                           qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign

<PAGE>

                  x.       to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax
                           obligations by electing to have the Company withhold
                           from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an
                           Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares
                           having a Fair Market Value equal to he amount
                           required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the
                           Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date
                           that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be

                           withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form
                           and under such conditions as the Administrator may
                           deem necessary advisable; and

                  xi.      to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
                           awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

         c.       Effect of Administrator's Decision. All decisions,
                  determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall
                  be final and binding on all Optionees.

5.       Eligibility.

         a.       Non-statutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be
                  granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be
                  granted only to Employees.

         b.       Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as
                  either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-statutory Stock
                  Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the
                  extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with
                  respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for
                  the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under
                  all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
                  $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-statutory Stock
                  Options. For purposes of this Section 5(b), Incentive Stock
                  Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they
                  were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be
                  determined as of the time the Option with respect to such
                  Shares is granted.

         c.       Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
                  confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing
                  the Optionee's relationship as a Service Provider with the
                  Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her
                  right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at
                  any time, with or without cause.

6.       Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the
         Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless
         sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

7.       Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option

         Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten
         (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive
         Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is
         granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
         voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
         Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the
         date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option
         Agreement.

8.       Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

         a.       The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon
                  exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by
                  the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:

                                    representing more than ten percent (10%) of
                                    the voting power of all classes of stock of
                                    the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
                                    exercise price shall be no less than 110% of
                                    the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
                                    of grant.

                  ii.      In the case of a Non-statutory Stock Option

                           (A)      granted to a Service Provider who, at the

                                    time of grant of such Option, owns stock
                                    representing more than ten percent (10%) of
                                    the voting power of all classes of stock of
                                    the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
                                    exercise price shall be no less than 110% of
                                    the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
                                    of the grant.

                           (B)      granted to any other Service Provider, the
                                    per Share exercise price shall be no less
                                    than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share
                                    on the date of grant.

         b.       The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
                  exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall
                  be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an
                  Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of
                  grant). Such consideration may consist of (1) cash, (2) check,
                  (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of
                  Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by
                  the Optionee for more than six months on the date of
                  surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of
                  surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares
                  as to which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration
                  received by the Company under a cash-less exercise program
                  implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, or (6)
                  any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making
                  its determination as to the type of consideration to accept,
                  the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such
                  consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the
                  Company.

9.       Exercise of Option.

         a.       Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option
                  granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms
                  hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined
                  by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement,
                  but in no case at a rate of less than 20% per year over five
                  (5) years from the date the Option is granted. Unless the
                  Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted
                  hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence.
                  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An
                  Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives:

                  (i)      written or electronic notice of exercise (in
                           accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person
                           entitled to exercise the Option, and

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     full payment for the Shares with respect to which the
                           Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any
                           consideration and method of payment authorized by the
                           Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement
                           and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an
                           Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee
                           or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the
                           Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are
                           issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the
                           books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
                           agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive
                           dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall
                           exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the
                           exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or
                           cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
                           Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a
                           dividend or other right for which the record date is
                           prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as
                           provided in Section 12 of the Plan. Exercise of an
                           Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in
                           the number of Shares thereafter available, both for
                           purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option,
                           by the number of Shares as to which the Option is
                           exercised.

         b.       Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an
                  Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may
                  exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is
                  specified in the Option Agreement (of at least thirty (30)
                  days and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, no longer
                  than 90 days) to the extent that the Option is vested on the
                  date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration
                  of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option
                  Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option
                  Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3)
                  months following the Optionee's termination. If, on the date
                  of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her
                  entire Option, the Shares covered by the un-vested portion of
                  the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination,
                  the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the
                  time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall
                  terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert
                  to the Plan.

         c.       Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
                  Provider as a result of the Optionee's disability, the
                  Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of
                  time as is specified in the Option Agreement (in the case of
                  an Incentive Stock Option, no longer than one year) to the
                  extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in
                  no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option
                  as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a
                  specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall
                  remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the
                  Optionee's termination. If such disability is not a
                  "disability" as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of
                  the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such
                  Incentive Stock Option shall automatically cease to be treated
                  as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax
                  purposes as a Non- statutory Stock Option on the day three
                  months and one day following such termination. If, on the date
                  of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her
                  entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of
                  the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination,
                  the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the
                  time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the
                  Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

<PAGE>

         d.       Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service
                  Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of
                  time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event
                  later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set
                  forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by
                  a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by
                  bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option
                  is vested on the date of death. In the absence of a specified
                  time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
                  exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's
                  termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not
                  vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by
                  the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to
                  the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or
                  administrator of the Optionee's estate or, if none, by the
                  person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Optionee's
                  will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is
                  not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option
                  shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall
                  revert to the Plan.

10.      Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Options and
         Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
         transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the
         laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
         lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

11.      Stock Purchase Rights.

         a.       Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either
                  alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted
                  under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.

                  After the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock
                  Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in
                  writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and
                  restrictions related to the offer, including the number of
                  Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the
                  price to be paid, and the time within which such person must
                  accept such offer. The terms of the offer shall comply in all
                  respects with Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California
                  Code of Regulations. The offer shall be accepted by execution
                  of a Restricted Stock purchase agreement in the form
                  determined by the Administrator.

         b.       Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines
                  otherwise, the Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall grant
                  the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary
                  or involuntary termination of the purchaser's service with the
                  Company for any reason (including death or disability). The
                  purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
                  Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall be the original
                  price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of
                  any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The
                  repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the
                  Administrator may determine, but in no case at a rate of less
                  than 20% per year over five years from the date of purchase.

         c.       Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock purchase agreement
                  shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not
                  inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the
                  Administrator in its sole discretion.

         d.       Rights as a Stockholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is
                  exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those
                  of a stockholder and shall be a stockholder when his or her
                  purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized
                  transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be made for
                  a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior
                  to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as
                  provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

12.      Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.

         a.       Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by
                  the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of
                  Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option or Stock
                  Purchase Right, and the number of shares of Common Stock which
                  have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
                  which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been
                  granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon
                  cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock Purchase
                  Right, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
                  by each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall
                  be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in
                  the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a
                  stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination
                  or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase
                  or decreases in the number of issued shares of Common Stock
                  effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. The
                  conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall
                  not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of
                  consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Executive
                  Committee of the Board, whose determination in that respect
                  shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly
                  provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock
                  of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock
                  of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason
                  thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of
                  shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Stock Purchase
                  Right.

         b.       Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
                  dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator
                  shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the
                  effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator
                  in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the
                  right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15) days
                  prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock
                  covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would
                  not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator

                  may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to
                  any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option or Stock
                  Purchase Right shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the
                  proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time
                  and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been
                  previously exercised, an Option or Stock Purchase Right will
                  terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
                  proposed action.

         c.       Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company
                  with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially
                  all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and
                  Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option
                  or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent
                  or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that
                  the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for
                  the Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully
                  vest in and have the right to exercise the Option or Stock
                  Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock, including
                  Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or
                  exercisable. If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes
                  fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or
                  substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
                  Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or
                  electronically that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
                  be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from
                  the date of such notice, and the Option or Stock Purchase
                  Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For
                  the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase
                  Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or
                  sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to
                  purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject
                  to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the
                  merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock,
                  cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger
                  or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share

<PAGE>

                  held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders
                  were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
                  consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the
                  outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such
                  consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not
                  solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
                  Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the
                  successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be
                  received upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase
                  Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option
                  or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely common stock of the
                  successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value
                  to the per share consideration received by holders of Common
                  Stock in the merger or sale of assets.

13.      Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights. The date of grant
         of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the
         date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such
         Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by
         the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each
         Employee or Consultant to whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right is so
         granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

14.      Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

         a.       Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend,
                  alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

         b.       Stockholder Approval. The Board shall obtain stockholder
                  approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and
                  desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

         c.       Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
                  suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights
                  of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the
                  Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in
                  writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
                  Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's
                  ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with
                  respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of
                  such termination.

15.      Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

         a.       Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
                  exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and
                  the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with
                  Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval
                  of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

                  an Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising
                  such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such
                  exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for
                  investment and without any present intention to sell or
                  distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the
                  Company, such a representation is required.

16.      Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain
         authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
         is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful
         issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of
         any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as
         to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

17.      Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, at
         all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
         sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES

      2.1 Loans.

          (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein,
each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of
Loans to Borrowers from time to time in amounts requested by a Borrower (or
Borrower Agent on behalf of Borrowers) up to the amount outstanding at any time
equal to the lesser of: (i) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing Bases of
Borrowers at such time or (ii) the Maximum Credit.

          (b) Except in Agent's discretion, with the consent of all Lenders, or
as otherwise provided herein, (i) the aggregate amount of the Loans and the
Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding at any time shall not exceed the
Maximum Credit, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and Letter of
Credit Accommodations outstanding at any time to Borrowers shall not exceed the
aggregate amount of the Borrowing Bases of Borrowers, and (iii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Loans outstanding at any time to Borrowers based on the
Eligible Inventory of Borrowers (and included the then undrawn amounts of Letter
of Credit Accommodations used to purchase Inventory to the extent set forth in
Section 1.10 hereof) shall not exceed $40,000,000.

          (c) In the event that the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and

Base of such Borrower or the Loan Limit of such Borrower, or the aggregate
principal amount of Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations based on the
Eligible Inventory of a Borrower exceed the Inventory Loan Limit of

<PAGE>

such Borrower, or the aggregate principal amount of Loans and Letter of Credit
Accommodations based on the Eligible Inventory of all Borrowers exceeds the
sublimit set forth above, or the aggregate amount of the outstanding Letter of
Credit Accommodations exceed the sublimit for Letter of Credit Accommodations
set forth in Section 2.2(e), or the aggregate amount of the Loans and Letter of
Credit Accommodations exceed the Maximum Credit, such event shall not limit,
waive or otherwise affect any rights of Agent or Lenders in such circumstances
or on any future occasions and subject to the immediately following sentence of
this subsection (c), Borrowers shall, upon demand by Agent, which may be made at
any time or from time to time, immediately repay to Agent the entire amount of
any such excess(es) for which payment is demanded. In the event that a Borrower
has Excess Availability, and the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and
Letter of Credit Accommodations outstanding to the other Borrower exceeds the
Borrowing Base of such other Borrower or the Loan Limit of such other Borrower,
Agent shall cause the repayment of such excess, without notice or demand, by the
transfer of Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations in the loan account of the
Borrower with Agent whose Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations exceed its
Borrowing Base or Loan Limit to the loan account of the Borrower that has Excess
Availability to the extent of such Excess Availability.

     2.2  Letter of Credit Accommodations.

          (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, at
the request of a Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower), Agent
agrees, for the ratable risk of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share, to
provide or arrange for Letter of Credit Accommodations for the account of such
Borrower but for the benefit of any Borrower or Guarantor containing terms and
conditions acceptable to Agent and the issuer thereof. Any payments made by or
on behalf of Agent or any Lender to any issuer thereof and/or related parties in
connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations provided to or for the
benefit of a Borrower shall constitute additional Loans to such Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2 (or Special Agent Advances as the case may be).

          (b) In addition to any charges, fees or expenses charged by any bank
or issuer in connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations, Borrowers
shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a letter of credit fee at a rate
equal to two (2%) percent per annum, on the daily outstanding balance of the
Letter of Credit Accommodations for the immediately preceding month (or part
thereof), payable in arrears as of the first day of each succeeding month,
except that Agent may, and upon the written direction of Required Lenders shall,
require Borrowers to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders such letter
of credit fee, at a rate equal to four (4%) percent per annum on such daily
outstanding balance for: (i) the period from and after the date of termination
hereof until Agent and Lenders have received full and final payment of all
Obligations (notwithstanding entry of a judgment against any Borrower) and (ii)
the period from and after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default for
so long as such Event of Default is continuing as determined by Agent. Such
letter of credit fee shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty
(360) day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of Borrowers to pay
such fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

                                       33

<PAGE>

             (c) The Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit Accommodation (or
Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower) shall give Agent two (2) Business
Days' prior written notice of such Borrower's request for the issuance of a
Letter of Credit Accommodation. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit Accommodation
requested, the effective date (which date shall be a Business Day) of issuance
of such requested Letter of Credit Accommodation, whether such Letter of Credit
Accommodations may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the date on which
such requested Letter of Credit Accommodation is to expire (which date shall be
a Business Day and in no event shall be a date later than five (5) Business Days
prior to the Renewal Date), the purpose for which such Letter of Credit
Accommodation is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of
Credit Accommodation. The Borrower requesting the Letter of Credit Accommodation
(or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower) shall attach to such notice the
proposed terms of the Letter of Credit Accommodation.

