Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such

such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to
the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not
relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

          (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan or any payment required
by it on the date specified (a "Non-Funding Lender"), including any payment in
respect of its participation in Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve
any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date
but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding
Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

          Section 2.3 Letters of Credit

          (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this

days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, however, that no Issuer
shall be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence
of any of the following:

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

               (ii) such Issuer shall have received any written notice of the
     type described in clause (e) below;

               (iii) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of
     Credit, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the
     aggregate of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time;

               (iv) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of
     Credit, the sum of (i) the Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts at such time
     and (ii) the Reimbursement Obligations at such time exceeds the Letter of
     Credit Sublimit;

               (v) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit,
     the sum of (i) the Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts at such time with
     respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer and (ii) the
     Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by
     such Issuer at such time exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit committed to
     by such Issuer;

               (vi) any fees due in connection with a requested Issuance have
     not been paid;

               (vii) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form
     that is not acceptable to such Issuer; or

               (viii) such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated in
     any currency other than Dollars.

None of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity
as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit.

          (b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (i)
be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) be less than 5
days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter
of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for
additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the expiry
date referred to in clause (ii) above).

                                       38

<PAGE>

          (c) At any time after (i) a letter of credit (whether or not issued
under this Agreement) has been posted to support an appeal bond in respect of
the Harman Case or (ii) the Harman case has been finally settled or dismissed or
the Massey Parties have otherwise satisfied substantially all of their
obligations in respect of the Harman Case, no Issuer shall issue a Standby
Letter of Credit under this Section 2.3 unless the Borrower has provided a
written notice to the Agents and such Issuer confirming that the aggregate
amount of the Restricted Cash then on hand is zero (or will be zero after giving
effect to the issuance of any letter of credit issued under Section 8.1(m)
(Indebtedness) concurrently with the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit
and the transfer of all unused Letter of Credit Support to an account in respect
of which the Administrative Agent has a perfected security interest which
transfer is required to be made in order to maintain compliance with Section
8.2(f) (Liens, Etc.)).

          (d) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the
Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least
two Business Days' prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit D
(Form of Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form
as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of
Credit (a "Letter of Credit Request"). Such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, and face amount of the Letter
of Credit requested, the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit,
the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a
Business Day) and, in the case of an issuance, the Person for whose benefit the
requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must
be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than
11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested
Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

          (e) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this
Section 2.3, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of
Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuer's usual and
customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the
period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice
from the Agent or the Requisite Lenders that one or more of the conditions
precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter
of Credit) shall not on such date be satisfied or duly waived and ending when
such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. The relevant Issuer shall not
otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter
of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of
Credit.

          (f) If requested by the relevant Issuer, prior to the issuance of each
Letter of Credit by such Issuer, and as a condition of such Issuance and of the
participation of each Revolving Credit Lender in the Letter of Credit
Obligations arising with respect thereto, the Borrower shall have delivered to
such Issuer a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as the
Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a
"Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement"), signed by the Borrower, and such
other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In
the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit
Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
govern.

          (g) Each Issuer shall comply with the following:

               (i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic
     notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, which writing may be a
     telecopy or electronic mail, of the Issuance or renewal of a Letter of
     Credit issued by it, of all

                                       39

<PAGE>

     drawings under a Letter of Credit issued by it and the payment (or the
     failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation
     when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by
     telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each Revolving Credit
     Lender);

               (ii) upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to
     such Revolving Credit Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement
     Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as
     may reasonably be requested by such Revolving Credit Lender; and

               (iii) no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of
     each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the
     Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender
     requesting the same) and the Borrower separate schedules for Documentary
     Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and
     substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting
     forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of
     each month and any information requested by the Borrower or the
     Administrative Agent relating thereto.

          (h) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall
be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each
Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have
purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Credit
Lender's Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in such Letter of
Credit and the obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto (including all
Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and
guaranty pertaining thereto.

          (i) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit
the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any
Letter of Credit issued for its account no later than the date that is the next
succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives written notice from such
Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the
"Reimbursement Date"), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other
right that the Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other
Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of
Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer
pursuant to this clause (i) or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or
set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on
demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such
Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of
interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate
Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full,
at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Revolving
Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender
of such failure, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer
the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of such payment in
Dollars and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so
notifies such Revolving Credit Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any
Business Day, such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the
amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon
such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit

                                       40

<PAGE>

Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default
under Section 9.1(g) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan
and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the
Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a
Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever
any Issuer receives from the Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as
to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer
any payment from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (i), such
Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to each Revolving Credit Lender, in immediately available funds, an
amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of the amount of
such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the
Revolving Credit Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

          (j) If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have
so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (i)
above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such
Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with
interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the
Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter until such amount is repaid to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at the rate per annum
applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Facility.

