invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and
any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter
of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against
any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Borrowers

action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any
Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of

therewith, the UCC shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any
liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrowers. The responsibility of the
Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for

connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in accordance with the
Uniform Customs, the Issuing Lender may accept facially conforming documents.

                    (a)  To the extent any failure to comply with the provisions
of this Section 3.10 would, either individually or in the aggregate, result in a
        ------------
Material Adverse Effect, the Borrowers agree to procure or to cause the
beneficiaries of each documentary Letter of Credit to procure promptly any
necessary import and export or other licenses for the import or export or
shipping of any goods referred to in or pursuant to a Letter of Credit and to
comply and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the beneficiaries
to comply with all foreign and domestic governmental regulations with respect to
the shipment and warehousing of such goods or otherwise relating to or affecting
such Letter of Credit, including without limitation governmental regulations
pertaining to transactions involving designated foreign countries or their
nationals, and to furnish such certificates in that respect as the Issuing
Lender may at any time reasonably require, and to keep such goods adequately
covered by insurance in amounts, with carriers and for such risks as shall be
customary in the industry and to cause the Issuing Lender's interest to be
endorsed on such insurance and to furnish the Issuing Lender at its request with
reasonable evidence thereof. Should such insurance (or lack thereof) upon said
goods for any reason not be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, the
Issuing Lender may (but is not obligated to) obtain, after notice, at the
Borrowers' expense, insurance satisfactory to the Issuing Lender.

                    (b)  In connection with each documentary Letter of Credit,
neither the Issuing Lender nor any correspondent shall be responsible for: (i)
the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or
delivery of the property purporting to be represented by documents; (ii) any
difference in character, quality, condition or value of the property from that
expressed in documents; (iii) the time, place, manner or order in which shipment
of the property is made; (iv) partial

                                     -23-

or incomplete shipment referred to in such Letter of Credit; (v) the character,
adequacy or responsibility of any insurer, or any other risk connected with
insurance other than insurance procured by the Issuing Lender; (vi) any
deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by the beneficiary or
anyone else in connection with the property or the shipping thereof; (vii) the
solvency, responsibility or relationship to the property of any party issuing
any documents in connection with the property; (viii) delay in arrival or
failure to arrive of either the property or any of the documents relating
thereto; (ix) delay in giving or failure to give notice of arrival or any other
notice; (x) any breach of contract between the Letter of Credit beneficiaries
and any Borrower; (xi) any laws, customs, and regulations which may be effective

failure of any entity to note the amount of any document or draft on the reverse
of such Letter of Credit or to surrender or to take up such Letter of Credit or
to forward documents other than documents required by the terms of the Letter of
Credit. In connection with each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not
be responsible for any error, neglect or default of any of its correspondents.
None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the
Issuing Lender's rights or powers hereunder. If a Letter of Credit provides that
payment is to be made by the Issuing Lender's correspondent, neither the Issuing
Lender nor such correspondent shall be responsible for the failure of any of the
documents specified in such Letter of Credit to come into the Issuing Lender's
hands, or for any delay in connection therewith, and the Borrowers' obligation
to make reimbursements shall not be affected by such failure or delay in the
receipt of any such documents.

Uniform Customs are hereby made a part of this Agreement with respect to
obligations in connection with each documentary Letter of Credit.

shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder or under the Notes
charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to the
Notes exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court
of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable

or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the
rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate
permitted by Applicable Law, and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent's
option: (i) promptly refund to the Borrowers any interest received by the
Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate; or (ii) apply such excess to the
principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof that the Borrowers

Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner
whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrowers under
Applicable Law.

Agent's and Issuing Lender's fees then due and payable, then to all commitment
and other fees and commissions then due and payable, then to accrued and unpaid

                    ---------------------

                    (a)  Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate and Eurocurrency
                         ---------------------------------------------------
Rate Availability. If with respect to any Interest Period the Administrative
-----------------
Agent or any Lender shall determine that, by reason of circumstances affecting
the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in Eurodollars in
the applicable amounts are not being quoted via Telerate Page 3750 or offered to
the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such Interest Period, then the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers.
Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that such
circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate
Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or LIBO Market Index Rate Loans and the right of the
Borrowers to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan,
Eurocurrency Loan or a LIBO Market Index Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the
Borrowers shall: (i) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then
outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan,
together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan; (ii)
repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal
amount of each such LIBO Market Index Rate Loan together with accrued interest
thereon; or (iii) convert to a Base Rate Loan the then outstanding principal
amount of each such LIBO Market Index Rate Loan and, as of the last day of each
applicable Interest Period, the then outstanding principal amount of each such
LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan.

                    (b)  Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate and LIBO
                         -----------------------------------------------------
Market Index Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of,
------------------------------
or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Authority,
central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any
Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its

                                     -28-
<PAGE>

obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan
or LIBO Market Index Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof
to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give
notice to the Borrowers and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that such circumstances no longer
exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency
Loans or LIBO Market Index Rate Loans and the right of the Borrowers to convert
any Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan or LIBO
Market Index Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may
select only Base Rate Loans hereunder, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not
lawfully continue to maintain a LIBO Market Index Rate Loan, LIBOR Rate Loan or
Eurocurrency Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto, the applicable LIBO Market Index Rate Loan shall immediately be
converted to a Base Rate Loan or the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency
Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of the
Interest Period applicable thereto.

                    (c)  Increased Costs. If, after the date hereof, the
                         ---------------
introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law, or in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of such Authority,
central bank or comparable agency:

                         (i)   shall subject any Lender (or any of their
respective Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any
Note, any Letter of Credit or any Application or shall change the basis of
taxation of payments to any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices)
of the principal of or interest on any Note, any Letter of Credit or any
Application or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof
including MLA Costs (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
income of any Lender or any of their respective Lending Offices imposed by the
jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or is or should be qualified to
do business or such Lending Office is located); or

                         (ii)  shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve (including without limitation any imposed by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, insurance or capital or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or shall
impose on any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or the foreign
exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Note;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs to any Lender of
maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan or LIBO Market Index Rate
Loan or issuing Letters of Credit or to reduce the yield or amount of any sum
received or receivable by any Lender under this Agreement or under the Notes in
respect of a LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan, LIBO Market Index Rate Loan or
Letter of Credit or Application, then such Lender shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrowers of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15)
days after such notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to
such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such increased cost or reduction. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers
of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Lender to
compensation pursuant to this Section 4.6(c); provided, that the Administrative
                              --------------  --------
Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to the Borrowers in the event it fails
to do so. The amount of such compensation shall be determined, in the applicable
Lender's sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its
Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate

                                     -29-
<PAGE>

Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or the LIBO Market Index Rate Loans in the London
interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which
such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender
setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrowers and shall be
conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. The Lenders shall
determine the applicability of, and the amount due under, this Section 4.6
                                                               -----------
consistent with the manner in which they apply similar provisions and calculate
similar amounts payable to it by other borrowers having in their credit
agreements provisions comparable to this Section 4.6.
                                         -----------

                    (d)  Replacement of Defaulting Lenders. Any Lender that: (i)
                         ---------------------------------
is unable to or is prohibited from making LIBOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans
or LIBO Market Index Rate Loans to the Borrowers as set forth in Sections 4.6(a)
                                                                 ---------------
or (b) above or (ii) incurs increased costs and demands compensation therefor as
------
set forth in Section 4.6(c) above, shall be referred to hereafter as a
             --------------
"Defaulting Lender." If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then Borrowers may
elect to remove such Defaulting Lender from this Agreement, and notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 13.12 hereof to the contrary, the consent of the
                  -------------
Remaining Lenders shall not be required for such removal, and so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of
solely the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be required for the
replacement bank, if any, and the requirement that the Defaulting Lender's
Commitment must be replaced, and the requisite documentation to effect such
removal and replacement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

     Section 4.7.   Indemnity. The Borrowers hereby indemnify each of the
                    ---------
Lenders against any loss or expense which may arise or be attributable to each
Lender's obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to
effect, fund or maintain any Loan: (a) as a consequence of any failure by the
Borrowers to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection
with a LIBOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Loan or LIBO Market Index Rate Loan; (b)
due to any failure of the Borrowers to borrow on a date specified therefor in a
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or (c) due to any
payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Loan on
a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor or of any LIBO
Market Index Rate Loan of a date other than the last day of the term applicable
thereto. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the
applicable Lender's sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender
funded the LIBOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or LIBO Market Interest Rate
Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or
averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A
certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount
or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender shall be forwarded to the
Borrowers through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to
be correct save for manifest error.

