                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

         This Credit Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2002, (this "Agreement")
among the financial institutions from time to time parties hereto (such
financial institutions, together with their respective successors and assigns,
are referred to hereinafter each individually as a "Lender" and collectively as
the "Lenders"), Bank of America, N.A. with an office at 600 Peachtree Street,
5th Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30308, as agent for the Lenders (in its capacity as
agent, the "Agent"), Citicorp USA, Inc., as Syndication Agent, and Coltec
Industries Inc, a Pennsylvania corporation ("Coltec"), Coltec Industrial
Products LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CIP"), Garlock Sealing
Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Garlock Sealing"),
Garlock Bearings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Garlock Bearing"),
Haber Tool Company, a Michigan corporation ("Haber Tool"), and Stemco LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("Stemco" and, together with Coltec, CIP,
Garlock Sealing, Garlock Bearing and Haber Tool, each individually referred to
herein as a "Borrower" and collectively as "Borrowers") with Coltec acting in
its capacity as Funds Administrator for the Borrowers.

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested the Lenders to make available to
the Borrowers a revolving line of credit for loans and letters of credit in an
amount not to exceed $60,000,000, which extensions of credit the Borrowers will
use for the purposes permitted hereunder;

         WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A which is
attached hereto and incorporated herein; the rules of construction contained
therein shall govern the interpretation of this Agreement, and all Annexes,
Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference;

         WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrowers a
revolving credit facility upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and
agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Lenders, the Agent, and the
Borrowers hereby agree as follows.

                                   ARTICLE 1
                           LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

         1.1      Total Facility. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make available a total credit facility of
up to $60,000,000 (the "Total Facility") to the Borrowers from time to time
during the term of this Agreement. The Total Facility shall be composed of a
revolving line of credit consisting of Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit
described herein.

         1.2      Revolving Loans.

<PAGE>

                  (a)      Amounts. Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Article 8, each Lender severally, but not
jointly, agrees, upon the Funds Administrator's request from time to time on any
Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date, to
make revolving loans (the "Revolving Loans") to the Borrowers on a joint and
several basis in amounts not to exceed such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
Availability with respect to Garlock Sealing or the Excess Collateral Providers,
as the case may be (or if less, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of Aggregate
Availability), on behalf of which such request is made, except for Non-Ratable
Loans and Agent Advances. The Lenders, however, in their unanimous discretion,
may elect to make Revolving Loans or issue or arrange to have issued Letters of
Credit in excess of the applicable Garlock Sealing Borrowing Base or the Excess
Collateral Providers Borrowing Base (as applicable) on one or more occasions,
but if they do so, neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed thereby to
have changed the limits of such Borrowing Base or to be obligated to exceed such
limits on any other occasion. If any Borrowing to Garlock Sealing would exceed
the Availability of Garlock Sealing, any Borrowing to the Excess Collateral
Providers would exceed the Availability of the Excess Collateral Providers, or
any Borrowing to any Borrower exceed Aggregate Availability, the Lenders may
refuse to make or may otherwise restrict the making of such Revolving Loans as
the Lenders determine until such excess has been eliminated, subject to the
Agent's authority, in its sole discretion, to make Agent Advances pursuant to
the terms of Section 1.2(i).

                  (b)      Procedure for Borrowing.

                           (1)      Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Funds
Administrator's irrevocable written notice delivered by the Funds Administrator
to the Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing ("Notice of Borrowing"), which
must be received by the Agent prior to (i) 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) three
Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Rate
Loans and (ii) 12:00 noon (Eastern time) on the requested Funding Date, in the
case of Base Rate Loans, specifying:

                           (A)      the amount of the Borrowing, which in the
case of a LIBOR Rate Loan must equal or exceed $2,000,000 (and increments of
$1,000,000 in excess of such amount);

                           (B)      the requested Funding Date, which must be a
Business Day;

                           (C)      whether the Revolving Loans requested are to
be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed
a request for a Base Rate Loan);

                           (D)      the duration of the Interest Period for
LIBOR Rate Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an
Interest Period of one month); and

                           (E)      the applicable Borrower(s) (i.e. Garlock
Sealing or the Excess Collateral Providers) on behalf of which such request is
made;

provided, however, that with respect to any Borrowing to be made on the Closing
Date, such Borrowings will consist of Base Rate Loans only.

                                       2

<PAGE>

                           (2)      In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing,
the Funds Administrator may give the Agent telephonic notice of such request for
advances to the Designated Account on or before the deadline set forth above.
The Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice in
making such Revolving Loans, regardless of whether any written confirmation is
received.

                           (3)      The Borrowers shall have no right to request
a LIBOR Rate Loan while a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

                  (c)      Reliance upon Authority. Prior to the Closing Date,
the Funds Administrator shall deliver to the Agent, a notice setting forth the
account of each of Garlock Sealing and the Funds Administrator (each a
"Designated Account") to which the Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds
of the Revolving Loans requested hereunder. The Funds Administrator may
designate a replacement account from time to time by written notice. All such
Designated Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent is
entitled to rely conclusively on any person's request for Revolving Loans on
behalf of any Borrower or the Funds Administrator, so long as the proceeds
thereof are to be transferred to the applicable Designated Account. The Agent
has no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself or
herself as a person authorized by any Borrower or the Funds Administrator to
make such requests on its behalf.

                  (d)      No Liability. The Agent shall not incur any liability
to any Borrower or the Funds Administrator as a result of acting upon any notice
referred to in Sections 1.2(b) and (c), which the Agent believes in good faith
to have been given by an officer or other person duly authorized by any Borrower
or the Funds Administrator to request Revolving Loans on its behalf. The
crediting of Revolving Loans to the applicable Designated Account conclusively
establishes the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Revolving Loans as
provided herein.

                  (e)      Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or
telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be
irrevocable. The Borrowers shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein
in accordance therewith.

                  (f)      Agent's Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice
of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Agent shall elect to
have the terms of Section 1.2(g) or the terms of Section 1.2(h) apply to such
requested Borrowing. If the Bank declines in its sole discretion to make a
Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to Section 1.2(h), the terms of Section 1.2(g) shall
apply to the requested Borrowing.

                  (g)      Making of Revolving Loans. If Agent elects to have
the terms of this Section 1.2(g) apply to a requested Borrowing, then promptly
after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice in lieu thereof, the
Agent shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone or e-mail of the requested
Borrowing. Each Lender shall transfer its Pro Rata Share of the requested
Borrowing available to the Agent in immediately available funds, to the account
from time to time designated by Agent, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
on the applicable Funding Date. After the Agent's receipt of all proceeds of
such Revolving Loans, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans
available to the designated Borrower(s) on the

                                       3

<PAGE>

applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to the account of Garlock
Sealing in the case of a Revolving Loan to Garlock Sealing and/or the Funds
Administrator in the case of a Revolving Loan to the Excess Collateral Providers
(as applicable); provided, however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made
on any date shall not exceed the applicable Availability of the applicable
Borrowers on such date nor shall the amount of Revolving Loans made on any date
exceed Aggregate Availability.

                  (h)      Making of Non-Ratable Loans.

                  (A)      If Agent elects, with the consent of the Bank, to
have the terms of this Section 1.2(h) apply to a requested Borrowing, the Bank
shall make a Revolving Loan in the amount of that Borrowing available on the
applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to the applicable
Designated Account. Each Revolving Loan made solely by the Bank pursuant to this
Section is herein referred to as a "Non-Ratable Loan", and such Revolving Loans
are collectively referred to as the "Non-Ratable Loans." Each Non-Ratable Loan
shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Revolving
Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Bank solely for
its own account. The aggregate amount of Non-Ratable Loans outstanding at any
time shall not exceed $5,000,000. The Agent shall not request the Bank to make
any Non-Ratable Loan if (1) the Agent has received written notice from any
Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article 8 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable
Borrowing, (2) the requested Borrowing on behalf of Garlock Sealing or the
Excess Collateral Providers would exceed the applicable Availability of such
Persons on that Funding Date or (3) the requested Borrowing would exceed
Aggregate Availability on that Funding Date.

                  (B)      The Non-Ratable Loans shall be secured by the Agent's
Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Base Rate Loans and
Obligations hereunder.

                  (i)      Agent Advances.

                  (A)      Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Agent
is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent's
sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default,
or (B) at any time that any of the other conditions precedent set forth in
Article 8 have not been satisfied, to make Base Rate Loans to any Borrower on
behalf of the Lenders in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to
exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base of such Borrower but not in excess of the
Maximum Revolver Amount which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment,
deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any
portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of,
repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (3) to pay any other amount
chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including
costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 13.7 (any of such advances are
herein referred to as "Agent Advances"); provided, that the Majority Lenders may
at any time revoke the Agent's authorization to make Agent Advances. Any such
revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the
Agent's receipt thereof.

                  (B)      The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Agent's
Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Base Rate Loans and
Obligations hereunder.

         1.3      [Reserved.]

         1.4      Letters of Credit.

                  (a)      Agreement to Issue or Cause To Issue. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Agent agrees (i) to cause the Letter
of Credit Issuer to issue for the account of each Borrower one or more
commercial/documentary and standby letters of credit ("Letter of Credit") and/or
(ii) to provide credit support or other enhancement to a Letter of Credit Issuer
acceptable to Agent, which issues a Letter of Credit for the account of each
Borrower (any such credit support or enhancement being herein referred to as a
"Credit Support") from time to time during the term of this Agreement.

                  (b)      Amounts; Outside Expiration Date. The Agent shall not
have any obligation to issue or cause to be issued any Letter of Credit or to
provide Credit Support for any Letter of Credit at any time if: (i) the maximum
face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is greater than the Unused Letter
of Credit Subfacility at such time; (ii) the maximum undrawn amount of the
requested Letter of Credit by the Funds Administrator on behalf of any Borrower
and all commissions, fees, and charges due from such Borrower in connection with
the opening thereof would exceed either (A) the applicable Availability of
Garlock Sealing or the Excess Collateral Providers, as applicable, or (B)
Aggregate Availability at such time; or (iii) such Letter of Credit has an
expiration date less than 30 days prior to the Stated Termination Date or more
than 12 months from the date of issuance for standby letters of credit and 180
days for documentary letters of credit. With respect to any Letter of Credit
which contains any "evergreen" or automatic renewal provision, each Lender shall
be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal unless any such
Lender shall have provided to the Agent, written notice that it declines to
consent to any such extension or renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the
date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer is entitled to decline to extend or
renew the Letter of Credit. If all of the requirements of this Section 1.4 are
met and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender
shall decline to consent to any such extension or renewal.

                  (c)      Other Conditions. In addition to conditions precedent
contained in Article 8, the obligation of the Agent to issue or to cause to be
issued any Letter of Credit or to provide Credit Support for any Letter of
Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent having been satisfied in
a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent:

                           (1)      The Funds Administrator (on behalf of the
requesting Borrower) shall have delivered to the Letter of Credit Issuer, at
such times and in such manner as such Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, an
application in form and substance satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer
and reasonably satisfactory to the Agent for the issuance of the Letter of
Credit and such other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms
thereof, and the form, terms and purpose of the proposed Letter of Credit shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; and

                           (2)      As of the date of issuance, no order of any
court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin
or restrain money center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the
type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of

                                       5

<PAGE>

Credit, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks
generally and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks
generally shall prohibit, or request that the proposed Letter of Credit Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of
such Letters of Credit.

                  (d)      Issuance of Letters of Credit.

                           (1)      Request for Issuance. The Funds
Administrator must notify the Agent of a requested Letter of Credit at least
three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date. Such notice shall
be irrevocable and must specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit
requested, the Business Day of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit,
whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the
Business Day on which the requested Letter of Credit is to expire, the purpose
for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the
requested Letter of Credit. The Funds Administrator shall attach to such notice
the proposed form of the Letter of Credit.

                           (2)      Responsibilities of the Agent; Issuance. As
of the Business Day immediately preceding the requested issuance date of the
Letter of Credit, the Agent shall determine the amount of the applicable Unused
Letter of Credit Subfacility, the applicable Availability of the applicable
Borrower and Aggregate Availability. If (i) the face amount of the requested
Letter of Credit is less than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (ii)
the amount of such requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and
charges due from such Borrower in connection with the opening thereof would not
exceed such Borrower's applicable Availability or Aggregate Availability, the
Agent shall cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue the requested Letter of
Credit on the requested issuance date so long as the other conditions hereof are
met.

                           (3)      No Extensions or Amendment. The Agent shall
not be obligated to cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to extend or amend any
Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto unless the requirements of this Section
1.4 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.

                  (e)      Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit. The Borrowers
agree on a joint and several basis to reimburse immediately the Letter of Credit
Issuer for any draw under any Letter of Credit and the Agent for the account of
the Lenders upon any payment pursuant to any Credit Support, and to pay the
Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all other charges and fees payable to the
Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately when
due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the
Borrowers may have at any time against the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other
Person. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by
the Funds Administrator on behalf of the applicable Borrower to the Agent for a
Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount of such drawing. The Funding Date
with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing.

                                       6

<PAGE>

                  (f)      Indemnification; Exoneration; Power of Attorney.

                           (1)      Indemnification. In addition to amounts
payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrowers agree to
protect, indemnify, pay and save the Lenders and the Agent harmless from and
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs,
charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which any Lender or
the Agent (other than a Lender in its capacity as Letter of Credit Issuer) may
incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of
any Letter of Credit or the provision of any Credit Support or enhancement in
connection therewith. The Borrowers' obligations under this Section shall
survive payment of all other Obligations.

                           (2)      Assumption of Risk by the Borrowers. As
among the Borrowers, the Lenders, and the Agent, the Borrowers assume all risks
of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the
respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Lenders and the Agent shall not be responsible
for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect
of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for
and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of
Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency
of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign
any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof,
in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply
duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D)
errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be
in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make
a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the
misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any
drawing under such Letter of Credit; (H) any consequences arising from causes
beyond the control of the Lenders or the Agent, including any act or omission,
whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto
Governmental Authority or (I) the Letter of Credit Issuer's honor of a draw for
which the draw or any certificate fails to comply in any respect with the terms
of the Letter of Credit. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent
the vesting of any rights or powers of the Agent or any Lender under this
Section 1.4(f).

