     2.2  TERM LOANS

          (a) TERM LOAN A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, on the Closing Date each Lender with a Commitment agrees (severally,
not jointly or jointly and severally) to make term loans (collectively, "Term
Loan A") to Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
Term Loan A Amount. The principal of the Term Loan A shall be repaid in monthly
installments of $125,000, payable on the first day of each month (or, if such
first day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) commencing on
May 1, 2007 through the date of determination as provided in the immediately
succeeding sentence. The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued
and unpaid interest on the Term Loan A shall be due and payable on the earliest
of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the date of

                                        2

<PAGE>

the acceleration of the Term Loan A in accordance with the terms hereof, and
(iii) the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c). All
principal of, interest on, and other amounts payable in respect of the Term Loan
A shall constitute Obligations. Once any portion of the Term Loan A has been
paid or prepaid, it may not be reborrowed.

          (b) TERM LOAN B. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, on the Closing Date each Lender with a Commitment agrees (severally,
not jointly or jointly and severally) to make term loans (collectively, "Term
Loan B", and together with Term Loan A, the "Term Loans") to Borrowers in an
amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan B Amount. The
outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the
Term Loan B shall be due and payable on the earliest of (i) the Maturity Date,
(ii) the date of the acceleration of the Term Loan B in accordance with the
terms hereof, and (iii) the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.1(c). All principal of, interest on, and other amounts payable in
respect of the Term Loan B shall constitute Obligations. Once any portion of the
Term Loan B has been paid or prepaid, it may not be reborrowed.

     2.3 BORROWING PROCEDURES. The Term Loans shall be made by an irrevocable
request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent no later than 7:00 a.m.
(California time) on the Closing Date. Each Lender shall make the amount of such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans available to Agent in immediately
available funds, to Agent's Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. (California time)
on the Closing Date. After Agent's receipt of the proceeds of the Term Loans,
Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Administrative Borrower on
the Closing Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such
proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account; provided, however, that
Agent shall not request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the
obligation to make, the Term Loans if Agent shall have actual knowledge that one
or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 will not
be satisfied on the Closing Date unless such condition has been waived.

     2.4  PAYMENTS.

          (a)  PAYMENTS BY BORROWERS.

               (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments
by Borrowers shall be made to Agent's Account for the account of the Lender
Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m.
(California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent
later than 11:00 a.m. (California time), shall be deemed to have been received
on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue until such following Business Day.

               (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Administrative Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrowers will
not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that
Borrowers have made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in
immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an
amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrowers
do not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender
severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender,
together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from
the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

          (b)  APPORTIONMENT AND APPLICATION.

               (i) Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (including
agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), aggregate principal and
interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to
the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate
held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or
expenses that are for Agent's separate account, after giving effect to any
agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) shall

                                        3

<PAGE>

be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the
Obligation to which a particular fee relates. Except as provided in Section
2.4(b)(iii), all payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments, and
all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied as follows:

                    (A) first, ratably to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due
to Agent or any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full,

                    (B) second, ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to
Agent (for its separate account, after giving effect to any agreements between
Agent and individual Lenders) or any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents
until paid in full,

                    (C) third, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the LC
Obligations and the Term Loans until paid in full,

                    (D) fourth, ratably to pay all principal amounts then due
and payable (other than as a result of an acceleration thereof) with respect to
the LC Obligations and the Term Loans until paid in full,

                    (E) fifth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, ratably to pay the outstanding principal balance of the LC
Obligations and the Term Loans until paid in full,

                    (F) sixth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, ratably to pay any other Obligations, and

                    (G) seventh, to Borrowers (to be wired to the Designated
Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

               (ii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to
the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such
funds as it may be entitled to receive.

               (iii) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, this Section 2.4(b) shall not apply to any payment
made by Borrowers to Agent and specified by Borrowers to be for the payment of
specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of
this Agreement.

               (iv) For purposes of the foregoing, "paid in full" means payment
of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof,
including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically
including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding),
default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or
not any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in
part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

               (v) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority
provisions of this Section 2.4 and other provisions contained in any other Loan
Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority
provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the
fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any
actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms
and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern.

                                        4

<PAGE>

          (c) VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Borrowers have the option, at any time,
upon not less than 10 days prior written notice to Agent, to prepay all or any
portion of the LC Obligations and the Term Loans, subject to the payment of the
Applicable Prepayment Premium if any such voluntary prepayment results in a
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.5.

          (d)  MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

               (i) If, as of the last day of any month, (A) the sum of (x) the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans on such date, plus (y)
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the LC Obligations on such date,
plus (z) the Letter of Credit Usage on such date exceeds (B) the Borrowing Base
(such excess being referred to as the "Limiter Excess"), then Borrowers shall,
within 3 Business Days thereafter, prepay, without penalty or premium, the
outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section
2.4(e) in an aggregate amount equal to the Limiter Excess.

               (ii) Immediately upon the receipt by any Loan Party of the
proceeds of any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition by any Loan Party
of property or assets constituting Collateral (including casualty losses or
condemnations but excluding sales or dispositions which qualify as Permitted
Dispositions (other than clause (l) of the definition of Permitted
Dispositions)), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the
Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(e) in an amount equal to 100% of the
Net Cash Proceeds (including condemnation awards and payments in lieu thereof)
received by such Person in connection with such sales or dispositions; provided
that, so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, (B) Administrative Borrower shall have given Agent prior written
notice of Borrowers' intention to apply such monies to the costs of replacement
of the properties or assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or
the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of
Loan Parties, (C) the monies are held in a cash collateral account in which
Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest, and (D) the applicable
Loan Party completes such replacement, purchase, or construction within 180 days
after the initial receipt of such monies, Loan Parties shall have the option to
apply such monies to the costs of replacement of the property or assets that are
the subject of such sale or disposition or the costs of purchase or construction
of other assets useful in the business of Loan Parties unless and to the extent
that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement,
purchase or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts
remaining in the cash collateral account shall be paid to Agent and applied in
accordance with Section 2.4(e). Nothing contained in this Section 2.4(d)(ii)
shall permit Loan Parties to sell or otherwise dispose of any property or assets
other than in accordance with Section 6.4.

               (iii) Immediately upon the receipt by any Loan Party of any
Extraordinary Receipts with respect to Collateral, Borrowers shall prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section
2.4(e) in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any
reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts.

               (iv) Immediately upon the issuance or incurrence by any Loan
Party of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.1)
or the issuance by any Loan Party of any shares of Loan Parties' Stock (other
than in the event that any Loan Party forms a Subsidiary in accordance with the
terms hereof, the issuance by such Subsidiary of Stock to any such Loan Party),
Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in
accordance with Section 2.4(e) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash
Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such issuance or incurrence.
The provisions of this Section 2.4(d)(iv) shall not be deemed to be implied
consent to any such issuance or incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

          (e) APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Each prepayment pursuant to Section
2.4(d) shall be applied ratably to the outstanding principal amount of the LC
Obligations and the Term Loans until paid in full. Each such prepayment of Term
Loan A shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of Term
Loan A in the inverse order of maturity.

                                        5

<PAGE>

     2.5  INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

     2.6 INTEREST RATES AND LETTER OF CREDIT FEE: RATES, PAYMENTS, AND
CALCULATIONS.

          (a) INTEREST RATES. Except as provided in clause (c) below, all
Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the
Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily
Balance thereof as follows: (i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan,
at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, and (ii)
otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin.

          The foregoing notwithstanding, at no time shall any portion of the
Obligations bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate less
than 3.75%. To the extent that interest accrued hereunder at the rate set forth
herein would be less than the foregoing minimum daily rate, the interest rate
chargeable hereunder for such day automatically shall be deemed increased to the
minimum rate.

          (b) LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. Borrowers shall pay Agent (for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders, subject to any agreements between Agent and individual
Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees,
and costs set forth in Section 2.12(e)) which shall accrue at a rate equal to
1.50% per annum times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit.

          (c) DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, but solely at the election of Agent or the Required
Lenders,

               (i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that
have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear
interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage
points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, and

               (ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for above shall be
increased to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable
hereunder.

          (d) PAYMENT. Except as provided to the contrary in Section 2.11 or
Section 2.13(a), interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable
hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month
(or, if such first day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day)
during the term hereof. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent, from time to time,
without prior notice to Borrowers (except as otherwise specifically provided in
any Loan Document), to charge all interest and fees (when due and payable), all
Lender Group Expenses (as and when incurred), all charges, commissions, fees,
and costs provided for in Section 2.12(e) (as and when accrued or incurred), all
fees and costs provided for in Section 2.11 (as and when accrued or incurred),
and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document to
Borrowers' Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Obligations
hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate
Loans hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by being
charged to the Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute Obligations
hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate
Loans hereunder.

          (e) COMPUTATION. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan
Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number
of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time
hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate
automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal
to such change in the Base Rate.

          (f) INTENT TO LIMIT CHARGES TO MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE. In no event shall
the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts
paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law
that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem
applicable. Borrowers and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this
Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner
of payment stated within it; provided, however, that,

                                        6

<PAGE>

anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates
of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable
law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall
be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment
received from Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received,
shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the
extent of such excess.

     2.7  CASH MANAGEMENT.

          (a) Subject to Section 3.6(b), Borrowers shall and shall cause each of
their Restricted Subsidiaries to (i) establish and maintain cash management
services of a type and on terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent at one or more
of the banks set forth on Schedule 2.7(a) (each a "Cash Management Bank"), and
shall request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that
all of their and their Restricted Subsidiaries' Account Debtors forward payment
of the amounts owed by them directly to such Cash Management Bank, and (ii)
deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the
first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all of their Collections
(including those sent directly by their Account Debtors to Borrowers or their
Restricted Subsidiaries) into a bank account in Agent's name (a "Cash Management
Account") at one of the Cash Management Banks.

          (b) Each Cash Management Bank shall establish and maintain Cash
Management Agreements with Agent and Borrowers, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Agent. Each such Cash Management Agreement shall provide, among
other things, that (i) the Cash Management Bank will comply with any
instructions (each, a "Cash Disposition Instruction"), originated by Agent
directing the disposition of the funds in such Cash Management Account without
further consent by a Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, (ii)
the Cash Management Bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other
claim against the applicable Cash Management Account, other than for payment of
its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of
such Cash Management Account and for returned checks or other items of payment,
(iii) at any time after which the Agent so instructs such Cash Management Bank
(a "Cash Sweep Instruction"), it immediately will forward by daily sweep all
amounts in the applicable Cash Management Account to the Agent's Account until
such time (if any) as Agent notifies it that the Cash Sweep Instruction is
terminated pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 2.7(b); and (iv) if
clause (iii) is not applicable, then Agent shall direct the Cash Management bank
to immediately transfer all such amounts to Borrowers' Designated Account. Agent
may issue a Cash Sweep Instruction or Cash Disposition Instruction only on or
after any date that: an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

          (c) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Administrative Borrower may amend Schedule 2.7(a) to add or replace
a Cash Management Bank or Cash Management Account; provided, however, that (i)
such prospective Cash Management Bank shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent,
and (ii) prior to the time of the opening of such Cash Management Account, a
Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, and such prospective Cash
Management Bank shall have executed and delivered to Agent a Cash Management
Agreement. Borrowers (or their Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable) shall
close any of their Cash Management Accounts (and establish replacement cash
management accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in
any event within 45 days of notice from Agent that the creditworthiness of any
Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment, or
as promptly as practicable and in any event within 75 days of notice from Agent
that the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or
performance of the Cash Management Bank with respect to Cash Management Accounts
or Agent's liability under any Cash Management Agreement with such Cash
Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment.

          (d) Subject to Section 3.6(b), the Cash Management Accounts shall be
cash collateral accounts subject to Control Agreements.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent
acknowledges that the Cash Management Accounts may contain from time to time
Trust Funds (as defined below), which, by law,

                                        7

<PAGE>

Borrowers and their Subsidiaries are required to collect and remit from time to
time but which, pending such remittance, shall be contained or held in the Cash
Management Accounts. Upon Agent's delivery of a Cash Sweep Instruction, Cash
Disposition Instruction or any other exercise of control by Agent under a
Control Agreement or a Cash Management Agreement, Agent agrees to notify
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of such exercise (which notice may be by
delivery of a copy of such Cash Sweep Instruction, if any). Upon receipt of such
notice, Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall send written notice to Agent
certifying the type and amount of any Trust Funds contained or held in the Cash
Management Accounts. Within 3 Business Days after receipt of such notice by
Agent, Agent shall remit the amount of the Trust Funds to Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries for payment to the appropriate Person; provided, that, during such
3 Business Day period, Agent shall have the right to ask for further
clarification, verification or other supporting documentation with respect to
any such type or amount certified by Borrowers or their Subsidiaries as
constituting Trust Funds and Agent shall not be required to remit the amount of
such Trust Funds so certified unless and until Agent is reasonably satisfied as
to such clarification, verification or other supporting documentation. For the
purposes of this Agreement, "Trust Funds" means all funds held by Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries, as a fiduciary, all taxes required to be collected or
withheld (including, without limitation, federal and state withholding taxes
(including the employer's share thereof), taxes owing to any governmental unit
thereof, sales, use and excise taxes, customs duties, import duties and
independent customs brokers' charges), other taxes for which Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries may become liable, and accrued and unpaid employee compensation
(including salaries, wages, benefits and expense reimbursements).

     2.8 CREDITING PAYMENTS. The receipt of any payment item by Agent (whether
from transfers to Agent by the Cash Management Banks pursuant to the Cash
Management Agreements or otherwise) shall not be considered a payment on account
unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal
funds made to the Agent's Account or unless and until such payment item is
honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when
presented for payment, then Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such
payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary
contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by
Agent only if it is received into the Agent's Account on a Business Day on or
before 11:00 a.m. (California time). If any payment item is received into the
Agent's Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on a
Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the
opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

     2.9 DESIGNATED ACCOUNT. Administrative Borrower agrees to establish and
maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose
of receiving the proceeds of the Term Loans.

     2.10 MAINTENANCE OF LOAN ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS OF OBLIGATIONS. Agent shall
maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the "Loan Account")
on which Borrowers will be charged with the LC Obligations and the Term Loans
made by Agent to Borrowers or for Borrowers' account, and with all other payment
Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued
interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with
Section 2.8, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by
Agent from Borrowers or for Borrowers' account, including all amounts received
in the Agent's Account from any Cash Management Bank. In accordance with Section
2.6(d), Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to
Administrative Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an
itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses
owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively
presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between
Borrowers and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by
Administrative Borrower, Administrative Borrower shall deliver to Agent written
objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such
statements.

     2.11 FEES. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, as and when due and payable under
the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

                                        8

     2.12 LETTERS OF CREDIT.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing
Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrowers (each, an
"L/C") or to purchase participations or execute indemnities or reimbursement
obligations (each such undertaking, an "L/C Undertaking") solely with respect to
the Existing Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, in no event shall Issuing Lender or any other Lender be
required to issue any L/C or L/C Undertaking (or otherwise advance any credit in
respect thereof) after the Closing Date other than with respect to the Existing
Letters of Credit, and once any portion of the LC Obligations has been paid or
prepaid it may not be reborrowed. If Issuing Lender is obligated to advance
funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such L/C
Disbursement to Issuing Lender upon receiving written or telephonic notice of
such L/C Disbursement by paying to Agent an amount equal to such L/C
Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that such
L/C Disbursement is made, provided, that Administrative Borrower has received
written or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m.,
California time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by
Administrative Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than
11:00 a.m., California time, on the Business Day immediately following the day
that Administrative Borrower receives such notice, pursuant to the foregoing,
and, in the absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and
automatically shall be deemed to be an Obligation hereunder (an "LC Obligation"
and, collectively, the "LC Obligations") and, thereafter, shall bear interest at
the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under Section 2.6 (subject to
conversion to LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.13). To the extent
an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an LC Obligation hereunder, Borrowers'
obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced
by the resulting LC Obligation. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any
payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such
payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments
pursuant to Section 2.12(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such
Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.

          (b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement
pursuant to Section 2.12(a), each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of
any LC Obligation deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection on the same
terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested such LC Obligation and Agent
shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the
Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of
Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part
of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have
granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a
participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share
of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such
Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender under such
Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the
account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each L/C
Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the
date due as provided in clause (a) of this Section, or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account
of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each
L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(b)
shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made
notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default
or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3 hereof. If any
such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender in respect of
such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed
to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender)
shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together
with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

          (c) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold
the Lender Group harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and
reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Lender Group

                                        9

<PAGE>

arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however,
that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost,
expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender
Group. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer's regulations
and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender's
interpretations of any L/C issued by Issuing Lender to or for such Borrower's
account, even though this interpretation may be different from such Borrower's
own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that the Lender Group shall not be
liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission,
in following Borrowers' instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit
or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower
understands that the L/C Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify
the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by
Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless with respect to any
loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred
by the Lender Group under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the Lender Group's
indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower
shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or
liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group. Each
Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Lender Group nor the
Issuing Lender shall be responsible for delays, errors, or omissions resulting
from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Letter of Credit.