     Section 4.8.   Capital Requirements. If either (a) the introduction of, or
                    --------------------
any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Applicable Law or (b) compliance
with any guideline or request from any central bank or comparable agency or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or has
affected or would affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by, any
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with
reference to the Commitments and other commitments of this type, below the rate
which the Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such
introduction, change or compliance, then within five (5) Business Days after
written demand by such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender from time
to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender or other corporation for such reduction. A certificate as to such
amounts submitted to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent by

                                     -30-
<PAGE>

such Lender, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be presumed to be correct
and binding for all purposes. Lenders shall determine the applicability of, and
the amount due under, this Section 4.8 consistent with the manner in which it
                           -----------
applies similar provisions and calculates similar amounts payable to it by other
borrowers having in their credit agreements provisions comparable to this
Section 4.8.
-----------

     Section 4.9.   Taxes.
                    -----

                    (a)  Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by the
                         -----------------------

Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent: (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary
so that after making all required deductions (including without limitation
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.9(d) such
                                                            --------------
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal
to the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made; (B) the
Borrowers shall make such deductions; (C) the Borrowers shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law; and (D) the Borrowers shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent evidence of such payment to the relevant taxing authority
or other authority in the manner provided in Section 4.9(d) hereof.
                                             --------------

                    (b)  Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrowers shall
                         ---------------------
pay any present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes
or any other similar fees or charges or excise or property taxes, levies of the
United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or any applicable
foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the other Loan Documents, or the
perfection of any rights or security interest in respect thereto (hereinafter
referred to as "Other Taxes").

                    (c)  Indemnity. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender
                         ---------
and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes
(including without limitation any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.9) paid by such Lender or
                                           -----------
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
without limitation penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days
from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes
written demand therefor.

                    (d)  Evidence of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the
                         -------------------
date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.1 hereof, the
                                                    ------------
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other
evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

                    (e)  Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any
                         --------
other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of
each Borrower contained in this Section 4.9 shall survive the payment in full of
                                -----------
the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

                    (f)  Delivery of Tax Forms. Each Lender organized under the
                         ---------------------
laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof shall
deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, on the Closing
Date or concurrently with the delivery of the relevant Assignment and
Acceptance, as applicable, (i) two United States Internal Revenue Service Forms
W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN, as applicable (or successor forms), properly completed
and certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to a complete exemption
from withholding or deduction for or on account of any United States federal
income taxes, and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United
States backup withholding taxes. Each such Lender further agrees to deliver to
the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN
and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms or manner of certification,
as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes
obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower, certifying in the case
of a Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN that such Lender is entitled to receive payments
under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal income taxes (unless in any such case an event (including without
limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the
date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such
forms inapplicable or the exemption to which such forms relate unavailable and
such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not
entitled to receive payments without deduction or withholding of United States
federal income taxes) and, in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, establishing an
exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

     Section 4.10.  Guaranty. The Obligations of the Borrowers shall be
                    --------
guaranteed by the Guarantors as provided in the Guaranty Agreement.

     Section 4.11.  Adjustments. If any Lender (a "Benefitted Lender") shall at
                    -----------
any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or
interest thereon, or if any Lender shall at any time receive any collateral in
respect to the Obligations owing to it (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by
set-off or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations
owing to such other Lender, or interest thereon, such Benefitted Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other
Lender's Extensions of Credit, or shall provide such other Lenders with the
benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary
to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, that if all
or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price
and benefits returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The
Borrowers agree that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's
Extensions of Credit may exercise all rights of payment (including without
limitation rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such
Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

     Section 4.12.  Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of
                    --------------------------------------------------------
Credit; Assumption by the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders
----------------------------------------------
under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of
Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a
proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of the

                                     -32-
<PAGE>

amount to be borrowed on such date (which notice shall not release such Lender
of its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the
proposed borrowing date in accordance with Section 2.2(c)  hereof, and the
                                           --------------
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If such amount is made
available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid,
equal to the product of (a) the amount not made available by such Lender in
accordance with the terms hereof, times (b) the daily average Federal Funds Rate
                                  -----
during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent, times (c) a
                                                              -----
fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and
including such borrowing date to the date on which such amount not made
available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall have become
immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which
is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts
owing under this Section 4.12 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If
                 ------------
such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to
the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such
borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
amount made available by the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the
rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder, on demand, from the
Borrowers. The failure of any Lender to make available its Commitment Percentage
of any Loan requested by the Borrowers shall not relieve it or any other Lender
of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Commitment Percentage of such
Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan
available on the borrowing date.

     Section 4.13.  European Economic and Monetary Union.
                    -------------------------------------

                    (a)  Effectiveness of Provisions. The provisions of
                         ---------------------------
paragraphs (b) to (i) below (inclusive) shall be effective at and from the date
of execution of this Agreement, provided, that if and to the extent that any
                                --------
such provision relates to any state (or the currency of such state) that is not
a Participating Member State on the commencement of the Third Stage of EMU, such
provision shall become effective in relation to such state (and the currency of
such state) at and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating
Member State.

                    (b)  Continuity of Contract. Lenders and Borrowers agree
                         ----------------------
that the occurrence of EMU, any event or events associated with the EMU and/or
the introduction of the euro in all or any part of the European Union will not
result in the discharge, cancellation, rescission or termination in whole or in
part of any agreement between Administrative Agent, Lenders and the Borrowers or
give any of Administrative Agent, Lenders or Borrowers the right to cancel,
rescind, terminate or vary any agreement, other than as specifically provided in
this Agreement.

                    (c)  Redenomination and Alternate Currencies. Each
                         ---------------------------------------
obligation of any party under this Agreement which has been denominated in the
fixed national currency unit of a Participating Member State shall be
redenominated into the euro unit at the Fixed Exchange Rate, provided, that: (i)
if and to the extent that any EMU Legislation provides that following the
beginning of the Third Stage of EMU an amount denominated either in the euro
unit or in the national currency unit of a Participating Member State and
payable within the Participating Member State by crediting an account of a
creditor can be paid by a debtor either in the euro unit or in that national
currency unit, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay
any such amount either in the euro unit or in such national currency unit; and
(ii) any amount paid in a national currency unit shall equal, at the Fixed
Exchange Rate for that national currency unit, the required amount stated to be
due in euro units.

                                     -33-
<PAGE>

                    (d)  Loans.  Any portion of an Alternate Currency Loan in
                         -----
the currency of a Participating Member State shall be made in the euro unit,
provided that any portion of such Alternate Currency Loan may, if so requested
by Borrowers, be made in the national currency unit (based upon the Fixed
Exchange Rate) of any Participating Member State so long as such national
currency unit continues to be available as legal tender for obligations of the
same type or character as the obligations set forth in this Agreement, is freely
convertible and is not subject to exchange controls.

                    (e)  Payments by Borrowers.  Those Sections of this
                         ---------------------
Agreement providing for payment or repayment in a national currency unit shall
be construed so that, in relation to the payment of any amount of euro units or
national currency units, such amount shall be made available to the Lenders in
immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds to such account with
Lenders (in such principal financial center) as Lenders may from time to time in
good faith nominate for this purpose.

                    (f)  Payments by Lenders Generally.  With respect to the
                         -----------------------------
payment of any amount denominated in the euro unit or in a national currency
unit, no Lender shall be liable to the Borrowers in any way whatsoever for any
delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any
amount required by this Agreement to be paid by a Lender if such Lender has made
reasonable effort to effect all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required
by the Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely
transferable, cleared funds (in the euro unit or, as the case may be, in a
national currency unit) to the account with such Lender in the principal
financial center in the Participating Member State which the Borrowers shall
have specified for such purpose. In this paragraph, "all relevant steps" means
all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or
operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Lender may
from time to time reasonably believe to be in effect for the purpose of clearing
or settling payment in the euro.

                    (g)  Basis of Accrual.  If the basis of accrual of interest
                         ----------------
or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to the currency of any state
that becomes a Participating State Member, in Administrative Agent's judgment,
shall not be available because interest rate quotes for a national currency unit
are no longer provided, or shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice
in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in
respect of the euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed
basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a
Participating Member State; provided, however, if any or all of an Alternate
Currency Loan in the currency of such state is outstanding immediately prior to
such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such portion of
the Alternate Currency Loan, on the last day of the current Interest Period.

                    (h)  Rounding and Other Consequential Changes.  Without
                         ----------------------------------------
prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by
any EMU Legislation, and without prejudice to the respective liabilities for
indebtedness of the Borrowers to Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrowers under
or pursuant to this Agreement:

                         (i)  each reference in this Agreement to a minimum
amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in a national currency unit to be paid
to or by Lenders shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable
amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in the euro unit as Administrative
Agent may from time to time specify; and

                         (ii) except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
each provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to
combine currencies to effect a set

                                     -34-

off, shall be subject to such reasonable changes of interpretation as
Administrative Agent, as applicable, may from time to time specify to be
necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or change over to the
euro in Participating Member States.

                         (iii)  Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs.
                                --------------------------------------------
The Borrowers shall, upon demand from Administrative Agent, pay to Lenders the
amount of: (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by any Lender, (ii)
any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on its capital
to any Lender, (iii) interest or other return, including principal, foregone by
any Lender as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of
the euro in any Participating Member State, or  (iv) any currency exchange loss
that any Lender sustains as a result of the Borrowers' election to borrow in
national currency units and repay in euro units or to borrow in  euro units and
repay in national currency units.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the
basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest
error.

under the articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other

Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor: (i) has all Governmental Approvals
required by any Applicable Law for it to conduct its business, each of which is
in full force and effect, is final and not subject to review on appeal and is
not the subject of any pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened
attack by direct or collateral proceeding, except where the failure to obtain
any such Governmental Approvals or the existence of any potential appeals or
threatened attacks in connection therewith would not, singly or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) is in compliance with each
Governmental Approval applicable to it and in compliance with all other
Applicable Laws relating to it or any of its respective properties, except for

Material Adverse Effect.

or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any such rights, and no
Borrower nor any Subsidiary is liable to any Person for infringement under
Applicable Law with respect to any such rights as a result of its business
operations, except to the extent any such event or liability, either singly or
in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

                         (vi)   No proceeding, claim, lawsuit and/or

Subsidiary and each Guarantor after due inquiry, threatened, concerning or

                    (j)  Margin Stock.  No Borrower, Subsidiary or Guarantor is
                         ------------
engaged principally or as one of its activities in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock (as each such
term is defined or used in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of
Credit will be used for purchasing or carrying margin stock or for any purpose
which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of
Regulation T, U or X of such Board of Governors.