                           (3)      Exoneration. Without limiting the foregoing,
no action or omission by Agent or any Lender (excluding any Lender in its
capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer) with respect to any Letter of Credit
shall result in any liability of Agent or and Lender to the Borrowers, or
relieve the Borrowers of any of their respective obligations hereunder to any
such Person.

                           (4)      Rights Against Letter of Credit Issuer.
Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit the Borrowers' rights,
if any, with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer which arise as a result of
the letter of credit application and related documents executed by and between
the Borrowers and the Letter of Credit Issuer.

                                       7

<PAGE>

                           (5)      Account Party. The Borrowers hereby
authorize and direct any Letter of Credit Issuer to name the Borrowers (or any
applicable Borrower) as the "Account Party" therein and to deliver to the Agent
all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by the
Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit, and to accept and rely
upon the Agent's instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising
in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

                  (g)      Supporting Letter of Credit; Cash Collateral. If,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.4(b) and Section 10.1, any Letter of
Credit or Credit Support is outstanding upon the termination of this Agreement,
then upon such termination the Borrowers shall deposit with the Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of
Credit or Credit Support then outstanding, a standby letter of credit (a
"Supporting Letter of Credit") in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent,
issued by an issuer satisfactory to the Agent in an amount equal to the greatest
amount for which such Letter of Credit or such Credit Support may be drawn plus
any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or such Credit
Support, under which Supporting Letter of Credit the Agent is entitled to draw
amounts necessary to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for payments to be made
by the Agent and the Lenders under such Letter of Credit or Credit Support and
any fees and expenses associated with such Letter of Credit or Credit Support.
Such Supporting Letter of Credit shall be held by the Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, as security for, and to provide for the
payment of, the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit or such
Credit Support remaining outstanding.

         1.5      Bank Products. The Borrowers may request and the Agent may, in
its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for the Borrowers to obtain from the
Bank or the Bank's Affiliates Bank Products although the Borrowers are not
required to do so. If Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of the Bank,
the Borrowers agree, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify and hold the
Agent, the Bank and the Lenders harmless from any and all costs and obligations
now or hereafter incurred by the Agent, the Bank or any of the Lenders which
arise from any indemnity given by the Agent to its Affiliates related to such
Bank Products; provided, however, nothing contained herein is intended to limit
the Borrowers' rights, with respect to the Bank or its Affiliates, if any, which
arise as a result of the execution of documents by and between the Borrowers (or
any of them) and the Bank which relate to Bank Products. The agreement contained
in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. Each of the
Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of Bank Products from the
Bank or the Bank's Affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Bank or the Bank's Affiliates, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations
of the Bank or the Bank's Affiliates.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                                INTEREST AND FEES

         2.1      Interest.

                  (a)      Interest Rates. All outstanding Obligations shall
bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent
permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made
until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or
the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margins as set forth below,

                                       8

<PAGE>

but not to exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time Loans are outstanding with
respect to which the Funds Administrator has not delivered to the Agent a notice
specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto in
accordance herewith, those Loans shall bear interest at a rate determined by
reference to the Base Rate until notice to the contrary has been given to the
Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such notice has become effective.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding Obligations shall bear
interest as follows:

                           (i)      For all Base Rate Loans and other
         Obligations (other than LIBOR Rate Loans) at a fluctuating per annum
         rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

                           (ii)     For all LIBOR Rate Loans at a per annum rate
         equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable
to Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such change. All interest charges
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed
(which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a
365-day year). The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders, interest accrued on all Base Rate Loans in arrears on the first day of
each month hereafter and on the Termination Date. The Borrowers shall pay to the
Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, interest on all LIBOR Rate Loans in
arrears on each LIBOR Interest Payment Date.

                  (b)      Default Rate. If any Default or Event of Default
occurs and is continuing and the Agent or the Required Lenders in their
discretion so elect, then, while any such Default or Event of Default is
continuing, all of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate
applicable thereto.

         2.2      Continuation and Conversion Elections.

                  (a)      The Borrowers may (by notice from the Funds
Administrator):

                           (i)      elect, as of any Business Day, in the case
         of Base Rate Loans to convert any Base Rate Loans (or any part thereof
         in an amount not less than $2,000,000, or that is in an integral
         multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) into LIBOR Rate Loans; or

                           (ii)     elect, as of the last day of the applicable
         Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR Rate Loans having Interest
         Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less
         than $2,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
         excess thereof);

provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of LIBOR Rate Loans in
respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of
part thereof to be less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans; provided further that if the notice
shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period
shall be one month.

                                       9

<PAGE>

                  (b)      The Funds Administrator shall deliver a notice of
continuation/conversion ("Notice of Continuation/Conversion") to the Agent not
later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance
of the Continuation/Conversion Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or
continued as LIBOR Rate Loans and specifying:

                           (i)      the proposed Continuation/Conversion Date;

                           (ii)     the aggregate amount of Loans to be
                  converted or renewed;

                           (iii)    the type of Loans resulting from the
                  proposed conversion or continuation; and

                           (iv)     the duration of the requested Interest
                  Period, provided, however, the Funds Administrator may not
                  select an Interest Period that ends after the Stated
                  Termination Date.

                  (c)      If upon the expiration of any Interest Period
applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, the Funds Administrator has failed to select
timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans or if any
Default or Event of Default then exists, the Funds Administrator shall be deemed
to have elected to convert such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective
as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

                  (d)      The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its
receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and
continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held
by each Lender.

                  (e)      There may not be more than ten (10) different LIBOR
Rate Loans in effect hereunder at any time.

         2.3      Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate
provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by any Lender
under applicable law for such Lender with respect to loans of the type provided
for hereunder (the "Maximum Rate"). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent
such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate
for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that
interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest
rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest
paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the
same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment
in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under
the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which
would, but for this Section 2.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate
otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the
Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for
the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of
(i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate
had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would
have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all
times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued
under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the
Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in

                                       10

<PAGE>

excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of,
and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than
interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations
outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrowers such
excess.

         2.4      Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree on a joint and several basis
to pay the Agent the fees as set forth in the fee letter dated May 16 2002,
between the Agent and the Borrowers.

         2.5      Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each month and on the
Termination Date the Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee
(the "Unused Line Fee") equal to the Applicable Unused Line Rate per annum on
each day during the immediately preceding month (or shorter period if calculated
for the first month hereafter or on the Termination Date) times the amount by
which the Maximum Revolver Amount exceeded the sum of the outstanding amount of
Revolving Loans and the undrawn face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit on
such day. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
for the actual number of days elapsed. All principal payments received by the
Agent shall be deemed to be credited to the Borrowers' Loan Accounts immediately
upon receipt for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to this
Section 2.5.

         2.6      Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent,
for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Shares, for each Letter of Credit, a per annum fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee")
equal to (i) the Applicable Margin with respect to LIBOR Loans in effect from
time to time in the case of documentary Letters of Credit and (ii) the
Applicable Margin with respect to LIBOR Loans in effect from time to time plus
one-eighth percent (0.125%) per annum facing fee in the case of standby Letters
of Credit, and to the Letter of Credit Issuer, all other customary out-of-pocket
costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection
with the application for, processing of, issuance of, or amendment to any Letter
of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the
first day of each month following any month in which a Letter of Credit is
outstanding and on the Termination Date. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                            PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS

         3.1      Revolving Loans. The Borrowers shall repay the outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Loans, plus all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon, on the Termination Date. The Borrowers may prepay Revolving Loans at
any time, and reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement. In addition, and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon demand the Borrowers
shall pay to the Agent, for account of the Lenders, (i) the amount, without
duplication, by which the Aggregate Revolver Outstandings exceeds the lesser of
the aggregate Borrowing Base or the Maximum Revolver Amount, (ii) the amount by
which the Aggregate Revolver Outstandings of Garlock Sealing exceeds the Garlock
Sealing Borrowing Base and (iii) the amount by which the Aggregate Revolver
Outstandings of the Excess Collateral Providers exceeds the Excess Collateral
Providers Borrowing Base.

         3.2      Termination of Facility. The Borrowers may terminate this
Agreement upon at least ten (10) Business Days' notice to the Agent and the
Lenders, upon (a) the payment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans,
together with accrued interest thereon, and the cancellation and return of all
outstanding Letters of Credit, (b) the payment in full in cash of all
reimbursable expenses and other Obligations, and (e) with respect to any LIBOR
Rate Loans prepaid, payment of the amounts due under Section 4.4, if any

         3.3      Lockboxes and Blocked Accounts.

         (a)      (I)      Each Borrower shall have established and shall
                  maintain, at one or more financial institutions selected by
                  such Borrower and acceptable to the Agent (each a "Lockbox
                  Bank"), one or more lockboxes (with respect to each Borrower,
                  such Borrower's "Lockboxes") and shall instruct all account
                  debtors on the Accounts of such Borrower to remit all payments
                  to such Borrower's Lockboxes. Each applicable Borrower shall
                  maintain a depository account at each Lockbox Bank (with
                  respect to each Borrower, such Borrower's "Depository
                  Accounts") and shall cause all amounts remitted to each such
                  Lockbox to be deposited into such Depository Accounts. Each
                  Borrower, the Agent and the applicable financial institutions
                  shall have entered into a Lockbox and Control Agreement
                  providing, among other things, that all amounts which are
                  deposited into the Depository Accounts shall be transferred at
                  the end of each day to, (A) in the case of Garlock Sealing,
                  the Garlock Sealing Concentration Account and (B) in the case
                  of any Excess Collateral Provider, the Excess Collateral
                  Provider Concentration Account. All amounts received by any
                  Borrower from any account debtor, in addition to all other
                  cash received from any other source that constitutes proceeds
                  of Collateral, shall upon receipt be deposited into (A) in the
                  case of such a receipt by Garlock Sealing, the Garlock Sealing
                  Concentration Account and (B) in the case of such a receipt by
                  an Excess Collateral Provider, the Excess Collateral Provider
                  Concentration Account. In addition, from and after the Closing
                  Date the Borrowers shall cause all proceeds payable to any
                  Borrower under or in connection with any Asbestos Insurance
                  Policy to be deposited into the Insurance Proceeds Account.

                           (ii)     In addition, (A) Garlock Sealing and the
                  Bank and (B) each of the Excess Collateral Providers and the
                  Bank shall enter into agreements (each a "Concentration
                  Account Agreement") providing that all available amounts held
                  or received in the Garlock Sealing Concentration Account or
                  the Excess Collateral Providers Concentration Account shall be
                  transferred at the end of each day to an account maintained by
                  the Agent at the Bank (the "Agent Account") and applied in
                  accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8 hereof and
                  Section 11(c) of the Security Agreement.

                           (iii)    The closing of any Lockbox, any related
                  Depository Account, and the termination of any Lockbox and
                  Control Agreement

                                       12

<PAGE>

                  shall require in each case the prior written consent of the
                  Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
                  Borrowers shall not close either of the Garlock Concentration
                  Account or the Excess Collateral Providers Concentration
                  Account or any related Concentration Account Agreement without
                  the prior written consent of the Agent.

                  (b)      All amounts received by the Agent for distribution
hereunder shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be applied in
the order and manner set forth in Section 3.8 hereof and Section 11(c) of the
Security Agreement.

         3.4      [Reserved].

         3.5      LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayments. In connection with any
prepayment, if any LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid prior to the expiration date of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders
the amounts described in Section 4.4.

         3.6      Payments by the Borrowers.

                  (a)      All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be
made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers shall be made to the Agent for
the account of the Lenders, at the account designated by the Agent and shall be
made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m.
(Eastern time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent
after such time shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to
have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest
shall continue to accrue.

                  (b)      Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition
of "Interest Period", whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension
of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees,
as the case may be.

         3.7      Payments as Revolving Loans. At the election of Agent, all
payments of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations in connection with
Letters of Credit and Credit Support for Letters of Credit, fees, premiums,
reimbursable expenses and other sums payable hereunder, may be paid from the
proceeds of Revolving Loans made hereunder. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably
authorize the Agent to charge the Loan Accounts for the purpose of paying all
amounts from time to time due hereunder and agrees that all such amounts charged
shall constitute Revolving Loans (including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent
Advances).

         3.8      Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal
and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according
to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held
by each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned
ratably among the Lenders, except for fees payable solely to Agent and the
Letter of Credit Issuer and except as provided in Section 11.1(b). All payments
shall be remitted to the Agent and all such payments not relating to principal
or interest of specific Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees, and
all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by the Agent, shall be
applied, ratably, subject to the

                                       13

<PAGE>

provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense
reimbursements then due to the Agent from the Borrowers; second, to pay any fees
or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers; third, to
pay interest due in respect of all Loans, including Non-Ratable Loans and Agent
Advances; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent
Advances; fifth, to pay or prepay principal of the Revolving Loans (other than
Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) and unpaid reimbursement obligations in
respect of Letters of Credit (provided that, unless payment is otherwise
required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or a Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
required other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period); sixth,
to pay an amount to Agent equal to all due and outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations (and, to the extent required pursuant to this Agreement or after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default an additional
amount to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations not yet due); seventh,
to the payment of any other Obligation, including any amounts relating to Bank
Products due to the Agent or any Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender) by the
Borrowers; and eighth, to the Funds Administrator for the benefit of the
Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
unless so directed by the Funds Administrator, or unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall apply any
payments which it receives to any LIBOR Rate Loan, except (a) on the expiration
date of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Rate Loan, or (b) in
the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans
and, in any event, the Borrowers shall pay LIBOR breakage losses in accordance
with Section 4.4. The Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and
exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and
payments to any portion of the Obligations.

         3.9      Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any
payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations,
the Agent, any Lender, the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank is for any reason
compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such
payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set
aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff,
or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or
part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this
Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not
been received by the Agent or such Lender and the Borrowers shall be liable to
pay to the Agent and the Lenders, and hereby indemnify the Agent and the Lenders
and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless for the amount of such payment or
proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 3.9 shall be and remain
effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the
Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds,
and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent's
and the Lenders' rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been
conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and
irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 3.9 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.