             (d) In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the
applicable conditions precedent contained in Section 4 hereof and the other
terms and conditions contained herein, no Letter of Credit Accommodations shall
be available unless each of the following conditions precedent have been
satisfied in a manner satisfactory to Agent: (i) the Borrower requesting such
Letter of Credit Accommodation (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower)
shall have delivered to the proposed issuer of such Letter of Credit
Accommodation at such times and in such manner as such proposed issuer may
require, an application, in form and substance satisfactory to such proposed
issuer and Agent, for the issuance of the Letter of Credit Accommodation and
such other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the
form and terms of the proposed Letter of Credit Accommodation shall be
satisfactory to Agent and such proposed issuer, (ii) as of the date of issuance,
no order of any court, arbitrator or other Governmental Authority shall purport
by its terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks generally from issuing
letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of Credit
Accommodation, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks
generally and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks
generally shall prohibit, or request that the proposed issuer of such Letter of
Credit Accommodation refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally
or the issuance of such Letter of Credit Accommodation; and (iii) the Excess
Availability of the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit Accommodation,
prior to giving effect to any Reserves with respect to such Letter of Credit
Accommodations, on the date of the proposed issuance of any Letter of Credit
Accommodations, shall be equal to or greater than: (A) if the proposed Letter of
Credit Accommodation is for the purpose of purchasing Eligible Inventory and the
documents of title with respect thereto are consigned to the issuer, the sum of
(1) the percentage equal to one hundred (100%) percent minus the then applicable
percentage with respect to Eligible Inventory set forth in the definition of the
term Borrowing Base multiplied by the Value of such Eligible Inventory, plus (2)
freight, taxes, duty and other amounts which Agent estimates must be paid in
connection with such Inventory upon arrival and for delivery to one of such
Borrower's locations for Eligible Inventory within the United States of America
and (B) if the proposed Letter of Credit Accommodation is for any other purpose
or the documents of title are not consigned to the issuer in connection with a
Letter of Credit Accommodation for the purpose of purchasing Inventory, an
amount equal to one hundred (100%)

                                       34

<PAGE>

percent of the face amount thereof and all other commitments and obligations
made or incurred by Agent with respect thereto. Effective on the issuance of
each Letter of Credit Accommodation, a Reserve shall be established in the
applicable amount set forth in Section 2.2(d)(iii)(A) or Section 2.2(d)(iii)(B).

             (e) Except in Agent's discretion, with the consent of all Lenders,
the amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations and all other
commitments and obligations made or incurred by Agent or any Lender in
connection therewith shall not at any time exceed $30,000,000.

             (f) Borrowers and Guarantors shall indemnify and hold Agent and
Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses which Agent or any Lender may suffer or incur in
connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations and any documents, drafts or
acceptances relating thereto, including any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses due to any action taken by any issuer or
correspondent with respect to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, except for
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses that are a direct
result of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as
determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Each Borrower and Guarantor assumes all risks with respect to the
acts or omissions of the drawer under or beneficiary of any Letter of Credit
Accommodation and for such purposes the drawer or beneficiary shall be deemed
such Borrower's agent. Each Borrower and Guarantor assumes all risks for, and
agrees to pay, all foreign, Federal, State and local taxes, duties and levies
relating to any goods subject to any Letter of Credit Accommodations or any
documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby
releases and holds Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any acts,
waivers, errors, delays or omissions, whether caused by any Borrower, Guarantor,
by any issuer or correspondent or otherwise with respect to or relating to any
Letter of Credit Accommodation, except for the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined pursuant to a final,
non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of
this Section 2.2(f) shall survive the payment of Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement.

             (g) In connection with Inventory purchased pursuant to Letter of
Credit Accommodations, Borrowers and Guarantors shall, at Agent's request,
instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses or
others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in
which Agent holds a security interest to deliver them to Agent and/or subject to
Agent's order, and if they shall come into such Borrower's or Guarantor's
possession, to deliver them, upon Agent's request, to Agent in their original
form. Borrowers and Guarantors shall also, at Agent's request, designate Agent
as the consignee on all bills of lading and other negotiable and non-negotiable
documents.

             (h) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs any issuer of a Letter of Credit Accommodation to name such Borrower or
Guarantor as the account party therein and to deliver to Agent all instruments,
documents and other writings and property received by issuer pursuant to the
Letter of Credit Accommodations and to accept and rely upon Agent's

                                       35

<PAGE>

instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection
with the Letter of Credit Accommodations or the applications therefor. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant any Borrower or Guarantor
any right or authority to pledge the credit of Agent or any Lender in any
manner. Agent and Lenders shall have no liability of any kind with respect to
any Letter of Credit Accommodation provided by an issuer other than Agent or any
Lender unless Agent has duly executed and delivered to such issuer the
application or a guarantee or indemnification in writing with respect to such
Letter of Credit Accommodation. Borrowers and Guarantors shall be bound by any
reasonable interpretation made in good faith by Agent, or any other issuer or
correspondent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodation or
any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such
interpretation may be inconsistent with any instructions of any Borrower or
Guarantor; provided, that, the foregoing shall not be deemed to release Agent or
any issuer from any liability as a result of the failure of such issuer to
follow any reasonable instructions of any Borrower or Guarantor given in
accordance with the terms hereof in connection with any application for a Letter
of Credit Accommodation or a guarantee or indemnification provided by the Agent
constituting a Letter of Credit Accommodation at the request of such Borrower or
Guarantor or to the extent such instructions are consistent with the
interpretation made by Agent or issuer or correspondent.

             (i) At any time, so long as no Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing, a Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of a
Borrower) may, with Agent's consent, (i) grant any extensions of the maturity
of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or
documents, and (ii) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions,
modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any
of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or documents, drafts or
acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in the Collateral;
provided, that, Borrowers may approve or resolve any questions of non-compliance
of documents following notice to Agent thereof and without Agent's consent
except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(j) below.

             (j) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, Agent shall have the right and authority to, and Borrowers and
Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent, (i) approve or
resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents, (ii) give any instructions
as to acceptance or rejection of any documents or goods, (iii) execute any and
all applications for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery
orders, (iv) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payments for, or
time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or documents, and (v) agree to
any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of
any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit
Accommodations, or documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder. Agent may take
such actions either in its own name or in any Borrower's name.

             (k) Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or
undertaken by any Borrower or Guarantor to any issuer or correspondent in any
application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement in
favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit

                                       36

<PAGE>

Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been granted or undertaken by such
Borrower or Guarantor to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Any duties or
obligations undertaken by Agent to any issuer or correspondent in any
application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement by
Agent in favor of any issuer or correspondent to the extent relating to any
Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been undertaken by
Borrowers and Guarantors to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders and to
apply in all respects to Borrowers and Guarantors.

             (l) Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of any Letter of
Credit Accommodation, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation
(including, without limitation, all Obligations with respect thereto).

             (m) Each Borrower is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated,
without presentment, demand or protest, to pay to Agent any amounts paid by an
issuer of a Letter of Credit Accommodation with respect to such Letter of Credit
Accommodation (whether through the borrowing of Loans in accordance with Section
2.2(a) or otherwise). In the event that any Borrower fails to pay Agent on the
date of any payment under a Letter of Credit Accommodation in an amount equal to
the amount of such payment, Agent (to the extent it has actual notice thereof)
shall promptly notify each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such payment and
each Lender agrees, upon one (1) Business Day's notice, to fund to Agent the
purchase of its participation in such Letter of Credit Accommodation in an
amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the unpaid amount. The obligation of each
Lender to deliver to Agent an amount equal to its respective participation
pursuant to the foregoing sentence is absolute and unconditional and such
remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuance of any
Event of Default, the failure to satisfy any other condition set forth in
Section 4 or any other event or circumstance. If such amount is not made
available by a Lender when due, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount
on demand from such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal
Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York or at Agent's option based on the arithmetic mean determined by
Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged
prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading
brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if
such amounts are not paid within three (3) days, at the highest Interest Rate
provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Prime Rate Loans.

         2.3 Commitments. The aggregate amount of each Lender's Pro Rata Share
of the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations shall not exceed the amount of
such Lender's Commitment, as the same may from time to time be amended in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

                                       37

SECTION 3. INTEREST AND FEES

         3.1 Interest.

             (a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders,
interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans at the Interest Rate.
All interest accruing hereunder on and after the date of any Event of Default or
termination hereof shall be payable on demand.

             (b) Each Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower)
may from time to time request Eurodollar Rate Loans or may request that Prime
Rate Loans be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or that any existing Eurodollar
Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request from a
Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower) shall specify the amount
of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of the Prime Rate Loans to be
converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to
be continued (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to
be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, three (3) Business Days after receipt by Agent of such a
request from a Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower), such
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to
Eurodollar Rate Loans or such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall continue, as the case
may be, provided, that, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have
occurred and be continuing, (ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of
termination of this Agreement, such Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of
such Borrower) shall have complied with such customary procedures as are
established by Agent and specified by Agent to Borrower Agent from time to time
for requests by Borrowers for Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iii) no more than seven
(7) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, (iv) the aggregate amount
of the Eurodollar Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (v) Agent and each Lender
shall have determined that the Interest Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is
available to Agent and such Lender and can be readily determined as of the date
of the request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by such Borrower. Any request by or
on behalf of a Borrower for Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Prime Rate Loans
to Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent
and Lenders shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in
the London interbank market or other applicable Eurodollar Rate market to fund
any Eurodollar Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as
if Agent and Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar Rate
Loans.

             (c) Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime
Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Agent has
received and approved a request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan at least
three (3) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms
hereof. Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, at Agent's option, upon notice by Agent
to Borrower Agent, be subsequently converted to Prime Rate Loans in the event
that this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed. Borrowers shall pay to
Agent, for the benefit of

                                       38

<PAGE>

Lenders, upon demand by Agent (or Agent may, at its option, charge any loan
account of any Borrower) any amounts required to compensate any Lender or
Participant for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or
expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of Eurodollar
Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.

             (d) Interest shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent, for the
account of Lenders, monthly in arrears not later than the first day of each
calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty
(360) day year and actual days elapsed. The interest rate on non-contingent
Obligations (other than Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall increase or decrease by an
amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the
first day of the month after any change in such Prime Rate is announced based on
the Prime Rate in effect on the last day of the month in which any such change
occurs. In no event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrowers to
Agent and Lenders exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any
applicable law or regulation, and if any such part or provision of this
Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or
provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto.

         3.2 Fees.

             (a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders
monthly an unused line fee at a rate equal to the percentage (on a per annum
basis) set forth below calculated upon the amount by which $45,000,000 as then
in effect exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Loans
and Letter of Credit Accommodations during the immediately preceding month (or
part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as
any Obligations are outstanding. Such fee shall be payable on the first day of
each month in arrears. The percentage used for determining the unused line fee
shall be one-quarter (1/4%) percent, provided, that, effective as of the first
(1/st/) day of the second month of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the
fiscal quarter ending on January 31, 2003), the percentage used for determining
the unused line fee shall be as set forth below if either (i) the sum of the
Quarterly Average Excess Availability for the immediately preceding fiscal
quarter plus the Excess Cash as of the last day of the immediately preceding
fiscal quarter is at or within the amounts indicated for such percentage or (ii)
the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal
quarter (which ratio for this purpose shall be calculated based on the four (4)
immediately preceding fiscal quarters) is at or within the levels indicated for
such percentage:

     3.3  Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans.

          (a)  If after the date hereof, either (i) any change in, or in the
interpretation of, any law or regulation is introduced, including, without
limitation, with respect to reserve requirements, applicable to Lender or any
banking or financial institution from whom any Lender borrows funds or obtains
credit (a "Funding Bank"), or (ii) a Funding Bank or any Lender complies with
any future guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority or (iii) a Funding Bank or any Lender reasonably determines that the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy,
or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof has or would have the effect
described below, or a Funding Bank or any Lender complies with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, and in the case of any
event set forth in this clause (iii), such adoption, change or compliance has or
would have the direct or indirect effect of reducing the rate of return on any
Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below
that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration the Funding Bank's or Lender's policies
with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender in good
faith to be material, and the result of any of the foregoing events described in
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) is or results in an increase in the cost to any
Lender of funding or maintaining the Loans, the Letter of Credit Accommodations
or its Commitment, then Borrowers and Guarantors shall from time to time upon
demand by Agent pay to Agent additional amounts sufficient to indemnify Lenders
against such increased cost on an after-tax basis (after taking into account
applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified). A
certificate as to the

                                       40

<PAGE>

amount of such increased cost shall be submitted to Borrower Agent by Agent and
shall be conclusive as to the amount, absent manifest error.

          (b)  If prior to the date of the request of Borrower Agent for any
Eurodollar Rate Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, Agent has received
notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans during such
Interest Period, or if prior to the first day of any Interest Period, Agent
shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and
binding upon Borrowers and Guarantors) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or Dollar deposits in
the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to which such Interest Period
is to be applicable are not generally available in the London interbank market,
Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower Agent as soon
as practicable thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to Borrower
Agent when such conditions no longer exist. If such notice is given (A) any
Eurodollar Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest
Period shall be made as Prime Rate Loans, (B) any Loans that were to have been
converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued as Prime Rate Loans and (C) each
outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the
then-current Interest Period thereof, to Prime Rate Loans. Until such notice has
been withdrawn by Agent, no further Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or
continued as such, nor shall any Borrower (or Borrower Agent on behalf of any
Borrower) have the right to convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

          (c)  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or
any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or final, non-appealable
determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or in
the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the date hereof shall
make it unlawful for Agent or any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) Agent or such Lender shall promptly
give written notice of such circumstances to Borrower Agent (which notice shall
be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (ii) the commitment
of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, continue Eurodollar Rate
Loans as such and convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
forthwith be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for
such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall then
have a commitment only to make a Prime Rate Loan when a Eurodollar Rate Loan is
requested and (iii) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Rate
Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Loans on the
respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such
Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion
of a Eurodollar Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrowers and Guarantors shall pay
to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section
3.3(d) below.

          (d)  Borrowers and Guarantors shall indemnify Agent and each Lender
and hold Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Agent or
such Lender may sustain or incur

                                       41

<PAGE>

as a consequence of (i) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion
into or extension of Eurodollar Rate Loans after such Borrower (or Borrower
Agent on behalf of such Borrower) has given a notice requesting the same in
accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement, (ii) default by any
Borrower in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan after such Borrower
has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
and (iii) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans on a day which is
not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. With respect to
Eurodollar Rate Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or extended, for the period
from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or extend
to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure
to borrow, convert or extend, the Interest Period that would have commenced on
the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for
such Eurodollar Rate Loans provided for herein over (B) the amount of interest
(as determined by such Agent or such Lender) which would have accrued to Agent
or such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable
period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. This covenant
shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Loan Agreement and the
payment of the Obligations.

