               that no Facility B Lender shall have any obligation to make a
               requested Facility B Revolving Loan if, after giving effect to
               such Loan, the Dollar Equivalent of such Lender's Facility B

               Facility B Commitment at such time. All Facility B Revolving
               Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis by Facility B Lenders in

               Borrowers shall request under Facility B (individually, a "Term
               Loan"); provided, however, that no Lender shall have any
               obligation to make requested Term Loans if the Dollar Equivalent
               of the aggregate principal amount thereof would exceed such
               Lender's Facility B Commitment on the Facility B Revolving Loan
               Maturity Date. The Term Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis
               by Facility B Lenders in accordance with their respective

        maturity thereof, at one of the following rates per annum:

                   (i) During such periods as any Revolving Loan is a Base Rate
               Loan or any Portion of such Term Loan is a Base Rate Portion, at
               a rate per annum on such Loan or Portion equal to the Base Rate
               plus the Applicable Margin therefor, such rate to change from
               time to time as the Applicable Margin or Base Rate shall change;
               and

                   (ii) During such periods as any Revolving Loan is a LIBOR
               Loan or any Portion of such Term Loan is a LIBOR Portion, at a
               rate per annum on such Loan or Portion equal at all times during
               each Interest Period for such Loan or Portion to the LIBO Rate
               for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin therefor,
               such rate to change from time to time as the Applicable Margin
               shall change.

        All Revolving Loans in each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall, at any given
        time prior to maturity, bear interest at one, and only one, of the above

        minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
        excess thereof.

               (b)    Terms.

                   (i) LIBOR Loan and LIBOR Portion Interest Periods. The
               initial and each subsequent Interest Period selected by a

               Loans or any LIBOR Portion of the Term Loan Borrowing shall be
               one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) months; provided, however,
               that (A) any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day
               which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next
               succeeding Business Day unless such next Business Day falls in
               another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall
               end on the immediately preceding Business Day; (B) any Interest
               Period which begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month
               (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day
               in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall
               end on the last Business Day of a calendar month; (C) no Interest
               Period for a Facility A Revolving Loan Borrowing shall end after
               the Facility A Revolving Loan Maturity Date; (D) no Interest
               Period of a Facility B Revolving Loan Borrowing shall end after
               the Facility B Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and (E) no Interest
               Period for a LIBOR Portion of a Term Loan Borrowing shall end
               after the Term Loan Maturity Date.

                   (ii) Notice of Interest Period Selection. The applicable
               Borrower shall notify Agent by an irrevocable written notice in a
               form acceptable to Agent, appropriately completed (a "Notice of
               Interest Period Selection"), at least four (4) Business Days
               prior to the last day of each Interest Period for any Borrowing
               in an Alternative Currency and at least three (3) Business Days
               prior to the last day of each Interest Period for a Revolving
               Loan Borrowing in Dollars consisting of LIBOR Loans or any LIBOR
               Portion of a Term Loan Borrowing of the Interest Period selected
               by

               such Borrower for the next succeeding Interest Period for such
               Borrowing or Portion. Each Notice of Interest Period Selection
               shall be given by first-class mail or facsimile to the office or
               the facsimile number and during the hours specified in Paragraph
               8.01; provided, however, that the applicable Borrower shall
               promptly deliver to Agent the original of any Notice of Interest
               Period Selection initially delivered by facsimile. If any
               Borrower fails to notify Agent of the next Interest Period for a
               Borrowing in accordance with this Subparagraph 2.03(b)(ii), the
               next Interest Period for such Borrowing shall be one (1) month.
               Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each
               Notice of Interest Period Selection.

                      (iii) Conversion of Term Loan Portions. Any Borrower may
               convert any Portion of the Term Loan Borrowing from one Type of
               Portion to another Type; provided, however, that any conversion
               of a LIBOR Portion into a Base Rate Portion shall be made on, and
               only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR
               Portion. Borrowers shall request such a conversion by an
               irrevocable written notice to Agent in a form acceptable to
               Agent, appropriately completed (a "Notice of Term Loan
               Conversion"), which specifies, among other things:

                             (A) The Portion of the Term Loan Borrowing which is
                      to be converted;

                             (B) The amount and Type of each Portion of the Term
                      Loan Borrowing into which it is to be converted;

                             (C) If any Portion of the Term Loan Borrowing is to
                      be converted into a LIBOR Portion, the initial Interest
                      Period selected by the applicable Borrower for such
                      Portion in accordance with Subparagraph 2.03(b)(i); and

                             (D) The date of the requested conversion, which
                      shall be a Business Day.

               Borrowers shall give each Notice of Term Loan Conversion to Agent
               at least four (4) Business Days before the date of the requested
               conversion in the case of a Term Loan Conversion in an
               Alternative Currency and at least three (3) Business Days before
               the date of the requested conversion in the case of a Term Loan
               Conversion in Dollars. Each Notice of Term Loan Conversion shall
               be delivered by first-class mail or facsimile to Agent at the
               office or to the facsimile number and during the hours specified
               in Paragraph 8.01; provided, however, that such Borrower shall
               promptly deliver to Agent the original of any Notice of Term Loan
               Conversion initially delivered by facsimile. Agent shall promptly
               notify each Lender of the contents of each Notice of Term Loan
               Conversion. Only Term Loan Borrowings in Dollars may include Base
               Rate Portions.

        2.04.  Purpose.

               (a) Revolving Loans. FIL shall use the proceeds of the initial
        Revolving Loan to repay on the Closing Date all indebtedness outstanding
        under the Existing FIL Credit Agreement and to fund the DII Acquisition
        (including debt refinancing), and thereafter Borrowers shall use the
        proceeds of the Revolving Loans and for their respective working capital
        and general corporate needs.

               (b) Term Loans. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Term
        Loans first to repay all outstanding Facility B Revolving Loans and then
        for their respective working capital and general corporate needs. Any
        Facility B Revolving Loans outstanding at the time of the funding of any
        Term Loan shall be deemed to be converted into Term Loans.

        2.05.  Amount Limitations, Commitment Reductions, Etc.

               (a) Commitment Limitations. The Dollar Equivalent of the
        aggregate principal amount of all Facility A Revolving Loans outstanding
        at any time shall not exceed the Total Facility A Commitment at such
        time. The Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all
        Facility B Revolving Loans

                                       22
<PAGE>   27

        outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Total Facility B Commitment
        at such time. The Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of
        all Term Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Total
        Facility B Commitment at such time.

               (b) Determination of Dollar Equivalent. For the purposes of
        applying the amount limitations set forth in Subparagraph 2.05(a) and
        calculating the Unused Total Facility A Commitment and the Unused Total
        Facility B Commitment and for all other purposes herein, the Dollar
        Equivalent of each Loan in an Alternative Currency shall be determined
        by Agent on the date of such Loan, on the last day of each month and, if
        an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any other time
        determined by Agent, and the Dollar Equivalent of such Loan at any time
        shall be the Dollar Equivalent most recently so determined by Agent.
        Each such determination by Agent shall, in the absence of manifest
        error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

               (c) Reduction or Cancellation of Commitments. Upon four (4)
        Business Days prior written notice to Agent, Borrowers may permanently
        reduce the Total Facility A Commitment and/or the Total Facility B
        Commitment by the Dollar Equivalent amount of Five Million Dollars
        ($5,000,000) or integral multiples in excess thereof or cancel the Total
        Facility A Commitment and/or the Total Facility B Commitment in its
        entirety; provided, however, that:

                             (i) Borrowers may not reduce the Total Facility A
                      Commitment prior to the Facility A Revolving Loan Maturity
                      Date, if, after giving effect to such reduction, the
                      Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all
                      Facility A Revolving Loans then outstanding would exceed
                      the Total Facility A Commitment;

                             (ii) Borrowers may not reduce the Total Facility B
                      Commitment prior to the Facility B Revolving Loan Maturity
                      Date if, after giving effect to such reduction, the Dollar
                      Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all
                      Facility B Revolving Loans then outstanding would exceed
                      the Total Facility B Commitment;

                             (iii) Borrowers may not cancel the Total Facility A
                      Commitment prior to the Facility A Revolving Loan Maturity
                      Date, if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any
                      Facility A Revolving Loan would then remain outstanding;
                      and

                             (ii) Borrowers may not cancel the Total Facility B
                      Commitment prior to the Facility B Revolving Loan Maturity
                      Date, if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any
                      Facility B Revolving Loan would then remain outstanding.

               Unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Agreement, the Facility
               A Commitments shall terminate on the Facility A Revolving Loan
               Maturity Date and the Facility B Commitments shall terminate on
               the Facility B Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

               (d) Effect of Commitment Reductions. From the effective date of
        any reduction of the Total Facility A Commitment or the Total Facility B
        Commitment, the Commitment Fees payable pursuant to Subparagraph 2.06(b)
        shall be computed on the basis of the Total Facility A Commitment and/or
        the Total Facility B Commitment as so reduced. Once reduced or
        cancelled, the Total Facility A Commitment or the Total Facility B
        Commitment may not be increased or reinstated without the prior written
        consent of all Facility A Lenders or Facility B Lenders, as applicable.
        Any reduction of the Total Facility A Commitment pursuant to
        Subparagraph 2.05(c) shall be applied ratably to reduce each Facility A
        Lender's Facility A Commitment in accordance with clause (i) of
        Subparagraph 2.09(a). Any reduction of the Total Facility B Commitment
        pursuant to Subparagraph 2.05(c) shall be applied ratably to reduce each
        Facility B Lender's Facility B Commitment in accordance with clause (ii)
        of Subparagraph 2.11(a).

                      (i) If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of all
               Facility A Revolving Loans then outstanding exceeds any
               limitations set forth in Subparagraph 2.05(c), the applicable
               Borrower(s) shall immediately prepay such Facility A Revolving
               Loans in such amounts as Agent shall determine are necessary to
               eliminate such excess.

                                       24

                      (ii) If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of
               all Facility B Revolving Loans then outstanding exceeds any
               limitations set forth in Subparagraph 2.05(c), the applicable
               Borrower(s) shall immediately prepay such Facility B Revolving
               Loans in such amounts as Agent shall determine are necessary to
               eliminate such excess.

               (d) Application of Prepayments. All prepayments of Borrowings
        shall, to the extent possible, be applied to prepay the Base Rate
        Borrowings, Base Rate Portions, LIBOR Borrowings or LIBOR Portions
        designated by any Borrower.

        2.08.  Other Payment Terms.

               (a)    Place and Manner.

                      (i) Borrowers shall make all payments due to each Lender
               or Agent hereunder by payments to Agent at Agent's New York
               office located at the address specified in Paragraph 8.01, with
               each such payment due to a Lender to be for the account of such
               Lender and such Lender's Lending Office.

                      (ii) Borrowers shall make all payments hereunder in the
               lawful Currency required by Subparagraph 2.08(c) and in same day
               or immediately available funds and without deduction or offset
               not later than 11:00 a.m. (California time, in the case of any
               payment to be made to Agent's New York office) and on the date
               due. Agent shall promptly disburse to each Lender each payment
               received by Agent for the account of such Lender.

               (b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a
        day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
        succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in
        the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

               (c)    Currency of Payment.

                      (i) Borrowers shall pay principal of, interest on and all
               other amounts related to each Borrowing in the Currency of such
               Borrowing. Borrowers shall pay Commitment Fees and all other
               amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Credit
               Documents in Dollars. If, for any reason, any Borrower is
               prohibited by any Governmental Rule from making any required
               payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall
               make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of such
               Alternative Currency amount as determined by Agent.

                      (ii) If any amounts required to be paid by Borrowers under
               this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any order, judgment
               or award given or rendered in relation hereto or thereto has to
               be converted from the currency (the "first currency") in which
               the same is payable hereunder or thereunder into another currency
               (the "second currency") for the purpose of (A) making or filing a
               claim or proof against Borrowers with any Governmental Authority,
               (B) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal
               or (C) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation
               hereto, Borrowers shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
               indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons to whom such
               amounts are payable from and against any loss suffered as a
               result of any discrepancy between (1) the rate of exchange used
               for such purpose to convert the amounts in question from the
               first currency into the second currency and (2) the rate or rates
               of exchange at which such Person may, using reasonable efforts in
               the ordinary course of business, purchase the first currency with
               the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in
               satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment,
               claim or proof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a
               separate obligation of Borrowers distinct from their other
               obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or making of
               any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such
               obligations. The obligations of Borrowers under this Subparagraph
               2.08(c) shall survive the payment and performance of the
               Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

                                       25
<PAGE>   30

               (d) Late Payments. If any amount required to be paid by any
        Borrower under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including,
        without limitation, principal or interest payable on any Loan, any fees
        or any other amount) remains unpaid after such amount is due, such
        Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding balance of
        such amount from the date due until such amount is paid in full at a per
        annum rate equal to (i) in the case any amount payable in Dollars, the
        Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%), such rate to change from time to
        time as the Base Rate shall change, and (ii) in the case of any amount
        payable in an Alternative Currency, the Overnight Rate for such amount
        plus three percent (3.00%), such rate to change from time to time as the
        Overnight Rate shall change.

               (e) Application of Payments. All payments hereunder shall be
        applied first to unpaid fees, costs and expenses then due and payable
        under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, second to accrued
        interest then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Credit
        Documents and finally to reduce the principal amount of outstanding
        Loans.