         3.10     Agent's and Lenders' Books and Records; Monthly Statements.
The Agent shall record the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender,
the undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate
amount of unpaid reimbursement obligations outstanding with respect to the
Letters of Credit from time to time on its books. In

                                       14

<PAGE>

addition, each Lender may note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment
of principal of such Lender's Loans in its books and records. Failure by Agent
or any Lender to make such notation shall not affect the obligations of the
Borrowers with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit. The Borrowers
agree that the Agent's and each Lender's books and records showing the
Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and
shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof, irrespective of whether
any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. The
Agent will provide to the Funds Administrator a monthly statement of Loans,
payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement
shall be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrowers and an account
stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in
Section 3.8 and corrections of errors discovered by the Agent), unless the Funds
Administrator notifies the Agent in writing to the contrary within sixty (60)
days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of
objections is given by the Funds Administrator, only the items to which
exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrowers.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

         4.1      Taxes.

                  (a)      Any and all payments by the Borrowers to each Lender
or the Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. In addition,
the Borrowers shall pay all Other Taxes.

                  (b)      Each of the Borrowers agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes
(including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section) paid by any Lender or the Agent and any liability
(including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30
days after the date such Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor.

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

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

                           (ii)     the applicable Borrower shall make such
         deductions and withholdings;

                                       15

<PAGE>

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

                           (iv)     the Borrowers shall also pay to each Lender
         or the Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time interest is
         paid, all additional amounts which the respective Lender specifies as
         necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would have
         received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

                  (d)      At the Agent's request, within 30 days after the date
of any payment by the Borrowers of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Funds Administrator
shall furnish the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Agent.

                  (e)      If any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts
to any Lender or the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office so as to
eliminate any such additional payment by such Borrower which may thereafter
accrue, if such change in the judgment of such Lender is not otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.

         4.2      Illegality.

                  (a)      If any Lender determines that the introduction of any
Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it
unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make
LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by that Lender to the Funds
Administrator through the Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR
Rate Loans shall be suspended until that Lender notifies the Agent and the Funds
Administrator that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist.

                  (b)      If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to
maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall, upon receipt by the Funds
Administrator of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to
the Agent), prepay in full such LIBOR Rate Loans of that Lender then
outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under
Section 4.4, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if that
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or
immediately, if that Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR
Rate Loans. If any Borrower is required to so prepay any LIBOR Rate Loans, then
concurrently with such prepayment, such Borrower shall borrow from the affected
Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan.

         4.3      Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

                  (a)      If any Lender determines that due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change in the interpretation of any law or regulation or
(ii) the compliance by that Lender

                                       16

<PAGE>

with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase
in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
any LIBOR Rate Loans, then the Borrowers shall be liable for, and shall from
time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent),
pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs.

                  (b)      If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the
introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital
Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of
any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental
Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv)
compliance by such Lender or any corporation or other entity controlling such
Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount
of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any
corporation or other entity controlling such Lender and (taking into
consideration such Lender's or such corporation's or other entity's policies
with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital)
determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its
Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon
demand of such Lender to the Funds Administrator through the Agent, the
Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such
Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increase.

         4.4      Funding Losses. The Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender and
hold each Lender harmless on a joint and several basis from any loss or expense
which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

                  (a)      the failure of any Borrower to make on a timely basis
         any payment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan;

                  (b)      the failure of any Borrower to borrow, continue or
         convert a Loan after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have
         given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation/Conversion; or

                  (c)      the prepayment or other payment (including after
         acceleration thereof) of any LIBOR Rate Loans on a day that is not the
         last day of the relevant Interest Period;

including any such loss of anticipated profit and any loss or expense arising
from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its
LIBOR Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such
funds were obtained. Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees
charged by any Lender in connection with the foregoing.

         4.5      Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent determines that for
any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate
Loan, or that the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the
Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the

                                       17

<PAGE>

Funds Administrator and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders
to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the
Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Funds
Administrator may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Continuation/Conversion then submitted by it. If the Funds Administrator does
not revoke such Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans,
as proposed by the Funds Administrator, in the amount specified in the
applicable notice submitted by the Funds Administrator, but such Loans shall be
made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Rate Loans.

         4.6      Certificates of Agent; Replacement of Requesting Lenders(a) .
If any Lender claims reimbursement or compensation under this Article 4, Agent
shall reasonably determine the amount thereof and shall deliver to the Funds
Administrator (with a copy to the affected Lender) a certificate setting forth
in reasonable detail the amount payable to the affected Lender and the basis for

         Each of the Borrowers covenants to the Agent and each Lender that so
long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding or this Agreement is in
effect:

         7.1      Taxes and Other Obligations. The Borrowers shall, and shall
cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, (a) file when due all tax
returns and other reports which it is required to file; (b) pay, or provide for
the payment, when due, of all taxes, fees, assessments and other governmental

(c) pay when due all Debt owed by it and all claims of materialmen, mechanics,
carriers, warehousemen, landlords, processors and other like Persons, and all
other indebtedness owed by it and perform and discharge in a timely manner all
other obligations undertaken by it; provided, however, no Borrower nor any of
its Subsidiaries need pay any tax, fee, assessment, or governmental charge or
Debt described in clause (c) above (i) it is contesting in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently pursued, (ii) as to which such Borrower or
its Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established proper reserves as required
under GAAP, and (iii) the nonpayment of which does not result in the imposition
of a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien).

         7.2      Legal Existence and Good Standing. Each Borrower shall, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain its legal existence and its
qualification and good standing in all jurisdictions in which the failure to
maintain such existence and qualification or good standing could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         7.3      Compliance with Law and Agreements; Maintenance of Licenses.
Each Borrower shall comply, and shall cause each Subsidiary to comply, in all
material respects with all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over it or its business (including the Federal Fair Labor
Standards Act and all Environmental Laws). Each Borrower shall, and shall cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, obtain and maintain all licenses, permits,
franchises, and governmental authorizations necessary to own its property and to
conduct its business as conducted on the Closing Date. No Borrower shall modify,
amend or alter its certificate or articles of incorporation, or its limited

                  (a)      Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, maintain all of its property necessary and useful in the
conduct of its business, in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear
and tear excepted.

                  (b)      Each Borrower shall permit representatives and
independent contractors of the Agent (at the expense of the Borrowers) to visit
and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and
operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom and to discuss
its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers and independent
public accountants, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as
soon as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Funds
Administrator; provided, however, when an Event of Default exists, the Agent or
any Lender may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrowers at any
time during normal business hours and without advance notice.

         7.5      Insurance.

                  (a)      Each Borrower shall maintain, and shall cause each of
its Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers
having a rating of at least B+ or better by Best Rating Guide, insurance against
loss or damage by fire with extended coverage; theft, burglary, pilferage and
loss in transit; public liability and third party property damage; larceny,
embezzlement or other criminal liability; business interruption; public
liability and third party property damage; and such other hazards or of such
other types as is customary for Persons engaged in the same or similar business,
as the Agent, in its reasonable discretion, or acting at the reasonable
direction of the Required Lenders, shall specify, in amounts, and under policies
acceptable to the Agent and the Required Lenders (provided that such insurance
so specified by the Agent shall be obtainable from such an insurer). Without
limiting the foregoing, in the event that any improved Real Estate covered by
the Mortgages is determined to be located within an area that has been
identified by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a
Special Flood Hazard Area ("SFHA"), the Borrowers shall purchase and maintain
flood insurance on the improved Real Estate and any Equipment and Inventory
located on such Real Estate. The amount of said flood insurance will be
reasonably determined by the Agent, and shall, at a minimum, comply with
applicable federal regulations as required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, as amended. The Borrowers shall also maintain flood insurance for its
Inventory and Equipment which is, at any time, located in a SFHA. The Agent and
each of the Lenders confirm to the Borrowers that the level of insurance in
effect with respect to the Borrowers and their respective Domestic Subsidiaries
and disclosed to the Agent as of the Closing Date constitute an acceptable level
of coverage as of such date.

                  (b)      The Borrowers shall cause the Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, to be named as secured party or mortgagee
and sole loss payee (with respect to the Collateral) or additional insured, in a
manner acceptable to the Agent. Each policy of insurance shall contain a clause
or endorsement requiring the insurer to give not less than

                                       31

<PAGE>

thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Agent in the event of cancellation
of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause or endorsement stating that
the interest of the Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or
neglect of the Parent, any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or
the owner of any Real Estate for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by
such policy. All premiums for such insurance shall be paid by the Borrowers when
due, and certificates of insurance and, if requested by the Agent or any Lender,
photocopies of the policies, shall be delivered to the Agent, in each case in
sufficient quantity for distribution by the Agent to each of the Lenders. If the
Borrowers fail to procure such insurance or to pay the premiums therefor when
due, the Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, do so
from the proceeds of Revolving Loans.

         7.6      Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. The Borrowers (through
the Funds Administrator) shall promptly notify the Agent and the Lenders of any
loss, damage, or destruction to the Collateral in excess of $1,000,000, whether

insurance and condemnation proceeds in respect of Collateral directly and to
apply or remit them as follows:

                           (i)      With respect to insurance and condemnation
         proceeds relating to Collateral other than Collateral consisting of
         Fixed Assets, after deducting from such proceeds the reasonable
         expenses, if any, incurred by the Agent in the collection or handling
         thereof, the Agent shall apply such proceeds, ratably, to the reduction
         of the Obligations in the order provided for in Section 3.8.

                           (ii)     With respect to insurance and condemnation
         proceeds relating to Collateral consisting of Fixed Assets, the Agent
         shall permit or require the Borrowers to use such proceeds, or any part
         thereof, to replace, repair, restore or rebuild the relevant Fixed
         Assets in a diligent and expeditious manner with materials and
         workmanship of substantially the same quality as existed before the
         loss, damage or destruction so long as (1) no Default or Event of
         Default has occurred and is continuing, and (2) Aggregate Availability
         shall be greater than $15,000,000 at the time of Borrowers' receipt
         thereof. If at the time of the receipt of any such insurance and
         condemnation proceeds either (1) a Default or Event of Default has
         occurred and is continuing or (2) Aggregate Availability shall not be
         greater than $15,000,000, then such funds shall be paid to the Agent
         and the Agent shall apply such insurance and condemnation proceeds,
         ratably, to the reduction of the Obligations in the order provided for
         in Section 3.8.

                  (a)      Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, conduct its business in material compliance with all

handling, use, storage, and disposal of any Contaminant. Each Borrower shall,
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take prompt and appropriate action
to respond to any non-compliance with Environmental Laws and shall, at the
request of the Agent, regularly report to the Agent on such response.

each Borrower, at the Agent's request, (through the Funds Administrator) shall
submit to the Agent and the Lenders annually, an update of the status of each
material environmental compliance or liability issue.

                  (c)      The Agent and its representatives will have the right
at any reasonable time to enter and visit the Real Estate and any other place

Agent Advance made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1.2(h) and (i).

         or unenforceable or challenged by the Parent, any Borrower or any of

         unrelated series of transactions, incidents or conditions, of
         $2,000,000 or more, and the same shall remain unsatisfied, unvacated
         and unstayed pending appeal for a period of thirty (30) days after the
         entry thereof;

                  (l)      any loss, theft, damage or destruction of any item or
         items of Collateral or other property of the Parent, any Borrower or
         any of their respective Subsidiaries occurs which could reasonably be

         twenty (120) days, and (ii) could reasonably be expected to result in
         the confiscation or forfeiture of any material portion of the
         Collateral;

                  (n)      for any reason other than the failure of the Agent to
         take any action available to it to maintain perfection of the Agent's
         Liens, pursuant to the Loan Documents, any Loan Document ceases to be
         in full force and effect or any Lien with respect to any material

<PAGE>

                  (p)      at any time the Agent shall not have a perfected
         first priority security interest (acknowledged by the applicable
         insurance company pursuant to an acknowledgment in form and substance
         satisfactory to the Agent) in at least 50% of the amounts owing to
         Garlock Sealing as such time to reimburse Garlock Sealing for payments
         made by Garlock Sealing with respect to claims against Garlock Sealing

                  (r)      there occurs an event having a Material Adverse
         Effect.

         9.2      Remedies.

                  (a)      If a Default or an Event of Default exists, the Agent
may, in its discretion, and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, do
one or more of the following at any time or times and in any order, without
notice to or demand on any Borrower: (i) reduce the Maximum Revolver Amount, or
the advance rates against Eligible Accounts and/or Eligible Inventory used in
computing the Borrowing Base, or reduce one or more of the other elements used
in computing the Borrowing Base; (ii) restrict the amount of or refuse to make
Revolving Loans; and (iii) restrict or refuse to provide Letters of Credit or
Credit Support. If an Event of Default exists, the Agent shall, at the direction
of the Required Lenders, do one or more of the following, in addition to the
actions described in the preceding sentence, at any time or times and in any
order, without notice to or demand on any Borrower: (A) terminate the
Commitments and this Agreement; (B) declare any or all Obligations to be
immediately due and payable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default described in Sections 9.1(e), 9.1(f), 9.1(g), or 9.1(h), the
Commitments shall automatically and immediately expire and all Obligations shall
automatically become immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any
kind; (C) require any Borrower to cash collateralize all outstanding Letter of
Credit Obligations; and (D) pursue its other rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents and applicable law.