                    (k)  Government Regulation.  No Borrower, Subsidiary or
                         ---------------------
Guarantor is an investment company or a company controlled by an investment
company (as each such term is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended), and no Borrower, Subsidiary or Guarantor is, or after giving
effect to any Extension of Credit will be, subject to regulation under the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 or the Interstate Commerce Act, each
as amended, or any other Applicable Law which limits its ability to incur or
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

                    (l)  Material Contracts.  Schedule 6.1(l) hereto sets forth
                         ------------------   ---------------
a complete and accurate list of all Material Contracts of each Borrower, each
Subsidiary and each Guarantor in effect as of the Closing Date not listed on any
other Schedule hereto; other than as set forth in Schedule 6.1(l) hereto, each
                                                  ---------------
such Material Contract is, and after giving effect to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will be, in full force and

                         ------------------
each Guarantor enjoys good employee relations and is not, as of the Closing
Date, party to any collective bargaining agreement nor has any labor union been
recognized as the representative of its employees except as set forth on

---------------
pending, threatened or contemplated strikes, work stoppage or other collective
labor disputes involving its employees or those of any Subsidiary.

                    (n)  Burdensome Provisions.  No Borrower, Subsidiary or
                         ---------------------
Guarantor is a party to any indenture, agreement, lease or other instrument, or
subject to any corporate or partnership restriction, Governmental Approval or
Applicable Law which is so unusual or burdensome as in the foreseeable future
could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower,
Subsidiary or Guarantor presently anticipates that future expenditures needed to
meet the provisions of any statutes, orders, rules or regulations of a
Governmental Authority will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

                    (o)  Financial Statements.  The Consolidated balance sheets
                         --------------------

Years then ended, copies of which have been furnished to the Lenders, are
complete and correct and fairly present the assets, liabilities and financial
position of the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and the Guarantors as at such
dates, and the results of the operations and changes of financial position for
the periods then ended. All such financial statements, including without
limitation the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP. No Borrower, Subsidiary or Guarantor has any Debt,
obligation or other unusual forward or long-term commitment which is not fairly
reflected in the foregoing financial statements or in the notes thereto in
accordance with GAAP.

is necessary or desirable to the conduct of its business and valid and legal
title to all of its personal property and assets, including without limitation
those reflected on the balance sheets of Urban and its Consolidated Subsidiaries
delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(o) hereof, except those which have been
                      --------------

date which dispositions have been in the ordinary course of business or as
otherwise expressly permitted hereunder.

                    (s)  Liens.  None of the properties and assets of any
                         -----
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor is subject to any Lien, except Liens
permitted pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof. No financing statement under the
                      ------------
Uniform Commercial Code of any state which names any Borrower, any Subsidiary,
any Guarantor or any of their respective trade names or divisions as debtor and
which has not been terminated, has been filed in any state or other
jurisdiction, and no Borrower, Subsidiary or Guarantor has signed any such
financing statement or any security agreement authorizing any secured party
thereunder to file any such financing statement, except to perfect those Liens
permitted by Section 10.3 hereof.

$1,000,000. Each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor has performed and
is in compliance with all of the terms of such Debt and Guaranty Obligations and
all instruments and agreements relating thereto, and no default or event of
default, or event or condition which with notice or lapse of time or both would
constitute such a default or event of default on the part of any Borrower, any
Subsidiary or any Guarantor exists with respect to any such Debt or Guaranty
Obligation.

                         ----------

                      ---------------
has not disclaimed liability coverage, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings pending nor, to the knowledge of any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any
Guarantor, threatened, against or in any other way relating adversely to or
affecting any Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Guarantor or any of their respective
properties in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any
Governmental Authority, which, either singly or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                    (v)  Absence of Defaults.  No event has occurred or is
                         -------------------

constitutes, or which with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would
constitute, a default or event of default by any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any
Guarantor under any Material Contract or judgment, decree or order to which any
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor is a party or by which any Borrower,
any Subsidiary, any Guarantor or any

Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor and furnished to the Lenders were,
at the time the same were so furnished, complete and correct in all respects to
the extent necessary to give the recipient a true and accurate knowledge of the
subject matter.  No document, including without limitation any financial
statement, furnished or written statement made to the Lenders by any Borrower,
any Subsidiary and any Guarantor in connection with the negotiation, preparation
or execution of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents contains or will
contain any untrue statement of a fact material to the creditworthiness of any
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Guarantor or omits or will omit to state a fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.  No
Borrower is aware of any facts which it has not disclosed in writing to the
Lenders having a Material Adverse Effect, or insofar as such Borrower can now
foresee, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                    (x)  Fees and Commissions.  No Borrower owes any fees or
                         --------------------
commissions of any kind, and no Borrower knows of any claim for any fees or
commissions, in connection with the Borrowers' obtaining the Commitments or the
Loans from the Lenders, except those provided herein.

part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right, power
or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall
be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.  No course of dealing
between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their
respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge
any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to
constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice

shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice
or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby or by
the relevant other Loan Document, all the Lenders) as it deems appropriate

                                     -59-

or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any
and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action except for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the

respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interests of the Lenders, except to the extent that other provisions of
                               ------

of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact,
Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and
that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including without
limitation any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Borrowers and made its own decision to make its Loans and issue or participate
in Letters of Credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as
it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or by the other Loan Documents,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the
Borrowers which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any

                     ---------------

<PAGE>

other Loan Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken
or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any
           --------
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the
Administrative Agent's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Notes, any
                   ------------
Reimbursement Obligation and all other amounts payable hereunder and the
termination of this Agreement.

     Section 12.8.   The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  The
                    ---------------------------------------------------
Administrative Agent and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates may make
loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrowers as though the Administrative Agent were not an Administrative
Agent hereunder.  With respect to any Loans made or renewed by it and any Note
issued to it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it or
participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and the terms
"Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.

     Section 12.9.   Resignation of the Administrative Agent; Successor
                    --------------------------------------------------
Administrative Agent.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
--------------------
as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers.  Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent, which successor shall be an Eligible Assignee.  If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the
Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent,
which successor shall have minimum capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any
retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Section 12.9 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
Administrative Agent.

County, Pennsylvania, in any action, claim or other proceeding arising out of
any dispute in connection with this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan

     Section 13.6.   Binding Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial; Preservation of
                     ----------------------------------------------------------
Remedies.
--------

                     (a) Binding Arbitration. Upon demand of any party, whether
                         -------------------
made before or after institution of any judicial proceeding, any dispute, claim
or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to any Note or any
other Loan Document ("Disputes"), between or among parties to any Note or any
other Loan Document shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided herein.
Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does not waive the right of that
party to demand arbitration hereunder. Disputes may include, without limitation,
tort claims, counterclaims, claims brought as class actions, claims arising from
Loan Documents executed in the future, disputes as to whether a matter is
subject to arbitration, or claims concerning any aspect of the past, present or
future relationships arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents.
Arbitration shall be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Financial
Disputes Arbitration Rules (the "Arbitration Rules") of the American Arbitration
Association (the "AAA") and the Federal Arbitration Act. All arbitration
hearings shall be conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The expedited
procedures set forth in Rule 51, et seq. of the Arbitration Rules shall be
                                 -- ----
applicable to claims of less than $1,000,000. All applicable statutes of
limitation shall apply to any Dispute. A judgment upon the award may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the
contrary, any arbitration proceeding demanded hereunder shall begin within
ninety (90) days after such demand thereof and shall be concluded within one-
hundred and twenty (120) days after such demand. These time limitations may not
be extended unless a party hereto shows cause for extension and then such
extension shall not exceed a total of sixty (60) days. The panel from which all
arbitrators are selected shall be comprised of licensed attorneys selected from
the Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration Panel of the AAA. The single
arbitrator selected for expedited procedure shall be a retired judge from the
highest court of general jurisdiction, state or federal, of the state where the
hearing will be conducted. The parties hereto do not waive any applicable
Federal or state substantive law except as provided herein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this paragraph shall not apply to any Hedging Agreement.

                     (b) Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND
                         ----------
EACH BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION THEY
HAVE IRREVOCABLY WAIVED THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO
ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR
OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS.