          (d) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer
to deliver to the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings
and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying
Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender's instructions
with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of
Credit and the related application.

          (e) Any and all issuance charges, commissions, fees, and costs
incurred by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be
Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately shall be
reimbursable by Borrowers to Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it
being acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the
issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum
times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance
charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also
imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and
renewals.

          (f) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any
applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation
or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the
Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group with any direction, request, or
requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any
Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the
Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor
thereto):

               (i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be
imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or

               (ii) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the
Lender Group any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or
any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto;

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost
to the Lender Group of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter
of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by the Lender
Group, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable
period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced,
notify Administrative Borrower, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts
as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Lender Group for such
additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from
the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. The determination by

                                       10

<PAGE>

Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate
setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the
absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding
on all of the parties hereto.

     2.13 LIBOR OPTION.

          (a) INTEREST AND INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. In lieu of having interest
charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall have the option
(the "LIBOR Option") to have interest on all or a portion of the Term Loans or
LC Obligations be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate.
Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (provided, however, that, subject
to the following clauses (ii) and (iii), in the case of any Interest Period
greater than 3 months in duration, interest shall be payable at 3 month
intervals after the commencement of the applicable Interest Period and on the
last day of such Interest Period), (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in
consequence of which the Required Lenders or Agent on behalf thereof have
elected to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or
(iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last
day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Administrative Borrower properly
has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of
interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any
time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers no
longer shall have the option to request that Obligations bear interest at a rate
based upon the LIBOR Rate and Agent shall have the right to convert the interest
rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Base
Rate Loans hereunder.

          (b) LIBOR ELECTION.

               (i) Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to
time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to
exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (California
time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed
Interest Period (the "LIBOR Deadline"). Notice of Administrative Borrower's
election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Obligations and an
Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a
LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic
notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery
to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (California
time) on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice,
Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders.

               (ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on
Borrowers. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, each Borrower shall
indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss,
cost, or expense incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment
of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any
LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses,
collectively, "Funding Losses"). Funding Losses shall, with respect to Agent or
any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount determined by Agent or such Lender to
be the excess, if any, of (1) the amount of interest that would have accrued on
the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the
LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the period from the date
of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or,
in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that
would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus (2) the amount of interest
that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate
which Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the
commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period
in the London interbank market. A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to
Administrative Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that Agent or such
Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be conclusive
absent manifest error unless the Administrative

                                       11

<PAGE>

Borrower shall object in writing within seven (7) Business Days of receipt
thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in detail.

               (iii) Borrowers shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in
effect at any given time. Borrowers only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR
Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess
thereof.

          (c) PREPAYMENTS. Borrowers may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans or convert such
Loans to Base Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that
LIBOR Rate Loans are so prepaid or converted on any date that is not the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any
automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of
Borrowers' and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries' Collections in
accordance with Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason, including early
termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion
of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, each Borrower shall indemnify,
defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against
any and all Funding Losses in accordance with clause (b)(ii) above.

          (d) SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LIBOR RATE.

               (i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any
Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased
costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or
increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring
subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including
changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in tax laws
relating to taxes based on income, profits, receipts or capital) and changes in
the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which
additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing
interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give
Administrative Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment
and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its
receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Administrative Borrower may, by
notice to such affected Lender (y) require such Lender to furnish to
Administrative Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such
LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment
accompanied by a certificate of such Lender stating that it is charging such
similar increased costs to similarly situated borrowers, or (z) repay the LIBOR
Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any
amounts due under clause (b)(ii) above).

               (ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any
law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the
interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof,
in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for
such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or
maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such
Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and
Administrative Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each
other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are
outstanding, the date specified in such Lender's notice shall be deemed to be
the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon
the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate
then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrowers shall not be entitled to
elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be
unlawful or impractical to do so.

          (e) NO REQUIREMENT OF MATCHED FUNDING. Anything to the contrary
contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of
their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund
or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR
Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its
Participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at
the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the
amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.

                                       12

<PAGE>

     2.14 CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. If, after the date hereof, either (i) the
adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding
capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the
interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with
the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by any Lender or its parent bank
holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the
effect of reducing the return on such Lender's or such holding company's capital
as a consequence of such Lender's Commitments hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such
adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such
holding company's then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and
assuming the full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount deemed in
good faith by such Lender to be material and the result is an increase in the
cost to any Lender of funding or maintaining any LC Obligations or Term Loans to
Borrowers, then such Lender may notify Administrative Borrower and Agent
thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay such Lender on
demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such
reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by such
Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such
Lender's calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was
based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error).
In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

     2.15 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF BORROWERS.

          (a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial
accommodations to be provided by the Lender Group under this Agreement, for the
mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration
of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability
for the Obligations.

          (b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint
and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and
performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any
Obligations arising under this Section 2.15), it being the intention of the
parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several
obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

          (c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any
payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any
of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event
the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such
Obligation.

          (d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this
Section 2.15 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse
Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full
extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

          (e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each
Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability,
notice of any advances made under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the
occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment
under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Agent
or Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of
diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in
connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement).
Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or
postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the
acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any
partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by
Agent or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower
in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision
of

                                       13

<PAGE>

this Agreement, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or
in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the
addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other
action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Agent or Lender
with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective
Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently
to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable
laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this
Section 2.15 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any
Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section
2.15, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the
Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under
this Section 2.15 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to
the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this
Section 2.15 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding
up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar
proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Agent or Lender.

          (f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that
such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and
of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear
upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents
and warrants to Agent and Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands
the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants
that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of Borrowers' financial
condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other
circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the
Obligations.

          (g) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an
election of remedies by Agent or any Lender, even though that election of
remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a
guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Agent's or such Lender's rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against such Borrower by the operation of Section
580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

          (h) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower
may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property. This means, among
other things:

          (i) Agent and Lenders may collect from such Borrower without first
foreclosing on any Collateral pledged by Borrowers.

               (ii) If Agent or any Lender forecloses on any Real Property
Collateral pledged by Borrowers:

                    (A) The amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the
price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the
collateral is worth more than the sale price.

                    (B) Agent and Lenders may collect from such Borrower even if
Agent or Lenders, by foreclosing on the Real Property Collateral, has destroyed
any right such Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such
Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property. These
rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses
based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil
Procedure.

          (i) The provisions of this Section 2.15 are made for the benefit of
Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced
by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as
occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any such
Agent, Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims
or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any
remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to

                                       14

<PAGE>

any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations
hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.15
shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full
or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof,
made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any Agent or Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section
2.15 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been
made.

          (j) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its
rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to
any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
any payments made by it to Agent or Lenders with respect to any of the
Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the
Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may
have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to any Agent or
Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made
subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any
increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior
payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency,
bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar
proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its
debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations
shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any
character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any
other Borrower therefor.

          (k) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts
due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower
is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations.
Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or
otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to
such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or
receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be
collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for Agent, and such
Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to Agent for application to the
Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(b).

3. CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT.

     3.1 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE INITIAL EXTENSION OF CREDIT. The obligation
of each Lender to make its initial extension of credit provided for hereunder,
is subject to the fulfillment, to the satisfaction of Agent and each Lender of
each of the conditions precedent set forth on Schedule 3.1 (the making of such
initial extension of credit by a Lender being conclusively deemed to be its
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent).

     3.2 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

     3.3 TERM. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term
ending on November 30, 2010 (the "Maturity Date"). The foregoing
notwithstanding, the Lender Group, upon the election of the Required Lenders,
shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement
immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default.

     3.4 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. On the date of termination of this Agreement,
all Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of Borrowers
with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit) immediately shall become due and
payable without notice or demand and Borrowers agree to either (i) provide cash
collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of those Lenders in an amount
equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) cause the original Letters
of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender). No termination of this
Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrowers or their respective
Restricted Subsidiaries of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder or
under any other Loan Document and the Agent's Liens in

                                       15

<PAGE>

the Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in
full and the Lender Group's obligations to provide additional credit hereunder
have been terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the
Obligations have been paid in full and the Lender Group's obligations to provide
additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably,
Agent will, at Borrowers' sole expense, execute and deliver any termination
statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of trademarks,
discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release
documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary
to release, as of record, the Agent's Liens and all notices of security
interests and liens previously filed by Agent with respect to the Obligations.

     3.5 EARLY TERMINATION BY BORROWERS. Borrowers have the option, at any time
upon 30 days prior written notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent, to
terminate this Agreement by paying to Agent, in cash, the Obligations (including
either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Agent for the benefit of
those Lenders in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii)
causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender), in
full, together with any Applicable Prepayment Premium. If Administrative
Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, then, absent an agreement to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, the Commitments shall terminate and Borrowers shall be obligated to
repay the Obligations (including either (i) providing cash collateral to be held
by Agent for the benefit of those Lenders in an amount equal to 105% of the
Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be
returned to the Issuing Lender), in full, together with any Applicable
Prepayment Premium, on the date set forth as the date of termination of this
Agreement in such notice.

     3.6 CONDITIONS SUBSEQUENT TO THE INITIAL EXTENSION OF CREDIT. The
obligation of the Lender Group (or any member thereof) to continue to maintain
the LC Obligations and the Term Loans (or otherwise extend credit hereunder) is

Adverse Change, each Material Contract (a) is in full force and effect and is
binding upon and enforceable against each Person that is a party thereto in

(except as not otherwise prohibited hereby), and (c) is not in default due to

5.   AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

          Each Borrower covenants and agrees that, until termination of all of
the Commitments and payment in full of the Obligations, Borrowers shall and
shall cause each of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to do all of the
following:

     5.1 ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. Maintain a system of accounting that enables
Borrowers to produce financial statements in accordance with GAAP and maintain
records pertaining to the Collateral that contain

                                       22

information as from time to time reasonably may be requested by Agent. Borrowers
also shall keep a reporting system that shows all additions, sales, claims,
returns, and allowances with respect to their and their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries' sales.

     5.2 COLLATERAL REPORTING. Provide Agent with each of the reports set forth
on Schedule 5.2 at the times specified therein. In addition, each Borrower
agrees to cooperate fully with Agent to facilitate and implement, where

electronic reporting of each of the items set forth above.

     5.3 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, REPORTS, CERTIFICATES. Deliver to Agent each of
the financial statements, reports, or other items set forth on Schedule 5.3 at
the time specified herein. In addition, Parent agrees that no Restricted
Subsidiary of Parent will have a fiscal year different from that of Parent.

     5.4 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

     5.5 INSPECTION. Subject to any specific limitations set forth in any other
Loan Document, permit Agent and each of its duly authorized representatives or
agents to visit any of its properties and inspect any of its assets or books and
records, to examine and make copies of its books and records, and to discuss its
affairs, finances, and accounts with, and to be advised as to the same by, its
officers and employees at such reasonable times and intervals as Agent may
designate and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, with reasonable
prior notice to Administrative Borrower.

     5.6 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. Maintain and preserve all of their
properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct to their business
in good working order and condition, ordinary wear, tear, and casualty excepted
(and except where the failure to do so could not be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Change), and comply at all times with the provisions of all
material leases to which it is a party as lessee (except where the failure to do
so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change), so
as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.

     5.7 TAXES. Cause all material assessments and taxes, whether real,
personal, or otherwise, due or payable by, or imposed, levied, or assessed
against Borrowers, their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or any of their
respective assets to be paid in full, before delinquency or before the
expiration of any extension period, except to the extent that the validity of
such assessment or tax shall be the subject of a Permitted Protest. Borrowers
will and will cause their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to make timely
payment or deposit of all tax payments and withholding taxes required of them by
applicable laws, including those laws concerning F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A., state
disability, and local, state, and federal income taxes, and will, upon request,
furnish Agent with proof reasonably satisfactory to Agent indicating that the
applicable Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary has made such payments
or deposits (except to the extent the subject of a Permitted Protest).

     5.8 INSURANCE.

          (a) At Borrowers' expense, maintain insurance respecting their and
their respective Restricted Subsidiaries' assets wherever located, covering loss
or damage by fire, theft, explosion, and all other hazards and risks as
ordinarily are insured against by other Persons engaged in the same or similar
businesses and in the same geographic area. Borrowers also shall maintain
business interruption, public liability, and product liability insurance, as
well as insurance against larceny, embezzlement, and criminal misappropriation.
All such policies of insurance shall be in such amounts and with such insurance
companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Borrowers shall deliver
copies of all such policies (other than directors and officers policies) to
Agent with an endorsement naming Agent as the sole loss payee (under a
reasonably satisfactory lender's loss payable endorsement) or additional
insured, as appropriate. Each policy of insurance or

                                       23

<PAGE>

endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than
30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy
for any reason whatsoever.

          (b) Administrative Borrower shall give Agent prompt notice of any loss
exceeding $500,000 covered by such insurance. So long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall have the exclusive right to adjust
any losses payable under any such insurance policies which are less than
$500,000. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, or in the case of any losses payable under such insurance exceeding
$500,000, Agent shall have the exclusive right to adjust any losses payable
under any such insurance policies, without any liability to Borrowers whatsoever
in respect of such adjustments. Any monies received as payment for any loss
under any insurance policy mentioned above (other than liability insurance
policies) or as payment of any award or compensation for condemnation or taking
by eminent domain, shall be paid over to Agent to be applied in accordance with
Section 2.4(d).

          (c) Borrowers will not, and will not suffer or permit their respective
Restricted Subsidiaries to, take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this
Section 5.8, unless Agent is included thereon as an additional insured or loss
payee under a lender's loss payable endorsement. Administrative Borrower
promptly shall notify Agent whenever such separate insurance is taken out,
specifying the insurer thereunder and full particulars as to the policies
evidencing the same, and copies of such policies promptly shall be provided to
Agent.

     5.9 LOCATION OF INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT. Keep Borrowers' and their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries' Inventory and Equipment (other than (i)
vehicles, (ii) Equipment out for repair, (iii) Equipment and Inventory in
transit between locations identified on Schedule 4.5(b), (iv) items stored with
a bailee, warehouseman, or similar party to the extent disclosed on Schedule

and their chief executive offices only at the locations identified on Schedule
4.7(b); provided, however, that Administrative Borrower may amend Schedule
4.5(b) or Schedule 4.7(b) so long as (A) with respect to Schedule 4.5(b), such
amendment occurs by written notice to Agent in accordance with the last sentence
of Section 4.5, and with respect to Schedule 4.7(b), such amendment occurs by
written notice to Agent not less than 30 days prior to the date on which such
chief executive office is relocated, (B) such new location is within the
continental United States, and (C) at the time of such written notification, the
applicable Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary (x) with respect to any location at
which books and records (other than prior years' historical records) are
maintained or Inventory and/or Equipment having an aggregate value of $2,000,000
or greater is maintained, obtains a Collateral Access Agreement with respect
thereto and (y) with respect to any other location, uses its commercially
reasonable efforts to provide Agent a Collateral Access Agreement with respect
thereto.

     5.10 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Comply with the requirements of all applicable
laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority, other than
laws, rules, regulations, and orders the non-compliance with which, individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Change.

     5.11 LEASES. Except for matters which could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Change, pay when due all rents and other amounts
payable under any material leases to which any Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries is a party or by which any Borrower's or any of their respective
Restricted Subsidiaries' properties and assets are bound, unless such payments
are the subject of a Permitted Protest.

     5.12 EXISTENCE. Except as permitted by Section 6.3 and Section 6.4, at all
times preserve and keep in full force and effect each Borrower's and each of
their respective Restricted Subsidiaries' valid existence and, except to the
extent failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse

that an Environmental Lien has been filed against any of the real or personal
property of any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii)
commencement of any Environmental Action or notice that an Environmental Action

administrative order which reasonably could be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Change.

foregoing, Agent and Lenders shall not be obligated to consent to any such

8.   THE LENDER GROUP'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

     8.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation,
of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders (at their election but without
notice of their election and without demand) may authorize and instruct Agent to
do any one or more of the following on behalf of the Lender Group (and Agent,
acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, shall do the same on
behalf of the Lender Group), all of which are authorized by Borrowers:

          (a) Declare all or any portion of the Obligations, whether evidenced
by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately
due and payable;

          (b) Cease or restrict advancing money or extending credit to or for
the benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents,
or under any other agreement between Borrowers and the Lender Group;

          (c) Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as to
any future liability or obligation of the Lender Group, but without affecting
any of the Agent's Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the
Obligations; and

          (d) The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Loan Document.

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default described in Section 7.4 or Section 7.5, in addition to the remedies
set forth above, without any notice to Borrowers or any other Person or any act
by the Lender Group, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the
Obligations then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and all fees and all other amounts due under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, shall automatically and immediately become due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of
which are expressly waived by Borrowers.