     5.2  Perfection of Security Interests.

          (a) Each Borrower and Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally
authorizes Agent (or its agent) to file at any time and from time to time such
financing statements with respect to the Collateral naming Agent or its designee
as the secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor as debtor, as Agent may
require, and including any other information with respect to such Borrower or
Guarantor or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code or required pursuant to any other legislation of such jurisdiction as Agent
may determine, together with any amendment and continuations with respect
thereto, which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on,
prior to or after the date hereof. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby ratifies
and approves all financing statements (or other registrations or filings) naming
Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor, as the
case may be, as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with
respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of Agent prior to
the date hereof and ratifies and confirms the authorization of Agent to file
such financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Borrower and Guarantor
hereby authorizes Agent to adopt on behalf of such Borrower and Guarantor any
symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the
description of the collateral in any financing statement (or other registrations
or filings) naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and any Borrower
or Guarantor as debtor includes assets and properties of such Borrower or
Guarantor that do not at any time constitute

                                       46

<PAGE>

Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements or
otherwise, the filing of such financing statement (or other registrations or
filings) shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Borrower or Guarantor to
the extent of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not
render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or
otherwise affect the financing statement (or other registrations or filings) as
it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall any Borrower or Guarantor
at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or
termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or other
registrations or filings) (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto)
naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower or Guarantor as
debtor.

          (b) Each Borrower and Guarantor does not have any chattel paper
(whether tangible or electronic) or instruments as of the date hereof, except as
set forth in the Information Certificate. In the event that any Borrower or
Guarantor shall be entitled to or shall receive any chattel paper or instrument
after the date hereof, Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly notify Agent
thereof in writing. Promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of any
Borrower or Guarantor (including by any agent or representative), such Borrower
or Guarantor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent, all tangible
chattel paper and instruments that such Borrower or Guarantor has or may at any
time acquire, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly
executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify, in each case except as
Agent may otherwise agree. At Agent's option, each Borrower and Guarantor shall,
or Agent may at any time on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor, cause the
original of any such instrument or chattel paper to be conspicuously marked in a
form and manner acceptable to Agent with the following legend referring to
chattel paper or instruments as applicable: "This [chattel paper][instrument] is
subject to the security interest of Congress Financial Corporation, as Agent and
any sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance of this [chattel
paper][instrument] violates the rights of such secured party."

          (c) In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall at any time hold
or acquire an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any "transferable
record" (as such term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or in Section 16 of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), such
Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly
upon Agent's request, such Borrower or Guarantor shall take, or cause to be
taken, such actions as Agent may request to give Agent control of such
electronic chattel paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC and control of such
transferable record under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction.

          (d) Each Borrower and Guarantor does not have any deposit accounts as
of the date hereof, except as set forth in the Information Certificate.
Borrowers and Guarantors shall not, directly or indirectly, after the date
hereof open, establish or maintain any deposit account unless each of the
following conditions is satisfied: (i) Agent shall have received not less than
five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the intention of any Borrower or
Guarantor to open or establish such account which

                                       47

notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity acceptable to Agent
the name of the account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the
bank at which such account is to be opened or established, the individual at
such bank with whom such Borrower or Guarantor is dealing and the purpose of the
account, (ii) the bank where such account is opened or maintained shall be
acceptable to Agent, and (iii) on or before the opening of such deposit account,
such Borrower or Guarantor shall deliver to Agent a Deposit Account Control
Agreement with respect to such deposit account duly authorized, executed and
delivered by such Borrower or Guarantor and the bank at which such deposit
account is opened and maintained. The terms of this subsection (d) shall not
apply to deposit accounts specifically and exclusively used for payroll, payroll
taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any
Borrower's or Guarantor's salaried employees.

     (e) No Borrower or Guarantor owns or holds, directly or indirectly,
beneficially or as record owner or both, any investment property, as of the date
hereof, or have any investment account, securities account, commodity account or
other similar account with any bank or other financial institution or other
securities intermediary or commodity intermediary as of the date hereof, in each
case except as set forth in the Information Certificate.

         (i)  In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall be entitled to
or shall at any time after the date hereof hold or acquire any certificated
securities, other than certificated securities consisting of Parent's common
stock purchased by Parent for cancellation to the extent such repurchases are
permitted hereunder, such Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly endorse, assign
and deliver the same to Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or
assignment duly executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify. If any
securities, now or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or Guarantor are
uncertificated and are issued to such Borrower or Guarantor or its nominee
directly by the issuer thereof, such Borrower or Guarantor shall immediately
notify Agent thereof and shall cause the issuer to agree to comply with
instructions from Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any
Borrower or Guarantor or such nominee.

         (ii) Borrowers and Guarantors shall not, directly or indirectly, after
the date hereof open, establish or maintain any investment account, securities
account, commodity account or any other similar account (other than a deposit
account) with any securities intermediary or commodity intermediary unless each
of the following conditions is satisfied: (A) Agent shall have received not less
than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the intention of such
Borrower or Guarantor to open or establish such account which notice shall
specify in reasonable detail and specificity acceptable to Agent the name of the
account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the securities
intermediary or commodity intermediary at which such account is to be opened or
established, the individual at such intermediary with whom such Borrower or
Guarantor is dealing and the purpose of the account, (B) the securities
intermediary or commodity intermediary (as the case may be) where such account
is opened or maintained shall be acceptable to Agent, and (C) on or before the
opening of such investment account, securities account or other similar account
with a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, such Borrower or
Guarantor shall execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered to
Agent, an Investment Property Control Agreement with respect thereto duly

                                       48

<PAGE>

authorized, executed and delivered by such Borrower or Guarantor and such
securities intermediary or commodity intermediary.

     (f) Borrowers and Guarantors are not the beneficiary or otherwise entitled
to any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker's acceptance or
similar instrument as of the date hereof, except as set forth in the Information
Certificate. In the event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall be entitled to or
shall receive any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker's
acceptance or any similar instrument, whether as beneficiary thereof or
otherwise after the date hereof, such Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly
notify Agent thereof in writing. Such Borrower or Guarantor shall immediately
deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent, with respect to any such letter of
credit, banker's acceptance or similar instrument, the written agreement of the
issuer and any other nominated person obligated to make any payment in respect
thereof (including any confirming or negotiating bank), in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent, consenting to the assignment of the proceeds of the
letter of credit to Agent by such Borrower or Guarantor and agreeing to make all
payments thereon directly to Agent or as Agent may otherwise direct.

     (g) Borrowers and Guarantors do not have any commercial tort claims as of
the date hereof, except as set forth in the Information Certificate. In the
event that any Borrower or Guarantor shall at any time after the date hereof
have any commercial tort claims, such Borrower or Guarantor shall promptly
notify Agent thereof in writing, which notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for and nature of such commercial tort claim and (ii) include
the express grant by such Borrower or Guarantor to Agent of a security interest
in such commercial tort claim (and the proceeds thereof). In the event that such
notice does not include such grant of a security interest, the sending thereof
by such Borrower or Guarantor to Agent shall be deemed to constitute such grant
to Agent. Upon the sending of such notice, any commercial tort claim described
therein shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall be deemed included
therein. Without limiting the authorization of Agent provided in Section 5.2(a)
hereof or otherwise arising by the execution by such Borrower or Guarantor of
this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized from time to time and at any time to file such financing
statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower or
Guarantor as debtor, or any amendments to any financing statements, covering any
such commercial tort claim as Collateral. In addition, each Borrower and
Guarantor shall promptly upon Agent's request, execute and deliver, or cause to
be executed and delivered, to Agent such other agreements, documents and
instruments as Agent may require in connection with such commercial tort claim.

     (h) Borrowers and Guarantors do not have any goods, documents of title or
other Collateral in the custody, control or possession of a third party as of
the date hereof, except as set forth in the Information Certificate and except
for goods located in the United States in transit to a location of a Borrower or
Guarantor permitted herein in the ordinary course of business of such Borrower
or Guarantor in the possession of the carrier transporting such goods. In the
event that any goods, documents of title or other Collateral are at any time
after the date hereof in the custody, control or possession of any other person
not referred to in the Information Certificate or such carriers,

                                       49

<PAGE>

Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing.
Promptly upon Agent's request, Borrowers and Guarantors shall deliver to Agent a
Collateral Access Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by such
person and the Borrower or Guarantor that is the owner of such Collateral.

         (i) Borrowers and Guarantors shall take any other actions reasonably
requested by Agent from time to time to cause the attachment, perfection and
first priority of, and the ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of
Agent in any and all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (i)
executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and
amendments relating thereto under the UCC or other applicable law, to the
extent, if any, that any Borrower's or Guarantor's signature thereon is required
therefor, (ii) causing Agent's name to be noted as secured party on any
certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to
attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce, the
security interest of Agent in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any
provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States (or Canada
or any province thereof) as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision
is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to
enforce, the security interest of Agent in such Collateral, (iv) obtaining the
consents and approvals of any Governmental Authority or third party, including,
without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person
obligated on Collateral, and taking all actions required by any earlier versions
of the UCC or by other law, as applicable in any relevant jurisdiction.

SECTION 6. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION

     6.1 Borrowers' Loan Accounts. Agent shall maintain one or more loan
account(s) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) all Loans, Letter of
Credit Accommodations and other Obligations and the Collateral, (b) all payments
made by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor and (c) all other appropriate
debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including fees, charges,
costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the loan account(s) shall be made
in accordance with Agent's customary practices as in effect from time to time.

     6.2 Statements. Agent shall render to Borrower Agent each month a statement
setting forth the balance in the Borrowers' loan account(s) maintained by Agent
for Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal,
interest, fees, costs and expenses. Each such statement shall be subject to
subsequent adjustment by Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions,
be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrowers and Guarantors and
conclusively binding upon Borrowers and Guarantors as an account stated except
to the extent that Agent receives a written notice from Borrower Agent of any
specific exceptions of Borrower Agent thereto within thirty (30) days after the
date such statement has been received by Parent. Until such time as Agent shall
have rendered to Borrower Agent a written statement as provided above, the
balance in any Borrower's loan account(s) shall be presumptive evidence of the
amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by Borrowers and Guarantors.

                                       50

<PAGE>

     6.3  Collection of Accounts.

          (a)  Borrowers and Guarantors shall establish and maintain, at their
expense, blocked accounts or lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either
case, "Blocked Accounts"), as Agent may specify, with such banks as are
acceptable to Agent into which Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly deposit
and direct their respective account debtors to directly remit all payments on
Receivables and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other
Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by
cash, check or other manner. Borrowers and Guarantors shall deliver, or cause to
be delivered to Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly authorized,
executed and delivered by each bank where a Blocked Account is maintained as
provided in Section 5.2 hereof or at any time. Agent shall instruct the
depository banks at which the Blocked Accounts are maintained to transfer the
funds on deposit in the Blocked Accounts to such operating bank account of
Parent or Borrowers as Borrower Agent may specify in writing to Agent until such
time as Agent shall notify the depository bank otherwise. Without limiting any
other rights or remedies of Agent or Lenders, Agent may, at its option, instruct
the depository banks at which the Blocked Accounts are maintained to transfer
all available funds received or deposited into the Blocked Accounts to the Agent
Payment Account at any time that either: (i) an Event of Default shall exist or
have occurred and be continuing, or (ii) Excess Availability is less than
$20,000,000. Agent shall send to Borrower Agent a copy of any such written
instruction sent by Agent to the depository bank promptly thereafter. In the
event that at any time after Agent has instructed such depository banks to
transfer such funds to the Agent Payment Account, each of the conditions set
forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above do not exist or have not occurred and are
not continuing for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days, upon Borrower
Agent's written request received by Agent within five (5) Business Days after
the end of such thirty (30) day period, Agent shall instruct such depository
banks to transfer the funds on deposit in such accounts to such operating
deposit account of Parent or a Borrower as Borrower Agent may specify in writing
to Agent until such time as Agent is entitled to notify and shall notify the
depository bank otherwise as provided above. Borrowers and Guarantors agree that
all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected
by Agent or any Lender, whether in respect of the Receivables, as proceeds of
Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be treated as payments to Agent
and Lenders in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the
property of Agent and Lenders to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations.

          (b)  For purposes of calculating the amount of the Loans available to
each Borrower, such payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection)
to the Obligations on the Business Day of receipt by Agent of immediately
available funds in the Agent Payment Account provided such payments and notice
thereof are received in accordance with Agent's usual and customary practices as
in effect from time to time and within sufficient time to credit such Borrower's
loan account on such day, and if not, then on the next Business Day.

