(the "Register"). Absent manifest error the entries in the Register shall be
      --------
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof

Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other
than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or
Subsidiaries (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights
                       -----------
and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its

                               --------
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
           --------
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01
                                                               -------------
that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the

under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
      ------------    ----
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower
                                                ------------
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 10.15 as though
                                                        -------------
it were a Lender.

make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall
                                 --------
constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects
not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such
Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the
terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any
SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or
expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under
this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall
                                                ------------
be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement
for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all
purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification
of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.
The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Commitment
of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by
such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that,
prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not
institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but
without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or any portion of its right to
receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender

                                      -75-

and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to
its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider
of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

     (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender
that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans
owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of
obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such
obligations or securities, provided that unless and until such trustee actually
                           --------
becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07,
                                                                 -------------
(i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations
under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise
any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee
may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through
foreclosure or otherwise.

     (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any
time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to
subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days' notice to the Borrower
and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as
L/C Issuer the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders
(with such appointed Lender's consent) a successor L/C Issuer hereunder;
provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor
--------  -------
shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer. Bank of America
shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with
respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its
resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto
(including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).
                                                   ---------------

     10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates'
directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested
by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party
to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder
or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement
of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of
or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in,
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or
indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such
contractual counterparty's or prospective counterparty's professional advisor)
to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan
Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; or (i) to the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar
organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about a Lender's or its Affiliates' investment portfolio in
connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its

                                      -76-

<PAGE>

Affiliates. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose
the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market
data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service
providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the
administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section,
"Information" means all information received from the Loan Parties relating to
 -----------
the Loan Parties or their businesses, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis
prior to disclosure by any Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information
                                       --------
received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if
such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

     10.09 Control of Deposit Accounts; Set-off.

     (a) The Parties to this Agreement hereby agree that upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender shall comply with
the instructions of the Administrative Agent with respect to directing the
disposition of Borrower's funds in any deposit account held by such Lender
without requiring any further consent from or notice to any Loan Party or
Lender. Additionally, each Lender hereby waives any present or future recoupment
and setoff rights that are unrelated to activity in a deposit account of
Borrower, except for the rights of the Administrative Agent to recoup or setoff
funds for the satisfaction of the Obligations. For purposes of clarity, the
Parties acknowledge that the Lender's recoupment and setoff rights for unpaid
items, returned items and bank charges are "related activity in a deposit
account" and are therefore not waived by the foregoing provision.

     (b) Subject to the foregoing waiver, in addition to any rights and remedies
of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to
time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such
notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each
Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any
time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for
the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all
Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of
whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations
may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that
of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application
made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice
                     --------  -------
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

     10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the "Maximum
                                  -------

                                      -77-

<PAGE>

Rate"). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an
----
amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to
the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such
Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any
payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than
interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total
amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.

     10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     10.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject
matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral,
on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of
this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or
                         --------
remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan
Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document
was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and
shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in
accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

     10.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid
or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

     10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

     10.15 Tax Forms.

     (a) Each Lender that is not a "United States person" within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") shall deliver to the
                                    --------------
Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding
under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly
signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto
(relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or
reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender
by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor
thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax. Thereafter and from time
to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (i) promptly submit to the
Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of
such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the
relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then
current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available
exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of
all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement, (ii) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in
circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction, and (iii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous
to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably
necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any
requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or
withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender.

     Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its
own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such
Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical
participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the
date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to
any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be
necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable
exercise of its discretion), (i) two duly signed completed copies of the forms
or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to
establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which
such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding
tax, and (ii) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any
successor forms), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit
with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required
under the Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account
with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

     The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any
Foreign Lender under Section 3.01 (i) with respect to any Taxes required to be
                     ------------
deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements
of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this
Section 10.15(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the
----------------  --------
requirement of this Section 10.15(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or
                    ----------------
ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the
Loan Documents,

                                      -79-

<PAGE>

nothing in this Section 10.15(a) shall relieve the Borrower of it obligation to
                ----------------
pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any
                            ------------
change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order,
or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such
Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other
evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other
Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any
of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding
at a reduced rate as described in Section 3.01. The Administrative Agent may,
                                  ------------
without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from
any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the Borrower
is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 10.15(a).
                                                     ----------------

     (b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a
"United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of
IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an
amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code,
without reduction.

