$250,000,000 in cash proceeds from the issuance by Parent (or a finance vehicle
subsidiary as the initial issuer thereof) of senior notes (the foregoing clauses
(a) through (d), the "Financing Transactions");

            WHEREAS, Parent, Holdings and the Borrower have requested that the
Existing Lenders amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement as provided in
this Agreement and that the Lenders with Tranche B-1 Commitments (as defined
below) make available the Tranche B-1 Term Loans; and

            WHEREAS, the Lenders with Tranche B-1 Commitments are willing to
provide the Tranche B-1 Term Loans and the Lenders are willing to amend and
restate the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth
herein.

            NOW THEREFORE, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

            1. The parties hereto hereby agree that on the Restatement Effective
Date (as defined below) the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and
restated in the form attached hereto as Annex I (as so amended and restated, the
"Restated Credit Agreement"). It is understood and agreed that the Restated
Credit Agreement will be dated as of the Restatement Effective Date.

<PAGE>

            2. Each Lender with a Tranche B-1 Commitment amount specified
opposite its name on Schedule I agrees to make term loans (the "Tranche B-1 Term
Loans") on and after the Restatement Effective Date to the Borrower in the
aggregate principal amount specified as its Tranche B-1 Commitment on Schedule I
in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 2.01(a) of the Restated Credit
Agreement.

            3. The Lenders hereby direct and authorize JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (together with any other Lender as
required) to effect amendments reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. to the Loan Documents other than the Existing Credit Agreement to give
effect to the Restated Credit Agreement, and to terminate the Parent Agreement
effective as of the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to documentation in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the
Administrative Agent agrees to so terminate the Parent Agreement).

            4. This Agreement shall become effective (the "AAR Effective Date")
on the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have received, in the case
of RHD Corp., a counterpart to this Agreement and, in the case of the Required
Lenders under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement and each Lender
with a Tranche B-1 Commitment, a Lender Addendum.

            5. The Restated Credit Agreement shall become effective on the date
on which all of the conditions specified below shall have been satisfied (the
"Restatement Effective Date"):

            (a) Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have received (i)
an executed counterpart to the Restated Credit Agreement by Parent, Holdings and
the Borrower and (ii) a counterpart to any amendments or acknowledgments to the
Security Documents as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or
appropriate in order to provide the benefits thereof to the Loans and the
obligations of the Loan Parties in connection therewith on the same basis as
such benefits are provided to the Existing Lenders for the purpose of securing
obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement.

            (b) Parent Acquisition. The Parent Acquisition shall have been, or
shall substantially contemporaneously be, consummated in accordance with the
Merger Agreement, and no material provision of the Merger Agreement shall have
been waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in a manner that is
material and adverse to the Lenders without the consent of the Administrative
Agent.

            (c) Lien Searches. The Administrative Agent shall have received the
results of a recent Lien search in each of the jurisdictions where assets of
Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are located (within the
meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code), and such search shall reveal no liens
on any of the assets of Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
except for liens permitted by Section 6.02 of the Restated Credit Agreement or
discharged on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to
documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

            (d) Closing Certificate. The Administrative Agent shall have
received a certificate of each Loan Party, dated the Restatement Effective Date
with appropriate insertions and attachments including the certificate of
incorporation of each Loan Party that is a corporation certified by the relevant
authority of the jurisdiction of organization of such Loan Party, and a long
form good standing certificate for each Loan Party from its jurisdiction of
organization.

            (e) Legal Opinions. The Administrative Agent shall have received the
legal opinion of Jones Day, counsel to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
covering such matters incident to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

            (f) Pledged Stock; Stock Powers; Pledged Notes. To the extent not

thereof and (ii) each promissory note (if any) pledged to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Collateral Agreement endorsed (without recourse) in blank (or
accompanied by an executed transfer form in blank) by the pledgor thereof.

            (g) Filings, Registrations and Recordings. Each document (including
any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement) required by the Security
Documents or under law or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to be
filed, registered or recorded in order to create or maintain in favor of the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a perfected Lien on the
Collateral described therein, prior and superior in right to any other Person
(other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02 of the
Restated Credit Agreement), shall have been executed and delivered (if
applicable) and be in proper form for filing, registering or recording.

            (h) Solvency Certificate. The Administrative Agent shall have
received a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Borrower certifying
as to the solvency of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, on the Restatement
Effective Date.

            (i) Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and
warranties made by any Loan Party in Sections 3.02, 3.03(b), 3.18 and 3.19 of
the Restated Credit Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects
(it being understood that, notwithstanding anything contained herein, the
Restated Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no other
representations and warranties shall be made on the Restatement Effective Date).

            (j) Schedules to the Restated Credit Agreement. The Lenders shall
have received schedules to the Restated Credit Agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to it.

            6. RHD Corp. shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender with a Tranche B-1 Commitment a commitment
fee, which shall accrue at 0.375% per annum on the daily unused amount of the
Tranche B-1 Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the
AAR Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of (i) the Restatement Effective
Date and (ii) the termination of the Tranche B-1 Commitments. Accrued commitment
fees shall be payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) the Restatement Effective
Date and (ii) the termination of the Tranche B-1 Commitments. All commitment
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day).

            7. RHD Corp. may at any time, without premium or penalty, terminate,
or from time to time reduce, the Tranche B-1 Commitments; provided that each
reduction of the Tranche B-1 Commitments shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. RHD Corp. shall
notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Tranche B-1 Commitments under this Section at least three Business Days prior to
the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election
and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each

notice delivered by RHD Corp. pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. Any
termination or reduction of the Tranche B-1 Commitments shall be permanent. Each
reduction of the Tranche B-1 Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Tranche B-1 Commitments.

            8. The Lenders hereby confirm and agree that notwithstanding
anything contained in the Existing Credit Agreement to the contrary, (i) Parent
may enter into and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement, (ii)
Parent may form and hold a subsidiary (the "Financing Subsidiary") for the
purpose of being the initial issuer of debt securities that will constitute New
Parent Notes (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) upon the merger of
the Financing Subsidiary with and into Parent in connection with the financing
of the Parent Acquisition and (iii) Parent or the Financing Subsidiary, as
applicable, is permitted to incur any Indebtedness created by such New Parent
Notes notwithstanding the PHD Issuance Conditions to the contrary and in
connection therewith may grant liens on the proceeds of such notes in favor of
the purchasers thereof and/or escrow agent to the extent such notes are closed
in escrow.

            9. This Agreement is limited as specified and shall not constitute a
modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Existing Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document.

            10. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of
counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

            11. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

                                   THE CREDITS

                  Section 2.01 Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, (i) on the Restatement Effective Date, each Lender
agrees to continue any outstanding Term Loans, if any, made by it under the
Original Credit Agreement, each continued Term Loan to constitute a Tranche A
Term Loan or Tranche B Term Loan to the extent so constituted under the Original
Credit Agreement and to remain subject to the same Interest Period applicable to
them immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date and/or (ii) on and
after the Restatement Effective Date, each Tranche B-1 Lender agrees to make
Tranche B-1 Term Loans to the Borrower during the Tranche B-1 Term Loan
Availability Period in not more than two draws in an aggregate amount not to
exceed for both such draws the respective amount set forth opposite its name on
Schedule I to the Agreement to Amend and Restate under the heading "Tranche B-1
Commitment".

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

      outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date, continue) Revolving Loans
      to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period
      in an aggregate principal amount that will not (after giving effect to any
      concurrent use of the proceeds thereof to repay Swingline Loans or LC
      Disbursements) result in such Lender's Revolving Exposure exceeding such
      Lender's Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to
      the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay
      and reborrow Revolving Loans.

Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the
same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to
make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are
several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to
make Loans as required.

                      (b)Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing and
      Term Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar

      time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be

      in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
      less than $5,000,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in
      an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the
      total Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the
      reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) .
      Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
      $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding
      at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a
      total of 25 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

                      (d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
      the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or
      continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect
      thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity Date, Tranche A Maturity
      Date, Tranche B Maturity Date or Tranche B-1 Maturity Date, as applicable.

                  Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. (a) To request funding

Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an

City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing

                      (vi) the location and number of the Borrower's account to
            which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the
            requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall
be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the
amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

                  Section 2.04 Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans
to the Borrower from time to time during

<PAGE>

                                                                              35

the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $5,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total
Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; provided that the
Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an
outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow
Swingline Loans.

                       (b)To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify
      the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by
      telecopy), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a
      proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
      specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of
      the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly
      advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower.
      The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the
      Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the
      Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan
      made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
      Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York
      City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

                       (c)The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to
      the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on

      of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each
      Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's Applicable
      Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby
      absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided
      above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
      Swingline Lender, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline
      Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
      obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this
      paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
      circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a
      Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such
      payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
      reduction whatsoever; provided that no Lender shall be required to acquire
      a participation in any Swingline Loan to the extent that doing so would
      cause the Revolving Exposure of such Lender to exceed such Lender's
      Revolving Commitment. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its
      obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available
      funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to
      Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis,
      to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the
      Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the
      amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative
      Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline
      Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in
      respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent
      and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline
      Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in
      respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the
      proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to
      the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative
      Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
      Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this
      paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear;
      provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the
      Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to
      the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any
      reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to
      this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the
      payment thereof.

terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of
Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of any Subsidiary, in a

between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions
of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the
Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to
any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

                       (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension;
      Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the
      amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the
      Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic
      communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
      Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably
      in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
      extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
      identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and
      specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which
      shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to
      expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount
      of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof
      and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew
      or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the
      Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing
      Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of
      Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended
      only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter
      of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that),
      after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i)
      the LC Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving
      Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

                       (c)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at
      or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year
      after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case
      of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
      extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the
      Revolving Maturity Date.

                       (d)Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit
      (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and
      without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders,
      the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each
      Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in
      such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the
      aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In
      consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender
      hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative
      Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable
      Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not
      reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of
      this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to
      the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees
      that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph
      in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall
      not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,
      renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and
      continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments,
      and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
      withholding or reduction whatsoever; provided that no Lender shall be
      required to acquire a participation in any Letter of Credit to the extent
      that doing so would cause the Revolving Exposure of such Lender to exceed
      such Lender's Revolving Commitment.