     8.2 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be
cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all

                                       34

<PAGE>

other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code,
by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy
shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of
Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall
constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

9.   TAXES AND EXPENSES.

          If any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails to pay any
monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of
leased properties or assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases)
due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required
proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement,
then, Agent, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to such Person, may
do any or all of the following: (a) except for payments which are the subject of
a Permitted Protest, make payment of the same or any part thereof, or (b) in the
case of the failure to comply with Section 5.8 hereof, obtain and maintain
insurance policies of the type described in Section 5.8 and take any action with
respect to such policies as Agent deems prudent in its Permitted Discretion. Any
such amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Lender Group Expenses and any such
payments shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar
payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default
under this Agreement. Except in connection with payments made by Agent pursuant
to clause (a) above, Agent need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of,
any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for
the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due
and owing.

10.  WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

     10.1 DEMAND; PROTEST; ETC. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment,
nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal
of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the
Lender Group on which any Borrower may in any way be liable.

     10.2 THE LENDER GROUP'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. Each Borrower hereby
agrees that: (a) so long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any, under
the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or
responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage
thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any
diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of
loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.

     10.3 INDEMNIFICATION. Each Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold
the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant
(each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by
law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions,
investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties and damages,
and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts and consultants
and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in
connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are
incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted
against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a
result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or
administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of
this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Borrowers' and their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries' compliance with the terms of the Loan
Documents, (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding
related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds
of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person
is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner
related thereto, and (c) in connection with or arising out of any presence or
release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or
properties owned, leased or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities and Costs or Remedial
Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties of

                                       35

<PAGE>

any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities") provided, however, that any claim with respect to
taxes should be governed solely by Section 15.11. The foregoing to the contrary
notwithstanding, Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person
under this Section 10.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court
of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the
Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other
Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which
Borrowers were required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such
payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be
indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH
RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR
ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY
OTHER PERSON.

11.  NOTICES.

AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

13.  ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.

     13.1 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

          (a) Any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each
an "Assignee") that are Eligible Transferees all, or any ratable part of all, of
the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such
Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000; provided, however, that Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned
to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with
payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the
Assignee, have been given to Administrative Borrower and Agent by such Lender
and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to
Administrative Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and (iii) the
assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent's separate account a
processing fee in the amount of $3,500. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the payment of any fees shall not be required and the
Assignee need not be an Eligible Transferee if such assignment is in connection
with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or
any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the assigning
Lender.

          (b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assigning Lender
(with a copy to Administrative Borrower) that it has received an executed
Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee and
the satisfaction of the other conditions in Section 13.1(a), (i) the Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan
Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by
it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except
with respect to Section 10.3 hereof) and be released from any future obligations
under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be
a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall effect a novation between
Borrowers and the Assignee; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination
of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender's obligations under Article
16 and Section 16.7 of this Agreement.

          (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished
pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty
and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
Borrowers or the performance or observance by Borrowers of any of their
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant
hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without
reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such
actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to
Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are

                                       38
<PAGE>

reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will
perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required
to be performed by it as a Lender.

          (d) Immediately upon Agent's receipt of the required processing fee
payment and the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance and the satisfaction of
the other conditions in Section 13.1(a), this Agreement shall be deemed to be
amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition
of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising
therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such
Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

          (e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks,
financial institutions, or other Persons (a "Participant") participating
interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, the Commitment, and the
other rights and interests of that Lender (the "Originating Lender") hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating
Lender shall remain a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the
Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the
Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a "Lender" hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender's obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain
solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers,
Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the
Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no
Originating Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under
which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent
or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to
the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this
Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date
of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B)
reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such
Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in
any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such
Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount
of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender, or (E)
change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments
or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be
determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if
amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been
declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in
respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to
the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant
only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such
Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other
Lenders, Agent, Borrowers, the Collections of Borrowers or their respective
Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No
Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of
decisions by the Lenders among themselves.

          (f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of
Section 16.7, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter
may have relating to Borrowers and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries and
their respective businesses.

          (g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender
may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of
its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve
Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S.
Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may
enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under
applicable law.

                                       39

<PAGE>

          (h) Agent (on behalf of Borrowers) shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, a register (the "Register") on which it enters the name of a Lender
as the registered owner of each Obligation held by such Lender. Other than in
connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its
Commitment to an Affiliate of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan may be assigned
or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on
the Register and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered
Loan may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the
Register, together with the surrender of any note, if any, evidencing the same
duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale
duly executed by) the holder of such note, if any, whereupon, at the request of
the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new notes in the same
aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or
transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered
Loan, Borrowers shall treat the Person in whose name such Loan is registered as
the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all
other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of any
assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Commitment to an Affiliate
of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the
assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain a register comparable
to the Register.

          13.2 SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however,
that Borrowers may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder
without the Lenders' prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall
be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall
release any Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder
pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to
Section 13.1 hereof, no consent or approval by any Borrower is required in
connection with any such assignment.

14.  AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

     14.1 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any
departure by Borrowers or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required
Lenders) and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Loan Parties) and then
any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such
waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the
Lenders affected thereby and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Loan
Parties), do any of the following:

          (a) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender,

          (b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other
Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due
hereunder or under any other Loan Document,

          (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or
other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document,

          (d) change the Pro Rata Share that is required to take any action
hereunder,

          (e) amend or modify this Section or any provision of this Agreement
providing for consent or other action by all Lenders,

          (f) other than as permitted by Section 15.12, release Agent's Lien in
and to any of the Collateral,

          (g) change the definition of "Required Lenders" or "Pro Rata Share",

                                       40

<PAGE>

          (h) contractually subordinate any of the Agent's Liens,

          (i) release any Borrower or any Guarantor from any obligation for the
payment of money, or

          (j) amend any of the provisions of Section 15.

and, provided further, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, affect
the rights or duties of Agent or Issuing Lender, as applicable, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing notwithstanding, any
amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with
respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that
relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that
does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrowers, shall not require
consent by or the agreement of Borrowers.

          14.2 REPLACEMENT OF HOLDOUT LENDER.

          (a) If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder
requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and
a Lender ("Holdout Lender") fails to give its consent, authorization, or
agreement, then Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to
the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more
substitute Lenders (each, a "Replacement Lender"), and the Holdout Lender shall
have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the
Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date
shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given.

          (b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout
Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and
Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the
outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the
Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind
whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver
any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such
replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered
such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be
made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until such time as the
Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments,
and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the
Holdout Lender's Pro Rata Share of LC Obligations, in an amount equal to its Pro
Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit.

     14.3 NO WAIVERS; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure by Agent or any Lender to
exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate
as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless
it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by
Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent's and each
Lender's rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers or any of
their respective Restricted Subsidiaries of any provision of this Agreement.
Agent's and each Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that
Agent or any Lender may have.

15.  AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.

     15.1 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF AGENT. Each Lender hereby designates
and appoints WFF as its representative under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and
deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan
Document and to

                                       41

<PAGE>

exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent
by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the
express conditions contained in this Section 15. The provisions of this Section
15 (other than the proviso to Section 15.11(a)) are solely for the benefit of
Agent, and the Lenders, and Borrowers and their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the
provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein,
nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against Agent; it being expressly understood and
agreed that the use of the word "Agent" is for convenience only, that WFF is
merely the representative of the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties
set forth herein. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or
refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from
taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents
that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the
right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in
effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with the Loan Documents and its customary
business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the
Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrowers and their respective
Restricted Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all
financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements,
documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements
with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make extensions of credit, for itself or
on behalf of Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive,
apply, and distribute the Collections of Borrowers and their respective
Restricted Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain
such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and
appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes
with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Borrowers and their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and
all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to the Loan
Parties, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrowers and their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as
provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses
as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment
of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

     15.2 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as
long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     15.3 LIABILITY OF AGENT. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct),
or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent
under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any
other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender
to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of Borrowers or the
books or records or properties of any of Borrowers' Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

                                       42

<PAGE>

     15.4 RELIANCE BY AGENT. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic
method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document
or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any
Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such
advice of legal counsel and until such advice is received, Agent shall act, or
refrain from acting, as it deems reasonably advisable. If Agent so requests, it
shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against
any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking
or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite
Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

     15.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT. Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and
expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except
with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless
Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Administrative
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default, and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." Agent promptly
will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of
Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual
knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other
Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely
responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to
Section 15.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event
of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with
Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such
request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain
from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable.

     15.6 CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the
Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no
act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrowers
and their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute
any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each
Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of Borrowers and any other Person party to a Loan Document, and
all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend
credit to Borrowers. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as
it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and
any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and
other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by
Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of
Borrowers and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the
possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

     15.7 COSTS AND EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION. Agent may incur and pay Lender
Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for
the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations
pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys fees and

                                       43

<PAGE>

expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and
appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees
and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to
maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse
Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from
the Collections of Borrowers and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries
received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses
prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not
reimbursed for such costs and expenses from the Collections of Borrowers and
their respective Restricted Subsidiaries received by Agent, each Lender hereby
agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse Agent for the
amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the
Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers
and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), according to their
Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided,
however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related
Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such
Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including reasonable
attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, to the extent that Agent is
not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking
in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the
resignation or replacement of Agent.

     15.8 AGENT IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. WFF and its Affiliates may make loans
to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire
equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrowers and their
respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan
Documents as though WFF were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without
notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members
of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, WFF or its
Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their respective
Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that
prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders
acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such
confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such
information to them. The terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include WFF in its
individual capacity.

     15.9 SUCCESSOR AGENT. Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days notice to the
Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall
appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed
prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint,
after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially
breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of
applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace
Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders. In any such event, upon the
acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent
shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and
the term "Agent" shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent's
appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring
Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 15 shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted
appointment as Agent by the date which is 45 days following a retiring Agent's
notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless
thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of
Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor
Agent as provided for above.

                                       44

<PAGE>

     15.10 LENDER IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Any Lender and its respective
Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept
deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with
Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person
party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder
without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other
members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such
Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers
or their Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is
subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other
Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and
the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a
waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use
its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any
obligation to provide such information to them.

     15.11 WITHHOLDING TAXES.

          (a) All payments made by any Borrower hereunder or under any note or
other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense.
In addition, except as provided in this Section, all such payments will be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or
future Taxes, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes is
required, each Borrower shall comply with the penultimate sentence of this
Section 15.11(a). "Taxes" shall mean, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees,
assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any
jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein with respect to such payments (but excluding (i) any tax imposed by any
jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein measured by or based on the net income, capital, receipts or profits of
any Lender, (ii) franchise or similar taxes, (iii) any non-United States taxes
imposed by the jurisdictions under the laws of which the Lender or Agent, as the
case may be, is organized, conducts business or has a present or former
connection (other than by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby or by
the other Loan Documents), or any political subdivision thereof, in effect on
the Closing Date (or, in the case of (A) an Assignee, the date of the Assignment
and Acceptance, (B) a successor Lender, the date such successor Lender becomes a
Lender hereunder and (C) a successor Agent, the date of the appointment of such
Agent) applicable to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding
any United States withholding tax payable with respect to interest arising under
any Loan Document as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the
Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the date such
successor Lender becomes a Lender or the date of the appointment of such Agent),
(iv) any taxes that are attributable to such Lender's or Agent's failure to
comply with the requirements of Section 15.11(b) and (v) all liabilities,
penalties and interest with respect to any of the forgoing excluded taxes) and
all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto. If any
Taxes are so levied or imposed, each Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of
such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment
of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including
any amount paid pursuant to this Section 15.11(a) after withholding or deduction
for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for
herein; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to increase any
such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent's or such
Lender's own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction). Each Borrower will furnish to Agent as
promptly as is commercially reasonable after the date the payment of any Tax is
due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of any tax receipts provided by
the taxing authority evidencing such payment by any Borrower.

          (b) (i) Each Lender, Assignee, successor Lender, Agent or successor
Agent that is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the IRC (each, a "Foreign Lender") shall deliver to the
Administrative Borrower and Agent, on or prior to the date which is fifteen (15)
Business Days after the Closing Date (or upon accepting an assignment of an
interest herein), two duly signed, properly completed copies of either IRS Form
W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling
it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on all
payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by a Borrower or any other Loan Party
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan

                                       45

<PAGE>

Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments
to be made to such Foreign Lender by a Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or such other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Borrower and Agent that such Foreign Lender is
entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax,
including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the IRC, and in the case
of a Foreign Lender claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the IRC,
a certificate that establishes in writing to the Administrative Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a "bank" as defined in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (ii) a 10-percent shareholder within the
meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (iii) a Controlled Foreign
Corporation related to a Borrower with the meaning of Section 864(d) of the IRC.
Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) within a
commercially reasonable period submit to the Administrative Borrower and Agent
such additional duly and properly completed and signed copies of one or more of
such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be
adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as
may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to
avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Borrower and Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United
States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign
Lender by a Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any
other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form,
certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate
or evidence previously delivered by it to the Administrative Borrower and Agent
and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the
Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (B) within a
commercially reasonable period notify the Administrative Borrower and Agent of
any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction.

               (ii) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional
amount or any indemnity payment to (A) any Foreign Lender with respect to any
taxes required to be deducted or withheld solely on the basis of the
information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits
pursuant to this Section 15.11(b) or (B) any Lender if such Lender shall have
failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.11(b).

          (c) If a Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax in a
jurisdiction other than the United States, Lender agrees with and in favor of
Agent and Borrowers, to deliver to Agent any such form or forms, as may be
required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from,
or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving
its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably
requested by Agent or Administrative Borrower.

Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Administrative Borrower of any change
in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction.

          (d) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable
withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an
amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account
such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (b)
or (c) of this Section 15.11 are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold
from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other
documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

          (e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United
States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender due to a
failure on the part of the Lender (because the appropriate form was not
delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify
Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or
reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender
shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by Agent, as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and
including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent
under this Section 15.11, together with all costs and expenses (including
attorneys fees and

                                       46

<PAGE>

expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the
payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

          (f) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving
rise to the operation of Section 15.11(a) with respect to such Lender, it will,
if requested by the Administrative Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to
overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending
office for any loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the
consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms
that cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or
regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights
of any Lender pursuant to Section 15.11(a). In determining whether designating
another lending office would cause such Lender or its lending office(s) to
suffer economic disadvantage, such Lender shall disregard any economic
disadvantage that the Administrative Borrower agrees, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to such Lender, to indemnify and hold such Lender
harmless therefrom. If, after such reasonable efforts by such Lender, such
Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices so as to
avoid the consequences of such event, then the Administrative Borrower may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require
such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment, and which assignee shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent). A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling such Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

     15.12 COLLATERAL MATTERS.

          (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and
in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the
termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers
of all non-contingent Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or
disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if
Administrative Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is
permitted under Section 6.4 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and
Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),
(iii) constituting property in which none of any Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries owned any interest at the time the Agent's Lien was
granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to a
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or
is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as
provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any
Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of
all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z)
otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Administrative
Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to
release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to
this Section 15.12; provided, however, that (1) Agent shall not be required to
execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in
Agent's opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or
entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse,
representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner
discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those
expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) all
interests retained by Borrowers or any of their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue
to constitute part of the Collateral.

          (b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to
assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrowers or any of their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has
been encumbered, or that the Agent's Liens have been properly or sufficiently or
lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any
particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under
any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the
rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of
the Loan Documents, it

                                       47

<PAGE>

being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act,
omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its
sole discretion given Agent's own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as
one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise
provided herein.

     15.13 RESTRICTIONS ON ACTIONS BY LENDERS; SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

          (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express
written consent of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by
such Lender to Borrowers or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries or
any deposit accounts of Borrowers or any of their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders
further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in
writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the
commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or
otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

          (b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment,
foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments
with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments
received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or
(ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender's ratable portion of all such
distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to
Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the
same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account
of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse
or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to
the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably
as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided,
however, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing
party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall
be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of
the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but
without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to
pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

     15.14 AGENCY FOR PERFECTION. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its
agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of
perfecting the Agent's Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or
Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected only by possession or
control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral,
such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent's request
therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in
accordance with Agent's instructions.

     15.15 PAYMENTS BY AGENT TO THE LENDERS. All payments to be made by Agent to
the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds
pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for
itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent
shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents
principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.

     15.16 CONCERNING THE COLLATERAL AND RELATED LOAN DOCUMENTS. Each member of
the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action
taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set
forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

<PAGE>

     15.17 FIELD AUDITS AND EXAMINATION REPORTS; CONFIDENTIALITY; DISCLAIMERS BY
LENDERS; OTHER REPORTS AND INFORMATION. By becoming a party to this Agreement,
each Lender:

          (a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender,
promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination
report (each a "Report" and collectively, "Reports") prepared by or at the
request of Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

          (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither the Borrowers nor
the Agent (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any
Report, and (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report,

          (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any
audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrowers
and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon
the books and records of Borrowers and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries,
as well as on representations of Borrowers' and their respective Restricted
Subsidiaries' personnel,

          (d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public
information regarding Borrowers and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries and
their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a
confidential manner in accordance with Section 16.7, and

          (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification
provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any such
other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender
may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or
draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations
that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the
indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase
of, a loan or loans of Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify,
defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless
from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses,
and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and
any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any
third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the
indemnifying Lender.