               (f) Failure to Pay Agent. Unless Agent shall have received notice
        from a Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which
        any payment is due to Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make
        such payment in full, Agent shall be entitled to assume that such
        Borrower has made or will make such payment in full to Agent on such
        date and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be paid
        to the applicable Lenders on such due date an amount equal to the amount
        then due such Lenders. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have
        so made such payment in full to Agent, each such Lender shall repay to
        Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender
        together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount
        is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such
        amount to Agent, at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Federal Funds Rate
        for the first three (3) days and the Base Rate thereafter for any amount
        in Dollars or (ii) the Overnight Rate for the first three (3) days and
        the Overnight Rate plus one percent (1%) thereafter for any amount in an
        Alternative Currency. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender
        with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Subparagraph
        2.08(f) shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount.

        2.09.  Loan Accounts; Notes.

               (a) Loan Accounts. The obligation of each Borrower to repay the
        Loans made to it by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates
        provided herein shall be evidenced by an account or accounts maintained
        by such Lender on its books (individually, a "Loan Account"), except
        that any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a note or
        notes pursuant to Subparagraph 2.09(b). Each Lender shall record in its
        Loan Accounts (i) the date, amount and currency of each Loan made by
        such Lender, (ii) the interest rates applicable to each such Loan and
        each Portion thereof and the effective dates of all changes thereto,
        (iii) the Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan and LIBOR Portion, (iv)
        the date, amount and currency of each principal and interest payment on
        each Loan and Portion and (v) such other information as such Lender may
        determine is necessary for the computation of principal and interest
        payable to it by each Borrower hereunder; provided, however, that any
        failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any
        such notation shall not affect Borrowers' Obligations hereunder. The
        Loan Accounts shall constitute prima facie evidence of the matters noted
        therein.

               (b) Notes. If any Lender so requests, (i) such Lender's Revolving
        Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes in the form of Exhibit C(1)
        (individually, a "Revolving Loan Note") and (ii) such Lender's Term
        Loans shall be evidenced by promissory notes in the form of Exhibit C(2)
        (individually, a "Term Loan Note"), each of which shall be (A) payable
        to the order of such Lender, (B) dated the Closing Date, and (C)
        otherwise appropriately completed.

        2.10.  Loan Funding.

               (a) Lender Funding and Disbursements to Borrowers. Each Lender
        shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of each Borrowing,
        make available to Agent at Agent's New York office specified in
        Paragraph 8.01, in immediately available funds, such Lender's applicable
        Proportionate Share of such Borrowing. After Agent's receipt of such
        funds and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
        Section III, Agent shall promptly disburse such funds to the applicable
        Borrower no later than

                                       26
<PAGE>   31

        1:00 p.m. (California time) in immediately available funds. Agent shall
        disburse the proceeds of each Borrowing as directed by the applicable
        Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

               (b) Lender Failure to Fund. Unless Agent shall have received
        notice from a Lender prior to the date of a Borrowing that such Lender
        will not make available to Agent such Lender's applicable Proportionate
        Share of such Borrowing, Agent shall be entitled to assume that such
        Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent on the date
        of such Borrowing in accordance with Subparagraph 2.08(a), and Agent may
        on such date, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse or otherwise
        credit to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Lender
        does not make the amount of its applicable Proportionate Share of a
        Borrowing available to Agent on or prior to the date of such Borrowing,
        such Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue
        on such amount from the date of such Borrowing until such amount is paid
        to Agent at rates equal to (i) the Federal Funds Rate for the first
        three (3) days and the Base Rate thereafter for any amount in Dollars or
        (ii) the Overnight Rate plus one percent (1%) for any amount in an
        Alternative Currency. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender
        with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Subparagraph
        2.08(b) shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount. If the
        amount of any Lender's applicable Proportionate Share of any Borrowing
        is not paid to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after
        the date of such Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall repay such
        amount to Agent, on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day
        from the date such amount was disbursed to such Borrower until the date
        such amount is repaid to Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the
        time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

               (c) Lenders' Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to
        make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not
        relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan as
        part of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be obligated in any way to
        make any Loan which another Lender has failed or refused to make or
        otherwise be in any way responsible for the failure or refusal of any
        other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender.

        2.11.  Pro Rata Treatment.

               (a) Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc. Except as otherwise
               provided herein:

                      (i) Each Borrowing under Facility A and reduction of the
               Total Facility A Commitment shall be made or shared among
               Facility A Lenders pro rata according to their respective
               Facility A Proportionate Shares;

                      (ii) Each Borrowing under Facility B and reduction of the
               Total Facility B Commitments shall be made or shared among
               Facility B Lenders pro rata according to their respective
               Facility B Proportionate Shares;

                      (iii) Each payment of principal on Loans in any Borrowing
               shall be shared among Lenders which made or funded the Loans in
               such Borrowing pro rata according to the respective unpaid
               principal amounts of such Loans then owed to such Lenders;

                      (iv) Each payment of interest on Loans in any Borrowing
               shall be shared among Lenders which made or funded the Loans in
               such Borrowing pro rata according to (A) the respective unpaid
               principal amounts of such Loans then owed to such Lenders so made
               or funded by such Lenders and (B) the dates on which such Lenders
               so made or funded such Loans;

                      (v) Each payment of Facility A Commitment Fees shall be
               shared among Facility A Lenders (except for Defaulting Lenders)
               pro rata according to (A) their respective Facility A
               Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case of each Facility A
               Lender which becomes a Facility A Lender hereunder after the date
               hereof and before the Facility A Revolving Loan Maturity Date,
               the date upon which such Facility A Lender so became a Facility A
               Lender;

                                       27
<PAGE>   32

                      (vi) Each payment of Facility B Commitment Fees shall be
               shared among Facility B Lenders (except for Defaulting Lenders)
               pro rata according to (A) their respective Facility B
               Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case of each Facility B
               Lender which becomes a Facility B Lender hereunder after the date
               hereof and before the Facility B Revolving Loan Maturity Date,
               the date upon which such Facility B Lender so became a Facility B
               Lender;

                      (vii) Each payment of interest (other than interest on
               Loans) shall be shared among Lenders and Agent owed the amount
               upon which such interest accrues pro rata according to (A) the
               respective amounts so owed such Lenders and Agent and (B) the
               dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and
               Agent; and

                      (v) All other payments under this Agreement and the other
               Credit Documents shall be for the benefit of the Person or
               Persons specified.

               (b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any
        payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
        right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Loan owed to it as part
        of any Borrowing in excess of its ratable share of payments on account
        of all Loans in such Borrowing obtained by all applicable Lenders
        entitled to such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from
        such other Lenders such participations in their Loans as shall be
        necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment
        ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion
        of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
        Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and each other applicable
        Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the
        extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other
        Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
        such other 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. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
        participation from another Lender pursuant to this Subparagraph 2.11 (b)
        may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
        payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such
        participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of
        such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

        2.12.  Change of Circumstances.

               (a) Inability to Obtain Funds, Determine Rates, Etc. If, on or
        before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Borrowing or
        LIBOR Portion in any currency, Agent shall determine (which
        determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent
        manifest error) that (i) funds in the currency of such Borrowing or
        Portion are not readily available in the amounts necessary for such
        Borrowing or Portion in the London interbank market, (ii) the LIBO Rate
        for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined
        due to other circumstances affecting the London interbank market, or
        (iii) the rate of interest for such Borrowing or Portion does not
        adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of making or
        maintaining such Borrowing or Portion, Agent shall immediately give
        notice of such condition to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable
        Lenders. After the giving of any such notice and until Agent shall
        otherwise notify the applicable Borrowers that the circumstances giving
        rise to such condition no longer exist, such Borrowers' right to obtain,
        continue or convert to Borrowings or Portions in the affected currency
        shall be suspended. Any LIBOR Borrowings or LIBOR Portions in the
        affected currency outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension
        shall be repaid at the end of the then current Interest Period for such
        Borrowings or Portions unless such suspension has then ended.

               (b) Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the
        adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule
        or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs
        in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a
        result of amendment or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or
        administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority,
        or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or
        not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (a "Change of
        Law") shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or
        maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion in any currency, such Lender
        shall immediately notify Agent and the applicable Borrower of such
        Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) such Borrower's right to
        obtain, continue or convert to LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions in the

                                       28
<PAGE>   33

        affected currency shall be suspended until such time as Agent shall
        notify such Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances
        giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and (ii) such Borrower
        shall, if so requested by such Lender, immediately repay such LIBOR
        Loans or LIBOR Portions in the affected currency if such Lender shall
        notify such Borrower that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund
        and maintain such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions. Any prepayment of LIBOR
        Loans or LIBOR Portions made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to
        the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR
        Portions shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Paragraph
        2.14.

               (c) Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any
               Change of Law:

                      (i) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other
               charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, or shall
               change the basis of taxation of payments by any Borrower to any
               such Lender on such a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, or in respect
               to such a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion, under this Agreement
               (except for changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net
               income of such Lender imposed by its jurisdiction of
               incorporation or the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending
               Office); or

                      (ii) Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve
               (excluding any Reserve Requirement or other reserve to the extent
               included in the calculation of the LIBO Rate for any Loans or
               Portions), special deposit or similar requirement against assets
               held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
               advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any
               Lender for any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion; or

                      (iii) Shall impose on any Lender any other condition
               related to any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or such Lender's
               Commitments;

        And the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
        Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or LIBOR
        Portion or its Commitments or to reduce any amount receivable by such
        Lender hereunder; then Borrowers shall from time to time, within ten
        (10) Business Days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender
        additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such
        increased costs or to compensate such Lender for such reduced amounts;
        provided, however, that Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any
        payment to any demanding party under this Subparagraph 2.10(c) on
        account of any such increased costs or reduced amounts unless Borrowers
        receive notice of such increased costs or reduced amounts from the
        demanding party within twelve (12) months after they are incurred or
        realized. A certificate executed by an officer of the applicable Lender
        setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or
        reduced amounts, submitted by such Lender to Borrowers shall constitute
        prima facie evidence of such costs or amounts. The obligations of
        Borrowers under this Subparagraph 2.12(c) shall survive the payment and
        performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

               (d) Capital Requirements. If, after the date of this Agreement,
        any Lender determines that (i) any Change of Law affects the amount of
        capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any
        Person controlling such Lender (a "Capital Adequacy Requirement") and
        (ii) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person
        which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Commitments or
        this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy
        Requirement (taking into account such Lender's or such Person's policies
        with respect to capital adequacy), Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or
        such Person, within ten (10) Business Days after demand of such Lender,
        such amounts as such Lender or such Person shall determine are necessary
        to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased costs to such
        Lender or such Person of such increased capital; provided, however, that
        Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any payment to any demanding
        party under this Subparagraph 2.12(d) on account of any such increased
        costs unless Borrowers receive notice of such increased costs from the
        demanding party within twelve (12) months after they are incurred or
        realized. A certificate executed by an officer of the applicable Lender
        setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs,
        submitted by any Lender to Borrowers shall constitute prima facie
        evidence of such costs. The obligations of Borrowers under this
        Subparagraph 2.12(d) shall survive the payment and performance of the
        Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

                                       29
<PAGE>   34

               (e) Mitigation. Any Lender which becomes aware of (i) any Change
        of Law which will make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make
        or maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or (ii) any Change of Law or
        other event or condition which will obligate Borrowers to pay any amount
        pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(c) or Subparagraph 2.12(d) shall notify
        Borrowers and Agent thereof as promptly as practical. If any Lender has
        given notice of any such Change of Law or other event or condition and
        thereafter becomes aware that such Change of Law or other event or
        condition has ceased to exist, such Lender shall notify Borrowers and
        Agent thereof as promptly as practical. Each Lender affected by any
        Change of Law which makes it unlawful or impossible for such Lender to
        make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion or to which Borrowers
        are obligated to pay any amount pursuant to Subparagraph 2.12(c) or
        Subparagraph 2.12(d) shall use reasonable commercial efforts (including
        changing the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Offices) to avoid
        the effect of such Change of Law or to avoid or materially reduce any
        amounts which Borrowers are obligated to pay pursuant to Subparagraph
        2.12(c) or Subparagraph 2.12(d) if, in the reasonable opinion of such
        Lender, such efforts would not be disadvantageous to such Lender or
        contrary to such Lender's normal banking practices.

        2.13.  Taxes on Payments.

               (a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments made by Borrowers under
        this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be made free and
        clear of, and, except as provided herein, without deduction or
        withholding for or on account of, Non-Excluded Taxes. If any
        Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable
        to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents,
        the amounts so payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the
        extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
        Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder
        at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the other
        Credit Documents. Whenever any Taxes are payable by Borrowers, as
        promptly as possible thereafter, Borrowers shall send to Agent for its
        own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a
        certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrowers
        showing payment thereof. If Borrowers fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes
        when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent
        the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers
        shall indemnify Agent and Lenders for any taxes (including interest or
        penalties) that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of
        any such failure. The obligations of Borrowers under this Subparagraph
        2.13(a) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and
        the termination of this Agreement.

               (b) Withholding Exemption Certificates. Each Borrower may from
        time to time, by written notice to the Agent and each Lender, designate
        an office from which payments under this Agreement shall be made (an
        "Applicable Payment Office"). Each Lender which is not organized under
        the laws of the jurisdiction of a Borrower's Applicable Payment Office
        shall, within sixty (60) days of receipt of any such notice, notify the
        applicable Borrower whether such Lender is entitled to receive payments
        on its Loans under this Agreement from such Borrower's Applicable
        Payment Office for the account of such Lender's Lending Office without
        deduction or withholding of any income taxes imposed by the jurisdiction
        of such Borrower's Applicable Payment Office and deliver to such
        Borrower such certificates and other evidence as such Borrower shall
        reasonably request to establish such fact. Each such Lender further
        agrees (A) promptly to notify the applicable Borrowers and Agent of any
        change of circumstances (including any change in any treaty, law or
        regulation) which would prevent such Lender from receiving such payments
        hereunder without any deduction or withholding of such taxes and (B) if
        such Lender is still legally entitled to do so, then on or before the
        date that any certificate or other form delivered by such Lender under
        this Subparagraph 2.13(b) expires, to deliver to such Borrowers and
        Agent a new certificate or form, certifying that such Lender is entitled
        to receive such payments under this Agreement without deduction or such
        taxes.