<PAGE>

                    (c)  Preservation of Certain Remedies. Notwithstanding the
                         --------------------------------
preceding binding arbitration provisions, the parties hereto and the other Loan
Documents preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that such Persons may
employ or exercise freely, either alone, in conjunction with or during a
Dispute. Each such Person shall have and hereby reserves the right to proceed in
any court of proper jurisdiction or by self help to exercise or prosecute the
following remedies: (i) all rights to foreclose against any real or personal
property or other security by exercising a power of sale granted in the Loan
Documents or under applicable law or by judicial foreclosure and sale; (ii) all
rights of self help including without limitation peaceful occupation of property
and collection of rents, set off, and peaceful possession of property; (iii)
obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies including without limitation
injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment of
receiver and in filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding; and (iv) when
applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Preservation of these remedies
does not limit the power of an arbitrator to grant similar remedies that may be
requested by a party in a Dispute.

     Section 13.7.  Reversal of Payments.  To the extent the Borrowers make a
                    --------------------
payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the
collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative
Agent.

     Section 13.8.  Injunctive Relief; Punitive Damages.
                    -----------------------------------

                    (a)  The Borrowers recognize that, in the event the
Borrowers fail to perform, observe or discharge any of their obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate
relief to the Lenders. Therefore, the Borrowers agree that the Lenders, at the
Lenders' option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief
in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

                    (b)  The Administrative Agent, Lenders and the Borrowers (on
behalf of themselves and each Subsidiary) hereby agree that no such Person shall
have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan
Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or
exemplary damages that they may now have or may arise in the future in
connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through
arbitration or judicially.

                    (c)  The parties agree that they shall not have a remedy of
punitive or exemplary damages against any other party in any Dispute and hereby
waive any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages they have now or which
may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute whether the Dispute is
resolved by arbitration or judicially.

     Section 13.19. Accounting Matters.  All financial and accounting
                    ------------------
calculations, measurements and computations made for any purpose relating to
this Agreement, including without limitation all computations utilized by any
Borrower or any Subsidiary to determine compliance with any covenant contained
herein, shall, except as otherwise expressly contemplated hereby or unless there
is an express written direction by the Administrative Agent to the contrary
agreed to by the Borrowers, be performed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on
the Closing Date.  In the event that changes in GAAP shall be mandated by the
Financial

                                     -65-
<PAGE>

Accounting Standards Board, or any similar accounting body of comparable
standing, or shall be recommended by the Borrowers' certified public
accountants, to the extent that such changes would modify such accounting terms
or the interpretation or computation thereof, such changes shall be followed in
defining such accounting terms only from and after the date the Borrowers and
the Lenders shall have amended this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect
any such changes in the financial covenants and other terms and conditions of
this Agreement.

     Section 13.10. Successors and Assigns; Participations.
                    --------------------------------------

                    (a)  Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, all future holders of the Notes, and their respective successors and
assigns, except that the Borrowers shall not assign or transfer any of their
rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without
the prior written consent of each Lender.

                    (b)  Assignments and Participations by the Lenders.
                         ---------------------------------------------

                         (i)   Assignments by the Lenders. The Borrowers hereby
                               --------------------------
acknowledge and agree that each Lender may at any time with the consent of the
Borrowers (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing) and the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consents shall
not be unreasonably withheld, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a
portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
without limitation all or a portion of the Extensions of Credit at the time
owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that (A) each such assignment
                                       --------
shall be of a constant, and not a varying percentage, of all such assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; (B) if less than all of
the assigning Lender's Commitment is to be assigned, the Commitment so assigned

Commission or apply to or qualify the Loans or any Note under the blue sky laws
of any state; (E) the assigning Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an
assignment fee of $3,000 upon the execution by such Lender of the Assignment
Agreement; provided that no such fee shall be payable upon any assignment by a
           --------
Lender to an Affiliate thereof; (F) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder; (G) the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement; and (H) upon receipt of an
Assignment Agreement from an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Assignment Agreement
to the Borrowers. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice, the
Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lender, in exchange for the Note or
Notes to be surrendered in the manner set forth below, a new Note or Notes
payable to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the
Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and a new Note
payable to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the
Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment Agreement
and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the surrendered Note. Each
surrendered Note shall be canceled and returned to the Borrowers concurrent with

                         (ii)    Participations by the Lenders. The Borrowers
                                 -----------------------------
hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender may at any time grant
participations in all or any portion the Commitment, the Loans, the Notes, the
Extensions of Credit or of its right, title and interest therein or in or to
this Agreement (collectively, "Participations") to any other lending office or
to any other bank, lending institution or other entity which has the requisite
sophistication to evaluate the merits and risks of investments in Participations
("Participants"); provided, however, that: (A) each such participation shall be
                  --------  -------
in an amount not less than $5,000,000; (B) all amounts payable by the Borrowers
hereunder shall be determined as if Lenders had not granted such Participation;
(C) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation
its Commitment) shall remain unchanged); (D) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;
(E) such Lender shall remain the holder of the Notes held by it for purposes of

                      (a)  The Borrowers' obligations under this Agreement to
make payments in Dollars (the "Obligation Currency") shall not be discharged or
satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or
converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the
extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the
Lenders of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to
the Lenders under this Agreement. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing
judgment against any Borrowers in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes
necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation
Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment
Currency") an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be
made at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the
Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a
known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent)
determined, in each case, as of the day immediately preceding the day on which
the judgment is given (such business day being hereinafter referred to as the
"Judgment Currency Conversion Date").

                      (b)  If there is a change in the rate of exchange
prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual
payment of the amount due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to
be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount),
as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency,
when converted at the rate of

                                     -69-
<PAGE>

exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the
Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

          (c)   For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this
Section 13.24, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in
-------------
connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

                           Calculations of MLA Costs
                           -------------------------

The MLA Costs for any advance made in an Alternate Currency by any Lender is
calculated in accordance with the following formula:

     BY + L(Y-X) + S(Y-Z) % per annum = MLA Costs
     --------------------------------
           100 - (B+S)

     where on the day of application of the formula:

     B    is the percentage of such Lender's eligible liabilities which the Bank
          of England requires such Lender to hold on a non-interest-bearing
          deposit account in accordance with its cash ratio requirements;

     Y    is the interest rate applicable to such Alternate Currency Advance;

     L    is the percentage of eligible liabilities which the Bank of England
          requires such Lender to maintain as secured money with members of the
          London Discount Market Association and/or as secured call money with
          certain money brokers and gilt-edged primary market makers;

     X    is the rate at which secured deposits in the relevant amount may be
          placed by such Lender with members of the London Discount Market
          Association and/or as secured call money with certain money brokers
          and gilt-edged primary market makers at or about 11:00 a.m. on that
          day for the relevant period;

     S    is the percentage of such Lender's eligible liabilities which the Bank
          of England requires such Lender to place as a special deposit; and

     Z    is the interest rate per annum allowed by the Bank of England on

Credit provides for acceptance of a time draft or incurrence of a deferred

from Bank at Bank's current selling rate of exchange for delivery to the place
of payment in the currency and amount in which such Draft was drawn. If there is
no current selling rate of exchange generally offered by Bank for effecting such
payment, Applicant will pay Bank on demand an amount which Bank deems necessary
to pay or provide for the payment of the Obligations, and Applicant shall remain
liable for any deficiency which may result if such amount in U.S. currency

rates and times as Applicant and Bank may agree in writing or, in the absence of

Credit provided the Bank acts reasonably to avoid or minimize the increased
costs or reduction in the yield and computes the same on a reasonable basis.
Applicant agrees that all payments hereunder shall be made without withholding,
deduction or set-off and shall be made free and clear of taxes other than
federal and state income and franchise taxes imposed on the Bank. (E) Automatic
Debit for Payment. Applicant authorizes Bank to debit any of Applicant's
accounts at Bank for any payments due under this Agreement, Applicant further
certifies that it holds legitimate ownership of each of these accounts and
preauthorizes this debit as part of its ownership rights.

3.   Independence; Applicant Responsibility. Applicant is responsible for
preparing or approving the text of the Credit as issued by Bank and as received
by any Beneficiary, including responsibility for any terms and conditions
thereof that are ineffective, ambiguous, inconsistent, unduly complicated, or
reasonably impossible to satisfy. Applicant's ultimate responsibility for the
final text shall not be affected by any assistance Bank may provide such as
drafting or recommending text or by Bank's use or refusal to use text submitted
by Applicant. Bank does not represent or warrant that the Credit will satisfy
Applicant's requirements or intentions. Applicant is responsible for the
suitability of the Credit for Applicant's purposes. Applicant will examine the
copy of the Credit, and any other documents sent by Bank in connection with the
Credit, and shall notify Bank of any non-compliance with Applicant's
instructions, and of any discrepancy in any document under any presentment or
other irregularity, within 3 Business Days after Applicant receives or should
have received any of such documents (the "Required Time"); provided, however, if
the end of the Required Time falls on a weekend or Bank holiday, the deadline
shall be extended to the end of the next Business Day. Applicant's failure to
give timely and specific notice during the Required Time of objection shall
automatically waive Applicant's objection, authorize or ratify Bank's action or
inaction, and preclude Applicant from raising the objection as a defense or
claim against Bank