                                                                              36

                       (e)Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC
      Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall
      reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an
      amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York
      City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower
      shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m.,
      New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received
      by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00
      noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower
      receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New
      York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day
      immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if
      such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt;
      provided that (whether or not the conditions in Section 4.01 are satisfied
      or a Default exists) each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
      shall have the absolute and unconditional right to require that such
      payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in
      an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower's
      obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the
      resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails
      to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
      Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due
      from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender's Applicable
      Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each
      Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable
      Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner
      as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
      Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of
      the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to
      the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.
      Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from
      the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall
      distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
      Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
      reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as
      their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender
      pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC
      Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline
      Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not
      relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

                       (f)Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligation to
      reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section
      shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
      strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
      circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
      enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or
      provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a
      Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
      respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
      respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
      against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
      strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event
      or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
      foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute
      a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
      the Borrower's obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent,
      the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or any of their Related Parties shall have
      any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
      issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to
      make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances
      referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
      interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft,
      notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
      (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error
      in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from
      causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the
      provisions of this Section 2.05(f) shall not be construed to excuse the
      Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct
      damages (as opposed to consequential

<PAGE>

                                                                              37

      damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to
      the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are
      caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining
      whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit
      comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in
      the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the
      Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction),
      the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such
      determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
      generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
      presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with
      the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole
      discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
      responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
      information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon
      such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
      terms of such Letter of Credit.

                       (g)Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall,
      promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting
      to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing
      Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by
      telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether
      the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder;
      provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
      relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and
      the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

                       (h)Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any
      LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC
      Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid
      amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the
      date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the
      Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then
      applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to
      reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
      Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to
      this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that
      interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender
      pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank
      shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

                       (i)Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may
      be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the
      Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing
      Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such
      replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall
      become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the
      account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and
      after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor
      Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank
      under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued
      thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be
      deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to
      such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall
      require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced
      Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all
      the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
      respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but
      shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

                       (j)Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default under
      clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII shall occur and be continuing
      or if the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Article VII as a result
      of any other Event of Default, on the Business Day that the Borrower
      receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or,
      if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with
      LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC

<PAGE>

                                                                              38

      Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this
      paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
      Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
      benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of
      such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the
      obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective
      immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable,
      without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any
      Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or
      (i) of Article VII. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral
      pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section
      2.11(b). Each such deposit under this Section or Section 2.11(b) shall be
      held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
      performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, and
      the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
      Parties, a security interest in all funds and investments from time to
      time in such account, and in the proceeds thereof, to secure the
      Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and
      control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.
      Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which
      investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the
      Administrative Agent and at the Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits
      shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments
      shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied
      by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC
      Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not
      so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement
      obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the
      maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of
      Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the
      total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the
      Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an
      amount of cash collateral under this Section 2.05(j) as a result of the
      occurrence of an Event of Default specified above, such amount (to the
      extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within
      three Business Days after the applicable Events of Default have been cured
      or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
      collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the
      extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and
      to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would
      remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Default shall have
      occurred and be continuing.

                  Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make
each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire
transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to
the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as
provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans
available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like
funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in
New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made to finance
the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

                       (b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
      notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such
      Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's
      share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
      Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
      paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
      make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a
      Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
      available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
      Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
      demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from
      and including the

<PAGE>

                                                                              39

      date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the
      date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such
      Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
      determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
      rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the
      interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to
      the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's
      Loan included in such Borrowing.

                  Section 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing
and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such
portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply
to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

                       (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the
      Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by
      telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under
      Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the
      Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such
      election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be
      irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy
      to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a
      form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

                       (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request
      shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

                         (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election
            Request applies and, if different options are being elected with
            respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be
            allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information
            to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
            specified for each resulting Borrowing);

                         (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant
            to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

                         (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR
            Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

                         (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar
            Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving
            effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the
            definition of the term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

                       (d)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election
      Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details
      thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

                                                                              40

                       (e)If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest
      Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end
      of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is
      repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
      Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any
      contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
      continuing then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no
      outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
      Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
      converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
      thereto.

                  Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) To
the extent not previously terminated, the Tranche B-1 Commitments shall
terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 30, 2006, and the Revolving
Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

                       (b)The Borrower may at any time, without premium or
      penalty, terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any
      Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class
      shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
      less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce
      the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
      prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum
      of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

                       (c)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
      any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of
      this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of
      such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective
      date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative
      Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice
      delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
      provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments
      delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon
      the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice
      may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on
      or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
      satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class
      shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall
      be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
      Commitments of such Class.

                  Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to
the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on
the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such
Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is
at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on
each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all
Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

                       (b)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its
      usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the
      Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender,
      including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
      Lender from time to time hereunder.

                       (c)The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in
      which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the
      Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable

<PAGE>

                                                                              41

      thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or
      to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and
      (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder
      for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

                       (d)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant
      to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of
      the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided
      that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain
      such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
      obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms
      of this Agreement.

                       (e)Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by
      it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall
      prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to
      the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender
      and its registered assigns) and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
      Administrative Agent. Such promissory note shall state that it is subject
      to the provisions of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by
      such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including
      after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more
      promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named
      therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee
      and its registered assigns).

                  Section 2.10 Amortization of Term Loans. (a) Subject to
adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall
repay Tranche A Term Borrowings on each date set forth below in an amount equal
to the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Loans
continued on the Restatement Effective Date set forth opposite such date (each
such date being called an "Installment Date"):

                       (e)(i) Any mandatory or optional prepayment of a Tranche
      A Term Borrowing shall be applied first to reduce the first scheduled
      payment to become due under Section 2.10(a) and, thereafter, to reduce
      subsequent scheduled repayments of Tranche A Term Borrowings to be made
      pursuant to Section 2.10(a) ratably, (ii) any mandatory or optional
      prepayment of a Tranche B Term Borrowing shall be applied to reduce the
      subsequent scheduled payments of the Tranche B Term Borrowings to be made
      pursuant to Section 2.10(b) ratably and (iii) any mandatory or optional
      prepayment of a Tranche B-1 Term Borrowing shall be applied to reduce the
      subsequent scheduled payments of the Tranche B-1 Term Borrowings to be
      made pursuant to Section 2.10(c) ratably.

                       (f)Prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings of
      either Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or
      Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the
      Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such
      selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business
      Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a
      Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid
      Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued
      interest on the amount repaid.

                  Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have
the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or
in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an
aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $5,000,000 (or $500,000 or more, in the case of Swingline Loans) or,
if less, the amount outstanding, subject to the requirements of this Section.

                       (b)In the event and on such occasion that the sum of the
      Revolving Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, the Borrower
      shall prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such
      Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the
      Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount
      equal to such excess.

                       (c)In the event and on each occasion that any Net
      Proceeds (other than any Net Proceeds from (i) the issuance of the New
      Parent Notes and (ii) any Put Financing) are received by or on behalf of
      the Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any
      Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, not later than the Business Day next
      after the date on which such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term
      Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the Required Percentage of such
      Net Proceeds or, in the case of an Equity Issuance by the Parent or a
      Damages Event, the Required Percentage of the Allocable Net Proceeds of
      such Prepayment Event; provided that, in the case of any Asset
      Disposition, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
      certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower or a
      Subsidiary intends to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion
      thereof specified in such certificate), within 365 days after receipt of
      such Net Proceeds, to acquire real property, equipment or other assets to
      be used in the business of the Borrower or such Subsidiaries or to fund a
      Permitted Acquisition in accordance with the terms of Section 6.04, and
      certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no
      prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the
      Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds
      specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any
      such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of
      such 365-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an
      amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied. For
      purposes hereof, "Required Percentage" shall mean: (i) in the case of an
      Asset Disposition or a Damages Event, 100%; (ii) in the case of a Debt
      Issuance, (A) if on the date of the relevant issuance, the Pro Forma
      Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.0 to 1.0, 100% or (B) if on the date of
      the relevant

<PAGE>

                                                                              44

      issuance, the Pro Forma Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.0 to
      1.0, 0% (it being understood that a portion of such Net Proceeds from a
      Debt Issuance may be applied so as to reduce such Pro Forma Leverage Ratio
      to less than 4.0 to 1.0, and that the Required Percentage for the
      remainder of such Net Proceeds shall be 0%); and (iii) in the case of an
      Equity Issuance, (A) if on the date of the relevant prepayment, the Pro
      Forma Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.0 to 1.0, 50% or (B) on the date of
      the relevant prepayment, the Pro Forma Leverage Ratio is less than or
      equal to 4.0 to 1.0, 0% (it being understood that a portion of such Net
      Proceeds from an Equity Issuance may be applied so as to reduce such Pro
      Forma Leverage Ratio to less than 4.0 to 1.0, and that the Required
      Percentage for the remainder of such Net Proceeds shall be 0%).

                       (d)Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower,
      commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, the Borrower
      will prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to (i) 50% of
      Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year less (ii) any voluntary prepayments
      of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) during such fiscal year;
      provided that, with respect to each such fiscal year ending on or after
      December 31, 2005, no such prepayment of Term Borrowings shall be required
      if the Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is less than 5.0
      to 1.0. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or
      before the date on which financial statements are delivered pursuant to
      Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is
      being calculated (and in any event within 100 days after the end of such
      fiscal year).

                       (e)In the event and on each occasion that any Optional
      Repurchase is made pursuant to Section 6.08(b)(vii)(y), the Borrower shall
      on the last day of each fiscal quarter prepay Term Borrowings in an
      aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amounts expended on such Optional
      Repurchases during such fiscal quarter; provided, however, that if the
      amount expended on any such Optional Repurchase when taken together with
      the aggregate amounts expended on all other such Optional Repurchases in
      respect of which a prepayment of Term Borrowings has not yet been made
      under this paragraph (e) (the "Cumulative Amount") is greater than
      $20,000,000, the Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate
      amount equal to the Cumulative Amount not later than the date on which
      such Optional Repurchase is made.

                       (f)Prior to any optional or, subject to Sections 2.11(c),
      (d) and (e), mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower
      shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify
      such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (g)
      of this Section. In the event of any optional or mandatory prepayment of
      Term Borrowings made at a time when Term Borrowings of more than one Class
      remain outstanding, the Borrower shall select Term Borrowings to be
      prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated
      between the Tranche A Term Borrowings, Tranche B Term Borrowings and
      Tranche B-1 Term Borrowings pro rata based on the aggregate principal
      amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class; provided that, so
      long as and to the extent that any Tranche A Term Borrowings remain
      outstanding, any Tranche B Lender or Tranche B-1 Lender, as the case may
      be, may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone
      (confirmed by telecopy) at least one Business Day prior to the prepayment
      date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its respective
      Tranche B Term Loans or Tranche B-1 Term Loans pursuant to this Section
      (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
      Section, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of
      the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Tranche B Term Loans
      or Tranche B-1 Term Loans, as the case may be, but was so declined shall
      be applied to prepay Tranche A Term Borrowings.

                       (g)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent
      (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender)
      by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in
      the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00

                                                                              45

      p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of
      prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later
      than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of
      prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not
      later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each
      such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date,
      the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid
      and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed
      calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice
      of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of
      termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08,
      then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of
      termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following
      receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to
      Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
      contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an
      amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of
      the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply
      fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment or to prepay such
      Borrowing in full. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably
      to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be
      accompanied by accrued interest and other amounts to the extent required
      by Sections 2.13 and 2.16.