          (k) The Borrower's obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and
the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of
Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all
circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

               (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
     Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

               (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from
     all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

               (iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right
     that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated
     with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other
     Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of
     Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other
     Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document
     or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

               (iv) any draft or other document presented under a 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;

               (v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against
     presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
     terms of such Letter of Credit; and

                                       41

<PAGE>

               (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the
     Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any
     other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
     the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.3,
     constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower's obligations
     hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any
resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts
and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms
thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any
Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to
it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein,
including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of
Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the
amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such
Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on
its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any
other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged
or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any
respect whatsoever and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the
documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in
each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of
the Issuer.

          Section 2.4 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments

          (a) The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days' prior notice
to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the
unused portions of the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving
Credit Lenders; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an
aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof.

          (b) The then current Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced on
each date on which a prepayment of Revolving Loans is made pursuant to Section
2.8(a) or (b) (Mandatory Prepayments) or would be required to be made had the
outstanding Revolving Loans equaled the Revolving Credit Commitments then in
effect, in each case in the amount of such prepayment (or deemed prepayment)
(and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by its
Ratable Portion of such amount).

          Section 2.5 Repayment of Loans

          (a) The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount
of the Revolving Loans on the Scheduled Termination Date or earlier, if
otherwise required by the terms hereof.

                                       42

<PAGE>

          (b) The Borrower promises to repay the Term Loans at the dates and in
the amounts set forth below:

                       Date                              Amount
                       ----                              ------

September 30, 2003 and each December 31, March 31,   $    625,000
June 30 and September 30 thereafter until the Term
Loan Maturity Date

Term Loan Maturity Date (if January 1, 2007)         $241,875,000

Term Loan Maturity Date (if the 5th anniversary of   $238,125,000;
the Closing Date)

provided, however, that the Borrower shall repay the entire unpaid principal
amount of the Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

          Section 2.6 Evidence of Debt

          (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts
of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
under this Agreement.

          (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance
with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan
made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by the Borrower to
each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower, whether such sum constitutes
principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses
or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender's share thereof,
if applicable.

          (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses
(a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein;
provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event
that any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note
or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to
such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and
deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Term Loans and Revolving
Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit
B-1 (Form of Revolving Credit Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Note),
respectively.

          Section 2.7 Optional Prepayments

          (a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may, at any time, upon at least one
Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Loans in whole or in part; provided, however,
that if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other
than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall
also pay any amount owing pursuant to Section 2.13(e) (Breakage Costs); and,
provided, further, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate
principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof. Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal
amount of Revolving Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable
on the date specified for such prepayment.

          (b) Term Loans. The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days'
prior notice to the Administrative Agent or at the end of any applicable
Interest Period (or at any other time with the payment of any amount then owing
pursuant to Section 2.13(e) (Breakage Costs), stating the proposed date and
aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, prepay the outstanding principal
amount of the Term Loans, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to
the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however,
that if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other
than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall
also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13(e) (Breakage Costs); and,
provided, further, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount
not less than $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
and that any such partial prepayment shall be applied to reduce ratably the
remaining installments of such outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans.
Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of the Term
Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified
for such prepayment.

          (c) The Borrower shall have no right to prepay the principal amount of
any Revolving Loan or any Term Loan other than as provided in this Section 2.7.

          Section 2.8 Mandatory Prepayments

          (a) Subject to clauses (d) and (e) below, upon receipt by any Massey
Entity of Net Cash Proceeds arising from an Asset Sale, Property Loss Event,
Debt Issuance, Restricted Cash Release or Equity Issuance, the Borrower shall
immediately prepay the Loans (or, to the extent there are no Loans then
outstanding, provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) in an
amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such mandatory prepayment
shall be applied in accordance with clause (c) below.

          (b) The Borrower shall prepay the Loans (or, to the extent there are
no Loans then outstanding, provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of
Credit) within 105 days after the last day of each Fiscal Year, in an amount
equal to 50% of Holdings' Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year; provided, that
(i) if as of the last day of such Fiscal Year, Holdings' Leverage Ratio is less
than 3.5:1, the foregoing 50% shall be reduced to 20%, and (ii) at any time
Holdings' Leverage Ratio is less than 2:1, the Borrower shall not be required to
make any prepayments under this clause (b). Any such mandatory prepayment shall
be applied in accordance with clause (c) below.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(f) (Payments and
Computations), any prepayments made by the Borrower required to be applied in
accordance with

                                       44

<PAGE>

this clause (c) shall be applied as follows: first, to repay the outstanding
principal balance of the Term Loans, until such Term Loans shall have been
prepaid in full; second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full; and
then, to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations in the
manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) until
all such Letter of Credit Obligations have been fully cash collateralized in the
manner set forth therein. All repayments of the Term Loans made pursuant to this
clause (c) shall be applied to reduce ratably the remaining installments of such
outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans. All repayments of Revolving
Loans required to be made pursuant to this clause (c) shall result in a
permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments to the extent provided
in Section 2.4(b) (Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments).

