 Exhibit 10.i 
  
 AMENDMENT TO THE 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL,

 SEVERANCE AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 FOR JAMES RUDGERS 
  
 This
Amendment to the Change in Control, Severance and Employment Agreement for James Rudgers (the “Amendment”), is made this 17th day of September, 2003, between Hudson United Bancorp and Hudson United Bank (collectively, the
“Company”), a New Jersey corporation which maintains its principal office at 1000 MacArthur Boulevard, Mahwah, New Jersey, and James Rudgers (the “Executive”), and amends the Change in Control, Severance and Employment Agreement
for James Rudgers, which was made effective as of February 13, 2003 (the “Agreement”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the Executive is presently an executive officer of the Company; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company wish to amend the Agreement to clarify certain provisions therein, and to provide a
greater period of protection for the Executive under the terms of the Agreement; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for the good and valuable consideration set forth herein and the Executive’s continued employment with the Company, the Company and the Executive, each intending to be legally bound hereby, agree
as follows: 
  
 1. Paragraph 1(c) of the Agreement, relating to
the term “Contract Period,” is amended by deleting the words “one year” from subparagraph (i) thereof, and replacing them with the words “three years”. 
  
 2. Paragraph 9(c) of the Agreement, relating to “Payments and Benefits,” is amended by deleting the first sentence
thereof, and replacing it with the following: 
  
 “If the
Company terminates the Executive’s employment during the Contract Period without Cause or if the Executive resigns for Good Reason under paragraph 9(b), the Company shall, as promptly as practical but in no event later than 10 business days
after the termination of employment pay the Executive a lump sum (the “Lump Sum”) equal to 2.0 times the sum of (i) 

 
the annual salary of the Executive immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (ii) the highest bonus paid to the Executive during the three fiscal years
prior to the Change in Control. For purposes of the calculation of the bonus amount component of the Lump Sum only, Paragraph 1(b)(ii)(B), regarding the Time of the Change of Control, will be disregarded.” 
  
 3. The Company agrees that it will not treat (for tax reporting purposes or
for calculation purposes under Section 10 of the Agreement) any benefits under the Hudson United Bancorp Supplemental Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) as parachute payments under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, to
the extent that such benefits were vested and accrued prior to the occurrence of such change of control, as the SERP was not adopted in contemplation of a change of control. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be signed by its duly authorized representatives
pursuant to the authority of its Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee, and the Executive has personally executed this Agreement, all as of the day and year first above written.

 HUDSON UNITED BANCORP 
 SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT PLAN 
 PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT 
  
 AMENDMENT 
  
 This Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Hudson United Bancorp Supplemental Employees’ Retirement Plan
Participation Agreement between and Hudson United Bancorp and Kenneth T. Neilson (the “Agreement”), is made this 17th day of September, 2003, between Hudson United Bancorp (the “Company”) and Kenneth T. Neilson (the
“Executive”). The Agreement was originally effective as of October 1, 2002, and remains in full force and effect, subject only to the changes set forth herein. 
  
 WHEREAS, the Executive is presently an executive officer of the Company; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company wish to amend the Agreement to provide
for increased service credit for the Executive under the terms of the Hudson United Bancorp Supplemental Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), in exchange for the Executive’s agreeing to increase the length of the
Executive’s non-solicitation restrictions, as well as for the Executive’s agreeing to not compete with the Company for a period of time following his termination of employment; 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for the good and valuable consideration set forth herein, the Company and the Executive, each intending to
be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
  
 1. Section
4(a)(ii) of the Agreement, regarding non-solicitation of customers, is amended by deleting the term “two (2) years” and replacing it with “five (5) years”. 
  
 2. Section 4(a)(ii) of the Agreement, regarding non-solicitation of customers, is amended by deleting the last sentence
thereof. 
  
 3. Section 4(a) of the Agreement is amended by adding
the following new Section 4(a)(iii) following the end of Section 4(a)(ii): 
  
 “(iii) For two (2) years after the termination of Participant’s employment with the Employer for any reason whatsoever, the Participant hereby agrees to not, anywhere in the United States, engage in
competition 

 
with the Employer by accepting direct or indirect employment (as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, owner, partner, or otherwise) requiring the
performance of duties similar to those performed by the Participant for the Employer during the last year of his employment with any Competitor of the Employer. For this purpose, all persons and entities which are engaged in the commercial banking
business are deemed to be Competitors. The Participant hereby acknowledges that prospective employers exist in his geographical area such that employment opportunities are available to him which would not be in violation of this provision of the
Agreement. The Participant further acknowledges that this provision is reasonable in scope and does not constitute a restraint of trade with respect to his ability to obtain alternate employment in the event that his employment with the Employer is
terminated for any reason, either by himself or by the Employer.” 
  
 4. Section 3 of the Agreement is amended by adding the following after the end of the first sentence thereof. 
  
 “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan, the Participant will be credited with an additional ten (10) “Years of
Service” under the Plan for unreduced early retirement eligibility purposes, and will likewise be credited with an additional ten (10) years of “Credited Service” under the Plan for benefit accrual purposes. For the avoidance of
doubt, such additional service credit shall, in addition to increasing the amount of the benefit under the Plan, allow the Participant to satisfy the “Rule of 85” (as defined in the Pension Plan) and, as a result, any benefit payable to
the Participant under the Plan upon retirement prior to his Normal Retirement Date shall not be reduced for early retirement.” 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be signed by its duly authorized
representatives pursuant to the authority of its Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee, and the Executive has personally executed this Agreement, all as of the day and year first above written.

 Exhibit 10(k) 
  
 Board Compensation 
  
 The passage of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange have substantially increased
the amount of time required of Hudson United Bancorp directors. The responsibilities of Audit, Executive, Compensation and Nominating/Corporate Governance committees of the Board have increased significantly. Consequently, directors have been
required to devote significantly more time on Board matters, including expanded oversight of financial reporting and regulatory compliance matters, frequent consultations, and multi-day educational and planning meetings. 
  
 Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2003, the Compensation Committee recommended and the
Board adopted a revised Board Compensation structure which provides for an annual retainer of $45,000 for directors of the holding company and $30,000 for directors of the bank. In addition, the chairperson of the Audit Committee is paid an annual
retainer of $55,000 and the chairperson of other committees is paid an annual retainer of $35,000. Members of the Audit Committee are paid additional annual retainers of $40,000 and members of other committees are paid additional annual retainers of
$20,000. Board members are also paid $3,000 for each meeting, $1,500 for each committee meeting and $500 for participation in each Board meetings by conference call. Retainers and fees are only paid to outside directors. Directors receive no
reimbursement for out of pocket expenses.<PAGE>

                              - - - - - - - - - -

          WHEREAS, subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set
forth, the Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrower the credit
facilities provided for herein;

          NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

          SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.

          1.01  Commitments. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to
make a term loan (each, a "Term Loan" and, collectively, the "Term Loans") to
the Borrower, which Term Loans:

          (i)   shall be incurred by the Borrower pursuant to two drawings, with
     (x) the first such drawing to be made on the Initial Borrowing Date for the
     purposes described in Section 7.05(a)(i) and (y) the second such drawing to
     be made on the Redemption Date for the purposes described in Section
     7.05(a)(ii);

          (ii)  shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;

          (iii) except as hereafter provided, shall, at the option of the
     Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate
     Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided, that (x) except as otherwise
     specifically provided in Section 1.10(b), all Term Loans made as part of
     the same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Term Loans of the same
     Type and (y) unless the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this
     clause (y) shall no longer be applicable), each Borrowing of Term Loans to
     be maintained as Eurodollar Loans, may only have an Interest Period of one
     month with the first such Borrowing to occur no earlier than the third
     Business Day after the Initial Borrowing Date;

          (iv)  shall not exceed for any Lender, in initial principal amount for
     the Term Loans being made by such Lender on the Initial Borrowing Date,
     that amount which

<PAGE>

     equals the lesser of (x) such Lender's TL Percentage of $[70,000,000]/1/ or
     (y) the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender as in effect on the Initial
     Borrowing Date (before giving effect to any reduction thereto on such date
     pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(i)); and

          (v)   shall not exceed for any Lender, in initial principal amount for
     the Term Loans being made by such Lender on the Redemption Date, that
     amount which equals the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender as in effect on
     the Redemption Date (before giving effect to any reduction thereto on such
     date pursuant to Section 3.03(b)(i) or (ii) but after giving effect to any
     reductions thereto on or prior to such date pursuant to Section
     3.03(b)(iii)).

Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

          (b)   Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth,

the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, to
make a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a "Revolving Loan" and,
collectively, the "Revolving Loans") to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans:

          (i)   shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;

          (ii)  shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained
     as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided
     that (x) except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.10(b), all
     Revolving Loans made as part of the same Borrowing shall at all times be of
     the same Type and (y) unless the Syndication Date has occurred (at which
     time this clause (y) shall no longer be applicable), each Borrowing of
     Revolving Loans to be maintained as Eurodollar Loans, may only have an
     Interest Period of one month, with the first such Borrowing to occur no
     earlier than the third Business Day after the Initial Borrowing Date;

          (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions
     hereof;

          (iv)  shall not exceed for any Lender at any time outstanding that
     aggregate principal amount which, when added to the product of (x) such
     Lender's Adjusted RL Percentage and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount
     of all WC Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of WC Unpaid Drawings
     which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the
     incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time
     and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive
     of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and
     simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of
     Revolving Loans) then outstanding, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of
     such Lender at such time; and

          (v)   shall not exceed for all Lenders at any time outstanding that
     aggregate principal amount which, when added to (x) the aggregate amount of
     all WC Letter of

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

     Credit Outstandings (exclusive of WC Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with
     the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective
     incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and (y) the aggregate principal
     amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are
     repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the
     respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding, exceeds an
     amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect.

          (c)   Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein,
CSFB in its individual capacity agrees to make at any time and from time to time
on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date,
a revolving loan or revolving loans to the Borrower (each, a "Swingline Loan"
and, collectively, the "Swingline Loans"), which Swingline Loans:

          (i)   shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;

          (ii)  shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans;

          (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions
     hereof;

          (iv)  shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time
     outstanding, when combined with (x) the aggregate principal amount of all
     Revolving Loans made by Non-Defaulting Lenders then outstanding and (y) the
     aggregate amount of all WC Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, an
     amount equal to the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time
     (after giving effect to any changes thereto on such date); and

          (v)   shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time
     outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1.01(c), (i) CSFB shall not
be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists
unless CSFB has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to
eliminate CSFB's risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender's or Defaulting
Lenders' participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash
collateralizing such Defaulting Lender's or Defaulting Lenders' RL Percentage of
the outstanding Swingline Loans and (ii) CSFB will not make a Swingline Loan
after it has received written notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders
stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as CSFB
shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the
party or parties originally delivering the same or (y) a waiver of such Default
or Event of Default from the Required Lenders.

          (d)   On any Business Day, CSFB may, in its sole discretion, give
notice to the RL Lenders that its outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded
with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (provided that each such notice shall be
deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 10.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies
provided in the last paragraph of Section 10), in which case a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a "Mandatory
Borrowing") shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all RL
Lenders pro rata based on each RL Lender's Adjusted RL Percentage (determined
before giving effect to any

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of
Section 10), and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to repay CSFB
for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each RL Lender hereby irrevocably agrees
to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day's notice pursuant to each
Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding
sentence and on the date specified in writing by CSFB notwithstanding (i) that
the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing
Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in
Section 5 or 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory
Borrowing and (v) the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, the
Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Revolving Loan Commitment of
such RL Lender at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot
for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without
limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code with respect to the Borrower), then each RL Lender (other than CSFB) hereby
agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from CSFB (without recourse or warranty)
such assignment of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to
cause the RL Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their
respective Adjusted RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any
termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of
Section 10), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall
be for the account of CSFB until the date the respective assignment is purchased
and, to the extent attributable to the purchased assignment, shall be payable to
the RL Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase (or, if
earlier, from the date on which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have
occurred, so long as the payments required by the following clause (y) have in
fact been made) and (y) at the time any purchase of assignments pursuant to this
sentence is actually made, the purchasing RL Lender shall be required to pay
CSFB interest on the principal amount of assignment purchased for each day from
and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have
occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such assignment, at the rate
otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder
for each day thereafter.

          1.02  Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc. The aggregate principal amount
of each Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount
applicable to such Loans, provided that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in
the amounts required by Section 1.01(d). More than one Borrowing may be incurred
on any day, provided, that at no time shall there be outstanding more than nine
Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans.

          1.03  Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to make a
Borrowing of Loans hereunder (excluding Borrowings of Swingline Loans and
Mandatory Borrowings), an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent at its Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time),
at least three Business Days' prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, and at
least one Business Day's prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be made hereunder.
Each such notice (each, a "Notice of Borrowing") shall, except as otherwise
expressly provided in Section 1.10, be irrevocable, and, in the case of each
written notice and each confirmation of telephonic notice, shall be in the form
of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the respective
Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans or Revolving Loans, (iv) whether the
respective Borrowing shall consist of Base Rate Loans or, to the extent
permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the Interest
Period to be initially applicable thereto and (v) in the case of a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans the proceeds of which are to be utilized to finance, in whole or
in part, the purchase price of a Permitted Acquisition, (x) a reference to the
officer's certificate, if any, delivered in accordance with Section 8.15, (y)
the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be utilized in
connection with such Permitted Acquisition and (z) the Total Unutilized
Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect after giving effect to the respective
Permitted Acquisition (and all payments to be made in connection therewith). The
Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make
Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed
Borrowing, of such Lender's proportionate share thereof and of the other matters
required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of
Borrowing.

          (b)   (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans
hereunder, an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall give CSFB not later than
2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day such Swingline Loan is to be made, written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline
Loan to be made hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify in each case (x) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business
Day) and (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loan to be made
pursuant to such Borrowing.

          (ii)  Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice (or deemed
notice) specified in Section 1.01(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by
its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as
set forth in such Section 1.01(d).

          (c)   Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to
confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the
Administrative Agent or CSFB (in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans) or
the respective Letter of Credit Issuer (in the case of the issuance of Letters
of Credit), as the case may be, may prior to receipt of written confirmation act
without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the
Administrative Agent, CSFB or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be,
in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. In each such
case, the Administrative Agent's, CSFB's or the respective Letter of Credit
Issuer's, as the case may be, record of the terms of such telephonic notice
shall be conclusive evidence of the contents of such notice, absent manifest
error.

          1.04  Disbursement of Funds. Not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time)
on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of
Swingline Loans, not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified
in Section 1.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, not later than
12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in Section 1.01(d)), each
Lender with a Commitment under the respective Tranche will make available its
pro rata share (determined in accordance with Section 1.07), if any, of each
Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans,
CSFB shall make available the full amount thereof) in the manner provided below.
All amounts shall be made available to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars
and in immediately available funds at

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to
the Borrower at its account at the Payment Office (or to CSFB, in the case of a
Mandatory Borrowing) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type
of funds received. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by
any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to
make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or
Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such
date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such
assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so)
make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding
amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender
and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount
forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay
such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as
the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day
from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative
Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (x) if paid by such Lender,
the overnight Federal Funds Rate or (y) if paid by the Borrower, the then
applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 1.08.

          1.05  Notes. (a) The Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of,
and interest on, all the Loans made to it by each Lender shall be set forth on
the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.17
and, subject to the provisions of Section 1.05(f), shall be evidenced (i) if
Term Loans, by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with
blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a "Term Note" and,
collectively, the "Term Notes"), (ii) if Revolving Loans, by a promissory note
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith (each, a "Revolving Note" and, collectively, the "Revolving
Notes") and (iii) if Swingline Loans, by a promissory note substantially in the
form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith
(the "Swingline Note").

          (b)   The Term Note issued to each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment
and/or outstanding Term Loans shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be
payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Initial
Borrowing Date (or, in the case of any Term Note issued after the Initial
Borrowing Date, the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal
amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the Initial Borrowing
Date (or, in the case of any Term Note issued after the Initial Borrowing Date,
in a stated principal amount equal to the sum of the Term Loan Commitment and
the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan of such Lender on the date of
the issuance thereof) and be payable in the principal amount of Term Loans
evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Term Loan Maturity Date,
(v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.08 in
respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be,
evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary repayment as provided in Section
4.01 and manda-

                                      -6-

tory repayment as provided in Section 4.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits
of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

          (c)   The Revolving Note issued to each RL Lender shall (i) be
executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to such RL Lender or its registered
assigns and be dated the Initial Borrowing Date (or, in the case of any
Revolving Note issued after the Initial Borrowing Date, the date of issuance
thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Revolving Loan
Commitment of such RL Lender and be payable in the principal amount of the
outstanding Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of
Section 1.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case

          (e)   Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each
Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will prior to any
transfer of any of its Notes endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding
principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation
or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower's obligations in
respect of such Loans.