                  (b)      If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing: (i) the Agent shall have for the benefit of the Lenders, in addition
to all other rights of the Agent and the Lenders, the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Loan Documents and the UCC; (ii) the Agent may, at any
time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it on the Borrowers' premises,
at no cost to the Agent or any Lender, or remove any part of it to such other
place or places as the Agent may desire, or the Borrowers shall, upon the
Agent's demand, at the Borrowers' cost, assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Agent at a place reasonably convenient to the Agent; and (iii)
the Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for
cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Agent
deems advisable, in its sole discretion, and may, if the Agent deems it
reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at
the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving
a new notice of sale. Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the
following manner, the Borrowers agree that any notice by the Agent of sale,
disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith,
whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to
the Borrowers if such notice is

                                       44

<PAGE>

mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least five (5) Business
Days prior to such action to the Borrowers' respective addresses specified in or
pursuant to Section 13.8. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment
in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations
until the Agent or the Lenders receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in
payment, the Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice to any
Borrower. In the event the Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion
of the Collateral by judicial process, each of the Borrowers irrevocably waives:
(A) the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might
otherwise be required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement
of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (C) any requirement that
the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial
or final judgment. Each of the Borrowers agrees that the Agent has no obligation
to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit
of any Person. The Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use,
without charge after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Borrowers' labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade
names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property, in
completing production of, advertising or selling any Collateral, and the
Borrowers' rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to
the Agent's benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of sale shall be applied
first to all expenses of sale, including attorneys' fees, and then to the
Obligations. The Agent will return any excess to the Borrowers and the Borrowers
shall remain liable for any deficiency.

                  (c)      If an Event of Default occurs, each of the Borrowers
hereby waives all rights to notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the
Agent of the Agent's rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process
or to reply, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.

                              TERM AND TERMINATION

         10.1     Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall end on
the Stated Termination Date unless sooner terminated in accordance with the
terms hereof. The Agent upon direction from the Required Lenders may terminate
this Agreement without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon
the effective date of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever,
all Obligations (including all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and
any early termination or prepayment fees or penalties) shall become immediately
due and payable and the Borrowers shall immediately arrange for the cancellation
and return of Letters of Credit then outstanding. Notwithstanding the
termination of this Agreement, until all Obligations are indefeasibly paid and
performed in full in cash, the Borrowers shall remain bound by the terms of this
Agreement and shall not be relieved of any of its Obligations hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, and the Agent and the Lenders shall retain all their
rights and remedies hereunder (including the Agent's Liens in and all rights and
remedies with respect to all then existing and after-arising Collateral).

Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any
departure by the Parent, any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by

Lenders) and the Borrowers (or other applicable Person) and then any such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders and the Borrowers
and acknowledged by the Agent, do any of the following:

                           (i)      increase or extend the Commitment of any

         hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

                           (iii)    reduce the principal of, or the rate of

         Excess Collateral Providers Borrowing Base;

                           (vi)     amend this Section or any provision of this
         Agreement providing for consent or other action by all Lenders;

                           (vii)    release any Guaranties of the Obligations

         transaction consented to by the Required Lenders) or release Collateral
         other than as permitted by Section 12.11;

                           (viii)   change the definitions of "Majority Lenders"
         or "Required Lenders";

         Letter of Credit Subfacility; or

<PAGE>

                           (x)      amend Section 3.8;

provided, however, the Agent may, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding the
limitations contained in clauses (v) and (ix) above and any other terms of this
Agreement, make Agent Advances in accordance with Section 1.2(i) and, provided
further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by the Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and provided further, that Schedule 1.2
hereto (Commitments) may be amended from time to time by Agent alone to reflect
assignments of Commitments in accordance herewith.

                  (b)      If any fees are paid to the Lenders as consideration
for amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this Agreement, at Agent's
election, such fees may be paid only to those Lenders that agree to such
amendments, waivers or consents within the time specified for submission
thereof.

                  (c)      If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver
or consent (a "Proposed Change"):

                           (i)      requiring the consent of all Lenders, the
         consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other
         Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained
         as described in this clause (i) and in clause (ii) below being referred
         to as a "Non-Consenting Lender"), or

                           (ii)     requiring the consent of Required Lenders,
         the consent of Majority Lenders is obtained,

then, so long as the Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Funds
Administrator's request, the Agent or an Eligible Assignee shall have the right
(but not the obligation) with the Agent's approval, to purchase from the
Non-Consenting Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall
sell, all the Non-Consenting Lenders' Commitments for an amount equal to the
principal balances thereof and all accrued interest and fees with respect
thereto through the date of sale pursuant to Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement(s), without premium or discount.

         11.2     Assignments; Participations.

                  (a)      Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the written consent of the
Funds Administrator (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), assign
and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no consent of the
Agent or the Funds Administrator shall be required in connection with any
assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender) (each an
"Assignee") all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and
the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount
of $5,000,000 (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has assigned and
delegated all of its Loans and Commitments, no such assignment and/or delegation
shall be permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender
retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of $10,000,000; provided, however, that
the Borrowers and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i)
written notice of such

                                       47
<PAGE>

assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related
information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Funds
Administrator and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender
and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Funds Administrator and the Agent
an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit E ("Assignment and
Acceptance") together with any note or notes subject to such assignment and
(iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in
the amount of $3,500 (other than with respect to assignments to such assignor's
Affiliates). The Borrowers agree to promptly execute and deliver new promissory
notes and replacement promissory notes as reasonably requested by the Agent to
evidence assignments of the Loans and Commitments in accordance herewith.

                  (b)      From and after the date that the Agent notifies the
assignor Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and
payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations,
including, but not limited to, the obligation to participate in Letters of
Credit and Credit Support have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment
and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan
Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by
it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto).

                  (c)      By executing and delivering an Assignment and
Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm
to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other
than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished
pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted
by the Borrowers to the Agent or any Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such
assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrowers or the
performance or observance by the Borrowers of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such
Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;
(iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such
assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such
Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the
Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the
discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto;
and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required
to be performed by it as a Lender.

<PAGE>

                  (d)      Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of
Section 11.2(a), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but
only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the
resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment
allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender
pro tanto.

                  (e)      Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more
commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of any
Borrower (a "Participant") participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment
of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the "originating Lender")
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the
originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance
of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the
originating Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating
interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or
any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document
except the matters set forth in Section 11.1(a) (i), (ii) and (iii), and all
amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the
right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the
amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under
this Agreement.

                  (f)      Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge,
all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor
of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S.
Treasury Regulation 31 CFR ss.203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce
such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

                                    THE AGENT

         12.1     Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates
and appoints Bank as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document
and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated
to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as
such on the express conditions contained in this Article 12. The provisions of
this Article 12 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and the
Borrowers shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the
provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent
shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth
herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary

                                       49
<PAGE>

relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term
"agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of
market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly
otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have and may use its sole
discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any
discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the
Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of
ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the Borrowing Base,
the Garlock Sealing Borrowing Base or the Excess Collateral Providers Borrowing
Base, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section 1.2(i), and (c) the
exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 9.2, and any action so taken or not
taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.

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

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

         12.4     Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone
message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel
to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems
appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the

                                       50
<PAGE>

Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of
the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by Section 11.1) and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all of the Lenders.

         12.5     Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless
the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Funds
Administrator referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." The Agent will
notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by
the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that
unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

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

         12.7     Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the
Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the
Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 13.11; provided, however, that no
Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any
portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's
gross negligence or willful

                                       51
<PAGE>

misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the
Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein,
to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf
of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of
all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

         12.8     Agent in Individual Capacity. The Bank and its Affiliates may
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Parent, any Borrower
and any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates as though the Bank were
not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The
Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Parent, any
Borrower and any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates and Account
Debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of the Parent, any Borrower and any of their respective
Subsidiaries or Affiliates) and acknowledge that the Agent and the Bank shall be
under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its
Loans, the Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and
the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include the Bank in its individual capacity.

         12.9     Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon at least
30 days' prior notice to the Lenders and the Funds Administrator, such
resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its
appointment as Agent. In the event the Bank sells all of its Commitment and
Revolving Loans as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Bank of
substantially all of its loan portfolio, the Bank shall resign as Agent and such
purchaser or transferee shall become the successor Agent hereunder. Subject to
the foregoing, if the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders
shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no
successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of
the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the
Funds Administrator, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent
shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the
term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent's
appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring
Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 shall
continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

         12.10    Withholding Tax.

                  (a)      If any Lender is a "foreign corporation, partnership
or trust" within the meaning of the Code and such Lender claims exemption from,
or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code,
such Lender agrees with and in favor of the Agent, to deliver to the Agent:

                                       52
<PAGE>

                           (i)      if such Lender claims an exemption from, or
         a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States of America tax
         treaty, properly completed IRS Forms W-8BEN and W-8ECI before the
         payment of any interest in the first calendar year and before the
         payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year during
         which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

                           (ii)     if such Lender claims that interest paid
         under this Agreement is exempt from United States of America
         withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United
         States of America trade or business of such Lender, two properly
         completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the payment of
         any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and in
         each succeeding taxable year of such Lender during which interest may
         be paid under this Agreement, and IRS Form W-9; and

                           (iii)    such other form or forms as may be required
         under the Code or other laws of the United States of America as a
         condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States of America
         withholding tax.

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

                  (b)      If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of,
withholding tax under a United States of America tax treaty by providing IRS
Form FW-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or
otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations owing to such Lender, such
Lender agrees to notify the Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no
longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lender. To
the extent of such percentage amount, the Agent will treat such Lender's IRS
Form W-8BEN as no longer valid.

                  (c)      If any Lender claiming exemption from United States
of America withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8ECI with the Agent sells,
assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the
Obligations owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole
responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by
Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

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

                  (e)      If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the
United States of America or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent
did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any
Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly
executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in
circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax

                                       53
<PAGE>

ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify the Agent
fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or
otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by
any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section,
together with all costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation
of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all
Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

         12.11    Collateral Matters.

                  (a)      The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent,
at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Agent's Liens upon any
Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and
satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all Loans and reimbursement obligations in
respect of Letters of Credit and Credit Support, and the termination of all
outstanding Letters of Credit (whether or not any of such obligations are due)
and all other Obligations; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of
if the Funds Administrator certifies to the Agent that the sale or disposition
is made in compliance with Section 7.9 (and the Agent may rely conclusively on
any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in
which the Borrowers owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any
time thereafter; or (iv) constituting property leased to the Borrowers under a
lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this
Agreement. Except as provided above, the Agent will not release any of the
Agent's Liens without the prior written authorization of the Lenders; provided
that, in addition to releases of Collateral sold pursuant to Section 7.9 or
other dispositions expressly approved by the Required Lenders, the Agent may, in
its discretion, release the Agent's Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate
not in excess of $1,000,000 during each Fiscal Year without the prior written
authorization of the Lenders and the Agent may release the Agent's Liens on
Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $2,000,000 during each
Fiscal Year with the prior written authorization of Required Lenders. Upon
request by the Agent or the Funds Administrator at any time, the Lenders will
confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release any Agent's Liens upon
particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.11.

                  (b)      Upon receipt by the Agent of any authorization
required pursuant to Section 12.11(a) from the Lenders of the Agent's authority
to release Agent's Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, and upon
at least five (5) Business Days prior written request by the Funds
Administrator, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the
Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release
of the Agent's Liens upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Agent
shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the
Agent's opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or
entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or
warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or
impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released)
upon (or obligations of the Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by
the Borrowers, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue
to constitute part of the Collateral.

                  (c)      The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any
of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrowers
or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the
Agent's Liens have been properly or

                                       54
<PAGE>

sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular
manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue
exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to
the Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed
that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related
thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole
discretion given the Agent's own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as
one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no other duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

         12.12    Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

                  (a)      Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without
the express consent of all Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is
lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of all Lenders, set off against the
Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to the Borrowers or any accounts
of the Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the
Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so
by the Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under
this Agreement or against any Borrower, including the commencement of any legal
or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any
security interest in, any of the Collateral.

                  (b)      If at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i)
by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any
payments with respect to the Obligations of any Borrower to such Lender arising
under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for
any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such
Lender's ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender
shall promptly (1) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such
endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same
day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for
application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of
this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that
such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of
such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered
from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in
part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid
therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except
to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in
connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

         12.13    Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other
Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders' security interest in
assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by
possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any
such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon
the Agent's request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in
accordance with the Agent's instructions.

         12.14    Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the
Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of
immediately available

                                       55
<PAGE>

funds to each Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing
to the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee,
on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire
transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice
to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify
whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium or
interest on the Revolving Loans, Term Loans or otherwise. Unless the Agent
receives notice from the Funds Administrator prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrowers will not make such payment in
full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made
such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds
and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrowers have not made
such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on
demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at
the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to
such Lender until the date repaid.

         12.15    Settlement.

                  (a)      (i)  Each Lender's funded portion of the Revolving
Loans is intended by the Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement,
the Agent, the Bank, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be
for the benefit of or enforceable by the Borrowers) that in order to facilitate
the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement
among them as to the Revolving Loans, the Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent
Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following
provisions:

                           (ii)     The Agent shall request settlement
("Settlement") with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on a more
frequent basis at Agent's election, (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to
each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent
Advance, and (C) with respect to collections received, in each case, by
notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone or
other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than
12:00 noon (Eastern time) on the date of such requested Settlement (the
"Settlement Date"). Each Lender (other than the Bank, in the case of Non-Ratable
Loans and the Agent in the case of Agent Advances) shall transfer the amount of
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the
Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances with respect to each Settlement to the
Agent, to Agent's account, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time), on the
Settlement Date applicable thereto. Settlements may occur during the
continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have then been satisfied.
Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of
the applicable Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion
of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance representing the Bank's Pro Rata Share
thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is
not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable
thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first
three (3) days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest
Rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans (A) on behalf of the Bank, with
respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, and (B) for itself, with respect
to each Agent Advance.

                                       56
<PAGE>

                           (iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than
one (1) Business Day after demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after
the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether the
Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to a Non-Ratable Loan or Agent
Advance), each other Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase
and receive from the Bank or the Agent, as applicable, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Non-Ratable Loan or
Agent Advance equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loan or
Agent Advance and (B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to
such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by Bank or Agent, as
applicable, shall pay to Bank or Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of
such participation an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances. If such
amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by any Lender, the Agent shall
be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and
after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base
Rate Loans.

                           (iv)     From and after the date, if any, on which
any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Non-Ratable
Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Agent shall promptly
distribute to such Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of all payments of
principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in
respect of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance.