               (c) Mitigation. If Agent or any Lender claims any additional
        amounts to be payable to it pursuant to this Paragraph 2.13, such Person
        shall use reasonable commercial efforts to file any certificate or
        document requested in writing by the applicable Borrower reflecting a
        reduced rate of withholding or to change the jurisdiction of an
        Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a filing or such change
        in the jurisdiction of an Applicable Lending Office would avoid the need
        for or materially reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which
        may thereafter accrue and if, in the reasonable opinion of such Person,

                                       30
<PAGE>   35

        in the case of a change in the jurisdiction of an Applicable Lending
        Office, such change would not be disadvantageous to such Person or
        contrary to such Person's normal banking practices.

               (d) Tax Returns. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 2.13 shall
        require Agent or any Lender to make available any of its tax returns (or
        any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be
        confidential).

               (e) Lender Rate Contracts. Nothing contained in this Paragraph
        2.13 shall override or supercede any term or provision of any Lender
        Rate Contract regarding withholding taxes relating to Rate Contracts.

        2.14. Funding Loss Indemnification. If any of the Borrowers shall (a)
repay, prepay or convert any LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion on any day other than
the last day of an Interest Period therefor (whether a scheduled payment, an
optional prepayment or conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a
payment upon acceleration or otherwise), (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loan or
LIBOR Portion after delivering the Notice of Borrowing therefor to Agent
(whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or
otherwise), (c) fail to convert any Portion of a Term Loan Borrowing into a
LIBOR Portion in accordance with a Notice of Term Loan Conversion delivered to
Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions
or otherwise) or (d) fail to pay when due any principal or interest on any LIBOR
Loan or LIBOR Portion, such Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after
demand of such Lender, reimburse such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless
from all reasonable costs and losses incurred by such Lender as a result of such
repayment, prepayment, conversion or failure; provided, however, that Borrowers
shall have no obligation to make any payment to any demanding party under this
Paragraph 2.14 on account of any such costs or losses unless Borrowers receive
notice of such costs or losses from the demanding party within twelve (12)
months after they are incurred or realized. Borrowers understand that such costs
and losses may include, without limitation, losses incurred by a Lender as a
result of funding and other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund a
LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Portion. Each Lender demanding payment under this Paragraph
2.14 shall deliver to Borrowers, with a copy to Agent, a certificate setting
forth the amount of costs and losses for which demand is made, which certificate
shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount demanded.
Such a certificate so delivered to Borrowers shall constitute prima facie
evidence of such costs and losses. The obligations of Borrowers under this
Paragraph 2.14 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and
the termination of this Agreement.

        2.15.  Security.

               (a) Guaranties, Etc. The Obligations shall be secured by the
               following:

                      (i) A Guaranty in the form of Exhibit D (the "Guaranty"),
               duly executed by FIL and all Eligible Material Subsidiaries, with
               such changes thereto as may be appropriate based on the law of
               the applicable jurisdictions; and

                      (ii) A Pledge Agreement or Pledge Agreements, each in the
               form of Exhibit E (individually a "Pledge Agreement"), duly
               executed by FIL and any Subsidiary that directly owns the stock
               of any Ineligible Material Subsidiaries, together with the
               Guaranty executed by any such Subsidiary, with such changes
               thereto as may be appropriate based on the law of the applicable
               jurisdictions;

               provided, however, that (1) in lieu of providing a pledge of the
               stock of Flextronics Industrial (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. by
               Flextronics Singapore Pte Ltd., FIL shall provide a pledge of the
               stock of Flextronics Singapore Pte Ltd. and Flextronics Singapore
               Pte Ltd. shall execute the Guaranty, (2) in lieu of providing a
               pledge of the stock of Flextronics International Sweden AB by
               F.L. Tronics Holdings AB and a pledge of the stock of Flextronics
               International Finland Oy by Flextronics Holding Finland OY,
               Flextronics Holdings UK Limited shall execute the Guaranty and a
               pledge of the stock of F.L. Tronics Holdings AB, and (3) in lieu
               of providing a pledge of the stock of Flextronics International
               Kft, FIL shall pledge the stock of Flextronics International
               GmbH; (4) with respect to Flextronics Singapore Pte Ltd., on or
               prior to the date such Subsidiary is dissolved and the stock of
               Flextronics International (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. is thereafter held
               by

                                       31
<PAGE>   36

               Flextronics International Singapore Pte Ltd., FIL shall promptly
               provide a pledge of the stock of Flextronics International
               Singapore Pte Ltd. and Flextronics International Singapore Pte
               Ltd. shall promptly execute the Guaranty which shall replace the
               guaranty of Flextronics Singapore Pte Ltd.; (5) if FIL does not
               dissolve Flextronics International Fremont, Inc. on or before May
               31, 2000, Flextronics International Fremont, Inc. shall also
               promptly execute the Guaranty; and (6) on or prior to April 14,
               2000, Dovatron Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. shall execute the Guaranty, in
               connection with the DII Acquisition.

               (b)    Changes in Material Subsidiaries.

                      (i) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement, any
               Subsidiary of FIL that is not a Guarantor under the Guaranty
               shall become an Eligible Material Subsidiary, FIL promptly shall
               deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, within sixty (60)
               days of any such event, (A) a Subsidiary Joinder in the form of
               Attachment 1 to the Guaranty, appropriately completed and duly
               executed by such Subsidiary, and (B) such other instruments,
               agreements, certificates, opinions and documents as Agent may
               reasonably request to secure, maintain, protect and evidence the
               obligations of such Subsidiary under the Guaranty.

                      (ii) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement, any
               Subsidiary of FIL that is a Guarantor under the Guaranty shall
               cease to be an Eligible Material Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall
               release such Subsidiary from its obligations under the Guaranty,
               subject to the completion by FIL (and, if the Equity Securities
               of such Subsidiary are owned directly by another Subsidiary of
               FIL, by such other parent Subsidiary) of such actions as may be
               necessary to grant to Agent, to the extent provided in clause
               (iii) below, a perfected security interest in the Equity
               Securities of such Subsidiary.

                      (iii) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement,
               any Subsidiary of FIL shall become an Ineligible Material
               Subsidiary, FIL shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
               Agent, within sixty (60) days of any such event, such
               instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and documents
               (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) as Agent
               may reasonably request to grant, perfect, maintain, protect and
               evidence security interests in favor of Agent, for the benefit of
               Agent and Lenders as security for the Obligations, in any and all
               Equity Securities of such Subsidiary, to the extent such security
               interests are not prohibited by any applicable Governmental Rule
               and would not significantly increase the tax liability of FIL and
               its Subsidiaries.

                      (iv) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement, any
               Ineligible Material Subsidiary becomes an Eligible Material
               Subsidiary, upon FIL's compliance with clause (i) of Subparagraph
               2.15(b) above, Agent shall release the Equity Securities of such
               Subsidiary from any Pledge Agreement previously delivered with
               respect to such Subsidiary.

               (c) Further Assurances. Borrowers shall deliver, and shall cause
        their Guarantors and their Subsidiaries to deliver, to Agent such other
        pledge agreements, guaranties, guaranty supplements and other
        instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and documents (including
        Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) as Agent may reasonably
        request to implement the provisions of Subparagraph 2.15(a) and
        otherwise to establish, maintain, protect and evidence the rights
        provided to Agent, for the benefit of Agents and Lenders, pursuant to
        the Security Documents. Borrowers shall fully cooperate with Agent and
        Lenders and perform all additional acts reasonably requested by Agent or
        any Lender to effect the purposes of this Paragraph 2.15. Without
        limiting the generality of the foregoing, FIL covenants and agrees that
        it will ensure that the aggregate revenues of the Material Subsidiaries
        that have executed and delivered the Guaranty and/or Pledge Agreements
        pursuant to this Agreement and the FIUI Credit Agreement for such year
        will equal or exceed 75% of the consolidated total revenues of FIL and
        all of its Subsidiaries as reflected for such year in FIL's annual
        audited Financial Statements.

        2.16. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender shall (a) become a
Defaulting Lender more than one (1) time in a period of twelve (12) consecutive
months, (b) continue as a Defaulting Lender for more than three (3)

                                       32
<PAGE>   37

Business Days at any time, (c) suspend its obligation to make or
maintain LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Portions in any currency pursuant to Subparagraph
2.12(b) for a reason which is not applicable to any other Lender or (d) demand
any payment under Subparagraph 2.12(a), 2.12(c) or 2.12(d) for a reason which is
not applicable to any other Lender, then Agent may (or upon the written request
of Borrowers, shall) replace such Lender (the "affected Lender"), or cause such
affected Lender to be replaced, with another lender (the "replacement Lender")
satisfying the requirements of an Assignee Lender under Subparagraph 8.05(c), by
having the affected Lender sell and assign all of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to the replacement Lender
pursuant to Subparagraph 8.05(c); provided, however, that if Borrowers seek to
exercise such right, they must do so within sixty (60) days after any Borrower
first knows or should have known of the occurrence of the event or events giving
rise to such right, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation
to identify or locate a replacement Lender for Borrowers; and provided, further,
that no Lender shall be replaced under this Agreement unless such Lender is also
replaced under the FIUI Credit Agreement. Upon receipt by any affected Lender of
a written notice from Agent stating that Agent is exercising the replacement
right set forth in this Paragraph 2.16, such affected Lender shall sell and
assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents to the replacement Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement
and Subparagraph 8.05(c) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal
amount of the affected Lender's Loans so sold and assigned, all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and its ratable share of all fees to which it is
entitled.

SECTION III.      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

        3.01. Initial Conditions Precedent. The obligations of the applicable
Lenders to make the Loans comprising the initial Borrowing are subject to

Schedule 3.01, each in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and each Lender,
and with sufficient copies for, Agent and each Lender.

        3.02. Conditions Precedent to Term Loan Borrowing . The obligations of
Facility B Lenders to make the Term Loans comprising the Term Loan Borrowing

conditions that:

               (a) Borrowers shall have delivered to Agent the Notice of

        Selection, as the case may be, for such Credit Event in accordance with
        this Agreement; and

               (b) On the date such Credit Event is to occur and after giving
        effect to such Credit Event, the following shall be true and correct:

                      (i) The representations and warranties of Borrowers and
               their Subsidiaries set forth in Paragraph 4.01 and in the other
               Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects as
               if made on such date (except for representations and warranties
               expressly made as of a specified date, which shall be true as of
               such date); and

                      (ii) No Default has occurred and is continuing or will

representation and warranty by such Borrower that each of the statements set
forth above in this Subparagraph 3.03(b) is true and correct as of the date of
such notice.

        3.04. Covenant to Deliver. Borrowers agree (not as a condition but as a

condition to the occurrence of any Credit Event if such Credit Event

                                       33
<PAGE>   38

occurs. Borrowers expressly agree that the occurrence of any such Credit
Event prior to the receipt by Agent of any such item shall not constitute a
waiver by Agent or any Lender of Borrowers' obligation to deliver such item.

        3.05. Conditions Precedent to Adding Designated Borrower. The
obligations of the applicable Lenders to make Loans to any Designated Borrower
are subject to, on or prior to the date of such designation, the following: (a)

SECTION IV.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

        4.01. Borrowers' Representations and Warranties. In order to induce
Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement, Borrowers hereby represent and
warrant to Agent and Lenders as follows:

               (a) Due Incorporation, Qualification, etc. Each of Borrowers and
        their Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
        and, in any jurisdiction in which such legal concept is applicable, in
        good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (ii)
        has the power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and
        carry on its business as now conducted; and (iii) is duly qualified and
        licensed to do business as a foreign corporation or branch in each
        jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified or licensed is
        reasonably and substantially likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

               (b) Authority. The execution, delivery and performance by each of
        the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of each Credit Document executed,
        or to be executed, by such Person and the consummation of the
        transactions contemplated thereby (i) are within the power of such
        Person and (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on
        the part of such Person.

               (c) Enforceability. Each Credit Document executed, or to be
        executed, by each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries has been, or
        will be, duly executed and delivered by such Person and constitutes, or
        will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person,
        enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, except as
        limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application
        relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
        and general principles of equity.

               (d) Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery by each of
        Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of the Credit Documents executed by
        such Person and the performance and consummation of the transactions
        contemplated thereby do not (i) violate any Requirement of Law
        applicable to such Person; (ii) violate any provision of, or result in
        the breach or the acceleration of, or entitle any other Person to
        accelerate (whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or
        both), any Contractual Obligation of such Person; or (iii) result in the
        creation or imposition of any Lien (or the obligation to create or
        impose any Lien) upon any property, asset or revenue of such Person
        (except such Liens as may be created in favor of Agent pursuant to this
        Agreement or the other Credit Documents).

               (e) Approvals. No consent, approval, order or authorization of,
        or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority
        or other Person (including the shareholders of any Person) is required
        in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents
        executed by each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries the performance
        or consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

               (f) No Violation or Default. Neither any Borrower nor any of
        their Subsidiaries is in violation of or in default with respect to (i)
        any Requirement of Law applicable to such Person or (ii) any

                                       34
<PAGE>   39

        Contractual Obligation of such Person (nor is there any waiver in effect
        which, if not in effect, would result in such a violation or default),
        where, in each case, such violation or default is reasonably or
        substantially likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting
        the generality of the foregoing, neither any Borrower nor any of its
        Subsidiaries (A) has violated any Environmental Laws, (B) has any
        liability under any Environmental Laws or (C) has received notice or
        other communication of an investigation or, to the knowledge of any
        Borrower or its Subsidiaries, is under investigation by any Governmental
        Authority having authority to enforce Environmental Laws, where such
        violation, liability or investigation is reasonably and substantially
        likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is
        continuing.