                  Section 2.12 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee,
which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of each
Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the
Original Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on
the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the
dates on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such
date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes
of computing commitment fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving
Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the
outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline
Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

                       (b)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
      for the account of each Lender with a Tranche B-1 Commitment a commitment
      fee, which shall accrue at 0.375% per annum on the daily unused amount of
      the Tranche B-1 Commitment of such Lender during the period from and
      including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the termination
      of the Tranche B-1 Commitments. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable
      in arrears on the termination of the Tranche B-1 Commitments. All
      commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
      shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
      first day but excluding the last day).

                       (c)The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative
      Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with
      respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at
      the same Applicable Rate from time to time in effect for purposes of
      determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on
      the daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion
      thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period
      from and including the Original Closing Date to but excluding the later of
      the date on which such Lender's Revolving Commitment terminates and the
      date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the
      Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per
      annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any
      portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the
      period from and including the Original Closing Date to but excluding the
      later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date
      on which

<PAGE>

                                                                              46

      there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank's standard
      fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any
      Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees
      and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March,
      June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on
      the third Business Day following such last day; provided that all such
      fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
      terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving
      Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable
      to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10
      days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be
      computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the
      actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
      last day).

                       (d)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
      Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times
      separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

                       (e)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates
      due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to
      the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in
      the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders
      entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
      circumstances.

                  Section 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR
Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

                       (b)The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall
      bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect
      for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

                       (c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or
      interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower
      hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
      acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after
      as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case
      of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to
      such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii)
      in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR
      Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

                       (d)Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in
      arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of
      Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided
      that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall
      be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of
      any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the
      end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the
      principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
      repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
      Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
      accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of
      such conversion.

                       (e)All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis
      of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the
      Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the
      Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366
      days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual
      number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
      day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be
      determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be
      conclusive absent manifest error.

                  Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

                  (b) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination
            shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
            reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO
            Rate for such Interest Period; or

                  (c) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required
            Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will
            not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making
            or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such
            Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided, however, that, in the
case of a notice received pursuant to clause (b) above, if the Administrative
Agent is able prior to the commencement of such Interest Period to ascertain,
after using reasonable efforts to poll the Lenders giving such notice, that a
rate other than the Alternate Base Rate would adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower of such alternate rate and the Borrower may agree by written notice to
the Agent prior to the commencement of such Interest Period to increase the
Applicable Rate for the Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest
Period to result in an interest rate equal to such alternate rate, in which case
such increased Applicable Rate shall apply to all the Eurodollar Loans included
in the relevant Borrowing.

                  Section 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law (except
with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.17) shall:

                       (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
            special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
            with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender
            (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO
            Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

                       (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the
            London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement
            or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
            participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the
Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

                      (b)If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any
      Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect
      of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's
      capital or on the capital of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding
      company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by,
      or participations in Letters of Credit

<PAGE>

                                                                              48

      held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank,
      to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such
      Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for
      such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or the Issuing
      Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's
      holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time
      after submission by such Lender to the Borrower of a written request
      therefor, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
      case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
      Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding
      company for any such reduction suffered.

                      (c)A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting
      forth in reasonable detail the matters giving rise to a claim under this
      Section 2.15 and the calculation of such claim by such Lender or the
      Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, shall be
      delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
      The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
      be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
      receipt thereof.

                      (d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the
      Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
      constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand
      such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
      compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any
      increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the
      date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies
      the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
      reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's intention to claim
      compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving
      rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
      180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
      of retroactive effect thereof.

                  Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the
payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked
under Section 2.11(g) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall
compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such
event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall consist of an amount
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such
event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to
such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it
to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable
amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of
any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

                  Section 2.17 Taxes (a) Any and all payments by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum
payable shall be

<PAGE>

                                                                              48

increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay
the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law.

                      (b)In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to
      the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                      (c)The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent,
      each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand
      therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid
      by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
      may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
      obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document
      (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
      attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties,
      interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
      thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
      prepared in good faith and delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the
      Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on
      behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be presumed correct,
      provided that upon reasonable request of the Borrower, a Lender shall
      provide all relevant information reasonably accessible to it justifying
      such amount.

                      (d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
      Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the
      Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
      certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
      evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
      other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
      Administrative Agent.

                      (e)Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
      from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in
      which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is
      a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to
      the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or
      times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed
      documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
      Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
      a reduced rate, provided that such Foreign Lender has received written
      notice from the Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption
      or reduction and supplying all applicable documentation.

                      (f)If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing
      Bank determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it has received a refund
      of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
      Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
      pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the
      Borrower within a reasonable period of time (but only to the extent of
      indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under
      this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to
      such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative
      Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank and without interest (other than
      any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
      such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the
      Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the
      amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other
      charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
      Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the
      Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay
      such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be
      construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing
      Bank to make available its tax returns (or

<PAGE>

                                                                              50

      any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to
      the Borrower or any other Person.

                  Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing
of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees
or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15,
2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or
under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is
expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New
York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or
Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant
to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to
the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any
such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under
any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case
of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the
period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in
dollars.

                      (b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
      available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of
      principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due
      hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of
      interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
      thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
      such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and
      unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the
      parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and
      unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

                      (c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff
      or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal
      of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations
      in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving
      payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving
      Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
      Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any
      other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
      purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans,
      Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of
      other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
      payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
      relative aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their
      Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
      Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are
      purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
      recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
      restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
      provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
      payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
      express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
      consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of
      its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or
      participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
      thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The
      Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
      effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
      participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise

<PAGE>

                                                                              51

      against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
      such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of
      the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

                      (d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
      notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to
      the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing
      Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
      Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on
      such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
      assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
      be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made
      such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case
      may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
      demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with
      interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
      distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
      Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
      and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
      banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

                      (e)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required
      to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b),
      2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
      (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts
      thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
      Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all
      such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

                  Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

                      (b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15,
      or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
      or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
      Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans
      hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
      notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
      assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to
      the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and
      obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
      obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts
      such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the
      prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving
      Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender),
      which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld and (ii) such Lender
      shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
      principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and
      Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
      amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
      outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in
      the case of all other amounts) and such Lender shall be released from all
      obligations hereunder. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
      assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
      such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
      require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  Each of Holdings and the Borrower and, solely for purposes of
Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.08, 3.09 and 3.12, the Parent represents and
warrants to the Lenders that:

                  Section 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Parent,
Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has
all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to
do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such
qualification is required.

                  Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions
entered into and to be entered into by the Parent and each Loan Party are within
the Parent's or such Loan Party's (as the case may be) corporate or limited
liability company powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or limited liability company and, if required, stockholder or member
action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of the
Parent, Holdings and the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document
to which the Parent or any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and
delivered by the Parent or such Loan Party (as the case may be), will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent, Holdings, the
Borrower or such Loan Party (as the case may be), enforceable in accordance with
its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law.

                  Section 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The
Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or
filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except as set
forth on Schedule 3.03 or have been obtained or made and are in full force and
effect and except filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan
Documents, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter,
limited liability company agreement, by-laws or other organizational documents
of the Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of
any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under
any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Parent, Holdings,
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their assets, or give rise to
a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Parent, Holdings,
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation
or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens permitted under Section 6.02.

                  Section 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.
(a) The audited consolidated balance sheets of Holdings as of December 31, 2002,
December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements
of operations and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates,
reported on without a "going concern" or like qualification or exception, or
qualification arising out of the scope of the audit, by KPMG LLP, present fairly
the consolidated financial condition of Holdings as of such dates, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
respective fiscal years then ended. Such financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash
flows of Holdings as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP,
subject to normal year-end audit adjustments.

                      (b)Holdings has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its
      projected pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005
      prepared giving effect to the Transactions as if

<PAGE>

                                                                              53

      such Transactions had occurred on such date. Such projected pro forma
      consolidated balance sheet has been prepared in good faith based on the
      same assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial statements
      included in the Information Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by
      Holdings and the Borrower to be reasonable at the time prepared).

                      (c)Except as disclosed in the financial statements
      referred to above or the notes thereto or in the Information Memorandum
      and except for the Disclosed Matters, after giving effect to the
      Transactions, none of Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries has, as
      of the Restatement Effective Date, any contingent liabilities, unusual
      long-term commitments or unrealized losses that, individually or in the
      aggregate, could reasonably be excepted to result in a Material Adverse
      Effect.

                      (d)Since December 31, 2004, there has been no material
      adverse change in the business, operations, prospects, assets, liabilities
      or financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
      taken as a whole.

                  Section 3.05 Properties. (a) Each of Holdings, the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its
real and personal property material to its business (including its Mortgaged
Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its
ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such
properties for their intended purposes.

                      (b)Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
      owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights,
      patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the
      use thereof by Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not
      infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except, in each case, for
      any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably
      be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                      (c)Schedule 3.05 sets forth the address of each real
      property that is owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its
      Subsidiaries as of the Restatement Effective Date after giving effect to
      the Transactions.

                  Section 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There
are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower,
threatened against or affecting Holdings, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective executive officers or directors (i) which could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a
Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve
any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

                      (b)Except for either the Disclosed Matters or any other
      matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
      expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of Holdings, the
      Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any
      Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit,
      license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has
      become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice
      of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of
      any facts or circumstances which are reasonably likely to form the basis
      for any Environmental Liability.

                  Section 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of
Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws,
regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its
property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or
its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

                                                                              54

                  Section 3.08 Investment and Holding Company Status. None of
the Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an
"investment company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a "holding company" as defined in, or
subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

                  Section 3.09 Taxes. Each of the Parent, Holdings, the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax
returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be
paid all material Taxes required to have been paid by it, except any Taxes that
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the
Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside
on its books adequate reserves.

                  Section 3.10 ERISA; Margin Regulations. (a) During the five
year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed to
be made with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, no ERISA Event has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all
other such ERISA Events for which liability has occurred during such five year
period or for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used
for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as
of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts,
exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value
of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the
assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting
such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded
Plans by an amount that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

                      (b)None of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its
      Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important
      activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying
      or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any
      Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether
      immediately, incidentally or ultimately, in any manner that would entail a
      violation of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X.

                  Section 3.11 Disclosure. Neither the Information Memorandum
nor any of the other written reports, financial statements, certificates or
other written information, taken as a whole, furnished by or on behalf of any
Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder
or thereunder (as of the date thereof and as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that,
with respect to projected financial information, Holdings and the Borrower
represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable (i) at the time such projected financial
information was prepared, (ii) on the date of the Information Memorandum and
(iii) as of the date hereof.

each subsidiary of the Parent and identifies each subsidiary that is a
Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the Restatement Effective Date, (ii)

Holdings and identifies each subsidiary

                                                                              55

that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the Restatement Effective
Date, and (iii) the name of, and the ownership interest of the Borrower in, each
Subsidiary of the Borrower and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary
Loan Party, in each case as of the Restatement Effective Date.