     (c) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did
not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other
amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and
interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including
Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under
this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments,
repayment of all Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

     10.16 Governing Law.

itself, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders referred to below.

                                  INTRODUCTION

     A. This Guaranty is given in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as
of April 18, 2002 (as amended, restated, modified, or supplemented from time to
time, the "Credit Agreement"), among Coinstar Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Borrower"), each lender from time to time party thereto (each a "Lender" and
collectively, the "Lenders"), and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent
for the Lenders (the "Administrative Agent") and L/C Issuer.

     B. The Borrower is the principal financing entity for all capital
requirements of its Subsidiaries, and from time to time the Borrower has made
capital contributions and advances to its Subsidiaries, including each of the
Guarantors. Each Guarantor is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower and will
derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

     C. Under the Credit Agreement, it is a condition to the making of the Loans
by the Lenders and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the L/C Issuer that
each of the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

     Therefore, in order to induce the Lenders to make the Loans and the L/C
Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with
Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer as follows:

Agreements, and any other Loan Document, whether for principal, Unreimbursed
Amounts, obligations under any Rate Hedging Agreements, interest (including

incurred by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any Lender in enforcing

liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 3. Limit of Liability. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall
           ------------------
be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not

state law.

Section 4. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed
           -----------------

Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation, or
order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms
or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or the Lenders with
respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be
absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

          (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other
Guaranty, for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

available to, or a discharge of the Borrower or a Guarantor.

certificates of title and applications therefor, and such other documents and
agreements as the Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect and
preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereunder.

          (e) The powers conferred upon the Secured Party under this Agreement
are solely to protect the Secured Party's rights under this Agreement and shall
not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except as elsewhere

connection therewith, the Secured Party may sell any Collateral at public or

credit and upon such other terms as the Secured Party deems commercially
reasonable. The Secured Party may sell any Collateral at one or more sales, and
the security interest granted hereunder shall remain in effect as to the unsold
portion of the Collateral. Each Debtor agrees that to the extent permitted by
law, such sales may be made without notice. If notice is required by law, each
Debtor hereby deems ten days advance notice of the time and place of any public
or private sale reasonable notification, recognizing that if any portion of the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market, shorter notice may be reasonable.
The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn
any sale by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
adjourned. In the event that any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective
in the opinion of the Secured Party, the Secured Party shall have the right to
cause subsequent sales to be made hereunder. Any statements of fact or other
recitals made in any bill of sale, assignment, or other document representing
any sale hereunder, including statements relating to the occurrence of an Event
of Default, acceleration of the Secured Obligations, notice of the sale, the
time, place, and terms of the sale, and other actions taken by the Secured Party
in relation to the sale may be conclusively relied upon by the purchaser at any
sale hereunder. The Secured Party may delegate to any agent the performance of
any acts in connection with any sale hereunder, including the sending of notices
and the conduct of the sale.

payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the termination of any
commitments of the Secured Party to any Debtor shall be paid over to such Debtor

providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption, and
such Debtor hereby waives and releases the same, and all rights to a marshaling
of the assets of such Debtor, including the Collateral of such Debtor, or to a
sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and
security interests hereby created. Such Debtor shall not assert any right under
any law pertaining to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of
alienation, the administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever
to defeat, reduce, or affect the right of the Secured Party under the terms of
this Agreement.

     4.5 Remedies Cumulative. The Secured Party's remedies under this Agreement

     7.4  Default and Remedies
          --------------------

          (a) During the existence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party may
establish Collateral Accounts for the purpose of collecting the Receivables of
such Debtor and holding the proceeds thereof, and may direct such Debtor to
instruct all account debtors and obligors on the Receivables of such Debtor to
make all payments on such Receivables directly to the Secured Party for deposit
into such Collateral Account. After such direction to such Debtor and until such
direction has been rescinded, all collections and proceeds of the Receivables of
such Debtor shall be directed to such Collateral Accounts. All proceeds of the
Receivables of such Debtor that may from time to time come into the possession
of such Debtor shall be held in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from the
other funds of such Debtor, and delivered immediately to the Secured Party in
the form received with any necessary endorsement for deposit into such
Collateral Account, such delivery in no event to be later than one Business Day
after receipt thereof by such Debtor. In addition, such Debtor shall not adjust,
settle, or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable of such Debtor,
release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor for any Receivable of
such Debtor, or allow any credit or discount on any Receivable of such Debtor,
without the advance written consent of the Secured Party.