                           (v)      Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the
extent no Agent Advances are outstanding, may pay over to the Bank any payments
received by the Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to the
Bank's Revolving Loans including Non-Ratable Loans. If, as of any Settlement
Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date
have been applied to the Bank's Revolving Loans (other than to Non-Ratable Loans
or Agent Advances in which such Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a
participation pursuant to clause (iii) above), as provided for in the previous
sentence, the Bank shall pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be
applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that
each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement
Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between
Settlement Dates, the Bank with respect to Non-Ratable Loans, the Agent with
respect to Agent Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans
other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest
at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual
average daily amount of funds employed by the Bank, the Agent and the other
Lenders.

                           (vi)     Unless the Agent has received written notice
from a Lender to the contrary, the Agent may assume that the applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied and the
requested Borrowing will not exceed either the Availability of such Borrower or
Aggregate Availability on any Funding Date for a Revolving Loan or Non-Ratable
Loan.

                                       57
<PAGE>

                  (b)      Lenders' Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans
(other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders
simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood
that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to
perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any
Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by
any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans
hereunder, (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any
Revolving Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to
make any Revolving Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender
hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.

                  (c)      Defaulting Lenders. Unless the Agent receives notice
from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing
after the Closing Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such
Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required
hereunder to the Agent that Lender's Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, the Agent
may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in
immediately available funds on the Funding Date. Furthermore, the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a
corresponding amount. If any Lender has not transferred its full Pro Rata Share
to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent has transferred
corresponding amount to the Borrowers on the Business Day following such Funding
Date that Lender shall make such amount available to the Agent, together with
interest at the Federal Funds Rate for that day. A notice by the Agent submitted
to any Lender with respect to amounts owing shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error. If each Lender's full Pro Rata Share is transferred to the Agent as
required, the amount transferred to the Agent shall constitute that Lender's
Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If that amount is not
transferred to the Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the
Agent will notify the Funds Administrator of such failure to fund and, upon
demand by the Agent, the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Agent for the
Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the
date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate
applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising that particular
Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Funding
Date (any such Lender, prior to the cure of such failure, being hereinafter
referred to as a "Defaulting Lender") shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on that Funding Date. No Lender
shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to advance such other
Lenders' Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing.

                  (d)      Retention of Defaulting Lender's Payments. The Agent
shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by
any Borrower to the Agent for the Defaulting Lender's benefit; nor shall a
Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts
payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by the
Agent. In its discretion, the Agent may loan Borrowers the amount of all such
payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.
Any amounts so loaned to the Borrowers shall bear interest at the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall
be treated as if they were Revolving Loans, provided, however, that for purposes
of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and
determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a
"Lender". Until a Defaulting Lender cures its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share
of any Borrowing (A) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any portion
of the Unused Line

                                       58
<PAGE>

Fee and (B) the Unused Line Fee shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have
funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested Borrowing and shall be
allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative
Commitments. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender
until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of
its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this Section shall not be
construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or
relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrowers of their respective duties
and obligations hereunder.

                  (e)      Removal of Defaulting Lender. At the Funds
Administrator's request, the Agent or an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable
to the Agent and the Funds Administrator shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to purchase from any Defaulting Lender, and each Defaulting Lender
shall, upon such request, sell and assign to the Agent or such Eligible
Assignee, all of the Defaulting Lender's outstanding Commitments hereunder. Such
sale shall be consummated promptly after Agent has arranged for a purchase by
Agent or an Eligible Assignee pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, and at a
price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Defaulting Lender's
Loans, plus accrued interest and fees, without premium or discount.

         12.16    Letters of Credit; Intra-Lender Issues.

                  (a)      Notice of Letter of Credit Balance. On each
Settlement Date the Agent shall notify each Lender of the issuance of all
Letters of Credit since the prior Settlement Date.

                  (b)      Participations in Letters of Credit.

                           (i)      Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon
issuance of any Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 1.4(d), each Lender
shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit or the
Credit Support provided through the Agent to the Letter of Credit Issuer, if not
the Bank, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit (including
all obligations of the Borrowers with respect thereto, and any security therefor
or guaranty pertaining thereto).

                           (ii)     Sharing of Reimbursement Obligation
Payments. Whenever the Agent receives a payment from the Borrowers on account of
reimbursement obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit or Credit Support as
to which the Agent has previously received for the account of the Letter of
Credit Issuer thereof payment from a Lender, the Agent shall promptly pay to
such Lender such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such payment from the Borrowers.
Each such payment shall be made by the Agent on the next Settlement Date.

                           (iii)    Documentation. Upon the request of any
Lender, the Agent shall furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit,
Credit Support for any Letter of Credit, reimbursement agreements executed in
connection therewith, applications for any Letter of Credit, and such other
documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender.

                                       59
<PAGE>

                           (iv)     Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of
each Lender to make payments to the Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit
or with respect to their participation therein or with respect to any Credit
Support for any Letter of Credit or with respect to the Revolving Loans made as
a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit and the obligations of the
Borrowers for whose account the Letter of Credit or Credit Support was issued to
make payments to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, shall be irrevocable
and shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including
any of the following circumstances:

                           (1)      any lack of validity or enforceability of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

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

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

                           (4)      the surrender or impairment of any security
for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan
Documents;

                           (5)      the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default; or

                           (6)      the failure of any Borrower to satisfy the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8.

                  (c)      Recovery or Avoidance of Payments; Refund of Payments
In Error. In the event any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower received by
the Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or Credit Support provided for
any Letter of Credit and distributed by the Agent to the Lenders on account of
their respective participations therein is thereafter set aside, avoided or
recovered from the Agent in connection with any receivership, liquidation or
bankruptcy proceeding, the Lenders shall, upon demand by the Agent, pay to the
Agent their respective Pro Rata Shares of such amount set aside, avoided or
recovered, together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Agent
upon the amount required to be repaid by it. Unless the Agent receives notice
from the Funds Administrator prior to the date on which any payment is due to
the Lenders that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when
required, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full
to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but
shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each
Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If
and to the extent the Borrowers have not made such payment in full to the Agent,
each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount

                                       60
<PAGE>

distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until
the date repaid.

                  (d)      Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of the
Borrowers hereunder, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer
ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees) or disbursements of any kind and
nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Letter of Credit Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of any Letter of
Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted
by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document
in connection therewith; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand
for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrowers to the
Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent that the Letter of Credit Issuer is not
promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. The agreement
contained in this Section shall survive payment in full of all other
Obligations.

         12.17    Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each
Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents,
for the ratable benefit and obligation of the Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender
agrees that any action taken by the Agent, Majority Lenders or Required Lenders,
as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, and the exercise by the Agent, the Majority Lenders, or the Required
Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein,
together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that the Revolving
Loans, Agent Advances, Non-Ratable Loans, Hedge Agreements, Bank Products and
all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Debt, secured pari
passu by all of the Collateral.

         12.18    Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By
signing this Agreement, each Lender:

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

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

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

                                       61
<PAGE>

                  (d)      agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly
         for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants,
         or use any Report in any other manner; and

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

         12.19    Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or
co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or
(except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agent) authorized to act
for, any other Lender.

         12.20    Syndication Agent. No Lender identified on the facing page or
signature pages of this Agreement as a "Syndication Agent" shall have any right,
power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other
than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing,
none of the Lenders so identified as a "Syndication Agent" shall have or be
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so
identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking
action hereunder.

any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any
present or future supplement thereto, or in any other agreement between or among
any Borrower and the Agent and/or any Lender, or delay by the Agent or any
Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by
the Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only
to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Agent or the Lenders on any
occasion shall affect or diminish the Agent's and each Lender's rights
thereafter to require strict performance by the Borrowers of any provision of
this Agreement. The Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to collect the
Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. The Agent's and each
Lender's rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any
other right or remedy which the Agent or any Lender may have.

judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney

by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the

disposal or presence of a hazardous substance relating to any Borrower's
operations, business or property. This indemnity will apply whether the
hazardous

                                       66
<PAGE>

substance is on, under or about any Borrower's property or operations or
property leased to any Borrower. The indemnity includes but is not limited to
Attorneys Costs. The indemnity extends to the Agent and the Lenders, their
parents, affiliates, subsidiaries and all of their directors, officers,
employees, agents, successors, attorneys and assigns. "Hazardous substances"
means any substance, material or waste that is or becomes designated or
regulated as "toxic," "hazardous," "pollutant," or "contaminant" or a similar
designation or regulation under any federal, state or local law (whether under
common law, statute, regulation or otherwise) or judicial or administrative
interpretation of such, including petroleum or natural gas. This indemnity will
survive repayment of all other Obligations.

         13.12    Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN,
NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY ANY BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR OTHER PERSON AGAINST THE
AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY BORROWER, OR THE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES, COUNSEL, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT OF ANY OF THEM
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY
CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND
EACH BORROWER, THE AGENT, AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT
TO SUE UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR
NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.

         13.13    Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
are intended by the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders to be the final,
complete, and exclusive expression of the agreement between them. This
Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents supersede any and all
prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter hereof. No
modification, rescission, waiver, release, or amendment of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made, except by a written
agreement signed by the Borrowers and a duly authorized officer of each of the
Agent and the requisite Lenders.

         13.14    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and by the Agent, each Lender and the Borrowers in separate
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement; signature pages may be detached
from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that
all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

         13.15    Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be
construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision.

         13.16    Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been
accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being waived by the
Borrowers 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 by,

                                       67
<PAGE>

and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or any Affiliate of
such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and
all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of
whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this
Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent
or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Funds Administrator and
the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL
EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER'S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT
ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF ANY BORROWER OR SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR HELD OR MAINTAINED
BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE LENDERS.

         13.17    Confidentiality.

                  (a)      Each of the Borrowers hereby consents that the Agent
and each Lender may issue and disseminate to the public general information
describing the credit accommodation entered into pursuant to this Agreement,
including the names and addresses of the Borrowers and a general description of
the Borrowers' businesses and may use the Borrowers' names in advertising and
other promotional material.

                  (b)      Each Lender severally agrees to take normal and
reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of
all information identified as "confidential" or "secret" by the Borrowers and
provided to the Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers, under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent that such
information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of disclosure by the Agent or such Lender, or (ii) was or becomes
available on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers,
provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
Borrowers known to the Agent or such Lender; provided, however, that the Agent
and any Lender may disclose such information (1) at the request or pursuant to
any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Agent or such Lender
is subject or in connection with an examination of the Agent or such Lender by
any such Governmental Authority; (2) pursuant to subpoena or other court
process; (3) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any
applicable Requirement of Law; (4) to the extent reasonably required in
connection with any litigation or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any
bankruptcy proceeding) to which the Agent, any Lender or their respective
Affiliates may be party; (5) to the extent reasonably required in connection
with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (6)
to the Agent's or such Lender's independent auditors, accountants, attorneys and
other professional advisors; (7) to any prospective Participant or Assignee
under any Assignment and Acceptance, actual or potential, provided that such
prospective Participant or Assignee agrees to keep such information confidential
to the same extent required of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder; (8) as
expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding
confidentiality to which the applicable Borrower is party or is deemed party
with the Agent or such Lender, and (9) to its Affiliates.

         13.18    Conflicts with Other Loan Documents. Unless otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement (or in another Loan Document by specific
reference to the applicable

                                       68
<PAGE>

provision contained in this Agreement), if any provision contained in this
Agreement conflicts with any provision of any other Loan Document, the provision
contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

         13.19    Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

                  (a)      Each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally
liable hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents with respect to all
Obligations, regardless of which of the Borrowers actually receives the proceeds
of the Loans or the benefit of any other extensions of credit hereunder, or the
manner in which the Funds Administrator, the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders
or any of the Letter of Credit Issuers account therefore in their respective
books and records. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i)
each Borrower's obligations and liabilities with respect to proceeds of Loans
which it receives or Letters of Credit issued for its account, and related fees,
costs and expenses, and (ii) each Borrower's obligations and liabilities arising
as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with
respect to proceeds of Loans received by, or Letters of Credit issued for the
account of, any of the other Borrowers, together with the related fees, costs
and expenses, shall be separate and distinct obligations, both of which are
primary obligations of such Borrower. Neither the joint and several liability
of, nor the Liens granted to the Agent under the Collateral Documents by, any of
the Borrowers shall be impaired or released by (A) the failure of the Agent, any
Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer, any successors or assigns thereof, or any
holder of any of the Obligations to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or
enforce any right, power or remedy against the Funds Administrator, any
Borrower, any Subsidiary of any Borrower, any other Person, the Collateral or
otherwise; (B) any extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer
than the original period) or exchange of any of the Obligations or the release
or compromise of any obligation of any nature of any Person with respect
thereto; (C) the surrender, release or exchange of all or any part of any
property (including without limitation the Collateral) securing payment,
performance and/or observance of any of the Obligations or the compromise or
extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the original
period) of any obligations of any nature of any Person with respect to any such
property; (D) any action or inaction on the part of the Agent, any Lender or any
Letter of Credit Issuer, or any other event or condition with respect to any
other Borrower, including any such action or inaction or other event or
condition, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, such Borrower, or a guarantor or surety of or for any or all of
the Obligations; and (E) any other act, matter or thing (other than payment or
performance of the Obligations) which would or might, in the absence of this
provision, operate to release, discharge or otherwise prejudicially affect the
obligations of such Borrower or any other Borrower.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, to the extent the joint
obligations of a Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable
for any reason (including, without limitation, because of Section 548 of Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common
law) then the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the
maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or
state and including, without limitation, the federal Bankruptcy Code).

                                       69
<PAGE>

                  (c)      To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment
under this Section 13.19 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made
to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a "Guarantor Payment") that,
taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently
made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would
otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations
satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower's
"Allocable Amount" (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such
Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the
Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor
Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations
and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive
contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other
Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective
Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. As of
any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of any Borrower shall be equal
to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such
Borrower under this Section 13.19 without rendering such claim voidable or
avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any
applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act or similar statute or common law. This Section 13.19(c) is intended only to
define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section
13.19(c) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly
and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, including Section
13.19(a). Nothing contained in this Section 13.19(c) shall limit the liability
of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower
and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such
Borrower shall be primarily liable. The parties hereto acknowledge that the
rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of
each applicable Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is
owing. The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Persons under this
Section 13.19(c) shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of
the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

                  (d)      The liability of Borrowers under this Section 13.19
is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower
to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
such Borrower is a party, without any limitation as to amount.