4.   Claims Against Bank; Waivers; Exculpations; Limitations of Liability,
Ratification; Accounting.  (A) Applicant's Obligations shall be irrevocable and
unconditional and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, irrespective of: (i) any change or waiver in the time, manner or
place of payment of or any other term of the Obligations (including any release)
of any other party who, if applicable, has guaranteed or is jointly and
severally liable for any of the Obligations or granted any security therefore;
(ii) any exchange, change or release of any Collateral or other collateral
(including any failure of Bank to perfect any security interest therein), for
any of the Obligations, (iii) any presentation under the Credit being forged,
fraudulent or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate, (iv) any
agreement by Bank and any Beneficiary extending or shortening Bank's time after
presentation to examine documents or to honor or give notice of discrepancies.
(B) Without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the Obligations
of Applicant to reimburse or to pay Bank pursuant to this Agreement will not be
excused by ordinary negligence, gross negligence, wrongful conduct or willful
misconduct of Bank. However, the foregoing shall not excuse Bank from liability
to Applicant in any independent action or proceeding brought by Applicant
against Bank following such reimbursement or payment by Applicant to the extent
of any unavoidable direct damages suffered by Applicant that are caused directly
by Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided that (i) Bank shall
be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if it acts in
accordance with standard letter of credit practice of commercial banks located
in the place that the Credit is issued; and (ii) Applicant's aggregate remedies
against Bank for wrongfully honoring a presentation or wrongfully retaining
honored documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by
Applicant to Bank with respect to the honored presentation, plus interest. (C)
Without limiting any other provision of the Agreement, Bank and, as applicable,
its correspondents: (i) may rely upon any oral, telephonic, telegraphic,
facsimile, electronic, written or other communication believed in good faith to
have been authorized by Applicant, whether or not given or signed by an
authorized person; (ii) shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions by,
or the solvency of, any Beneficiary, any nominated person or any other person;
(iii) May honor

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

any presentation or drawing under the Credit that appears on its face
substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the Credit; (iv) (a)
may permit partial shipment under the Credit, except as otherwise expressly
stated in the Credit, and may honor the relative Drafts without inquiry
regardless of any apparent disproportion between the quantity shipped and the
amount of the relative Draft and the total amount of the Credit and the total
quantity to be shipped under the Credit, and (b) if the Credit specifies
shipments in installments within stated periods and the shipper fails to ship in
any designated period, shipments of subsequent installments may nevertheless be
made in their respective designated periods, and the relative Drafts may be
honored; (v)may disregard any requirement of the Credit that presentation be
made to it at a particular place or by a particular time of day (but not any
requirement for presentation by a particular day) or that notice of dishonor be
given in a particular manner, and Bank may amend or specify any such requirement
in the Credits; (vi) may accept as a draft any written or electronic demand or
request for payment under the Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form
of a draft, and may disregard any requirement that such draft, demand or request
bear any or adequate reference to the Credit; (vii) may discount or authorize
the discount of any accepted draft or deferred payment obligation incurred under
any Credit; (viii) may honor, before or after its expiration, a previously
dishonored presentation under the Credit, whether pursuant to court order, to
settle or compromises any claim that is wrongfully dishonored or otherwise, and
shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent (if any) as if it had
initially honored plus reimbursement of any interest paid by it; (ix) may honor,
upon receipt, any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement
advising negotiation or payment (even if such statement indicates that a draft
or other document is being separately delivered) and shall not be liable for any
failure of any Draft or document to arrive or to conform with the Draft or
document referred to in the statement or any underlying transaction; (x) may
retain proceeds of the Credit based on a valid exercise of Bank's set off rights
or an apparently applicable attachment order or blocking regulation; (xi) may
select any branch or affiliate of Bank or any other bank to act as advising,
transferring, confirming and/or nominated bank under the law and practice of the
place where it is located; (xii) shall not be responsible for any other action
or inaction taken or suffered by Bank or its correspondents under or in
connection with the Credit, with any presentation thereunder or with any
Collateral, if required or permitted under any applicable domestic or foreign
law or letter of credit practice. Examples of laws or practice that may be
applicable, depending upon the terms of the Credit and where and when it is
issued, include the UCC, the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees ("URG") the
UCP, the ISP, published rules of practice, applicable standard practice of banks
that regularly issue letters of credit, and published statements or
interpretations on matters of standard bank practice. (D) Applicant's taking
control, possession or retention of any documents presented under or in
connection with the Credit (whether or not the documents are genuine) or of any
Property for which payment is supported by the Credit, shall ratify Bank's honor
of the documents and preclude Applicant from raising a defense, set-off or claim
with respect to Bank's honor of the documents. (E) Neither Bank nor any of its
correspondents shall be liable in contract, tort, or otherwise, for any
punitive, exemplary, consequential, indirect or special damages. Any claim by
Applicant under or in connection with this Agreement or the Credit shall be
reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount (if any) saved by
Applicant as a result of the breach or other wrongful conduct complained of; and
(ii) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had Applicant
taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, including by enforcing its
rights in the transaction(s) underlying the Credit, and in case of a claim of
wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Bank to effect a cure.

5.   Security Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall only supplement,
not supersede, provisions of any other security agreement in favor of Bank which
are inconsistent herewith. (A) Security Interest. As security for the payment
and performance of the Obligations, Applicant assigns, pledges and grants to
Bank a security interest in the Collateral. The security interest of Bank in
Collateral shall continue until all Obligations are repaid, and shall not be
invalidated by reason of the delivery or possession of the Property to Applicant
or anyone else. (B) Subrogation. As additional security for the Obligations,
Bank shall be subrogated to the Applicant's rights in respect of any transaction
in any way related to the Credit or any Drafts, including rights against
Beneficiary or any collateral. (C) Additional Collateral. If at any time Bank,
in its discretion, requires additional collateral for any Obligations, Applicant
will, on demand, provide additional collateral of a type and value satisfactory
to Bank, and/or make such cash payment as Bank may require. If Applicant has
executed or, at any time, executes another security agreement with Bank, the
collateral described therein, unless specifically excluded, shall constitute
additional collateral for the Obligations. (D) Actions Regarding Collateral.
Applicant will execute and deliver to Bank any documents, and take any action,
which Bank deems necessary or desirable to evidence or perfect any security
interest in favor of Bank, to acquire possession of any Property, or to protect
Bank's interests with respect to any Collateral, including, without limitation,
transferring or registering Property in the name of Bank; in order to accomplish
any of the foregoing, Bank may, at its option, at any time and without notice to
Applicant, transfer to, or register in the name of, Bank or its nominees any
Collateral; and further, Bank is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact for
Applicant and authorized, without notice to Applicant, to execute and deliver
all such documents and to take all such actions on behalf of Applicant,
including, without limitation, the execution, delivery and/or filing of
collateral control agreements, financing statements and trust receipt
statements. This appointment is coupled with an interest. (E) Care of Property;
Modification. Bank will exercise care in the preservation of Collateral if such
Property is in the custody of Bank; provided, however, its standard of care for
Property in its custody is the lesser of that required by applicable law or that
requested by Applicant in writing. Applicant shall remain obligated under the
terms of the Agreement notwithstanding the release or substitution of any
Collateral at any time(s), or any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise
or other indulgence granted by Bank related to any Obligations, or to any
promissory note, Draft, bill of exchange or other instrument related to any
Obligations. Applicant waives notice of any such delay, extension, release,
substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and consents to be bound
thereby as fully as if Applicant had expressly agreed thereto in advance. The
proceeds of any Collateral may be applied, in whole or in part, by Bank to pay
any matured, or to anticipate the payment of any unmatured, Obligations.

its part to do so, have the right at its discretion to make further inquiries
and demand further verification to determine the validity of any document prior

information and Applications over its Web Site or by electronic systems.

7.   Two Parties Signing Agreement. (A) Co-Applicants. If the Agreement is
signed by two or more Applicants, it shall be the joint and several obligation
of each. Bank shall designate in the Credit as account party and as Applicant,
who without joinder of the account party shall have the exclusive right to issue
all instructions on any matters relating to the Credit. If the foregoing
information is left blank or incomplete, the Bank at its discretion may accept
an Application, or seek instruction, from any Applicant regarding a Credit,
including, without limitation, any amendment thereto or waiver of any
discrepancy thereunder, and until Bank at the office at which the relevant
Credit is issued actually receives written notice of revocation, each Applicant
shall be bound by and hereby affirms the instructions of the other. (B)
Financial Institution as Customer. If the Agreement is signed as Applicant or
co-Applicant by a bank, trust company or other financial institution for its

Agreement. If such Applicant is required (i) to reimburse Bank; (ii) to pay Bank
in the Event of Default; (iii) to indemnify Bank; or (iv) to provide collateral,
then its customer agrees to reimburse, pay or indemnify Applicant for the full

may set off and apply any deposits or any other indebtedness at any time owing

be unmatured or contingent; (C) Bank

in respect of any Collateral, Bank may exercise all the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law and
also may, without notice except as required by law, sell such Property or any
part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, for cash, on
credit or for future delivery, and on such other terms as Bank may deem
commercially reasonable. Written notice mailed or delivered to Applicant at the

expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and legal expenses, incurred prior
to or after a bankruptcy filing) related to the custody, preservation or sale
of, or collection from, or realization upon, any of such Property and related to
the collections of the Obligations and the enforcement of Bank's rights against
Property. In the event of sale of or collection from the Collateral, Bank may in
its discretion hold the proceeds as Collateral or apply the proceeds as Bank
deems appropriate to the payment of costs and expenses or to one or more of the
Obligations, whether or not then due.