          (b) In connection with the foregoing, the Secured Party shall have the
right at any time during the existence of an Event of Default to take any of the
following actions, in the Secured Party's own name or in the name of such
Debtor: change the accounts that shall be the Collateral Accounts for the
Receivables of such Debtor; compromise or extend the time for payment of the
Receivables of such Debtor upon such terms as the Secured Party may determine;
endorse the name of such Debtor on checks, instruments, or other evidences of
payment on the Receivables of such Debtor; make written or verbal requests for
verification of amount owing on the Receivables of such Debtor from any Persons
which the Secured Party believes are account debtors or obligors on the
Receivables of such Debtor; open mail addressed to such Debtor and, to the
extent of checks or other proceeds of the Receivables of such Debtor, dispose of
same in

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

accordance with this Agreement; take action in the Secured Party's name or such
Debtor's name to enforce collection; and take all other action necessary to
carry out this Agreement and give effect to the Secured Party's rights
hereunder. Reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in
collection and enforcement of the Receivables of such Debtor, including
attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket expenses, shall be reimbursed by such Debtor
to the Secured Party on demand.

Section 8. Intellectual Property. Each Debtor represents and warrants to and
           ---------------------
agrees with the Secured Party as follows:

     8.1 Ownership. All Intellectual Property is subsisting and has not been
         ---------
adjudged invalid or unenforceable. To the best of Debtor's knowledge, all of the
Intellectual Property is valid and enforceable. No claim has been made that the
use of any of the Intellectual Property does or may violate the rights of any
third person. The Debtor has used, and will continue to use, proper statutory
notice in connection with its use of the Intellectual Property and consistent
standards of quality in its manufacture of products sold under the Intellectual
Property.

     8.2  Perfection.
          ----------

          (a) Debtor shall not take any action, or permit any action to be taken
by others, including licensees, or fail to take any action or permit any other
to fail to take any action if such action or failure to act could reasonably be
expected to cause an event, occurrence or condition which could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse change on (i) the business, operations, or
financial condition of the Debtor or (ii) the Debtor's ability to perform its
obligations under the Loan Documents.

          (b) Whenever any of the Intellectual Property is used by or on behalf
of the Debtor in a country where affixing a trademark notice is mandatory, the
Debtor shall affix or cause to be affixed a notice that the mark is a trademark,
a service mark or is registered, which notice shall be in a form accepted or
required by the trademark marking laws of each country in which the mark is so
used.

          (c) If requested by the Secured Party, the Debtor shall take all
reasonable and necessary steps to prosecute any trademark applications with
respect to the Intellectual Property pending as of the date of this Agreement or
thereafter to make federal application on registrable but unregistered
Intellectual Property, to file and prosecute opposition and cancellation
proceedings, to maintain a suit to stop any infringement or any other suit,
action or proceedings brought against the Debtor relating to, concerned with or
affecting the Intellectual Property and to do any and all material acts which
are reasonably necessary or desirable to preserve and maintain all rights in the
Intellectual Property. Upon the Secured Party's request, the Debtor shall
provide the Secured Party with a complete status report of all Intellectual
Property and upon request by the Secured Party, the Debtor shall deliver to the
Secured Party, copies of any such Intellectual Property and other documents
concerned with or related to the prosecution, protection, maintenance,
enforcement and issuance of the Intellectual Property.

     8.3 Default and Remedies. During the existence of an Event of Default, the
         --------------------
Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party an exclusive, nontransferable right
and license in the Intellectual Property, such license including but not limited
to use of the Intellectual Property on and in connection with products sold by
the Debtor, the Secured Party or other authorized parties, wherein all such use
by any party shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party.

Ownership.
---------
          As of the date of this Agreement, each issuer of any Pledged

shown on Schedule I. The Pledged Securities constitute the percentages reflected
         ----------
on Schedule I of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each
   ----------
issuer thereof.

          The Debtor has good and indefeasible title to the Collateral free from

<PAGE>

          The shares of stock representing the Pledged Securities are duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

          The Debtor has the right to vote, pledge, and grant a security
interest in or otherwise transfer the Collateral free of any Liens, except for
Permitted Liens.

          The pledge of the Collateral does not violate (i) the articles or
bylaws of the issuers of the Collateral, or any indenture, mortgage, bank loan,
or credit agreement to which the Debtor is a party or by which any of its
respective properties or assets may be bound, or (ii) any restriction on such
transfer or encumbrance of the Collateral.