          (f)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or
elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at
any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any
Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall
affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans
(and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way
affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various
Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its
outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise
described in preceding clause (e). At any time when any Lender requests the
delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly
execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the
appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

          1.06  Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert on
any Business Day occurring on or after the Initial Borrowing Date, all or a
portion at least equal to the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount of the
outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans, which shall
at all times be maintained as Base Rate Loans) made pursuant

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans under a single Tranche
into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan under such Tranche;
provided, that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.10(b) or unless the
Borrower pays all breakage costs and other amounts owing to each Lender pursuant
to Section 1.11 concurrently with any such conversion, Eurodollar Loans may be
converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period
applicable to the Loans being converted, and no partial conversion of a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of
the Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to less than the Minimum
Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) Base Rate Loans may only be converted
into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the
date of the conversion, (iii) unless the Administrative Agent has determined
that the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this clause (iii) shall no
longer be applicable), no conversions of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans
may be made prior to the third Business Day following the Initial Borrowing Date
and (iv) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans resulting from this Section 1.06 shall
be limited in number as provided in Section 1.02. Each such conversion shall be
effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at its Notice
Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time), at least three Business Days' (or
one Business Day's in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans) prior
written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a
"Notice of Conversion/Continuation") in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately
completed specifying the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing(s) pursuant to
which the Loans were made and, if to be converted into a Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed
conversion affecting any of its Loans.

          1.07  Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Term Loans and Revolving
Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred by the Borrower from the Lenders
pro rata on the basis of such Lenders' Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan
Commitments, as the case may be; provided that all Borrowings of Revolving Loans
made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing shall be incurred from the RL Lenders pro
rata on the basis of their respective Adjusted RL Percentages. It is understood
that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its
obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to
make the Loans to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any
other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

          1.08  Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of
the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan made to it from the date of
the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of
such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, at a rate per
annum which shall at all times be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable
Margin as in effect from time to time plus the Base Rate in effect from time to
time during the period such Base Rate Loan is outstanding.

          (b)   The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from the date of the
Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration
or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar
Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, 1.09 or 1.10(b), as
applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period
applicable

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

thereto, at all times be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as
in effect from time to time plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

          (c)   To the extent permitted by law, overdue principal and overdue
interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate
borne by such Loan immediately prior to the respective payment default and (y)
the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate
Loans from time to time. Interest which accrues under this Section 1.08(c) shall
be payable on demand.

          (d)   Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any
Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be
payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each
Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on (x) the date
of any conversion into a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, 1.09 or
1.10(b), as applicable (on the amount converted) and (y) the last day of each
Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in
excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after
the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on (x)
the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof (on the amount prepaid or
repaid), (y) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (z) after
such maturity, on demand.

          (e)   All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in
accordance with Section 13.07(b).

          (f)   Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent
shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period or
Interest Periods and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all parties hereto.

          1.09  Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans. At the time the Borrower
gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of
the making of, or conversion into, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case
of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New
York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest
Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of any
subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect by
giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which
Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower (but otherwise subject to
clause (y) of the proviso to Sections 1.01(a)(iii) and 1.01(b)(ii) and to clause
(iii) of the proviso to Section 1.06), be a one, two, three, six or, to the
extent available to each Lender with outstanding Loans and/or Commitments under
the respective Tranche, nine or twelve month period. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained above:

          (i)    all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times
     have the same Interest Period;

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

          (ii)   the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar
     Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of
     any conversion from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest
     Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on
     the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto
     expires;

          (iii)  if any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans
     begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the
     calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period
     shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

          (iv)   if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is
     not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
     succeeding Business Day, provided, that if any Interest Period for any
     Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans would otherwise expire on a day which is not
     a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business
     Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
     preceding Business Day;

          (v)    no Interest Period for a Borrowing under a Tranche shall be
     selected which would extend beyond the respective Maturity Date for such
     Tranche;

          (vi)   no Interest Period may be elected at any time when a Default or
     an Event of Default is then in existence; and

          (vii)  no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term Loans
     shall be elected which extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled
     Repayment will be required to be made under Section 4.02(b) if, after
     giving effect to the election of such Interest Period, the aggregate
     principal amount of such Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will
     expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount
     of such Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such
     required Scheduled Repayment.

          If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not
permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to the respective
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have elected to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans
effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

          1.10  Increased Costs; Illegality; etc. (a) In the event that (x) in
the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined in good faith
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto):

          (i)    on any Interest Determination Date, that, by reason of any
     changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar
     market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the
     applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of
     Eurodollar Rate; or

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

          (ii)   at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or
     reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to
     any Eurodollar Loans because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in
     any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or
     request (whether or not having the force of law), or in the interpretation
     or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or
     governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (other than, in
     each case, any such change with respect to taxes or any similar charges),
     such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve
     requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under
     Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar
     Rate and/or (y) other circumstances affecting such Lender, the interbank
     Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market (other than
     circumstances relating to taxes or any similar charges); or

          (iii)  at any time since the Effective Date, that the making or
     continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by
     such Lender with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order
     (or would conflict with any governmental rule, regulation, guideline,
     request or order not having the force of law but with which such Lender
     customarily complies even though the failure to comply therewith would not
     be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency
     occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects
     the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the
case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in
writing) to the Borrower and (except in the case of clause (i)) to the
Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter, (x) in
the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available
until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative
Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans
which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be
deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the
Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent
applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such
additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method
of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion
shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a
written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in
reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, prepared in good faith
and submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be
final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto, although the failure
to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower's
obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(a) upon the
subsequent receipt of such notice) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above,
the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b) as
promptly as practicable and, in any event, within the time period required by
law.

          (b)   At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and
in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(iii), the
Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving
the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing)
thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to
Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii)), or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then
outstanding, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Administrative
Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a
Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in
Section 1.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest
Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be
required by applicable law); provided, that if more than one Lender is affected
at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this
Section 1.10(b).

          (c)   If any Lender shall have determined that after the Effective
Date,the adoption or effectiveness 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, or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
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, has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such
other corporation's capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender's
Commitment or Commitments or its obligations hereunder to the Borrower to a
level below that which such Lender or such other corporation could have achieved
but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's or such other corporation's policies with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the notice referred to
in the last sentence of this clause (c), the Borrower agrees, subject to the
provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other
corporation for such reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such
other corporation. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any
additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will give
prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower (a copy of which shall be sent by
such Lender to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts,
although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the
Borrower's obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(c)
upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. In determining any additional
amounts owing under this Section 1.10(c), each Lender will act reasonably and in
good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable;
provided that such Lender's reasonable good faith determination of compensation
owing under this Section 1.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

          1.11  Compensation. (a) The Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions
of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to compensate each Lender, promptly
upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding any loss of
anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other
than a default by such Lender or any Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from
or into, Eurodollar Loans does

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower (whether or not withdrawn by the
Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment
(including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or as a result of
an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10 or as a result of the
replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.12(b)) or conversion of
any Eurodollar Loans of the Borrower occurs on a date which is not the last day
of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any
Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment
given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the
Borrower to repay its Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this
Agreement or (y) an election made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.10(b).
Each Lender's calculation of the amount of compensation owing pursuant to this
Section 1.11 shall be made in good faith. A Lender's basis for requesting
compensation pursuant to this Section 1.11 and a Lender's calculation of the
amount thereof made in accordance with the requirements of this Section 1.11,
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties
hereto.

          The Borrower agrees to compensate the Administrative Agent, upon its
written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis
for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities
(exclusive of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(ii)) incurred by it in
connection with (i) any withdrawals from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the end of the applicable
Interest Period or scheduled investment termination date for the Credit-Linked
Deposits and (ii) the termination of the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment
(and the related termination of the investment of the funds held in the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account) prior to the end of any applicable Interest
Period or scheduled investment termination date for the Credit-Linked Deposits.

          1.12  Change of Lending Office. (a) Each Lender may at any time or
from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to
the extent not already reflected on Schedule II, one or more lending offices
(which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for
the various Loans made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender;
provided that, for designations made after the Effective Date, to the extent
such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 2.05 or
4.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation
of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective
Lender), then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased
costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other
provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs which would
apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of
the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective
designation). Each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as
provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same
manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and
similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).

          (b)   Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving
rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), 1.10(c), 2.05 or 4.04
with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to
designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

Credit affected by such event, with the object of avoiding the consequences of
the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section; provided, that such
designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer
no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Nothing in this Section 1.12
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of
any Lender provided in Section 1.10, 2.05 or 4.04 (although each such Lender
shall nevertheless have an obligation to change its applicable lending office
subject to the terms set forth in the immediately preceding sentence).

          1.13  Replacement of Lenders. On and after the Term Loan Commitment
Termination Date, (x) if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or
(iii), Section 1.10(c), Section 2.05 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender
which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in a
material amount in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders
or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been
approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower
shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), if no Default or
Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such
replacement, to replace such Lender (the "Replaced Lender") with one or more
other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute
a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the
"Replacement Lender") and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Borrower, to replace only (a) the
Revolving Loan Commitment (and outstandings pursuant thereto) of the Replaced
Lender and/or the PF Letter of Credit Commitment of the Replaced Lender with an
identical Revolving Loan Commitment and/or PF Letter of Credit Commitment
provided by the Replacement Lender or (b) in the case of a replacement as
provided in Section 13.12(b) where the consent of the respective Lender is
required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, the
Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche
where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with
identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the
Replacement Lender; provided that:

          (i)    at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.13,
     the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and
     Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees
     payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement
     Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the
     Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of
     only (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and
     outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in WC Letter of Credit
     Outstandings, (b) the PF Letter of Credit Commitment, participations in PF
     Letter of Credit Outstandings and/or (c) the outstanding Term Loans, the
     outstanding Term Loans) of, and in each case (except for the replacement of
     only the outstanding Term Loans of the respective Lender) participations in
     Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith,
     shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to
     the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued
     interest on, all outstanding Loans (or of the Loans of the respective
     Tranche being replaced) of the Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all
     WC Unpaid Drawings and/or PF Unpaid Drawings, as the case may be (unless
     there are no such WC Unpaid

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

     Drawings or PF Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced),
     that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender,
     together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time
     and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing
     to the Replaced Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in
     the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by
     the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 3.01, (y) except in the
     case of the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of a Replaced
     Lender, each Letter of Credit Issuer an amount equal to such Replaced
     Lender's RL Percentage and/or PF Percentage, as the case may be, of any
     Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of
     Credit Issuer (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent
     such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in
     the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, CSFB an amount
     equal to such Replaced Lender's Adjusted RL Percentage of any Mandatory
     Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such
     Replaced Lender; and

          (ii)   all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced
     Lender (other than those (a) specifically described in clause (i) above in
     respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently
     being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 1.11 or
     (b) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective
     Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the
     respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender
     concurrently with such replacement.

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement by the
respective Replacement Lender (but not the Replaced Lender, whose signature
thereto shall not be required to render the same effective for purposes of this
Agreement), the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above,
the recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 13.17 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender,
delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by
the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and,
unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans
and/or a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to
constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05,
4.04, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y)
except in the case of the replacement of only outstanding Term Loans, the
Adjusted RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such
time to give effect to such replacement.

          SECTION 2.  Letters of Credit.

          2.01  Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth, the Borrower may request a Letter of Credit Issuer
at any time and from time to time after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to
the tenth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letters of Credit)
preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a request for a WC
Letter of Credit) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a request for a
PF Letter of Credit) to issue on a sight basis, (x) for the account of the
Borrower and for the benefit of any holder (or any trustee, agent or other
similar representative for any such holders) of L/C

                                      -15-

Supportable Indebtedness, irrevocable sight standby letters of credit in a form
customarily used by such Letter of Credit Issuer or in such other form as has
been approved by such Letter of Credit Issuer (each such standby letter of
credit, a "Standby Letter of Credit") in support of such L/C Supportable
Indebtedness and (y) for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of
sellers of goods and materials to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the
ordinary course of business, irrevocable sight trade letters of credit in a form
customarily used by such Letter of Credit Issuer or in such other form as has
been approved by such Letter of Credit Issuer (each such trade letter of credit,
a "Trade Letter of Credit," and each such Standby Letter of Credit and Trade
Letter of Credit, a "Letter of Credit" and, collectively, the "Letters of
Credit"). For purposes hereof, Letters of Credit shall at all times and from
time to time be deemed to be PF Letters of Credit in the amount specified in the
definition of PF Letters of Credit and be deemed to be WC Letters of Credit only
to the extent, and in an amount by which, the aggregate Letter of Credit
Outstandings exceed such amount specified in the definition of PF Letters of
Credit.

          (b)   Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby agrees that it will, at any time and from
time to time after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the tenth Business
Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letters of Credit) preceding the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a request for a WC Letter of
Credit) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a request for a PF Letter
of Credit), following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request,
issue for the account of the Borrower one or more Letters of Credit, (x) in the
case of Trade Letters of Credit, in support of trade obligations of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries that arise in the ordinary course of business or (y)
in the case of Standby Letters of Credit, in support of such L/C Supportable
Indebtedness as is permitted to remain outstanding hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue
any Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance:

          (i)    any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or
     arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Letter of
     Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law
     applicable to such Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive
     (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority
     with jurisdiction over such Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or
     request that such Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of
     letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall
     impose upon such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of
     Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such
     Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the
     Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
     applicable, in effect or known to such Letter of Credit Issuer as of the
     Effective Date and which such Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems
     material to it; or

          (ii)   such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received written notice
     from the Borrower or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such
     Letter of Credit of the type described in clause (vii) of Section 2.01(c)
     or the last sentence of Section 2.02(b).

          (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no WC Letter of Credit shall
be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the WC Letter of Credit
Outstandings (exclusive of WC Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of,
and prior to the issuance of, the respective

                                      -16-

WC Letter of Credit) at such time, would exceed either (x) $50,000,000 or (y)
when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by the
Non-Defaulting Lenders and then outstanding and all Swingline Loans then
outstanding, the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time; (ii) no
PF Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to
the PF Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of PF Unpaid Drawings which are
repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective PF Letter of
Credit) would exceed either (x) the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment at such
time or (y) the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits in the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account at such time; (iii) (x) each Standby Letter of
Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not later than one year after such
Standby Letter of Credit's date of issuance, provided that any such Standby
Letter of Credit may be extendable for successive periods of up to one year, but
not beyond the tenth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in
the case of a WC Letter of Credit) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case
of a PF Letter of Credit), on terms acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer
and (y) each Trade Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not
later than 180 days after such Trade Letter of Credit's date of issuance; (iv)
(x) no Standby Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring later than
the tenth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in the case
of a WC Letter of Credit) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a PF
Letter of Credit) and (y) no Trade Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date
occurring later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in the
case of a WC Letter of Credit) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of a
PF Letter of Credit); (v) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in U.S.
Dollars; (vi) the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than
$100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Letter of
Credit Issuer; (vii) no WC Letter of Credit may be issued unless the PF Letter
of Credit Outstandings equal the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as then in
effect; and (viii) no Letter of Credit Issuer will issue any Letter of Credit
after it has received written notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders
stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as such
Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission
of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering the same or (y) a
waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.

          (d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Lender Default
exists with respect to an RL Lender or a PF Lender, no Letter of Credit Issuer
shall be required to issue any WC Letter of Credit or PF Letter of Credit, as
the case may be, unless the respective Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into
arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Letter of
Credit Issuer's risk with respect to the participation in WC Letters of Credit
or PF Letters of Credit, as the case may be, of the Defaulting Lender or
Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender's
or Lenders' Adjusted RL Percentage or PF Percentage, as the case may be, of the
respective Letter of Credit Outstandings; provided, however, that a Defaulting
Lender's PF Percentage of the PF Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not be
required to so cash collateralized, so long as the aggregate amount of
Credit-Linked Deposits at such time exceeds the aggregate PF Letter of Credit
Outstandings at such time.

          (e)   Schedule XIII hereto contains a description of all letters of
credit issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement for the account of the
Borrower and outstanding on the Initial Borrowing Date (and setting forth, with
respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii)
the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s) of the account party or account
parties, (iv) the stated amount, (v) the name of the beneficiary, (vi) the
expiry date

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

and (vii) whether such letter of credit constitutes a standby letter of credit
or a trade letter of credit). Each such letter of credit, including any
extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance
with the terms hereof and thereof, an "Existing Letter of Credit") shall
constitute a "Letter of Credit" for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for
purposes of Section 2.03(a), on the Initial Borrowing Date. In addition, each
Existing Letter of Credit designated as a "Standby Letter of Credit" or "Trade
Letter of Credit" on Schedule XIII shall constitute a "Standby Letter of Credit"
or "Trade Letter of Credit", as the case may be, for all purposes of this
Agreement. Any Lender hereunder which has issued an Existing Letter of Credit
shall constitute a "Letter of Credit Issuer" for all purposes of this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents.