                  Section 3.13 Insurance. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description
of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the Restatement Effective Date. As of the Restatement
Effective Date, all premiums due and payable in respect of such insurance have
been paid. Holdings and the Borrower believe that the insurance maintained by or
on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is adequate.

                  Section 3.14 Labor Matters. As of the Restatement Effective
Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against Holdings, the Borrower
or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower,
threatened. Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: (a) the hours worked by and
payments made to employees of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have
not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable
Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters; (b) all payments
due from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be
made against Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and
employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or
accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings, the Borrower or such
Subsidiary; and (c) the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to
any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union
under any collective bargaining agreement to which Holdings, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary is bound.

                  Section 3.15 Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of
the Transactions to occur on the Restatement Effective Date and immediately
following the making of each Loan made on the Restatement Effective Date and
after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans and to the
rights of reimbursement, contribution and subrogation created by the Collateral
Agreement, (a) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair
valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan
Party will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable
liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c)
each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and
matured; and (d) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with
which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now
conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Restatement Effective
Date.

"Senior Indebtedness" under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Debt
Documents.

                  Section 3.17 Parent Acquisition. As of the Restatement

binding obligation of each such party, enforceable in accordance with its terms,

other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law. A true, correct and complete copy (including any amendments and
waivers) of the Merger Agreement has been furnished to the Administrative Agent.

                  Section 3.18 Security Documents. (a) The Collateral Agreement
is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the

                                                                              56

financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 5 of the Perfection
Certificate in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 6
of the Perfection Certificate (as updated by the Borrower from time to time in
accordance with Section 5.03), the Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully
perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of
the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for
the Obligations to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements, in each case prior and superior in right
to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock,
Liens permitted by Section 6.02(a)).

                      (b)When the Collateral Agreement or a summary thereof is
      properly filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
      United States Copyright Office, and, with respect to Collateral in which a
      security interest cannot be perfected by such filings, upon the proper
      filing of the financing statements referred to in paragraph (a) above, the
      Collateral Agreement and such financing statements shall constitute a
      fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and
      interest of the grantors thereunder in the Intellectual Property (as
      defined in the Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in
      right to any other Person (it being understood that subsequent recordings
      in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
      Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on registered
      trademarks and patents, trademark and patent applications and registered
      copyrights acquired by the grantors after the date hereof).

                      (c)The Mortgages, if any, entered into after the
      Restatement Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.13 shall be effective to

      Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Loan
      Parties' right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property
      thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when such Mortgages are filed in
      the proper real estate filing offices, such Mortgages shall constitute a
      fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and
      interest of Loan Parties in such Mortgages Property and the proceeds
      thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person,
      other than with respect to the rights of Person pursuant to Liens
      expressly permitted by Section 6.02(a).

                  Section 3.19 Liens. There are no Liens of any nature
whatsoever on any properties of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries other than Permitted Encumbrances and Liens permitted by Section
6.02(a).

                  Section 3.20 No Burdensome Restrictions. None of Holdings, the

            applicable, except to the extent such representations and warranties
            expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such
            representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all
            material respects on and as of such earlier date); provided,
            however, that for purposes of making the representations and

      correct in all material respects.

                      (c)Each funding of Loans (other than any Borrowing of
      Tranche B-1 Term Loans) and each issuance, increase, renewal or extension
      of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a representation and
      warranty by Holdings and the Borrower on the date thereof as to the
      matters specified in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each funding of
      Tranche B-1 Term Loans made after the Restatement Effective Date shall be
      deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by Holdings and the
      Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters specified in paragraph (b)
      of this Section.

existence and permitted activities). The Parent will not create, incur, assume
or permit to exist any Lien on any property or assets now owned or hereafter
acquired by it, other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Parent shall not in any
event incur or permit to exist any Indebtedness for borrowed money other than
(i) Parent Non-Cash Pay Debt, (ii) any Put Financing Indebtedness and (iii)
Qualifying Parent Indebtedness; provided, however, that in the case of
Qualifying Parent Indebtedness, other than Initial Base QPI, the QPI Issuance
Conditions are satisfied at the time of any such issuance of Qualifying Parent
Indebtedness; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is expressly
understood and agreed that the Parent shall not be personally liable under the
Parent Pledge Agreement and the Agent on behalf of itself and each Secured Party
agrees to look solely to the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Parent Pledge
Agreement) for satisfaction of the Parent's obligations under the Parent Pledge
Agreement.

                      (b)In the event and on each occasion that the Parent
      receives any West Acquisition Agreement Recovery, it will, not later than
      five Business Days after receipt thereof, contribute the full amount of
      such West Acquisition Agreement Recovery to the common capital of Holdings
      (unless such amount shall have previously been contributed to the common
      capital of East Holdings pursuant to Section 6.21(b) of the East Credit
      Agreement), or utilize the full amount of such West Acquisition Agreement
      Recovery to purchase Equity Interests of Holdings (or the Equity Interests
      of East Holdings pursuant to Section 6.21(b) of the East Credit
      Agreement). Promptly after receiving the proceeds of any capital
      contribution from, or from the purchase of its Equity Interests by, the
      Parent pursuant to this paragraph, Holdings will contribute the full
      amount thereof to the common capital of the Borrower. Promptly after
      receiving payment from any East Entity with respect to the provision by
      Holdings or any of its subsidiaries of Shared Services to any East Entity,
      Parent will contribute the full amount of such payment to the common
      capital of Holdings and, if such Shared Services were performed by a
      subsidiary of Holdings, Holdings will contribute such amount to the
      Borrower.

                      (c)The Parent will ensure that any Shared Services
      Payments made by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the Parent represent
      only reimbursement for cash expenses actually incurred by the Parent or
      RHD Corp., as the case may be, or any of their respective subsidiaries
      (other than Holdings, RHD Inc. or any of their respective subsidiaries)
      (including accrued costs payable in cash by the Parent or RHD Corp., as
      the case may be, or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than

      Holdings, RHD Inc. or any of their respective subsidiaries) within the
      30-day period after its receipt of a Shared Services Payment) that are
      directly attributable to the provision of Shared Services to the Borrower
      and its Subsidiaries or, if not directly attributable to such Shared
      Services, are not directly attributable to Shared Services provided to any
      other Persons and represent a fair and equitable allocation of such
      out-of-pocket expenses that are not so directly attributable among the
      Borrower and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and all other Persons, on
      the other hand, to which the Parent or RHD Corp., as the case may be, or
      any of their respective subsidiaries (other than Holdings, RHD Inc. or any
      of their respective subsidiaries) provides Shared Services (including the
      East Borrower and its subsidiaries (including "unrestricted subsidiaries"
      permitted by the East Credit Facilities) and any Unrestricted
      Subsidiaries). Shared Services Payments will not in any event include
      payments in respect of trade payables incurred in connection with the
      conduct of the Permitted Businesses of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries
      (including, for example, payables relating to printing costs, distribution
      costs, and costs of inventory, paper and other raw materials), which shall
      be incurred and paid directly by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (it
      being understood, however, that trade payables of the Parent or RHD Corp.,
      as the case may be, or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than
      Holdings, RHD Inc. or any of their respective subsidiaries) incurred in
      the ordinary course relating to assets included in the Shared Services
      Assets and Operations or the provision of Shared Services may be incurred
      by the Parent or RHD Corp., as the case may be, or any of their respective
      subsidiaries (other than Holdings, RHD Inc. or any of their respective
      subsidiaries) and reimbursed as Shared Services Payments in accordance
      herewith). The Parent will invoice the Borrower and the Subsidiaries for
      Shared Services Payments on a periodic basis, not less frequently than
      quarterly. The Parent will from time to time provide the Administrative
      Agent with such analyses and other information regarding Shared Services
      Payments, including with respect to attributions and allocations of costs
      and expenses to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, as the Administrative
      Agent may reasonably request.

                  Section 6.23 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a)
Holdings may not designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and
Holdings may after the Original Closing Date designate any other newly formed or
acquired subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Agreement (a
"Designation") only if:

                        (i) such subsidiary does not own any Equity Interests of
            any Subsidiary;

                        (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
            continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such
            Designation;

                        (iii) after giving effect to such Designation and any
            related Investment to be made in such designated subsidiary by
            Holdings or any Subsidiary (which shall in any event include any
            existing Investment in such Person at the time it is designated as
            an Unrestricted Subsidiary), (A) any such existing Investment and
            related Investment would comply with Section 6.04 and (B) Holdings
            and the Subsidiaries would be in compliance with each of the
            Financial Covenants, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such
            Designation and Investment had occurred immediately prior to the
            first day of the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most
            recently ended; and

                        (iv) Holdings has delivered to the Administrative Agent
            (A) written notice of such Designation and (B) a certificate, dated
            the effective date of such Designation, of a Financial Officer
            stating that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
            setting forth reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating pro
            forma compliance with the Financial Covenants in accordance with
            paragraph (iii) above.

                      (b)Neither Holdings nor any Subsidiary shall at any time
      (i) provide a Guarantee of any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted
      Subsidiary, (ii) be directly or indirectly liable for any

                                                                              77

      Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary or (iii) be directly or
      indirectly liable for any other Indebtedness which provides that the
      holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default
      thereon (or cause such Indebtedness or the payment thereof to be
      accelerated, payable or subject to repurchase prior to its final scheduled
      maturity) upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any other
      Indebtedness that is Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, except in
      the case of clause (i) or (ii) to the extent permitted under Section 6.01
      and 6.04 hereof. Each Designation shall be irrevocable, and no
      Unrestricted Subsidiary may become a Subsidiary, be merged with or into
      Holdings or any Subsidiary or liquidate into or transfer substantially all
      its assets to Holdings or any Subsidiary.

                  Section 6.24 Commingling of Accounts. Each of Holdings and the
Borrower will not, nor will it cause or permit any Subsidiary to, commingle
amounts relating to Securitization Assets sold pursuant to a Securitization with
cash or any other amounts of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries other
than the temporary commingling of collections on and proceeds of any accounts
receivable or related assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in each case
as may be necessary to identify and sort such collections and proceeds.