          No effective pledge or other transfer regarding the Pledged Securities
is in effect. No recorded financing statement or similar recording or filing
covering any part of the Collateral is in effect or on file in any recording
office, except those filed in connection with this Agreement. There are no
restrictions upon the voting rights associated with, or upon the transfer of,

not occurred, is required either (i) for the pledge by the Debtor of the
Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery, or
performance of this Agreement by the Debtor (except to the extent that financing
statements may be required under the UCC to be filed in order to maintain a
perfected security interest in the Collateral) or (ii) for the exercise by the
Secured Party of the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or
the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement (except as
may be required in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the
offering and sale of securities generally).

          The Debtor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Secured
Party, grant any lien, security interest, assignment, option, restriction,
claim, or other encumbrance on or against the Collateral, or lease, sell,
assign, or otherwise transfer any of its rights in the Collateral, except (a) as
permitted under the Credit Agreement, or (b) to the Secured Party pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.

are correctly described in the definition of "Pledged Securities" and have been
delivered to the Secured Party in a form suitable for transfer by delivery, or
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all
in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, and Debtor shall
deliver to the Secured Party in such manner all certificates and instruments
representing the Pledged Securities acquired by the Debtor after the date of
this Agreement. The Debtor waives any provision of the organizational documents
applicable to the Pledged Securities prohibiting or otherwise restricting the
grant of the security interest hereunder. No other authorization, approval, or
other action is necessary to perfect such security interests granted or
purported to be granted hereunder, to allow the Debtor to perform its
obligations hereunder, or to permit the Secured Party to exercise its rights and
remedies hereunder (except as may be required in connection with such
disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of

                                      -38-

<PAGE>

securities generally), except for those that have been obtained, and no consent
of any Person is required for the pledge by the Debtor of the Collateral pledged
hereunder.

          As of the date of this Agreement, the true and correct name of the
Debtor as listed on the Debtor's certificate of incorporation is the name
specified for the Debtor on the signature pages of this Agreement. The Debtor
has had no prior names other than those listed for the Debtor on the attached
Schedule II. The Debtor has not used and does not use any trade names other than
-----------
those listed on the attached Schedule II. As of the date of this Agreement, the
                             -----------
Debtor is organized under the laws of the State of Organization. Without advance
written notice to the Secured Party and reasonable opportunity for the Secured
Party to take action to protect the Secured Party's interests hereunder, the
Debtor shall not change its name, reincorporate or otherwise reorganize, or
change the jurisdiction of organization of the Debtor from the State of
Organization.

          A carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Agreement shall
be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in any appropriate
office in lieu thereof.

          Upon the filing of financing statements in the jurisdictions set forth
on the attached Schedule II, the security interests granted to the Secured Party
                -----------
hereunder will constitute valid first-priority perfected security interests in
all Collateral with respect to which a security interest can be perfected by the
filing of a financing statement.

Priority.
--------
          The security interest created by this Agreement is first priority, and
the Debtor shall preserve and maintain the status of such security interest to
the end that the security interest of the Secured Party shall remain a first
priority security interest in the Collateral.

          If the proceeds of the Secured Obligations are used to pay any
indebtedness secured by prior liens, the Secured Party is subrogated to all of
the rights and liens of the holders of such indebtedness.

Use and Condition.
-----------------
          The Debtor agrees that it will cause each issuer of any Pledged
Securities not to issue any stock or other securities in addition to or in
substitution for the Pledged Securities existing as of the date hereof that are
listed on Schedule I.
          ----------

          Debtor agrees that it shall not (i) sell, assign, or otherwise dispose
of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, except as
permitted by the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien
upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for Permitted Liens.

          Any (i) non-cash dividends, instruments, documents, chattel paper, and
other property received or otherwise distributed in respect of or in
substitution for any Pledged Securities; (ii) cash dividends and other
distributions in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution
of an issuer of any Pledged Securities or in connection with a reduction of
capital, capital surplus, or paid-in-surplus of an issuer of any Pledged
Securities; and (iii) cash distributed in respect of a redemption of principal
of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Securities, shall be promptly delivered to
the Secured Party for disposition and shall, if received by the

                                      -39-

<PAGE>

Debtor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, be segregated
from the other property or funds of the Debtor, and be promptly delivered to the
Secured Party as Collateral in the same form as so received, with any necessary
endorsement.