          2.02  Letter of Credit Requests. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires
that a Letter of Credit be issued, the Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent and the respective Letter of Credit Issuer written notice thereof prior to
12:00 Noon (New York time) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period
as may be acceptable to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the
proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day) which written notice
shall be in the form of Exhibit C (each, a "Letter of Credit Request"). Each
Letter of Credit Request shall include any other documents as such Letter of
Credit Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith.

          (b)   The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to
be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may
be issued in accordance with, and it will not violate the requirements of,
Section 2.01(c). Unless the respective Letter of Credit Issuer has received
notice from the Borrower, any Agent or the Required Lenders before it issues a
Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 5 or 6, as the case may be, are not then satisfied, or that the issuance
of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.01(c), then such Letter of
Credit Issuer may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the
Borrower in accordance with such Letter of Credit Issuer's usual and customary
practice.

          2.03  Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the
issuance by a Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, such Letter of
Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other RL
Lender or PF Lender, as the case may be, and each such RL Lender or PF Lender
(in its capacity under this Section 2.03, a "Participant") shall be deemed
irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter
of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation, to the extent of such Participant's Adjusted RL Percentage or PF
Percentage, as the case may be, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute Letter
of Credit, each drawing made thereunder (each, a "Drawing") and the obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto (although WC Letter of
Credit Fees shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the RL Lenders as provided in Section 3.01(c), the PF Facility Fee
and the interest referred to in Section 2.04(b)(ii) shall be payable directly to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the PF Lenders as provided in
Sections 3.01(d) and 2.04(b)(ii), respectively, and the Participants shall have
no right to receive any portion of any Facing Fees or any administrative fees
referred to in Section 3.01(f)) with respect to such Letters of Credit and any
security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the
Revolving Loan Commitments or the Adjusted RL Percentages of the RL Lenders or
the PF Letter of Credit Commitments or the PF

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

Percentages of the PF Lenders, in each case pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04(b)
or as a result of a Lender Default, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to
all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings with respect thereto,
there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this
Section 2.03 to reflect the new Adjusted RL Percentages or PF Percentages of the
assignor and assignee RL Lender or PF Lender, as the case may be.

          (b)   In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no
Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any obligation relative to the Participants
other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such
Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to substantially
comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action
taken or omitted to be taken by any Letter of Credit Issuer under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it if taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), shall not create
for such Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

          (c)   (i) Any payment made by a Letter of Credit Issuer under any
Letter of Credit issued by it shall be deemed to have been drawn first under PF
Letters of Credit for so long as there are any undrawn PF Letters of Credit and
thereafter shall be deemed to be drawn under WC Letters of Credit.

          (ii)   In the event that any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment
under any WC Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have
reimbursed such amount in full to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.04(a), such Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Participant of such failure, and each such Participant shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter
of Credit Issuer, the amount of such Participant's Adjusted RL Percentage of
such payment in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent
so notifies any Participant required to fund a payment under a WC Letter of
Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Participant
shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the
account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer such Participant's Adjusted RL
Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds
(and, to the extent such notice is given after 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any
Business Day, such Participant shall make such payment on the immediately
following Business Day). If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so
made its Adjusted RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer,
such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand such amount, together with
interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at
the overnight Federal Funds Rate; provided that if any Participant does not make
available to the Administrative Agent any amounts required to be made available
by it as described above within 2 Business Days after the respective Participant
has been notified by the Administrative Agent or the respective Letter of Credit
Issuer to make such amounts available, then the respective Participant shall pay
interest on the amounts demanded of it at the same rates payable from time to
time by the Borrower on the respective Unpaid Drawings pursuant to Section
2.04(a). The failure of any Participant to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer its Adjusted RL

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

Percentage of any payment under any WC Letter of Credit issued by it shall not
relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its
applicable Adjusted RL Percentage of any payment under any such WC Letter of
Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer such other
Participant's Adjusted RL Percentage of any such payment.

          (iii)  In the event that a Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment
under any PF Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have
reimbursed such amount in full to such Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.04(a), each PF Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent to reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer for such amount solely from such
PF Lender's PF Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the
Administrative Agent in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account.

          (d)   Whenever any Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment of a
reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for
the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the Participants
pursuant to clause (c) above, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each
Participant which has paid its Adjusted RL Percentage thereof or PF Percentage
thereof, as the case may be, in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds, an amount
equal to such Participant's Adjusted RL Percentage or PF Percentage, as the case
may be, of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the
purchase of the respective participations (it being understood and agreed that
any such payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) to a Participant
which is a PF Lender shall be made by such Letter of Credit Issuer to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such PF Lender and for deposit in the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account).

          (e)   Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, promptly after each issuance
of, or amendment or modification to, a Standby Letter of Credit issued by it,
give the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice of the issuance
of, or amendment or modification to, such Standby Letter of Credit, which notice
shall be accompanied by a copy of the Standby Letter of Credit or Standby
Letters of Credit issued by it and each such amendment or modification thereto.
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Participant, in writing, of such issuance, amendment or modification and, if any
Participant shall so request, the Administrative Agent shall furnish said
Participant with a copy of such Standby Letter of Credit, such amendment or such
modification, as the case may be.

          (f)   Each Letter of Credit Issuer (other than CSFB) shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent, promptly on the first Business Day of each week, by
facsimile transmission, the aggregate daily Stated Amount available to be drawn
under the outstanding Trade Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit
Issuer for the previous week. The Administrative Agent shall, within 10 days
after the last Business Day of each calendar month, deliver to each Participant
a report setting forth for such preceding calendar month the aggregate daily
Stated Amount available to be drawn under all outstanding Trade Letters of
Credit during such calendar month.

<PAGE>

          (g)   The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer
with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not
subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or
exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without
limitation, any of the following circumstances:

          (i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
     of the other Credit Documents;

          (ii)   the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right
     which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against
     a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of
     Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any
     Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person,
     whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the
     transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including
     any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
     and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

          (iii)  any draft, certificate or other document presented under the
     Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
     in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
     respect;

          (iv)   the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance
     or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

          (v)    the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

          2.04  Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) (i) Except as
contemplated by Section 2.03(c)(iii), and subject to Sections 2.04(b) and
3.01(g), the Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer,
by making payment to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars and in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by
such Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such
amount so paid or disbursed until reimbursed by the Borrower, an "Unpaid
Drawing") immediately after, and in any event on the date of (or, if not
notified by the respective Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York
time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, on the Business Day
following), such payment or disbursement, with interest on the amount so paid or
disbursed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to
2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and
including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such Letter
of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the
then Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans plus
the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time (plus an additional 2% per
annum if not reimbursed by the third Business Day after the date of such payment
or disbursement), such interest also to be payable on demand; provided, that it
is understood and agreed, however, that the notices referred to above in this
clause (a) shall not be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default
under such Section 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case
the Unpaid Drawings shall be due and

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind
(all of which are hereby waived by each Credit Party) and shall bear interest at
a rate per annum which shall be (x) until the third Business Day following the
respective Drawing, the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base
Rate Loans plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time, and (y) at
all times on and after the third Business Day following the respective Drawing,
the rate per annum specified in preceding clause (x) plus 2%. Each Letter of
Credit Issuer shall provide the Borrower prompt notice of any payment or
disbursement made by it under any Letter of Credit issued by it, although the
failure of, or delay in, giving any such notice shall not release, impair or
diminish the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.04(a)(i) or under
any other Section of this Agreement.

          (ii)   If any Drawing under a PF Letter of Credit that has been funded
by the PF Lenders from the Credit-Linked Deposits as provided in Section
2.03(c)(iii) shall be reimbursed by the Borrower on a day other than on the last
day of an Interest Period or scheduled investment termination date applicable to
the Credit-Linked Deposits, the Administrative Agent shall invest the amount so
reimbursed in overnight or short-term cash equivalent investments until the end
of the Interest Period or scheduled investment termination date at the time in
effect and the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the last day of
such Interest Period or the scheduled investment termination date, the amount,
if any, by which the interest accrued on a like amount of the Credit-Linked
Deposits at the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect therefor shall
exceed the interest earned through the investment of the amount so reimbursed
for the period from the date of such reimbursement through the end of the
applicable Interest Period, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good
faith (such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all parties hereto) and set forth in the request for payment
delivered to the Borrower. In the event that the Borrower shall fail to pay any
amount due under this Section 2.04(a)(ii), the interest payable by the
Administrative Agent to the PF Lenders on their Credit-Linked Deposits under
Section 2.06 shall be correspondingly reduced and the PF Lenders shall without
further act succeed, ratably in accordance with their PF Percentages, to the
rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to such amount due from the
Borrower. In the event that the interest earned through the investment of the
amount so reimbursed for the period from the date of such reimbursement through
the end of the applicable Interest Period (as determined by the Administrative
Agent in good faith) exceeds the interest which would accrue on a like amount of
the Credit-Link Deposits at the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for
such period then, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, the
Administrative Agent shall return such excess to the Borrower promptly following
the last day of such Interest Period.

          (b)   (i) In the event that the Credit-Linked Deposit Account is
charged by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(iii) to
reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for any payment made by it
under a PF Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed by the Borrower in cash
pursuant to Section 2.04(a), the Borrower shall have the right, but not the
obligation (other than as provided in Section 4.02(a)(iii)), prior to the Term
Loan Maturity Date, to pay to the Administrative Agent in reimbursement thereof
an amount equal to the amount so charged for deposit in the Credit-Linked
Deposit Account, and such payment by the Borrower shall correspondingly reduce
or satisfy, as applicable, the Borrower's reimbursement obligations pursuant to
such Section 2.04(a) and Section 4.02(j), if any. To the extent that the
Borrower elects not to repay any PF Unpaid Drawing pursuant to Section 2.04(a)
at the time the respective

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

Drawing under the PF Letter of Credit occurs, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent thereof in writing at such time.

          (ii)   The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable account of each PF Lender, interest with respect to any PF Letter of
Credit which is reimbursed from funds in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and
which have not been reimbursed by the Borrower, equal to the amount that such PF
Lender would have received under Section 2.06(b) calculated for the relevant
period for which payment is required to be made less amounts already received
pursuant to Section 2.06(b) by such PF Lender for such relevant period. Interest
accrued under this Section 2.04(b)(ii) shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date on which all PF Unpaid
Drawings have been paid in full by the Borrower.

          (c)   The Borrower's obligation under this Section 2.04 to reimburse
the respective Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to drawings on Letters of
Credit (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment which Holdings, the Borrower or any of their
respective Subsidiaries may have or have had against such Letter of Credit
Issuer, any Agent or any Lender or other Person, including, without limitation,
any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit
issued by it to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such
drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to
reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such
Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of
acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the
part of such Letter of Credit Issuer as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision; provided, further, that any
reimbursement made by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim it
may have against such Letter of Credit Issuer as a result of acts or omissions
constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter
of Credit Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
and non-appealable decision).

          2.05  Increased Costs. If after the Effective Date, any Letter of
Credit Issuer or any Participant determines that the adoption or effectiveness
of any applicable law, rule or regulation, order, guideline or request 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, or compliance by any Letter of Credit
Issuer or any Participant with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall
either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital
adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such Letter
of Credit Issuer or such Participant's participation therein, or (ii) impose on
any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant any other conditions directly or
indirectly affecting this Agreement, the Credit-Linked Deposits, any Letter of
Credit or such Participant's participation therein; and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such
Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in the Credit-linked
Deposits or any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant hereunder or
reduce the rate of return on its capital (other than any increased costs or
reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or any similar charges)
with respect to the Credit0linked Deposits or Letters of Credit, then, upon
written demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such
Participant (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit
Issuer or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the
certificate described in the last sentence of this Section 2.05, the Borrower
agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable),
to pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such
Participant for such increased cost or reduction. Any Letter of Credit Issuer or
any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable
pursuant to this Section 2.05, will give prompt written notice thereof to the
Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by
such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant, as the case may be (a copy of
which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such
Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant as aforesaid and
such certificate, if delivered in good faith, shall be final and conclusive and
binding on the Borrower absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver
any such certificate shall not release or diminish the Borrower's obligations to
pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.05 upon subsequent receipt of
such certificate.

          2.06  Credit-Linked Deposit Account. (a) On the Initial Borrowing Date
and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Sections 5 and 6, each PF Lender on such date shall pay to the Administrative
Agent such PF Lender's Credit-Linked Deposit. The Credit-Linked Deposits shall
be held by the Administrative Agent in (or credited to) the Credit-Linked
Deposit Account, and no Person other than the Administrative Agent shall have a
right of withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any other right or
power with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposits. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the funding obligation of each PF Lender in respect of
its Participation in PF Letters of Credit shall be satisfied in full upon the
funding of its Credit-Linked Deposit.

          (b)   Each of the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer
and each PF Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) each PF Lender is
funding its Credit-Linked Deposit to the Administrative Agent for application in
the manner contemplated by Section 2.03, (ii) the Administrative Agent may
invest the Credit-Linked Deposits in such investments as may be determined from
time to time by the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) and
(iii) the Administrative Agent has agreed to pay to each PF Lender a return on
its Credit-Linked Deposits (except (x) during periods when such Credit-Linked
Deposits are used to reimburse a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to
Drawings on PF Letters of Credit or (y) as otherwise provided in Sections
2.04(a)(ii) and 2.06(d)) equal at any time to the LIBOR Rate for the Interest
Period in effect for the Credit-Linked Deposits at such time less the
Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount at such time. Such interest will be paid to
the PF Lenders by the Administrative Agent at the LIBOR Rate for an Interest
Period of three months (or at an amount determined in accordance with Section
2.04(a)(ii) or 2.06(d), as applicable) in arrears on the last day of each
Interest Period applicable to the Credit-Linked Deposits.

          (c)   The Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account or the Credit-Linked Deposits and no obligations
with respect thereto (except to refund portions thereof used to reimburse a
Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

Drawings on PF Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.03), it being
acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the funding of the
Credit-Linked Deposits by the PF Lenders and the application of the
Credit-Linked Deposits in the manner contemplated by Section 2.03(c)(iii)
constitute agreements among the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit
Issuer and each PF Lender with respect to the Participation in the PF Letters of
Credit and do not constitute any loan or extension of credit to the Borrower
directly by the PF Lenders.

          (d)   If the Administrative Agent is not offering Dollar deposits (in
the applicable amounts) in the London interbank market, or the Administrative
Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not otherwise exist for
ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for the Credit-Linked Deposits (or any part
thereof), then the Credit-Linked Deposits (or such parts, as applicable) shall
be invested so as to earn a return equal to the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

          SECTION 3.  Fees; Commitments.

          3.01  Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment, a
commitment fee (the "RL Commitment Fee") for the period from the Effective Date
to but not including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as
the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at a
rate for each day equal to 1/2 of 1% on the daily average Unutilized Revolving
Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. Accrued RL Commitment Fees shall
be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on
the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date upon which the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated).

          (b)   The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, a
commitment fee (the "TL Commitment Fee") for the period from the Effective Date
to but not including the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date (or such earlier
date as the Total Term Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at
a rate for each day equal to 1/2 of 1% on the daily average Term Loan Commitment
of such Non-Defaulting Lender. Accrued TL Commitment Fees shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Term Loan
Commitment Termination Date (or such earlier date upon which the Total Term Loan
Commitment is terminated).

          (c)   The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for pro rata
distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment
(based on its respective Adjusted RL Percentage), a fee in respect of each WC
Letter of Credit (the "WC Letter of Credit Fee") computed at a rate per annum
equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar
Loans then in effect on the daily Stated Amount of such WC Letter of Credit.
Accrued WC Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears
on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the
termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no WC Letters of
Credit remain outstanding.

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

          (d)   The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each PF Lender (based on each such PF Lender's PF Percentage) a
fee (the "PF Facility Fee") equal to the sum of (I) a rate per annum equal to
the Applicable PF Margin on the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as in
effect from time to time (or, if terminated, on the aggregate amount of the
Credit-Linked Deposits from time to time) and (II) a rate per annum equal to the
Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount as in effect from time to time on the amount
of the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as in effect from time to time (or,
if terminated, on the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits from time
to time), in each case for the period from and including the Effective Date to
and including the date on which the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment has
been terminated, the Credit-Linked Deposits have been returned to the PF Lenders
and all PF Letters of Credit have been terminated. Accrued PF Facility Fees
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each date on which interest is
paid by the Administrative Agent to the PF Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(b)
or on each date on which interest is paid by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(ii), as the case may be, and (in either case)
on the date on which the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment has been
terminated, the Credit-Linked Deposits have been returned to the PF Lenders and
all PF Letters of Credit have been terminated.