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

                  If any of the following events ("Events of Default") shall
occur:

            or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement
            when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the
            due date thereof or at a date fixed for prepayment thereof or
            otherwise;

                  (b) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan or
            any fee or any other amount (other than an amount referred to in
            clause (a) of this Article) payable under this Agreement or any
            other Loan Document, when and as the same shall become due and
            payable, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of
            three Business Days;

                  (c) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by or
            on behalf of the Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary in
            or in connection with any Loan Document or any amendment or
            modification thereof or waiver thereunder, or in any certificate
            furnished pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document or any
            amendment or modification thereof or waiver thereunder, shall prove
            to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed
            made;

                  (d) the Parent, Holdings or the Borrower shall fail to observe
            or perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained in Section

            Borrower), 5.11 or in Article VI;

                  (e) any Loan Party shall fail to observe or perform any

            Article), and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of
            30 days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent to the
            Borrower (which notice will promptly be given at the request of any
            Lender);

            Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable
            (after giving effect to any applicable grace period specified in the
            agreement or instrument governing such Indebtedness);

                  (g) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material
            Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that
            enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse
            of time or both) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness
            or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material
            Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment,
            repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled
            maturity; provided that this clause (g) (i) shall not apply to (A)
            secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary
            sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such
            Indebtedness and (B) repurchases of the Existing Notes pursuant to
            the Change in Control Offers and (ii) shall give effect to any
            notice required or grace period provided in the agreement or
            instrument governing such relevant Material Indebtedness, but shall
            not give effect to any waiver granted by the holders of such
            relevant Material Indebtedness after the giving of such notice or
            during such applicable grace period;

                  (h) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an
            involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation,
            reorganization or other relief in respect of Holdings, the Borrower
            or any Material Subsidiary or its debts, or of a substantial part of
            its assets, under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy,

            or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian,
            sequestrator, conservator or similar official for Holdings, the
            Borrower or any Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets,
            and, in any such case, such proceeding or petition shall continue
            undismissed for 60 days or an order or decree approving or ordering
            any of the foregoing shall be entered;

            applicable Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Loan
            Documents or (ii) as a result of the Agent's failure to maintain
            possession of any stock certificates, promissory notes or other
            instruments delivered to it under the Collateral Agreement;

            reason shall cease to be in full force and effect (other than in
            accordance with its terms), or any Guarantor shall assert in writing

            to be or is not enforceable; or

                  (o) the material breach of, or loss of rights under, any Core

            Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter
during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may with the
consent of the Required Lenders, and at the request of the Required Lenders
shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions,
at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the
Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then
outstanding to be due and payable in whole, and thereupon the principal of the
Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon
and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall

other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in
case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of
the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees

become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                    THE AGENT

                  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably
appoints the Agent as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on
its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the
terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.

                  The bank serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and such bank and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any
kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

                  The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the

<PAGE>

                                                                              80

Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated
to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity (other than as Agent). The Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its
own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Agent by Holdings, the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii)
the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder
or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan
Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any
Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan
Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Agent.

                  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely
upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

                  The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such
sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

                  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor to
the Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such
consent not to be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or
(i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If
no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office
in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of
its appointment as Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent,

its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

                  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement
or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

                  Each party hereto authorizes the Agent to enter into customary
intercreditor agreements in connection with Securitizations permitted under this
Agreement.

                  Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by
the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may
have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

                      (b)Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor
      any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except,
      in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
      writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders
      or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or
      agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan
      Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the
      Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the
      Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii)
      reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement held by any
      Lender or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
      hereunder, without the written consent of such Lender, (iii) postpone the
      maturity of any Lender's Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of the
      principal amount of any Lender's Term Loan under Section 2.10, or the
      required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement held by any Lender,
      or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable to any Lender
      hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
      postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the
      written consent of such Lender, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or Section
      2.18(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments
      required thereby or change the last sentence of Section 2.08(c) in a
      manner which would alter the pro rata reduction of Commitments thereby,
      without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the
      provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any
      other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage
      of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify
      any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
      thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of
      such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release Holdings or any Subsidiary
      Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement (except as
      expressly provided in the Collateral Agreement), or limit its liability in
      respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender,
      (vii) release all or any substantial part of the Collateral from the Liens
      of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender,
      (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its
      terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders
      holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any
      other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in
      interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected
      Class or (ix) limit the rights of the Tranche B Lenders or Tranche B-1
      Lenders to decline mandatory prepayments as provided in Section 2.11,
      without the written consent of Tranche B Lenders or Tranche B-1 Lenders,
      as the case may be, holding a majority of the outstanding Tranche B Loans
      or Tranche B-1 Loans, as the case may be; provided, further that (A) no
      such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or
      duties of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the
      prior written consent of the Agent, the Issuing Bank

<PAGE>

                                                                              83

      or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) any waiver, amendment
      or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or
      duties under this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but not the Tranche
      A Lenders, Tranche B Lenders and Tranche B-1 Lenders), the Tranche A
      Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders, Tranche B Lenders and Tranche B-1
      Lenders), the Tranche B Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders, Tranche A
      Lenders and Tranche B-1 Lenders) or the Tranche B-1 Lenders (but not the
      Revolving Lenders, the Tranche A Lenders and the Tranche B Lenders) may be
      effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by
      Holdings, the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the
      affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under
      this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders
      hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of
      this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by
      Holdings, the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Agent (and, if their
      rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Issuing Bank and the
      Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of
      each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall
      terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time
      such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto
      receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each
      Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its
      account under this Agreement.

                      (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 (ix), inclusive, of the first
      proviso to Section 9.02(b), the consent of Lenders having Revolving
      Exposures, Term Loans and unused Commitments representing more than
      66-2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term
      Loans and unused Commitments at such time 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, so long as all
      non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as
      described in either clause (i) or (ii) below, to either (i) replace each
      such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the Borrower
      if any such Lender's consent is required with respect to less than all
      Classes of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the Commitments
      and/or Loans of any such non-consenting Lender that gave rise to the need
      to obtain such Lender's individual consent) with one or more assignees
      pursuant to, and with the effect of an assignment under, Section 2.19 so
      long as at the time of such replacement, each such assignee consents to
      the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (ii) terminate
      such non-consenting Lender's Commitment (if such Lender's consent is
      required as a result of its Commitment) and/or repay each Class of
      outstanding Loans of such Lender that gave rise to the need to obtain such
      Lender's consent and/or cash collateralize its LC Exposure, in accordance
      with Section 2.05(j); provided (A) that, unless the Commitments that are
      terminated and Loans that are repaid pursuant to the preceding clause (ii)
      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 the preceding clause (ii),
      Lenders having Revolving Exposures, Term Loans and unused Commitments
      representing more than 66-2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving
      Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at such time
      (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically
      consent thereto and (B) any such replacement or termination transaction
      described above shall be effective on the date notice is given of the
      relevant transaction and shall have a settlement date no earlier than five
      Business Days and no later than 90 days after the relevant transaction;
      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 9.02(b).

                  Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, including

the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of (a) a single transaction and
documentation counsel for the Agent and the Arrangers and (b) such other local
counsel and special counsel as may be required in the reasonable judgment of the
Agent and the Arrangers, in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing
Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender, (including the fees, charges and disbursements of (a) a single

in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section,
or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder,
including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

                      (b)The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Arrangers,
      the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the
      foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against,

      disbursements of (a) a single transaction and documentation counsel for
      any Indemnitee and (b) such other local counsel and special counsel as may
      be required in the reasonable judgment of the Agent and the Arrangers,
      incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
      connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any
      Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
      the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective
      obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any
      other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit
      or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing
      Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the
      documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
      with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged
      presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged
      Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by
      the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability
      related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any
      actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
      relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any
      other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
      provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available
      to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
      expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
      nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
      wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

                      (c)To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount
      required to be paid by it to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
      Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally
      agrees to pay to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as
      the case may be, such Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time
      that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought)
      of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
      indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
      may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent, the Issuing Bank or
      the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a
      Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined based upon its share of the
      sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused
      Commitments at the time.

      Holdings nor the Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim
      against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
      consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
      arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or
      any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any
      Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

                      (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable
      not later than 10 days after written demand therefor.

                  Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including
any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that
(i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

                      (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph
      (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a
      portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all
      or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it),
      with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
      withheld or delayed) of:

                        (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the
            Borrower shall be required (x) for an assignment by a Revolving
            Lender to an existing Revolving Lender or an assignment of Term
            Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as
            defined below) or, (y) if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b),
            (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other
            assignee; and

                        (B) the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an
            assignment of all or a portion of any Lender's obligations in
            respect of its LC Exposure, the Issuing Bank), provided that no
            consent of the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may
            be, shall be required for an assignment of Term Loans to an assignee
            that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such
            assignment, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

                        (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following
            conditions:

                        (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an
            Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
            entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, the
            amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each
            such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
            Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
            Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each
            of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,
            provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if
            an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII
            has occurred and is continuing;

<PAGE>

                                                                              86

                        (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an
            assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's
            rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this
            clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a
            proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and
            obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

                        (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
            deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
            together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (it being
            understood that only a single processing and recordation fee of
            $3,500 will be payable with respect to any multiple assignments to
            or by a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund
            pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above, each of which is individually less
            than $1,000,000, that are simultaneously consummated); and

                        (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
            deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

                  For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "Approved Fund"
has the following meaning:

                  "Approved Fund" means any Person (other than an natural
person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank
loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business
and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a
Lender or (c) any entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or
manages a Lender.

                  (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

                  (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal
amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time, which register shall indicate that each lender
is entitled to interest paid with respect to such Loans and LC Disbursements
(the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice
to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower,
the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.

                  (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and
Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a
Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section

                                                                              87

and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.

                        (c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice
            to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
            Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other
            entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's
            rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
            portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that
            (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
            unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
            other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C)
            the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
            other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
            Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under
            this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a
            Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender
            shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve
            any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
            Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
            that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
            agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the
            first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.
            Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees
            that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
            2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
            had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
            this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
            shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were
            a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
            2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

                      (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
      greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender
      would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold
      to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
      Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. A
      Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not
      be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is
      notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
      Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
      Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

                        (d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
            security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
            Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without
            limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
            Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such
            pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
            pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender
            from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee
            or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

                  Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents
and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and
issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any
such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit
is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.
The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall
survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of
the

transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of
this Agreement or any provision hereof.

                  Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when the conditions set forth in
Section 5 of the Agreement to Amend and Restate shall have been satisfied, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

                  Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

                  Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at
any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and
although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) which such Lender may have.

                  Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service
of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the law of the State of New York.

                      (b)Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably
      and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
      nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
      sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the
      Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof,
      in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan
      Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of
      the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
      claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
      determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in
      such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
      judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
      enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
      manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan
      Document shall affect any right that the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
      Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
      this Agreement or any other Loan Document against Holdings, the Borrower
      or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

                      (c)Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably
      and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and
      effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
      laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
      relating to this

      Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph
      (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives,
      to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
      forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

                      (d)Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to
      service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.
      Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right
      of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner
      permitted by law.