          Notwithstanding the pledge in Section 2.1, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtor shall be entitled to
receive and retain any and all cash dividends distributed in respect of the
Pledged Securities and to exercise any voting and other consensual rights
pertaining to the Pledged Securities for any purpose not inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement; provided, that the Debtor shall not exercise or shall
refrain from exercising any such right if, in the Secured Party's judgment, such
action would have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Pledged
Securities. The Secured Party shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed
and delivered) to the Debtor all proxies and other instruments that the Debtor
may reasonably request to enable the Debtor to exercise the voting and other
rights which it is entitled to exercise hereunder and to receive the dividends
or interest payments which it is authorized to receive and retain hereunder.

Further Assurances.
------------------
          The Debtor agrees that at any time, and at the expense of the Debtor,
the Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments,
agreements, and other related documents, and take all further action that may be
necessary or that the Secured Party may reasonably request in order to further
evidence the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereunder and
perfect and protect the same or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Debtor shall (i) mark conspicuously any tangible Collateral with a legend, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, indicating that such
Collateral is subject to the security interest granted or purported to the
granted hereunder, and (ii) execute stock powers, pledge registration requests,
financing statements, amendments and continuations of financing statements, and
such other documents and agreements as the Secured Party may reasonably request
in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to
be granted hereunder. The Debtor shall furnish to the Secured Party from time to
time any statements and schedules further identifying and describing any of the
Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the
Secured Party may reasonably request.

          If, during the term of this Agreement, (i) any stock dividend,
reclassification, readjustment, or other change is declared or made in the
capital structure of any of the issuers of the Pledged Securities, or any option
included with the Collateral is exercised, or both, or (ii) any subscription
warrants or any other rights or options shall be issued in connection with the
Collateral, then all new, substituted, and additional certificates, shares,
warrants, rights, options or other securities, issued by reason of any of the
foregoing, shall be immediately delivered to and held by the Secured Party and
shall constitute Collateral hereunder.

          During the existence of an Event of Default, the Debtor agrees that,
if the Debtor fails to perform under this Agreement, the Secured Party may, but
shall not be obligated to, perform the Debtor's obligations under this Agreement
and any reasonable expenses incurred by the Secured Party in performing the
Debtor's obligations shall be paid by the Debtor. Any such performance by the
Secured Party may be made by the Secured Party in reasonable reliance on any
statement, invoice, or claim, without inquiry into the validity or accuracy
thereof. The

                                      -40-

<PAGE>

amount and nature of any expense of the Secured Party hereunder shall be
established conclusively by a certificate of any officer of the Secured Party.

          The Debtor irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as the Debtor's
attorney in fact, with full authority to act during the existence of an Event of
Default for the Debtor and in the name of the Debtor, to take any action and
execute any agreement which the Secured Party deems necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including taking actions the Secured
Party is expressly authorized to take pursuant to this Agreement (such as the
matters described in paragraph (c) above), instituting proceedings the Secured
Party deems necessary or desirable to enforce the rights of the Secured Party
with respect to this Agreement, and taking actions with respect to receiving,
endorsing, and collecting instruments made payable to the Debtor representing
any dividend, interest payment, or other distribution in respect of the Pledged
Securities and giving full discharge for the same.

          The powers conferred on the Secured Party under this Agreement are
solely to protect its rights under this Agreement and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except as elsewhere provided hereunder, the
Secured Party shall have no duty as to any of the Collateral or as to the taking
of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining to the Collateral. The Secured Party shall have no
responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relative to any
Pledged Securities, whether or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights
against any parties with respect to any Pledged Securities.

Remedies. During the continuation of any Event of Default:
--------
Interim Remedies.
----------------
          The Secured Party may exercise all the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC and any other rights and remedies available under
applicable law.

          The Secured Party may prosecute actions in equity or at law for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of
the execution of any power herein granted or for the enforcement of any other
appropriate legal or equitable remedy.

          All rights of the Debtor to receive cash dividends or distributions
shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured
Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive such cash dividends or
distributions. All cash dividends or distributions received by the Debtor in
violation of the foregoing shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Secured Party, shall be segregated from other funds of the Debtor, and shall be
promptly paid over to the Secured Party to be held as Collateral in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

          All rights of the Debtor to exercise the voting and other consensual
rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to any
Pledged Securities and pursuant to this Agreement shall cease, and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in the Secured Party who shall thereupon
have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights. The
Debtor authorizes all other parties to follow the instructions of the Secured
Party and ignore the instructions of the Debtor with respect to such rights.