9.   Indemnification.  Applicant will indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its
officers, directors, affiliates, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an

in preparation for a defense of any investigation, litigation or proceeding) and
costs of collection) that arise out of or in connection with: (A) the Credit or
any pre-advice of its issuance; (B) any payment or action taken or omitted to be

wrongful dishonor or honor of the Credit or for breach of any other duty arising

de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (including with respect

other cause beyond the Bank's control, except to the extent such liability,
loss, damage, cost or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from such Indemnified
party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Applicant will pay on demand
from time to time all amounts owing under this section. If and to the extent
that the obligations of Applicant under this section are unenforceable for any
reason, Applicant agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment of such
obligation that is permissible under applicable law.

conflicts of law principles, except to the extent that such law is inconsistent
with the UCP or ISP 98, as applicable. In the event any provision of the UCP or
ISP 98, as applicable, is or is construed to vary from or be in conflict with
any provision of any applicable law of the Jurisdiction or the federal law of
the United States, to the extent permitted by law, the UCP or the ISP 98, as
applicable, shall govern or be read to explain the applicable law. Unless
Applicant specifies otherwise in its application for the Credit, Applicant
agrees that Bank may issue the Credit subject to the UCP or ISP 98 or, at Bank's
option, such later revision of either thereof as is in effect at the time of
issuance of the Credit. Bank's privileges, rights and remedies under the UCP,
ISP 98 or such later revision shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of,
its privileges, rights, and remedies expressly provided for herein. The UCP and
ISP 98 shall serve, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as evidence of
standard practice with respect to the subject matter thereof.

11.  Savings Clause.  Whenever possible, each provision of the Agreement shall
be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of the Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of the Agreement.

12.  Bankruptcy and Forfeiture Reinstatement. If any consideration transferred
to Bank in payment of, or as collateral for, or in satisfaction of the
Obligations, shall be voided in whole or in part as a result of (A) a subsequent
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; (B) any forfeiture or in rem seizure action
or remedy; (C) any fraudulent transfer or preference action or remedy; or (D)
any other criminal or equitable proceeding or remedy, then Bank may at its
option recover the Obligations or the consideration so voided from Applicant. In
such event, Bank's claim to recover the voided consideration shall be a new and
independent claim arising under the Agreement, and shall be jointly and
severally due and payable immediately by Applicant.

13.  Miscellaneous. The rights and remedies granted to Bank in the Agreement are
in addition to all other rights or remedies afforded to Bank under applicable
law, equity or other agreements. The terms of the Agreement may not be waived or
amended, unless the parties consent in writing. The Agreement shall be binding
on Applicant's heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted
assigns,

                                      -5-

and shall inure to the benefit of Bank's successors and assigns. Bank can assign
this Agreement and its rights to reimbursement regarding any Credit without
Applicant's consent. Applicant shall not assign any rights or remedies related
to the Agreement or the Credit without written consent of the Bank. Any notice
to Applicant, if mailed, shall be deemed given when mailed, postage paid,
addressed to Applicant at the address on the Application or such other address
furnished by Applicant to Bank. This Section shall not be deemed to be an
exclusive list of each means of notice from one party to the other. The
Agreement will continue in full force and effect until the expiration or
cancellation of each Credit and all outstanding Obligations have been satisfied
in a manner satisfactory to Bank, and Applicant requests termination in writing.
Applicant will comply with all laws, regulations and customs now or hereafter
applicable to the Agreement or to the transaction related to the Credit, and
will furnish evidence of compliance as Bank may require. Applicant shall
maintain or cause to be maintained insurance covering any Property for which
payment is supported by a Credit in amounts, from insurers, or through parties
satisfactory to the Bank and will furnish such evidence of insurance as and when
Bank may require. This Agreement contains the final, complete and exclusive
understanding of, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous, oral or written,
agreements, understandings, representations and negotiations between, the
parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

14.  Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.  IN ANY PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT OR THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER, APPLICANT IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN ANY COUNTY IN
THE JURISDICTION AND AGREES NOT TO RAISE ANY OBJECTION TO THE JURISDICTION OR TO
THE LAYING OR MAINTAINING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN THE
JURISDICTION. APPLICANT AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING
MAY BE DULY EFFECTED UPON IT BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF, BY REGISTERED MAIL,
POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IT.

15.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, APPLICANT
AND WHEN IT ISSUES A CREDIT, BANK KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO
TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, OR
RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT OR THE CREDIT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF
DEALING, STATEMENTS (ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT
THERETO . THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BANK TO ISSUE THE CREDIT.

16.  Effectiveness of Agreement.  Applicant agrees that the terms and conditions
of this Continuing Letter of Credit Agreement shall be continuing and shall
apply to any Credit currently, or in the future, issued by the Bank on
Applicant's behalf.

17.  Conflict with Credit Agreement.  Reference is made to the Credit Agreement
dated of even date herewith by and among Urban Outfitters, Inc., and its
Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 1 thereto, as Borrowers, the Lenders referred to
therein, and First Union National Bank, as Administrative Agent (as it may be
amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"). Notwithstanding Section 3.12
of the Credit Agreement, to the extent any provisions of this Agreement are
inconsistent with the express terms of the Credit Agreement, the terms of the
Credit Agreement shall prevail.

                  (b) Organization and Qualification. Each of the Company and
the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite power and
authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation
of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the
Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate: (i)
adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction
Document, (ii) have or result in a material adverse effect on the results of
operations, assets, prospects, business or condition (financial or otherwise) of
the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) adversely impair
the Company's ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under
any of the Transaction Documents (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a "Material Adverse
Effect").

                  (c) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its
obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company.
Each of the Transaction Documents has been (or upon delivery will be) duly
executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof
and assuming the applicable Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid
and binding agreement of each party other than the Company, will constitute the
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
violation of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of
incorporation, by-laws or other organizational or charter documents.

<PAGE>
                  (d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of
the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of
the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of the Company's or any Subsidiary's certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents,
or (ii) subject to obtaining the Required Approvals (as defined below), conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or
both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time
or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument
(evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to
which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset
of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or
other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or
a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary
is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such
as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

                  (e) Filings, Consents and Approvals. Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order
of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or
other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Transaction Documents, other than (i) the filings required under Section 4.8 and
the required filing of the Certificate of Designation pursuant to Section 2.2,
(ii) the filing with the Commission of the Underlying Shares Registration
Statement, (iii) the application(s) to each Trading Market for the listing of
the Underlying Shares for trading thereon in the time and manner required
thereby and (iv) applicable Blue Sky filings (collectively, the "Required
Approvals").

                  (f) Issuance of the Securities. The Securities are duly
authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction
Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free
and clear of all Liens. The Company has on the date hereof and will, at all
times while the Preferred Shares and the Warrants are outstanding, maintain an
adequate reserve of duly authorized shares of Common Stock, reserved for
issuance to the holders of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, to enable it
to perform its conversion, exercise and other obligations under this Agreement,
the Certificate of Designation and the Warrants. Such number of reserved and
available shares of Common Stock is not less than 4,687,500 (collectively, the
"Initial Minimum"). All such authorized shares of Common Stock shall be duly
reserved for issuance to the holders of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants.
When issued in accordance with the Certificate of Designation and the Warrants,
the Underlying Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens.

                  (g) Capitalization. The number of shares and type of all
authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is set forth in
Schedule 3.1(g). No securities of the Company are entitled to preemptive or
similar rights, and no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right,
right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a result of the purchase

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
and sale of the Securities and except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(g), there are
no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right
to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or
securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock.
Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g), the issue and sale of the Securities
will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers and other than to Abbott
Laboratories) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such
securities.

                  (h) SEC Reports; Financial Statements. The Company has filed
all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years
preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by
law to file such material) (the foregoing materials being collectively referred
to herein as the "SEC Reports" and, together with the Schedules to this
Agreement, the "Disclosure Materials") on a timely basis or has received a valid
extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the
expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.1(h), the financial statements of the Company included in
the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect
thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a consistent basis during the periods involved ("GAAP"), except as may be
otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and
fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.
All material agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or to
which the property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary are subject have
been filed as exhibits to the SEC Reports as required under the Exchange Act.

                  (i) Material Changes. Since the date of the latest audited

occurrence or development that has had or that could result in a Material
Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or
otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the

and cancellation of the related warrants in accordance with Section 5,
purchased, redeemed, cancelled or made any agreements to purchase, redeem, or
cancel any shares of its capital stock or securities, and (v) the Company has
not issued any equity securities to any officer, director, consultant or
Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans.

                  (j) Litigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there
is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the
Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any
court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an "Action") which:
(i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of
any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there were
an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any
director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving
a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a
claim of breach of fiduciary duty. The Company does not have pending before the
Commission any request for confidential treatment of information, and the
Company does not expect to make any such request prior to the Required
Effectiveness Date. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company,
there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission
involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the
Company. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending
the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any
Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

                  (k) Labor Relations. No material labor problem exists or, to
the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees
of the Company.