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of
Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or
document provided by Borrowers and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to
Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Borrowers and their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such
request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the
extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to
request additional reports or information from Borrowers and their respective
Restricted Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request
Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender's notice to Agent,
whereupon Agent promptly shall request of the applicable Person the additional
reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt
thereof from the applicable Person, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same
to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Administrative Borrower a
statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement
to each Lender.

     15.18 SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS; NO LIABILITY. Notwithstanding that certain of
the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or
in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the
Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any
credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint)
obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their
Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal
amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their Commitments. Nothing
contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any
Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits,
losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely
responsible for notifying its

                                       49

<PAGE>

Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any
such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or
liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section
15.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any
other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower
or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its
obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its
behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its
behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

16.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     16.1 EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective
when executed by each Borrower, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is
provided for on the signature pages hereof.

     16.2 SECTION HEADINGS. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for
convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything
contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

     16.3 INTERPRETATION. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or
ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or Borrowers,
whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this
Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and
interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to
accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

     16.4 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Each provision of this Agreement shall be
severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of
determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

     16.5 COUNTERPARTS; ELECTRONIC EXECUTION. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts,
each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original,
and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as
effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any
party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or
other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed
counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis
mutandis.

     16.6 REVIVAL AND REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. If the incurrence or payment
of the Obligations by any Borrower or any Guarantor or the transfer to the
Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be declared to
be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors'
rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent
conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or
transfers of property (collectively, a "Voidable Transfer"), and if the Lender
Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable
Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as
to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is
required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs,
expenses, and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability
of Borrowers or such Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and
restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

     16.7 CONFIDENTIALITY. Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly
or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding
Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and
existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Agent and the

                                       50

<PAGE>

Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the
Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (a) to
attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any
member of the Lender Group for matters in connection with this Agreement, (b) to
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group, provided that any
such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information
hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 16.7, (c) as may be required by
statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (d)
as may be agreed to in advance by Parent or Administrative Borrower or its
Subsidiaries or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant
to any subpoena or other legal process, (e) as to any such information that is
or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of
prohibited disclosure by Agent or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates and
Subsidiaries), (f) in connection with any assignment, prospective assignment,
sale, prospective sale, participation or prospective participations, or pledge
or prospective pledge of any Lender's interest under this Agreement, provided
that any such assignee, prospective assignee, purchaser, prospective purchaser,
participant, prospective participant, pledgee, or prospective pledgee shall have
agreed in writing to receive such information hereunder and keep it confidential
subject to the terms of this Section, and (g) in connection with any litigation
or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or
adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such
parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this
Section 16.7 shall survive for 2 years after the payment in full of the
Obligations.

     16.8 INTEGRATION. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by
any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

     16.9 TB WOOD'S CORPORATION AS AGENT FOR BORROWERS. Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints TB Wood's Corporation as the borrowing agent and
attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the "Administrative Borrower") which
appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Agent shall
have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment
has been revoked and that another Loan Party has been appointed Administrative
Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Borrower (a) to provide Agent with all notices with respect to
Term Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and
all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (b) to take such
action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain
Term Loans and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are
reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is
understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral in a combined
fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to
Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in
the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender
Group shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each
Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of
the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful
operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance
of the integrated group. To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in
consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to
indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender
Group harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage
or injury, made against the Lender Group by any Borrower or by any third party
whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan
Account and Collateral as herein provided, (b) the Lender Group's relying on any
instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by
the Lender Group hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that
Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Agent-Related Person or
Lender-Related Person under this Section 16.9 with respect to any liability that
has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person, as the case may be.

the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to this Assignment Agreement,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Credit

            cost or penalty viewed by Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, to be

                  (iv) 8 foot pit/shaft installed in the floor of the machining
area in the western portion of the building should be sealed.

            4.14(b):

      As with most industrial companies, the Company's operations and properties
are required to comply with, and are subject to liability under federal, state,
local and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the use, storage,
handling, generation, treatment, emission, release, discharge and disposal of
certain materials, substances and wastes. The nature of the Company's operations
exposes it to the risk of claims with respect to environmental matters.

                                       21

      The Asset Purchase Agreement for the Company's 1993 acquisition of the Mt.
Pleasant Facility from Dana Corporation (Dana) included an environmental
indemnity provision. Pursuant to this provision, Dana agreed to indemnify the
Company with respect to any environmental liabilities to the extent they arose
out of environmental conditions first occurring on or before the closing date,
including the presence or release of any hazardous substances at, in or under
the Mt. Pleasant Facility and with respect to the identification of the Mt.
Pleasant Facility as a CERCLIS No Further Action site and on the Michigan list
of inactive hazardous waste sites. Until March 2006, Dana conducted limited
remediation with respect to volatile organic compounds found in soils and
groundwater. Dana filed for bankruptcy in March 2006 and notified the Company
that it would no longer perform its remediation obligations. The Company
subsequently filed a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy Court in September 2006.
The Company has been notified by the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality (MDEQ) that Dana is considered responsible for investigating and/or
remediating such environmental conditions at the property. Although the MDEQ has
not notified the Company that it is required to undertake remediation that Dana
had been performing, the Company may incur additional costs as a result of
Dana's bankruptcy and subsequent non-performance.

      The Company believes that its facilities are in substantial compliance
with current regulatory standards applicable to air emissions under the Clean
Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). At this time, the Company cannot estimate
when other new air standards will be imposed or what technologies or changes in
processes the Company may have to install or undertake to achieve compliance
with any applicable new requirements at its facilities. The Company has no
reason to believe that such expenditures are likely to be material. Similarly,
based upon the Company's experience to date, the Company believes that the
future cost of currently anticipated compliance with existing environmental laws
relating to wastewater, hazardous waste and employee and community right-to-know
should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

            4.14(c):

            None.

            4.14(d):

            None.

WARNER ELECTRIC BRAKE SAFETY POLICY

	•	 	Safety is our first priority. Safety concerns must be managed before other business
concerns can be successfully accomplished.

	•	 	Working safely is a condition of employment. All employees are required to work safely and
follow all safety rules and regulations.

	•	 	No job is so important that it cannot be done safely. Safety precautions must be taken
before and during any job.

	•	 	All injuries can be prevented. With management taking responsibility to ensure a safe
environment and all of us working safely, this is a realistic goal.

	•	 	Every employee is responsible for preventing injuries. When we all work safely, act safely,
and report any unsafe condition, we are doing our part to prevent injuries.

	•	 	Training employees to work safely is essential. For every employee to be responsible for
safety, he/she must know what safe conditions, acts, and operations are. To achieve that level
of understanding, appropriate training will be given.

	•	 	All operating exposures can be safeguarded. To ensure safe working conditions, all areas or
points that are dangerous and cannot be practically eliminated, will be safeguarded by way of
safety devices, warnings, guards, personal protective equipment or other appropriate means.

to make every reasonable effort to maintain and improve the skill, efficiency, ability, and
production of all employees, the quality of products, the methods and facilities of production, and

ARTICLE II

Recognition

6. The Company hereby recognizes the Union as the exclusive bargaining agent for all its
production, maintenance, and service employees, excluding Sales Persons, Service Manager, Assistant
Service Manager, Service School Instructors, office and plant clerical employees, technical
employees, timekeepers, Industrial Engineering Department employees, security personnel, plant
superintendents, assistant superintendents, supervisors, assistant supervisors, and other

7. The Union hereby recognizes that the Management of the plant and the direction of the working
forces including the right to direct, plan, and control plant operations, and establish and change
production schedules, the right to hire, promote, demote, transfer, suspend or discharge employees
for proper cause, or to relieve employees because of lack of work or for other legitimate reasons,

Paragraph 9 above.

11. The Union agrees that it will make membership in the Union available to all employees covered
by this Agreement on the same terms and conditions as are generally applicable to other members of

Agreement, may be submitted to an impartial arbitrator under the grievance procedure of the
Agreement for determination only as to whether such termination conforms to the Constitution of the
United Steelworkers.

12. On receipt of a voluntary written assignment authorizing such deduction from the employee on

certificate which shall have been furnished by the Company under these provisions.

15. During the life of this Agreement, the Union agrees that there will be no strikes, stoppages,
or slowdowns; the Company agrees that there shall be no lockouts. Both parties promise and agree
that they shall, in an endeavor to prevent such events from taking place, charge their

ARTICLE IV

Overtime and Allowed Time

21. This Article provides the basis for the calculation of, and payment for, overtime and shall

The payroll week shall consist of seven (7) consecutive days commencing at 12:01 a.m. Monday for
the purpose of computing the pay of employees.

22. Time and one-half shall be paid for hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a payroll

time paid.

23. Double time shall be paid for all hours worked on Sunday.

24. In all instances of premium pay for work on a day as such, the employee’s entire shift shall be

commence, except if the employee’s first regular shift of the work week begins between 10:00 p.m.
and 12:00 midnight on Sunday, during such week, each shift shall be considered as having been
worked on the day their shift is scheduled to end.

25. Work performed by employees on their floating holiday, or on a Holiday, will be on a voluntary
basis, and will be paid at double time plus holiday pay. The scheduling of floating holidays
during the Christmas period will be at the employee’s discretion.

26. Holidays

One (floating) holiday to be scheduled in accordance with current vacation scheduling process and
paid as 8 hr. of classification rate as holiday pay for employees hired on or before May 17, 2006.

27. The regular earned hourly rate shall be the average straight time hourly earnings for the day
on which the overtime was worked. The “average straight time hourly earnings” shall be the
employee’s total straight time hourly earnings for the day, divided by the actual hours worked for
the day (including any hours paid for under a guarantee of hours). Overtime rates as outlined above
shall be paid the employees for such hours worked in the following manner:

(A) Time and one-half shall be one and one-half times the regular earned hourly rate of
the employee.

(B) Double time shall be twice the regular earned hourly rate of the employee.

28. The overtime and/or the premium payments provided for in this Article shall not be duplicated
for the same hours worked and to the extent that hours are compensated for at overtime or premium
rates under one provision, they shall not be counted as hours worked in determining overtime or
premium pay under the same or any other provisions.

29. When two or more rules are applicable, the one more favorable to the employee will apply, but
nothing contained herein shall be construed to require or permit the pyramiding of premium and/or
overtime rates.

30. Both parties agree that overtime shall be worked when necessary to permit the proper operation
of the Company. Overtime will be distributed among employees in the overtime distribution groups
identified in Appendix D, which groups may be changed from time to time in recognition of new or
revised job classification and new or revised cost centers, subject to the grievance procedure.

31. Holidays defined in Par. 26 of this Article will be paid for at the employee’s classification
rate and the Cost-of-Living adjustment if not worked.

32. During the term of this Agreement the days (defined above) will be paid holidays. To qualify
for holiday pay, an employee must have completed the first thirty (30) calendar days of their
probationary period and must have worked their assigned shift on their last scheduled workday
before the holiday (which may not be mandated to exceed 8 hours) and their assigned shift on their
first scheduled workday following the holiday. In cases of holidays which are observed on Friday or
Monday, neither the adjoining Saturday nor the adjoining Sunday shall be considered as a “scheduled
work day before” nor a “scheduled work day after” the holiday for purposes of qualifying for
holiday pay, and work on such Saturday or Sunday shall be voluntary except that concerted refusal
of such overtime work and failure to work by an employee who had agreed to work shall be
disciplinable offenses. If an employee desires to be absent from work the scheduled work day before
or after a holiday, they must give reasonable notice prior to the holiday; provided, however, if
they are absent from work the scheduled work day before or after a holiday due to circumstances
beyond their control, they will not be disqualified from receiving unworked holiday pay. Otherwise
eligible employees on disability leaves of absence are eligible for holiday pay up to and including
one consecutive year of such leave(s) provided, however, that otherwise eligible employees hired on
or after January 28, 1984 on disability leaves of absence shall be eligible for holiday pay up to
and including thirty (30) consecutive days following the commencement of such leave(s).

33. The classification rate shall be that of the payroll week in which the holiday falls. If an
employee is absent and does not have wages earned during the holiday week, then the classification
rate to be used shall be that of the last payroll week the employee worked prior to the holiday
week.

34. Employees who report for regular work, (unless notified not to do so, including announcements
by local news media) or who are called back to work after punching out and leaving the plant, shall
be given either a minimum of four (4) hours’ work or pay at the applicable contract rate (with
applicable premiums, if any) for the current payroll period, (provided, that if the employee
refuses an assignment of work which they are qualified to do, they shall receive no
pay). The provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply in cases of strikes, work stoppages, in
connection with labor disputes, failure of utilities beyond the control of the Company, or any acts
of God which interfere with work being provided or an outside cause which prevents access, egress
or occupancy to the extent that work cannot be provided to the employees.

 

10

 

35. Employees actively at work, defined as person who is on the active payroll, will be granted
three (3) work days off with pay at their classification rate to attend or make arrangements for
the funeral of their spouse, mother, father, sister, brother (including half-brothers and
half-sisters), son, daughter, grandchild, mother-in-law, father-in-law, or other than a
blood-related parent if it can be demonstrated without a reasonable doubt that the employee’s
parent is other than the blood-related mother or father. Such employee will receive bereavement pay
entitlement for only one mother and one father. Employees actively at work will be granted three
(3) days off with pay at their classification rate to attend or make arrangements for the funeral
of their brother-in-law or sister-in-law (defined as the brother(s) and/or sister(s) of the
employee’s spouse, and the spouse(s) of the employee’s brother(s) and/or sister(s). The in-law
relationship ceases to exist when the marriage, which created the relationship, is terminated by
divorce, annulment, legal separation or death followed by remarriage. Employees actively at work
will be granted one (1) day off with pay at their classification rate to attend or make
arrangements for the funeral of the employee and spouse’s grandmother or grandfather. An employee
who has not previously been granted work days off with pay for the funeral of his mother or father
may notify the Company that he elects, instead, such pay rights for the funerals of his maternal
grandparents or his paternal grandparents. In the event of such election, the funeral pay rights
otherwise applicable to the designated grandparents shall apply to the employee’s parents. Should
the death occur during any of the employee’s scheduled weeks or days of vacation, the vacation thus
interrupted will be extended by the period of authorized bereavement. Should the death occur during
any of the employee’s vacation, or a paid holiday, the vacation or holiday thus interrupted will be
extended by the period of authorized bereavement effected.

ARTICLE V

Vacations

36. An employee who has been on the payroll of the Company as of the anniversary date of their
employment, and prior to May 17, 2006 shall retain their current earned vacation entitlement.

increments, subject to the scheduling rules of Paragraph 38.

Employees on the active payroll of the Company on their 30th year of service anniversary
date shall receive a $100.00 award and on each such anniversary date thereafter while on the active
payroll.

The Company will issue vacation checks under the following guidelines. Full week(s) vacation checks
will be issued on the pay period preceding the start of vacation. Pay for individual vacation days
taken will be included in the employee’s regular check for the week it was taken. If an employee
takes vacation for all the days in a week when a holiday(s) occurs, except the holiday(s)
themselves, the vacation days will be paid in advance as if it were a full week and the holiday(s)
will be paid in the week after their occurrence.

37. Vacation pay shall be paid for all employees, beginning January 1, 2007, at their base hourly
rate. Base hourly rate to include shift differential.

38. (A) During any calendar year employees shall be permitted to select the time for vacation
subject to (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) below so far as practicable, provided the employee gives
written notice to the Human Resources Department of their preference before April 1, and provided
that the Company may schedule in a manner which takes into consideration the operating and
maintenance needs of the plant. Conflicts in requests shall be resolved on the basis of seniority.
When taking single days of vacation, you must notify your supervisor before the end of your prior
shift. Failure to do so will result in an absence. When taking half (1/2) days vacation you must
notify your supervisor before the end of your prior shift. Failure to do so will result in an
absence.

(B) The Company may schedule a vacation shutdown of 1 week’s duration. In years that the Company

(C) When a vacation shutdown is scheduled; shutdown work requirements will be announced at the time
the shutdown is announced. Shutdown work requirements will be filled voluntarily from the top of
the seniority list in each classification required, and if volunteerism does not meet the need, the
balance of the requirements will be met by assignment from the bottom of the seniority list up.
Shutdown work requirements that arise subsequent to March 15 will be filled by volunteers from the
top of the seniority list. Any employees asked to work will be charged in accordance with Appendix
C. Employees not asked to work during the shutdown period will not be charged for any overtime. If
an out of overtime spread condition occurs because of the overtime worked during the shutdown
period, the Company shall have 30 days to bring the effected employees back into the 30 hour
overtime spread.

 

12

 

(D) Employees who are entitled to vacation and who work during vacation shutdown will be permitted
to request their vacation so far as practicable, and in consideration of the operating and
maintenance needs of the Company, at any other time of the year. In instances where employee
vacation requests conflict with the Company’s needs, vacations will be scheduled on the basis of
seniority.