          (e)   The Borrower shall pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in
respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer (the
"Facing Fee") computed at the rate of the Applicable Facing Fee Percentage on
the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Facing Fees shall be
due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and (x) in
the case of WC Letters of Credit, upon the first day on or after the termination
of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no WC Letters of Credit remain
outstanding and (y) in the case of PF Letters of Credit, upon the first day on
or after the termination of the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment upon which
no PF Letters of Credit remain outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the Borrower has paid
advance facing fees to any Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Existing
Letter of Credit under the letter of credit agreement governing the same, there
shall be credited against the Facing Fees due to such Letter of Credit Issuer
under this Agreement the amount of such advance facing fees which related to
periods after the Initial Borrowing Date.

          (f)   The Borrower shall pay directly to each Letter of Credit Issuer
upon each issuance of, payment under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit
issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer such amount as shall at the time of such
issuance, payment or amendment be the administrative charge which such Letter of
Credit Issuer is generally charging for issuances of, payments under or
amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

          (g)   The Borrower shall pay to each Agent, for its own account, such
other fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time between the Borrower
and such Agent, when and as due.

          (h)   All computations of Fees shall be made in accordance with
Section 13.07(b).

          3.02  Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Total Unutilized Revolving
Loan Commitment and Total Unutilized PF Letter of Credit Commitment. (a) Upon at
least three Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent at its
Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or
penalty, to terminate or partially reduce the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan
Commitment; provided that (i) any such termination or partial reduction shall
apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of
each Lender with such a Commitment, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this
Section 3.02(a) shall be in an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 and in
integral multiples of $1,000,000 thereafter and (iii) no reduction to the Total
Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment shall be in an amount which would cause the
Revolving Loan Commitment of any RL Lender to be reduced (as required by the
preceding clause (i)) by an amount which exceeds the remainder of (A) the
Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such RL Lender as in effect immediately
before giving effect to such reduction minus (B) such RL Lender's Adjusted RL
Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then
outstanding.

          (b)   Upon at least three Business Days' prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent of the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent
shall promptly transmit to each of the PF Lenders), the Borrower shall have the
right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty, to
terminate the Total Unutilized PF Letter of Credit Commitment in whole, or
reduce it in part in an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $5,000,000 thereafter, provided (x) that each such reduction shall
apply proportionately to permanently reduce the PF Letter of Credit Commitment
of each PF Lender and (y) the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any amounts
owing pursuant to Section 1.11(b) in connection with any such partial reduction
to the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment. At the time of any termination or
reduction of the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section
3.02(b), the Administrative Agent shall return to the PF Lenders (ratably in
accordance with their respective PF Percentages) their Credit-Linked Deposits in
an amount by which the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits at such
time exceeds the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as in effect immediately
after giving effect to such termination.

          (c)   In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to
certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to
this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in
Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, on or after the Term Loan
Commitment Termination Date, subject to obtaining the consents required by
Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days' prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent
shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate all of the
Commitments of such Lender (other than any such Commitment which is being
maintained by such Lender (and not being terminated by the Borrower) as provided
in Section 13.12(b)), so long as all Loans (other than any such Loans that are
being maintained by such Lender (and not being repaid by the Borrower) as
provided in Section 13.12(b)) and PF Unpaid Drawings (to the extent that such
Lender's PF Letter of Credit Commitment is being terminated), together with
accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender
(including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 1.11) are repaid
concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to Section
4.01(vi) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such
changed amounts) and such Lender's RL Percentage or PF Percentage, as the case
may be, of all outstanding WC Letters of

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

Credit and/or PF Letters of Credit are cash collateralized by the Borrower in a
manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Letter of
Credit Issuer, and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have
outstanding Term Loans hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a
"Lender" for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05,
4.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. At
the time of any termination of a PF Lender's PF Letter of Credit Commitment
pursuant to this Section 3.02(c), the Administrative Agent shall return to such
PF Lender its Credit-Linked Deposit.

          (d)   The Borrower shall not have the right to voluntarily terminate
or partially  reduce the Total Term Loan Commitment (or the Term Loan Commitment
of any Lender).

          3.03  Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Total Commitment
(and the Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender)
shall terminate in its entirety on December 23, 2003, unless the Initial
Borrowing Date has occurred on or before such date.

          (b)   In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions
pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Term Loan Commitment (and the Term Loan
Commitment of each Lender) shall (i) be reduced on each date on which Term Loans
are incurred (after giving effect to the making of Term Loans on such date) in
an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans incurred on such
date, (ii) terminate in its entirety (to the extent not theretofore terminated)
on the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date (after giving effect to any
incurrence of Term Loans on such date) and (iii) prior to the termination of the
Total Term Loan Commitment as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, be reduced
from time to time to the extent required by Section 4.02.

          (c)   In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions
pursuant to this Section 3.03,  the Total  Revolving  Loan  Commitment  (and the
Revolving Loan  Commitment of each RL Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on
the earlier to occur of (i) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (ii) unless the
Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing in their sole discretion,  a
Change of Control Event.

          (d)   In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions
pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment (and the
PF Letter of Credit Commitment of each PF Lender) shall terminate in its
entirety upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date and (ii)
unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, the date on which a
Change of Control Event occurs. At the time of any termination of the Total PF
Letter of Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.03(d), the Administrative
Agent shall return to the PF Lenders (ratably in accordance with their
respective PF Percentages) their Credit-Linked Deposits (to the extent not
theretofore applied pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(iii)) in an amount by which the
aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits at such time exceeds the
aggregate PF Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time.

          (e)   In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions
pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be
permanently reduced from time to time to the extent required by Section 4.02.

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

          (f)   Each reduction to the Total Term Loan Commitment, Total
Revolving Loan Commitment or Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment pursuant to
this Section 3.03 (or pursuant to Section 4.02) shall be applied proportionately
to reduce the Term Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment or the PF
Letter of Credit Commitment, as the case may be, of each Lender with such a
Commitment.

          SECTION 4. Payments.

          4.01  Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to
prepay the Loans, and the right to allocate such prepayments to Term Loans,
Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans as the Borrower elects, in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
from time to time on the following terms and conditions:

          (i)    the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice
     Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing)
     of its intent to prepay the Loans, whether such Loans are Term Loans,
     Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, the amount of such prepayment, the
     Types of Loans to be repaid and (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) the
     specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice (I) shall be
     given by the Borrower prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) (x) at least one
     Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of Term Loans
     and Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans, (y) at least three
     Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of
     Eurodollar Loans and (z) on the date of such prepayment in the case of
     Swingline Loans, (II) shall, in the case of prepayments of Term Loans,
     specify the manner in which such prepayment shall be applied to reduce the
     then remaining Scheduled Repayments and (III) shall, except in the case of
     Swingline Loans, promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to
     each of the Lenders;

          (ii)   each prepayment (other than prepayments in full of (I) all
     outstanding Base Rate Loans or (II) any outstanding Borrowing of Eurodollar
     Loans) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least (x)
     $1,000,000, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, (y) $500,000, in the case of
     Revolving Loans and Term Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans and (z)
     $100,000, in the case of Swingline Loans and, in each case, if greater, in
     integral multiples of $100,000, provided, that no partial prepayment of
     Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate
     principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans outstanding pursuant to such
     Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
     thereto;

          (iii)  at the time of any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to
     this Section 4.01 on any date other than the last day of the Interest
     Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay the amounts required
     pursuant to Section 1.11;

          (iv)   except as provided in clause (vi) below, each prepayment in
     respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata
     among such Loans, provided, that at the Borrower's election in connection
     with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01, such
     prepayment shall not be applied to any Revolving Loans of a Defaulting
     Lender;

                                      -29-

<PAGE>

          (v)    each prepayment of principal of Term Loans pursuant to this
     Section 4.01 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled
     Repayments in such manner as the Borrower shall designate in the notice
     delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (i) of this
     Section 4.01, provided that if the Borrower fails to make such a
     designation, each such prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied to reduce
     the then remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis (based upon the
     then remaining Scheduled Repayments after giving effect to all prior
     reductions thereto); and

          (vi)   in the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to
     certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect
     to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as
     provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower may, on or after the Term Loan
     Commitment Termination Date, upon five Business Days' prior written notice
     to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the
     Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay
     all Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to
     Section 1.11), together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all
     other amounts then owing to such Lender (or owing to such Lender with
     respect to each Tranche which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender's
     individual consent) in accordance with said Section 13.12(b), so long as
     (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant
     to this clause (vi), (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is
     terminated concurrently with such repayment (at which time Schedule I shall
     be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and
     (y) such Lender's Adjusted RL Percentage of all outstanding WC Letters of
     Credit is cash collateralized by the Borrower in a manner satisfactory to
     the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers, (B) in the case
     of the repayment of PF Unpaid Drawings for the account of any Lender
     pursuant to this clause (vi), (x) the PF Letter of Credit Commitment of
     such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to
     Section 3.02(c) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to
     reflect the changed PF Letter of Credit Commitments) and (y) such Lender's
     PF Percentage of all outstanding PF Letters of Credit is cash
     collateralized by the Borrower in a manner satisfactory to the
     Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers and (C) the consents
     required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to
     this clause (vi) shall have been obtained.

          4.02  Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) (i) If on
any date the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving
Loans made by Non-Defaulting Lenders and Swingline Loans (after giving effect to
all other repayments thereof on such date) and (y) the WC Letter of Credit
Outstandings on such date, exceeds the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment
as then in effect, the Borrower shall repay on such date the principal of
Swingline Loans, and if no Swingline Loans are or remain outstanding, the
principal of Revolving Loans of Non-Defaulting Lenders in an aggregate amount
equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all
outstanding Swingline Loans and all outstanding Revolving Loans of
Non-Defaulting Lenders, the aggregate amount of WC Letter of Credit Outstandings
exceeds the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, the
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such
date an amount in cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to such excess (up to the
aggregate amount of WC Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time) and the
Administrative Agent shall hold such payment as

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

security for the obligations of the Borrower to Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder
pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          (ii)   On any date on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of the Revolving Loans made by any Defaulting Lender exceeds the Revolving Loan
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall prepay on such date
principal of Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender in an amount equal to
such excess.

          (iii)  On any day on which the aggregate amount of all PF Letter of
Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment at such
time, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office
on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of
such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the PF Letter of Credit
Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as
security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Letter of Credit Issuers and
the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and
under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

          (b)   In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date set forth below, the
Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of Term Loans, to the
extent then outstanding, as is set forth opposite such date (each such
repayment, as the same may be reduced as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02(h),
a "Scheduled Repayment"):

$[140,000,000]/2/ in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans have been incurred
on or prior to such date, an amount equal to the remainder of $[140,000,000]
less the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans incurred on or prior to
such date shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments on
a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of such
Scheduled Repayments after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

          (c)   In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after the Effective
Date upon which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives Net Sale Proceeds
from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds from such
Asset Sale shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction
in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i); provided that
(I) (x) with respect to any such Net Sale Proceeds received by Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Date in connection with a Tractor
Trailer Replacement, such Net Sale Proceeds shall not give rise to a mandatory
repayment (and/or commitment reduction, as the case may be) on such date to the
extent that no Default or Event of Default then exists and Holdings delivers an
officer's certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date
stating that (i) an amount equal to such Net Sale Proceeds has been used to
purchase a replacement Tractor Trailer within 180 days prior to the date of
receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds or (ii) such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used
to purchase a replacement Tractor Trailer within 180 days following the date of
receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the amount
of the proceeds so expended or the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended,
as the case may be) and (y) in the case of any Tractor Trailer Replacement for
which no replacement Tractor Trailer has been purchased prior to the disposition
of the Tractor Trailer to be replaced pursuant to such Tractor Trailer
Replacement, if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds referred to in
preceding clause (x)(ii) are not so used within such 180-day period, such
remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory
repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above (without regard to this
proviso) and (II) with respect to no more than $10,000,000 in the aggregate of
such Net Sale Proceeds received by Holdings or its Subsidiaries in any fiscal
year of Holdings, such Net Sale Proceeds shall not give rise to a mandatory
repayment (and/or commitment reduction, as the case may be) on such date to the

certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that
such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used or contractually committed to be used to
purchase assets used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to
Section 9.01 (including, without limitation (but only to the extent permitted by
Section 9.02), the purchase of the capital stock of a Person engaged in such
businesses) within 365 days following the date of receipt of such Net Sale
Proceeds from such Asset Sale (which certificate shall set forth the estimates
of the proceeds to be so expended); provided further, that (i) if all or any
portion of such Net Sale Proceeds referred to in clause (II) of the immediately
preceding proviso are not so used (or contractually committed to be used) within
such 365 day period, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of
such period as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided
above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso) and (ii) if
all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not so used within such 365-day
period referred to in clause (i) of this proviso because such amount is
contractually committed to be used and subsequent to such date such contract is
terminated or expires without such portion being so used, such remaining portion
shall be applied on the date of such termination or expiration as a mandatory
repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above (without giving effect
to the immediately preceding proviso). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Section 4.02(c), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, no mandatory repayments or commitment reductions
shall be required pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso appearing in
this Section 4.02(c) until the date on which the aggregate Net Sale Proceeds
from all Asset Sales not reinvested within the time periods specified by said
proviso equals or exceeds $2,000,000.

          (d)   In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after the Effective
Date on which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds
from (i) any incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be
incurred pursuant to Section 9.04 as in effect on the Effective Date) by
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any issuance of Preferred Stock by
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than (x) Disqualified Preferred Stock

Indebtedness, issuance of Preferred Stock or Equity Interests or capital
contribution shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment
reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02(d), so long as no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no mandatory
repayment or commitment reduction shall be required pursuant to this Section
4.02(d) until the date on which the sum of (x) the Net Cash Proceeds required to
be applied as mandatory repayments and/or commitment reductions in the absence
of this sentence plus (y) the Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied as
mandatory repayments and/or commitment reductions pursuant to Section 4.02(e) in
the absence of the last sentence of said Section, equals or exceeds $2,000,000.

          (e)   In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date on or after the Effective
Date on which Holdings or

Stock as a result of the exercise of any warrants with respect thereto
generating cash proceeds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 million, (x)
any issuance of Holdings Common Stock or Qualified Preferred Stock, to the
extent the proceeds therefrom are used to effect Permitted Acquisitions, (y) so
long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, any issuance of
Holdings Common Stock or Qualified Preferred Stock, to the extent the proceeds
therefrom are used (I) to repurchase and/or redeem Existing 2006 Floating Rate
Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the requirements of subclause (t)
of the proviso appearing in Section 9.12(ii) and/or (II) to repay principal and
accrued but unpaid interest on Existing 2006 Floating Rate Senior Subordinated
Notes upon the final stated maturity thereof and (z) additional issuances of
Holdings Common Stock and Qualified Preferred Stock, to the extent that the
aggregate proceeds excluded pursuant to this clause (z) after the Effective Date
do not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate), an amount equal to the Applicable
Prepayment Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective equity issuance
or capital contribution shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or
commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and
(i); provided that Net Cash Proceeds received by Holdings from additional sales
or issuances of Holdings Common Stock or Qualified Preferred Stock shall not be
required to be applied as a mandatory repayment (and/or commitment reduction, as
the case may be) on the date of receipt thereof, to the extent that (x) no
Default or Event of Default then exists and (y) Holdings delivers a certificate
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash
Proceeds shall be used or contractually committed to be used to make Capital
Expenditures and/or effect Permitted Acquisitions within 270 days following the
date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the
estimates of the proceeds to be so expended), and provided further, that (i) if
all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not so used (or contractually
committed to be used) within such 270-day period, such remaining portion shall
be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory repayment and/or
commitment reduction as provided above and (ii) if all or any portion of such
Net Cash Proceeds are not so used within such 270-day period referred to in
clause (i) above because such amount is contractually committed to be used and
subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or expires without such
portion being so used, such remaining portion shall be applied on the date of
such termination or expiration as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment
reduction as provided above. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.02(e), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, no mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction shall be
required pursuant to this Section 4.02(e) until the date on which the sum of (x)
the Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments and/or
commitment reductions in the absence of this sentence plus (y) the Net Cash
Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments and/or commitment
reductions pursuant to Section 4.02(d) in the absence of the last sentence in
said Section, equals or exceeds $2,000,000.