                  Section 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND

                  Section 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,

Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)

(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.04(d) or (iii)
any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with
the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii)
becomes available to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings or the Borrower. For the
purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from
Holdings or the Borrower relating to Holdings or the Borrower or its business,
other than any such information that is available to the Agent, the Issuing Bank
or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or the

the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at
the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the

contrary or in any other written or oral understanding or agreement to which the
parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, the parties to this
Agreement agree that (i) any obligations of confidentiality contained herein and
therein do not apply and have not applied from the commencement of discussions
between the parties to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents and (ii) each party (and any employee,
representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all
persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and all materials of any
kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating
to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that tax treatment and tax
structure shall not include the identity of any existing or future party (or any
affiliate of such party) to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
provided further that each party recognizes that the privilege each has to
maintain, in its sole discretion, the confidentiality of a communication
relating to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, including a
confidential communication with its attorney or a confidential communication
with a federally authorized tax practitioner under Section 7525 of the Code, is
not intended to be affected by the foregoing.

interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall
exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a
result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be
increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount,
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date
of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

                  Section 9.14 Termination or Release. (a) At such time as the
Loans, the Borrower's obligations to reimburse the Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.05(e) for LC Disbursements, all accrued interest and fees under this
Agreement, and all other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than (i)
obligations under Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03 that are not then due and payable
and (ii) obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit) shall have
been paid in full in cash, the Commitments have been terminated and all Letters
of Credit shall have been discharged or cash collateralized to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Agent and Issuing Bank (each of which shall have confirmed

released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the obligations
(other than those expressly stated to survive termination) of the Agent and each
Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of
any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

                      (b)A Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically be released
      from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement and the security
      interests in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be
      automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted
      by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases
      to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower.

                      (c)Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party of
      any Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement to any Person that
      is not a Loan Party, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to

      in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 of this Agreement, the security
      interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

                      (d)In connection with any termination or release pursuant
      to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9.14, the Collateral Agent
      shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party at such Loan Party's expense
      all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence
      such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents
      pursuant to this Section 9.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by
      the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

Parent, Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(the "USA Patriot Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information

same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to
make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are
several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to
make Loans as required.

            (b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing and Term
Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the
Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR
Loan.

            (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR
Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that
is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided
that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to
the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments or that is required
to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section
2.05(e). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple
of $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at
the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of
15 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

            (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue,
any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end
after the Revolving Maturity Date, Tranche A Maturity Date or Tranche B Maturity
Date, as applicable.

            Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request funding of a
Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three
Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an
ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day
before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an
ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such
telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information
in compliance with Section 2.02:

            (i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving Borrowing,
      Tranche A Term Borrowing or Tranche B Term Borrowing;

            (ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

            (iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

            (iv) subject to the proviso to the fourth sentence of Section
      2.02(c), whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
      Borrowing;

<PAGE>

                                                                              33

            (v) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest
      Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by
      the definition of the term "Interest Period"; and

            (vi) the location and number of the Borrower's account to which
      funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of
      Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall
be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the
amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

            Section 2.04 Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans
to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in
an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in
(i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding
$5,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total
Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the
foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

            (b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline
Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date
(which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such
notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each
Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general
deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a
Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

            (c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any
Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such
Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice
shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders
will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent
will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice
such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of
notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Swingline Lender, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan
or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever; provided that no
Lender shall be required to acquire a participation in any Swingline Loan to the
extent that doing so would cause the Revolving Exposure of such Lender to exceed
such Lender's Revolving Commitment. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its
obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by
such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to the Swingline

<PAGE>

                                                                              34

Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any
Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in
respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not
to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the
Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline
Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of
participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent;
any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted
by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their
payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their
interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid
to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to
the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any
reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this
paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

            Section 2.05 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of
Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of any Subsidiary, in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank on
the Original Closing Date and, at any time and from time to time thereafter
during the Revolving Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions
of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the
Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to
any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

            (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment,
renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall
hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing
Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date
of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance
of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended,
renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of
Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the
amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof
and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or
extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower
also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard
form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit
shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be
deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000
and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving
Commitments.

            (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior
to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date
of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

            (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank
hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby
acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal
to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration

<PAGE>

                                                                              35

and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement
made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment
required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant
to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever; provided that no Lender shall be required to acquire a
participation in any Letter of Credit to the extent that doing so would cause
the Revolving Exposure of such Lender to exceed such Lender's Revolving
Commitment.

            (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such
LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that
such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such
LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if
such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such
date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business
Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day
immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such
notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that
(whether or not the conditions in Section 4.01 are satisfied or a Default
exists) each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have the
absolute and unconditional right to require that such payment be financed with
an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the
extent so financed, the Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline
Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the
payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender's
Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each
Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage
of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders),
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts
so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing
Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to
this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the
Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving
Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC
Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan
as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

            (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv)

<PAGE>

                                                                              36

any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Borrower's obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders,
the Issuing Bank or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or
responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of
any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission
or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any
Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder),
any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from
causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the provisions of
this Section 2.05(f) shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from
liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower
that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining
whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply
with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence
of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall
be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of
the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree
that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

            (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or
will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or
delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC
Disbursement.

            (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in
full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall
bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is
made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans;
provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply.
Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the
Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by
any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the
Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such
payment.

            (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be
replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the
Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of
any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights
and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters
of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
"Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor

<PAGE>

                                                                              37

or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing
Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank
hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

            (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default under clauses
(a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII shall occur and be continuing or if the
Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Article VII as a result of any other
Event of Default, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater
than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such
date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation
to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such
deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice
of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the
Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. The Borrower also shall
deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required
by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit under this Section or Section 2.11(b)
shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, and the
Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a
security interest in all funds and investments from time to time in such
account, and in the proceeds thereof, to secure the Obligations. The
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the
exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned
on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the
option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower's
risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if
any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such
account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing
Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the
extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement
obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity
of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving
Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC
Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
under this Section 2.05(j) as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified above, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be
returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after the applicable Events
of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an
amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to
the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to
the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain
in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

            Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each
Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided
in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York
City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request;
provided that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

<PAGE>

                                                                              38

            (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower,
the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to
the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan
included in such Borrowing.

            Section 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and
Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such
portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply
to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

            (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were
requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be
made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower.

            (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

            (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies
      and, if different options are being elected with respect to different
      portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting
      Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to
      clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
      Borrowing);

            (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such
      Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

            (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
      Eurodollar Borrowing; and

            (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
      Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
      election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
      term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

            (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

            (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to
an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a
Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto.

            Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The
Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

            (b) The Borrower may at any time, without premium or penalty,
terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that
(i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance
with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the total
Revolving Commitments.

            (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of
this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice
of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state
that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving
Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments
shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Revolving Commitments.

            Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower
hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan
of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term
Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to the Swingline
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of
the Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made
that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business
Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a
Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that
were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

            (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by

<PAGE>

                                                                              40

such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to
such Lender from time to time hereunder.

            (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it
shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type
thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender's share thereof.

            (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or
any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower
to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

            (e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of
such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Such
promissory note shall state that it is subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest
thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04)
be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order
of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to
such payee and its registered assigns).

            Section 2.10 Amortization of Term Loans. (a) Subject to adjustment
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay Tranche
A Term Borrowings on each date set forth below in an amount equal to the
percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Loans continued on
the Restatement Effective Date set forth opposite such date (each such date
being called an "Installment Date"):

            (c) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Tranche A Term Loans
shall be due and payable on the Tranche A Maturity Date and (ii) all Tranche B
Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche B Maturity Date.

            (d) Any mandatory or optional prepayment of a Term Borrowing of
either Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of
the Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section ratably.

            (e) Prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings of either Class
hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the
applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such
repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans
included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be
accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

            Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate
principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$5,000,000 (or $500,000 or more, in the case of Swingline Loans) or, if less,
the amount outstanding, subject to the requirements of this Section.

            (b) In the event and on such occasion that the sum of the Revolving
Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay
Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are
outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

            (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds (other
than any Net Proceeds from (i) the issuance of the New Parent Notes and (ii) any
Put Financing) are received by or on behalf of the Parent, Holdings, the
Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower

<PAGE>

                                                                              42

shall, not later than the Business Day next after the date on which such Net
Proceeds are received, prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to
the Required Percentage of such Net Proceeds or, in the case of an Equity
Issuance by the Parent or a Damages Event, the Required Percentage of the
Allocable Net Proceeds of such Prepayment Event; provided that, in the case of
any Asset Disposition, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower or a
Subsidiary intends to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion
thereof specified in such certificate), within 365 days after receipt of such
Net Proceeds, to acquire real property, equipment or other assets to be used in
the business of the Borrower or such Subsidiaries or to fund a Permitted
Acquisition in accordance with the terms of Section 6.04, and certifying that no
Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such
event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if
applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have
not been so applied by the end of such 365-day period, at which time a
prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have
not been so applied. For purposes hereof, "Required Percentage" shall mean: (i)
in the case of an Asset Disposition or a Damages Event, 100%; (ii) in the case
of a Debt Issuance, (A) if on the date of the relevant issuance, the Pro Forma
Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.0 to 1.0, 100% or (B) if on the date of the
relevant issuance, the Pro Forma Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.0 to
1.0, 0% (it being understood that a portion of such Net Proceeds from a Debt
Issuance may be applied so as to reduce such Pro Forma Leverage Ratio to less
than 4.0 to 1.0, and that the Required Percentage for the remainder of such Net
Proceeds shall be 0%); and (iii) in the case of an Equity Issuance, (A) if on
the date of the relevant prepayment, the Pro Forma Leverage Ratio is greater
than 4.0 to 1.0, 50% or (B) on the date of the relevant prepayment, the Pro
Forma Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.0 to 1.0, 0% (it being
understood that a portion of such Net Proceeds from an Equity Issuance may be
applied so as to reduce such Pro Forma Leverage Ratio to less than 4.0 to 1.0,
and that the Required Percentage for the remainder of such Net Proceeds shall be
0%).

            (d) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower,
commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, the Borrower will
prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to (i) 50% of Excess Cash
Flow for such fiscal year less (ii) any voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made
pursuant to Section 2.11(a) during such fiscal year; provided that, with respect
to each such fiscal year ending on or after December 31, 2005, no such
prepayment of Term Borrowings shall be required if the Leverage Ratio as of the
end of such fiscal year is less than 5.0 to 1.0. Each prepayment pursuant to
this paragraph shall be made on or before the date on which financial statements
are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which
Excess Cash Flow is being calculated (and in any event within 100 days after the
end of such fiscal year).

            (e) In the event and on each occasion that any Optional Repurchase
is made pursuant to Section 6.08(b)(vii)(y), the Borrower shall on the last day
of each fiscal quarter prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to
the aggregate amounts expended on such Optional Repurchases during such fiscal
quarter; provided, however, that if the amount expended on any such Optional
Repurchase when taken together with the aggregate amounts expended on all other
such Optional Repurchases in respect of which a prepayment of Term Borrowings
has not yet been made under this paragraph (e) (the "Cumulative Amount") is
greater than $20,000,000, the Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings in an
aggregate amount equal to the Cumulative Amount not later than the date on which
such Optional Repurchase is made.