(E) In order to qualify for the vacation defined in Par. 36, an employee must have worked not less
than seventy (70) percent of the regular days of work available to them during the twelve (12)
months immediately preceding January 1 of any calendar year, except in the case of any employee who
completes one (1) year of service in the calendar year, it shall be twelve (12) months immediately
preceding their anniversary date. It is understood and agreed for this purpose that the absence
from work because of Company layoffs due to lack of work (not to exceed ten [10] work weeks),
occupational accidents, certified illness, holidays, vacation and union business shall be
considered as time worked for the purpose of computing eligibility for vacation privileges.

(F) An employee may take pay in lieu for any earned vacation, not to exceed five (5) days in any
year. Such scheduling should be handled with the normal April 1 vacation scheduling procedure.
Changes after the vacation schedule is established must be consistent with production needs. Pay
in lieu will normally be included in the vacation check at the time the vacation is taken. This
shall not change the practice of paying for unused vacation at the end of each calendar year. The
Union will be informed of all pay in lieu arrangements. No employee shall be discriminated against
based upon his exercise or nonexercise of this understanding.

39. In the event of the death of an employee eligible for vacation pay at the time of their death,
such vacation due the employee shall be paid to their surviving spouse or other legal heir.

40. If any employee is laid off for a period equal to or longer than their vacation, the employee
may designate the equivalent portion of such layoff period as their vacation with pay.

41. Vacation periods may not be postponed from one year to another and made accumulative, and will
be forfeited unless completed within each calendar year, but in any event the employee will receive
their vacation pay.

42. An employee entering military service who is eligible for vacation in the year in which they
enter and who has not received such vacation shall receive the vacation pay to which they are
entitled under this Article.

43 Any employee returning from military service who is eligible for vacation in the year in which
they return shall receive a vacation subject to the provisions of this Article, except Par. 38
above, provided it is not in the same year in which they enter. Their vacation pay will be paid in
accordance with Paragraph 37.

44. In the event an employee has their vacation scheduled immediately upon beginning work and
therefore does not have any hours worked, their vacation pay is computed by multiplying their rate
for the job classification to which they are assigned by their vacation hours.

 

13

 

45. Vacation Pay for Layoffs.
During any calendar year, if an employee is on layoff through no fault of their own and solely as a
result of such layoff they have not fulfilled the requirements of Par. 38 (A) of this Article, and
such an employee has had earnings in the preceding calendar year, they shall be entitled to receive
vacation pay in accordance with Paragraph 37 as provided in Par. 36 of this Article.
Employees who are laid off may elect to receive their vacation pay at the time of layoff under
Paragraph 40 and, in accordance with Paragraph 40, a corresponding portion of the layoff will be
considered as the employee’s vacation time off at the time of layoff. If the employee does not
elect his vacation pay and time off at the time of layoff and is recalled in the same calendar
year, they will receive their vacation pay in accordance with Paragraph 46. If the employee does
not elect their vacation pay at the time of layoff and is not recalled during the calendar year,
they will be paid any vacation pay owing at the end of the calendar year.

46. In the event an employee has been on layoff and is recalled to work during any calendar year,
and such an employee has had earnings in the preceding calendar year, but solely because of such

time off will be granted (if requested) consistent with Paragraph 38 of this Article.

47. Any employee who retires will receive whatever vacation with pay they have accrued and not
taken, plus pro-rated vacation time and pay they have accrued towards his/her next years vacation.

ARTICLE VI

Seniority

48. General. The Company and the Union recognize that promotional opportunity and job security in
the event of promotions, decreases of forces, and rehirings after layoffs should increase in
proportion to length of continuous service, and that in the administration of this Article, full
consideration shall be given continuous service in such cases. “Continuous service”
as referred to herein, means a period of employment not interrupted by a break sufficient to
terminate the employee’s seniority.

49. Rule for Applying Seniority. In all cases of promotion or increase or decrease in forces
except when a different rule is stated, the following factors shall be considered; however, only
where factors (B) and (C) are relatively equal shall length of continuous service govern:

	 	(A)	 	Length of continuous service;
	 
	 	(B)	 	Ability to perform the work;
	 
	 	(C)	 	Physical fitness.

50. Seniority Defined. Length of continuous service as outlined in this Article is defined herein
as years, months, and days of service with the Company since the last date of hire. In cases where
two or more employees commence work on the same date, the following method will determine the most
senior employee:

Shift 3 = Most Senior

Shift 1 = Senior to employee who started on Shift 2

Shift 2 = Least Senior

 

14

 

In the case of two or more employees starting on the same shift and same date, at the orientation,
between the Union, employees, and the Company, the employees will draw a card from a deck of cards
and the high card will determine the most senior employee, which determination shall be final and
govern all future issues of relative seniority during their employment with the Company.
All affected employees who have not established permanent seniority shall do so as outlined by the
card drawing provisions of this Article. When seniority is established the Company will provide to
the Union a listing of the employees affected and a copy to the employee.

51. Transfer of Seniority. Employees transferred from one classification to another
classification, by job bid or promotion shall transfer their seniority to the new classification
after twenty (20) working days on the job to which they had bid or transferred, provided it is the
last classification to which they have bid or have been promoted. An employee thus transferred
shall serve a trial period of not less than one working day and not more than twenty (20) working
days, which period may be extended by mutual agreement. In cases covered by the above employees
will be allowed to wash themselves out during the trial period (on the job to which they had bid or
been promoted) by giving notice to the Company not later than the twentieth (20th) day,
provided they had not previously held the classification in the previous two (2) years.

52. Employees who wash themselves out as above specified or who are washed out by the Company shall
be entitled to return to their former job classification with full seniority. If there have been
other personnel moves which have resulted from their bid or promotion, the employees involved will
be returned to their former job classifications (to the extent that this is necessary in order to
accommodate the washout) with full seniority, and the Company will be entitled to postpone the
reverse moves caused by the washout until all resulting personnel moves may be accomplished without
the necessity of paying premium pay.

53. Employees who are transferred in lieu of layoff will immediately transfer their seniority to
the new classification.

54. Decrease in Forces. When a reduction in force is necessary, forces shall be reduced in the
following manner: (Subject to the exceptions in Article XI, Par. 113).

55. The Company will allow in certain situations for a voluntary layoff to occur. If this happens,
the following guidelines will apply on a seniority basis:

	 	a)	 	The voluntary layoff period will be for a maximum of four (4) weeks. This
time period may be extended when the Company, Union and an employee mutually agree.
	 
	 	b)	 	The voluntary layoff option will be made available to those Employees in
the classification whose work assignments are being immediately affected by the
reduction. No employee on voluntary layoff will be allowed to exercise their
seniority in any classification.
	 
	 	c)	 	When it is determined that a recall is needed, the person who went out on
involuntary layoff would be recalled prior to a person who volunteered.
	 
	 	d)	 	If it is determined that production needs change and all other options have
been exhausted, the Company would have the option to recall a person on voluntary
layoff.
	 
	 	e)	 	Upon return from voluntary layoff the employee will return to his/her
previous classification and shift.
	 
	 	f)	 	During a voluntary layoff, a person would retain their Insurance consistent
with the Insurance Agreement in the contract.
	 
	 	g)	 	In the event there are insufficient volunteers for a required layoff, the
procedures prescribed in this Article concerning decreases in forces will apply.

 

15

 

56. (1) Probationary employees will be the first to be displaced from the classification(s) to be
reduced; (2) Next, employees who have not acquired seniority in the classification as provided in
Par. 51 shall be displaced from the classification(s) to be reduced and shall be returned to the
classification in which they still hold seniority. (Employees who have been transferred into the
classification pursuant to Par. 57 shall be excepted from this group and shall be considered on the
basis of their total seniority as part of the group considered in sub-paragraph (3) hereof). (3)
Next, employees will be displaced from such classification(s) on the basis of their seniority in
the classification, on the basis of the factors in Par. 49.

57. Employees who are displaced from their regular classification shall be offered a job
opportunity in a vacant job or in a job held by an employee with less seniority, as follows:

(1) To a job classification for which the employee is fully qualified by previous
classification and satisfactory performance in the job classification for the Company, or

(2) To a job classification for which the employee qualifies under the factors set forth in
Par. 49, without any training period.

58. Employees displaced in the above process shall be considered on the same basis as specified in
Par. 56 hereof for reduction of forces in a classification. Such employees who are displaced in
this process shall be given a similar opportunity. Employees who are displaced under the above
procedure and who do not have sufficient seniority and qualification to secure another job under
the above procedure shall be laid off from the Company.

59. In the event of partial or complete shutdown of manufacturing operations during straight-time
hours for the purpose of taking inventory, seniority by shift shall apply only among employees in
the same job classification doing the same type of work. Employees performing such work will be
paid at their classification rate. During overtime hours for the purpose of taking inventory, the
Appendix “C” Overtime Distribution Agreement shall apply.

60. Employees who have completed their probationary period and who are scheduled for a layoff for a
period exceeding three (3) working days, shall be notified at least three (3) working days prior to
such layoff. The Union shall be notified as soon as practicable after the Company makes the
determination to lay off employees. In the event an employee is temporarily laid off for a period
of not more than three (3) working days, due to lack of work or other legitimate causes, the
employee with the least continuous service in the classification affected shall be laid off.

61. Employees may elect layoff instead of exercising their seniority or shift rights to displace a
less senior employee in a different classification. (The Company will provide the employee and
Union with a list of the different classifications that have less senior employees.) Employees
electing layoff under this Paragraph will only be eligible for recall to their regular assigned
classification or to such other classifications as they designate in writing to Human Resources at
the time of layoff. Such employees shall be notified by certified mail that their rights are due to
expire. Such notice will state that they must accept the next recall for which they are eligible or
terminate their seniority and all employment rights. In no event shall the employee’s seniority be
extended for a period greater than that specified in Par.63 (E). The president of the local union
shall appoint two (2) committee members to be present in the Layoff & Recall meeting prior to
notice being given to employees of such Layoff or Recall. Only one (1) of the appointed members
may be present at the meeting with the employees.

 

16

 

62. Recall to occur as follows:

	 	I.	 	When increasing the workforce in an area without adding to the overall plant
headcount, both shift preference and recalls, direct and indirect, will be honored
based on seniority. If the position is not filled through this process, then the
position will be posted.
	 
	 	II.	 	Opening occurs in classification that has employees on layoff and most senior
person on layoff is from the classification that is being recalled.
	 
	 		 	A. The person with the most seniority with the Company shall be recalled by
telephone or certified mail.
	 
	 		 	B. The person recalled is expected to advise the Company of their availability for

have forty-eight (48) hours after sending certified mail to notify the Company of
their availability for work and must report for work not later than the beginning
of their shift on the third working day following the day the notice to report was
sent.
	 
	 		 	(1) In the event the employee does not accept recall or fails to report for work,
their seniority and all employment rights will be terminated.
	 
	 	III.	 	Opening occurs in classification that has employees on layoff. However, there
are more senior employees on layoff from other classifications.
	 
	 		 	A. The Company shall recall the most senior person, regardless of their
classification, who is fully qualified to perform the work of that classification
by:

(1) Previous classification and satisfactory performance in the job
classification for the Company, or

(2) Under the factors set forth in Paragraph 49, Article VI of the Basic
Agreement, without any training period.

	 		 	B. The person recalled is expected to advise the Company of their availability
for recall upon contact by telephone, or if unable to be contacted by telephone,
shall have forty-eight (48) hours after sending certified mail to notify the
Company of their availability for work and must report for work not later than the
beginning of their shift on the third working day following the day the notice to
report was sent.
	 
	 	 	 	In the event the employee does not accept recall or fails to report for work, their
seniority and all employment rights will be terminated.
	 
	 	IV.	 	Opening occurs in classification that has no employees on layoff. However,
there are employees on layoff from other classifications.
	 
	 		 	A. That job shall be posted in accordance with Article VI, Par. 70 of the Basic
Agreement.
	 
	 		 	B. After job posting and selection procedures have occurred, persons on layoff
will be recalled to the job vacancy that would then exist in accordance with Part I
and Part II, if applicable. If Part I and Part II are not applicable, persons will
be recalled in accordance with length of continuous service, physical fitness and
ability to perform the work, without any training period.

 

17

 

	 	 	 	C. The person recalled is expected to advise the Company of their availability for
recall upon contact by telephone, or if unable to be contacted by telephone, shall
have forty-eight (48) hours after sending certified mail to notify the Company of
their availability for work and must report for work not later than the beginning
of their shift on the third working day following the day the notice to report was
sent.

	 	 	 	In the event the employee does not accept recall or fails to report for work, their
seniority and all employment rights will be terminated.
	 
	 	 	 	NOTE: Employee’s recalled from layoff that are unable to return to work due to
medical reasons shall be placed on medical leave of absence provided the employee
accepts the recall.

63. Loss of Seniority. Continuous service as outlined in this Article shall be broken and
employees shall not be considered as having any length of continuous service or any employment
relationship whatsoever with the Company:

(A) If they shall quit;

(B) If they shall have been discharged for proper cause;

(C) If they fail to report for work, or make satisfactory explanation of such failure within
forty-eight (48) hours after notification has been sent to report for work by certified mail, one
copy of such notification being tendered to the Union Committee. Such notice shall not be sent
unless such employee has been absent and has failed to notify the Company by the middle of the
employee’s shift on the second consecutive working day of the reason for such absence, or;

(D) If they fail to report on schedule following a vacation or an authorized leave of absence
without giving a reasonable excuse (employees who present an excuse for such absence will be
permitted to work after the presentation of the excuse until such time as the Company decides
whether to honor the excuse as an exception to the rule) or;

(E) If they shall have been absent from the service of the Company for any reason (except for a
leave of absence for military service) for a period of two (2) years, where such employee has been
continuously employed for over ninety (90) calendar days and not over two (2) years shall be
considered as having lost their seniority and employment relationship if they have been absent from
the service of the Company for a period equal to their length of service with the Company. Absence
due to a compensable disability incurred during the course of employment shall not break continuous
service provided such individual is returned to work within thirty (30) days after final payment of
statutory compensation for such disability, or after the end of the period used in calculating a
lump sum payment.

64. Probationary Period. A new employee, and others re-employed following a break in continuous
service, as outlined in Par. 63 above, will acquire seniority after they have completed ninety (90)
calendar days of employment, exclusive of any periods of absence due to medical reasons of five or
more consecutive days, from the date of their employment or re-employment with the Company. Such
employees shall be considered probationary employees until they have acquired seniority. There
shall be no responsibility for the re-employment of probationary
employees if they are laid off or discharged during this period. Probationary employees may file
and process grievances after thirty (30) calendar days from date of employment or re-employment but
may be laid off or discharged during their probationary period as exclusively determined by
Management.

 

18

 

65. Information to the Union. Every three months the Company shall furnish the Union with copies of
a seniority list and post copies on the bulletin boards of the Company. Once each month between the
quarterly lists, the Company will furnish the Union one copy of an updated seniority listing. The
company will also continue to provide the union with an updated list of shift preferences and
recalls periodically.

(A) No more than once per month, at the request of the union, the Company will provide a list of
hires, terminations, promotions, transfers and seniority of bargaining unit employees during the
preceding calendar month.

(B) The Company will continue to provide the Union with copies of written leave of absence forms,
written disciplines, names of employees who are to be laid off or who have been recalled (including
the date of notice and the name of the job classification involved), “employee record change
requests” and notices that appear on Company bulletin boards that pertain to the bargaining unit.
The Company will transmit this information within two (2) weeks after the action is taken or, in
the case of leave of absence, within one (1) week after the form is completed. Inadvertent failure
to transmit the information or failure of the Union to receive it shall not invalidate the action
involved, since the purpose of this provision is only to keep the Union informed. Errors shall be
corrected when discovered.

66. Shift/Job Transfers. Employees who have completed their probationary period who desire to
change shifts or jobs shall indicate their preference on a form provided by the Company. When a
vacancy occurs in a classification, an employee performing the same type of work in the
classification, with a written preference form on file, shall be given preference based on their
seniority for transfer where the vacancy exits, subject to the following conditions. To accept a
shift preference the employee must be able to fill the position within seven (7) calendar days from
the shift or job award, unless the employee is on an approved vacation.

(A) In the event it is not possible to transfer the employee in accordance with their preference
due to there not being an adequately qualified crew on the shift from which the transfer is to be
made, the transfer will be made as quickly as possible.

(B) The Company shall have the right to train new employees to the classification on the day shift
for a period of not to exceed thirty (30) working days (except that such period may be extended by
agreement of the parties), and any transfers shall not take place until this training is completed.

(C) In the event an employee is promoted in a classification, the employee thus promoted will
remain on the same shift and area unless there is a more senior employee in the classification
where the promotion occurs with a preference form on file. If this should occur the two employees
will exchange places.

 

19

 

(D) In the event the Company decides to decrease the number of employees in a classification on a
shift and increase the number of employees in the same classification on another shift within the
same area, the Company will utilize this Paragraph to achieve the necessary results. If
openings exist after all preferences have been utilized, the least senior employees (being
decreased) will be transferred and shall exercise their seniority rights regardless of shift or
area. All employees (direct or indirect) may utilize their seniority to bump a less senior
employee, and shall not be required to remain within their classification.

67. Employees granted a preference change under this Paragraph to their first choice shall not be
entitled to a preference change for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days. Employees granted
their second choice will continue to have their first choice on file unless changed by Paragraph
68.