                  (l) Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is
in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been
waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by
the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary
received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in
violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in
violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii)
is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any
governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state
and local laws relating to taxes, environmental protection, occupational health
and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except
in each case as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  (m) Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries
possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct
their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the
failure to possess such permits could not, individually or in the

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>
aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect ("Material Permits"), and
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

                  (n) Title to Assets. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(n),
the Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to
all real property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company
and the Subsidiaries and good and marketable title in all personal property
owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do
not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
the Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the
Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

                  (o) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries
have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks,
trademark applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and
other similar rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with
their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the
failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the
"Intellectual Property Rights"). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the
Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person,
and to the knowledge of the Company, as such Intellectual Property Rights
violate or infringes upon the rights of any Person, except to the extent any
such violation or infringement would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. To
the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are
enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of
the Intellectual Property Rights that could have or result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

                  (p) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by
insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the
Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar
coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business.

                  (q) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set
forth in SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof, none of the officers or
directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the
employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the
Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for
the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property or the license of Intellectual Property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such
employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner.

the Series C Preferred Stock in full, and the related cancellation of 555,000 of
warrants to purchase Common Stock (collectively, the "Series C Redemption") have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate actions on the part of the
Company. The Series C Redemption does not and will not: (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of the Company's or any Subsidiary's certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents,
or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or any event that with notice or
lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with our without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any
property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or
(iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority
to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state
securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the
Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected.

                  (s) Certain Fees. Except as described in Schedule 3.1(s), no
brokerage or finder's fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company
to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent,
investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Company agrees that the Purchasers shall
have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made
by or on behalf of any Person for fees of the type contemplated by this Section
3.1(s) with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (t) Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Sections
3.2(b)-(g), the offer, issuance and sale of the Securities to the Purchasers as
contemplated hereby are exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on the Company's
behalf has sold or offered to sell or solicited any offer to buy the Securities
by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising. Neither the Company
nor any of its Affiliates nor any person acting on the Company's behalf has,
directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six months, made any offer
or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security under
circumstances that would: (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from
registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the
offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the
offering of the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents to be
integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable
law, regulation or shareholder approval provisions, including without limitation
under the rules and regulations of any Trading Market. The Company is not, and
is not an Affiliate of, an "investment company" within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                  (u) Form S-3 Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register
its Common Stock for resale by the Purchasers under Form S-3 promulgated under
the Securities Act.

<PAGE>
                  (v) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company has not,
in the two years preceding the date hereof, received notice (written or oral)
from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or
quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or
maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no
reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in
compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

                  (w) Registration Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.1(w), no holder of the Company's securities has any demand or piggyback
registration rights with respect to such securities and the Company has not
agreed to grant such rights to any Person.

                  (x) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its
Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (or
similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or
could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the
Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the
Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company's issuance of
the Securities and the Purchasers' ownership of the Securities, including the
Purchaser's acquisition of the Underlying Shares. The Company and its Board of
Directors have taken all necessary action to designate Cerberus as a "Minority
Investor" as defined in the Plan (as defined herein) (A) with the right to
acquire up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company's outstanding voting
securities upon termination of the Abbott Standstill Agreement and (B) with the
right to acquire up to 34% of the shares of the Common Stock upon termination of
the Abbott Purchase Agreement.

                  (y) Disclosure. All disclosure provided to the Purchasers
regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby,
including the Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the
Company are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

         Section 3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each
Purchaser hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants
to the Company as follows:

                  (a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership
power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its
obligations thereunder. The purchase by such Purchaser of the Securities
hereunder has been (or upon delivery will be) duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of such Purchaser. Each of this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when
delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms.

                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>
                  (b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is acquiring the
Securities as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part
thereof other than to Affiliates; provided, however, that such Purchaser retains
the right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Warrants, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or
any part of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold
Securities for any amount of time. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not have
any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to
distribute any of the Securities.

                  (c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered
the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and
at each exercise date under its respective Warrants, it will be, an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser has
not been formed solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

                  (d) Experience of such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone
or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so
evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

                  (e) Ability of such Purchaser to Bear Risk of Investment. Such
Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities
and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

                  (f) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it
has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity
to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers
from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the
Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries
and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business,
properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its
investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that
the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that
is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the
investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or
on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify,
amend or affect such Purchaser's right to rely on the truth, accuracy and
completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company's representations and
warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.

                  (g) General Solicitation. To the best of its knowledge, such
Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media

                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>
or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other
general solicitation or general advertisement.

                  (h) Reliance. Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that: (i) the Securities are being offered and sold to it without registration
under the Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act and (ii) the availability of such
exemption, depends in part on, and the Company will rely upon the accuracy and
truthfulness of, the foregoing representations and such Purchaser hereby
consents to such reliance.

                  (i) Beneficial Ownership. Such Purchaser does not on the
Closing Date (after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereunder), beneficially own (as determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 14.999% of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the Closing Date, assuming enforcement of all exercise and
conversion limitations set forth in the applicable Transaction Documents.

         The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made
any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

         Section 4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

                  (a) Securities may only be disposed of pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to the Company or
pursuant to an available exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any
applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company,
except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company may require the transferor
thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the
transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require
registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to
register on the books of the Company and with any transfer agent for the
securities of the Company, without any such legal opinion, any transfer of
Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser, provided that the
transferee certifies to the Company that it is an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the
Securities solely for investment purposes (subject to the qualifications
hereof). As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a
Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

                  (b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is
required by this Section 4.1(b), of the following legend on the Securities:

         ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
         SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND,
         ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
         REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
         AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
         REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
         APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF
         COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL
         BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

         None of the Securities shall contain the legend set forth above or any
other legend (other than as required pursuant to the Stockholder Protection
Plan, dated as of June 26, 1995 between the Company and First Fidelity Bank,
National Association, as rights agent (the "Plan")): (i) while a registration
statement is effective under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such
security, or (ii) if Rule 144(k) may be utilized by the seller of such security
or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the
Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by
the Staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the
legal opinion included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company's
transfer agent on the Effective Date. If any Warrant is exercised at a time when
there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant
Shares issuable in respect thereto, such Warrant Shares shall be issued without
legends (except any legend required by the Plan). If any Warrant is exercised at
any time by cashless exercise at a time when Rule 144(k) is applicable to the
resale of the Warrant Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued without
legends (except any legend required by the Plan). The Company agrees that
following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer
required under this Section 4.1(b), it will, no later than three Trading Days
following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company's transfer
agent of a certificate representing Securities issued with a restrictive legend,
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing
such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company
may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer
agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this
Section.

         Section 4.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that
the issuance and conversion and exercise (as applicable) of the Securities will
result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may
be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges
that its obligation to issue the Securities

                                     - 14 -
<PAGE>
pursuant to the Transaction Documents is unconditional and absolute, regardless
of the effect of any such dilution.

         Section 4.3 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns
Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the
Exchange Act. Upon the request of any such Person, the Company shall deliver to
such Person a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether
it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as any Purchaser owns
Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such
laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available
in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the
Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants
that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to
sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

         Section 4.4 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best
efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale
or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as
defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the
offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers.

         Section 4.5 Reservation and Listing of Securities. The Company shall
maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance
pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to
fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents which number
shall not be less than the Initial Minimum. The Company shall: (i) in the time
and manner required by each Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading
Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to no less than the sum of the Common Shares and the Initial
Minimum, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares to be approved for
listing on each Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to
the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and (iv) maintain the listing of such
shares on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.

         Section 4.6 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The Transfer Agent
Instructions and Conversion Notice, as defined in the Certificate of
Designations, set forth the totality of the procedures with respect to the
conversion of the Preferred Shares. The Transfer Agent Instructions and Form of
Election to Purchase under the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures
with respect to the exercise of the Warrants. No additional legal opinion or
other information or instructions shall be necessary to enable the Purchasers to
convert their Preferred Shares or exercise their Warrants. The Company shall
honor conversions of the Preferred Shares and exercises of the Warrants and
shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and
time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

         Section 4.7 Right of First Refusal.