               (g) Litigation. No actions (including derivative actions), suits,
        proceedings or investigations are pending or, to the knowledge of any
        Borrower, threatened against any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at
        law or in equity in any court or before any other Governmental Authority
        which (i) is reasonably and substantially likely (alone or in the
        aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) seeks to enjoin,
        either directly or indirectly, the execution, delivery or performance by
        any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the Credit Documents or the
        transactions contemplated thereby.

               (h) Title; Possession Under Leases. Each Borrower and its
        Subsidiaries own and have good and marketable title, or a valid
        leasehold interest in, all their respective material properties and
        assets as reflected in the most recent Financial Statements delivered to
        Agent (except those assets and properties disposed of in the ordinary
        course of business or otherwise in compliance with this Agreement since
        the date of such Financial Statements) and all respective material
        assets and properties acquired by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries
        since such date (except those disposed of in the ordinary course of
        business or otherwise in compliance with this Agreement). Such assets
        and properties are subject to no Lien, except for Permitted Liens.

               (i) Financial Statements. The Financial Statements of FIL and its
        Subsidiaries which have been delivered to Agent, (i) are in accordance
        with the books and records of FIL and its Subsidiaries, which have been
        maintained in accordance with good business practice; (ii) have been
        prepared in conformity with GAAP; and (iii) fairly present in all
        material respects the financial conditions and results of operations of
        FIL and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and for the period
        covered thereby. Neither FIL nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
        Contingent Obligations, liability for taxes or other outstanding
        obligations which are material in the aggregate, except as disclosed or
        reflected in the Financial Statements of FIL dated December 31, 1999,
        furnished by FIL Borrower to Agent prior to the date hereof, or in the
        Financial Statements delivered to Agent pursuant to clause (i) or (ii)
        of Subparagraph 5.01(a), or except as permitted under Section V of this
        Agreement.

               (j)    Employee Benefit Plans.

                      (i) Based on the latest valuation of each Employee Benefit
               Plan that any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate maintains or
               contributes to, or has any obligation under (which occurred
               within twelve months of the date of this representation), the
               aggregate benefit liabilities of such plan within the meaning of
               Section 4001 of ERISA did not exceed the aggregate value of the
               assets of such plan. Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
               has any liability with respect to any post-retirement benefit
               under any Employee Benefit Plan which is a welfare plan (as
               defined in section 3(1) of ERISA), other than liability for
               health plan continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title
               I(B) of ERISA, which liability for health plan contribution
               coverage is not reasonably and substantially likely to have a
               Material Adverse Effect.

                      (ii) Each Employee Benefit Plan complies, in both form and
               operation, in all material respects, with its terms, ERISA and
               the IRC, and no condition exists or event has occurred with
               respect to any such plan which would result in the incurrence by
               any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of any material liability,
               fine or penalty. Each Employee Benefit Plan, related trust
               agreement, arrangement and commitment of any Borrower or any
               ERISA Affiliate is legally valid and binding and in full force
               and effect. No Employee Benefit Plan is being audited or
               investigated by any government agency or is subject to any
               pending or threatened claim or suit.

                                       35
<PAGE>   40

               Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate nor any fiduciary of
               any Employee Benefit Plan has engaged in a prohibited transaction
               under section 406 of ERISA or section 4975 of the IRC.

                      (iii) Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
               contributes to or has any material contingent obligations to any
               Multiemployer Plan. Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
               has incurred any material liability (including secondary
               liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or
               partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under Section
               4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets described in
               Section 4204 of ERISA. Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA
               Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in
               reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of
               Section 4241 or Section 4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer
               Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under Section
               4041A of ERISA.

                      (iv) All employer and employee contributions required by
               any applicable Governmental Rule in connection with all Foreign
               Plans have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance
               with the country-specific accounting practices. The fair market
               value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of
               each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the
               book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any
               accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for
               the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with
               respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign
               Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most
               recently used to determine employer contributions to such Foreign
               Plan, which actuarial assumptions are commercially reasonable.
               Each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered
               and has been maintained in good standing with applicable
               Governmental Authorities. Each Foreign Plan reasonably complies
               in all material respects with all applicable Governmental Rules.

               (k) Other Regulations. No Borrower or any Material Subsidiary is
        subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the
        Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the
        Interstate Commerce Act, any state public utilities code or any other
        Governmental Rule that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

               (l) Patent and Other Rights. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries
        own, license or otherwise have the full right to use, under validly
        existing agreements, without known conflict with any rights of others,
        all material patents, licenses, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets,
        service marks, copyrights and all rights with respect thereto, which are
        required to conduct their businesses as now conducted.

               (m) Governmental Charges. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries have
        filed or caused to be filed all tax returns, reports and declarations
        which are required to be filed by them. Each Borrower and its
        Subsidiaries have paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes
        and other Governmental Charges which have or may have become due
        pursuant to said returns or otherwise and all other indebtedness, except
        such Governmental Charges or indebtedness, if any, which are being
        contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves (determined in
        accordance with GAAP) have been provided or which are not reasonably and
        substantially likely to have a Material Adverse Effect if unpaid.

               (n) Margin Stock. No Borrower owns any Margin Stock which, in the
        aggregate, would constitute a substantial part of the assets of such
        Borrower, and no proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry,
        directly or indirectly, any Margin Stock or to extend credit, directly
        or indirectly, to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
        any Margin Stock.

               (o) Subsidiaries, Etc. Schedule 4.01(o) (as updated on a
        quarterly basis by Borrowers in a written notice to Agent no later than
        the date financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to
        Subparagraph 5.01(a)) sets forth each of FIL's Subsidiaries (other than
        Subsidiaries with less than $100,000 in annual revenues or consolidated
        assets), its jurisdiction of organization, the classes of its Equity
        Securities, the number of shares of each such class issued and
        outstanding, the percentages of shares of each such class owned directly
        or indirectly by FIL and whether FIL owns such shares directly or, if
        not, the Subsidiary of FIL that owns such shares. The only Material
        Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement

                                       36

        Oy, Flextronics Industrial (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd., Flextronics
        International GmbH, Flextronics International Sweden AB and Flextronics
        International Kft. FIUI and each of the other Material Subsidiaries is a
        Subsidiary of FIL.

             (p) Solvency, Etc. Each of the Borrowers and their Material
        Subsidiaries is Solvent and, after the execution and delivery of the
        Credit Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
        thereby, will be Solvent.

             (q) Senior Debt. Borrowers have taken all actions necessary for the
        Obligations to constitute "Designated Senior Debt" for the purposes of
        and as defined in the Subordinated Indenture. Borrowers shall take all
        additional actions that may be necessary for the Obligations to continue
        at all times to constitute "Designated Senior Debt" or otherwise to be
        entitled to all the benefits of any senior debt under all Subordinated
        Indentures.

             (r) No Withholding, Etc. No Borrower or Guarantor is required by
        any Governmental Rule to make any deduction or withholding of any nature
        whatsoever from any payment required to be made by any Borrowers or any
        or Guarantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document. Neither this
        Agreement nor any of the other Credit Documents is subject to any
        registration or stamp tax or any other similar or like taxes payable in
        any jurisdiction.

             (s) Foreign Subsidiaries.

                    (i) No Immunities, etc. Each Foreign Subsidiary that is a
             Borrower or Guarantor is subject to civil and commercial law with
             respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other
             Credit Documents, and the execution, delivery and performance by
             each such Foreign Subsidiary of this Agreement and the other Credit
             Documents constitute and will constitute private and commercial
             acts and not public or governmental acts. Neither such Foreign
             Subsidiary nor any of its property, whether or not held for its own
             account, has any immunity (sovereign or other similar immunity)
             from any suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from
             set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment
             prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment,
             execution of judgment or other similar immunity) under laws of the
             jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and
             existing in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and the
             other Credit Documents. Each such Foreign Subsidiary has waived
             every immunity (sovereign or otherwise) to which it or any of its
             properties would otherwise be entitled from any legal action, suit
             or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court and from set-off or
             any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to
             judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of
             judgment or otherwise) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
             such Foreign Subsidiary is organized and existing in respect of its
             obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
             The waiver by each such Foreign Subsidiary described in the
             immediately preceding sentence is the legal, valid and binding
             obligation of such Foreign Subsidiary.

                    (ii) No Recordation Necessary. This Agreement and each of
             the other Credit Documents executed by a Foreign Subsidiary is in
             proper legal form under the law of the jurisdiction in which such
             Foreign Subsidiary is organized and existing for the enforcement
             hereof or thereof against such Foreign Subsidiary under the law of
             such jurisdiction, and to ensure the legality, validity,
             enforceability, priority or admissibility in evidence of this
             Agreement and such other Credit Documents. It is not necessary to
             ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority or
             admissibility in evidence of this Agreement or any other Credit
             Document executed by a Foreign Subsidiary that this Agreement, any
             other Credit Document or any other document be filed, registered or
             recorded with, or executed or notarized before, any court or other
             authority in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary is
             organized and existing or that any registration charge or stamp or
             similar tax be paid on or in respect of this Agreement, any other
             Credit Document or any other document, except for any such filing,
             registration or recording, or

                                       37
<PAGE>   42

             execution or notarization, as has been made or is not required to
             be made until this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any
             other document is sought to be enforced and for any charge or tax
             as has been timely paid.

                    (iii) Exchange Controls. The execution, delivery and
             performance by each Borrower of this Agreement and each of the
             other Credit Documents executed by a Foreign Subsidiary is, under
             applicable foreign exchange control regulations of the jurisdiction
             in which each such Borrower or Foreign Subsidiary is organized and
             existing, not subject to any notification or authorization except
             (A) such as have been made or obtained or (B) such as cannot be
             made or obtained until a later date (provided any notification or
             authorization described in immediately preceding clause (B) shall
             be made or obtained as soon as is reasonably practicable).

             (t) No Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred and no
        condition exists which is reasonably and substantially likely to have a
        Material Adverse Effect.

             (u) Accuracy of Information Furnished. The Credit Documents and the
        other certificates, statements and information (excluding projections)
        furnished to Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of Borrowers and their
        Subsidiaries in connection with the Credit Documents and the
        transactions contemplated thereby, taken as a whole, do not contain and
        will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit
        and will not omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
        statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
        made, not misleading. All projections have been based upon reasonable
        assumptions and represent, as of their respective dates of
        presentations, Borrowers' best estimates of the future performance of
        Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.

        4.02. Reaffirmation. Each Borrower shall be deemed to have reaffirmed,
for the benefit of Lenders and Agent, each representation and warranty contained
in Paragraph 4.01 on and as of the date of each Credit Event (except for
representations and warranties expressly made as of a specified date, which
shall be true as of such date).

SECTION V. COVENANTS.

        5.01. Affirmative Covenants. Until the termination of this Agreement and
the satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all Obligations, Borrowers will comply,
and will cause compliance, with the following affirmative covenants, unless
Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing:

             (a) Financial Statements, Reports, etc. Each Borrower shall furnish
        to Agent the following, each in such form and such detail as Agent or

             treasurer or controller of FIL to present fairly in all material
             respects the financial condition, results of operations and other
             information reflected therein and to have been prepared in
             accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end audit
             adjustments);

                    (ii) As soon as available and in no event later than ninety
             (90) days after the close of each fiscal year of FIL, (A) copies of

             national standing reasonably acceptable to Agent, (B) copies of the

             to Agent) and (C) if available from such accountants, certificates
             of such accountants to Agent stating that in making the examination
             necessary for their opinion they have reviewed this Agreement and

             continuing, or if, in the opinion of such accountants, a Default

             (c) Inspections. Each Borrower and their Subsidiaries shall permit
        Agent and each Lender, or any agent or representative thereof, upon
        reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to visit and inspect
        any of the properties and offices of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
        to examine the books and records of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries
        and make copies thereof and to discuss the affairs, finances and
        business of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries with, and to be advised
        as to the same by, their officers, auditors and accountants, all at such
        times and intervals as Agent or any Lender may reasonably request (which
        visits and inspections shall be at the expense of Agent or such Lender
        unless a Default has occurred and is continuing).

        carried from time to time during the term of this Agreement by others
        engaged in substantially the same business as such Person and operating
        in the same geographic area as such Person, including fire, public

        become a Lien upon the property of such Borrower or its Subsidiaries and
        (iii) subject to any subordination provisions applicable thereto, all
        other Indebtedness, which in each case, if unpaid, is reasonably and
        substantially likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except such
        Indebtedness as may in good faith be contested or disputed, or for which
        arrangements for deferred payment have been made, provided that in each
        such case appropriate reserves are maintained in accordance with GAAP.

             (f) Use of Proceeds. Each Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
        Loans only for the respective purposes set forth in Section II. No
        Borrower shall use any part of the proceeds of any Loan, directly or
        indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock
        or for the purpose of purchasing or carrying or trading in any

        reasonably and substantially likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

             (h) Pari Passu Ranking. Each Borrower shall take, or cause to be
        taken, all actions necessary to ensure that the Obligations of such
        Borrower are and continue to rank at least pari passu in right of
        payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of such
        Borrower.