68. Employees may withdraw or change their written preference at any time. However, the preference
form on file before Wednesday of any work week shall govern any changes to be effective in the
following work week and thereafter unless changed by subsequent preference form. In the event of a
reduction or recall from layoff in the work force in any department or shift, the Company will
notify the Union of these reductions or recalls at which time the preferences shall be frozen
effective midnight the day immediately preceding such notice. They shall remain frozen until the
displacements resulting from such reductions or recalls are complete.

69. Temporary Transfer. Vacancies of 45 days or less in a classification shall be considered as
temporary. The Company may fill such temporary vacancies as follows. Employees farmed into a
classification on any one shift will be considered one occurrence. The Company shall not exceed 45
occurrences in any individual classification in a 120 day period. Job vacancies in excess of 45
days may also be considered temporary such as the case where the vacancy is due to an employee
being on leave of absence due to occupational accidents and certified illness.

70. Job Posting. When a vacancy occurs or is expected to occur, (other than a temporary vacancy),
which has not been filled either by promotion, preference form or recall from layoff, the Company
shall, to the greatest degree practicable, post the job vacancy on bulletin boards
throughout the Company for a period of two (2) working days. Such posting will include the job
title, the location of the job, the pay rate, the shift, and the job description.

71. Non-probationary employees desiring such job shall apply for the job on a form prescribed by
the Company. The employee selected by the Company (such selection governed by Par. 49 of this
Article) shall be given a trial period of not less than one working day and not more than twenty
(20) working days, which period may be extended by mutual agreement. If it is determined by the
Company that they are not satisfactorily performing the job, or if employees wash themselves out
pursuant to the terms of Article VI, Par. 51, they shall be returned to their former classification
and the Company shall continue to make selections by seniority from the bidders and again provide a
trial period under the same procedure. If the next employee is washed out by the Company or washes
out pursuant to the terms of Article VI, Par.51, the Company after exhausting all bidders may
recruit from any available source. Upon bidding the job and being selected, the employee will not
be entitled to bid on another permanent job opening for a period of six (6) months, except in the
event the employee is not on the job they obtained through bidding due to a decrease in forces as
set forth in Par. 54.

72. An employee may withdraw a bid within one (1) working day after bids have been closed by giving
written notice to Human Resources or their supervisor. An employee withdrawing a bid in a timely
manner and/or an employee who is washed out by the Company during the trial period shall not be
subject to a bidding bar.

 

20

 

73. An eligible bidder shall be placed on their job within ten (10) working days after their
selection. Such ten (10) day period may be extended by mutual agreement between the Company and
Union.

74. A list of successful bidders shall be posted following the week in which the selections are
made. If posted jobs are not filled, and if the vacancy still exists, the Company shall re-post the
position within thirty (30) days.

75. An employee promoted from the bargaining unit may be returned but once by the Company to the
bargaining unit, provided such option is exercised by the Company not later than six months after
such promotion. Upon their return, the employee will be credited with the amount of accumulated
seniority they had as of the date of their promotion from the bargaining unit, and shall
immediately resume the accumulation of seniority.

ARTICLE VII

Military Service

76. The Company shall accord to each employee who applies for re-employment after conclusion of
military service with the United States such re-employment rights as they shall be entitled to
under then existing statutes. If the position of such employee has been eliminated, the Company
will use every reasonable effort to provide for the employee employment for which they can
satisfactorily qualify.

ARTICLE VIII

Leave of Absence

77. The Company, in cases where production requirements permit or unusual circumstances warrant,
may grant, at its discretion, a leave of absence upon written request made in the form prescribed
by the Company and upon good cause being shown for such leave for a definite period of not more
than eight (8) weeks. Additional leave may be granted in writing upon written request where deemed
justified, but in any event, no succession of leaves shall extend beyond one (1) year; provided
that in exceptional cases of extended absence because of illness or accident a longer leave of
absence may be granted at the Company’s discretion.

78. Up to five (5) employees at any one time (unless otherwise mutually agreed), as designated by
the Union, may request leave from the Company for up to 14 calendar days to serve as a delegate to
a union convention or for other official union business or training. Whenever possible, the Company
will be provided at least thirty days advance notice of any such leave. Notice given less than 30
days in advance of a leave will not be unreasonably denied. There shall be no deduction from
“continuous service” (under this Agreement or the Pension Agreement) for leaves granted under this
Paragraph.

79. Any employee (not exceeding three in number at any one time) selected by the Union to act as a
full-time official representative will be given a leave of absence by the Company for the duration
of such office. There shall be no deduction from “continuous service” (under this Agreement or the
Pension Agreement) for the first twelve (12) months (accumulative) of leave(s) of absence granted
under this Paragraph. After the first twelve (12) months of leave(s) of absence under this
Paragraph, “continuous service” will be frozen for the duration of such leave(s).

80. Pregnancy shall be treated the same as any other total or temporary disability and leave of
absence under the terms of this agreement.

 

21

 

81. In the event an employee on leave of absence accepts substitute gainful employment or
self-employment without the prior consent of the Company, their leave shall automatically be
considered cancelled and employment terminated without recourse, except in the following cases:

(A) As an official representative of the Union, or

(B) In some section of the United States (other than Winnebago County, Illinois, or Rock
County, Wisconsin), where such employee is residing temporarily because the illness of a
member of their immediate family.

82. An employee who is called for jury service shall be excused from work for the days on which
they serve and they shall receive, for each day of such service on which they otherwise would have
worked, the difference between eight (8) times their classification rate (plus shift premium if
applicable) and the payment they receive for jury service. The employee will present proof of such
service and the amount of pay received therefore. An employee who is subpoenaed for court
appearance and is not the plaintiff or defendant shall be excused from work for the court
appearance and shall be paid for each day lost for which they otherwise would have worked in the
same manner as provided for jury service, above. The employee will present proof of such appearance
and the amount of any pay received therefore.

ARTICLE IX

Adjustment of Grievances

83. It is agreed that the Union will establish a Shop Committee from employees in the bargaining
unit to meet with representatives of the Management for the purpose of presenting and
participating in the adjustment of grievances, and, when established, shall furnish the Company
with the names of the Committee members.

84. Such committee shall consist of three (3) members from the day shift and one (1) member each
from the second and third shifts, provided there are at least ten (10) or more employees for each
committee member on the second and third shifts. An additional committee member will be added at
such time, and for as long as, the bargaining unit exceeds 200 employees. Thereafter, an additional
committee member will be designated for every 100 employees added to the bargaining unit.

85. The Company shall recognize alternates appointed to fill a vacancy caused by the vacation or
leave of absence of a committee member, and such alternate shall be allowed to attend regular
monthly union meetings if they so request.

86. At such time as the entire committee is absent from the plant due to Labor Contract
negotiations, two (2) alternate committee members per shift affected may be appointed by the Union
and shall be recognized by the Company.

87. Should any difference or dispute arise between the Company and its employee(s) concerning
the meaning and application of the provisions of this Agreement, (or should the Union contend that
the Company has violated its obligations under the Agreement to the Union, as such) an earnest
effort shall be made to settle the difference orally. This oral effort shall be made by the
aggrieved employee (or in the case of a breach of obligation to the Union, as such, by a
committee member) and/or not to exceed two committee members at the option of the employee. If the
matter is not resolved orally, it shall be taken up in the following manner:

 

22

 

88. FIRST: In writing to the supervisor involved. A meeting shall be held within one (1) working
day after receipt of the written grievance. The Company will normally be represented at this
meeting by the supervisors involved, provided that the Company may designate alternate or
additional First Step Representatives in appropriate cases. The Union will be represented by the
grievant and up to two (2) shop committee members. The written grievance shall be answered by one
of the Company First Step Representative within two (2) working days after the first step meeting.
If the answer is not satisfactory the grievance shall be appealed to the next step by the Union
within four (4) working days of the written answer.

89. SECOND: Second step meetings will be held within (7) calendar days of the Union’s request
unless otherwise mutually agreed. The Company shall make its written answer within seven (7)
working days after the meeting at which the grievance is discussed. If the answer is not
satisfactory, the grievance shall be appealed to the next step by the Union within ten (10) working
days of the written answer.

90. THIRD: Between an International Representative of the Union, the Local Union President and/or
the two Chairpersons of the Shop Committee and the Managers of the Company and/or other Company
Representatives at a regular or special meeting. One or more witnesses may be called into the
meeting by agreement of the parties. The Company shall make its written answer within ten (10)
working days after the third step meeting in which the grievance is discussed.

91. FOURTH: If the Union is not satisfied with the third step answer of the Company, it may,
within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the answer give notice of its intention to refer
the grievance to arbitration. (If the Company fails to give an answer within the time limit
prescribed at Step Three, the Union may elect to treat the grievance as having been denied and may
give notice of its intent to refer the matter to arbitration.) After such notice is given, the
Company and the Union will attempt to agree upon an impartial arbitrator. If no agreement is
reached within thirty (30) calendar days thereafter the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service
(FMCS) will thereafter be asked to submit a panel of seven (7) arbitrators to the parties. The
parties shall, upon receipt of said panel, strike names alternately until one (1) name remains on
the panel; this remaining person shall serve as the impartial arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have
jurisdiction and authority only to interpret, apply, or determine compliance with the provisions of
this agreement insofar as shall be necessary to the determination of grievances appealed to the
arbitrator. The arbitrator shall not have jurisdiction or authority to add to, detract from or
alter in any way the provisions of this Agreement.

92. Each party shall assume its own expenses in connection with arbitration, and the fee of the
arbitrator shall be paid by the two (2) parties, one-half (1/2) by each.

93. Grievances reduced to writing shall be dated and signed by the aggrieved employee(s) or their
Shop Committee Member, except that grievances relating to more than two (2) employees shall be
signed by at least two (2) aggrieved employees and the Shop Committee Member for the area(s)
involved. All answers by the Company and all appeals by the Union shall be in writing, dated and
signed by the Company or Union representative involved.

94. In the event an employee dies, the Union may process on behalf of their legal heirs any claim
they would have had relating to any monies due under the provisions of this Agreement.

 

23

 

95. Grievances settled shall be signed off by a Shop Committee Member and/or International
Representative.

96. Written grievances and appeals shall be answered by the Company Representative or their
designee within the time limit fixed therein or the Union may pass the grievance to the next step,
except that in Step 2, if the Company fails to answer within the time limits fixed therein it shall
be considered adjudicated in favor of the employee. Grievances not appealed within the specified
time limits shall not be eligible for further appeal. All time limits in this Article may be
extended with the written consent of the other party.

97. Meetings between the International Representative of the Union, the Local Union President
and/or the two Chairpersons of the Shop Committee or their alternates, and Managers of the Company
and/or other Company Representatives provided for in the third step of the grievance procedure,
shall be held at least once each month, prior to the fifteenth (15th) of the month to
consider all grievance appeals submitted during the preceding month. Special meetings will be
arranged on a date and at a time mutually satisfactory in regard to difficulties which may arise
and which need immediate attention.

98. Members of the Shop Committee will be afforded time off at their classification rate for
the purpose of attending meetings with the Company pursuant to the first three steps of the
grievance procedure. A member of the Shop Committee shall also be allowed time off when necessary
at their classification rate, to aid in the settlement of grievances in the area which they
represent. A committee member on Union activity shall obtain permission from their supervisor
(which shall not be unreasonably denied) and properly record their absence prior to leaving their
work station to conduct these activities; shall report their presence and their purpose to the
supervisor of the department in which they wish to conduct this activity; and shall report their
return to their supervisor at the conclusion of this activity. Members of the Shop Committee shall
do their utmost to see that their absence from their work station due to handling of grievances
shall be as little as practicable and shall do their utmost to see that their absence from the work
station does not interfere with production. Company paid time under this section is limited to a
weekly maximum of the sum of seven (7) hours times the number of active committee members (“the
pool”). All time used by the committee members will be deducted from the pool. Unused hours will
not be carried over from week to week.

99. All grievances must be presented promptly and not later than thirty (30) days after the cause
of the grievance arises unless the circumstances of the case made it impossible for the employee or
the Union to know that they had grounds for such claim prior to that date, in which case the
retroactivity shall not exceed thirty (30) days prior to the date the grievance was filed in
writing. Grievances involving discharge must be presented within three (3) working days of the
action (subject to Par. 103). Grievances alleging improper layoff must be presented within two (2)
working days of the Company notice to the employee of this intended layoff or there shall be no
retroactivity prior to the date of the grievance.

100. Grievances alleging improper recall must be presented within two (2) working days after notice
is given to the employee (at the address last given by them to the Human Resources
Department) that a less senior employee was recalled to a job classification to which they were
entitled, or there shall be no retroactivity prior to the date of the grievance. In cases of
retroactivity the employee will be paid at the rate of the job classification to which they were
entitled.

 

24

 

101. The Grievance Committee of the Union shall be notified and given a list of all employees
scheduled for layoff or recall prior to such layoff or recall taking place. The layoff list
proposed by the Company shall not become final until one working day after the Union has been
provided with the list.

102. The assignment of Shop Committee Members to their respective plant areas shall be a matter
of full knowledge to both the Union and the Company immediately. It is further agreed, for the
purpose of prompt settlement of grievances, that, where necessary, committee members will handle
grievances without restriction as to area.

103. Under the provisions of this Agreement, no employee, after their probationary period provided
in Par. 64 of Article VI, Seniority, shall be discharged or given a disciplinary layoff in excess
of five (5) days, without first being suspended. Such initial suspension shall be for not more than
five (5) working days. During this period of initial suspension, the employee may, if they believe
that they have been unjustly dealt with, request a hearing and a statement of the offense before
their supervisor or their superintendent or the Human Resources Department Representative, with a
Grievance Committee member or the plant committee present if they so desire. At such hearing, the
facts concerning the case shall be made available to both parties. After such hearing or if no such
hearing is requested, the management may conclude whether the suspension shall be converted into
discharge or disciplinary layoff, or dependent upon the facts of the case, whether such suspension
shall be extended, or revoked, or modified or affirmed. If the suspension is revoked, the employee
shall be returned to employment and made whole in the absence of mutual agreement to the contrary;
but in the event a disposition shall result in the affirmation, extension or modification of the
suspension, or in the discharge of the employee, the employee may within three (3) working days
after such disposition allege a grievance in writing on a regular grievance form which shall be
handled in accordance with the procedure outlined in this Article, beginning with Step Two. Should
any employee as a result of this grievance, have their discipline or discharge revoked, they shall
be returned to work and made whole. In the event of arbitration the arbitrator shall determine
what, if any, substitute earnings or compensation are to be offset.

104. Where discipline of an employee is involved or there is a dispute as to the correctness of an
employee’s record of absence/tardiness, an employee or (with the employee’s permission) their Shop
Committee Member may review their record of absence/tardiness in the presence of a supervisor.

ARTICLE X

Bulletin Boards

105. The Company agrees to provide up to two (2) glassed in bulletin boards with locks to be placed
at the South Beloit plant which may be used exclusively by the Union for posting notices signed by
the Union Secretary or the President of the Local Union and restricted to:

	 	1.	 	Notices of Union recreational and social affairs.
	 
	 	2.	 	Notices of Union appointments and results of Union elections.
	 
	 	3.	 	Notices of Union meetings.
	 
	 	4.	 	Notices of Union elections.
	 
	 	5.	 	Notices, which shall be non-controversial in nature, approved by Company
Representatives.

106. It is agreed that the Company may remove any notice which is not in accordance with the
above restrictions.

 

25

 

ARTICLE XI

Wages

107. New and/or changed jobs shall be described and classified in accordance with the National
Position Evaluation Program, which may be modified as necessary by mutual agreement. The new or
changed description and classification shall then be submitted to the job evaluation committee and,
if agreed to, shall then be established. If no agreement is reached, the Company may place the
description and classification in effect, after which a grievance may be filed at any time within
the next thirty (30) days, contending that the job has been improperly described and/or classified.

108. Job evaluation points assigned to a job classification shall be changed only when it has been
established that there have been changes in the job content or by mutual agreement.

109. The standard hourly wage schedule of rates for the respective job classes set forth in
Appendix “A” shall become effective and shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of
this Agreement. A schedule of jobs in each job class is also included in Appendix “A.” Appendix “A”
constitutes the minimum rates of pay for the applicable job classification (direct and indirect as
applicable) and are incorporated by reference and are fully made a part of this Agreement.

110. Employees hired on or after May 17, 2006 for all job classifications, shall serve a
progression period where applicable, or will enter at the starting wage rate set forth in Appendix
“A”. Progression increases may be subject to demonstration of required skills on milestone dates.
Bidding into a higher classification will result in applicable new hire rate.

111. Effective on or after August 6, 2006, employees hired prior to May 17, 2006 bumping into a
lower classification will result in applicable Incumbent rate. Bidding into a higher
classification will enter at the 6 month progression rate for new classification set forth in
Appendix “A”.

112. It is understood and agreed that nothing contained in this Article shall prevent the Company
from paying a present employee or a new employee the rate of the job classification to which they
are transferred or assigned, provided they are qualified and able to perform the work
satisfactorily.