          (f)   In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, within 10 days following each date on
or after the Effective Date on which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery

Event (other than proceeds from any Excluded Recovery Event), an amount equal to
100% of the proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs (including,
without limitation, legal costs and expenses) and taxes incurred in connection
with such Recovery Event and the amount of such proceeds required to be used to
repay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness of the Lenders pursuant to this
Agreement) which is secured by the respective assets subject to such Recovery
Event) shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i), provided that (x)
so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and such proceeds do not
exceed $5,000,000, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such
date to the extent that an Authorized Officer of Holdings has delivered a
certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that
such proceeds shall be used or shall be committed to be used to replace or
restore any properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid
within 360 days following the date of such Recovery Event (which certificate
shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended) and (y) so long
as no Default or Event of Default then exists and to the extent that (a) the
amount of such proceeds exceeds $5,000,000, (b) the amount of such proceeds,
together with other cash available to Holdings and its Subsidiaries and
permitted to be spent by them on Capital Expenditures during the relevant
period, equals at least 100% of the cost of replacement or restoration of the
properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid as determined
by Holdings and as supported by such estimates or bids from contractors or
subcontractors or such other supporting information as the Administrative Agent
may reasonably accept, (c) an Authorized Officer of Holdings has delivered to
the Administrative Agent a certificate on or prior to the date the respective
mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction would otherwise be required
pursuant to this Section 4.02(f) in the form described in clause (x) above and
also certifying its determination as required by preceding clause (b) and
certifying the sufficiency of business interruption insurance as required by
succeeding clause (d), and (d) an Authorized Officer of Holdings has delivered
to the Administrative Agent such evidence as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent establishing that Holdings has sufficient business
interruption insurance and that Holdings will receive payment thereunder in such
amounts and at such times as are necessary to satisfy all obligations and
expenses of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, all
debt service requirements, including pursuant to this Agreement), without any
delay or extension thereof, for the period from the date of the respective
casualty, condemnation or other event giving rise to the Recovery Event and
continuing through the completion of the replacement or restoration of the
respective properties or assets, then the entire amount of the proceeds of such
Recovery Event and not just the portion in excess of $5,000,000 shall be
deposited with the Administrative Agent pursuant to a cash collateral
arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby such
proceeds shall be disbursed to Holdings from time to time as needed to pay or
reimburse Holdings or such Subsidiary actual costs incurred by it in connection
with the replacement or restoration of the respective properties or assets
(pursuant to such certification requirements as may be established by the
Administrative Agent), provided further, that at any time while an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Lenders may direct the
Administrative Agent (in which case the Administrative Agent shall, and is
hereby authorized by each Credit Agreement Party to, follow said directions) to
apply any or all proceeds then on deposit in such collateral account to the
repayment of Obligations hereunder in the same manner as proceeds would be
applied pursuant to the Security Agreement, and provided further, that if

all or any portion of such proceeds not required to be applied as a mandatory
repayment and/or commitment reduction pursuant to the second preceding proviso
(whether pursuant to clause (x) or (y) thereof) are either (A) not so used or
committed to be so used within 360 days after the date of the respective
Recovery Event or (B) if committed to be used within 360 days after the date of
receipt of such net proceeds and not so used within 18 months after the date of
respective Recovery Event then, in either such case, such remaining portion not
used or committed to be used (in the case of preceding clause (A)) and not used
(in the case of preceding clause (B)) shall be applied on the date occurring 360
days after the date of the respective Recovery Event (in the case of clause (A)
above) or the date occurring 18 months after the date of the respective Recovery
Event (in the case of clause (B) above) as a mandatory repayment and/or
commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and
(i).

          (g)   In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date,
an amount equal to the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage of the Adjusted
Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period shall be
applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with
the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i).

          (h)   Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 4.02(c),
(d), (e), (f) and (g) in accordance with this Section 4.02(h) shall be applied
(i) first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans, (ii) second,
to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to
preceding subclause (i), to reduce the Total Term Loan Commitment, and (iii)
third, to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to
preceding subclauses (i) and (ii), to reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
and the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment on a pro rata basis (based on the
relative amounts of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total PF Letter
of Credit Commitment, in each case as in effect before giving effect to the
respective reduction). It is understood and agreed that (x) the amount of any
reduction to the Total Term Loan Commitment, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
and/or Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment as provided in preceding subclauses
(ii) and (iii) shall be deemed to be an application of proceeds for purposes of
this Section 4.02(h) even though cash is not actually applied, (y) any cash
received by Holdings or such Subsidiary in connection with the event giving rise
to such reduction will be retained by such Person except, in the case of any
reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Total PF Letter of
Credit Commitment, to the extent that such cash is otherwise required to be
applied as provided in Section 4.02(a) as a result of such reduction to the
Total Revolving Loan Commitment or the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment, as
the case may be, and (z) each such reduction to the Total Term Loan Commitment,
the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total PF Letter of Credit Commitment
shall be made in accordance with Section 3.03(e)). All repayments or commitment
reductions, as the case may be, of outstanding Term Loans or Term Loan
Commitments, as the case may be, pursuant to Sections 4.02(c), (d), (e), (f) or
(g) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of Term
Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining Scheduled Repayments
after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto). For purposes of greater
clarity, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any amount applied
pursuant to Section 4.02(c), (d), (e) or (f) as a mandatory repayment in
accordance with this Section 4.02(h) need not represent the actual proceeds
received by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the
respective Asset Sale, debt incurrence, equity issuance or Recovery Event, as
the case may be.

          (i)   With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section
4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche
which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific
Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made,
provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02
may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless
(x) all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending
on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective
Tranche have been paid in full and/or (y) concurrently with such repayment, the
Borrower pays all breakage costs and other amounts owing to each Lender pursuant
to Section 1.11; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a
single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to
such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
thereto, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current
Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of
any Tranche of Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata
among such Tranche of Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as
described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to
the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no
obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 1.11. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02, if at any time the mandatory
repayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 would result, after giving
effect to the procedures set forth in this clause (i) above, in the Borrower
incurring breakage costs under Section 1.11 as a result of Eurodollar Loans
being repaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
(any such Eurodollar Loans, "Affected Loans"), the Borrower may elect, by
written notice to the Administrative Agent, to have the provisions of the
following sentence be applicable. At the time any Affected Loans are otherwise
required to be prepaid, the Borrower may elect to deposit 100% (or such lesser
percentage elected by the Borrower as not being repaid) of the principal amounts
that otherwise would have been paid in respect of the Affected Loans with the
Administrative Agent to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with such cash collateral to
be released from such cash collateral account (and applied to repay the
principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans) upon each occurrence thereafter of
the last day of an Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Loans (or such
earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower), with the amount to
be so released and applied on the last day of each Interest Period to be the
amount of such Eurodollar Loans to which such Interest Period applies (or, if
less, the amount remaining in such cash collateral account).

          (j)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in
this Agreement, (i) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full
on the Swingline Expiry Date, (ii) all other then outstanding Loans shall be
repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Loans, (iii) all then
outstanding PF Unpaid Drawings which the Borrower had theretofore elected to
keep outstanding as provided in Section 2.04(b) shall be repaid in full on the
Term Loan Maturity Date and (iv) unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise
agree in writing in their sole discretion, all outstanding Loans shall be repaid
in full upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event.

          4.03  Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall be made to
the Administrative

<PAGE>

Agent for the ratable account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not
later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in
U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Any payments
under this Agreement or under any Note which are made later than 12:00 Noon (New
York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any
Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due
date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with
respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such
extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

          4.04  Net Payments. (a) All payments made by any Credit Agreement
Party hereunder (including, in the case of Holdings, in its capacity as
Guarantor pursuant to Section 14) or under any Note will be made without setoff,
counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such
payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or
other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed with respect to such
payments by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, in the case of
each Lender, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax,
including any income, branch profits, franchise or similar tax, which in each
case is imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital of such
Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is
organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable
lending office of such Lender is located or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities
with respect to such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees,
assessments or other charges (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as
"Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the relevant Credit Agreement
Party agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts
as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due by such Credit
Agreement Party under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or
deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount
provided for herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of
Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence (any such amounts, the "Gross-Up
Amount"), the relevant Credit Agreement Party agrees to reimburse each Lender,
upon the written request of such Lender, for the net amount, if any, of any
taxes such Lender shall determine are incurred by such Lender (taking into
account in calculating such net amount any allowable credit, deduction or other
benefit available as a result of, or with respect to, the payment by the
relevant Credit Agreement Party to such Lender of (i) the Gross-Up Amount or
(ii) any amount paid pursuant to this sentence) that would not have been
incurred in the absence of the payment by such Credit Agreement Party of (i) the
Gross-Up Amount or (ii) any amount paid pursuant to this sentence. The relevant
Credit Agreement Party will furnish to the Administrative Agent promptly after
the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified
copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Credit Agreement Party.
Each Credit Agreement Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender,
and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes
so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender in respect of any payments by or on
behalf of such Credit Agreement Party.

          (b)   Each Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date hereby
represents that, as of the Effective Date, all payments of principal, interest,
and fees to be made to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement will be
totally exempt from withholding of United States federal tax. Each Lender that
is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case
of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04, on the date of such assignment or
transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete
exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such
Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax
with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or
(ii) if the Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form
W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty)
pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit D (any such certificate, a "Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate") and (y)
two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor
form) certifying to such Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption from
United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made
under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that
(a) from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change
in circumstances or applicable law renders the previous certification obsolete
or inaccurate in any material respect, and (b) upon the Borrower's reasonable
request after the occurrence of any change in applicable law or any other event
requiring the delivery of a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or any successor form in
addition to or in replacement of the forms previously delivered, it will deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN
(with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), Form W-8BEN (with
respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii)
Certificate, or any successor form, as the case may be, and such other forms as
may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender
to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with
respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any
such form or certificate in which case such Lender shall not be required to
deliver any such form or certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but
subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be
entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold
income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other
amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United
States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for
federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to
the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service forms that establish a complete
exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, such deduction or withholding
(unless the Lender shall no longer be eligible to deliver such form or
statement) and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section
4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to such Lender, or to indemnify
and hold harmless or reimburse such Lender, in respect of income or similar
taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such

                                      -39-

<PAGE>

Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service forms
required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II)
in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause
(ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption
from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except
as set forth in Section 13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts
and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without
regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or
withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in
the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the
Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting
or withholding of such Taxes; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be
required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this sentence to the extent
such deduction or withholding is imposed as a result of the failure of the
Lender to furnish the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that
establish a complete exemption from or reduction in the amount of such deduction
or withholding (unless such Lender shall not be eligible to deliver such form or
statement). The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts or
indemnification under Section 4.04(a) to any Lender to the extent that the
obligation to pay such additional amounts or indemnification would not have
arisen but for the representation set forth in the first sentence of Section
4.04(b) above made by the Lender not being true.

          (c)   If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section
4.04 with respect to taxes imposed on any payments made to or on behalf of a
Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion, but acting in good
faith, that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any
refund of tax, or any reduction of, or credit against, its tax liabilities (a
"Tax Benefit"), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender
shall, in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, determine is equal to
the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender as a consequence of
such refund, reduction or credit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may
determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender,
whether to seek a Tax Benefit and (ii) nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall
require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower
(including, without limitation, its tax returns).

          (d)   Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal
and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such
Lender) (i) to file any certificate or document or to furnish any information as
reasonably requested by the Borrower pursuant to any applicable treaty, law or
regulation or (ii) to designate a different applicable lending office of such
Lender, if the making of such filing or the furnishing of such information or
the designation of such other lending office would avoid the need for or reduce
the amount of any additional amounts payable by the Borrower and would not, in
the sole discretion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

          (e)   The provisions of this Section 4.04 are subject to the
provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable).

respects on and as of the Initial Borrowing Date and the date of each such
Credit Event, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date in which case
such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material

power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions
of the Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary Company

Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its
property or assets are bound or to which such Credit Party and any of its
Subsidiaries may be subject (including, without limitation, each of the Existing
Senior Notes Documents, the other Existing Indebtedness Agreements and the New

of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, Permitted
Acquisitions, repayments of Unpaid Drawings on PF Letters of Credit and WC

Section 2.01(a).

          (d)   Except as otherwise permitted by Sections 9.06(ii), (xiii) and
(xiv), no part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to
purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan, nor the
use of the proceeds thereof, nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event, will
violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

          (e)   At the time of each Credit Event, not more than 25% of the value

          7.10  Financial Condition; Financial Statements. (a) On and as of the
Initial Borrowing Date, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the
Transaction (including the Existing Senior Notes Refinancing as if same had been

shareholders' equity of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years of
Holdings ended on such dates, in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the
Initial Borrowing Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated
financial position of Holdings and its Subsidiaries at the date of said
financial statements and the results for the respective periods covered thereby
and (ii)(x) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries at September 30, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of

liabilities or obligations (excluding current obligations incurred in the
ordinary course of business and commitments to purchase Tractor Trailers) with
respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to
Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (ii) no Credit Agreement
Party knows of any basis for the assertion against it or any of its Subsidiaries

aggregate, has had (unless same has ceased to exist), or could reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

the financial statements referred to in Section 7.10(b), and have been prepared
in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions under the then known facts

believes that the Projections are reasonable and

                                      -55-

attainable based upon the then known facts and circumstances (it being
understood that nothing contained in this Section 7.10(e) shall constitute a
representation that the results forecasted in such Projections will in fact be
achieved). There is no fact known to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which

Documents other than the U.S Security Documents, enforceable as against third
parties), superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and subject

subject to Permitted Liens relating thereto, (ii) in the case of deposit
accounts constituting Security Agreement Collateral, such Collateral may be
subject to such exceptions to the perfection requirements as are specifically
set forth in the Security Agreement, (iii) the Pledge Agreement Collateral may
be subject to the Liens described in clauses (a) and (e) of Section 9.03, (iv)
the security interest and mortgage lien created in the Mortgaged Properties may
be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances related thereto, and (v) in the case of
any Security Agreement Collateral acquired after the Initial Borrowing Date, the
foregoing representation as to the perfection, superiority and priority of the
security interest in such after-acquired Security Agreement Collateral, shall
not be made hereunder until the time limit specified in Section 2.1 of the
Security Agreement for the filing of UCC-1 financing statements covering such
Security Agreement Collateral has lapsed), in favor of the Collateral Agent. No
filings or recordings are required in order to perfect and/or render enforceable
as against third parties the security interests created under any Security
Document except for filings or recordings required in connection with any such
Security Document which shall have been made on or prior to the Initial
Borrowing Date as contemplated by Section 5.10 or on or prior to the execution
and delivery thereof as contemplated by Sections 8.11, 8.12 and 9.15 (or, in the

investigation with respect to the administration, operation or the investment of
assets of any Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) is pending, expected
or, to the best knowledge of each Credit Agreement Party after due inquiry,
threatened; using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with
Part 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of Holdings
and its Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the
event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent
fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan ended prior to the date of the most
recent Credit Event, would not exceed an amount that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; each group health plan (as defined
in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) maintained by
Holdings or any Subsidiary which covers or has covered employees or former
employees of Holdings, any Subsidiary of Holdings or any ERISA Affiliate has at
all times been operated in substantial compliance with the provisions of Part 6
of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code; each group
health plan (as defined in 45 Code of Federal Regulations Section 160.103) which
covers or has covered employees or former employees of Holdings, any Subsidiary
of Holdings, or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times been operated in
substantial compliance with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations promulgated thereunder; no
lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of Holdings or any Subsidiary
of Holdings or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is likely to arise on account of
any Plan; and, except as described in item (iv)

                                      -57-

set forth on Part B of Schedule V, Holdings and its Subsidiaries may cease
contributions to or terminate any employee benefit plan maintained by any of
them without incurring any material liability.

          (b)   Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial
compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable
laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where
required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. Neither
Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any liability in connection
with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan that has not
been paid, accrued or otherwise properly reserved on Holdings' or such
Subsidiary's balance sheet. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan that is
required by applicable local law or by its terms to be funded through a separate
funding vehicle, the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether
or not vested) under each such Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the latest
valuation date for such Foreign Pension Plan on the basis of actuarial
assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of
the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by
an amount which, when added to the aggregate amount of the accrued benefit
liabilities with respect to all other Foreign Pension Plans, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          7.13  Capitalization./7/ (a) On the Initial Borrowing Date and after

          (c)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.17,
the representations made in this Section 7.17 shall be untrue only if the
aggregate effect of all liabilities, conditions, failures, noncompliances,
Environmental Claims, Releases, restrictions and presence of underground storage

will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit, upon reasonable notice to the
chief financial officer or other Authorized Officer of such Credit Agreement
Party, officers and designated representatives of any Agent or the Required
Lenders to visit and inspect under the guidance of officers of such Credit
Agreement Party any of the properties or assets of such Credit Agreement Party
and any of its Subsidiaries in whomsoever's possession, and to examine the books
of account of such Credit Agreement Party and any of its Subsidiaries and
discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of such Credit Agreement Party and of
any of its Subsidiaries with, and be advised as to the same by, their officers
and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and intervals and to
such reasonable extent as such Agent or the Required Lenders may desire,
provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence,
the Credit Agreement Parties shall have the right to participate in any
discussions of the Agents or the Lenders with any independent accountants of the
Credit Agreement Parties.