         13.20    Appointment and Authorization of Funds Administrator.

                  (a)      Each Borrower hereby designates, appoints, authorizes
and empowers Coltec as its agent to act as specified in the capacity of Funds
Administrator under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and
Coltec hereby acknowledges such designation, authorization and empowerment, and
accepts such appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs the Funds Administrator to take such action on its behalf under the
respective provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any
other instruments, documents and agreements referred to herein or therein, and
to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as
are specifically delegated to or required of the Funds Administrator by the
respective terms and provisions hereof and thereof,

                                       70
<PAGE>

and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, without
limitation, to take the following actions for and on such Borrower's behalf:

                           (i)      to submit on behalf of each Borrower Notices
                  of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion and Notices of
                  Continuation to Agent in accordance with the provisions of
                  this Agreement, each such notice to be submitted by the Funds
                  Administrator to Agent as soon as practicable after its
                  receipt of a request to do so from a Borrower; and

                           (ii)     to submit on behalf of each Borrower
                  requests for the issuance of Letters of Credit in accordance
                  with the provisions of this Agreement, each such request for
                  the issuance of a Letter of Credit to be submitted by the
                  Funds Administrator as soon as practicable after its receipt
                  of a request to do so from any Borrower.

                  (b)      The Funds Administrator is further authorized and
directed by each of the Borrowers to take all such actions on behalf of such
Borrower necessary to exercise the specific powers granted in clauses (i) and
(ii) above and to perform such other duties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, and deliver such documents as delegated to or required of the Funds
Administrator by the terms hereof or thereof. Agent and each Lender may regard
any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Documents from the Funds
Administrator as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any
notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or
Borrowers hereunder to the Funds Administrator on behalf of such Borrower or
Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and
warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Funds
Administrator shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such
Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the
same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

                  (c)      The Funds Administrator may perform any of its duties
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents by or through its agents or
employees.

         13.21    Allocation of Loans and Expenses.

                  (a)      In order to efficiently fund and operate their
         respective businesses and minimize the number of Borrowings which they
         will make under this Agreement and thereby reduce the administrative
         costs and record keeping required in connection therewith, including
         the necessity to enter into and maintain separately identified and
         monitored borrowing facilities, the Borrowers have requested, and the
         Agent and the Lenders have agreed that, subject to Section 13.19, (i)
         all Loans will be advanced to and for the account of the Borrowers on a
         joint and several basis to the applicable Designated Account and (ii)
         all Letters of Credit will be issued pursuant to an letter of credit
         application executed by the Funds Administrator on behalf and for the
         account of the Borrower or Borrowers specified by the Funds
         Administrator in such application. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges
         that it will be receiving a direct benefit from each Loan made and each
         Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement.

                                       71
<PAGE>

                  (b)      In order to track more precisely the respective
         recipients of the proceeds of each Loan and the Borrower or Borrowers
         receiving the primary benefit from the issuance of each Letter of
         Credit, and to assist the Funds Administrator, the Borrowers, the Agent
         and the Lenders in administering the Loans and the Letters of Credit,
         each Borrower has agreed with the Agent and the Lenders to cause the
         Funds Administrator to establish and maintain, and the Funds
         Administrator hereby agrees to establish and maintain, accounts and
         other appropriate business records with respect to each Borrower (each
         Borrower's "ALLOCATION ACCOUNT") in which the Funds Administrator shall
         record its good faith allocation to each of the Borrowers of (W) the
         proceeds, if any, of each Loan received by or for the account of such
         Borrower, (X) payments made to the Agent on account of the Obligations
         of such Borrower, whether from collection of proceeds of Collateral or
         otherwise, (Y) the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of
         Credit (or an appropriate allocation thereof, if the Letters of Credit
         are issued for the direct benefit of more than one Borrower) issued for
         the benefit of such Borrower, and (Z) all previously unallocated
         Expenses.

         At the request of the Agent, as soon as available, but not later than
fifteen (15) Business Days after the last Business Day of each month ending
after the Closing Date, the Funds Administrator shall deliver to the Agent and
each Borrower a report prepared by or under the supervision of the chief
financial officer of the Funds Administrator, and certified by such officer,
setting forth with respect to each Borrower the balance of the Allocation
Account of such Borrower as of the end of, and all activity occurring in such
Allocation Account during, such month. Absent manifest error, each such monthly
statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the respective Borrowers.

         13.22    Designated Senior Debt.

         The Obligations incurred pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute
"Designated Senior Debt" as such term is defined in the Indenture governing the
subordinated debentures issued as part of the TIDES, and Coltec shall notify the
Indenture Trustee thereunder of such designation of the Obligations on or prior
to the Closing Date.

         13.23    Agreement Effectiveness.

         This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first above
written when it has been executed and delivered by each of the parties hereto.
The parties hereto agree that (i) as of its execution of this Agreement, the
Borrowers shall be deemed to only make the representations and warranties set
forth in Sections 6.1 (with respect to this Agreement, the Security Agreement
and the Fee Letter) and 6.3(a) and (ii) for the period from the date of such
execution until the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to comply
with the covenants set forth in Article 7.

                                       72
<PAGE>

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Agreement on the
date first above written.

arising, regardless of where located:

                  (xiii)   all of such Grantor's Deposit Accounts, credits, and

                  (b)      All of the Obligations shall be secured by all of the
Collateral.

                                       5

         3. PERFECTION AND PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

                  (a)      Each Grantor shall, at its expense, subject to
clauses (c), (d) and (e) below, perform all steps requested by the Agent at any
time to perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce the Agent's Liens, including:
(i) executing, delivering and/or filing and recording of the Copyright Security
Agreements, the Patent and Trademark Agreements and executing and filing
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereof, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) delivering to the Agent

and for which warehouse receipts are issued to the extent Collateral located in
any such warehouse exceeds $100,000 or if Agent shall request delivery of such
warehouse receipts, (iii) delivering to Agent certificates of title covering any
portion of the Collateral for which certificates of title have been issued to
the extent such Collateral exceeds $100,000 or if Agent shall request delivery
of such certificates of title; (iv) when an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, transferring Inventory to warehouses or other locations designated
by the Agent; (v) placing notations on its books of account to disclose the

Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic, or other
reproduction of this Security Agreement or of a financing statement is
sufficient as a financing statement.

                  (b)      Unless the Agent shall otherwise consent in writing
(which consent may be revoked), the Grantors shall deliver to the Agent all
Collateral consisting of negotiable Documents (subject to Section 3(a) above),
certificated securities (accompanied by stock powers executed in blank), Chattel
Paper and Instruments promptly after the Grantors receive the same.

                  (c)      The Grantors shall, in accordance with the terms of
the Credit Agreement, obtain or use their commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain waivers or subordinations of Liens from landlords and mortgagees for
locations at which Collateral in excess of $1,000,000 is located, and the
Grantors shall in all instances obtain or use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain signed acknowledgements of the Agent's Liens from bailees having
possession of any Collateral in excess of $1,000,000 that they hold for the
benefit of the Agent; provided that no Collateral may be deemed Eligible
Inventory unless all the eligibility requirements set forth in the definition of
Eligible Inventory are satisfied.

                  (d)      If required by the terms of the Credit Agreement and
not waived by the Agent in writing (which waiver may be revoked), the Grantors
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain authenticated control
agreements from each issuer of uncertificated securities, securities
intermediary, or commodities intermediary issuing or holding any financial
assets or commodities to or for the Grantors.

                  (e)      If a Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a
letter of credit such Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent thereof and use
commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a tri-party agreement with the
Agent and the issuer and/or confirmation bank with respect to Letter-of-Credit
Rights assigning such Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Agent and directing all
payments thereunder to the Payment Account, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent.

                                       6

<PAGE>

                  (f)      The Grantors shall take all commercially reasonable
steps necessary to grant the Agent control of all electronic chattel paper in
accordance with the Code and all "transferable records" as defined in the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

                  (g)      Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent
at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform
Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments
thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Grantor or
words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in
the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of the State of
North Carolina or such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser
scope or with greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by
part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of the State of North Carolina for the
sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment,
including (i) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization
and any organization identification number issued to such Grantor, and (ii) in
the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient
description of real property to which the Collateral relates. The Grantors agree
to furnish any such information to the Agent promptly upon request. The Grantors
also ratify their authorization for the Agent to have filed in any Uniform
Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments
thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. In addition, each Grantor hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Agent, at any time, to notify any applicable
insurance company of the security interest granted to the Agent in the Insurance
Receivables Rights pursuant to this Security Agreement.

                  (h)      Each Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent of any
commercial tort claim (as defined in the UCC) in excess of $100,000 individually
or in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate for all commercial tort claims
acquired by it and unless otherwise consented to by the Agent, such Grantor
shall enter into a supplement to this Security Agreement, granting to the Agent
a Lien in such commercial tort claim(s).

                  (i)      From time to time, the Grantors shall, upon the
Agent's request, execute and deliver confirmatory written instruments pledging
to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, the
Collateral, but any Grantor's failure to do so shall not affect or limit any
security interest or any other rights of the Agent or any Lender in and to the
Collateral with respect to such Grantor. So long as the Credit Agreement is in
effect and until all Obligations have been fully satisfied, the Agent's Liens
shall continue in full force and effect in all Collateral (whether or not deemed
eligible for the purpose of calculating the Availability or as the basis for any
advance, loan, extension of credit, or other financial accommodation).

                  (j)      Good Standing Certificates. Not less frequently than
once during each calendar year, each Grantor shall, unless the Agent shall
otherwise consent, provide to the Agent a certificate of good standing from its
state or country of incorporation or organization.

                  (k)      No Reincorporation. Except as permitted by the Credit
Agreement, the Grantors shall not reincorporate or reorganize themselves under
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the respective jurisdiction in which
they are incorporated or organized as of the date hereof or change their
respective type of entity as identified on Schedule II without the prior written
consent of the Agent.

                                       7

<PAGE>

                  (l)      Terminations Amendments Not Authorized. The Grantors
acknowledge that they are not authorized to file any financing statement or
amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement
without the prior written consent of the Agent and agree that they will not do
so without the prior written consent of the Agent, subject to the Grantors'
rights under Section 9-509(d)(2).

                  (m)      No Restriction on Payments to Agent. The Grantors
shall not enter into any Contract that restricts or prohibits the grant of a
security interest in Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments or payment intangibles
or the proceeds of the foregoing to the Agent. To the best of any Grantor's
knowledge, no material General Intangible contains any provision that restricts
or prohibits the grant of the security interest contemplated by this Security
Agreement in such General Intangible except as set forth on Schedule IV hereto.

         4. LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. (a) Each Grantor represents and warrants to
the Agent and the Lenders that: (A) Schedule I is a correct and complete list as
of the Closing Date of the location of such Grantor's chief executive office,
the location of its books and records, the locations of the Collateral, and the
locations of all of its other places of business; and (b) Schedule I correctly
identifies any of such facilities and locations that are not owned by such
Grantor and sets forth the names of the owners and lessors or sublessors of such
facilities and locations. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not (i)
maintain any Collateral at any location other than those locations listed for
such Grantor on Schedule I, (ii) otherwise change or add to any of such
locations, or (iii) change the location of its chief executive office from the
location identified in Schedule I, unless it gives the Agent at least twenty
(20) days' prior written notice thereof and executes any and all financing
statements and other documents that the Agent reasonably requests in connection
therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor represents that all of
its Inventory (other than Inventory in transit) is, and covenants that all of
its Inventory will be, located either (a) on premises owned by such Grantor, (b)
on premises leased by such Grantor; provided that (i) with respect to any such
premises leased pursuant to a lease entered into prior to the Closing Date, such
Grantor shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an executed
landlord waiver from the landlord of such premises in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent to the extent that the Inventory at such location is
at least $1,000,000 and with respect to any such premises leased pursuant to a
lease agreement entered into on or after the Closing Date, such Grantor shall
have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an executed landlord waiver
from the landlord of such premises in form and substance satisfactory to the
Agent to the extent that the Inventory at such location is at least $1,000,000,
or (c) in a warehouse or with a bailee, provided that (i) with respect to any
such agreement with respect to the storage of such Inventory or with any such
bailees entered into prior to the Closing Date, such Grantor shall have used
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an executed bailee letter from the
applicable Person in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent to the extent
that the Inventory at such location is at least $1,000,000 and (ii) with respect
to any other such agreement relating to such stored Inventory entered into on or
after the Closing Date, such Grantor shall have used commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain an executed bailee letter from the applicable Person in form
and substance satisfactory to the Agent to the extent that the Inventory at such
location is at least $1,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Inventory
described in the immediately preceding sentence may be deemed to be Eligible
Inventory unless all the eligibility requirements set forth in the definition of
Eligible Inventory are satisfied.

                                       8

<PAGE>

         5. JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION. Schedule II hereto identifies each
Grantor's name as of the Closing Date as it appears in official filings in the
state or country of its incorporation or other organization, the type of entity
of each Grantor (including corporation, partnership, limited partnership or
limited liability company), organizational identification number issued by each
Grantor's state or country of incorporation or organization or a statement that
no such number has been issued and the jurisdiction in which each Grantor is
incorporated or organized. Each Grantor has only one state or country of
incorporation or organization.

         6. TITLE TO, LIENS ON, AND SALE AND USE OF COLLATERAL. Each Grantor
represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders and agrees with the Agent
and the Lenders that: (a) such Grantor has rights in and the power to transfer
all of the Collateral free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except for Liens
permitted by Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement; (b) the Agent's Liens in the
Collateral will not be subject to any prior Lien except for those Liens
identified in clauses (a), (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of Permitted Liens
existing as of the Closing Date and described on Schedule 6.9 to the Credit
Agreement and Liens securing Capital Leases and purchase money Liens on
Collateral (other than Inventory) securing purchase money Debt permitted by
Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement; and (c) such Grantor will use, store, and
maintain the Collateral with all reasonable care and will use such Collateral
for lawful purposes only.