113. When a reduction of employees occurs in a classification or in the Company, an employee who
has attained a classification above the lowest grade in an occupational group (see Appendix B)
shall not be reduced in rate as long as they are retained at work within that occupational group.
Such rate retention shall also apply in the event such an employee is recalled to the occupational
group from a job classification outside of the occupational group or from layoff out of the plant.

114. An employee wishing to be reduced in classification within an occupational group may exercise
this right but once and only in the event there is a posted opening.

115. When employees are temporarily assigned to another job classification outside their own
occupational group, they shall be paid on the basis of either the rate of their regular job
classification or the rate of the classification to which they are assigned, whichever is greater.

 

26

 

116. Indirect. When an indirect employee is temporarily assigned to another indirect job
classification outside their own occupational group, they shall be paid on the basis of either the
indirect rate of their regular job classification or the indirect rate of the classification to
which they are assigned, whichever is greater. When an indirect employee is temporarily assigned to
a direct job classification outside their own occupational group, they shall be paid the higher of
the rate of their regular job classification or the rate of the job classification to which they
are assigned.

Direct. When a direct employee is temporarily assigned to another direct job classification
outside their own occupational group, they shall be paid the higher of the direct rate of their
regular job classification or the direct rate of the job classification to which they are assigned.
An employee who is classified in a direct labor classification and who is temporarily transferred
to an indirect labor classification, other than pursuant to Article VI, shall be paid either the
rate of their regular classification or the rate of the classification to which they are assigned,
whichever is greater.

Employees hired on or after January 28, 1984, who are working under the new hire rate progression,
will be paid the appropriate rate provided for in this Paragraph when temporarily transferred,
reduced to the applicable rate based upon their time in the new hire rate progression.

117. No employee shall be temporarily transferred to another classification outside their
occupational group (unless they consent) if there is an employee from another occupational group
working in the group and shift and in the Operation to which they are regularly assigned; provided
that this limitation shall not apply when an employee has been temporarily transferred out of the
occupational group because of disability or their own request.

118. It is agreed that a shift differential shall be paid to an employee regularly assigned to
other than the day shift as follows: an employee who works four or more hours after 3:00 p.m. and
before 11:00 p.m. shall receive a differential of fifty-five (.55) cents per hour for each hour
worked; an employee who works four or more hours after 11:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m. shall
receive a differential of sixty-five (.65) cents per hour for each hour worked. An employee
regularly assigned to the first shift shall not receive a shift differential for overtime work. No
change in method of shift differential pay will be made for an employee temporarily transferred
from one shift to another for a period not exceeding one day. If such transfer exceeds one day, the
shift differential shall be, or shall not be, paid in accordance with the provisions of this
Paragraph relating to the shift on which they are temporarily working.

119. Saturday and Sunday shall be as defined in Article IV, Par. 24.

120. In the event the work of a job classification as set forth in Appendix “A” is discontinued or
becomes inoperative, the Union will be immediately notified of the reason thereof. Such
notification does not preclude the filing of a grievance should any disagreement arise between the
parties.

121. Pay Adjustments and Corrections. Where a “retro” adjustment involves a deduction from the
employee’s pay, no more than $50 will be deducted from any one check. In the case of gross errors
the $50 maximum will not apply and other arrangements will be made.

 

27

 

ARTICLE XII

Cost-of-Living

122. For the term of this contract, the cost-of-living provisions will be frozen.

123. (A) Except as set forth below in sub-paragraph (C)(3) and (4), all cost-of-living adjustments
provided in this Article shall be accumulated in a cost-of-living float which shall be an “add-on,”
and shall not be part of an employee’s classification rate. Such adjustments shall be payable only
for clock hours actually worked and for reporting allowances and shall be included in the
calculation of overtime premium, but, except as provided below, shall not be part of the employee’s
pay for any other purpose and shall not be used in calculation of any other pay, allowance, or
benefit. Cost-of-living adjustments will be included in the calculation of holiday pay as defined
in Paragraph 31 of this Agreement. Vacation pay in any year will be calculated from the prior
year’s earnings as stated on the Wage and Tax Statement (Form W2) in accordance with Paragraph 37
of the Agreement.

124. (B) The United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index
for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers — C.P.I. — W U.S. City Average: All items 1982-84 = 100
shall be used as the basis for cost-of-living adjustments provided for in sections (C), (D) and (E)
below. Such index shall be referred to as the “BLS-CPI.”

125. (C) (1) During the calendar year 1999, there shall be four (4) cost-of-living adjustment
dates: February 1, 1999, May 1, 1999, August 1, 1999,
and November 1, 1999.

(2) The cost-of-living adjustment added to the cost-of-living float on such date (if a Monday) or
on the first Monday following such 1999 adjustment dates, if any, will be an adjustment of one cent
($.01) for each full four-tenths (.4) points movement in the BLS-CPI index figures (after the six
cent [$.06] “set off” or “corridor” set forth in [C] [3] below) based upon the following
calculation months for the following 1999 adjustment dates:

February 1, 1999 – Subtract September, 1998 index figure from the December, 1998 index figure.

May 1, 1999 – Subtract December, 1998 index figure from the March, 1999 index figure.

August 1, 1999 – Subtract the March, 1999 index figure from the June, 1999 index figure.

November 1, 1999 – Subtract the June, 1999 index figure from the September, 1999 index figure.

If the calculation for any quarterly adjustment when dividing four-tenths (.4) into the applicable
BLS-CPI index change between calculation month indexes results in tenths of the index left over,
such tenths will be carried over into the BLS-CPI index change between the calculation month
indexes for the next quarterly adjustment.

(3) The first six cents ($.06) which the above formula would otherwise generate for 1999
cost-of-living adjustments on the 1999 adjustment dates will not be paid in any form. No 1999
cost-of-living adjustments will be added to the cost-of-living float until the first six cents
($.06) which the application of the formula would produce has been exceeded and then only the
amount generated in excess of six cents ($.06) shall be added to the cost-of-living float.

126. (D) (1) During the calendar year 2000, there shall be four (4) cost-of-living adjustment
dates: February 1, 2000, May 1, 2000, August 1, 2000, and November 1, 2000.

 

28

 

(2) The cost-of-living adjustment added to the cost-of-living float on such date (if a Monday) or
on the first Monday following such 2000 adjustment dates, if any, will be an adjustment of one cent
($.01) for each full four-tenths (.4) points movement in the BLS-CPI index figures (after the six
cent ($.06) “set off” or “corridor” set forth in (D) (3) below based upon the following calculation
months for the following 2000 adjustment dates:

February 1, 2000 – Subtract the September, 1999 index figure from the December, 1999 index figure.

May 1, 2000 – Subtract the December, 1999 index figure from the March, 2000 index figure.

August 1, 2000 – Subtract the March, 2000 index figure from the June, 2000 index figure.

November 1, 2000 – Subtract the June, 2000 index figure from the September, 2000 index figure.

If the calculation for any quarterly adjustment when dividing four-tenths (.4) into the applicable
BLS-CPI index change between calculation month indexes results in tenths of the index left over,
such tenths will be carried over into the BLS-CPI index change between the calculation month
indexes for the next quarterly adjustment.

(3) The first six cents ($.06) which the above formula would otherwise generate for 2000
cost-of-living adjustments on the 2000 adjustment dates will not be paid in any form. No 2000
cost-of-living adjustments will be added to the cost-of-living float until the first six cents
($.06) which the application of the formula would produce has been exceeded and then only the
amount generated in excess of six cents ($.06) shall be added to the cost-of-living float.

127. (E) (1) During the calendar year 2001, there shall be four (4) cost-of-living adjustment
dates: February 1, 2001, May 1, 2001, August 1, 2001, and November 1, 2001.

(2) The cost-of-living adjustment added to the cost-of-living float on such date (if a Monday) or
on the first Monday following such 2001 adjustment dates, if any, will be an adjustment of one cent
($.01) for each full four-tenths (.4) points movement in the BLS-CPI index figures (after the three
cent ($.03) “set off” or “corridor” set forth in (E) (3) below) based upon the following
calculation months for the following 2001 adjustment dates:

February 1, 2001 – Subtract September, 2000 index figure from the December, 2000 index figure.

May 1, 2001 – Subtract December, 2000 index figure from the March, 2001 index figure.

August 1, 2001 – Subtract the March, 2001 index figure from the June, 2001 index figure.

November 1, 2001 – Subtract the June, 2001 index figure from the September, 2001 index figure.

If the calculation for any quarterly adjustment when dividing four-tenths (.4) into the applicable
BLS-CPI index change between the calculation month indexes results in tenths of the index left
over, such tenths will be carried over into the BLS-CPI index change between the calculation month
indexes for the next quarterly adjustment.

(3) The first three cents ($.03) which the above formula would otherwise generate for 2001
cost-of-living adjustments on the 2001 adjustment dates will not be paid in any form. No 2001
cost-of-living adjustments will be added to the cost-of-living float until the first three cents
($.03) which the application of the formula would produce has been exceeded and then only the
amount generated in excess of three cents ($.03) shall be added to the cost-of-living float.

 

29

 

128. (F) In no event will a reduction of the BLS-CPI and the application of the formulas set forth
in Subsection (C), (D) and (E) provide the basis for a reduction of an employee’s base rate and
such reduction shall reduce the cost-of-living “add on” only to the extent of the amount
accumulated in the cost-of-living float for the quarter or quarters involved.

129. (G) No adjustments, retroactive or otherwise, shall be made due to any revision which may
later be made in the published BLS-CPI index for any month or months specified in Subsections (C),
(D) and (E) above.

130. (H) Should the BLS-CPI, in its present form and on the same basis (including composition of
the “Market Basket” and Consumer Sample) as the last index published prior to January 1, 1999
become unavailable, the parties shall attempt to adjust this Article or, if agreement is not
reached, request the Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide the appropriate
conversion or adjustment which shall be applicable thereafter. The purpose of such conversion shall
be to produce as nearly as possible the same result as would have been achieved using the BLS-CPI
in its present form.

131. (I) In the event the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not issue the Consumer Price Index on or
before the beginning of the pay periods referred to above, any adjustments required will be made at
the beginning of the first pay period after receipt of the Index.

ARTICLE XIII

Safety and Health

132. The Company and the Union will cooperate in the objective of eliminating accidents and health
hazards. The Company shall continue to make reasonable provisions for the safety and health of its
employees at the plants during the hours of their employment. The Company, the Union and the
employees recognize their obligations and/or rights under existing federal and state laws with
respect to safety and health matters.

133. Protective devices and safety apparel necessary to properly protect employees from
injuries shall be provided by the Company. Complaints concerning inadequate heating and/or
ventilation will be given prompt and due consideration.

134. The Company will request a physical examination of each and every new employee hired before
they report for work. They may from time to time request a physical examination of employees now on
the payroll of the Company. It is expressly understood and agreed that any physical examination of
employees on the payroll shall be made at the Company’s expense and shall not be done for the
express purpose of separating the employee from the payroll of the Company.

135. Employees injured at work who, upon direction of the Company approved medical provider or
facility, are unable to complete their shift shall be paid at their classification rate for the
difference between the hours actually worked on that day and

(1) On Monday through Friday, the hours they were actually scheduled to work that day, but not
more than eleven; or

(2) On Saturday, Sunday or holiday if the injury took place during the first four (4) hours of
work, four (4) hours at the applicable premium rate of pay; or, if the injury took place after four
(4) hours of work, the number of hours for which they were scheduled (not in excess of eight) at
the applicable premium rate of pay.

Nothing herein is intended to prevent employees from seeing a doctor of their own choice, but if
they do so on the day of the injury payment under this clause shall require the concurrence of the
Company.

 

30

 

136. A Safety Committee consisting of three employees designated by the Union and at least two
management members designated by the Company shall be established to cover the plant. The Safety
Committee shall hold monthly meetings at times determined by the Committee. The Committee may
engage in periodic safety tours of the items agendaed as part of its regular safety meetings. Time
spent in committee meetings and official committee plant tours shall be considered hours worked to
be compensated by the Company. The function of the Safety
Committee shall be to advise the plant management concerning safety and health and to discuss
legitimate safety and health matters but not to handle grievances. In the discharge of its
function, the Safety Committee shall: consider existing practices and rules relating to safety and
health, formulate suggested changes in existing practices and rules, recommend adoption of new
practices and rules, review proposed safety and health programs developed by management and review
accident severity and frequency statistics. All accidents involving fatalities or serious disabling
injuries, or such other serious situations as merit investigation, such as fires, explosions, or
like catastrophes shall be agendaed to the Safety Committee for consideration. Upon request, the
Union Safety Committee will be given access on a confidential basis to reports or studies that
directly relate to safety hazards, health or dangerous conditions that exist in the plant (e.g.,
air sampling and noise monitoring). A Union Safety Committee Member upon notice to the Management
Safety Council shall be given affordable time to present issues pertaining to safety, at the
Management Safety Council meeting.

137. The Union Chairperson or a designee shall be notified immediately when a serious accident has
occurred. By the tenth of each month the Company will provide the Union a list of all employees who
were sent from work to the physician for treatment during the prior month for work related (or
claimed work related) injuries claimed at work during that month.

138. The Union Chairperson or a designee will be afforded time off from their job as may be
required to visit departments’ at all reasonable times for the purpose of transacting the
legitimate business of the Committee, after notice to the supervisor of the department to be
visited and the permission (which shall not be withheld) from their own supervisor. The Company
will pay up to four (4) hours/week toward the time spent in such activity.

139. New rules and regulations applicable to safety and health will be posed and discussed with the
Safety Committee with the objective of increasing employee cooperation.

140. Recommendations of the Safety Committee shall be submitted to the appropriate Manager for
their consideration and for such action that they may consider consistent with the Company’s
responsibility to provide for the safety and health of its employees during the hours of their
employment and the mutual objective set forth in Par. 132.

141. Grievances involving safety matters shall first be raised orally between the grieving employee
and their supervisor as provided in the grievance procedure. If the grievance is not satisfactorily
resolved, the employee may immediately (within two (2) working days) file in writing in the second
step under such procedure.

ARTICLE XIV

Insurance and Pensions

142. Any benefits payable under said provisions will be coordinated so that the total benefits
payable under all such group plans will not exceed 100% of the charges for such services.

143. The term “employer group or prepayment plan” is defined as any group plan for which any
employer makes contributions or for which any employer provides a means of collecting contributions
required by employees (including payroll deduction).

144. The Pension Agreement, Health Benefits, 401K Plan, Dental Plan, Life and A& S Benefits as
provided for in this Agreement shall remain in effect for the term of this Agreement
unless mutually agreed to between the Company and the Union.

 

31

 

ARTICLE XV

Severance Allowance

145. When in the sole judgment of the Company it decides to permanently discontinue the
operation of a plant or a substantial section of a plant and finds it necessary to terminate the
employment of employees as a result thereof, any employee whose employment is terminated either
directly or indirectly as a result thereof and who is not entitled or indirectly as a result
thereof and who is not entitled to other employment with the Company under the provisions of
Article VI of this Agreement or Par. 147 below will be entitled to a severance allowance in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Article.

146. Eligibility. To be eligible for a severance allowance an employee must have accumulated one
or more years of seniority at the time of termination, as computed in accordance with Article VI of
this Agreement.

147. As an exception to Par. 146 above, however, any employee otherwise eligible for a severance
allowance that is offered a job within the bargaining unit under the provisions of Article VI of
this Agreement will not be entitled to severance allowances whether they accept or reject the job
offer. If such a transfer results directly in the permanent termination of some other employee,
that employee will then be eligible for a severance allowance, subject to all of the other
provisions of this Article.

148. In lieu of severance allowance, the Company may offer an eligible employee a job outside the
bargaining unit. The employee will have the option of either accepting the job offered or receiving
severance allowance.

149. Scale of Allowance — An eligible employee will receive a severance allowance based on his
seniority at the time of termination as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Weeks of
	 	 	Severance
	Seniority as of Date of Termination	 	Allowance
	 
	 	 	 	 
	1 year but less than 2 years
	 	2 weeks
	2 years but less than 5 years
	 	4 weeks
	5 years but less than 10 years
	 	6 weeks
	10 years but less than 20 years
	 	8 weeks
	20 years or more
	 	12 weeks

150. Calculation of Allowance — A week of severance allowance will be calculated in accordance
with the provisions for calculating a week of paid vacation as set forth in Article V of the
Agreement.

151. Payment of Severance Allowance — Payment of any severance allowance for which an employee may
be eligible will be made in a lump sum at the time of termination.

152. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article, any employee who is eligible for a
severance allowance under the provisions of this Article, may, at the time of termination, elect to
be placed on layoff status for a period of one (1) year, rather than to be terminated and receive
severance allowance. At the end of such period, such an employee may elect to remain on layoff
status or to be terminated and receive the severance allowance to which they are entitled. If such
an employee elects to remain on layoff at the expiration of such period, they will forfeit their
right to the severance allowance to which they would otherwise be eligible.

 

32

 

153. An employee who voluntarily terminated their employment with the Company before they are
terminated by the Company will not be entitled to a severance allowance.