            (f) Prior to any optional or, subject to Sections 2.11(c), (d) and
(e), mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the
Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the
notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section. In the
event of any optional or mandatory prepayment of Term Borrowings made at a time
when Term Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding, the Borrower
shall select Term Borrowings

<PAGE>

                                                                              43

to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated
between the Tranche A Term Borrowings and Tranche B Term Borrowings pro rata
based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such
Class; provided that, so long as and to the extent that any Tranche A Term
Borrowings remain outstanding, any Tranche B Lender may elect, by notice to the
Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) at least one Business
Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any
prepayment of its Tranche B Term Loans pursuant to this Section (other than an
optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, which may not be
declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have
been applied to prepay Tranche B Term Loans but was so declined shall be applied
to prepay Tranche A Term Borrowings.

            (g) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify
the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof
to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed
calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of
optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of
termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then
such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such
notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided
in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a
mandatory prepayment or to prepay such Borrowing in full. Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest and other
amounts to the extent required by Sections 2.13 and 2.16.

            Section 2.12 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee,
which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of each
Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the
Original Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving
Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on
the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the
dates on which such Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first
such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes
of computing commitment fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving
Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the
outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline
Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

            (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its
participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable
Rate from time to time in effect for purposes of determining the interest rate
applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Lender's LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Original Closing Date to
but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Revolving Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and
(ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of
0.125% per annum on the

<PAGE>

                                                                              44

average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and
including the Original Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to
be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to
the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued
through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year shall be payable in arrears on the third Business Day following such
last day; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the
Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on
which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other
fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable
within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

            (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

            (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing
Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of
commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees
paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

            Section 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
(including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate.

            (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

            (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest
on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

            (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans,
upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand,
(ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving
Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid
shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the
event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion.

            (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base
Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in
each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or
Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                                                                              45

            Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

            (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall
      be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do
      not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest
      Period; or

            (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that
      the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and
      fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their
      Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided, however, that, in the
case of a notice received pursuant to clause (b) above, if the Administrative
Agent is able prior to the commencement of such Interest Period to ascertain,
after using reasonable efforts to poll the Lenders giving such notice, that a
rate other than the Alternate Base Rate would adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower of such alternate rate and the Borrower may agree by written notice to
the Agent prior to the commencement of such Interest Period to increase the
Applicable Rate for the Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest
Period to result in an interest rate equal to such alternate rate, in which case
such increased Applicable Rate shall apply to all the Eurodollar Loans included
in the relevant Borrowing.

            Section 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law (except with
respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.17) shall:

            (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit
      or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
      of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
      reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

            (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London
      interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or
      Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
      participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the
Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

            (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in
Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital
of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit
held by,

<PAGE>

                                                                              46

such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level
below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing
Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies
of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time after submission by such Lender to the
Borrower of a written request therefor, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing
Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

            (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in
reasonable detail the matters giving rise to a claim under this Section 2.15 and
the calculation of such claim by such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding
company, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

            (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank
to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing
Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

            Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment
of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked
under Section 2.11(g) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall
compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such
event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall consist of an amount
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such
event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to
such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it
to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable
amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of
any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

            Section 2.17 Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be
made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
shall be

<PAGE>

                                                                              47

increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay
the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law.

            (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

            (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or
with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability prepared in good faith and delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or
the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf
of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be presumed correct, provided that upon
reasonable request of the Borrower, a Lender shall provide all relevant
information reasonably accessible to it justifying such amount.

            (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

            (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Foreign Lender
has received written notice from the Borrower advising it of the availability of
such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable documentation.

            (f) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank
determines, in its reasonable judgment, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with
respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower within a reasonable
period of time (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes
or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of
the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the
amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the
Borrower or any other Person.

                                                                              48

            Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees
or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15,
2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or
under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is
expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New
York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or
Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant
to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to
the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any
such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under
any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case
of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the
period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in
dollars.

            (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available
to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed
LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be
applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among
the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

            (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the relative aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued
interest on their Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

                                                                              49

            (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.

            (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

            Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

            (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if
the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and,
if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline
Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld and (ii) such Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts)
and such Lender shall be released from all obligations hereunder. A Lender shall
not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

                                  ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

            Each of Holdings and the Borrower and, solely for purposes of
Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.08, 3.09 and 3.12, the Parent represents and
warrants to the Lenders that:

            Section 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Parent, Holdings, the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all
requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to
do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such
qualification is required.

            Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions entered
into and to be entered into by the Parent and each Loan Party are within the
Parent's or such Loan Party's (as the case may be) corporate or limited
liability company powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or limited liability company and, if required, stockholder or member
action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of the
Parent, Holdings and the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document
to which the Parent or any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and
delivered by the Parent or such Loan Party (as the case may be), will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent, Holdings, the
Borrower or such Loan Party (as the case may be), enforceable in accordance with
its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law.

            Section 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions
(a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or
any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except as set forth on Schedule
3.03 or have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except
filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents, (b) will
not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, limited liability
company agreement, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Parent,
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any
Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any
indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Parent, Holdings, the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their assets, or give rise to a
right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Parent, Holdings, the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, except Liens permitted under Section 6.02.

            Section 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. The
audited consolidated balance sheets of Holdings as of December 31, 2002,
December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements
of operations and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates,
reported on without a "going concern" or like qualification or exception, or
qualification arising out of the scope of the audit, by KPMG LLP, present fairly
the consolidated financial condition of Holdings as of such dates, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
respective fiscal years then ended. Such financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash
flows of Holdings as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP,
subject to normal year-end audit adjustments.

            (b) Holdings has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its projected
pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 prepared giving
effect to the Transactions as if such Transactions

<PAGE>

                                                                              51

had occurred on such date. Such projected pro forma consolidated balance sheet
has been prepared in good faith based on the same assumptions used to prepare
the pro forma financial statements included in the Information Memorandum (which
assumptions are believed by Holdings and the Borrower to be reasonable at the
time prepared).

            (c) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to
above or the notes thereto or in the Information Memorandum and except for the
Disclosed Matters, after giving effect to the Transactions, none of Holdings,
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries has, as of the Restatement Effective Date, any
contingent liabilities, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses that,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be excepted to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

            (d) Since December 31, 2004, there has been no material adverse
change in the business, operations, prospects, assets, liabilities or financial
condition of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

            Section 3.05 Properties. (a) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real
and personal property material to its business (including its Mortgaged
Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its
ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such
properties for their intended purposes.

            (b) Each of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is
licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other
intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by Holdings,
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other
Person, except, in each case, for any matters that, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

            (c) Schedule 3.05 sets forth the address of each real property that
is owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as of the
Restatement Effective Date after giving effect to the Transactions.

            Section 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no
actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower,
threatened against or affecting Holdings, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective executive officers or directors (i) which could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a
Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve
any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

            (b) Except for either the Disclosed Matters or any other matters
that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to
obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required
under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental
Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any
Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any facts or circumstances which are
reasonably likely to form the basis for any Environmental Liability.

            Section 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of Holdings,
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations
and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and
all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its
property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default has occurred and is continuing.

            Section 3.08 Investment and Holding Company Status. None of the
Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment
company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company
Act of 1940 or (b) a "holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

            Section 3.09 Taxes. Each of the Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns
and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all
material Taxes required to have been paid by it, except any Taxes that are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Parent,
Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its
books adequate reserves.

            Section 3.10 ERISA; Margin Regulations. (a) During the five year
period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed to be
made with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, no ERISA Event has occurred
or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such
ERISA Events for which liability has occurred during such five year period or
for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used
for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as
of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts,
exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value

accordance with Section 5.03), the Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully
perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of
the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for
the Obligations to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing Uniform

filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
Copyright Office, and, with respect to Collateral in which a security interest
cannot be perfected by such filings, upon the proper filing of the financing
statements referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Collateral Agreement and such
financing statements shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in the

copyrights acquired by the grantors after the date hereof).

            (c) The Mortgages, if any, entered into after the Restatement
Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.13 shall be effective to create in favor of
the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal,
valid and enforceable Lien on all of the Loan Parties' right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when
such Mortgages are filed in the proper real estate filing offices, such
Mortgages shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in,

other than with respect to the rights of Person pursuant to Liens expressly
permitted by Section 6.02(a).

      and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such

      of Credit, as applicable, no Default shall have occurred and be

Loan Party after the Restatement Effective Date or owned by an entity at the

of the West Credit Agreement). Promptly after receiving the proceeds of any
capital contribution from, or from the purchase of its Equity Interests by, the
Parent pursuant to this paragraph, Holdings will contribute the full amount
thereof to the common capital of the Borrower. Promptly after receiving payment
from any West Entity with respect to the provision by Holdings or any of its
subsidiaries of Shared Services to any West Entity, Parent will contribute the
full amount of such payment to the common capital of Holdings and, if such
Shared Services were performed by a subsidiary of Holdings, Holdings will
contribute such amount to the Borrower.

            (c) The Parent will ensure that any Shared Services Payments made by
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the Parent represent only reimbursement for
cash expenses actually incurred by the Parent or RHD Corp., as the case may be,
or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than Holdings, RHD Inc. or any of
their respective subsidiaries) (including accrued costs payable in cash by the
Parent or RHD Corp., as the case may be, or any of their respective subsidiaries
(other than Holdings, RHD Inc. or any of their respective subsidiaries) within
the 30-day period after its receipt of a Shared Services Payment) that are
directly attributable to the provision of Shared Services to the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries or, if not directly attributable to such Shared Services, are
not directly attributable to Shared Services provided to any other Persons and
represent a fair and equitable allocation of such out-of-pocket expenses that
are not so directly attributable among the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, on the
one hand, and all other Persons, on the other hand, to which the Parent or RHD
Corp., as the case may be, or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than
Holdings, RHD Inc. or any of their respective subsidiaries) provides Shared
Services (including the West Borrower and its subsidiaries (including
"unrestricted subsidiaries" permitted by the West Credit Facilities) and any
Unrestricted Subsidiaries). Shared Services Payments will not in any event
include payments in respect of trade payables incurred in connection with the
conduct of the Permitted Businesses of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries
(including, for example, payables relating to printing costs, distribution
costs, and costs of inventory, paper and other raw materials), which shall be
incurred and paid directly by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (it being
understood, however, that trade payables of the Parent or RHD Corp., as the case
may be, or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than Holdings, RHD Inc.
or any of their respective subsidiaries) incurred in the ordinary course
relating to assets included in the Shared Services Assets and Operations or the
provision of Shared Services may be incurred by the Parent or RHD Corp., as the
case may be, or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than Holdings, RHD
Inc. or any of their respective subsidiaries) and reimbursed as Shared Services
Payments in accordance herewith). The Parent will invoice the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries for Shared Services Payments on a periodic basis, not less
frequently than quarterly. The Parent will from time to time provide the
Administrative Agent with such analyses and other information regarding Shared
Services Payments, including with respect to attributions and allocations of
costs and expenses to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request.