          (c)  Each Borrower and Guarantor and their respective directors,
employees, agents, Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall, acting as trustee for
Agent, receive, as the property of Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or
any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other

                                       51

<PAGE>

Collateral which come into their possession or under their control and
immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be
deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be
remitted, in kind, to Agent. In no event shall the same be commingled with any
Borrower's or Guarantor's own funds. Borrowers agree to reimburse Agent on
demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked Account or
any other deposit account is established or any other bank or person involved in
the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Agent's
payments to or indemnification of such bank or person. The obligations of
Borrowers to reimburse Agent for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

     6.4  Payments.

          (a)  All Obligations shall be payable to the Agent Payment Account as
provided in Section 6.3 or such other place as Agent may designate from time to
time. Agent shall apply payments received or collected from any Borrower or
Guarantor or for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor (including the
monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) as
follows: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due
to Agent and Lenders from any Borrower or Guarantor; second, to pay interest due
in respect of any Loans (and including any Special Agent Advances); third, to
pay principal in respect of Special Agent Advances; fourth, to pay principal in
respect of the Loans and to pay or prepay Obligations arising under or pursuant
to any Interest Rate Protection Agreements of a Borrower or Guarantor with an
Affiliate of Agent (up to the amount of any then effective Reserve established
in respect of such Obligations), on a pro rata basis; fifth, to pay or prepay
any other Obligations whether or not then due, in such order and manner as Agent
determines or to be held as cash collateral in connection with any Letter of
Credit Accommodations or other contingent Obligations (but not including for
this purpose any Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Interest Rate
Protection Agreements) and sixth, to pay or prepay any Obligations arising under
or pursuant to Interest Rate Protection Agreements (other than to the extent
provided for above) on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) unless so directed by Borrower Agent,
or unless a Default or an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be
continuing, Agent shall not apply any payments which it receives to any
Eurodollar Rate Loans, except (A) on the expiration date of the Interest Period
applicable to any such Eurodollar Rate Loans or (B) in the event that there are
no outstanding Prime Rate Loans, provided, that, notwithstanding that there are
no Prime Rate Loans outstanding, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall
exist or have occurred and be continuing, unless Borrower Agent shall direct
that such payments be applied to the Eurodollar Rate Loans, Agent shall not
apply such payments to Eurodollar Rate Loans but shall in such circumstances
hold such funds as cash collateral up to $5,000,000 before applying such
payments to the Eurodollar Rate Loans and only apply any payments thereafter to
the Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) to the extent any Borrower uses any proceeds
of the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to acquire rights in or the use
of any Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the
use of any Collateral, payments in respect of the Obligations shall be deemed
applied first to the Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit
Accommodations that were not used for such purposes and second to the
Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit

                                       52

<PAGE>

Accommodations the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use
of any Collateral in the chronological order in which such Borrower acquired
such rights in or the use of such Collateral. Such cash collateral shall
constitute part of the Collateral. Such cash collateral shall be held by Agent
in an account designated by Agent for such purposes in its books and records and
may be commingled with Agent's own funds. Borrowers shall receive a credit on a
monthly basis to their loan accounts maintained by Agent on the funds so held by
Agent at a rate equal to three and one-half (3 1/2%) percent per annum less than
the Prime Rate (adjusted effective on the first day of the month after any
change in such Prime Rate is announced based on the Prime Rate in effect on the
last day of the month in which any such change occurs) as calculated by Agent.
So long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be
continuing and the aggregate amount of the Excess Availability of Borrowers is
more than $1.00 after giving effect thereto, amounts received by Agent from
Borrowers pursuant to the foregoing which are not applied to the Obligations or
are not held as cash collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.4
shall, upon the request of Borrower Agent received by Agent be remitted to
Borrower Agent or as Borrower Agent may direct in accordance with the terms
hereof.

     (b) At Agent's option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and
other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements
may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of any Borrower maintained by
Agent.

     (c) Any and all payments by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor
hereunder and under any other Financing Agreement shall be made, in accordance
with Section 6.4 hereof, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
Taxes, excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of any Lender (or
any transferee or assignee of such Lender, including any Participant, any such
transferee or assignee being referred to as a "Transferee") and (ii) franchise
or similar taxes imposed on or determined by reference to the net income of any
Lender (or Transferee), in each case by the United States of America or by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender (or Transferee) (A) is
organized or any political subdivision thereof or (B) has its applicable lending
office located. In addition, Borrowers agree to pay to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

     (d) If any Borrower or Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct or
withhold in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder to Agent or any Lender, then:

         (i)  the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such
Lender (or Agent on behalf of such Lender) receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

         (ii) such Borrower or Guarantor shall make such deductions and
withholdings;

                                       53

<PAGE>

             (iii) such Borrower or Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law; and

             (iv)  to the extent not paid to Agent and Lenders pursuant to
clause (i) above, such Borrower or Guarantor shall also pay to Agent or any
Lender, at the time interest is paid, all additional amounts which Agent or any
Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would
have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

         (e) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by any
Borrower or Guarantor of Taxes or Other Taxes, upon Agent's request, such
Borrower or Guarantor shall furnish to Agent the original or a certified copy of
a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment reasonably
satisfactory to Agent.

         (f) Borrowers will indemnify Agent and each Lender (or Transferee) for
the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by Agent or such Lender (or
Transferee, as the case may be). If Agent or such Lender (or Transferee)
receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which Lender (or
Transferee) has received payment from any Borrower or Guarantor hereunder, so
long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be
continuing, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) shall credit to the loan
account of Borrowers the amount of such refund plus any interest received (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
Borrowers or Guarantors under this Section 6.4 with respect to the Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund). If a Lender (or any Transferee) claims
a tax credit in respect of any Taxes for which it has been indemnified by
Borrowers or Guarantors pursuant to this Section 6.4, such Lender will apply the
amount of the actual dollar benefit received by such Lender as a result thereof,
as reasonably calculated by Lender and net of all expenses related thereto, to
the Loans. If Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, Agent
or such Lender shall, upon Borrower Agent's request and at Borrowers' expense,
provide such documents to Borrower Agent in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to both Borrower Agent and Agent, as Borrower Agent may reasonably
request, to enable Borrowers to contest such Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to
appropriate proceedings then available to such Borrower (so long as providing
such documents shall not, in the good faith determination of Agent, have a
reasonable likelihood of resulting in any liability of Agent or any Lender).

         (g) If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral
applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, Agent or any Lender is
required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any
reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or
proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by
Agent or such Lender. Borrowers and Guarantors shall be liable to pay to Agent,
and do hereby indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless for the amount of
any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.4(b) shall
remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Agent
or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 6.4 shall
survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

                                       54

<PAGE>

     6.5  Authorization to Make Loans.

          (a) Agent and Lenders are authorized to make the Loans and provide the
Letter of Credit Accommodations based upon telephonic or other instructions
received from anyone purporting to be an officer of Borrower Agent or any
Borrower or other authorized person or, at the discretion of Agent, if such
Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All requests for Loans or Letter
of Credit Accommodations hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested
advance is to be made or Letter of Credit Accommodations established (which day
shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Loan. Requests received
after 11:00 a.m. Miami time on any day shall be deemed to have been made as of
the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. All Loans and
Letter of Credit Accommodations under this Agreement shall be conclusively
presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, any
Borrower or Guarantor when deposited to the credit of any Borrower or Guarantor
or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of any
Borrower or Guarantor or in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

          (b) Borrower Agent or any Borrower may from time to time request that
proceeds of Loans be disbursed directly to the deposit accounts of any
Guarantor. Any such proceeds of Loans disbursed to PEI Licensing or Jantzen
Apparel, as the case may be, shall first be deemed payments by Borrowers to PEI
Licensing or Jantzen Apparel, as the case may be, in respect of the obligations
of such Borrower to such persons in connection with the Intellectual Property
owned by such persons licensed to Borrowers. Agent and Lenders are authorized to
so disburse proceeds of the Loans. Agent may from time to time, at its option,
transfer such of the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations (or Reserves
related thereto) in the loan account of a Borrower to the loan account of the
other Borrower, so that any Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations maintained
in the loan account of the one Borrower in excess of the Borrowing Base of such
Borrower shall be deemed Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to the other
Borrower.

     6.6  Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the initial proceeds of the Loans
provided by Agent to Borrowers hereunder only for: (a) payments to each of the
persons listed in the disbursement direction letter furnished by Borrowers to
Agent on or about the date hereof and (b) costs, expenses and fees in connection
with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the other Financing Agreements. All other Loans made or Letter of Credit
Accommodations provided to or for the benefit of any Borrower or Guarantor
pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by such Borrower or Guarantor
only for general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes
of such Borrower or Guarantor not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof
(including for the funding of certain acquisitions permitted hereunder). None of
the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying any margin security (other than open-market repurchases of the
common stock of Parent for cancellation) or for the purposes of reducing or
retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any
margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to
be considered a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended.

     6.7  Appointment of Borrower Agent as Agent for Requesting Loans and
Receipts of Loans and Statements.

          (a) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints and
constitutes Borrower Agent as its agent to request and receive Loans and Letter
of Credit Accommodations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements from Agent or any Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower.
Agent and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank account of Borrower Agent
or a Borrower or Guarantor (including bank accounts of PEI Licensing or Jantzen
Apparel with proceeds of Loans for application to the obligations of Borrowers
to PEI Licensing or Jantzen Apparel in respect of royalties payable to them for
Intellectual Property licensed by PEI Licensing or Jantzen Apparel to Borrowers)
or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower and provide such Letter of Credit
Accommodations to a Borrower as Borrower Agent may designate or direct, without
notice to any other Borrower or Obligor. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require
that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an
operating account of such Borrower.

          (b) Borrower Agent hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act
as the agent of Borrowers and Guarantors pursuant to this Section 6.7.

          (c) Each Borrower and other Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints and
constitutes Borrower Agent as its agent to receive statements on account and all
other notices from Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or
otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements.

          (d) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or
undertaking by or on behalf of any other Borrower or any Guarantor by Borrower
Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower or
Guarantor, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against
such Borrower or Guarantor to the same extent as if made directly by such
Borrower or Guarantor.

          (e) No purported termination of the appointment of Borrower Agent as
agent as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) days' prior written
notice to Agent.

     6.8  Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this
Agreement: (a) the making and conversion of Loans shall be made among the
Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Loans and (b) each
payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of
the Lenders in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be
allocated among the Lenders entitled to such payments based on their respective
Pro Rata Shares and shall be distributed accordingly.

     6.9  Sharing of Payments, Etc.

                                       56

<PAGE>

         (a) Each Borrower and Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and
without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim Agent
or any Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option
(but subject, as among Agent and Lenders, to the provisions of Section 12.3(b)
hereof), to offset balances held by it for the account of such Borrower or
Guarantor at any of its offices, in dollars or in any other currency, against
any principal of or interest on any Loans owed to such Lender or any other
amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless
of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower or Guarantor), in which
case it shall promptly notify Borrower Agent and Agent thereof; provided, that,
such Lender's failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

         (b) If any Lender (including Agent) shall obtain from any Borrower or
Guarantor payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or
payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any of the other Financing
Agreements through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or
counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Agent as provided
herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more
than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Loans or more than its share of
such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by any Borrower or Guarantor
to such Lender than the percentage thereof received by any other Lender, it
shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the amount of such
excess and simultaneously purchase from such other Lenders a participation in
the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or
such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such
other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all
Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that
may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment)
in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by
Lenders. To such end all Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among
themselves (by the resale of participation sold or otherwise) if such payment is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

         (c) Each Borrower and Guarantor agrees that any Lender purchasing a
participation (or direct interest) as provided in this Section may exercise, in
a manner consistent with this Section, all rights of setoff, banker's lien,
counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be)
owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

         (d) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any
right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaims or similar rights or shall affect
the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any
such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower
or Guarantor. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this
Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such
rights to Agent for the benefit of Lenders and, in any event, exercise its
rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights
of Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery
on such secured claim.

     6.10 Settlement Procedures.

         (a) In order to administer the Credit Facility in an efficient manner
and to minimize the transfer of funds between Agent and Lenders, Agent may, at
its option, subject to the terms of this Section, make available, on behalf of
Lenders, the full amount of the Loans requested or charged to any Borrower's
loan account(s) or otherwise to be advanced by Lenders pursuant to the terms
hereof, without requirement of prior notice to Lenders of the proposed Loans.

         (b) With respect to all Loans made by Agent on behalf of Lenders as
provided in this Section, the amount of each Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
outstanding Loans shall be computed weekly, and shall be adjusted upward or
downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Loans as of 5:00 p.m.
Miami time on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement
computation; provided, that, Agent retains the absolute right at any time or
from time to time to make the above described adjustments at intervals more
frequent than weekly, but in no event more than twice in any week. Agent shall
deliver to each of the Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser
period or periods as Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of
outstanding Loans for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being
hereinafter referred to as a "Settlement Period"). If the summary statement is
sent by Agent and received by a Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. Miami time, then such
Lender shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section by no later
than 3:00 p.m. Miami time on the same Business Day and if received by a Lender
after 12:00 p.m. Miami time, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer
by not later than 3:00 p.m. Miami time on the next Business Day following the
date of receipt. If, as of the end of any Settlement Period, the amount of a
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans is more than such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the outstanding Loans as of the end of the previous Settlement
Period, then such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time
set forth in the preceding sentence) transfer to Agent by wire transfer in
immediately available funds the amount of the increase. Alternatively, if the
amount of a Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans in any Settlement
Period is less than the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
outstanding Loans for the previous Settlement Period, Agent shall forthwith
transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the
amount of the decrease. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such
funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and
without recourse to or warranty by Agent. Agent and each Lender agrees to mark
its books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times
the dollar amount of its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans and Letter of
Credit Accommodations. Each Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on
its Pro Rata Share of the Loans to the extent such Loans have been funded by
such Lender. Because the Agent on behalf of Lenders may be advancing and/or may
be repaid Loans prior to the time when Lenders will actually advance and/or be
repaid such Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by Agent in
accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each
Lender and the Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are
so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers
or actually settled with the applicable Lender as described in this Section.