        5.02. Negative Covenants. Until the termination of this Agreement and

             improvement by such Person of real property, fixtures or equipment
             provided that in each case (1) such Indebtedness is incurred by
             such Person at the time of, or not later than ninety (90) days
             after, the acquisition by such Person of the property so financed
             and (2) such Indebtedness does not exceed the purchase price of the
             property (or the cost of constructing, developing or improving the
             same) so financed, and (B) Indebtedness under initial or successive
             refinancings of any such Capital Leases or purchase money loans

             Subsidiary, in each case to the extent otherwise permitted pursuant
             to Subparagraph 5.02(e) and Subparagraph 5.02(i); and

                    (v) Other Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on any

             Subsidiaries, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all
             secured Indebtedness (other than Existing Secured Indebtedness or

        shall be rendered against Borrowers and/or their Subsidiaries in

Lenders to make Loans and/or (b) declare all outstanding Obligations payable by
Borrowers to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest
or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived,
anything contained herein or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon

the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of
Default, Agent may exercise any other right, power or remedy available to it
under any of the Credit Documents or otherwise by law, either by suit in equity
or by action at law, or both.

        6.03. Lender Rate Contract Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section VI, each Lender or its Affiliate which has entered into a Lender

approval or consent of Agent or any other Lender, (a) to declare an event of
default, termination event or other similar event thereunder which will result
in the early termination of such Lender Rate Contract, (b) to determine net
termination amounts in accordance with the terms of such Lender Rate Contract
and to set-off amounts between Lender Rate Contracts of such Lender, and (c) to
prosecute any legal action against any Borrower or its Subsidiaries to enforce
net amounts owing to such Lender or its Affiliate under such Lender Rate
Contracts.

SECTION VII. THE AGENT AND RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS.

        7.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints
and authorizes Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any
other Credit Document, be a trustee for any Lender or have any fiduciary duty to
any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein Agent
shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or
any other Credit Document or any applicable Governmental Rule. Neither Agent nor
any Lender shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, for
the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure by any
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to perform their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall
not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any such
agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Agent
nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be
responsible to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or
them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or
therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, Agent shall take such action
with respect to the Credit Documents as shall be directed by the Required
Lenders.

                                       47
<PAGE>   52

        7.02. Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile
or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other
experts selected by Agent with reasonable care. As to any other matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement, Agent shall not be required to take
any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to
refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders and shall in all
cases be fully protected by Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions
of the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of
Lenders.

        7.03. Defaults. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
the occurrence of any Default unless Agent has received a written notice from a
Lender or any Borrower, referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and
stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". If Agent receives such a
notice of the occurrence of a Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that until Agent
shall have received such directions, 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 in the best interest of Lenders.

        7.04. Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of Borrowers
hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent, ratably in accordance with
their Proportionate Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the
terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for
any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in
continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by 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
obligations of each Lender under this Paragraph 7.04 shall survive the payment
and performance of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and any
Lender ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events which
occurred prior to the time such Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder).

        7.05. Non-Reliance. Each Lender represents that it has, independently
and without reliance on Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the
business, prospects, management, financial condition and affairs of Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and
agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement. Neither Agent nor any of its affiliates nor
any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall
(a) be required to keep any Lender informed as to the performance or observance
by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the obligations under this
Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make
inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries; (b) have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
which may come into the possession of Agent, except for notices, reports and
other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by
Agent hereunder; or (c) be responsible to any Lender for (i) any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any officer,
employee or agent of any Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other
Credit Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Credit Document, (iii)
the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or the validity or perfection of any
of the liens or security interests intended to be created by the Credit
Documents, or (iv) any failure by any Borrower to perform its obligations under
this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

        7.06. Resignation or Removal of Agent. Agent may resign at any time by
giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Borrowers and Lenders,
and Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required
Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have
the right to appoint a successor Agent, which Agent, if not a Lender, shall be
reasonably acceptable to Borrowers; provided, however, that

                                       48
<PAGE>   53

Borrowers shall have no right to approve a successor Agent if a Default has
occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from the duties and
obligations thereafter arising hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation
or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section VII shall continue
in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was acting as Agent.

        7.07. Agent in its Individual Capacity. Agent and its affiliates may
make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking
or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and affiliates as though
Agent were not Agent hereunder. With respect to Loans, if any, made by Agent in
its capacity as a Lender, Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the
terms "Lender" or "Lenders" shall include Agent in its capacity as a Lender.

        7.08. Documentation Agent, Managing Agents and Co-Agent. Documentation
Agent, Managing Agents and Co-Agent do not assume any responsibility or
obligation under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any
duties as agents for the Lenders. The title "Documentation Agent", "Managing
Agent" and "Co-Agent" implies no fiduciary responsibility on the part of any
Documentation Agent, Managing Agent and Co-Agent to any Person, and the use of
such title does not impose on any Documentation Agent, Managing Agent and
Co-Agent any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other
Credit Documents.

Each Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Interest Period Selection and Notice of Term
Loan Conversion shall be given by the applicable Borrower to Agent's New York
office located at the address referred to above during such office's normal
business hours; provided, however, that any such notice received by Agent after
11:00 a.m. (California time) on any Business Day shall be deemed received by
Agent on the next Business Day. In any case where this Agreement authorizes
notices, requests, demands or other communications by Borrowers to Agent or any
Lender to be made by telephone or facsimile, Agent or any Lender may
conclusively presume that anyone purporting to be a person designated in any
incumbency certificate or other similar document received by Agent or a Lender
is such a person.

        8.02. Expenses. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay on demand,
whether or not any Loan is made hereunder, (a) all reasonable fees and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Agent in
connection with the syndication of the Loans, the preparation, negotiation,
execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and
delivery of amendments and waivers hereunder and thereunder and (b) all
reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
incurred by Agent and Lenders in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of any
of the Obligations or in preserving any of Agent's or Lenders' rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any "workout" or restructuring affecting the Credit Documents or
the Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries). As used herein, the term "reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses" shall include, without limitation, allocable costs and
expenses of Agent's and Lenders' in-house legal counsel and staff. The
obligations of Borrowers under this Paragraph 8.02 shall survive the payment and
performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

        8.03. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrowers
jointly and severally agree to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents and advisors ("Indemnitees") from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages or expenses of any kind or nature and from any
suits, claims or demands (including in respect of or for reasonable attorney's
fees and other expenses) arising on account of or in connection with any matter
or thing or action or failure to act by Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out
of or relating to the Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby,
including without limitation any use by any Borrower of any proceeds of the
Loans, except to the extent such liability arises from the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of such Indemnitee. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim
or demand asserted by a third party that Agent or any Lender believes is covered
by this indemnity, Agent or such Lender shall give Borrowers notice of the
matter and an opportunity to defend it, at Borrowers' sole cost and expense,
with legal counsel satisfactory to Agent or such Lender, as the case may be.
Agent or such Lender may also require Borrowers to defend the matter. Any
failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to notify Borrowers of any such suit,
claim or demand shall not relieve Borrowers of their obligations under this
Paragraph 8.03 but shall reduce such obligations to the extent of any increase
in those obligations caused solely by any such failure or delay which is
unreasonable. The obligations of Borrowers under this Paragraph 8.03 shall
survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of
this Agreement.

        8.04. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended or waived, and any
consent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be given, if such
amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and is signed by Borrowers and the
Required Lenders (or Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders with the written
approval of the Required Lenders); provided, however that:

             (a) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) increase the
        Total Facility A Commitment, (ii) postpone, delay or extend the Facility
        A Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (iii) reduce the

                                       50
<PAGE>   55

        principal of or interest on the Facility A Loans, the Facility A
        Commitment Fees or any other fees or amounts payable for the account of
        all Facility A Lenders hereunder or postpone, delay or extend the
        scheduled date for payment of any such principal, interest, fees or
        amounts must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all
        Facility A Lenders;

             (b) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) increase the
        Total Facility B Commitment, (ii) postpone, delay or extend the Facility
        B Revolving Loan Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, (iii)
        reduce the principal of or interest on the Facility B Loans, the
        Facility B Commitment Fees or any other fees or amounts payable for the
        account of all Facility B Lenders hereunder or postpone, delay or extend
        the scheduled date for payment of any such principal, interest, fees or
        amounts must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all
        Facility B Lenders;

             (c) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) reduce the
        principal of or interest on the Loans or any fees or other amounts
        payable for the account of all Lenders hereunder or extend the scheduled
        date for payment of any such principal, interest, fees or amounts, (ii)
        reduce any fees or other amounts payable for the account of all Lenders
        hereunder or postpone, delay or extend the scheduled date for payment of
        any such fees or amounts, (iii) amend this Paragraph 8.04, (iv) amend
        the definition of Required Lenders, or (v) release any substantial part
        of the Collateral or any Guarantor (except for releases as provided in
        Paragraph 2.15), must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by
        all Lenders;

             (d) Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) increase or
        decrease the Facility A Commitment of any Facility A Lender (except for
        a pro rata decrease in the Facility A Commitments of all Facility A
        Lenders) or (ii) increase or decrease the Facility B Commitment of any
        Facility B Lender (except for a pro rata decrease in the Facility B
        Commitments of all Facility B Lenders) must be in writing and signed by
        such Lender; and

             (e) Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or
        obligations of Agent must be in writing and signed by Agent.

No failure or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising any right under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of
any other right hereunder or thereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other
right hereunder or thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or
consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

        8.05. Successors and Assigns.

             (a) Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents
        shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Lenders,
        Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors
        and permitted assigns, except that any Borrower may not assign or
        transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Credit Document
        without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

             (b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more
        banks or other financial institutions ("Participants") participating
        interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such
        Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such
        Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. In the event
        of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests, such Lender's
        obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender
        shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender
        shall remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes under this
        Agreement and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and
        directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
        obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any
        such sale is effected may require the selling Lender to obtain the
        consent of the Participant in order for such Lender to agree in writing
        to any amendment, waiver or consent of a type specified in Subparagraph
        8.04(a), Subparagraph 8.04(b), Subparagraph 8.04(c) or Subparagraph
        8.04(d) to the extent applicable but may not otherwise require the
        selling Lender to obtain the consent of such Participant to any other
        amendment, waiver or consent hereunder. Borrowers also agree that any
        Lender which has transferred any participating interest in its
        Commitments or Loans shall, notwithstanding any such transfer,

                                       51
<PAGE>   56

        be entitled to the full benefits accorded such Lender under Paragraph
        2.12, Paragraph 2.13, and Paragraph 2.14, as if such Lender had not made
        such transfer.

             (c) Assignments. Any Lender may, at any time, sell and assign to
        any other Lender or any Eligible Assignee (individually, an "Assignee
        Lender") all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
        Agreement and the other Credit Documents (such a sale and assignment to
        be referred to herein as an "Assignment") pursuant to an assignment
        agreement in the form of Exhibit F (an "Assignment Agreement"), executed
        by each Assignee Lender and such assignor Lender (an "Assignor Lender")
        and delivered to Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register;
        provided, however, that:

                    (i) Without the written consent of Agent and, if no Default
             has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of Agent and FIL
             shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Lender may make any
             Assignment of its Commitment or Loans to any Assignee Lender which
             is not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a Lender hereunder or
             an Affiliate thereof;

                    (ii) Without the written consent of Agent and, if no Default
             has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of Agent and FIL
             shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Facility A Lender may make
             any Assignment of its Facility A Commitment and Facility A Loans to
             any Assignee Lender if, after giving effect to such Assignment, the
             Facility A Commitment (or, after the termination of the Facility A
             Commitments, the Facility A Loans) of such Lender or such Assignee
             Lender would be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), except
             that a Facility A Lender may make an Assignment which reduces its
             Facility A Commitment (or, after the termination of the Facility A
             Commitments, its Facility A Loans) to zero without the written
             consent of FIL and Administrative Agent;

                    (iii) Without the written consent of Agent and, if no
             Default has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of Agent
             and FIL shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Facility B Lender
             may make any Assignment of its Facility B Commitment and Facility B
             Loans to any Assignee Lender if, after giving effect to such
             Assignment, the Facility B Commitment (or, after the termination of
             the Facility B Commitments, the Facility B Loans) of such Lender or
             such Assignee Lender would be less than Five Million Dollars
             ($5,000,000), except that a Facility B Lender may make an
             Assignment which reduces its Facility B Commitment (or, after the
             termination of the Facility B Commitments, its Facility B Loans) to
             zero without the written consent of FIL and Administrative Agent;

                    (iv) Without the written consent of Agent and, if no Default
             has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of Agent and FIL
             shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Facility A Lender may make
             any Assignment of its Facility A Commitment and Facility A Loans
             which does not assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in
             such Facility A Lender's Facility A Commitment, Facility A Loans
             and all other rights, duties and obligations of such Facility A
             Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents relating
             to Facility A;

                    (v) Without the written consent of Agent and, if no Default
             has occurred and is continuing, FIL (which consent of Agent and FIL
             shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Facility B Lender may make
             any Assignment of its Facility B Commitment and Facility B Loans
             which does not assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in
             such Facility B Lender's Facility B Commitment, Facility B Loans
             and all other rights, duties and obligations of such Facility B
             Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents relating
             to Facility B; and

                    (vi) Any Assignor Lender which is, or which has an Affiliate
             which is, a party to a Lender Rate Contract may not make an
             Assignment of all of its Commitments or all of its Loans to an
             Assignee Lender unless such Assignee Lender or its Affiliate shall
             also assume all obligations of such Assignor Lender or its
             Affiliate with respect to such Lender Rate Contract.

        Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each
        Assignment Agreement, from and after the Assignment Effective Date
        determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (A) each Assignee

                                       52
<PAGE>   57

        Lender thereunder shall be a Lender hereunder with Commitments or Loans
        as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement (under the
        caption "Commitments or Loans After Assignment") and shall have the
        rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under this Agreement and
        the other Credit Documents, and (B) the Assignor Lender thereunder shall
        be a Lender with Commitments or Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to
        such Assignment Agreement (under the caption "Commitments or Loans After
        Assignment"), or, if the Commitments or Loans of the Assignor Lender
        have been reduced to zero, the Assignor Lender shall cease to be a
        Lender and to have any obligation to make any Loan; provided, however,
        that any such Assignor Lender which ceases to be a Lender shall continue
        to be entitled to the benefits of any provision of this Agreement which
        by its terms survives the termination of this Agreement. Each Assignment
        Agreement shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and only to
        the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender,
        the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduces its Commitments or
        Loans to zero, and the resulting adjustment of Commitments or Loans
        arising from the purchase by each Assignee Lender of all or a portion of
        the rights and obligations of an Assignor Lender under this Agreement
        and the other Credit Documents. On or prior to the Assignment Effective
        Date determined pursuant to each Assignment Agreement, Borrowers, at
        their own expense, shall, if requested by Assignee Lenders, execute and
        deliver to Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Notes, if any, of the
        Assignor Lender thereunder, new Notes to the order of each Assignee
        Lender thereunder and, if the Assignor Lender is continuing as a Lender
        hereunder, new Notes to the order of the Assignor Lender. The Notes
        surrendered by the Assignor Lender shall be returned by Agent to
        Borrowers marked "replaced". Each Assignee Lender which becomes a Lender
        and was not previously such a Lender hereunder shall, prior to becoming
        such a Lender, deliver such certificates and other evidence as is
        required by Subparagraph 2.13(b).

             (d) Register. Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
        Paragraph 8.01 a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a
        register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses
        of Lenders and the Commitments or Loans of each Lender from time to
        time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of
        manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person
        whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Commitments
        or Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The
        Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender
        at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
        notice.

             (e) Registration. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement
        executed by an Assignor Lender and an Assignee Lender (and, to the
        extent required by Subparagraph 8.05(c), by Borrowers and Agent)
        together with payment to Agent by Assignor Lender of a registration and
        processing fee of $3,000, Agent shall (i) promptly accept such
        Assignment Agreement and (ii) on the Effective Date determined pursuant
        thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and
        give notice of such acceptance and recordation to Lenders and Borrowers.
        Agent may, from time to time at its election, prepare and deliver to
        Lenders and Borrowers a revised Schedule I reflecting the names,
        addresses and respective Commitments or Loans of all Lenders then
        parties hereto.

             (f) Confidentiality. Subject to Paragraph 8.12, Agent and Lenders
        may disclose the Credit Documents and any financial or other information
        relating to Borrowers or any Subsidiary to each other or to any
        potential Participant or Assignee Lender.

             (g) Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks. Notwithstanding any other
        provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or a
        portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Credit
        Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall relieve
        the assigning Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the
        other Credit Documents.

        8.06. Setoff; Security Interest.

             (a) Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders
        provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior
        consent of Agent but without prior notice to or consent of Borrowers,
        any such notice and consent being expressly waived by Borrowers to the
        extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the
        continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against the
        Obligations of any Borrower any amount owing from such Lender to such
        Borrower. The aforesaid

                                       53
<PAGE>   58

        right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against a Borrower or
        against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for
        the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment
        creditor of such Borrower or against anyone else claiming through or
        against such Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in
        possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or
        execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact
        that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at
        any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable
        Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender,
        provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
        validity of such set-off and application.

             (b) Security Interest. As security for the Obligations, each
        Borrower hereby grants to Agent and each Lender, for the benefit of all
        Lenders, a continuing security interest in any and all deposit accounts
        or moneys of such Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender.
        Each Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party with respect
        to such security interest.

        8.07. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns
hereunder, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.

        8.08. Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this Agreement
is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or
any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

        8.09. Jury Trial. EACH OF BORROWERS, LENDERS AND AGENT, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR
COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT.

        8.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

        8.11. Borrowers' Liabilities. All Borrowers are jointly and severally
liable for the payment and performance of all other Obligations under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and Borrowers also are liable for the
payment and performance of all Obligations under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents as provided in the Guaranty.

        8.12. Confidentiality. Neither any Lender nor Agent shall disclose to
any Person any information with respect to Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or under the other
Credit Documents, except that any Lender or Agent may disclose any such
information (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, auditors, counsel and
other advisors and to its Affiliates; (b) to any other Lender or Agent; (c)
which is otherwise available to the public; (d) if required or appropriate in
any report, statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental Authority
having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or Agent; (e) if
required in response to any summons or subpoena; (f) in connection with any
enforcement by Lenders and Agent of their rights under this Agreement or the
other Credit Documents or any litigation among the parties relating to the
Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby; (g) to comply with
any Requirement of Law applicable to such Lender or Agent; (h) to any Assignee
Lender or Participant or any prospective Assignee Lender or Participant,
provided that such Assignee Lender or Participant or prospective Assignee Lender
or Participant agrees to be bound by this Paragraph 8.12; or (i) otherwise with
the prior consent of the applicable Borrower; provided, however, that (i) any
Lender or Agent served with any summons or subpoena demanding the disclosure of
any such information shall use reasonable efforts to notify Borrowers promptly
of such summons or subpoena if not prohibited by any Requirement of Law and, if
requested by Borrowers and not disadvantageous to such Lender or Agent, to
cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining a protective order restricting such
disclosure, and (ii) any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall
not affect the obligations of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

        8.13. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Borrower irrevocably submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and the
courts of the United States of America located in the Northern District of
California and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may be
brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment against any
Borrower in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or
exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in
any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Subparagraph 8.13 shall affect
the right of Agent or any Lender to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue
any Borrower in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than
one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon any
Borrower in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. Each
Borrower agrees that process served either personally or by registered mail
shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitute adequate service of process in
any such suit. Without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower hereby appoints, in
the case of any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of or in the
State of California, CT Corporation, with offices on the date hereof at 818 West
Seventh Street, Los Angeles, California 90017, to receive for it and on its
behalf, service of process in the State of California with respect thereto,
provided each Borrower may appoint any other person, reasonably acceptable to
Agent, with offices in the State of California to replace such agent for service
of process upon delivery to Agent of a reasonably acceptable agreement of such
new agent agreeing so to act. Each Borrower irrevocably waives to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law (a) any objection which it may have now or in
the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in
any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such
action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its
right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the
State of California to any court of the United States of America; (d) any
immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under
this Agreement or any other Credit Document from any suit, execution, attachment
(whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or
otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the
moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts
referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Credit Document to post security for the costs of such Borrower or to post
a bond or to take similar action.

        8.14. Usury. In no event shall any provision of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document ever obligate any Borrower to pay or allow any Lender to
collect interest on any Loan or any other Obligation of a Borrower hereunder at
a rate greater than the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by applicable law
(herein referred to as the "highest lawful rate"), or obligate any Borrower to
pay any taxes, assessments, charges, insurance premiums or other amounts to the
extent that such payments, when added to the interest payable on the Loans or
any other Obligations, would be held to constitute the payment by a Borrower of
interest at a rate greater than the highest lawful rate. This provision shall
control over any provision to the contrary. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, in the event the maturity of all or any part of the principal
amount of the Obligations of a Borrower shall be accelerated for any reason,
then such principal amount so accelerated shall be credited with any interest
theretofore paid thereon in advance and remaining unearned at the time of such
acceleration. If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any funds are applied
to the payment of any part of the principal amount of the Obligations of a
Borrower prior to the maturity thereof, then (a) any interest which would
otherwise thereafter accrue on the principal amount so paid by such application
shall be canceled, and (b) the Obligations of such Borrower remaining unpaid
after such application shall be credited with the amount of all interest, if
any, theretofore collected on the principal amount so paid by such application
and remaining unearned at the date of said application; and if the funds so
applied shall be sufficient to pay in full all the Obligations of such Borrower,
then the Lenders shall refund to such Borrower all interest theretofore paid
thereon in advance and remaining unearned at the time of such acceleration.
Regardless of any other provision in this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, no Borrower shall be required to pay any unearned interest on any
Obligations or any portion thereof, or be required to pay interest thereon at a
rate in excess of the highest lawful rate construed by courts having competent
jurisdiction thereof.

        8.15. Hong Kong Branch; Full Recourse Obligations. All Loans to FIL
shall be made to FIL at its Hong Kong branch located at Room 908 Dominion
Center, 43-59 Queens Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong and all payments of principal
and interest by FIL will be made through its Hong Kong branch, provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, FIL acknowledges that the
Obligations hereunder are full recourse to Flextronics International Ltd., a
Singapore corporation, and are in no manner limited to any extent to any branch
thereof and shall in no manner impair the Agent's or any Lender's ability to
collect any Obligation from FIL.

        8.16. Effect . On the Closing Date and upon the repayment in full of all
existing monetary obligations outstanding under the Existing FIL Credit
Agreement, (a) the Existing FIL Credit Agreement as well as the Existing FIL
Credit Documents shall be terminated and deemed to have been replaced by this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and (b) all Liens created pursuant to
the Existing FIL Credit Agreement and the other FIL Credit Documents shall
terminate and be released; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall have any effect on Borrower's obligations to pay amounts (if any) payable
under Subparagraph 2.10(c), Subparagraph 2.10(d), Subparagraph 2.11(a),
Paragraph 2.12, Paragraph 8.02, or Paragraph 8.03 of the Existing FIL Credit
Agreement which by their terms expressly provide that they shall survive the
payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of the Existing
FIL Credit Agreement. Agent (as agent under the Existing FIL Credit Agreement),
from time to time, upon request by FIL shall, without further consideration
other than reimbursement for any costs and expenses, execute, deliver and
acknowledge all such documents, agreements, certificates and instruments and do
such acts as FIL may reasonably require to more effectively evidence or
effectuate the termination of such Liens.

</TABLE>

                                   EXPLANATION

1.      The Applicable Margin For Base Rate Borrowings, Base Rate Portions,
        LIBOR Borrowings, LIBOR Portions, the Facility A Commitment Fee
        Percentage and the Facility B Commitment Fee Percentage will be set for
        each Pricing Period and will vary depending upon whether such period is
        a Level 1 Period, a Level 2 Period, a Level 3 Period, a Level 4 Period,
        a Level 5 Period or a Level 6 Period (each a "Pricing Period Level").
        The applicable Pricing Period Level will be determined based on FIL's
        corresponding Debt/EBITDA Ratio for the immediately preceding
        consecutive four-quarter period.

2.      The first Pricing Period, which commences on the date of this Agreement
        and ends 45 days after the quarter ended June 30, 2000, will be a Level
        4 Period.

3.      The second Pricing Period, which commences 45 days after the end of June
        30, 2000 calendar quarter and ends 45 days after the quarter ended
        September 30, 2000, will be a Level 1 Period, a Level 2 Period, a Level
        3 Period, a Level 4 Period, a Level 5 Period or a Level 6 Period,
        depending upon FIL's Debt/EBITDA Ratio for the consecutive four-quarter
        period ending on June 30, 2000.

4.      Each Pricing Period thereafter will commence 45 days after the end of
        the immediately preceding quarter and will end 45 days after the end of
        the next applicable quarter and will be a Level 1 Period, a Level 2
        Period, a Level 3 Period, a Level 4 Period, a Level 5 Period or a Level
        6 Period depending upon FIL's Debt/EBITDA Ratio for the consecutive
        four-quarter period ending on the last day of the immediately preceding
        quarter.

5.      Level 2 pricing will apply during any Pricing Period (other than the
        first Pricing Period) in which FIL's senior unsecured long-term debt
        rating from S&P or Moody's is equal to or better than either BBB- or
        Baa3. Such pricing adjustment (if any) occurring as a result of such
        debt rating will take place after FIL notifies Agent that such debt
        rating has been achieved, and will continue until such debt rating drops
        below BBB- or Baa3 in which case the pricing will be calculated as set
        forth above.

6.      Examples:

               (a) FIL's Debt/EBITDA Ratio is 1.76 for the consecutive
        four-quarter period ending on June 30, 2000, and FIL's senior unsecured
        long-term debt rating from S&P or Moody's is less than either BBB- of
        Baa3. The Pricing Period commencing 45 days after the quarter ended June
        30, 2000 through the date which is 45 days after the quarter ended
        September 30, 2000 will be a Level 3 Period, and the Applicable Margin
        for LIBOR Borrowings and the LIBOR Portions during such Pricing Period
        will be 0.875%.

               (b) FIL's Debt/EBITDA Ratio is 2.10 for the consecutive
        four-quarter period ending on September 30, 2000, and FIL's senior
        unsecured long-term debt rating from S&P or Moody's is less than either
        BBB- of Baa3. The Pricing Period commencing 45 days after the quarter
        ended September 30, 2000 through the date which is 45 days after the
        quarter ended December 31, 2000 will be a Level 4 Period, and the
        Applicable Margin for LIBOR Borrowings and the LIBOR Portions during
        such Pricing Period will be 1.000%.

               (c) FIL's senior unsecured long-term debt rating from S&P or
        Moody's is at least equal to BBB- or Baa3. Commencing after FIL notifies
        Agent that such debt rating has been achieved, Level 2 Period pricing
        will apply, and the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Borrowings and the LIBOR
        Portions during such Pricing Period will be 0.7500%.