          8.03  Insurance. (a) Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to (i) maintain, with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies, insurance on all its property in at least such amounts and
against at least such risks as is consistent with that of other Companies of
substantially similar size and scope of operations in the same or substantially
similar businesses as Holdings and its Subsidiaries and (ii) furnish to the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, upon request, full information as
to the insurance carried. Such insurance shall include physical damage insurance
on all real and personal property (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) on
an all risk basis and business interruption insurance. The provisions of this
Section 8.03 shall be deemed supplemental to, but not duplicative of, the
provisions of any Security Documents that require the maintenance of insurance.

          (b)   Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, at all times keep the respective property of such Credit
Agreement Party and its Subsidiaries (except real or personal property leased or
financed through third parties in accordance with this Agreement) insured in
favor of the Collateral Agent, and all policies or certificates with respect to
such insurance (and any other insurance maintained by, or on behalf of, such
Credit Agreement Party or any Subsidiary of such Credit Agreement Party) (i)
shall be endorsed to the Collateral Agent's satisfaction for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, by naming the Collateral Agent
as certificate holder, mortgagee and loss payee with respect to real property,
certificate holder and loss payee with respect to personal property, additional
insured with respect to general liability and umbrella liability coverage and
certificate holder with respect to workers' compensation insurance), (ii) shall
state that such insurance policies shall not be cancelled or materially changed
without at least 30 days' prior written notice

                                      -66-

<PAGE>

thereof by the respective insurer to the Collateral Agent and (iii) shall, upon
the request of the Collateral Agent, be deposited with the Collateral Agent.

          (c)   If any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall
fail to maintain all insurance in accordance with this Section 8.03, or if any
Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to so name the
Collateral Agent as an additional insured, mortgagee or loss payee, as the case
may be, or so deposit all certificates with respect thereto, the Administrative
Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall be under no
obligation) to procure such insurance, and the Credit Parties agree to jointly
and severally reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, for all costs and expenses of procuring such insurance.

          8.04  Payment of Taxes. Each Credit Agreement Party will pay and
discharge, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all
material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it
or upon its income or profits, or upon any material properties belonging to it,
prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, and all material lawful
claims for sums that have become due and payable which, if unpaid, might become
a Lien not otherwise permitted under Section 9.03(a); provided, that neither any
Credit Agreement Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any
such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim which is being contested in good
faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves with
respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

          8.05  Existence; Franchises. Each Credit Agreement Party will do, and
will cause each of its Subsidiaries to do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and its
material rights, franchises, authority to do business, licenses and patents,
except for rights, franchises, authority to do business, licenses and patents
the loss of which (individually or in the aggregate) has not had (unless same
has ceased to exist), and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material
Adverse Effect; provided, however, that any transaction permitted by Section
9.02 will not constitute a breach of this Section 8.05.

          8.06  Compliance with Statutes; etc. Each Credit Agreement Party will,
and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable statutes,
regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all
governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the conduct of its
business and the ownership of its property, except for such noncompliances as,
either individually or in the aggregate, have not had (unless same has ceased to
exist), and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.07  Compliance with Environmental Laws. (a) (i) Each Credit
Agreement Party will comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply,
and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Program Affiliate to
comply, in all material respects with all Environmental Laws applicable to their
businesses or the ownership or use of its Real Property now or hereafter owned
or operated by such Credit Agreement Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any
Program Affiliate, will promptly pay or, with respect to any of its
Subsidiaries, cause to be paid all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with such compliance, and will keep or cause to be kept all such Real Property
free and clear of any Liens imposed pursuant to such Environmental Laws and (ii)
neither any Credit Agreement Party nor any of its Subsidiaries will generate,
use, treat, store, Release or dispose of, or permit the generation, use,
treatment, storage,

                                      -67-

<PAGE>

release or disposal of, Hazardous Materials on any Real Property owned or
operated by such Credit Agreement Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any Program
Affiliate other than in compliance with Environmental Laws and as required in
connection with the normal business operations of such Credit Agreement Party,
its Subsidiaries and the Program Affiliates, or transport or permit the
transportation of Hazardous Materials other than in compliance with
Environmental Laws and as required in connection with the normal business
operations of such Credit Agreement Party, its Subsidiaries and the Program
Affiliates, unless the failure to comply with the requirements specified in
clause (i) or (ii) above, either individually or in the aggregate, has not had,
and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. If any
Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any tenant or occupant of
any Real Property owned or operated by such Credit Agreement Party or any of its
Subsidiaries causes or permits any intentional or unintentional act or omission
resulting in the presence or Release of any Hazardous Material in a quantity or
concentration sufficient to require reporting or to trigger an obligation to
undertake clean-up, removal or remedial action under applicable Environmental
Laws, such Credit Agreement Party agrees to undertake, and/or to cause any of
its Subsidiaries, tenants or occupants to undertake, at their sole expense, any
clean up, removal, remedial or other action required pursuant to Environmental
Laws to remove and clean up any Hazardous Materials from any Real Property
except where the failure to do so has not had (unless same has ceased to exist),
and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;
provided that neither any Credit Agreement Party nor any of its Subsidiaries
shall be required to undertake any clean up, removal, remedial or other action
while the requirement to undertake such clean up, removal, remedial or other
action is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings so long as it
has maintained adequate reserves with respect to such clean up, removal, redial
or other action to the extent required in accordance with GAAP. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Section 8.07(a), no Credit Agreement Party shall be
required by this Section to exercise any degree of control over the operations
of any of its Subsidiaries or any Program Affiliate that could reasonably be
construed under applicable Environmental Law to make such Credit Agreement Party
liable for Environmental Claims arising from or causally related to the Real
Property or operations of such Subsidiary or Program Affiliate as an owner or an
operator or upon any other basis.

          (b)   At the written request of the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders, which request shall specify in reasonable detail the basis
therefor, at any time and from time to time, each Credit Agreement Party will
provide, at its sole cost and expense, an environmental site assessment report
concerning any Real Property now or hereafter owned or operated by such Credit
Agreement Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any Program Affiliate, prepared by
an environmental consulting firm approved by the Administrative Agent,
addressing the matters in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below which gives rise to
such request (or, in the case of a request pursuant to following clause (i),
addressing such matter as may be requested by the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders) and estimating the reasonable range of the potential costs of
any removal, remedial or other corrective action in connection with any such
matter, provided that in no event shall such request be made unless (i) an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Lenders receive notice under
Section 8.01(g) for any event for which notice is required to be delivered for
any such Real Property or (iii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
reasonably believe that there was a breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant contained in Section 7.17 or 8.07(a), and provided further that, with
respect to any Real Property owned or operated by any Program Affiliate, a
Credit Agreement Party

                                      -68-

<PAGE>

shall be required only to use commercially reasonable efforts to gain access to
such property for the purpose of providing the report. If any Credit Agreement
Party fails to provide the same within 60 days after such request was made, the
Administrative Agent may order the same, and each Credit Agreement Party shall
grant and hereby grants, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their
agents access to such Real Property owned or operated by any Credit Agreement
Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and specifically grants the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and their agents an irrevocable non-exclusive license,
subject to the rights of tenants, to undertake such an assessment, all at such
Credit Agreement Party's expense. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section
8.07(b), no Credit Agreement Party shall be required by this Section to
undertake any site assessment of any Real Property of any Subsidiary or Program
Affiliate if such activity could reasonably be construed to be a sufficient
exercise of control over such entity or Real Property to make any such Credit
Agreement Party liable for any Environmental Claims resulting from the presence
of Hazardous Materials on such Real Property.

          8.08  ERISA. As soon as possible and, in any event, within ten
Business Days after Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings or any ERISA
Affiliate knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any of the following,
Holdings will deliver to each of the Lenders, a certificate of the chief
financial officer of Holdings setting forth the full details as to such
occurrence and the action, if any, that Holdings, such Subsidiary or any ERISA
Affiliate is required or proposes to take, together with any notices required or

Affiliate, the PBGC or any other governmental agency, a Plan, a Plan

to occur within the following 30 days; that an accumulated funding deficiency,
within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, has been
incurred or an application has been made or is reasonably expected to be made
for a waiver or modification of the minimum funding standard (including any
required installment payments) or an extension of any amortization period under
Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA with respect to a Plan;

<PAGE>

liability) to or on account of the termination of or withdrawal from a Plan or a
Multiemployer Plan under Section 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of
ERISA or with respect to a Plan under Section 401(a)(29), 4971 or 4980 of the
Code or with respect to a group health plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of
ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) under Section 4980B of the Code; that
Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings will or is reasonably expected to incur

502(1) of ERISA; or that Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings will or is

material notices received by Holdings, any Subsidiary of Holdings or any ERISA
Affiliate with respect to any Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Foreign Pension Plan
shall be delivered to the Lenders no later than ten Business Days after the date
such documents and/or information has been furnished to the PBGC or such notice
has been received by Holdings, such Subsidiary or such ERISA Affiliate, as
applicable. If, at any time after the Initial Borrowing Date, Holdings, any
Subsidiary of Holdings or any ERISA Affiliate maintains, or contributes to (or
incurs an obligation to contribute to), a pension plan as defined in Section
3(2) of ERISA which is not set forth in Part A of Schedule V, as may be updated
from time to time, then Holdings shall deliver to the Lenders an updated Part A
of Schedule V as soon as possible and, in any event, within ten Business Days
after Holdings, such Subsidiary or such ERISA Affiliate maintains, or
contributes to (or incurs an obligation to contribute to), such pension plan.
Such updated Part A of Schedule V shall supersede and replace the existing Part
A of Schedule V. Holdings and each of its applicable Subsidiaries shall ensure

required by applicable law and is administered in a timely manner in all
respects in compliance with all applicable laws except where the failure to do
any of the foregoing has not had (unless same has ceased to exist), and could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.09  Good Repair. Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, ensure that its material properties and equipment
used in its business are kept in good repair, working order and condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, and that from time to time there are made in
such properties and equipment all needful and proper repairs, renewals,
replacements, extensions, additions, betterments and improvements thereto, to
the extent and in the manner useful or customary for companies in similar
businesses.

          8.10  End of Fiscal Years; Fiscal Quarters. Each Credit Agreement
Party will, for financial reporting purposes, cause (i) each of its, and each of
its Subsidiaries', fiscal years to end on December 31 of each calendar year and

                                      -70-

<PAGE>

fiscal quarters to end on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of
each calendar year.

          8.11  Additional Security; Further Assurances. (a) Each Credit
Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Wholly-Owned Domestic
Subsidiaries (and to the extent Section 8.12 is operative, each of its
Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiaries) to, grant to the Collateral Agent security
interests and mortgages in such assets and real property of such Credit
Agreement Party and its Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries as are not covered by
the original Security Documents (or if so covered, are not subject to valid and
enforceable perfected security interests, hypothecations or mortgages on the
terms specified in the immediately succeeding sentence), in each case to the
extent requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders (collectively, the "Additional Security Documents"). All such security
interests and mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent and shall constitute
valid and enforceable perfected security interests, hypothecations and mortgages
superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and enforceable as
against third parties and subject to no other Liens except for Permitted Liens.
The Additional Security Documents or instruments related thereto shall have been
duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law
to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral
Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Security Documents and
all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall have
been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.11(a) shall not
apply to (and Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to grant a
mortgage in) any Leasehold or any owned Real Property, the fair market value of
which (as determined in good faith by senior management of Holdings) is equal to

          (b)   Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, at the expense of such Credit Agreement Party, make, execute,
endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to
time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances,
financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates,
real property surveys, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such
further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security
Documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require (including, without
limitation, reregistering the certificate of title of any Tractor Trailer in any
state in which such Tractor Trailer primarily operates, to the extent the
Collateral Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such action is
required to ensure the perfection or the enforceability as against third parties
of its security interest in such Collateral). Furthermore, each Credit Agreement
Party shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such opinions of
counsel, title insurance and other related documents as may be reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent to assure itself that this Section 8.11 has
been complied with.

          (c)   Each Credit Agreement Party agrees that each action required
above by this Section 8.11 shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no
event later than 90 days after such action is either requested to be taken by
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders or
required to be taken by the Credit Agreement Parties and their respective
Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.11; provided that in no
event will any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries be required to
take any action, other than

                                      -71-

<PAGE>

using its commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain consents from third parties
with respect to its compliance with this Section 8.11.

          (d)   In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders at any time after the Initial Borrowing Date determine in their sole
discretion (whether as a result of a position taken by an applicable bank
regulatory agency or official, or otherwise) that real estate appraisals
satisfying the requirements set forth in 12 C.F.R., Part 34-Subpart C, or any
successor or similar statute, rule, regulation, guideline or order (any such
appraisal a "Required Appraisal") are or were required to be obtained, or should
be obtained, in connection with any Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties,
then, within 90 days after receiving written notice thereof from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, the Credit
Agreement Parties shall cause such Required Appraisal to be delivered, at the
expense of the Credit Agreement Parties, to the Administrative Agent, which
Required Appraisal, and the respective appraiser, shall be satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

          8.12  Foreign Subsidiaries Security. If following a change in the
relevant sections of the Code or the regulations, rules, rulings, notices or
other official pronouncements issued or promulgated thereunder, counsel for the
Borrower reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent does not within 30
days after a request from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
deliver evidence, in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary
(and in the case of clause (i) below, any Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary) of
the Borrower which has not already had all of its Equity Interests pledged
pursuant to the U.S. Pledge Agreement, the Quebec Pledge Agreement or the
Mexican Pledge Agreement, as applicable, to secure all of the Obligations (as
defined in the respective Pledge Agreement) that (i) a pledge of more than
66-2/3% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Equity Interests of
such Foreign Subsidiary (or Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary) entitled to vote,
(ii) the entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a security agreement in
substantially the form of the Security Agreement, (iii) the entering into by
such Foreign Subsidiary of a pledge agreement in substantially the form of the
U.S. Pledge Agreement and (iv) the entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a
guaranty in substantially the form of the Subsidiaries Guaranty, in any such
case could reasonably be expected to cause (I) the undistributed earnings of
such Foreign Subsidiary (or Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary) as determined for
Federal income tax purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign
Subsidiary's (or Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary's) United States parent for
Federal income tax purposes or (II) other material adverse Federal income tax
consequences to the Credit Parties, then in the case of a failure to deliver the
evidence described in clause (i) above, that portion of such Foreign
Subsidiary's (or Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary's, as the case may be)
outstanding Equity Interests so issued by such Foreign Subsidiary (or Foreign
Unrestricted Subsidiary, as the case may be), in each case not theretofore
pledged pursuant to a U.S. Pledge Agreement, the Quebec Pledge Agreement or the
Mexican Pledge Agreement, as applicable, to secure all of the Obligations (as
defined in the respective Pledge Agreement), shall be pledged to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors pursuant to the U.S. Pledge
Agreement, the Quebec Pledge Agreement or the Mexican Pledge Agreement, as
applicable (or another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if
needed), and in the case of a failure to deliver the evidence described in
clause (ii) or (iii) above, such Foreign Subsidiary (to the extent same is a
Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiary) shall execute and deliver the Security
Agreement (or another security agreement in substantially similar form, if
needed) or the U.S. Pledge

                                      -72-

<PAGE>

Agreement (or another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if
needed), as the case may be, granting to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Creditors a security interest in all of such Foreign Subsidiary's
assets or Equity Interests and promissory notes owned by such Foreign
Subsidiary, as the case may be, and securing the obligations of the Borrower
under the Credit Documents and under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or
Other Hedging Agreement and, in the event the Subsidiaries Guaranty shall have
been executed by such Foreign Subsidiary, the obligations of such Foreign
Subsidiary thereunder, and in the case of a failure to deliver the evidence
described in clause (iv) above, such Foreign Subsidiary (to the extent same is a
Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiary) shall execute and deliver the Subsidiaries
Guaranty (or another guaranty in substantially similar form, if needed),
guaranteeing the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents and
under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement, in each
case to the extent that the entering into of such Security Agreement, the U.S.
Pledge Agreement or the Subsidiaries Guaranty (or substantially similar
document) is permitted by the laws of the respective foreign jurisdiction and
with all documents delivered pursuant to this Section 8.12 to be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or the
Collateral Agent.