                                       58

<PAGE>

         (c) To the extent that Agent has made any such amounts available and
the settlement described above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of
any Loans by a Borrower, Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to any
amounts made available by Agent pursuant to this Section. In lieu of weekly or
more frequent settlements, Agent may, at its option, at any time require each
Lender to provide Agent with immediately available funds representing its Pro
Rata Share of each Loan, prior to Agent's disbursement of such Loan to Borrower.
In such event, all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders
simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender in the other Lender's obligation
to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be
increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in the
other Lender's obligation to make a Loan hereunder.

         (d) If Agent is not funding a particular Loan to a Borrower (or
Borrower Agent for the benefit of such Borrower or any Guarantor) pursuant to
this Section on any day, Agent may assume that each Lender will make available
to Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan requested or otherwise made on
such day and Agent may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, cause
a corresponding amount to be made available to or for the benefit of such
Borrower on such day. If Agent makes such corresponding amount available to a
Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Agent by
such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the
date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the
Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent's option based on the arithmetic mean
determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal
funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of
the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City
selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of
Agent's demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof
applicable to Prime Rate Loans. During the period in which such Lender has not
paid such corresponding amount to Agent, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements,
the amount so advanced by Agent to or for the benefit of any Borrower shall, for
all purposes hereof, be a Loan made by Agent for its own account. Upon any such
failure by a Lender to pay Agent, Agent shall promptly thereafter notify
Borrower Agent of such failure and Borrowers shall pay such corresponding amount
to Agent for its own account within five (5) Business Days of Borrower Agent's
receipt of such notice. A Lender who fails to pay Agent its Pro Rata Share of
any Loans made available by the Agent on such Lender's behalf, or any Lender who
fails to pay any other amount owing by it to Agent, is a "Defaulting Lender".
Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments
received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender's benefit, nor shall a Defaulting
Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any
principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall
instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion,
relend to a Borrower the amount of all such payments received or retained by it
for the account of such Defaulting Lender. For purposes of voting or consenting
to matters with respect to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and
determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a
"Lender" and such

                                       59

<PAGE>

Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). This Section shall remain
effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until such default is cured. The
operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect
the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by any
Borrower or Obligor of their duties and obligations hereunder.

          (e)  Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement or the
other Financing Agreements shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on
behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in
fulfilling its Commitment.

     6.11 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders' Rights. The
obligation of each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender hereunder.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and
no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to
constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or
any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each
Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and subject to Section 12.3
hereof, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising
out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be
joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL REPORTING AND COVENANTS

     7.1  Collateral Reporting.

          (a)  Borrowers shall provide Agent with the following documents in a
form satisfactory to Agent:

               (i)  as soon as possible after the end of each week (but in any

Availability of Borrowers is less than $20,000,000 or a Default or Event of
Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, a summary report of the
value of inventory by location, sales made, collections received and credit
memos issued for such period and any Factor Receivables, together with such
supporting documentation and detail with respect thereto, as Agent may
reasonably request;

               (ii) as soon as possible after the end of each month (but in any
event within twenty-five (25) days after the end thereof), on a monthly basis or
more frequently as Agent may request at any time that the aggregate amount of
the Excess Availability of Borrowers is less than $20,000,000 or a Default or
Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, a borrowing
base certificate (as defined below) setting forth the calculation of the
Borrowing Base of each Borrower as of the last

                                       60

<PAGE>

Business Day of the immediately preceding period as to the Accounts and
Inventory duly completed and executed by the chief financial officer, treasurer,
controller or other senior financial officer of Borrower Agent, togther with
such supporting documentation and detail with respect thereto, as Agent may
reasonably request;

               (iii) as soon as possible after the end of each month (but in any
event within twenty-five (25) days after the end thereof), on a monthly basis or

the Excess Availability of Borrowers is less than $20,000,000 or a Default or
Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, (A) perpetual
inventory reports, (B) inventory reports by location and category (and including
the amounts of Eligible Inventory and the value thereof at any leased locations
and at premises of warehouses or other third parties (or if any Inventory that

leased location or third party location, then including such Inventory and the
value thereof in such report) and specifically the Inventory purchased with the
Letter of Credit Facilities or otherwise constituting Letter of Credit Issuer
Priority Collateral and including the amounts of Inventory using Intellectual
Property that is licensed by Borrowers other than from PEI Licensing or Jantzen
Apparel or otherwise not owned by them), (C) agings of accounts receivable
(together with a reconciliation to the previous month's aging and general
ledger), (D) agings of accounts payable (and including information indicating
the amounts owing to owners and lessors of leased premises, warehouses,
processors and other third parties from time to time in possession of any
Collateral and amounts due to licensors or other owners of Intellectual Property
used by any Borrower or Guarantor, other than to PEI Licensing or Jantzen
Apparel), and (E) the undrawn amounts under letters of credit issued under the
Letter of Credit Facilities, identified by Letter of Credit Issuer;

               (iv)  upon Agent's reasonable request, such reasonable samples of
the following as Agent may specify: (A) copies of customer statements and credit
memos, remittance advices and reports, and copies of deposit slips and bank

purchase orders, invoices and delivery documents for Inventory and Equipment
acquired by any Borrower or Guarantor;

               (v)   such other reports as to the Collateral as Agent shall
reasonably request from time to time.

          (b)  Nothing contained in any borrowing base certificate shall be
deemed to limit, impair or otherwise affect the rights of Agent contained herein
and in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the calculation of the
Borrowing Base as set forth in any borrowing base certificate and as determined
by Agent in good faith, the determination of Agent shall govern and be
conclusive and binding upon Borrowers and Guarantors. Without limiting the
foregoing, Borrowers shall furnish to Agent any information which Agent may
reasonably request regarding the determination and calculation of any of the
amounts set forth in any borrowing base certificate. The term "borrowing base
certificate" used in this Section 7.1 shall mean a certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit C hereto, as such form may from time to time be reasonably
modified by Agent which is duly completed (including all

                                       61

<PAGE>

schedules thereto) and executed by the chief financial officer, treasurer,
controller or other senior financial officer of Borrower Agent and delivered to
Agent.

          (c)  If any Borrower's or Guarantor's records or reports of the
Collateral are prepared or maintained by an accounting service, contractor,
shipper or other agent, such Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably
authorizes such service, contractor, shipper or agent to deliver such records,
reports, and related documents to Agent and to follow Agent's instructions with
respect to further services at any time that an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing.

     7.2  Accounts Covenants.

          (a)  Borrowers shall notify Agent promptly of: (i) any material delay
in any Borrower's performance of any of its material obligations to any material
account debtor or the assertion of any material claims, offsets, defenses or
counterclaims by any material account debtor, or any material disputes with
material account debtors or any Factor, or any settlement, adjustment or
compromise thereof, (ii) all material adverse information known to any Borrower
or Guarantor relating to the financial condition of any material account debtor
and (iii) any event or circumstance which, to any Borrower's or Guarantor's
knowledge, would cause Agent to consider any then existing Accounts as no longer
constituting Eligible Accounts or Eligible Factor Receivables. No credit,
discount, allowance or extension or agreement for any of the foregoing shall be
granted to any account debtor without Agent's consent, except in the ordinary
course of a Borrower's or Guarantor's business in accordance with its current
practices and policies as of the date hereof and as set forth in the schedules
delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) or 7.1(a)(ii) above. So long as
no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers and
Guarantors shall settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or
dispute with any account debtor. At any time that an Event of Default exists or
has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall, at its option, have the exclusive
right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute
with account debtors or grant any credits, discounts or allowances.

          (b)  With respect to each Account: (i) the amounts shown on any
invoice delivered to Agent or schedule thereof delivered to Agent shall be true
and complete, (ii) no payments shall be made thereon except payments immediately
delivered to Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) no credit,

Section 7.1(a)(i) or 7.1(a)(ii) above, (iv) there shall be no setoffs,
deductions, contras, defenses, counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted
with respect thereto except as reported to Agent in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, (v) none of the transactions giving rise thereto will violate
any applicable foreign, Federal, State or local laws or regulations, all
documentation relating thereto will be legally sufficient under such laws and
regulations and all such documentation will be legally enforceable in accordance
with its terms.

                                       62

<PAGE>

             (c)  Agent shall have the right at any time or times, in Agent's
name or in the name of a nominee of Agent, in a manner substantially consistent
with the current customary practices of Agent, to verify the validity, amount or
any other matter relating to any Receivables or other Collateral, by mail,
telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise.

(b) Borrowers and Guarantors shall conduct a physical count of the Inventory,
either through periodic cycle counts or otherwise so that all Inventory is
subject to such counts at least once each year but at any time or times as Agent

physical inventory (whether pursuant to a cycle count or otherwise) shall supply
Agent with a report in the form and with such reasonable specificity as may be
satisfactory to Agent concerning the results of such count; (c) Borrowers and
Guarantors shall not remove any Inventory from the locations set forth or
permitted herein, without the prior written consent of Agent, except for sales
of Inventory in the ordinary course of its business and except to move Inventory
directly from one location set forth or permitted herein to another such
location and except for Inventory shipped from the manufacturer thereof to such
Borrower or Guarantor which is in transit to the locations set forth or
permitted herein; (d) upon Agent's request, Borrowers shall, at their expense,
no more than one (1) time in any twelve (12) month period (or if at any time the
aggregate amount of the Excess Availability of Borrowers is less than
$20,000,000, then two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period), but at any
time or times as Agent may request on or after an Event of Default or at any
time as Agent may request at its expense (for the account of Lenders), deliver
or cause to be delivered to Agent written appraisals as to the Inventory in
form, scope and methodology reasonably acceptable to Agent and by an appraiser
reasonably acceptable to Agent, addressed to Agent and Lenders and upon which
Agent and Lenders are expressly permitted to rely; (e) Borrowers and Guarantors
shall produce, use, store and maintain the Inventory with reasonable care and

in good and marketable condition; and (j) Borrowers and Guarantors shall not,
without prior written notice to Agent or the specific identification of such
Inventory in a report with respect thereto provided by Borrower Agent to Agent
pursuant to Section 7.1(a) hereof, acquire or accept any Inventory on
consignment or approval.

         7.4 Equipment and Real Property Covenants. With respect to the
Equipment and Real Property: (a) Borrowers and Guarantors shall keep the
Equipment in good order, repair, running and

                                       63

<PAGE>

marketable condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted); (b) Borrowers and

         7.5 Power of Attorney. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints Agent (and all persons designated by Agent) as such
Borrower's and Guarantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes
Agent, in such Borrower's, Guarantor's or Agent's name, to: (a) at any time an
Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing (i) demand payment on
Receivables or other Collateral, (ii) enforce payment of Receivables by legal
proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of such Borrower's or Guarantor's
rights and remedies to collect any Receivable or other Collateral, (iv) sell or
assign any Receivable upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times
as the Agent deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew an
Account, (vi) discharge and release any Receivable, (vii) prepare, file and sign

do all acts and things which are necessary, in Agent's determination, to fulfill
such Borrower's or Guarantor's obligations under this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements and (b) at all times that Agent has exercised its right to
instruct the depository banks at which Blocked Accounts are maintained to
transfer funds to the Agent Payment Account as provided in Section 6.3 hereto
(or at any time that any item of payment referred to below may be received by
Agent or any Lender), to (i) take control in any manner of any item of payment
in respect of Receivables or constituting Collateral or otherwise received in or

Receivables or constituting Collateral or otherwise received by Agent and any
Lender and deposit the same in Agent's account for application to the
Obligations, and (c) at any time to (i) endorse such Borrower's or Guarantor's
name upon any of the following that may then be in the possession or control of
Agent (or its affiliates) or any Lender: chattel paper, document, instrument,
invoice, or similar document or agreement relating to any

                                       64

<PAGE>

Receivable or any goods pertaining thereto or any other Collateral, including
any warehouse or other receipts, or bills of lading and other negotiable or
non-negotiable documents, (ii) clear Inventory the purchase of which was
financed with Letter of Credit Accommodations through U.S. Customs or foreign

powers of attorney in such Borrower's or Guarantor's name for such purpose, and

this power of attorney and in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or
commission, except as a result of Agent's or any Lender's own gross negligence
or wilful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a
court of competent jurisdiction.

         7.6 Right to Cure. Agent may, at its option, upon notice to Borrower
Agent, (a) cure any default by any Borrower or Guarantor under any material
agreement with a third party that adversely affects Collateral in any material
respect having a value of more than $2,000,000, its value or the ability of
Agent to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or adversely
affects in any material respect the rights and remedies of Agent or any Lender
therein or the ability of any Borrower or Guarantor to perform its obligations
hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements, (b) pay or bond on
appeal any judgment entered against any Borrower or Guarantor, (c) discharge
taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or

Lenders with respect thereto. Agent may add any amounts so expended to the
Obligations and charge any Borrower's account therefor, such amounts to be
repayable by Borrowers on demand. Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation
to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to
have assumed any obligation or liability of any Borrower or Guarantor. Any
payment made or other action taken by Agent or any Lender under this Section
shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder
and to proceed accordingly.

         7.7 Access to Premises. From time to time as reasonably requested by
Agent, at the cost and expense of Borrowers, (a) Agent or its designee shall
have complete access to all of each Borrower's and Guarantor's premises during
normal business hours and after notice to Borrower Agent, or at any time and

and is continuing, for the purposes of inspecting, verifying and auditing the
Collateral and all of each Borrower's and Guarantor's books and records,
including the Records, and (b) each Borrower and Guarantor shall promptly
furnish to Agent such copies of such books and records or extracts therefrom as
Agent may request, and Agent or any Lender or Agent's designee may use during
normal business hours such of any Borrower's and Guarantor's personnel,
equipment, supplies and premises as may be

                                       65

<PAGE>

reasonably necessary for the foregoing and if an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing for the collection of Receivables and realization of
other Collateral.