154. Nonduplication of Allowance. Severance allowance shall not be duplicated for the same
severance, whether the other obligation arises by reason of contract, law, or otherwise. If an
individual is or shall become entitled to any discharge, liquidation, severance or dismissal
allowance or payment of similar kind by reason of any law of the United States of America or any of
the states, districts, or territories thereof subject to its jurisdiction, the total amount of such
payments shall be deducted from the severance allowance to which the individual may be entitled
under this Article, or any payment made by the Company under this Article may be offset against
such payments. Statutory unemployment compensation payments shall be excluded from the
nonduplication provisions of this Section, except that the severance allowance will be allocated by
the Company to the equivalent number of weeks immediately following termination.

ARTICLE XVI

Termination, Expiration and Scope

155. The terms and conditions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until 12:00
p.m. (midnight), March 28, 2010, and shall continue in full force and effect indefinitely
thereafter, provided, however, that either party may terminate this Agreement at any time on or
after March 28, 2010 by giving to the other party at least sixty days prior written notice by
certified mail of its election to terminate. In the event the Company shall desire such termination
of the Agreement, such notice shall be sent by certified mail to the District Office of the United
Steelworkers, 1126 South 70th Street, Suite N509A, West Allis, WI 53214 and a copy shall
be sent to the offices of Local Union 3245 at 1620 Shore Drive, Beloit, Wisconsin, 53511. In the
event the Union shall desire such termination of the Agreement, notice of such desire shall be sent
by the Union by certified mail to the offices of the Company, 449 Gardner Street, South Beloit, IL
61080. Either party may by written notice change the address to which certified mail notice to it
shall be given.

ARTICLE XVII

Compliance with Law

156. It is understood and agreed that if any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are, or
become in violation of any State or Federal laws, they are null and void so long as they may be in
violation, and it is further agreed that the parties hereto shall immediately meet for the purpose
of resolving any term or provisions so indicated.

September 19, 1986

Mr. Lawrence Duncan

Staff Representative

United Steelworkers of America

Beloit, Wisconsin 53511

Dear Mr. Duncan:

Our policy is to utilize our own employees to the maximum practical extent in production and
maintenance work. At the same time, it is recognized that problems of skill, equipment, time,
economy, and know-how may render it necessary or expedient to subcontract. Whenever the Union feels
that subcontracting involves work which could be done economically and within the prescribed time
limits by bargaining unit employees, the Company will discuss and explain the matter upon request
to the Union. It is further agreed that the Company will notify the Union in writing prior to
subcontractors coming into the plant to perform such work or such work being sent out, or contracts
to perform such work being signed by management. This letter is not merely meant to constitute a
notification procedure but it is intended to, where possible, provide sufficient advance notice so
as to allow the Union to, upon request, discuss the decision.

Sincerely,

Donald F. Sorensen

Manager — Employee Relations

Warner Electric Brake & Clutch Company

APPENDIX “C”

OVERTIME DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

1. Supervisors shall be responsible for the equalization of overtime and for maintaining and
the daily posting of overtime distribution records; each group showing the names of the employees
in the group and the overtime hours worked and/or declined by each employee, total overtime hours
charged, and the employee’s shift and overtime group to which assigned. Overtime hours charged but
not worked will be identified with a circle around the hours charged.

2. Overtime within each overtime group shall be maintained within the thirty straight time hour
spread, regardless of shift.

3. Only overtime that is offered to an employee on or before his shift prior to the shift on which
the overtime is to be worked will be charged to an employee who declines the offered overtime. It
is agreed that in the event an employee is scheduled to work overtime for any of the reasons
spelled out below, they shall be charged. There is no intent to allow anyone to arbitrarily
schedule an employee to work overtime just for the sake of charging them to bring their overtime in
line without working anyone. For the purpose of charging overtime, it is understood that, the
overtime period begins at the time the employee completes a normal work day (8 hours).

4. No employee shall be discriminated against or disciplined for their inability to work overtime,
except that an employee shall be required to work overtime if they have agreed to do so, or if they
have been notified to work overtime at least forty (40) hours ahead of time and have not been
excused.

5. Overtime hours worked or declined by the employee shall be charged on the basis of straight time
for each hour.

6. When an employee new to the Company has passed sixty days of their probationary period, they
shall be charged with the average overtime hours in the overtime group to which they are assigned.
The new employee will not work overtime hours prior to their 60th day unless all
employees in their overtime group are assigned to work overtime, or unless all other available
employees in their overtime group have been asked to work.

 

41

 

7. When an employee is transferred (other than temporary transfers) they shall be charged with the
average of the overtime group to which they are assigned on the first day of their transfer.

8. When an employee in an overtime group is absent for any reason, they shall be charged for the
overtime hours that they could have worked had they been available.

9. When the Company attempts, but is unable to contact any employee not on Company premises, the
employee shall not be charged with the overtime hours which the Company was attempting to offer
them.

10. The Company may schedule employees to continue work during overtime hours which they were
performing during straight-time hours even though this may create a temporary imbalance of overtime
opportunities within the limitations specified in Paragraph 2 above.

11. When an overtime group is exhausted the Company will use an employee from that same
occupational group provided there is not an experienced employee currently in the area.

12. If an overtime group is not exhausted, and an employee from another overtime group performs
overtime work in that overtime group (except as is provided in Paragraph 34, Article IV) the
Company shall reimburse the low employee in the overtime group for the actual overtime hours they
would otherwise have worked, at the appropriate overtime premium rate. It is recognized that time
to time an employee scheduled for overtime may fail to report as scheduled, and the Company may
assign an employee from another overtime group if necessary, or an employee from the proper
overtime group, whichever is practicable, without incurring any violation of these overtime
distribution provisions, until such time as with reasonable diligence a proper employee from the
proper overtime group can be assigned. For purposes of this Appendix, the availability of an
employee in an overtime group shall be considered exhausted if all hours of overtime opportunity
are offered to the employees within the overtime group in a twenty-four (24) hour period in
accordance with the provisions of Article III and Article IV of this Agreement.

13. If the Company bypasses the lowest available employee in the overtime group (and the overtime
hours of such employee are lower than the permissible spread at the time the overtime begins), the
Company shall be liable to reimburse such employee at the appropriate overtime premium rate for the
actual overtime hours they otherwise would have worked. Employees who receive reimbursement without
working shall be charged with the appropriate number of hours on the overtime list.

14. The overtime distribution total shall continue from year to year without a cutoff date being
applicable. In other words, if an employee is behind on their overtime opportunities for the
previous contract year, they shall have first opportunity for overtime hours in the succeeding
year. The overtime totals shall be carried over at the end of each contract year in the same manner
as they are carried over from month to month during the contract year.

 

42

 

15. For purposes of overtime distribution only, a vacation taken in weekly increments will be
considered to start on Friday after the completion of the employee’s shift and finishing at the
start of the employee’s shift on Monday following the week or the multiple of weeks vacation. In
the case of a day or day’s vacation immediately before a weekend, the weekend shall be considered
as part of the employee’s vacation with work commencing on their regular shift on Monday. If
the employee elects to take a day or day’s vacation starting Monday, the vacation will be
considered as having started on the previous Friday at the end of the employee’s shift. In the case
of single day’s vacation taken on Friday or Monday, an employee may at their option, if asked, work
weekend overtime.

16. In scheduling weekend overtime the following procedure shall apply:

	 	(A)	 	The supervisor involved will, in accordance with normal practice, determine how many,
and which employees are required for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday overtime.
	 
	 	 	 	Should the supervisor determine to ask an employee who would be “on vacation” (which, in
accordance with Paragraph 15 of the Overtime Distribution Agreement, begins at the end of
their shift on Friday) the employee will be charged for overtime if asked. If the
employee’s entire overtime group has been scheduled, the employee will be considered
“asked.”
	 
	 	(B)	 	The Company may, either by asking the employee as an individual or by scheduling
their entire overtime group, offer an employee overtime work on the Friday or Saturday or
Sunday which begins their vacation. No disciplinary action will be taken if the employee
refuses this overtime unless they have accepted the overtime assignment and fail to
report.

When the Company schedules or asks an entire overtime group for a week or more at a time all
employees in that overtime group will be charged for all hours scheduled or asked unless the
employee’s overtime is cancelled by a supervisor.

When an employee is on leave of absence or vacation they will be charged for overtime hours worked
if one employee above the employee on leave of absence or vacation and all the employees below are
asked to work.

	 	(C)	 	With the exception of the Friday or Saturday or Sunday which begins as employee’s
vacation, an employee on vacation will not be eligible for overtime assignments during
their vacation, but will however be charged for overtime in accordance with Paragraph 8 of
the Overtime Distribution Agreement.

17. If an employee has a physical limitation, known to the supervisor, due to a dermatitis
condition, back or weight limitation, or legal restriction, etc., so that they are precluded from
these tasks during straight time hours, they will not be permitted to work at these tasks on
overtime hours. However, they shall be charged for all overtime hours that would have been
available to them, provided that another employee actually performs the work. Such limitation shall
be noted on the overtime record.

18. The Company shall make every attempt to notify employees of overtime as soon as possible.

Participation by Employees

8. Each employee shall be a participant in the Program and the amount, if any, which he shall be
required to contribute to the cost thereof, shall be deducted by the Company from his pay. Each
Employee shall furnish to the Company any such written authorization or assignment (in a form
agreed to by the Company and the Union) as shall be necessary to authorize the deduction from his
pay of the amount of any contributions.

Changing selection during plan year is possible only if you have a change in your family
situation. This would include:

	 	•	 	The birth or adoption of a child.
	 
	 	•	 	Marriage or divorce.
	 
	 	•	 	Death of your spouse or other dependent.
	 
	 	•	 	Significant change in employee or spousal health coverage attributable to the
spouse’s employment.
	 
	 	•	 	Employee or spousal employment status change.

Other major changes may be considered, depending on the circumstances.

Requirements of Law

9. It is intended that the provisions for the insurance benefits which shall be included in the
Program shall comply with and be in substitution for the provisions for similar benefits which are
or shall be made by any applicable law or laws. Where, by agreement, certain basic benefits under
the Program are provided under law rather than under the Program, the Company will pay the amount
required to be paid therefore, including any employee contribution required by law on account of
such benefits. The Company shall, after consultation with the Union, reduce the benefits of the
Program to the extent that benefits provided under any law would otherwise duplicate any of the
Program benefits.

Effective January 30, 2005, active and retired employees and their dependents, who are 65
years or older and who are entitled to Medicare, will not be reimbursed for the Part B monthly
premium, if they are paying such premium under the Medicare Program. In addition, the Company will
not reimburse the monthly Part B premium for disability retirees retiring on or after January 30,
2005 if they are paying such premium under the Medicare program.

Additional and Alternate Benefits

10. The Program shall be in substitution for any and all insurance benefits or payments to or on
behalf of Employees for death, sickness or accident, hospitalization, medical or surgical service
provided by the Company in whole, or in part, except as the Company and the Union have agreed or
may agree in writing.

Administration of the Program

11. The Program shall be administered by the Company or through arrangements provided by it. Except
as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, the Company will arrange to have the
hospitalization and physicians’ services benefits under the Program provided through contracts with
carriers selected by the Company, which contracts, respectively, shall be consistent with this
Agreement and shall provide benefits in the amounts listed in Appendix E. Sickness and accident
benefits and life insurance shall be provided by such method and through such carriers, if any, as
the Company in its sole discretion shall determine.

All benefits except life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment and weekly income
benefits shall be paid directly to the provider of the service for which benefits are payable.

Administration of Sickness and Accident Benefits

12. The payment of sickness and accident benefits is an obligation of the Company, but the
Agreement with the Union permits the Company to provide the payment through a policy with an
insurance company. The Company performs important administrative functions in connection with the
handling of claims, including the issuance of benefit checks. In the typical case, such handling
is routine and a claim is paid within two weeks after it is received by the Company. The Company
is authorized to make benefit payments on claims without prior approval of the insurance company
when Company personnel engaged in claims work determine the claim meets the standards established
by the insurance company for Company approval. If you have a claim which does not meet these
standards it is referred to the insurance company for decision and you are notified of such action
within two weeks after the claim is received by the Company. In reaching its decision, the
insurance company may take reasonable steps to investigate the medical and other factual aspects
of the claim.

Life Insurance for Disability Retirees

13. An employee who shall retire on or after January 30, 2005 under the disability provisions of
the Company Pension Plan at or after age 57 and prior to age 62 will have his life insurance (in
the full amount set forth in Appendix E) continued until age 62 at which time it will be reduced to
$5,000.00.

An employee who shall retire under the disability provisions of the Company Pension Plan prior
to age 57 will receive in equal monthly installments over a five year period the full face value of
his life insurance benefit then in effect. If death occurs before the full face value has been
paid, his beneficiary will be paid the difference between said full face value and the amount
already paid.

At the time an employee in any of the above categories leaves the employment of the Company,
Accidental Death & Dismemberment coverage will cease.

BENEFIT CONTINUATION CLAUSE FOR EARLY RETIREMENT WINDOW PLAN

The Company and the Union have agreed to an early retirement window plan which shall be
available to designated employees who notify the Company of their election to retire by August 1,
2006 and retire before December 31, 2006.

Employees who retire in accordance with the above-described early retirement window plan
(“early retirees”), and employees who have retired between December 1, 2004 and May 5, 2006, shall
be eligible for continued coverage under the Company’s medical and retiree life insurance plans
until they reach age 65.

Early retirees who elect continued coverage shall make the same contributions and receive the
same medical benefits as active employees. Early retirees shall be eligible for single, couple or
family coverage, subject to the applicable contribution. Contributions to the cost of insurance
shall be made by the retiree by sending in a monthly check to the Company by the 1st of
each month.

Early retirees between the ages of 57 and 65, who elect single, couple or family coverage
under the medical plan, shall have their medical coverage continued until such a time they are
qualified for Medicare or Medicaid or in the case of children until they no longer qualify because
of age, disability, marriage, etc.

Early retirees shall be subject to the same plan terms and rules as active employees,
including but not limited to dates for changing coverage, contributions, exclusions, co-pays,
deductibles, benefits, limits on benefits, etc. Such terms and rules may be amended, subject only
to the Company’s duty to negotiate with the Union over changes in benefits affecting active
employees. If any amendments are made to the terms affecting active employees, early retirees will
be subject to the same amendments as active employees. In the event coverage for active employees
is terminated, coverage for early retirees shall also be terminated.

 

53

 

For purposes of COBRA coverage, retirement shall be treated as a qualifying event and the
maximum period for COBRA coverage shall be measured from the date of retirement.

This clause shall survive expiration of the collective bargaining agreement. This clause
shall be binding on the Company and its successors.

Extension of Benefits

14. If an employee shall be absent from the service of the Company for a period not to exceed
thirty (30) months, due to non-occupational disability (validated by doctor’s certificate) the
insurance program shall be kept in effect for such employees during such thirty (30) month’s period
only. In cases of absence due to occupational disability, the insurance program shall be kept in
effect for up to five (5) years.

 

54

 

In cases of layoff of employees with less than two (2) years of seniority, the group insurance
program shall cease on the last day worked except that such employee shall have the conversion
privileges provided for in the master insurance policy. In cases of layoff of employees with two
(2) or more years of seniority, sickness and accident benefit coverage will cease on the last day
worked; life insurance, hospitalization benefits, and surgical benefits shall be kept in effect for
two (2) months after the end of the month in which the employee last worked; life

the required premiums in advance to the Company in the amount specified in Paragraph 4 (a) above.

In cases where an active employee dies with five (5) but less than ten (10) years of seniority
with dependent coverage in effect at the time of death, the dependent coverage (hospital, surgical,
medical, dental and drug only) will be continued for the dependents during the month of death and
the following six months assuming continued payment of the monthly premium contribution provided
for in the group insurance program. This extension shall be the month of death and the twelve
following months in the case of an active employee who dies with ten (10) or more years of
seniority and with dependent coverage in effect at the time of death.

Extent of Company Obligation

15. The failure of any carrier to provide for benefits under the Program shall not result in any
liability to the Company, nor shall such failure be considered a breach by the Company of any of
the obligations which it has undertaken by this or any other agreement with the Union. In the event
of any such failure, the Company and the Union shall immediately take action to provide substitute
coverage in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Differences between claimants and the
insurance carrier or their agents shall not be subject to the grievance procedure provided in the
Basic Agreement. In the event of a disputed claim the Company will assist in communicating with the
insurance carrier to assure compliance with the Master Insurance Contract.

Insurance Reports

16. The Union shall be furnished, upon request, an annual report regarding the Program. From time
to time during the term of this Agreement, the Union shall be furnished such additional information
as shall be reasonably required for the purpose of enabling it to be properly informed concerning
the operation of the Program. Any accounting under the Program shall make no distinction between
the experience with respect to Employees and other employees who may be covered, except that
experience of employees who participate in the Program on a different basis or are entitled to
different benefits from those provided for employees represented by the Union shall be included in
such accounting only to the extent that the Company and the Union agree to such inclusion. The
Company will continue the present arrangements under which it undertakes the keeping of insurance
records of individual employees, the completion of individual employees’ certificates, the
recording of changes in insurance classifications and a major portion of the investigation and
payment of claim. The cost to the Company of performing such work will not, for any accounting
under the Program, be deemed to be a cost of the Program.