          8.13  Performance of Obligations. Each Credit Agreement Party will,
and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, perform all of its obligations under
the terms of each mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, loan agreement or credit
agreement and each other material agreement, contract or instrument by which it
is bound, except such non-performances as, individually or in the aggregate,
have not had (unless same has ceased to exist), and could not reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.14  Use of Proceeds. Holdings will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Loans for the purposes specified in
Section 7.05.

          8.15  Permitted Acquisitions. (a) Subject to the provisions of this
Section 8.15 and the requirements contained in the definition of Permitted
Acquisition, the Borrower and any of its Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries may
from time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions, so long as (in each case except
to the extent the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree in writing in
the case of a specific Permitted Acquisition): (i) no Default or Event of
Default shall be in existence at the time of the consummation of the proposed
Permitted Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) the
Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at least 5
Business Days' prior written notice of any Permitted Acquisition; (iii)
calculations are made by the Borrower of compliance with the covenants contained
in Sections 9.09 and 9.10 (in each case, giving effect to the last sentence
appearing therein) for the Calculation Period most recently ended prior to the
date of such Permitted Acquisition, on a Pro Forma Basis as if the respective
Permitted Acquisition (as well as all other Permitted Acquisitions theretofore
consummated after the first day of such Calculation Period) had occurred on the
first day of such Calculation Period, and such recalculations shall show that
such financial covenants would have been complied with if the Permitted
Acquisition had occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period (for this
purpose, if the first day of the respective Calculation Period occurs prior to
the Initial Borrowing Date, calculated as if the covenants contained in said
Sections 9.09 and 9.10 (in each case, giving effect to the last sentence
appearing therein) had been applicable from the first day of the Calculation
Period); (iv) based on good faith projections prepared by the Borrower for the
period

                                      -73-

<PAGE>

from the date of the consummation of the Permitted Acquisition to the date which
is one year thereafter, the level of financial performance measured by the
covenants set forth in Sections 9.09 and 9.10 (in each case, giving effect to
the last sentence appearing therein) shall be better than or equal to such level
as would be required to provide that no Default or Event of Default would exist
under the financial covenants contained in Sections 9.09 and 9.10 (in each case,
giving effect to the last sentence appearing therein) through the date which is
one year from the date of the consummation of the respective Permitted
Acquisition; (v) the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with
the proposed Permitted Acquisition (exclusive of the aggregate liquidation
preference or fair market value, as applicable, of any Equity Interest issued by
Holdings as consideration in connection with such Permitted Acquisition) does
not exceed $20,000,000; (vi) all representations and warranties contained herein
and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material
respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had
been made on and as of the date of such Permitted Acquisition (both before and
after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier
date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (vii) the Borrower

effect, or is acquired pursuant to, a Permitted Acquisition to comply with, and

being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any
Unrestricted Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency
proceeding.

          (b)   Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any
action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the

insolvency proceeding. Holdings shall not permit any cash of any Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary and any Credit Party to be commingled in any bank account.

exceed $7,500,000. So long as fair market value of all Margin Stock at any time
owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (other than capital stock of Holdings
held in treasury) does not exceed $7,500,000, such Margin Stock will not
constitute Collateral and no security interest shall be granted therein pursuant
to any Credit Document, provided that if at any time the fair market value of
all Margin Stock owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (other than capital
stock of Holdings held in treasury) exceeds $7,500,000, then (x) all Margin

Repayment under Section 4.02(b) or (y) made as a voluntary prepayment pursuant
to Section 4.01 with internally generated funds (but in a case of a voluntary
prepayment of Revolving Loans, only to the extent accompanied by a voluntary
reduction to the

                                     -107-

that all references herein to Revolving Loan Commitments and the Adjusted Total
Revolving Loan Commitment at a time when the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or
Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be, has been
terminated shall be references to the Revolving Loan Commitments or Adjusted
Total Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be, in effect immediately prior
to such termination, provided that (A) no Lender's Adjusted RL Percentage shall
change upon the occurrence of a Lender Default from that in effect immediately
prior to such Lender Default if after giving effect to such Lender Default, and
any repayment of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans at such time pursuant to
Section 4.02(a) or otherwise, the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Revolving Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders, plus (ii) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans, plus (iii) the Letter of Credit

changes to the Adjusted RL Percentage that would have become effective upon the
occurrence of a Lender Default but that did not become effective as a result of
the preceding clause (A) shall become effective on the first date after the
occurrence of the relevant Lender Default on which the sum of (i) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of all Non-Defaulting
Lenders, plus (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swingline
Loans, plus (iii) the Letter of Credit Outstandings, is equal to or less than
the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment; and (C) if (i) a Non-Defaulting

similar payment in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of the Borrower, then
the change to such Non-Defaulting Lender's Adjusted RL Percentage effected
pursuant to said clause (B) shall be reduced to that positive change, if any, as
would have been made to its Adjusted RL Percentage if (x) such repayments had
not been made and (y) the maximum change to its Adjusted RL Percentage would
have resulted in the sum of the outstanding principal of Revolving Loans made by
such Lender plus such Lender's new Adjusted RL Percentage of the outstanding
principal amount of Swingline Loans and of Letter of Credit Outstandings
equaling such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment at such time.

          "Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio" shall mean, on any date, the ratio of
(i) Consolidated Debt on such date to (ii) Consolidated EBITDA for the Test
Period most recently ended on or prior to such date. All calculations of the

          The Total Leverage Ratio shall be determined based on the delivery of
a certificate of Holdings by an Authorized Officer of Holdings to the
Administrative Agent (with a copy to be sent by the Administrative Agent to each
Lender), within 45 days of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Holdings, which
certificate shall set forth the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio as at
the last day of the Test Period ended immediately prior to the relevant Start
Date (but determined on a Pro Forma Basis to give effect to any Permitted
Acquisition or Subsidiary Redesignation effected on or prior to the date of the
delivery of such certificate) and the Adjustable Applicable Margins which shall
be thereafter applicable (until same are changed or cease to apply in accordance
with the following sentences); provided that at the time of the consummation of
any Permitted Acquisition or Subsidiary Redesignation or any issuance of
Permitted Debt or Disqualified Preferred Stock, an Authorized Officer of
Holdings shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth
the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last
day of the last Calculation Period ended prior to the date on which such
Permitted Acquisition or Subsidiary Redesignation is consummated or such
Permitted Debt or Disqualified Preferred Stock is/are issued for which financial
statements have been made available (or were required to be made available)
pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or (b), as the case may be, and the date of such
consummation shall be deemed to be a Start Date and the Adjustable Applicable
Margins which shall be thereafter applicable (until same are changed or cease to
apply in accordance with the following sentence) shall be based upon the Total
Leverage Ratio as so calculated. The Adjustable Applicable Margins so determined
shall apply, except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, from the relevant
Start Date to the earliest of (x) the date on which the next certificate is
delivered to the Administrative Agent, (y) the date on which the next Permitted
Acquisition or Subsidiary Redesignation is consummated or Permitted Debt or
Disqualified Preferred Stock is/are issued or (z) the date which is 45 days
following the last day of the Test Period in which the previous Start Date
occurred (such earliest date, the "End Date"), at which time, if no certificate
has been delivered to the Administrative Agent indicating an entitlement to new
Adjustable Applicable Margins (and thus commencing a new Start Date), the
Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be those set forth in the first sentence of
this definition (such Adjustable Applicable Margins as so determined, the
"Highest Applicable Margins"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained above in this definition, the Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be
the Highest Applicable Margins (x) at all times during which there shall exist
any Default or Event of Default and (y) prior to the date of delivery of the

          SECTION 12. The Agents.

          12.01 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints CSFB as Administrative Agent of such Lender (for purposes of this
Section 12, the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean CSFB in its capacity as
Administrative Agent hereunder and Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security
Documents), DBSI and BSCL as Co-Syndication Agents and JPMorgan Chase Bank as
Documentation Agent to act as specified herein and in the other Credit
Documents, and each such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent, each Co-Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent to take such action
on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the Administrative Agent, such Co-Syndication Agent and the
Documentation Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Each of the Agents agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained
in this Section 12. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent, each
Co-Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Credit
Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent,
such Co-Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent. The provisions of this
Section 12 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each
Co-Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Lenders, and neither
Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and
duties under this Agreement, each of the Administrative Agent, each
Co-Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent shall act solely as agent of
the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any
obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries.

          12.02 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.

          12.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be
taken by it or such person in its capacity as an Agent under or in connection
with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (ii) responsible in any
manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, any

                                     -150-

<PAGE>

other Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any other Document or for any failure of Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to
any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any
of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or the other
Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries (except to the extent expressly requested to do so by the
Required Lenders). No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Document or for any representations,
warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written
or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports,
certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith
furnished or made by such Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries to any Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain
or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use
of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any
Default or Event of Default.

          12.04 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex
or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Holdings or any of
their respective Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to
take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it
shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it
deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the
Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

          12.05 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent
has actually received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default." In the event that any Agent receives such a
notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agents
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall
be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until
any Agent, shall have received such directions, such Agent, may (but shall not
be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interests of the Lenders.

          12.06 Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that no Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents,

                                     -151-

<PAGE>

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

          12.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in
its capacity as such ratably according with its "percentage" as used in
determining the Required Lenders at such time or, if the Commitments have
terminated and all Loans have been repaid in full, as determined immediately
prior to such termination and repayment (with such "percentages" to be
determined as if there are no Defaulting Lenders), from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel) or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any
time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the
Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in its
capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken
by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the
extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries; provided, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for the
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision). If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the
opinion of such Agent be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call
for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified
against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this
Section 12.07 shall survive the payment of all Obligations.

          12.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its
affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with Holdings and its Subsidiaries as though such Agent were
not an Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it and all Obligations
owing to it, each Agent shall have the same rights and

                                     -152-

<PAGE>

powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not an Agent and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include each Agent
in its individual capacity.

          12.09 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee
of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a
written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case
may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or
indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in
exchange therefor.

          12.10 Resignation of the Agents. (a) The Administrative Agent may
resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or
under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 30 Business Days' prior
written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 10.05 then exists, the Borrower. Any such resignation by an Agent
hereunder shall also constitute its resignation (if applicable) as a Letter of
Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Agent (x) shall
not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional
Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Letter of
Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any
Letter of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date
of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of
a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as
otherwise provided below.

          (b)   Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall
appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a
commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.

          (c)   If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so
appointed within such 30 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the
consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as
Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

          (d)   If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant
to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th Business Day after the date such notice
of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's
resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter
perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any
other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

          (e)   Each Co-Syndication Agent may resign from the performance of all
its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at
any time by giving five Business Days' prior written notice to the Lenders. Such
resignation shall take effect at the end of such five Business Day period. Upon
the effectiveness of the resignation of such Co-

                                     -153-

<PAGE>

Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent shall assume all of the functions
and duties of such Co-Syndication Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit
Documents.

          (f)   The Documentation Agent may resign from the performance of all
its functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at
any time by giving five Business Days' prior written notice to the Lenders. Such
resignation shall take effect at the end of such five Business Day period. Upon
the effectiveness of the resignation of the Documentation Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall assume all of the functions and duties of the
Documentation Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents.

          (g)   Upon a resignation of any Agent pursuant to this Section 12.10,
such Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such Agent for all of its actions and inactions
while serving as such Agent.

          12.11 Appointment of Collateral Agent as Administrator (Mexico). (a)
Each of the Lenders hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action
as agent on its behalf and for its benefit and to exercise such powers under
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to such
Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with powers as are
reasonably incidentally thereto. Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the
Lenders hereby grants in favor of the Collateral Agent a mandate (comision
mercantil), as referred to in Article 273 of the Mexican Code of Commerce
(Codigo de Comercio), pursuant to which the Collateral Agent is granted full
authority to carry out, on behalf and for the benefit of the Lenders, any and
all actions necessary to: (i) comply with and perform its obligations and duties
under the Mexican Pledge Agreement, including those arising under this
Agreement; and (ii) execute and deliver the Mexican Pledge Agreement and to
perform each and every obligation and duty set forth therein.

          (b)   If required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent, each Lender hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the
Collateral Agent, and register every pubic registry in Mexico in which such
registration is necessary, a notarized Mexican public deed appointing the
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and any officer or agent thereof, as its
attorney-in-fact for purposes of exercising the rights and remedies of such
party under this Agreement, the Mexican Pledge Agreement and/or any other Credit
Document which is required to be filed, presented or enforced before a Mexican
court or in connection with any filing, presentment or enforcement before a
Mexican court.

          13.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Credit Agreement Parties jointly
and severally agree to: (i) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
of the Agents (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of White & Case LLP and local counsel) in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the
documents and instruments referred to therein and any amendment, waiver or
consent relating thereto and in connection with the Agents' syndication efforts
with respect to this Agreement; (ii) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of each Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each of the Lenders in
connection with the enforcement

                                     -154-

<PAGE>

of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein
and, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
protection of the rights of each Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each of
the Lenders thereunder (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel (including in-house counsel) for each Agent, for each
Letter of Credit Issuer and for each of the Lenders); (iii) pay and hold each of
the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp and
other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save each of the
Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or
resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to
such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iv) indemnify each Agent, the Collateral
Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender, their respective officers,
directors, employees, representatives, trustees and agents from and hold each of
them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel) incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any
way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other
proceeding (whether or not any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Letter of Credit
Issuer or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not any such
investigation, litigation or other proceeding is between or among any Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, any Credit Party or
any third Person or otherwise) related to the entering into and/or performance
of this Agreement or any other Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans
hereunder or any drawing on any Letter of Credit or the Transaction or the
consummation of any other transactions contemplated in any Document (but
excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the
extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Person to be indemnified, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in
a final and non-appealable decision), or (b) the actual or alleged presence of
Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface
or subsurface of any Real Property or any Environmental Claim, in each case,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
and independent consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation,
litigation or other proceeding. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify,
pay or hold harmless any Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence
may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the
Credit Agreement Parties jointly and severally agree to make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified
liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. No person to be
indemnified shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of
any information or other materials obtained through Intralinks or other similar
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement. All amounts due under
this Section 13.01 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand
therefore. The agreements in this Section 13.01 shall survive the payment of all
Obligations.

          13.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any
such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Agent, each Letter
of Credit Issuer and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time
to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and
all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or
owing by such Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender (including,
without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Agent, such Letter of
Credit Issuer and such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the

                                     -155-

<PAGE>

account of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the
Obligations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to such Agent, such Letter of
Credit Issuer or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other
Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations of
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section
13.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or
connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of
whether or not such Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender shall
have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations shall be contingent
or unmatured.

          13.03 Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing
(including telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) and mailed,
telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered, if to any Credit Party,
at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant
Credit Documents, as the case may be; if to any Lender, at its address specified
for such Lender on Schedule II; or, at such other address as shall be designated
by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices
and communications shall be mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied or cabled
or sent by overnight courier, and shall be effective when received.

          (b)   Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to
confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the
Administrative Agent or CSFB (in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans) or
any Letter of Credit Issuer (in the case of the issuance of a Letter of Credit),
as the case may be, may prior to receipt of written confirmation act without
liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the
Administrative Agent or CSFB or any Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith to be
from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. In each such case, the Borrower
hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent's, CSFB's or such
Letter of Credit Issuer's record of the terms of such telephonic notice.

          13.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, no Credit Agreement Party may
assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under
any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of each of the
Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may grant
participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a "Lender" for
all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its
Commitments or Loans hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the
participant shall not constitute a "Lender" hereunder and, provided further,
that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the
participant shall have direct or indirect rights to approve any amendment to or
waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such
amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan,
Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond
the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon
(except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase
the amount of the participant's participation over the amount thereof then in
effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or
of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment

or of a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms
of such participation, that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be
permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant's
participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or
modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute
a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)),
(ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Agreement Party of any
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or
substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except
as expressly provided in the Security Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder
in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such
participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or
any of the other Credit Documents (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 Credit Agreement Party hereunder shall be determined as if such
Lender had not sold such participation.