                                     - 15 -
<PAGE>
                  (a) So long as the Purchasers and their Affiliates
beneficially own shares of Common Stock (such amount to include the Preferred
Shares and the Warrant Shares without regard to limitations on conversion or
exercise) equal to at least fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding on a fully diluted basis (excluding employee stock options)
immediately following the Closing Date, if at any time the Company wishes to,
directly or indirectly, (i) sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or
other disposition of) any of its or the Subsidiaries' equity or equity
equivalent securities at a price per share less than $8.00 per share, including
without limitation any Indebtedness, preferred stock or other instrument or
security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances,
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) borrow any funds or
otherwise become subject to, whether directly or by way of guarantee or
otherwise, any Indebtedness (including capitalized leases and sale/leaseback
transactions) (any such action under (i) or (ii) being referred to as a
"Subsequent Transaction"), pursuant to the terms of a bona fide offer received
from a third party, the Company shall submit such offer in writing of the
Subsequent Transaction to each of the Purchasers (the "Subsequent Transaction
Notice"). The Subsequent Transaction Notice shall describe in reasonable detail
the proposed terms of such Subsequent Transaction including price of the
proposed sale, transfer or issuance, the amount of proceeds intended to be
raised thereunder, the Person with whom such Subsequent Placement is proposed to
be effected, and attached to which shall be a commitment letter, proposal
letter, term sheet or similar document relating thereto. The Subsequent
Transaction Notice shall further state that the Purchasers shall have the right
to enter into a Subsequent Transaction for the same price and on the same terms
and conditions as set forth in the Subsequent Transaction Notice and that if the
Subsequent Transaction involves voting securities, the Company will adjust the
terms and conditions as set forth in the Subsequent Transaction Notice so that
the Purchaser may participate in full without triggering certain rights under
the Plan, the Abbott Standstill Agreement or the Abbott Securities Purchase
Agreement. Within ten (10) days after receipt of the Subsequent Transaction
Notice, each Purchaser shall give notice to the Company of its intent to provide
all financing for a Subsequent Transaction (in full) to the Company on a pro
rata basis determined by the aggregate amount of Preferred Shares held by each
Purchaser on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Subsequent
Transaction Notice. The Company and the Purchasers shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to complete such mutually acceptable documentation by the
later of (a) the time frame, as set forth in the commitment letter, proposal
letter, term sheet or similar document or (b) 30th day following the date of the
delivery of the Subsequent Transaction Notice. If the Purchasers shall fail to
so notify the Company of their willingness to participate in the full Subsequent
Transaction, the Company shall not be obligated to negotiate with any Purchaser
and may effect such Subsequent Transaction on the terms and to the Persons set
forth in the Subsequent Transaction Notice; provided that the Company must
provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Transaction Notice, and the
Purchasers will again have the right of first refusal set forth above in this
paragraph (b), if the Subsequent Transaction subject to the initial Subsequent
Transaction Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in
such Subsequent Transaction Notice within 60 Trading Days after the date of the
initial Subsequent Transaction Notice with the Person identified in the
Subsequent Transaction Notice. If the Purchasers indicate a willingness to
provide financing in excess of the amount set forth in the Subsequent
Transaction Notice, then each Purchaser will be entitled to provide financing
pursuant to such Subsequent Transaction Notice up to an amount equal to such
Purchaser's pro rata portion of the

                                     - 16 -
<PAGE>
aggregate purchase price paid for the Securities under this Agreement, but the
Company shall not be required to accept financing from the Purchasers in an
amount in excess of the amount set forth in the Subsequent Transaction Notice.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section
4.7(a) shall be subject to any right of first refusal or right of maintenance
that the parties to the Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement may have and
to any right of maintenance that Abbott Laboratories may have under Section
8.2(a) of the Abbott Securities Agreement.

                  (b) The restrictions contained in paragraph (a) of this
Section 4.7 shall not apply to: (i) the granting of shares of Common Stock,
restricted stock awards or similar equity incentive awards to employees,
officers and directors of the Company pursuant to any stock option plan duly
adopted by the Company or to the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of such
options or, (ii) the issuance of options, warrants, stock appreciation rights or
shares of Common Stock to bona fide consultants of the Company in payment of
consulting fees of up to an aggregate of $500,000 in any twelve month period
based upon the applicable market price of the Common Stock, (iii) the issuance
of warrants or shares of Common Stock in connection with bona fide acquisitions
by the Company, (iv) the sale of shares of Common Stock to Abbott Laboratories,
or (v) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of any warrant or
option permitted to be issued pursuant to this Section 4.7(d).

                  (c) The Company shall not create any Lien, claim or
encumbrance on any of the Company's properties, except (A) pursuant to
financings completed in accordance with the procedures of (a) above, (B) leases
of equipment or other property and (C) in the ordinary course of business.

         Section 4.8 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall:
(i) on the Closing Date, issue a press release acceptable to the Purchasers
disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) make such other filings
and notices relating to the transactions contemplated hereby in the manner and
time required by the Commission. The Company shall, at least two Trading Days
prior to the filing or dissemination of any disclosure required by this
paragraph, provide a copy thereof to the Purchasers for their review. The
Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing any press
releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and other
communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall
issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement, filing
or other communication without the prior consent of the other, except if such
disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly
provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement, filing or
other communication; provided that in the event any press release or public
statement or filing of other communications made prior to the Closing Date with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, such statement, filing or other
communication shall state that the consummation of this transaction is subject
to customary closing conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of
any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or
Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to
the extent such disclosure (but not any disclosure as to the controlling Persons
thereof) is

                                     - 17 -
<PAGE>
required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall
provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure.

         Section 4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds
from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes.

         Section 4.10 Indemnification of the Purchasers. The Company will
indemnify and hold the Purchasers and their directors, officers, shareholders,
partners, employees and agents (each, a "Purchaser Party") harmless from any and
all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and
expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation,
breach or inaccuracy, or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would
constitute a breach or inaccuracy, of any of the representations, warranties or
covenants made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents. The Company will reimburse such Purchaser Party for its reasonable
legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation
and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such
expenses are incurred.

         Section 4.11 Indemnification of the Company. Each Purchaser will,
severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold the Company and its directors,
officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, a "Company Party")
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of
investigation that any such Company Party may suffer or incur as a result of or
relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy, or any allegation by a
third party that, if true, would constitute a breach or inaccuracy of any of the
representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser in this
Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. Such Purchaser will, severally
and not jointly, reimburse such Company Party for its reasonable legal and other
expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in
connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are
incurred.

Section 4.12 Stockholder Protection Plan; Standstill Agreement; Abbott
Securities Purchase Agreement. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company
that any Purchaser is an "Acquiring Person" under the Plan or in any way could
be deemed to trigger the provisions of the Plan by virtue of receiving
Securities under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser other than those who
are "Institutional Investors" under the Plan severally agree (so long as the
Standstill Agreement is in full force and effect) not to acquire in excess of
14.99% (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d of the Exchange Act) of the
Company's outstanding voting securities. Each Purchaser severally agrees (so
long as Section 6.3(b) of the Abbott Securities Purchase Agreement is in full
force and effect and assuming the expiration and termination of the Standstill
Agreement) not to acquire in excess of 24.99% (calculated in accordance with
Rule 13d of the Exchange Act) of the Company's outstanding voting securities on
any date that such Purchaser holds Warrants or Preferred Shares. At any time
after Section 6.3(b) of the Abbott Securities Purchase Agreement is terminated
in accordance with its terms, each Purchaser severally agrees not to acquire
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise trigger the provisions of the Plan
on any date that such Purchaser holds Warrants or Preferred

                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>
Shares. For so long as the Purchaser holds any Preferred Stock or Warrants, it
agrees that it will not take any action that would make it an "Acquiring Person"
under the Plan (including, without limitation, commencing or announcing an
intention to commence, a tender or exchange offer for the Company's outstanding
securities).

         Section 4.13 [Intentionally Omitted].

         Section 4.14 Certain Trading Restrictions. Each Purchaser agrees that
neither it nor its Affiliates will enter into any short sales.

         Section 4.15 Board of Directors. For so long as Cerberus beneficially
owns shares of Common Stock (such amount to include the Preferred Shares and the
Warrant Shares without regard to limitations on conversion or exercise) equal to
at least ten percent (10%) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully
diluted basis (excluding employee stock options) at any time, Cerberus shall
have the right to appoint one member of the Board of Directors ("Board") (the
"Cerberus Designee"). The Cerberus Designee shall be either Daniel Frank (so
long as he is employed by Cerberus) or Stephen Feinberg (so long as he is
employed by Cerberus). The Cerberus Designee shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement for all reasonable costs incurred in attending such meetings in
accordance with the Company's policies then in effect with respect to such
reimbursement. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the
Cerberus Designee for the actions of such designee as a member of the Board
and/or any committee thereof to the same extent the Company indemnifies all
other members of the Board. As long as the Cerberus Designee remains as a member
of the Board, the Company will maintain director and officer insurance policies
in amounts and on terms, which are reasonable for companies similarly situated
to the Company. Any vacancy in the position of a director appointed pursuant to
this Section 4.15 shall be filled by and only by Cerberus. Such director may,
during his or her term of office, be removed at any time, with or without cause,
by Cerberus. The Company shall give written notice, to Cerberus and to its
designee as director, of each Board meeting and shall provide to such persons an
agenda and minutes of such Board meeting no later than it gives such notice and
provides such items to the other Board members.

or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same
manner, by such Person.

         Section 6.4 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be
waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an
amendment, by the Company and each of the Purchasers or, in the case of a
waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No
waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of
this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a
waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition
or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to
exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right.

         Section 6.5 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do
not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof.

         Section 6.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding

         Section 6.8 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting
in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the "New York Courts"). Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New
York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein
(including with respect to the enforcement of the any of the Transaction
Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party
at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto (including
its affiliates, agents, officers, directors and employees) hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to
trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall
commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction
Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be
reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys fees and other costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
action or proceeding.

         Section 6.9 Survival. The representations and warranties contained
herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery, exercise and/or conversion of
the Securities, as applicable, until the third year anniversary of the Closing
Date. The agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing and the delivery,
exercise and/or conversion of the Securities, as applicable, in accordance with
their terms.

         Section 6.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page
were an original thereof.

         Section 6.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held
to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability
of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby and the

                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a
reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.

         Section 6.12 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of
the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under
the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in
any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.

         Section 6.13 Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights.
The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of
the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.