               (b)Other Interpretive Provisions. The rules of construction set
        forth in Section I of the Credit Agreement shall, to the extent not
        inconsistent with the terms of this Guaranty, apply to this Guaranty and
        are hereby incorporated by reference. Each Guarantor acknowledges
        receipt of copies of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit
        Documents.

        2. GUARANTY.

               (a) Payment Guaranty. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees
        and promises to pay and perform as and when due, whether at stated
        maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, any and all of the Guaranteed
        Obligations. If any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower is
        commenced, each Guarantor further unconditionally guarantees and
        promises to pay and perform, upon the demand of Agent, any and all of
        the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Disallowed
        Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses) in accordance with the terms of
        the Credit Documents, whether or not such obligations are then due and
        payable by any Guarantor and whether or not such obligations are
        modified, reduced or discharged in such Debtor Relief Proceeding. This
        Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

               (b) Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable
        continuing guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall continue
        in effect until all obligations of Lenders to extend credit to all
        Borrowers have terminated and all of the Guaranteed Obligations have
        been fully paid. If any payment on any Guaranteed Obligation is set
        aside, avoided or rescinded or otherwise recovered from Agent or any
        Lender, such recovered payment shall constitute a Guaranteed Obligation
        hereunder and, if this Guaranty was previously released or terminated,
        it automatically shall be fully reinstated, as if such payment was never
        made.

               (c) Joint, Several and Independent Obligations. The liability of
        each Guarantor hereunder is joint and several and is independent of the
        Guaranteed Obligations. A separate action or actions may be brought and
        prosecuted against each Guarantor for the full amount of the Guaranteed
        Obligations irrespective of whether action is brought against any
        Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
        Obligations or whether any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
        guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations is joined in any such action or
        actions.

               (d) Fraudulent Transfer Limitation. If, in any action to enforce
        this Guaranty, any court of competent jurisdiction determines that
        enforcement against any Guarantor for the full amount of the Guaranteed
        Obligations is not lawful under or would be subject to avoidance under
        Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable
        provision of any comparable law of any state or other jurisdiction, the
        liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the
        maximum amount lawful and not subject to such avoidance.

               (e) Termination. Notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty
        in accordance with Paragraph 3 hereof, this Guaranty shall continue to
        be in full force and effect and applicable to any Guaranteed Obligations
        arising thereafter which arise because prior payments of Guaranteed
        Obligations are rescinded or otherwise required to be surrendered by
        Agent or any Lender after receipt.

        3. AUTHORIZATIONS, WAIVERS, ETC.

        any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations

                Obligations; and

                        (v) Assign the Guaranteed Obligations, this Guaranty or

                provided in the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

                (b) Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby waives:

                Obligations or otherwise marshal the assets of any Borrower,

                        (iii) Any defense resulting from the absence, impairment
                or loss of any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution
                or other right or remedy of Guarantor against any Borrower, any
                other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
                Obligations or any security, whether resulting from an election
                by Agent or any Lender to foreclose upon security by nonjudicial
                sale, or otherwise;

                        (iv) Any setoff or counterclaim of any Borrower or any

                any Borrower or the cessation or stay of enforcement from any
                cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower (including,
                without limitation, the lack of validity or enforceability of

        otherwise, (B) all rights and defenses such Guarantor may have by reason

               (d) Financial Condition of Borrowers, Etc. Each Guarantor is
        fully aware of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower.
        Each Guarantor has executed this Guaranty without reliance upon any
        representation, warranty, statement or information concerning any
        Borrower furnished to such Guarantor by Agent or any Lender and has,
        independently and without reliance on Agent or any Lender, and based on
        such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
        own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower
        and of other circumstances affecting the risk of nonpayment or
        nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor is in a
        position to obtain, and assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any
        additional information about the financial condition and affairs of each
        Borrower and of other circumstances affecting the risk of nonpayment or
        nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations and will, independently and
        without reliance upon Agent or any Lender, and based on such documents
        and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
        make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action in
        connection with this Guaranty.

        4. SUBORDINATION. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts,
liabilities and obligations owed to such Guarantor by each Borrower (the
"Subordinated Obligations") to the Guaranteed Obligations as provided in this
Paragraph 4.

               (a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of a
        Default (including the commencement and continuation of any Debtor
        Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower), each Guarantor may receive
        regularly scheduled payments from any Borrower on account of
        Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the
        continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation
        of any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower), however,
        unless Agent otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take
        any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated
        Obligations.

               (b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any Debtor Relief
        Proceeding relating to any Borrower, each Guarantor agrees that Agent
        and Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment of all Guaranteed
        Obligations (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest
        and Expenses) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated
        Obligations.

               (c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of
        any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any Debtor
        Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower), each Guarantor shall, if
        Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of
        the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for Agent and Lenders and
        deliver such payments to Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations
        (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and
        Expenses), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments
        of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the
        liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

               (d) Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the
        continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation
        of any Debtor Relief Proceeding relating to any Borrower), Agent is
        authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its
        discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce,
        and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to
        apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations
        (including any and all Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and
        Expenses), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and
        enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations
        and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to Agent for
        application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all
        Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses).

        5. CONTRIBUTION AMONG GUARANTORS. Guarantors desire to allocate among
themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their rights of contribution from
each other when any payment is made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Accordingly, if any payment is made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty (a
"Funding Guarantor") that exceeds its Fair Share, the Funding Guarantor shall be
entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in the amount of such other
Guarantor's Fair Share Shortfall, so that all such contributions shall cause
each Guarantor's Aggregate Guaranty Payments to equal its Fair Share. The
amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined by the Funding
Guarantor as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by
the Funding Guarantor, and such determination shall be binding on the other
Guarantors absent manifest error. The

                                       6
<PAGE>   98

allocation and right of contribution among Guarantors set forth in this
Paragraph 5 shall not be construed to limit in any way the liability of any
Guarantor under this Guaranty or the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.

        6. MISCELLANEOUS.

                (a) Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices,
        requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or

        Documents shall be in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered, if to

        class postage prepaid and addressed through the United States Postal

                (b) Payments.

                        (i) Each Guarantor shall make all payments of the
                Guaranteed Obligations to Agent, or its order, at the office of
                Agent and at the times specified in the Credit Documents for the
                payment of such Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor shall
                make all other payments hereunder at such office as Agent may
                designate. Each payment shall be made in same day or immediately
                available funds not later than 11:00 a.m.(local time of the
                office of Agent at which such payment is to be made) on the date
                due.

                        (ii) Each Guarantor shall make all payments of the
                Guaranteed Obligations hereunder in the currency in which such
                Guaranteed Obligations are required to be paid by any Borrower
                pursuant to the Credit Documents and shall make all other
                payments hereunder in Dollars; provided, however, that, if Agent
                shall request a Guarantor to pay any amount hereunder which
                would otherwise be payable in another currency in the lawful
                currency of the United States, such Guarantor shall pay to Agent
                the Dollar Equivalent of such amount.

                        (iii) If any sum due from any Guarantor under this
                Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is
                a party or any order, judgment or award given or rendered in
                relation hereto or thereto has to be converted from the currency
                (the "first currency") in which the same is payable hereunder or
                thereunder into another currency (the "second currency") for the
                purpose of (A) making or filing a claim or proof against such
                Guarantor with any Governmental Authority, (B) obtaining an
                order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (C)
                enforcing any

                                       7
<PAGE>   99

                order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, such
                Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
                indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons to whom such sum
                is due from and against any loss suffered as a result of any
                discrepancy between (1) the rate of exchange used for such
                purpose to convert the amounts in question from the first
                currency into the second currency and (2) the rate or rates of
                exchange at which such Person may, using reasonable efforts in
                the ordinary course of business, purchase the first currency
                with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in
                satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment,
                claim or proof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a
                separate obligation of each Guarantor distinct from its other
                obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or making of
                any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such
                obligations.

                        (iv) If any amounts required to be paid by any Guarantor
                under this Guaranty or any order, judgment or award given or
                rendered in relation hereto remain unpaid after such amounts are
                due, such Guarantor shall pay interest on the aggregate,
                outstanding balance of such amounts from the date due until
                those amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate equal to:

                                (1) In the case of amounts payable in Dollars,
                        the Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%), such rate to
                        change from time to time as the Base Rate shall change.

                                (2) In the case of amounts payable in any other
                        currency, the Overnight Rate for such currency plus
                        three percent (3.0%), such rate to change from time to
                        time as the Overnight Rate shall change.

                (c) Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand (i) all
        reasonable and documented fees and expenses, including reasonable
        attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Agent in connection with the
        preparation, execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties
        under, this Guaranty and the preparation, execution and delivery of
        amendments and waivers hereunder and (ii) all reasonable and documented
        fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
        incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection with the enforcement or
        attempted enforcement of this Guaranty or any of the Guaranteed
        Obligations or in preserving any of Agent's or Lenders' rights and
        remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses
        incurred in connection with any "workout" or restructuring affecting the
        Credit Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations or any bankruptcy or
        similar proceeding involving Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any
        Borrower, or any of their affiliates).

                (d) Waivers; Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended or
        modified, nor may any of its terms be waived, except by written
        instruments signed by each Guarantor and Agent. Each waiver or consent
        under any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific
        instances for the purpose for which given. No failure or delay on
        Agent's or any Lender's part in exercising any right hereunder shall
        operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single
        or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further
        exercise thereof or of any other right.

                (e) Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon
        and inure to the benefit of Agent, Lenders, Guarantors and their
        respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor
        may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under this
        Guaranty without the prior written consent of Agent and Lenders, and,
        provided, further, that Agent or any Lender may sell, assign and
        delegate their respective rights and obligations hereunder only as
        permitted by the Credit Agreement. All references in this Guaranty to
        any Person shall be deemed to include all permitted successors and
        assigns of such Person.

                (f) Cumulative Rights, etc. The rights, powers and remedies of
        Agent and Lenders under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all
        rights, powers and remedies given to Agent and Lenders by virtue of any
        applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, the
        Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, all
        of which rights, powers, and remedies shall be cumulative and may be
        exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Agent's or any
        Lender's rights hereunder. Each Guarantor waives any right to require
        Agent or any Lender to proceed against any Person or to exhaust any
        Collateral or to pursue any remedy in Agent's or such Lender's power.

                (g) Setoff; Security Interest.

                        (i) In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders
                provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the
                prior consent of Agent but without prior notice to or consent of
                any Guarantor, any such notice and consent being expressly
                waived by each Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable
                law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
                of Default, to set-off and apply against the obligations of each
                Guarantor any amount owing from such Lender to such Guarantor.
                The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender
                against a Guarantor or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor
                in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver
                or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of such Guarantor
                or against anyone else claiming through or against such
                Guarantor or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession,
                assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution,
                judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that
                such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender
                at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
                applicable Guarantor after any such set-off and application made
                by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice
                shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

                        (ii) As security for the obligations of each Guarantor
                hereunder, each Guarantor hereby grants to Agent and each
                Lender, for the benefit of all Lenders, a continuing security
                interest in any and all deposit accounts or moneys of such
                Guarantor now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each
                Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party with
                respect to such security interest.

                (h) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments made by each Guarantor
        under this Guaranty shall be made free and clear of, and without
        deduction or withholding for or on account of, all present and future
        Non-Excluded Taxes. If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be
        withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any Lender hereunder, the
        amounts so payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the
        extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
        Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder
        at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Guaranty or the other
        Credit Documents, as applicable. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are
        payable by any Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, such
        Guarantor shall send to Agent for its own account or for the account of
        such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original
        official receipt received by such Guarantor showing payment thereof. If
        Guarantors fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the
        appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to Agent the required
        receipts or other required documentary evidence, Guarantors shall
        indemnify Agent and Lenders for any taxes (including interest or
        penalties) that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of
        any such failure. The obligations of Guarantors under this Subparagraph
        6(h) shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed
        Obligations and the termination of this Guaranty. Nothing contained in
        this Subparagraph 6(h) shall require Agent or any Lender to make
        available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to
        its taxes which it deems to be confidential).

                (i) Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this
        Guaranty is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect
        under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or
        enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty nor the
        legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of
        any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

                (j) Jury Trial. EACH OF GUARANTORS, LENDERS AND AGENT, TO THE
        FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
        ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY
        ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
        GUARANTY.

                (k) Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of
        identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the Guarantors
        shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all
        purposes.

                (l) Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc.

                        (i) This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in
                accordance with the laws of the State of California, except for
                the purposes of any suit or legal action brought in Mexico in
                which case it shall be governed by the laws of Mexico.

                        (ii) Each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the
                non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
                California and the courts of the United States of America
                located in the Northern District of California and, in respect
                of the Mexican Guarantor, the Mexican Guarantor and the Agent,
                on behalf of Lenders, also irrevocably submit to the
                jurisdictions of the courts of the Federal District of Mexico,
                Mexico, and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding
                arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any of the other
                Credit Documents may be brought against such party in any such
                courts. Final judgment against a Guarantor in any such action,
                suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
                any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or
                exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the
                judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in
                this Subparagraph 6(l) shall affect the right of Agent or any
                Lender to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue any
                Guarantor in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently
                in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings

        which may affect its title to or Agent's interest in the Collateral.

                (d) Pledgor shall not surrender or lose possession of (other
        than to Agent), sell, encumber, lease, rent, option, or otherwise
        dispose of or transfer any Collateral or right or interest therein
        except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, and, notwithstanding any
        provision of the Credit Agreement, Pledgor shall keep the Collateral
        free of all Liens.