            Section 6.22 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) Holdings
may not designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and Holdings may
after the Original Closing Date designate any other newly formed or acquired
subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Agreement (a "Designation")
only if:

            (i) such subsidiary does not own any Equity Interests of any
      Subsidiary;

                                                                              74

            (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at
      the time of or after giving effect to such Designation;

            (iii) after giving effect to such Designation and any related
      Investment to be made in such designated subsidiary by Holdings or any
      Subsidiary (which shall in any event include any existing Investment in
      such Person at the time it is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary),
      (A) any such existing Investment and related Investment would comply with
      Section 6.04 and (B) Holdings and the Subsidiaries would be in compliance
      with each of the Financial Covenants, calculated on a pro forma basis as
      if such Designation and Investment had occurred immediately prior to the
      first day of the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently
      ended; and

            (iv) Holdings has delivered to the Administrative Agent (A) written
      notice of such Designation and (B) a certificate, dated the effective date
      of such Designation, of a Financial Officer stating that no Event of
      Default has occurred and is continuing and setting forth reasonably
      detailed calculations demonstrating pro forma compliance with the
      Financial Covenants in accordance with paragraph (iii) above.

            (b) Neither Holdings nor any Subsidiary shall at any time (i)
provide a Guarantee of any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary, (ii) be
directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted
Subsidiary or (iii) be directly or indirectly liable for any other Indebtedness
which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both)
declare a default thereon (or cause such Indebtedness or the payment thereof to
be accelerated, payable or subject to repurchase prior to its final scheduled
maturity) upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any other
Indebtedness that is Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, except in the
case of clause (i) or (ii) to the extent permitted under Section 6.01 and 6.04
hereof. Each Designation shall be irrevocable, and no Unrestricted Subsidiary
may become a Subsidiary, be merged with or into Holdings or any Subsidiary or
liquidate into or transfer substantially all its assets to Holdings or any
Subsidiary.

            Section 6.23 Employee Outsourcing Arrangements. In the event of any
bankruptcy or insolvency of the West Borrower while the Employee Cost Sharing
Agreement is in effect, the Borrower will, unless the Required Lenders otherwise
consent, use its commercially reasonable efforts (including by exercising such
rights as are legally available to it under such agreement) to directly employ
all Associated Employees as soon as practicable.

            Section 6.24 Commingling of Accounts. Each of Holdings and the
Borrower will not, nor will it cause or permit any Subsidiary to, commingle
amounts relating to Securitization Assets sold pursuant to a Securitization with
cash or any other amounts of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries other
than the temporary commingling of collections on and proceeds of any accounts
receivable or related assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in each case
as may be necessary to identify and sort such collections and proceeds.

Article) payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, when and as

unremedied for a period of three Business Days;

      (c) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of

continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after notice thereof from the
Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which notice will promptly be given at the
request of any Lender);

      (f) Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall fail to make any
payment (whether of principal or interest and regardless of amount) in respect
of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable
(after giving effect to any applicable grace period specified in the agreement
or instrument governing such Indebtedness);

      (g) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material
Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or
permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) the
holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or
their behalf to cause any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the
prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled
maturity; provided that this clause (g) (i) shall not apply to (A) secured
Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of
the property or assets securing such Indebtedness and (B) repurchases of the
Existing Notes pursuant to the Change in Control Offers and (ii) shall give
effect to any notice required or grace period provided in the agreement or
instrument governing such relevant Material Indebtedness, but shall not give
effect to any waiver granted by the holders of such relevant Material
Indebtedness after the giving of such notice or during such applicable grace
period;

      (h) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary
petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief
in respect of Holdings, the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary or its debts, or
of a substantial part of its assets, under any Federal, state or foreign
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect
or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator,
conservator or similar official for Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or

            (k) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the
      Required Lenders, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that
      have occurred, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
      Adverse Effect;

            (l) any Lien purported to be created under any Security Document

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter
during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may with the
consent of the Required Lenders, and at the request of the Required Lenders
shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions,
at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the

and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall
become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in
case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of
the Loans then outstanding,

<PAGE>

                                                                              77

together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the
Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                    THE AGENT

            Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints
the Agent as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of
the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.

            The bank serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business
with Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if
it were not the Agent hereunder.

            The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to
exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent,
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or
obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity
(other than as Agent). The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge
of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by
Holdings, the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in
connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan
Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any
Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan
Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Agent.

            The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely
upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be

<PAGE>

                                                                              78

liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of
any such counsel, accountants or experts.

            The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights
and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

            Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor to the
Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such
consent not to be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or
(i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If
no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office
in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of
its appointment as Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

            Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement
or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

            Each party hereto authorizes the Agent to enter into customary
intercreditor agreements in connection with Securitizations permitted under this
Agreement.

            (iv) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy
      number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

            (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be
delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not
apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the
Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.

            (c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
given on the date of receipt.

            Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this
Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any
Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at
the time.

            (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any
provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the
case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case
of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties
thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender

without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of
any Loan or LC Disbursement held by any Lender or reduce the rate of interest
thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of
such Lender, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Lender's Loan, or any scheduled
date of payment of the principal amount of any Lender's Term Loan under Section
2.10, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement held by any
Lender, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable to any
Lender hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written
consent of such Lender, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that
would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or change the last
sentence of Section 2.08(c) in a manner which would alter the pro rata reduction
of Commitments thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change
any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required Lenders" or
any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights
thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without
the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case
may be), (vi) release Holdings or any Subsidiary Loan Party from its Guarantee
under the Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Collateral
Agreement), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the
written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or any substantial part of the
Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent
of each Lender, (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner
that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to
Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any
other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in
interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class
or (ix) limit the rights of the Tranche B Lenders to decline mandatory
prepayments as provided in Section 2.11, without the written consent of Tranche
B Lenders holding a majority of the outstanding Tranche B Loans; provided,
further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without
the prior written consent of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be, and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of
this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this
Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but not the Tranche A Lenders and Tranche B
Lenders), the Tranche A Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders and Tranche B
Lenders) or the Tranche B Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders and Tranche A
Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by Holdings, the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the affected
Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if
such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by
an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower, the Required
Lenders and the Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby,
the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement
the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for
therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the
time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto
receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan
made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under
this Agreement.

            (c) 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 (ix), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b),
the consent of Lenders having Revolving Exposures, Term Loans and unused
Commitments representing more than 66-2/3% of the sum of the total Revolving
Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at such time 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, so long as all
non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as
described in either clause (i) or (ii) below, to either (i) replace each such
non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the Borrower if any such
Lender's consent is required with respect to less than all Classes of Loans (or
related Commitments), to replace only the Commitments and/or Loans of any such
non-consenting

Lender that gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender's individual consent)
with one or more assignees pursuant to, and with the effect of an assignment
under, Section 2.19 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such
assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or
(ii) terminate such non-consenting Lender's Commitment (if such Lender's consent
is required as a result of its Commitment) and/or repay each Class of
outstanding Loans of such Lender that gave rise to the need to obtain such
Lender's consent and/or cash collateralize its LC Exposure, in accordance with
Section 2.05(j); provided (A) that, unless the Commitments that are terminated
and Loans that are repaid pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) 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 the preceding clause (ii), Lenders having Revolving Exposures, Term
Loans and unused Commitments representing more than 66-2/3% of the sum of the
total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at such
time (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically
consent thereto and (B) any such replacement or termination transaction
described above shall be effective on the date notice is given of the relevant
transaction and shall have a settlement date no earlier than five Business Days
and no later than 90 days after the relevant transaction; 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 9.02(b).

            Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower
shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the
Arrangers and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of (a) a single transaction and documentation counsel for the
Agent and the Arrangers and (b) such other local counsel and special counsel as
may be required in the reasonable judgment of the Agent and the Arrangers, in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein,
the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection
with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, (including the
fees, charges and disbursements of (a) a single transaction and documentation
counsel for the Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender and (b)
such other local counsel and special counsel as may be required in the
reasonable judgment of the Agent and the Arrangers) in connection with
documentary taxes or the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection
with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including
all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

            (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Arrangers, the
Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of (a) a single
transaction and documentation counsel for any Indemnitee and (b) such other
local counsel and special counsel as may be required in the reasonable judgment
of the Agent and the Arrangers, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective
obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other
transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with

<PAGE>

                                                                              82

the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other
property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.

            (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required
to be paid by it to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such
Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as
such. For purposes hereof, a Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined based
upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term
Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

            (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor
the Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use of the proceeds thereof.

            (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than 10 days after written demand therefor.

            Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i)
the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

            (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii)
below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior written
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

            (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be
      required (x) for an assignment by a Revolving Lender to an existing
      Revolving Lender or an assignment of Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate
      of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, (y) if an

                                                                              83

      Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has
      occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

            (B) the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an assignment of
      all or a portion of any Lender's obligations in respect of its LC
      Exposure, the Issuing Bank), provided that no consent of the
      Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall be
      required for an assignment of Term Loans to an assignee that is a Lender
      immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, an Affiliate of a
      Lender or an Approved Fund.

        (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following conditions:

            (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of
      a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining
      amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, the amount of the Commitment
      of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of
      the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
      delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000
      unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
      consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required
      if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII
      has occurred and is continuing;

            (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
      proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
      under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to
      prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
      Lender's rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or
      Loans;

            (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
      Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
      processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (it being understood that only a
      single processing and recordation fee of $3,500 will be payable with
      respect to any multiple assignments to or by a Lender, an Affiliate of a
      Lender or an Approved Fund pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above, each of which
      is individually less than $1,000,000, that are simultaneously
      consummated); and

            (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
      Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

            For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "Approved Fund" has
the following meaning:

            "Approved Fund" means any Person (other than an natural person) that
is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is
administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) any
entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

            (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any

                                                                              84

assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

            (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment
and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time, which register shall indicate that each lender is entitled to
interest paid with respect to such Loans and LC Disbursements (the "Register").
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the
Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

            (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

            (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in
all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.
Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

            (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

            (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations
of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

            Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and
so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this
Agreement or any provision hereof.

            Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when the conditions set forth in
Section 4 of the Agreement to Amend and Restate shall have been satisfied, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

            Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

            Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time
owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Lender may have.

Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the law of the State of New York.

            (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and

a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner

affect any right that the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against Holdings, the Borrower or its properties in the courts of
any jurisdiction.

            (c) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action or proceeding in any such court.

            (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND

Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from Holdings or
the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at
the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary or in any other written or oral understanding or
agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound,

contained herein and therein do not apply and have not applied from the

structure of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and (ii) each

disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax
treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure; provided that tax treatment and tax structure shall not include the
identity of any existing or future party (or any affiliate of such party) to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and provided further that each party
recognizes that the privilege each has to maintain, in its sole discretion, the
confidentiality of a communication relating to the transactions contemplated by

taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