SECTION 8.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Agent and
Lenders the following (which shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement), the truth and accuracy of which are a continuing condition of the
making of Loans and providing Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrowers:

         8.1   Corporate Existence, Power and Authority. Each Borrower and
Guarantor is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized and in
good standing under the laws of its state, province or other jurisdiction of
organization and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability
company, as applicable, and in good standing in all states or other
jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the business transacted by it or
the ownership of assets makes such qualification necessary, except for those
jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
other Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereunder and
thereunder (a) are all within each Borrower's and Guarantor's corporate or
limited liability company powers, (b) have been duly authorized, (c) are not in
contravention of law or the terms of any Borrower's or Guarantor's certificate
of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of formation, operating agreement or
other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking
to which any Borrower or Guarantor is a party or by which any Borrower or
Guarantor or its property are bound and (d) will not result in the creation or
imposition of, or require or give rise to any obligation to grant, any lien,
security interest, charge or other encumbrance upon any property of any Borrower
or Guarantor. This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to which any
Borrower or Guarantor is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations
of such Borrower and Guarantor enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms.

         8.2   Name; State of Organization; Chief Executive Office; Collateral
Locations.

               (a) The exact legal name of each Borrower and Guarantor is as set
forth on the signature page of this Agreement and in the Information
Certificate. No Borrower or Guarantor has, during the past five years, been
known by or used any other corporate or fictitious name or been a party to any
merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of
any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets outside of the ordinary
course of business, except as set forth in the Information Certificate.

               (b) Each Borrower and Guarantor is an organization of the type
and organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Information Certificate. The
Information Certificate accurately sets forth the organizational identification
number of each Borrower and Guarantor or accurately states that such

                                       66

<PAGE>

Borrower or Guarantor has none and accurately sets forth the federal employer
identification number of each Borrower and Guarantor.

               (c) The chief executive office and mailing address of each
Borrower and Guarantor and each Borrower's and Guarantor's Records concerning
Accounts are located only at the address identified as such in Schedule 8.2 to
the Information Certificate and its only other places of business and the only
other locations of Collateral, if any, are the addresses set forth in Schedule
8.2 to the Information Certificate, subject to the rights of any Borrower or
Guarantor to establish new locations in accordance with Section 9.2 below. The
Information Certificate correctly identifies any of such locations which are not
owned by a Borrower or Guarantor and sets forth the owners and/or operators
thereof.

         8.3   Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change. All financial
statements relating to any Borrower or Guarantor which have been or may
hereafter be delivered by any Borrower or Guarantor to Agent and Lenders have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as to any interim financial
statements, to the extent such statements are subject to normal year-end
adjustments and do not include any notes) and fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition and the results of operation of such Borrower
and Guarantor as at the dates and for the periods set forth therein. Except as
disclosed in any interim financial statements furnished by Borrowers and
Guarantors to Agent prior to the date of this Agreement, there has been no act,
condition or event which has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect since the date of the most recent audited financial statements of
any Borrower or Guarantor furnished by any Borrower or Guarantor to Agent prior
to the date of this Agreement.

         8.4   Priority of Liens; Title to Properties. The security interests
and liens granted to Agent under this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and security
interests in and upon the Collateral (other than the Senior Note Priority
Collateral and the Letter of Credit Issuer Priority Collateral) and valid and
perfected second priority liens and security interests in and upon the Senior
Note Priority Collateral and the Letter of Credit Issuer Priority Collateral,
subject only to the liens indicated on Schedule 8.4 to the Information
Certificate and the other liens permitted under Section 9.8 hereof. Each
Borrower and Guarantor has good and marketable fee simple title to or valid
leasehold interests in all of its Real Property and good, valid and merchantable
title to all of its other properties and assets subject to no liens, mortgages,
pledges, security interests, encumbrances or charges of any kind, except those
granted to Agent and such others as are specifically listed on Schedule 8.4 to
the Information Certificate or permitted under Section 9.8 hereof.

         8.5   Tax Returns. Each Borrower and Guarantor has filed, or caused to
be filed, in a timely manner all tax returns, reports and declarations which are
required to be filed by it. All information in such tax returns, reports and
declarations is complete and accurate in all material respects. Each Borrower
and Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or claimed
due and payable in any assessment received by it, except taxes the validity of

         10.2 Remedies.

              (a) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, Agent and Lenders shall have all rights and remedies provided in
this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the UCC and other applicable
law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to or
consent by any Borrower or Obligor, except as such notice or consent is
expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights,
remedies and powers granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder, under any of the
other Financing Agreements, the UCC or other applicable law, are cumulative, not
exclusive and enforceable, in Agent's discretion, alternatively, successively,
or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without
limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to
restrain a breach or threatened breach by any Borrower or Obligor of this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Subject to Section 12
hereof, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any
time or times, proceed directly against any Borrower or Obligor to collect the
Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.

                                       105

<PAGE>

                (b) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may, in its discretion,
and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall (i) accelerate the payment
of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Agent for itself and
the ratable benefit of Lenders (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h), all Obligations shall
automatically become immediately due and payable), (ii) terminate the
Commitments and this Agreement.

                (c) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may, in its discretion,
(i) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter
upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take
possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of
all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) require any Borrower or Obligor, at
Borrowers' expense, to assemble and make available to Agent any part or all of
the Collateral at any place and time designated by Agent, (iii) collect,
foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral,
(iv) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the
same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other
disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (v) sell, lease, transfer, assign,
deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into
contracts with respect thereto, public or private dispositions at any exchange,
broker's board, at any office of Agent or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as
Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with
the Agent having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral
at any such public disposition, all of the foregoing being free from any right
or equity of redemption of any Borrower or Obligor, which right or equity of
redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by Borrowers and Obligors
and/or (vi) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased
by Agent upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be
reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by
Agent. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days
prior notice by Agent to Borrower Agent designating the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended
disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice
thereof and Borrowers and Obligors waive any other notice. In the event Agent
institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any
Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, each Borrower and Obligor waives the
posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. At any time an Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Agent's request,
Borrowers will either, as Agent shall specify, furnish cash collateral to the
issuer to be used to secure and fund Agent's reimbursement obligations to the
issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations or furnish cash
collateral to Agent for the Letter of Credit Accommodations. Such cash
collateral shall be in the amount equal to one hundred ten (110%) percent of the
amount of the Letter of Credit Accommodations plus the amount of any fees and
expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest
expiration date of such Letter of Credit Accommodations.

                (d) At any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has
occurred and is continuing, Agent may, in its discretion, enforce the rights of
any Borrower or Obligor against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other
obligor in respect of any of the Accounts or other

                                       106

<PAGE>

Receivables. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may, in its
discretion, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, Agent shall, at such
time or times (i) notify any or all account debtors, secondary obligors or other
obligors in respect thereof that the Receivables have been assigned to Agent and
that Agent has a security interest therein and Agent may direct any or all
accounts debtors, secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of
Receivables directly to Agent, (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise,
settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon
any terms or conditions, any and all Receivables or other obligations included
in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any
secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of
the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Receivables or
such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and Agent and Lenders
shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof
nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto and (iv)
take whatever other action Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the
protection of its interests and the interests of Lenders. At any time that an
Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at Agent's request,
all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the
Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to Agent and are payable
directly and only to Agent and Borrowers and Obligors shall deliver to Agent
such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the
performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Agent may require. In the
event any account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or
has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall, upon Agent's request, hold the
returned Inventory in trust for Agent, segregate all returned Inventory from all
of its other property, dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to
Agent's instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with
respect thereto without Agent's prior written consent.

            (e)     To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Agent or
any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which
duties cannot be waived under such law), each Borrower and Guarantor
acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent or
any Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent
or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw
material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to
Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to
fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for
the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of,
(iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary
obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or
encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise
collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the
same business as any Borrower or Guarantor, for expressions of interest in
acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more
professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or
not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral
by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types
included

                                       107

<PAGE>

in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so,
or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in
wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties,
(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent or Lenders
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to
Agent or Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of
Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the
services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Each Borrower and Guarantor acknowledges that the purpose of this
Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by
Agent or any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by
Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
omissions by Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable
solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation of
the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any
rights to any Borrower or Guarantor or to impose any duties on Agent or Lenders
that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable
law in the absence of this Section.

            (f)     Subject to those terms and conditions of any applicable
License Agreement as to trademarks licensed by a Borrower or Guarantor from a
third party, for the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise the rights and
remedies hereunder, each Borrower and Obligor hereby grants to Agent, to the
extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable at any
time an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and for so long as the
same is continuing) without payment of royalty or other compensation to any
Borrower or Obligor, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the
trademarks, service-marks, trade names, business names, trade styles, designs,
logos and other source of business identifiers and other Intellectual Property
and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or
Obligor, wherever the same maybe located, including in such license reasonable
access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall limit the application of 679.4081 of the UCC or
Section 9-408 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction to the terms of any License Agreement.

            (g)     Agent may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually
received by Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of the
Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in such order
as Agent may elect, whether or not then due. Borrowers and Guarantors shall
remain liable to Agent and Lenders for the payment of any deficiency with
interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of
collection or enforcement, including attorneys' fees and expenses.

            (h)     Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default, (i) Agent and Lenders may, at Agent's option,
and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default at the direction of the Required
Lenders, Agent and Lenders shall, without notice, (A) cease making Loans or
arranging for Letter of Credit Accommodations or reduce the lending formulas or
amounts of Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations available to Borrowers
and/or (B) terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for any future
Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to be

                                       108

<PAGE>

made by Agent and Lenders to Borrowers and (ii) Agent may, at its option,
establish such Reserves as Agent determines, without limitation or restriction,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein.

       11.1 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial
Waiver.

            (a)     The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and any dispute arising out of the
relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or
otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Florida but
excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would
cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the
State of Florida.

            (b)     Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent and Lenders irrevocably consent
and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Miami-Dade
County, Florida and the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Florida, whichever Agent may elect, and waive any objection based on venue or
forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising under
this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or in any way connected
with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect
of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or the transactions
related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter
arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any
dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the courts
described above (except that Agent and Lenders shall have the right to bring any
action or proceeding against any Borrower or Guarantor or its or their property
in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Agent deems necessary or
appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its
rights against any Borrower or Guarantor or its or their property).

            (c)     Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby waives personal service
of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may
be made by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set
forth herein and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days
after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at Agent's
option, by service upon any Borrower or Guarantor (or Borrower Agent on behalf
of such Borrower or Guarantor) in any other manner provided under the rules of
any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service, such Borrower or
Guarantor shall appear in answer to such process, failing which such Borrower or
Guarantor shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Agent
against such Borrower or Guarantor for the amount of the claim and other relief
requested.

            (d)     BORROWERS, GUARANTORS, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH HEREBY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION
ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER

                                       109

<PAGE>

FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO
THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH
CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT,
EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. BORROWERS, GUARANTORS, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH HEREBY AGREES
AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE
DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR,
AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT
WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE
WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

          (e) Agent and Lenders shall not have any liability to any Borrower or
Guarantor (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered
by such Borrower or Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way
related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Agreement, or
any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is
determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on
Agent and such Lender, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any such litigation,
Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption
that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the
performance by it of the terms of this Agreement. Each Borrower and Guarantor:
(i) certifies that neither Agent, any Lender nor any representative, agent or
attorney acting for or on behalf of Agent or any Lender has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that Agent and Lenders would not, in the event of
litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this Agreement or
any of the other Financing Agreements and (ii) acknowledges that in entering
into this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, Agent and Lenders are
relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications set forth in
this Section 11.1 and elsewhere herein and therein.

     11.2 Waiver of Notices. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby expressly waives
demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with
respect to any and all instruments and chattel paper, included in or evidencing
any of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other demands and
notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the
Collateral and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein.
No notice to or demand on any Borrower or Guarantor which Agent or any Lender
may elect to give shall entitle such Borrower or Guarantor to any other or
further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

     11.3 Amendments and Waivers.

          (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Financing Agreement nor any
terms hereof or thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated unless
such amendment, waiver, discharge

                                       110

<PAGE>

or termination is in writing signed by Agent and the Required Lenders or at
Agent's option, by Agent with the authorization of the Required Lenders, and as
to amendments to any of the Financing Agreements (other than with respect to any
provision of Section 12 hereof), by any Borrower; except, that, no such
amendment, waiver, discharge or termination shall:

               (i)   reduce the interest rate or any fees or extend the time of
payment of principal, interest or any fees or reduce the principal amount of any
Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodations, in each case without the consent of
each Lender directly affected thereby,

               (ii)  increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount
thereof then in effect or provided hereunder, in each case without the consent
of the Lender directly affected thereby,

               (iii) release any Collateral (except as expressly required
hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements or applicable law and
except as permitted under Section 12.11(b) hereof), without the consent of Agent
and all of Lenders,

               (iv)  reduce any percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders, without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders,

               (v)   consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower or
Guarantor of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement, without
the consent of Agent and all of Lenders,

               (vi)  amend, modify or waive any terms of this Section 11.3
hereof, without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders, or

               (vii) increase the advance rates constituting part of the
Borrowing Base, without the consent of Agent and all of Lenders.