         7. APPRAISALS. Whenever a Default or Event of Default exists, each
Grantor shall, at its expense and upon the Agent's request, provide the Agent
with appraisals or updates thereof of any or all of the Collateral from an
appraiser, and prepared on a basis, satisfactory to the Agent, such appraisals
and updates to include, without limitation, information required by applicable
law and regulation and by the internal policies of the Lenders.

         8. ACCESS AND EXAMINATION. The Agent, accompanied by any Lender which
so elects, may at all reasonable times during regular business hours (and at any
time when a Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing) have access
to, examine, audit, make extracts from or copies of and inspect any or all of
each Grantor's records, files, and books of account and the Collateral, and
discuss each Grantor's affairs with such Grantor's officers and management. Each
Grantor will deliver to the Agent any instrument necessary for the Agent to
obtain records from any service bureau maintaining records for such Grantor. The
Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any time when
a Default or Event of Default exists, and at each Grantor's expense, make copies
of all of such Grantor's books and records, or require such Grantor to deliver
such copies to the Agent. The Agent may, without expense to the Agent, use such
of each Grantor's supplies and Real Estate as may be reasonably necessary for
maintaining or enforcing the Agent's Liens and each Grantor shall cause its
applicable personnel to provide such assistance as Agent shall reasonably
require to effectuate the terms of this Section 8. The Agent shall have the
right, at any time, in the Agent's name or in the name of a nominee of the
Agent, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to the
Accounts, Inventory, or other Collateral, by mail, telephone, or otherwise.

         9. COLLATERAL REPORTING. Each Borrower Grantor shall provide the Agent
with the following documents at the following times in form satisfactory to the
Agent: (a) at the times specified in Section 5.2(j) of the Credit Agreement, a
schedule of such Borrower Grantor's Accounts created, credits given, cash
collected and other adjustments to Accounts since the last

                                       9

<PAGE>

such schedule and a Borrowing Base Certificate; (b) on a monthly basis, by the
20th day of the following month, an aging of such Borrower Grantor's Accounts,
together with a reconciliation to the corresponding Borrowing Base and to such
Borrower Grantor's general ledger; (c) on a monthly basis by the 20th day of the
following month, an aging of such Borrower Grantor's accounts payable; (d) at
the time of delivery of each Borrowing Base Certificate required to be delivered
pursuant to the Credit Agreement (or more frequently if requested by the Agent),
a detailed calculation of Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory; (e) on a
monthly basis by the 20th day of the following month (or more frequently if
requested by the Agent), Inventory reports by category and business division
(and if requested by the Agent, location), together with a reconciliation to the
corresponding Borrowing Base and to such Borrower Grantor's general ledger; (f)
upon request, copies of invoices in connection with such Borrower Grantor's
Accounts, customer statements, credit memos, remittance advices and reports,
deposit slips, shipping and delivery documents in connection with such Borrower
Grantor's Accounts and for Inventory and Equipment acquired by such Borrower
Grantor, purchase orders and invoices; (g) upon request, a statement of the
balance of each of the Intercompany Accounts; (h) such other reports as to the
Collateral of such Borrower Grantor as the Agent shall reasonably request from
time to time; and (i) with the delivery of each of the foregoing, a certificate
of such Borrower Grantor executed by an officer thereof certifying as to the
accuracy and completeness in all material respects of the foregoing; provided
that with respect to any deliveries made under clauses (f), (g) and (h), such
certificate shall be given upon Agent's request. If any of a Borrower Grantor's
records or reports of the Collateral are prepared by an accounting service or
other agent, such Borrower Grantor hereby authorizes such service or agent to
deliver such records, reports, and related documents to the Agent, for
distribution to the Lenders.

         10. ACCOUNTS.

                  (a)      Each Borrower Grantor hereby represents and warrants
to the Agent and the Lenders, with respect to such Borrower Grantor's Eligible
Accounts used in calculating the Borrowing Base, that: (i) each existing
Eligible Account represents, and each future Eligible Account will represent, a
bona fide sale or lease and delivery of goods by such Borrower Grantor, or
rendition of services by such Borrower Grantor, in the ordinary course of such
Borrower Grantor's business; (ii) each existing Eligible Account is, and each
future Eligible Account will be, for a liquidated amount payable by the Account
Debtor thereon on the terms set forth in the invoice therefor or in the schedule
thereof delivered to the Agent, without any offset, deduction, defense, or
counterclaim except those known to such Borrower Grantor and disclosed to the
Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Security Agreement; (iii) no payment will
be received with respect to any Eligible Account, and no credit, discount, or
extension, or agreement therefor will be granted on any Eligible Account, except
as reported to the Agent and the Lenders in Borrowing Base Certificates
delivered in accordance with this Security Agreement; (iv) each copy of an
invoice delivered to the Agent by such Borrower Grantor will be a genuine copy
of the original invoice sent to the Account Debtor named therein; and (v) all
goods described in any invoice representing a sale of goods will have been
delivered to the Account Debtor and all services of such Borrower Grantor
described in each invoice will have been performed.

                  (b)      Each Borrower Grantor shall not re-date any invoice
or sale or make sales on extended dating beyond that customary in such Borrower
Grantor's business or extend or

                                       10

<PAGE>

modify any Eligible Account. If a Borrower Grantor becomes aware of any matter
adversely affecting the collectibility of any Eligible Account or the Account
Debtor therefor involving an amount greater than $1,000,000, including
information regarding the Account Debtor's creditworthiness, such Borrower
Grantor will promptly so advise the Agent and exclude such Account from Eligible
Accounts.

                  (c)      Each Grantor shall not accept any note or other
instrument (except a check or other instrument for the immediate payment of
money) with respect to any Account other than in the ordinary course of business
but only to the extent such Account is defaulted or delinquent or only to the
extent such Account is not included in the Borrowing Base as an Eligible
Account. Any acceptance of any such instrument, shall be considered as evidence
of the Account and not payment thereof and such Grantor will promptly deliver
such instrument to the Agent, endorsed by such Grantor to the Agent in a manner
satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent. Regardless of the form of
presentment, demand, notice of protest with respect thereto, such Grantor (as
the endorser thereof) shall remain liable thereon until such instrument is paid
in full.

                  (d)      Each Borrower Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly
of all disputes and claims in excess of $1,000,000 with any Account Debtor, and
agrees to settle, contest, or adjust such dispute or claim at no expense to the
Agent or any Lender. No discount, credit or allowance shall be granted to any
such Account Debtor without the Agent's prior written consent, except for
discounts, credits and allowances made or given in the ordinary course of such
Borrower Grantor's business when no Event of Default exists hereunder. Each
Borrower Grantor shall send the Agent a copy of each credit memorandum in excess
of $1,000,000 as soon as issued, and such Borrower Grantor shall promptly report
that credit on Borrowing Base Certificates submitted by it. The Agent may at all
times when an Event of Default exists hereunder, settle or adjust disputes and
claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which the Agent
or the Required Lenders, as applicable, shall consider advisable and, in all
cases, the Agent will credit such Grantor's Loan Account with the net amounts
received by the Agent in payment of any Accounts.

                  (e)      If an Account Debtor returns any Inventory to a
Borrower Grantor when no Event of Default exists, then such Borrower Grantor
shall promptly determine the reason for such return and shall issue a credit
memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount. Each Borrower
Grantor shall immediately report to the Agent any return involving an amount in
excess of $1,000,000. Each such report shall indicate the reasons for the
returns and the locations and condition of the returned Inventory. In the event
any Account Debtor returns Inventory to a Grantor when an Event of Default
exists, such Borrower Grantor, upon the request of the Agent, shall: (i) hold
the returned Inventory in trust for the Agent; (ii) segregate all returned
Inventory from all of its other property; (iii) dispose of the returned
Inventory solely according to the Agent's written instructions; and (iv) not
issue any credits or allowances with respect thereto without the Agent's prior
written consent. All returned Inventory shall be subject to the Agent's Liens
thereon. Whenever any Inventory is returned, the related Account shall be deemed
ineligible to the extent of the amount owing by the Account Debtor with respect
to such returned Inventory and such returned Inventory shall not be Eligible
Inventory unless (i) such Inventory meets the criteria for Eligible Inventory
and (ii) the related Account has been made ineligible.

                                       11

<PAGE>

         11. COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS; PAYMENTS.

                  (a)      Each Borrower Grantor shall make collection of all
Accounts and other Collateral for the Agent, shall receive all payments as the
Agent's trustee, and shall immediately deliver all payments in their original
form duly endorsed in blank to the Agent, in each case in accordance with
Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement. If, notwithstanding such instructions, a
Borrower Grantor receives any proceeds of Accounts, it shall receive such
payments as the Agent's trustee, and shall immediately deliver such payments to
the Agent in their original form duly endorsed in blank or deposit them into the
Agent Account. The Agent or the Agent's designee may, at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, notify Account Debtors that the Accounts have
been assigned to the Agent and of the Agent's security interest therein, and may
collect them directly and charge the collection costs and expenses to the Loan
Account as a Revolving Loan. So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, each Borrower Grantor, at the Agent's request, shall execute and
deliver to the Agent such documents as the Agent shall require to grant the
Agent access to any post office box in which collections of Accounts are
received.

                  (b)      If sales of Inventory are made or services are
rendered for cash, each Borrower Grantor shall immediately deliver to the Agent
or deposit into the Agent Account the cash which such Borrower Grantor receives.

                  (c)      All payments, including immediately available funds
received by the Agent at a bank account designated by it, will be the Agent's
sole property for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and will be
credited to the Loan Account (conditional upon final collection) after allowing
one (1) Business Day for collection of such payments (excluding payments
consisting of immediately available funds which shall be credited to the Loan
Account immediately upon receipt); provided, however, that such payments shall
be deemed to be credited to the Loan Account immediately upon receipt for
purposes of (i) determining Availability, (ii) calculating the Unused Line Fee
pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement and (iii) calculating the amount
of interest accrued thereon solely for purposes of determining the amount of
interest to be distributed by the Agent to the Lenders (but not the amount of
interest payable by the Borrower Grantors).

                  (d)      In the event that the Borrower Grantors repay all of
the Obligations upon the termination of the Credit Agreement or upon
acceleration of the Obligations, other than through the Agent's receipt of
payments on account of the Accounts or proceeds of the other Collateral, such
payment will be credited to the appropriate Borrower Grantor's Loan Account upon
the Agent's receipt of immediately available funds.

         12. INVENTORY; PERPETUAL INVENTORY.

                  (a)      Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and
the Lenders and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders that all of the Inventory
owned by such Grantor is and will be held for sale or lease, or to be furnished
in connection with the rendition of services, in the ordinary course of such
Grantor's business. Each Grantor will keep its Inventory in good and marketable
condition, except for damaged or defective goods arising in the ordinary course
of such Grantor's business. Each Grantor will not, without the prior written
consent of the Agent,

                                       12

<PAGE>

acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval unless such Inventory
is segregated from such Grantor's other owned Inventory and is marked in a
manner designating the true owner thereof. Each Grantor agrees that all
Inventory produced by such Grantor in the United States of America will be
produced in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as
amended, and all rules, regulations, and orders thereunder. Each Grantor will
conduct a physical count of the Inventory at least once per Fiscal Year, and
after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at such other times as
the Agent requests. Each Grantor will maintain a perpetual inventory reporting
system at all times. Each Grantor will not, without the Agent's written consent,
sell any Inventory on a bill-and-hold, guaranteed sale, sale and return, sale on
approval, consignment, or other repurchase or return basis except that Grantors
may sell non-Eligible Inventory on a consignment basis in the ordinary course of
their business to the extent the amount of such Inventory does not exceed
$2,000,000 in the aggregate for all Grantors.

                  (b)      In connection with all Inventory financed by Letters
of Credit, each Grantor will, at the Agent's request, instruct all suppliers,
carriers, forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses or others receiving or holding
cash, checks, Inventory, Documents or Instruments in which the Agent holds a
security interest to deliver them to the Agent and/or subject to the Agent's
order, and if they shall come into such Grantor's possession, to deliver them,
upon request, to the Agent in their original form. Each Grantor shall also, at
the Agent's request, designate the Agent as the consignee on all bills of lading
and other negotiable and non-negotiable documents.

         13. EQUIPMENT.

                  (a)      Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and
the Lenders and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders that all of the Equipment
owned by such Grantor is and will be used or held for use in such Grantor's
business. Each Grantor shall keep and maintain its Equipment necessary for the
conduct of its business in operating condition and repair sufficient for the
conduct of its business (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and shall make all
necessary replacements thereof.

                  (b)      Each Grantor shall promptly inform the Agent of any
material deletions from the Equipment. Each Grantor shall not permit any
Equipment to become a fixture with respect to real property or to become an
accession with respect to other personal property with respect to which real or
personal property the Agent does not have a Lien. Each Grantor will not, without
the Agent's prior written consent, alter or remove any identifying symbol or
number on any of such Grantor's Equipment constituting Collateral.

                  (c)      Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, each
Grantor shall not, without the Agent's prior written consent, sell, license,
lease as a lessor, or otherwise dispose of any of such Grantor's Equipment.

         14. DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, AND CHATTEL PAPER. Each Grantor represents
and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that (a) all Documents, Instruments,
and Chattel Paper describing, evidencing, or constituting Collateral, and all
signatures and endorsements thereon, are and will be complete, valid, and
genuine, and (b) all goods evidenced

                                       13

<PAGE>

by such Documents, Instruments, Letter of Credit Rights and Chattel Paper are
and will be owned by such Grantor, free and clear of all Liens other than
Permitted Liens, Liens securing Capital Leases and purchase money Liens on
Collateral (other than Inventory) securing purchase money Debt permitted by
Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement. If a Grantor retains possession of any
Chattel Paper or Instruments with Agent's consent, such Chattel Paper and
Instruments shall be marked with the following legend: "This writing and the
obligations evidenced or served hereby are subject to the security interest of
Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and certain
Lenders."