        5. VOTING RIGHTS AND DIVIDENDS PRIOR TO DEFAULT. Unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing:

                (a) Pledgor may exercise or refrain from exercising any and all
        voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Shares or
        any part thereof; provided, however, that Pledgor shall not exercise or
        refrain from exercising any such rights where the consequence of such
        action or inaction would be (i) to impair any Collateral, the Lien
        granted to Agent therein, the first priority of such Lien or Agent's
        rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral or (ii)
        otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other
        Credit Documents.

                (b) Pledgor may receive and retain all dividends and interest
        paid in cash in respect of the Pledged Shares, except for any such
        dividends and interest paid in connection with a partial or total
        liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital,
        capital surplus or paid-in-surplus. Pledgor shall promptly deliver to
        Agent to hold as Collateral all dividends and interest which Pledgor is
        not entitled to receive and retain pursuant to the preceding sentence,
        in the same form as so received (with any

                                      E-3
<PAGE>   114

        necessary endorsement), and, until so delivered, shall hold such
        dividends and interest in trust for the benefit of Agent, segregated
        from the other property or funds of Pledgor.

        6. AUTHORIZED ACTION BY AGENT. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent
as its attorney-in-fact and agrees that Agent may perform (but Agent shall not
be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Pledgor or any third party for
failure so to do) any act which Pledgor is obligated by this Agreement to
perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as Pledgor might exercise with
respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the right to (a)
collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for
all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now or
hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral; (b) enter into any
extension, reorganization, deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement
pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in
exchange for the Collateral; (c) insure, process, preserve and enforce the
Collateral; (d) make any compromise or settlement, and take any action it deems
advisable, with respect to the Collateral; (e) pay any Indebtedness of Pledgor
relating to the Collateral; and (f) execute UCC financing statements and other
documents, instruments and agreements required hereunder; provided, however,
that Agent may exercise such powers only after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default. Pledgor agrees to reimburse Agent upon
demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses, including
reasonable and documented attorneys' fees, Agent may incur while acting as
Pledgor's attorney-in-fact hereunder, all of which costs and expenses are
included in the Secured Obligations. Pledgor agrees that such care as Agent
gives to the safekeeping of its own property of like kind shall constitute
reasonable care of the Collateral when in Agent's possession; provided, however,
that Agent shall not be required to make any presentment, demand or protest, or
give any notice and need not take any action to preserve any rights against any
prior party or any other Person in connection with the Secured Obligations or
with respect to the Collateral.

        7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

                (a) Event of Default. Pledgor shall be deemed in default under
        this Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
        Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement.

                (b) Voting Rights and Dividends. Upon the occurrence and during
        the continuance of an Event of Default:

                        (i) All rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and
                other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to
                exercise pursuant to subparagraph 5(a) hereof and to receive the
                dividends and interest payments which it would otherwise be
                authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subparagraph 5(a)
                hereof shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become
                vested in Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right, but
                not the obligation, to exercise such voting and other consensual
                rights and to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends and
                interest payments.

                        (ii) Pledgor shall promptly deliver to Agent to hold as
                Collateral all dividends and interest received by Pledgor after
                the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
                Default, in the same form as so received (with any necessary
                endorsement), and, until so delivered, shall hold such dividends
                and interest in trust for the benefit of Agent, segregated from
                the other property or funds of Pledgor.

                (c) Other Rights and Remedies. In addition to all other rights
        and remedies granted to Agent by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement,
        the other Credit Documents, the UCC and other applicable Governmental
        Rules, Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
        Event of Default, exercise any one or more of the following rights and
        remedies: (i) collect, receive, appropriate or realize upon the
        Collateral or otherwise foreclose or enforce Agent's security interests
        in any or all Collateral in any manner permitted by applicable
        Governmental Rules or in this Agreement; (ii) notify any or all issuers
        of or transfer or paying agents for the Collateral or any applicable
        clearing corporation, financial intermediary or other Person to register
        the Collateral in the name of Agent or its nominee and/or to pay all
        dividends, interest and other amounts payable in respect of the
        Collateral directly to Agent; (iii) sell or

                                      E-4
<PAGE>   115

        otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral at one or more public or
        private sales, whether or not such Collateral is present at the place of
        sale, for cash or credit or future delivery, on such terms and in such
        manner as Agent may determine; and (iv) require Pledgor to assemble all
        records and information relating to the Collateral and make it available
        to Agent at a place to be designated by Agent. In any case where notice
        of any sale or disposition of any Collateral is required, Pledgor hereby
        agrees that seven (7) days notice of such sale or disposition is
        reasonable.

                (d) Securities Laws.

                        (i) Pledgor acknowledges and recognizes that Agent may
                be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the
                Pledged Shares and may be compelled to resort to one or more
                private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be
                obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged
                Shares for their own account, for investment and not with a view
                to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that
                any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less
                favorable to Agent than those of public sales, and agrees that
                such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a
                commercially reasonable manner and that Agent has no obligation
                to delay sale of any Pledged Shares to permit the issuer thereof
                to register it for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933,
                as amended, or under any state securities law.

                        (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
                an Event of Default and at Agent's request, Pledgor shall, and
                shall cause all issuers of Collateral and all officers and
                directors thereof and all other necessary Persons to, execute
                and deliver all documents, instruments and agreements and
                perform all other acts necessary or, in the opinion of Agent,
                advisable to sell the Collateral in any public or private sale,
                including any acts requested by Agent to (A) register any
                Collateral under the Securities Act of 1933, (B) qualify any
                Collateral under any state securities or "Blue Sky" laws or (C)
                otherwise permit any such sale to be made in full compliance
                with all applicable Governmental Rules.

        8. MISCELLANEOUS.

                (a) Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices,
        requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or
        upon Pledgor or Agent under this Agreement shall be given as provided in
        Paragraph 8.01 of the Credit Agreement.

                (b) Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or
        condition of this Agreement may be amended or waived only as provided in
        the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay by Agent or any Lender in
        exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of
        any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
        right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right.
        Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or consent, a waiver or
        consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance
        and for the specific purpose for which given.

                (c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
        and inure to the benefit of Agent, Lenders, Pledgor and their respective
        successors and assigns; provided, however, that Pledgor may not assign
        or transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
        without the prior written consent of Agent and Lenders, and, provided,
        further, that Agent or any Lender may sell, assign and delegate their
        respective rights and obligations hereunder only as permitted by the
        Credit Agreement. All references in this Agreement to any Person shall
        be deemed to include all permitted successors and assigns of such
        Person.

                (d) Cumulative Rights, etc. The rights, powers and remedies of
        Agent and Lenders under this Agreement shall be in addition to all
        rights, powers and remedies given to Agent and Lenders by virtue of any
        applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, the
        Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, all
        of which rights, powers, and remedies shall be cumulative and may be
        exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Agent's or any
        Lender's rights hereunder.

                                      E-5
<PAGE>   116

        Pledgor waives any right to require Agent or any Lender to proceed
        against any Person or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue any remedy
        in Agent's or such Lender's power.

                (e) Partial Invalidity. If at any time any provision of this
        Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect
        under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or
        enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the
        legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of
        any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

                (f) Governing Law.

                        (i) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
                accordance with the laws of the State of California without
                reference to conflicts of laws rules (except to the extent
                otherwise provided in the UCC).

                        (ii) The Pledgor agrees that for the exclusive benefit
                of the Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents, the
                Co-Agent and the Lenders, any suit, action or proceeding by the
                Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents, the
                Co-Agent or the Lenders arising our of or in connection with
                this Agreement may be brought by the Agent, the Documentation
                Agent, the Managing Agents, the Co-Agent or the Lenders in any
                competent court of the State of California or any federal court
                of the United States of America sitting in the State of
                California, and the Pledgor submits to the non-exclusive
                jurisdiction of each such court. The Pledgor further agrees, for
                the non-exclusive benefit of the Agent, the Documentation Agent,
                the Managing Agents, the Co-Agent and the Lenders, that nothing
                contained in this paragraph (f) shall limit the right of the
                Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents, the
                Co-Agent or the Lenders to take suit, action or proceedings
                against Pledgor in any other competent jurisdiction. Pledgor
                irrevocably waives any right it may have to the trial by jury of
                such proceedings in any such court.

                              ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

        THIS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of the date set forth at the top of
Attachment 1 hereto, by and among:

               (1) The bank designated under item A of Attachment 1 hereto as
        the Assignor Lender ("Assignor Lender"); and

               (2) Each bank designated under item B of Attachment 1 hereto as
        an Assignee Lender (individually, an "Assignee Lender").

                                    RECITALS

        A. Assignor Lender is one of the Lenders which is a party to the Credit
Agreement dated as of April 3, 2000, among Flextronics International Ltd.
("FIL"), each of the Subsidiaries of FIL designated as borrowers from time to
time as approved by all Lenders and Guarantors (collectively, "Designated
Borrowers"), Assignor Lender and the other financial institutions parties
thereto (collectively, the "Lenders") and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as agent for
Lenders (in such capacity, "Agent"). (Such credit agreement, as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms from time to
time to be referred to herein as the "Credit Agreement").

        B. Assignor Lender wishes to sell, and Assignee Lender wishes to
purchase, all or a portion of Assignor Lender's rights under the Credit
Agreement pursuant to Subparagraph 8.05(c) of the Credit Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

        Now, therefore, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Assignment
Agreement, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement
have the respective meanings given to those terms in the Credit Agreement.

        2. Sale and Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Assignment Agreement, Assignor Lender hereby agrees to sell, assign and delegate
to each Assignee Lender and each Assignee Lender hereby agrees to purchase,
accept and assume the rights, obligations and duties of a Lender under the
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents with Commitments or Loans equal
to the respective amounts set forth under the caption "Commitments or Loans
Assigned" opposite such Assignee Lender's name on Attachment 1 hereto. Such
sale, assignment and delegation shall become effective on the date designated in
Attachment 1 hereto (the "Assignment Effective Date"), which date shall be,
unless Agent shall otherwise consent, at least five (5) Business Days after the
date following the date counterparts of this Assignment Agreement are delivered
to Agent in accordance with Paragraph 3 hereof.

        3. Assignment Effective Notice. Upon (a) receipt by Agent of five (5)
counterparts of this Assignment Agreement (to each of which is attached a fully

each Assignee Lender (and, to the extent required by Subparagraph 8.05(c) of the
Credit Agreement, by Borrowers and Agent) and (b) payment to Agent of the
registration and processing fee specified in Subparagraph 8.05(e) of the Credit
Agreement by Assignor Lender, Agent will transmit to Borrowers, Assignor Lender
and each Assignee Lender an Assignment Effective Notice substantially in the

<PAGE>   120

        4. Assignment Effective Date. At or before 12:00 noon California time on
the Assignment Effective Date, each Assignee Lender shall pay to Assignor
Lender, in immediately available or same day funds, an amount equal to the
purchase price, as agreed between Assignor Lender and such Assignee Lender (the
"Purchase Price"), for each portion of a Commitment or Loan purchased by such
Assignee Lender hereunder. Effective upon receipt by Assignor Lender of each
Purchase Price payable by each Assignee Lender, the sale, assignment and
delegation to such Assignee Lender of such Commitments or Loans as described in
Paragraph 2 hereof shall become effective.

        5. Payments After the Assignment Effective Date. Assignor Lender and
each Assignee Lender hereby agree that Agent shall, and hereby authorize and
direct Agent to, allocate amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the
other Credit Documents as follows:

                (a) All principal payments made after the Assignment Effective
        Date with respect to each portion of a Loan assigned to an Assignee
        Lender pursuant to this Assignment Agreement shall be payable to such
        Assignee Lender.

                (b) All interest, fees and other amounts accrued after the
        Assignment Effective Date with respect to each portion of a Loan
        assigned to an Assignee Lender pursuant to this Assignment Agreement
        shall be payable to such Assignee Lender.

Assignor Lender and each Assignee Lender shall make any separate arrangements
between themselves which they deem appropriate with respect to payments between
them of amounts paid under the Credit Documents on account of the Commitments or
Loans assigned to such Assignee Lender, and neither Agent nor Borrowers shall
have any responsibility to effect or carry out such separate arrangements.

        [6. Delivery of Notes. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date,
Assignor Lender will deliver to Agent the Notes payable to Assignor Lender. On
or prior to the Assignment Effective Date, Borrowers will deliver to Agent new
Notes for each Assignee Lender and Assignor Lender, in each case in principal
amounts reflecting, in accordance with the Credit Agreement, their respective
Commitments (as adjusted pursuant to this Assignment Agreement). As provided in
Subparagraph 8.05(c) of the Credit Agreement, each such new Note shall be dated
the Closing Date. Promptly after the Assignment Effective Date, Agent will send
to each of Assignor Lender and the Assignee Lenders its new Notes and will send
to Borrowers the superseded Notes payable to Assignor Lender, marked
"Replaced."]

        7. Delivery of Copies of Credit Documents. [Concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, Assignor Lender will provide to each Assignee
Lender (if it is not already a Lender party to the Credit Agreement) conformed
copies of all documents delivered to Assignor Lender on or prior to the Closing
Date in satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the Credit
Agreement.]

        8. Further Assurances. Each of the parties to this Assignment Agreement
agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the written request of any
other party, it will execute and deliver such further documents and do such
further acts and things as such other party may reasonably request in order to
effect the purposes of this Assignment Agreement.

        9. Further Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Assignor Lender
and each Assignee Lender further represent and warrant to and covenant with each
other, Agent and Lenders as follows:

                (a) Other than the representation and warranty that it is the
        legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned hereby free
        and clear of any adverse claim, Assignor Lender makes no representation
        or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
        statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with
        the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the execution,
        legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of
        the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents furnished or the
        Collateral or any security interest therein.