          (b)  Agent and Lenders shall not, by any act, delay, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its or their
rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed
as provided herein. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent
specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Agent or any Lender of any right,
power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or
waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Agent or any Lender would
otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

          (c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
11.3(a) above, in connection with any amendment, waiver, discharge or
termination, in the event that any Lender whose consent thereto is required
shall fail to consent or fail to consent in a timely manner (such Lender being
referred to herein as a "Non-Consenting Lender"), but the consent of any other
Lenders to such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that is required are
obtained, if any, then Congress shall have the right, but not the obligation, at
any time thereafter, and upon the exercise by Congress of such

                                       111

<PAGE>

right, such Non-Consenting Lender shall have the obligation, to sell, assign and
transfer to Congress or such Eligible Transferee as Congress may specify, the
Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender and all rights and interests of such
Non-Consenting Lender pursuant thereto. Congress shall provide the
Non-Consenting Lender with prior written notice of its intent to exercise its
right under this Section, which notice shall specify the date on which such
purchase and sale shall occur. Such purchase and sale shall be pursuant to the
terms of an Assignment and Acceptance (whether or not executed by the
Non-Consenting Lender), except that on the date of such purchase and sale,
Congress, or such Eligible Transferee specified by Congress, shall pay to the
Non-Consenting Lender the amount equal to: (i) the principal balance of the
Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender outstanding as of the close of business
on the Business Day immediately preceding the effective date of such purchase
and sale, plus (ii) amounts accrued and unpaid in respect of interest and fees
payable to the Non-Consenting Lender to the effective date of the purchase (but
in no event shall the Non-Consenting Lender be deemed entitled to any early
termination fee), minus (iii) the amount of the closing fee received by the
Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof or of any of the other
Financing Agreements multiplied by the fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of months remaining in the then current term of the Credit Facility and
the denominator of which is the number of months in the then current term
thereof. Such purchase and sale shall be effective on the date of the payment of
such amount to the Non-Consenting Lender and the Commitment of the
Non-Consenting Lender shall terminate on such date.

          (d)  The consent of Agent shall be required for any amendment, waiver
or consent affecting the rights or duties of Agent hereunder or under any of the
other Financing Agreements, in addition to the consent of the Lenders otherwise
required by this Section and the exercise by Agent of any of its rights
hereunder with respect to Reserves or Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory
shall not be deemed an amendment to the advance rates provided for in this
Section 11.3.

     11.4 Waiver of Counterclaims. Each Borrower and Guarantor waives all rights
to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature
(other than compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect
to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising
therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.

     11.5 Indemnification. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender, and its officers,
directors, agents, employees, advisors and counsel and their respective
Affiliates (each such person being an "Indemnitee"), harmless from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including
attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of
them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding
commenced or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any
other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of
the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or transaction
related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs,
and the fees and expenses of counsel except that Borrowers and Guarantors shall
not have any obligation under this Section 11.5 to indemnify an Indemnitee with
respect to a matter covered hereby resulting from the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of such Indemnitee as

                                       112

<PAGE>

determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction (but without limiting the obligations of Borrowers or Guarantors as
to any other Indemnitee). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay
and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it
violates any law or public policy, Borrowers and Guarantors shall pay the
maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Agent and
Lenders in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, no Borrower or Guarantor shall assert, and each
Borrower and Guarantor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or
as a result of, this Agreement, any of the other Financing Agreements or any
undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. All amounts due under this
Section shall be payable upon demand. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the
payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

         11.6 Currency Indemnity. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in
any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any of the other
Financing Agreements, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such
jurisdiction (the "Judgment Currency") any amount due under this Agreement or
under any of the other Financing Agreements in any currency other than the
Judgment Currency (the "Currency Due"), then conversion shall be made pursuant
to the Currency Exchange Convention at which Agent is able, on the relevant
date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency prevailing on the
Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. In the event that there
is a change in the rate pursuant to the Currency Exchange Convention prevailing
between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the
date of receipt by Agent of the amount due, Borrowers and Guarantors will, on
the date of receipt by Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be
entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to
ensure that the amount received by Agent on such date is the amount in the
Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
date of receipt by Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such
other of the Financing Agreements in the Currency Due. If the amount of the
Currency Due which Agent is able to purchase is less than the amount of the
Currency Due originally due to it, Borrowers and Guarantors shall indemnify and
save Agent and Lenders harmless from and against loss or damage arising as a
result of such deficiency. The indemnity contained herein shall constitute an
obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, shall give rise to a separate and
independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted
by Agent or any Lender from time to time and shall continue in full force and
effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of
an amount due under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or
under any judgment or order. The term "Currency Exchange Convention" as used
herein shall mean the procedure used by Agent to value in US Dollars (i) the
obligations or assets of Borrower or Guarantor that are originally measured in
Canadian Dollars and (ii) any other amount expressed in Canadian Dollars or any
other currency, other than US Dollars, in each case by using the spot price for
the purchase of US Dollars with Canadian Dollars (or such other currency)
provided to Agent by the Reference Bank (or such other bank as Agent may specify
for such purpose) for the immediately preceding Business Day.

SECTION 12. THE AGENT

         12.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender irrevocably
designates, appoints and authorizes Congress to act as Agent hereunder and under
the other Financing Agreements with such powers as are specifically delegated to
Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Financing Agreements,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent (a)
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement and in the other Financing Agreements, and shall not by reason of
this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement be a trustee or fiduciary for
any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any
of the other Financing Agreements, or in any certificate or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement
or any other Financing Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Financing Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or
therein or for any failure by any Borrower or any Obligor or any other Person to
perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (c) shall not be
responsible to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement or under any other document or
instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection
herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct
as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Agent may deem and treat the
payee of any note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until
the assignment thereof pursuant to an agreement (if and to the extent permitted
herein) in form and substance satisfactory to Agent shall have been delivered to
and acknowledged by Agent.

         12.2 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by
telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or
Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent
accountants and other experts selected by Agent in good faith. As to any matters
not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement,
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the
Required Lenders or all of Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such
instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding on all Lenders.

         12.3 Events of Default.

              (a)  Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or other failure of a condition
precedent to the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, unless and
until Agent has received written notice from a Lender,

                                       114

<PAGE>

or a Borrower specifying such Event of Default or any unfulfilled condition
precedent, and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default or Failure of
Condition". In the event that Agent receives such a Notice of Default or Failure
of Condition, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower
Agent. Agent shall (subject to Section 12.7) take such action with respect to
any such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent as shall be directed
by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have
received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to or by reason of such
Event of Default or failure of condition precedent, as it shall deem advisable
in the best interest of Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, and
notwithstanding the existence or occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default or any other failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 4 of this Agreement to the contrary, Agent may, but shall have
no obligation to, continue to make Loans and issue or cause to be issued Letter
of Credit Accommodations for the ratable account and risk of Lenders from time
to time if Agent believes making such Loans or issuing or causing to be issued
such Letter of Credit Accommodations is in the best interests of Lenders.

              (b)   Except with the prior written consent of Agent, no Lender
may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in respect of the Loans,
Letter of Credit Accommodations or other Obligations, as against any Borrower or
Obligor or any of the Collateral or other property of any Borrower or Obligor.

         12.4 Congress in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its
Commitment and the Loans made and Letter of Credit Accommodations issued or
caused to be issued by it (and any successor acting as Agent), so long as
Congress shall be a Lender hereunder, it shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
acting as Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context
otherwise indicates, include Congress in its individual capacity as Lender
hereunder. Congress (and any successor acting as Agent) and its Affiliates may
(without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make
investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers (and
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Agent, and
Congress and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any
Borrower or Guarantor and any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for services in
connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the
same to Lenders.

         12.5 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent
not reimbursed by Borrowers hereunder and without limiting any obligations of
Borrowers hereunder) ratably, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, for any
and all claims of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of
or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or any other documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that Agent is
obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
thereof or of any such other documents, provided, that, no Lender shall be
liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Agent as determined by a final
non-appealable judgment of

                                       115

<PAGE>

a court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the
payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.

     12.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it
has, independently and without reliance on Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis of Borrowers and Obligors and has made its own decision to enter
into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the
other Financing Agreements. Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed
as to the performance or observance by any Borrower or Obligor of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or any
other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the
properties or books of any Borrower or Obligor. Agent will use reasonable
efforts to provide Lenders with any information received by Agent from any
Borrower or Obligor which is required to be provided to Lenders hereunder or
which is reasonably requested by a Lender and with a copy of any Notice of
Default or Failure of Condition received by Agent from any Borrower or any
Lender; provided, that, Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure
to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent's own
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Except for notices, reports and
other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent
hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition or business of any Borrower or Obligor that may come into the
possession of Agent.

     12.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Agent
hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements, Agent shall in all cases be
fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it
shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their
indemnification obligations under Section 12.5 hereof against any and all
liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.

     12.8 Additional Loans. Agent shall not make any Loans or provide any Letter
of Credit Accommodations to any Borrower on behalf of Lenders intentionally and
with actual knowledge that such Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations would
cause the aggregate amount of the total outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit
Accommodations to such Borrower to exceed the Borrowing Base of such Borrower,
without the prior consent of all Lenders, except, that, Agent may make such
additional Loans or provide such additional Letter of Credit Accommodations on
behalf of Lenders, intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Loans or
Letter of Credit Accommodations will cause the total outstanding Loans and
Letter of Credit Accommodations to such Borrower to exceed the Borrowing Base of
such Borrower, as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its discretion,
provided, that: (a) the total principal amount of the additional Loans or
additional Letter of Credit Accommodations to any Borrower which Agent may make
or provide after obtaining such actual knowledge that the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans equal or exceed the Borrowing Bases of

                                       116

<PAGE>

Borrowers, plus the amount of Special Agent Advances made pursuant to Section
12.11(a)(ii) hereof then outstanding, shall not exceed the aggregate amount
equal to ten (10%) of the Maximum Credit outstanding at any time and shall not
cause the total principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit
Accommodations to exceed the Maximum Credit and (b) no such additional Revolving
Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation shall be outstanding more than ninety
(90) days after the date such additional Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit
Accommodation is made or issued (as the case may be), except as the Required
Lenders may otherwise agree. Each Lender shall be obligated to pay Agent the
amount of its Pro Rata Share of any such additional Loans or Letter of Credit
Accommodations.

     12.9 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Financing Agreements. Each
Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or
Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other
Financing Agreements and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of their
respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers
that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the
Lenders.

     12.10 Field Audit, Examination Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by
Lenders. By signing 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 and such report with respect to the Borrowing Base prepared by Agent or
prepared by Borrowers or Guarantors and provided to Agent (each field audit or
examination report and report with respect to the Borrowing Base being referred
to herein as a "Report" and collectively, "Reports");

           (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent (i) does not make
any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall
not 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 any other party performing
any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding
Borrowers and Guarantors and will rely significantly upon Borrowers' and
Guarantors' books and records, as well as on representations of Borrowers' and
Guarantors' personnel; and

           (d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its
internal use in accordance with the terms of Section 13.5 hereof, and not to
distribute or use any Report in any other manner.

     12.11 Collateral Matters.

           (a) Agent may, at its option, from time to time, at any time on or
after an Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing or upon any
other failure of a condition precedent to

                                       117

<PAGE>

the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, make such disbursements
and advances ("Special Agent Advances") which Agent, in its sole discretion, (i)
deems necessary or desirable either to preserve or protect the Collateral or any
portion thereof or (ii) to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of
repayment by Borrowers and Guarantors of the Loans and other Obligations,
provided, that, the aggregate principal amount of the Special Agent Advances
pursuant to this clause (ii), plus the then outstanding principal amount of the
additional Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations which Agent may make or
provide as set forth in Section 12.8 hereof, shall not exceed the aggregate
amount of ten (10%) percent of the Maximum Credit outstanding at any time or
(iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to any Borrower or Guarantor pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements
consisting of costs, fees and expenses and payments to any issuer of Letter of
Credit Accommodations. Special Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and
be secured by the Collateral. Special Agent Advances shall not constitute Loans
but shall otherwise constitute Obligations hereunder. Without limitation of its
obligations pursuant to Section 6.10, each Lender agrees that it shall make
available to Agent, upon Agent's demand, in immediately available funds, the
amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each such Special Agent Advance.
If such funds are not made available to Agent by such Lender, such Lender shall
be deemed a Defaulting Lender and Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds,
on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the
date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the
Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent's option based on the arithmetic mean
determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal
funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of
the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City
selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of
Agent's demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof
applicable to Prime Rate Loans.

     (b) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its
discretion to release any security interest in, mortgage or lien upon, any of
the Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and
satisfaction of all of the Obligations and delivery of cash collateral to the
extent required under Section 13.1 below, or (ii) constituting property being
sold or disposed of if Borrower Agent or any Borrower or Guarantor certifies to
Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 9.7 hereof
(and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further
inquiry), or (iii) constituting property in which any Borrower or Guarantor did
not own an interest at the time the security interest, mortgage or lien was
granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) having a value in the aggregate in
any twelve (12) month period of less than $5,000,000, or (v) if required or
permitted under the terms hereof or under the terms of any of the other
Financing Agreements, including any intercreditor agreement, or (vi) approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by all of Lenders. Except as provided above,
Agent will not release any security interest in, mortgage or lien upon, any of
the Collateral without the prior written authorization of all of Lenders. Upon
request by Agent at any time, Lenders will promptly confirm in writing Agent's
authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this
Section.

                                       118

<PAGE>

           (c) Without in any manner limiting Agent's authority to act without
any specific or further authorization or consent by the Required Lenders, each
Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent, the authority to
release Collateral conferred upon Agent under this Section. Agent shall (and is
hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be
necessary to evidence the release of the security interest, mortgage or liens
granted to Agent upon any Collateral to the extent set forth above; provided,
that, (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms
which, in Agent's opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any
obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such security
interest, mortgage or liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release
shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any
security interest, mortgage or lien upon (or obligations of any Borrower or
Guarantor in respect of) the Collateral retained by such Borrower or Guarantor.