                                      -41-

<PAGE>

          To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party shall
have the right, without notice to the Debtor, to transfer or to register, in the
name of the Secured Party or any of its nominees, any of the Pledged Securities.
In addition, the Secured Party shall have the right at any time to exchange the
certificates or instruments representing the Pledged Securities for certificates
or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

          The Secured Party may require the Debtor to promptly assemble any
tangible Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at a place to be
designated by the Secured Party. The Secured Party may occupy any premises owned
or leased by the Debtor where the Collateral is assembled for a reasonable
period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law,
without obligation to the Debtor with respect to such occupation. The Secured
Party shall have no obligation to take any action to assemble or otherwise take
control of the Collateral, whether for the purposes of sale or otherwise.

          The Secured Party may take any action permitted under the Credit
Agreement or the other Loan Documents including declaring the unpaid portion of
the Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable under the terms of the
Credit Agreement.

Foreclosure.
-----------
          The Secured Party may foreclose on the Collateral in any manner
permitted by the courts of or in the State of New York or the State in which any
Collateral is located. If the Secured Party should institute a suit for the
collection of the Secured Obligations and for the foreclosure of this Agreement,
the Secured Party may at any time before the entry of a final judgment dismiss
the same, and take any other action permitted by this Agreement.

          The Secured Party may exercise all the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the UCC, including foreclosure.

          If, in the opinion of the Secured Party, there is any question that a
     public or semipublic sale or distribution of any Collateral will violate
     any state or federal securities law, the Secured Party in its discretion
     (A) may offer and sell securities privately to purchasers who will agree to
     take them for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution and
     who will agree to imposition of restrictive legends on the certificates
     representing the security or (B) may, if lawful, sell such securities in an
     intrastate offering under Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933,
     as amended, and no sale so made in good faith by the Secured Party shall be
     deemed to be not "commercially reasonable" because so made. Debtor shall
     cooperate fully with Secured Party in all respects in selling or realizing
     upon all or any part of the Collateral. In addition, Debtor shall fully
     comply with the securities laws of the United States, the State of New
     York, and other states or jurisdictions and take such actions as may be
     necessary to permit the Secured Party to sell or otherwise dispose of any
     securities pledged hereunder in compliance with such laws.

          The Secured Party may sell any Collateral at public or private sale,
     at the office of the Secured Party or elsewhere, for cash or credit and
     upon such other terms as the Secured Party deems commercially reasonable.
     The Secured Party may sell any Collateral at one or more sales, and the
     security interest granted hereunder shall remain in

                                      -42-

<PAGE>

     effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral. If notice is required by
     law, the Debtor hereby deems ten days' advance notice of the time and place
     of any public or private sale reasonable notification, recognizing that if
     the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or
     is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, shorter notice may be
     reasonable. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of
     Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured
     Party may adjourn any sale by announcement at the time and place fixed
     therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time
     and place to which it was adjourned. In the event that any sale hereunder
     is not completed or is defective in the opinion of the Secured Party, the
     Secured Party shall have the right to cause subsequent sales to be made
     hereunder. Any statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of
     sale, assignment, or other document representing any sale hereunder,
     including statements relating to the occurrence of an Event of Default,
     acceleration of the Secured Obligations, notice of the sale, the time,
     place, and terms of the sale, and other actions taken by the Secured Party
     in relation to the sale shall be conclusive evidence of the truth of the
     matters so stated. The Secured Party may delegate to any agent the
     performance of any acts in connection with any sale hereunder, including
     the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale.

Application of Proceeds. Unless otherwise specified herein, any cash proceeds
-----------------------
received by the Secured Party from the sale of, collection of, or other
realization upon any part of the Collateral or any other amounts received by the
Secured Party hereunder shall be applied to the Secured Obligations as directed
by the Secured Party.

Waiver of Certain Rights. To the full extent the Debtor may do so, the Debtor
------------------------
shall not insist upon, plead, claim, or take advantage of any law providing for
any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption, and the Debtor
hereby waives and releases the same, and all rights to a marshaling of the
assets of the Debtor, including the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of
alienation in the event of foreclosure of the liens and security interests
hereby created. The Debtor shall not assert any right under any law pertaining
to the marshaling of assets, sale in inverse order of alienation, the
administration of estates of decedents or other matters whatever to defeat,
reduce, or affect the right of the Secured Party under the terms of this
Agreement.

Miscellaneous.
--------------
General. The miscellaneous provisions contained in Article XI of the Credit
-------
Agreement are incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein. This Agreement
may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which shall constitute one and
the same agreement.
Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for

Agreement.

     5.3  Choice of Law.

WITH, the LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK applicable to agreements made and to be