          (b)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender
together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its
Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) and/or
its outstanding Term Loans (and if prior to the termination of the Total Term
Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitments) to (i) its parent company and/or any
affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its
parent company, (ii) one or more Lenders or (iii) in the case of any Lender that
is a fund that invests in bank loans or that manages (directly or through an
Affiliate) any fund that invests in bank loans, any fund that invests in bank
loans and is managed by the same investment advisor as a Lender, by an Affiliate
of such investment advisor or by a Lender, as the case may be, or (y) assign
all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 in the
aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Revolving Loan
Commitments (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) and outstanding
principal amount of Term Loans (and if prior to the termination of the Total
Term Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitments) to one or more Eligible Transferees
(treating (x) any fund that invests in bank loans and (y) any other fund that
invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor as such fund
or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, as a single Eligible Transferee),
each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by
execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that, (i) at such
time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or
outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the
existing Lenders, (ii) upon surrender of the old Notes (or the furnishing of a
standard indemnity letter from the respective assigning Lender in respect of any
lost Notes reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), new Notes will be issued, at
the Borrower's expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, such new
Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05 (with
appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised
Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent
of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment
pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) (such consent, in any such case, not to be
reasonably withheld or delayed), (iv) so long as no Specified Default and no
Event of Default is then in existence, the Borrower shall be required in
connection with any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (y)
of this Section 13.04(b) (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be
required in connection with assignments by CSFB pursuant to clause (y) of this
Section 13.04(b) consummated within 45

<PAGE>

days of the Initial Borrowing Date to financial institutions previously
identified by CSFB to the Borrower, (v) the consent of each Letter of Credit
Issuer shall be required in connection with any assignment of a Revolving Loan
Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations) pursuant to this Section
13.04(b) (which consent, in any such case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and (vi) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each
assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a
non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and, provided further, that such
transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the
Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.17. To the extent of
any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be
relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments
and/or outstanding Term Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this
Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which
is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender
shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate
Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable a Section 4.04(b)(ii)
Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of
all or any portion of a Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding
Obligations pursuant to Section 1.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, due to
circumstances existing at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs
under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04 from those being charged by the
respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall
not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be
obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting
from changes after the date of the respective assignment). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above, at any time after the termination of
the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, if any Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit
remain outstanding, assignments may be made as provided above, except that the
respective assignment shall be of a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans
of the respective RL Lender and its participation in Letters of Credit and its
obligation to make Mandatory Borrowings, although any such assignment effected
after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not release
the assigning RL Lender from its obligations as a Participant with respect to
outstanding Letters of Credit or to fund its share of any Mandatory Borrowing
(although the respective assignee may agree, as between itself and the
respective assigning RL Lender, that it shall be responsible for such amounts).
Without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Credit-Linked Deposit
funded by any PF Lender shall not be released in connection with any assignment
of its PF Letter of Credit Commitment, but shall instead be purchased by the
relevant assignee and continue to be held for application (if not already
applied) pursuant to Section 2.03(c) in respect of such assignee's obligations
under the PF Letter of Credit Commitment assigned to it.

          (c)   Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender
or CSFB from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in
support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and,
with notice to the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge
all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee in support of its
obligations to its trustee. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release
the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder and in no event
shall any assignee or pledgee by considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to
require the assigning Lender to take or omit any action hereunder.

          13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part
of any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power
or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of
dealing between any Credit Party and any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit
Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies
herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise
have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any
Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agents, the Collateral
Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand.

          13.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Administrative Agent agrees that
promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party
in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, distribute such payment to the Lenders
(other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share
of such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the
Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

          (b)   Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount
hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the
exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross
action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or
otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest
on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the
related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than
the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total
of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to
such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for
cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the
Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as
shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such
amount; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter
recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be
furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved
(except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing
by Holdings to the Lenders); provided, that except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, all computations determining the Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio
and the Total Leverage Ratio and compliance with Sections 4.02, 8.15 and 9,
including definitions used therein shall, in each case, utilize accounting
principles and policies in effect at the time of the preparation of, and in
conformity with those used to prepare, the December 31, 2002 financial
statements of Holdings delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.10(b);
provided further, that (i) to the extent expressly required pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma
Basis, (ii) any determination of Consolidated Interest Expense for any portion
of any Test Period which ends prior to the Initial Borrowing Date shall be
calculated in accordance with the definition of Test Period contained

                                     -159-

<PAGE>

herein and (iii) for purposes of calculating the Applicable Margins, financial
ratios, financial terms, all covenants and related definitions, all such
calculations based on the operations of Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis shall be made without giving effect to the operations of any
Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

          (b)   All computations of interest and Fees hereunder shall be made on
the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

          13.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue. (a) THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding
with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be brought in
the courts of the State of New York or of the United States for the Southern
District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each
Credit Agreement Party hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of
its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts. Each Credit Agreement Party hereby further irrevocably waives any claim
that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such Credit Agreement Party, and
agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to
this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in any of the aforesaid
courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such Credit Agreement Party.
Each Credit Agreement Party further irrevocably consents to the service of
process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Credit Agreement Party,
at its address for notices pursuant to Section 13.03, such service to become
effective 30 days after such mailing. Each Credit Agreement Party hereby
irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding
commenced hereunder or under any other Credit Document that service of process
was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of
any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or
otherwise proceed against any Credit Party in any other jurisdiction.

          (b)   Each Credit Agreement Party hereby irrevocably waives any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of
the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in
clause (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead
or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each

The Administrative Agent will give Holdings, the Borrower and each Lender prompt

          13.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and

any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

          13.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any
other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is
in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto and the
Required Lenders, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination
shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) (with
Obligations being directly affected thereby in the case of the following clause
(i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the
stated maturity of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date,
or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a
result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates) or Fees thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof (it
being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions
in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or
fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such
amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction), (ii) release
(x) all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in
the Security Documents) under all the Security Documents or (y) all or
substantially all of the Guarantors from the Subsidiaries Guaranty, (iii) amend,
modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12 (except for technical
amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this
Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit
of the type provided to the Term Loans, the Revolving Loan Commitments and the
PF Letter of Credit Commitments on the Effective Date), (iv) reduce the
percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood
that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit
pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required
Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans,
Revolving Loan Commitments and PF Letter of Credit Commitments are included on
the Effective Date), (v) amend or modify Section 13.06 in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or (vi) consent to the
assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided further, that no
such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (s) amend, modify or waive
any condition precedent set forth in Section 6A or 6B with respect to the making
of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit,
without the written consent of the Majority Lenders holding Revolving Loan
Commitments, (t) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof
then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that
waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events
of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not
constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in
the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an
increase in the Commitment of such Lender), (u) without the consent of each
Letter of Credit Issuer, amend,

                                     -161-

modify or waive any provision of Section 2 or alter its rights or obligations
with respect to Letters of Credit, (v) without the consent of CSFB, alter its

or obligations of such Agent, (x) without the consent of the Collateral Agent,
amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of
the Collateral Agent, (y) without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders of a
relevant Tranche, reduce the amount of or extend the date of, any Scheduled
Repayment (except that, if additional Loans are made pursuant to a given
Tranche, the Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche may be increased on a
proportionate basis without the consent otherwise required by this clause (y)),
or (z) amend the definition of Supermajority Lenders (it being understood that,
with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit
pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the
Supermajority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans
and Commitments are included on the Effective Date).

          (b)   If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by
clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a),
the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more
of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the
Borrower shall have the right, on and after the Term Loan Commitment Termination
Date, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required
are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A)
replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the
Borrower if the respective Lender's consent is required with respect to less
than all Tranches (or related Commitments), to replace only the respective
Tranche of Commitments and/or related Obligations of the respective
non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender's
individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section
1.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender
consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B)
terminate such non-consenting Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment (if such
Lender's consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment), PF
Letter of Credit Commitment (if such Lender's consent is required as a result of
its PF Letter of Credit Commitment) and/or repay each Tranche of outstanding
Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender's consent
and/or cash collateralize its applicable Percentage of the Letter of Credit
Outstandings, in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and/or 4.01(vi), provided
that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid
pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time
through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or
outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically
consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause
(B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed
action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that the Borrower
shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay
its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender's rights (and the
withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second
proviso to Section 13.12(a).

          13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without
limitation, in Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05, 4.04, 12.07 and 13.01, shall, subject
to the provisions of Section 13.18

                                     -162-

(to the extent applicable), survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the making and repayment of the Loans.

          13.14 Domicile of Loans and Commitments. Each Lender may transfer and
carry its Loans and/or Commitments at, to or for the account of any branch
office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender; provided, that the Borrower
shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or
4.04 resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section
1.12) to the extent such costs would not otherwise be applicable to such Lender
in the absence of such transfer.

          13.15 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it will use
its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of Holdings
(other than to its directors, trustees, employees, officers, auditors, counsel
or other professional advisors, to affiliates or to another Lender if the Lender
or such Lender's holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines
that any such party should have access to such information, provided that such
persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.15 to the same
extent as such Lender) any information with respect to Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries which is furnished by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant
to this Agreement; provided, that any Lender may disclose any such information
(a) which is publicly known at the time of the disclosure or which has become
generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate (x) in
any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal
regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to
the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their
successors or (y) in connection with any request or requirement of any such
regulatory body (including any securities exchange or self-regulatory
organization), (c) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons
or subpoena or in connection with any litigation or other legal process, (d) to
comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, and
(e) to any prospective transferee in connection with any contemplated transfer
of any of the Notes or any interest therein by such Lender; provided, that such
prospective transferee agrees to be bound by this Section 13.15 to the same
extent as such Lender.

          (b)   Each Credit Agreement Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that
each Lender may share with any of its affiliates any information related to such
Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without
limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of
such Credit Agreement Party and its Subsidiaries), provided that such Persons
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.15 to the same extent as
such Lender.

          (c)   Each Credit Party hereby represents and acknowledges that, to
the best of its knowledge, neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any employees
or agents of, or other persons affiliated with, any Agent or any Lender, have
directly or indirectly made or provided any statement (oral or written) to such
Credit Party or to any of its employees or agents, or other persons affiliated
with or related to such Credit Party (or, so far as such Credit Party is aware,
to any other person), as to the potential tax consequences of the Transaction.

                                     -163-

<PAGE>

          (d)   Neither the Agents nor the Lenders provide accounting, tax or
legal advice. Notwithstanding any express or implied claims of exclusivity or
proprietary rights, each Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree
and acknowledge that each Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender (and each of
their employees, representatives or other agents) are authorized to disclose to
any and all persons, beginning immediately upon commencement of their
discussions and without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax
structure of the Transaction, and all materials of any kind (including opinions
or other tax analyses) that are provided to any Credit Party, any Agent or any
Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. In this regard, each
Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender acknowledge and agree that the
disclosure of the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction is not
limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or
written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding). For
purposes of this authorization, "tax" means United States Federal income tax,
"tax treatment" means the purported or claimed Federal income tax treatment of
the transaction, and "tax structure" means any fact that may be relevant to
understanding the purported or claimed Federal income tax treatment of the
transaction. This paragraph is intended to reflect the understanding of each
Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender that the Transaction is not a
"confidential transaction" as that phrase is used in Treasury Regulation Section
1.6011-4(b)(3)(i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
Nothing herein is intended to imply that any of each Credit Party, each Agent
and each Lender made or provided a statement, oral or written, to, or for the
benefit of, any of each other as to any potential tax consequences that are
related to, or may result from, the Transaction.

          13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING
OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

          13.17 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative
Agent to serve as the Borrower's agent, solely for purposes of this Section
13.17, to maintain a register (the "Register") on which it will record the
Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of
the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans
of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such
recordation shall not affect the Borrower's obligations in respect of such
Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Commitment of such Lender
and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan shall not be
effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and
prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to
such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. Subject to the
provisions of Section 1.13, the registration of assignment or transfer of all or
part of any Commitment and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent
on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a
properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to
Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration
of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Commitment and/or Loan, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender
the Note evidencing such Commitment and/or Loan, and thereupon one or more new
Notes in the same aggregate principal

                                     -164-

<PAGE>

amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new
Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature
which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative
Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.17.

          13.18 Limitation on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04 of this Agreement,
unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an
amount under such Section within six months after the later of (x) the date the
Lender incurs the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability,
reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or
(y) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the
respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in
amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such

          All provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents
(including, without limitation, all conditions precedent, representations,
warranties, covenants, events of default and other agreements herein and
therein) shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the
foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the
time periods, required above, rather than as otherwise provided in the Credit
Documents); provided, that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty
would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Initial
Borrowing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to
be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action
is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 13.19, (y) all representations and warranties
relating to the Collateral Documents shall be required to be true immediately
after the actions required to be taken by Section 13.19 have been taken (or were
required to be taken) and (z) the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute
discretion may extend any of the time periods set forth in this Section 13.19,
but in no event shall any time period be extended beyond the 90th day following
the Initial Borrowing Date. The acceptance of the benefits of the Loans shall
constitute a representation, warranty and covenant by each Credit Agreement
Party to each of the Lenders that the actions required pursuant to this Section
13.19 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time periods referred to
in this Section 13.19 and that, at such time, all representations and warranties
contained in this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall then be
true and correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.19. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions
required above, within the relevant time periods required above, shall give rise
to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.

          SECTION 14. Holdings Guaranty.

          14.01 Holdings Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into
this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct
benefits to be received by Holdings from the proceeds of the Loans and the
issuance of the Letters of Credit, Holdings hereby agrees with the Lenders as
follows: Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary
obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether
upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed
Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guaranteed
Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder,
Holdings unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed
Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be
incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed
Obligations. This Holdings Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to
which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively
presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim is ever made upon any
Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received
in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the
aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any

                                     -166-

<PAGE>

judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having
jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or
compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant
(including the Borrower), then and in such event Holdings agrees that any such
judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon
Holdings, notwithstanding any revocation of this Holdings Guaranty or any other
instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and Holdings shall be and
remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been
received by any such payee.

          14.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, Holdings unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations
to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon
the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 10.05, and
unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors,
or order, on demand.

          14.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of Holdings hereunder is
exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the
Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by Holdings, any other guarantor or by
any other party, and the liability of Holdings hereunder is not affected or
impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by
any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or
maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed
Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or
undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change
in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed
Creditors on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor
repays to the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and
Holdings waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations
hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

          14.04 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or
unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any
security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Holdings
Guaranty, and this Holdings Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and
unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of
any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of
a surety or guarantor except payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The
obligations of Holdings hereunder are independent of the obligations of the
Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against Holdings whether or not action is
brought against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person and
whether or not the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person be joined
in any such action or actions. Holdings waives, to the full extent permitted by
law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder
or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance
which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall
operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Holdings.

          14.05 Authorization. Holdings authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors
without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and
cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder,
from time to time to:

                                     -167-

<PAGE>

          (a)   change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change
     or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any
     of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the
     rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred
     directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Holdings Guaranty made
     shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed
     or altered;

          (b)   take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed
     Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or
     otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by
     whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever
     securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of
     those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or
     hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

          (c)   exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the
     Borrower or others, or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

          (d)   release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the
     Borrower or other obligors;

          (e)   settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any
     security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder)
     incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may
     subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any
     liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to its creditors other than
     the Guaranteed Creditors;

          (f)   apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any
     liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors
     regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

          (g)   consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or
     default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any of the
     instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise
     amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document or
     any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

          (h)   take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable
     principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of
     Holdings from its liabilities under this Holdings Guaranty.

          14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to
inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors,
partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any
Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise
of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

          14.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the Borrower now or
hereafter owing to Holdings is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations
of the Borrower owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative
Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such
indebtedness of the Borrower to Holdings shall be collected, enforced

                                     -168-

<PAGE>

and received by Holdings for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid
over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower to the Guaranteed
Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of
Holdings under the other provisions of this Holdings Guaranty. Prior to the
transfer by Holdings of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the
indebtedness of the Borrower to Holdings, Holdings shall mark such note or
negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this
subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings hereby
agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of
subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings
Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full
in cash.

          14.08 Waiver. (a) Holdings waives any right (except as shall be
required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed
Creditor to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other
party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any
other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any
Guaranteed Creditor's power whatsoever. Holdings waives any defense based on or
arising out of any defense of the Borrower any other guarantor or any other
party, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or
arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other
party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof
from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower
other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed
Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by
one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any
such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by
applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors
may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without
affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Holdings hereunder except to
the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Holdings waives any
defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even
though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy of Holdings against the Borrower or any
other party or any security.

          (b)   Holdings waives all presentments, demands for performance,
protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance,
notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Holdings
Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or
additional Guaranteed Obligations. Holdings assumes all responsibility for being
and keeping itself informed of the Borrower's financial condition and assets,
and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which
Holdings assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors
shall have no duty to advise Holdings of information known to them regarding
such circumstances or risks.

          (c)   Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in
full in cash or Cash Equivalents, Holdings hereby waives all rights of
subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Holdings
Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or
otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against the

                                     -169-

<PAGE>

Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations and all
contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or
indemnity from the Borrower or any other guarantor which it may at any time
otherwise have as a result of this Holdings Guaranty.

          (d)   Holdings warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth
above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that
if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of
public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent
permitted by law.

          14.09 Payment. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this Section
14 shall be made in Dollars. All payments made by Holdings pursuant to this
Section 14 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

                                     -170-