         15. RIGHT TO CURE. The Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, at the
direction of the Required Lenders, pay any amount or do any act required of a
Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document in order to preserve,
protect, maintain or enforce the Obligations, the Collateral or the Agent's
Liens therein, and which such Grantor fails to pay or do, including payment of
any judgment against such Grantor, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge,
any finishing or processing charge, any landlord's or bailee's claim, and any
other Lien upon or with respect to the Collateral. All payments that the Agent
makes under this Section 15 and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the
Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall
be charged to the Loan Account of the Borrowers as a Revolving Loan. Any payment
made or other action taken by the Agent under this Section 15 shall be without
prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed
thereafter as herein provided.

         16. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent and the
Agent's designee as such Grantor's attorney, with power at any time that any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (except as noted below):
(a) to endorse such Grantor's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money
orders, or other forms of payment or security that come into the Agent's or any
Lender's possession; (b) to sign such Grantor's name on any invoice, bill of
lading, warehouse receipt or other negotiable or non-negotiable Document
constituting Collateral, on drafts against customers, on public records and on
assignments of Accounts, (c) regardless of whether any Event of Default shall
then exist, to sign such Grantor's name on any on notices of assignment, and
financing statements and to file any such financing statements by electronic
means with or without a signature as authorized or required by applicable law or
filing procedure; (d) to notify the post office authorities to change the
address for delivery of such Grantor's mail to an address designated by the
Agent and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor;
(e) regardless of whether any Event of Default shall then exist to send requests
for verification of Accounts to customers or Account Debtors; (f) to complete in
such Grantor's name or the Agent's name, any order, sale or transaction, obtain
the necessary Documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds
thereof; (g) to clear Inventory through customs in such Grantor's name, the
Agent's name or the name of the Agent's designee, and to sign and deliver to
customs officials powers of attorney in such Grantor's name for such purpose;
(h) to the extent that such Grantor's authorization given in Section 3(g) of
this Security Agreement is not sufficient, to file such financing statements
with respect to this Security Agreement, with or without such Grantor's
signature, or to file a photocopy of this Security Agreement in substitution for
a financing statement, as the Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in such
Grantor's name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation
statements which may require such Grantor's signature; and (i) to do all things
necessary to exercise the Agent's rights and remedies under the Credit

                                       14

<PAGE>

Agreement or this Security Agreement. Each Grantor ratifies and approves all
acts of such attorney. None of the Lenders or the Agent nor their attorneys will
be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of
fact or law except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power,
being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Credit Agreement has
been terminated and the Obligations have been fully satisfied.

         17. THE AGENT'S AND LENDERS' RIGHTS, DUTIES AND LIABILITIES.

                  (a)      Each Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability
arising from or relating to the use, sale, license or other disposition of such
Grantor's Collateral. The Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of
the Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect the Agent's Liens or to
collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the
Collateral release any Grantor from any of the Obligations. Following the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may
(but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Required Lenders
shall, without notice to or consent from any Grantor, sue upon or otherwise
collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of,
compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other
indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit
to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor,
any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person
liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without
discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of any Grantor for the
Obligations or under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement now or
hereafter existing between the Agent and/or any Lender and the Grantors.

                  (b)      It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall remain liable under
each of its contracts and each of its licenses to observe and perform all the
conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder.
Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under
any contract or license by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement
or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by the Agent or any
Lender of any payment relating to any contract or license pursuant hereto.
Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required or obligated in any manner to
perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Grantors under or pursuant to
any contract or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to
the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency
of any performance by any party under any contract or license, or to present or
file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or
the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may
be entitled at any time or times.

                  (c)      The Agent may at any time after a Default or an Event
of Default has occurred and be continuing (or if any rights of set-off (other
than set-offs against an Account arising under the contract giving rise to the
same Account) or contra accounts may be asserted with respect to the following),
without prior notice to the Grantors, notify Account Debtors, and other Persons
obligated on the Collateral that the Agent has a security interest therein, and
that payments shall be made directly to the Agent, for itself and the benefit of
the Lenders. Upon the request of the Agent, each Grantor shall so notify Account
Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral. Once any such notice has been
given to any Account Debtor or other Person

                                       15

<PAGE>

obligated on the Collateral, each Grantor shall not give any contrary
instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without the Agent's prior
written consent.

                  (d)      The Agent may at any time in the Agent's own name or
in the name of any Grantor communicate with Account Debtors, parties to
Contracts and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to
the Agent's satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of Accounts, payment
intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper. If a Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor, at its own expense, shall
cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by such Grantor
to prepare and deliver to the Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to
time promptly upon the Agent's request the following reports with respect to
such Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all
Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts as
the Agent may request. Upon the Agent's request, each Grantor, at its own
expense, shall deliver to the Agent the results of each physical verification,
if any, which such Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other
Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory.

         18. PATENT, TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT COLLATERAL.

                  (a)      The Grantors do not have any interest in, or title
to, any U.S. Patent, U.S. registered Trademark or U.S. registered Copyright
except as set forth in Schedule III hereto. This Security Agreement is effective
to create a valid and continuing Lien on and, upon filing of the Copyright
Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office and filing of the
Patent and Trademark Agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, and filing of appropriate financing statements, perfected Liens in favor
of the Agent on each Grantor's U.S. patents, U.S. registered trademarks and U.S.
registered copyrights and such perfected Liens are enforceable against any and
all creditors of and purchasers from any Grantor, except as enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, or by general equitable
principles. Upon filing of the Copyright Security Agreements with the United
States Copyright Office and filing of the Patent and Trademark Agreements with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the filing of appropriate
financing statements, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect
the Agent's Lien on each Grantor's U.S. patents, U.S. registered trademarks or
U.S. registered copyrights shall have been duly taken.

                  (b)      Each Grantor shall promptly notify the Agent if it
knows that any application or registration relating to any material patent,
trademark or copyright (now or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or
dedicated, or of any material adverse determination or development (including
the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office or any court) regarding such Grantor's ownership of any material patent,
trademark or copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain
the same.

                  (c)      In no event shall a Grantor, either directly or
through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the
registration of any U.S. patent, U.S. registered trademark or U.S. registered
copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States
Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving the Agent prompt

                                       16

<PAGE>

written notice thereof, and, upon request of the Agent, such Grantor shall
execute and deliver any and all Patent Security Agreements, Copyright Security
Agreements or Trademark Security Agreements as the Agent may request to evidence
the Agent's Lien on such U.S. patent, U.S. registered trademark or U.S.
registered copyright, and the General Intangibles of Grantor relating thereto or
represented thereby.

                  (d)      Each Grantor shall take all commercially reasonable
actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to maintain and pursue
each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the
registration of each of the U.S. patents, U.S. registered trademarks and U.S.
registered copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including the filing of
applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and
opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings, unless such Grantor
shall determine that such patent, trademark or copyright is not material to the
conduct of its business.

                  (e)      In the event that any of the U.S. patent, U.S.
registered trademark or U.S. registered copyright Collateral relating to the
manufacture, processing, production, sale or disposition of any Inventory or any
of the other material patent, trademark or copyright Collateral (in each case,
whether now or hereafter existing) is infringed upon, or misappropriated or
diluted by a third party, the appropriate Grantor shall notify the Agent
promptly after such Grantor learns thereof. Such Grantor shall, unless it shall
reasonably determine that such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is in
no way material to the conduct of its business or operations, unless otherwise
consented to by the Agent in writing, promptly sue for infringement,
misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such
infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other actions as
the Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such patent,
trademark or copyright Collateral.

         19. INDEMNIFICATION. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the
Agent or any Lender relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect
thereto or to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, each Grantor
will save, indemnify and keep the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and
against all expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), loss or
damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person
obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by such Grantor of any
obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or
liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors
from such Grantor, except in the case of the Agent or any Lender, to the extent
such expense, loss, or damage is attributable primarily to the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender. All such obligations of the
Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and only against the Grantors
and shall not be enforceable against the Agent or any Lender.

         20. LIMITATION ON LIENS ON COLLATERAL. The Grantors will not create,
permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take such
other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Liens
permitted by Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement, and will defend the right,
title and interest of the Agent and the Lenders in and to any of the Grantors'
rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons
whomsoever.

                                       17

<PAGE>

         21. NOTICE REGARDING COLLATERAL. Each Grantor will advise the Agent
promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of any Lien (other than Liens permitted by
Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement) or claim (to the extent such claim is in
excess of $100,000) made or asserted against any of such Grantor's Collateral,
and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event which would have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         22. REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.

                  (a)      In addition to all other rights and remedies granted
to it under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event the Agent, without demand of
performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the
notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon
such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements
and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the
UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such
Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial
process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any
other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Agent's claim or action
and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign,
give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and
deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or
more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such
prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent or any Lender shall have the
right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law,
upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Agent
and the Lenders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any
right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby
releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or
without notice. The Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any
Grantor's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use each Grantor's
premises without charge for such time or times as the Agent deems necessary or
advisable.

                  (b)      Each Grantor further agrees, at the Agent's request
during the existence of an Event of Default, to assemble the Collateral and make
it available to the Agent at a place or places designated by the Agent which are
reasonably convenient to the Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor's
premises or elsewhere. Until the Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other
disposition of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right to hold or use the
Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the
purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose
deemed appropriate by the Agent. The Agent shall have no obligation to the
Grantors to maintain or preserve the rights of the Grantors as against third
parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of the
Agent. The Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or
keeper to take possession of the Collateral and to enforce any of the Agent's
remedies (for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders), with respect to such
appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Agent
shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,

                                       18

<PAGE>

appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations as provided in the Credit
Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the
payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need
the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantors. To the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and
demands against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession,
retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise primarily out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any Lender as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Grantors agree that ten
(10) days prior notice by the Agent of the time and place of any public sale or
of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification
of such matters. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay
all Obligations, including any attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred by the
Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

                  (c)      Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the
Grantors hereby waive presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security
Agreement or any Collateral.

                  (d)      To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on
the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent
(a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to
prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work
in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b)
to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed
of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain
governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of
Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection
remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to
remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise
collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the
same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or
any portion of such Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers
to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of
a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites
that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral
or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or
quiet enjoyment, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the
Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to
provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of
Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the
services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 22(d) is
to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent
would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent's exercise of remedies
against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall
not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated
in this Section 22(d). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained
in this Section 22(d)

                                       19

<PAGE>

shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantors or to impose any duties
on the Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security
Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 22(d).

         23. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. For the purpose of
enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 22 hereof
(including, without limiting the terms of Section 22 hereof, in order to take
possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for
sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) during the existence of an Event
of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the
Agent and the Lenders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without
payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor but with such quality
controls as are necessary to avoid abandonment of any trademark) to use, license
or sublicense any Proprietary Rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license
access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout
thereof.

         24. LIMITATION ON AGENT'S AND LENDERS' DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL.
The Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the
Collateral in its possession or under its control and shall account for money
actually received by it. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any other
duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or
control of any agent or nominee of the Agent or such Lender, or any income
thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto.

         25. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a)      REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be
filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any
Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor
or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of any Grantor's assets, and shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the
Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or
reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of
the Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the
event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such
amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

                  (b)      NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein,
whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent,
approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served
upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties
desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to
this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the
manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement, the Parent
Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable.

                                       20

<PAGE>

                  (c)      SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of
this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement
shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating
the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security
Agreement. This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together
with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together,
set forth the complete understanding and agreement of the Agent, the Lenders and
the Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.

                  (d)      NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Neither the Agent nor
any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid
unless in writing, signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set
forth. A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent
would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any
delay in exercising on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, power or
privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be
exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and
remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security
Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in
writing, duly executed by the Agent and the Grantors.

                  (e)      LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and powers
provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the
exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the
provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all
applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited
to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement
invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded,
registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

                  (f)      TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT. Subject to
Section 26(a) hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the
satisfactory collateralization of all Letters of Credit and the payment in full
of all other Obligations (other than indemnification Obligations as to which no
claim has been asserted).

                  (g)      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Security Agreement and
all obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon their respective
successors and assigns (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of any
Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent, for the
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, hereunder, inure to the benefit of the
Agent and the Lenders, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of
the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of
participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any
agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion
thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to the
Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, hereunder. The Grantors may
not

                                       21

assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation
under this Security Agreement.

                  (h)      COUNTERPARTS. This Security Agreement may be
authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall
collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement. This Security
Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in
writing by the Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

                  (i)      GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE
INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS
PROVIDED THAT PERFECTION ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO ARTICLE 9 OF THE UCC MAY GIVE
EFFECT TO APPLICABLE CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW RULES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 9 OF
THE UCC) OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

                  (j)      JURISDICTION. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH
RESPECT TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF

DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE GRANTORS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF
AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE
COURTS. EACH OF THE GRANTORS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE
GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING: (1) THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY GRANTOR OR
ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS
DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER

THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE COURTS DESCRIBED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE
MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE THOSE JURISDICTIONS.

                  (k)      SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH
SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL (RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED)
DIRECTED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN AND SERVICE SO MADE
SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO
DEPOSITED IN THE U.S. MAILS POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL
AFFECT THE RIGHT OF

                                       22

<PAGE>

AGENT OR THE LENDERS TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS BY ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY
LAW.

                  (l)      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR, THE LENDERS AND
THE AGENT EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE
BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED
PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT
CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. EACH GRANTOR, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT
ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A
JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO
ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART,
TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY
SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of
any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties
hereto.

                  (n)      NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement.
In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this
Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties
hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring
any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security
Agreement.

                  (o)      ADVICE OF COUNSEL. Each of the parties represents to
each other party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and,
specifically, the provisions of Section 26(i) and Section 26(j), with its
counsel.

                  (p)      BENEFIT OF LENDERS. All Liens granted or contemplated
hereby shall be for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and all proceeds
or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to
the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

                            [SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]