           (d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any
other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is
owned by any Borrower or Guarantor or is cared for, protected or insured or has
been encumbered, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility
criteria applicable in respect of the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations
hereunder, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the liens
and security interests granted to Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Financing
Agreements or otherwise 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 in this Agreement or in any
of the other Financing Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in
respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent
may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent's
own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or
liability whatsoever to any other Lender.

     12.12 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints Agent and each
other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security
interests in and liens upon the Collateral of Agent in assets which, in
accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession (or
where the security interest of a secured party with possession has priority over
the security interest of another secured party) and Agent and each Lender hereby
acknowledges that it holds possession of any such Collateral for the benefit of
Agent as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such
Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent's
request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with
Agent's instructions.

     12.13 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days'
notice to Lenders and Parent. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the
Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for
Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and
Parent, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance by the Lender
so selected of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor
agent shall succeed to all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring
Agent and the term "Agent" as used herein and in the other Financing Agreements
shall mean

                                       119

<PAGE>

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 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no
successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty
(30) days after the date of a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the
retiring Agent's resignation shall nonetheless thereupon become effective and
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if
any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

SECTION 13.  TERM OF AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS

     13.1  Term.

           (a) This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall become
effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue
in full force and effect for a term ending on the date three (3) years from the
date hereof (the "Renewal Date"), and from year to year thereafter, unless
sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, that, except as Agent
and Borrower Agent may otherwise agree, in the event that the term of this
Agreement shall continue for any additional year after the date three (3) years
from the date hereof, Borrowers and Guarantors shall pay to Agent an extension
fee in the amount of one-sixth (1/6%) percent of the Maximum Credit which fee
shall be earned and payable in full on the date that is three (3) years from the
date hereof in respect of the extension for each year after the Renewal Date.
Agent may, at its option (or shall at the direction of any Lender in writing
received by Agent at least ninety (90) days prior to the Renewal Date or the
anniversary of any Renewal Date, as the case may be), terminate this Agreement
and the other Financing Agreements effective on the Renewal Date or any
anniversary of the Renewal Date in any year by giving to Borrower Agent at least
sixty (60) days prior written notice. In addition, Borrowers may terminate this
Agreement at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Agent (which
notice shall be irrevocable) and Agent may, at its option, and shall at the
direction of Required Lenders, terminate this Agreement at any time on or after
an Event of Default. Upon any effective date of termination of the Financing
Agreements (including the Renewal Date), Borrowers shall pay to Agent all
outstanding and unpaid Obligations and shall furnish cash collateral to Agent
(or at Agent's option, a letter of credit issued for the account of Borrowers
and at Borrowers' expense, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, by an
issuer acceptable to Agent and payable to Agent as beneficiary) in such amounts
as Agent determines are reasonably necessary to secure Agent and Lenders from
loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys' fees and expenses, in
connection with any contingent Obligations, including issued and outstanding
Letter of Credit Accommodations and checks or other payments provisionally
credited to the Obligations and/or as to which Agent or any Lender has not yet
received final and indefeasible payment. The amount of such cash collateral (or
letter of credit, as Agent may determine) as to any Letter of Credit
Accommodations shall be in the amount equal to one hundred ten (110%) percent of
the amount of the Letter of Credit Accommodations plus the amount of any fees
and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest
expiration date of such Letter of Credit Accommodations. Such payments in
respect of the Obligations and cash

                                       120

<PAGE>

collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in Federal funds to the Agent
Payment Account or such other bank account of Agent, as Agent may, in its
discretion, designate in writing to Borrower Agent for such purpose. Interest
shall be due until and including the next Business Day, if the amounts so paid
by Borrowers to the Agent Payment Account or other bank account designated by
Agent are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, Miami time.

           (b) No termination of this Agreement or the other Financing
Agreements shall relieve or discharge any Borrower or Guarantor of its
respective duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or the other
Financing Agreements until all Obligations have been fully and finally
discharged and paid, and Agent's continuing security interest in the Collateral
and the rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, under the other
Financing Agreements and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such
Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid. Accordingly, each
Borrower and Guarantor waives any rights it may have under the UCC to demand the
filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral and Agent shall
not be required to send such termination statements to Borrowers or Guarantors,
or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall
have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid and
satisfied in full in immediately available funds.

     13.2  Interpretative Provisions.

being cured as reasonably determined by Agent.

         (g) All references to the term "good faith" used herein when applicable
to Agent or any Lender shall mean, notwithstanding anything to the contrary

performance of their respective duties on behalf of a Borrower or Guarantor but
without requiring specific inquiries as to the applicable circumstances as to a
representation or warranty set forth herein each time such representation or
warranty is made or deemed made hereunder.

         (k) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) references herein
to any agreement, document or instrument shall be deemed to include all
subsequent amendments, modifications, supplements, extensions, renewals,
restatements or replacements with respect thereto, but only to the extent the
same are not prohibited by the terms hereof or of any other Financing Agreement,
and (ii) references to any statute or regulation are to be construed as
including all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending,
replacing, recodifying, supplementing or interpreting the statute or regulation.

         (l) The captions and headings of this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

         (m) This Agreement and other Financing Agreements may use several
different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar

<PAGE>

parties. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall
not be construed against Agent or Lenders merely because of Agent's or any
Lender's involvement in their preparation.

              (a) Agent and each Lender shall use all reasonable efforts to keep
confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling
confidential information and safe and sound lending practices, any non-public
information supplied to it by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement which is
clearly and conspicuously marked as confidential at the time such information is
furnished by such Borrower to Agent or such Lender, provided, that, nothing
contained herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information: (i) to the
extent required by statute, rule, regulation, subpoena or court order, (ii) to
bank examiners and other regulators, auditors and/or accountants, in connection
with any litigation to which Agent or such Lender is a party, (iii) to any
Lender or Participant (or prospective Lender or Participant) or to any Affiliate
of any Lender so long as such Lender or Participant (or prospective Lender or
Participant) or Affiliate shall have been instructed to treat such information
as confidential in accordance with this Section 13.5, or (iv) to counsel for
Agent or any Lender or Participant (or prospective Lender or Participant).

              (b) In the event that Agent or any Lender receives a request or
demand to disclose any confidential information pursuant to any subpoena or
court order, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees (i) to the extent
permitted by applicable law or if permitted by applicable law, to the extent
Agent or such Lender determines in good faith that it will not create any risk
of liability to Agent or such Lender, Agent or such Lender will promptly notify
Borrower Agent of such request so that Borrower Agent may seek a protective
order or other appropriate relief or remedy and (ii) if disclosure of such
information is required, disclose such information and, subject to reimbursement
by Borrowers of Agent's or such Lender's expenses, cooperate with Borrower Agent
in the reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the disclosed
information which Borrower Agent so designates, to the extent permitted by
applicable law or if permitted by applicable law, to the extent Agent or such
Lender determines in good faith that it will not create any risk of liability to
Agent or such Lender.

              (c) In no event shall this Section 13.5 or any other provision of
this Agreement, any of the other Financing Agreements or applicable law be
deemed: (i) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that has been or
is made public by any Borrower, Guarantor or any third party or otherwise
becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure
in violation hereof, (ii) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that
was or becomes available to Agent or any Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender)
on a non-confidential basis from a person other than a Borrower or Guarantor,

Borrower or Guarantor to Agent or a Lender or prevent Agent or a Lender from
responding to routine informational requests in accordance with the Code of
Ethics for the Exchange of Credit Information promulgated by The Robert Morris
Associates or other applicable industry standards relating to the exchange of
credit information. The obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Section 13.5
shall supersede and replace the obligations of Agent and Lenders under any
confidentiality letter signed prior to the date hereof.

other document referred to herein or therein shall be binding upon and inure to

<PAGE>

Borrower may not assign its rights under this Agreement, the other Financing
Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein without the
prior written consent of Agent and Lenders. Any such purported assignment
without such express prior written consent shall be void. No Lender may assign
its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of Agent, except as provided in Section 13.7 below. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are for the
purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of Borrowers,
Guarantors, Agent and Lenders with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and there shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements.

         13.7  Assignments; Participations.

                (a) Each Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent,

aggregate for the assigning Lender, of such rights and obligations under this
Agreement to one or more Eligible Transferees (but not including for this
purpose any assignments in the form of a participation), each of which assignees
shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment
and Acceptance; provided, that, (i) such transfer or assignment will not be
effective until recorded by Agent on the Register and (ii) Agent shall have
received for its sole account payment of a processing fee from the assigning
Lender or the assignee in the amount of $5,000.

                (b) Agent shall maintain a register of the names and addresses
of Lenders, their Commitments and the principal amount of their Loans (the
"Register"). Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and shall modify the Register to give effect to
each Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and any Borrowers,
Obligors, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by Borrower Agent and any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

                (c) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance,
the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the other Financing
Agreements and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to participate in
Letter of Credit Accommodations) of a Lender hereunder and thereunder and the
assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

                (d) By execution and delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance,
the assignor and 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, the assigning Lender makes no

                                       125

<PAGE>

representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or the execution, legality,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any of
the other Financing Agreements furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) the assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of any Borrower, Obligor or any of their
Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Borrower or Obligor of any
of the Obligations; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of
this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, together with such other
documents and information 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 the assigning Lender,
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action
as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the
other Financing Agreements as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and
thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and
(vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms
all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements are required to be performed by it as a Lender. Agent and
Lenders may furnish any information concerning any Borrower or Obligor in the
possession of Agent or any Lender from time to time to assignees and
Participants.

                (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements (including, without
limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it and
its participation in the Letter of Credit Accommodations, without the consent of
Agent or the other Lenders); provided, that, (i) such Lender's obligations under
this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) and the
other Financing Agreements shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, and Borrowers, Guarantors, the other Lenders and Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing
Agreements, and (iii) the Participant shall not have any rights under this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements (the Participant's rights
against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in
the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating
thereto) and all amounts payable by any Borrower or Obligor hereunder shall be
determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

                (f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any
Lender from pledging its Loans hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of
borrowings made by such Lenders from such Federal Reserve Bank.

                (g) Borrowers and Guarantors shall assist Agent or any Lender
permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 13.7 in
whatever manner reasonably necessary in order

                                       126

to enable or effect any such assignment or participation, including (but not
limited to) the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and
other documents and instruments as shall be requested and the delivery of
informational materials, appraisals or other documents for, and the
participation of relevant management in meetings and conference calls with,
potential Lenders or Participants. Borrowers shall certify the correctness,
completeness and accuracy, in all material respects, of all descriptions of
Borrowers and Guarantors and their affairs provided, prepared or reviewed by any
Borrower or Guarantor that are contained in any selling materials and all other
information provided by it and included in such materials.

         13.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements,
any supplements hereto or thereto, and any instruments or documents delivered or
to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represents the entire
agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof
between the parties hereto, and supersede all other prior agreements,
understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties,
commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter
hereof, whether oral or written. In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms of this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the terms of this
Agreement shall govern.

         13.9 Counterparts, Etc. This Agreement or any of the other Financing
Agreements may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of the
other Financing Agreements by telefacsimile shall have the same force and effect
as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of
such other Financing Agreements. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of
any such agreement by telefacsimile shall also deliver an original executed
counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity,
enforceability or binding effect of such agreement.

       WHEREAS, Congress Financial Corporation (Florida), in its capacity as
agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) acting for and on
behalf of the parties thereto as lenders (in such capacity, "Agent"), and the
parties to the Loan Agreement as lenders (individually, each a "Lender" and
collectively, "Lenders") have entered or are about to enter into financing
arrangements pursuant to which Agent and Lenders may make loans and advances and
provide other financial accommodations to Supreme International, Inc. and
Jantzen, Inc. (collectively, "Borrowers") as set forth in the Loan and Security
Agreement, dated October __, 2002, by and among Borrowers, certain of their
affiliates, Agent and Lenders (as the same now exists or may hereafter be
amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the
"Loan Agreement"), and the other agreements, documents and instruments referred
to therein or at any time executed and/or delivered in connection therewith or
related thereto (all of the foregoing, together with the Loan Agreement, as the
same now exist or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended,
renewed, restated or replaced, being collectively referred to herein as the
"Financing Agreements");

       WHEREAS, as provided under the Loan Agreement, Assignor committed to

exceed the principal amount of $___________ at any time outstanding (the

Amount") on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and
Assignee wishes to accept assignment of such rights and to assume such
obligations from Assignor on such terms and subject to such conditions;

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         3. The review described in Section 2 above did not disclose the
existence during or at the end of such fiscal month, and I have no knowledge of
the existence and continuance on the date hereof, of any condition or event

fiscal month, except as specifically described on Schedule II attached hereto or
as permitted by the Loan Agreement, done any of the following:

              (a) Changed its respective corporate name, or transacted business
                  under any trade name, style, or fictitious name, other than

                  organization or changed the location of or disposed of any of
                  its properties or assets (other than pursuant to the sale of
                  Inventory in the ordinary course of its business or as
                  otherwise permitted by Section 9.7 of the Loan Agreement), or
                  established any new asset locations.

              (c) Materially changed the terms upon which it sells goods
                  (including sales on consignment) or provides services, nor has
                  any vendor or trade supplier to any Borrower or Guarantor
                  during or at the end of such period materially adversely
                  changed the terms upon which it supplies goods to any Borrower
                  or Guarantor.

              (d) Permitted or suffered to exist any security interest in or
                  liens on any of its properties, whether real or personal,

                  Agreements.

              (e) Received any notice of, or obtained knowledge of any of the
                  following not previously disclosed to Agent: (i) the
                  occurrence of any event involving the release, spill or