          (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8 to the contrary, the
Reinvestment Deferred Amount arising from a Reinvestment Event shall, at the
election of the Borrower, either (i) be applied to prepay the Revolving Loans
pending reinvestment thereof by the applicable Massey Entity (which prepayment
shall not result in a permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments)
or (ii) be held by the applicable Massey Entity; provided, that, in each case:
(A) such Massey Entity shall use or commit to use such Reinvestment Deferred
Amount to repair, restore or replace the assets which were the subject of such
Reinvestment Event with assets that are useful in the Massey Entities' business
no later than 270 days after receipt thereof, and (B) if, at any time prior to
the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the aggregate amount of such Reinvestment Deferred Amount
shall be applied to repay the Loans as set forth in clause (c) above; provided
further, that, to the extent that any amount of such Reinvestment Deferred
Amount is not used or committed to be used prior to the applicable Reinvestment
Prepayment Date, such Reinvestment Prepayment Amount shall be applied on the
Reinvestment Prepayment Date to repay the Loans as set forth in clause (c)
above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Reinvestment Deferred
Amount that the Borrower elects to reinvest pursuant to this clause (d) arises
from the sale or loss of Collateral, such Reinvestment Deferred Amount shall be
applied to acquire replacement assets constituting Collateral.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 2.8, as long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing:

               (i) the Borrower shall only be required to apply 50% of the Net
     Cash Proceeds arising from Asset Sales of all or any portion of Westvaco or
     Eastman to prepay the Loans (or, to the extent there are no Loans then
     outstanding, provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit)
     pursuant to this Section 2.8;

               (ii) the Borrower shall not be required to apply Net Cash
     Proceeds from a Debt Issuance of New Securities to prepay the Loans (or, to
     the extent there are no Loans then outstanding, provide cash collateral in
     respect of Letters of Credit) pursuant to this Section 2.8 to the extent
     the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are applied to permanently repay, redeem,
     defease or repurchase the 6.95% Notes (plus any interest owed under the
     6.95% Notes and any cash costs associated with the issuance of any New
     Securities (including underwriting fees, attorneys' fees, advisors' fees,
     investment bank fees and taxes)) in an amount equal to such Net Cash
     Proceeds; and

               (iii) the Borrower shall not be required to apply Net Cash
     Proceeds from an Equity Issuance of common stock of Holdings to prepay the
     Loans (or, to the

                                       45

<PAGE>

     extent there are no Loans then outstanding, provide cash collateral in
     respect of Letters of Credit) pursuant to this Section 2.8 to the extent
     the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are applied to finance a Permitted
     Acquisition by a Massey Entity; provided that prior to the consummation of
     any such Equity Issuance the Borrower has given notice to the
     Administrative Agent that Holdings intends to invest the Net Cash Proceeds
     thereof pursuant to this clause (iii) and Holdings does so invest such Net
     Cash Proceeds within 45 days after the receipt thereof.

          (f) If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit
Outstandings exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, the Borrower
shall forthwith prepay the Revolving Loans then outstanding in an amount equal
to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the
aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall provide cash
collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in
Section 9.3 (Actions in respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 105%
of such excess.

          Section 2.9 Interest

          (a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all
other Obligations (other than pursuant to Hedging Contracts that are Loan
Documents, to the extent such Hedging Contracts provide for the accrual of
interest on unpaid obligations) shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on
the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in
the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due
and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in
clause (c) below, as follows:

               (i) if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per
     annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time
     and (B) the Applicable Margin; and

               (ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the
     sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest
     Period and (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during
     such Eurodollar Interest Period.

          (b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan
shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar
quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate
Loan, (B) in the case of Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans, upon the payment
or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full,
at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan, (ii)
interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on
the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such
Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day during
such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such
Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part
and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and (iii) interest accrued on the amount
of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such
Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

          (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified
in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and for as long thereafter as such Event of
Default shall be continuing, the principal

                                       46

<PAGE>

balance of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations then due and
payable shall bear interest at a rate that is two percent per annum in excess of
the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other Obligations from time to
time. Such interest shall be payable on demand.

          Section 2.10 Conversion/Continuation Option

          (a) The Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to
convert Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii)
at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans
or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate
Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided,
however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Loans for each Interest
Period must be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated
among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender's Ratable Portion.
Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit E (Form of
Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a "Notice of Conversion or Continuation")
and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business
Days' prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being
converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a
conversion, the date of conversion.

          (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its
receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected
therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of
Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in
part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest
Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Default or an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or
conversion into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section
2.13 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans). If, within the time
period required under the terms of this Section 2.10, the Administrative Agent
does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower
containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an
additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the
expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans shall be automatically
converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be
irrevocable.

          Section 2.11 Fees

          (a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to each
Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds such Lender's Ratable Portion
of the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (ii)
the outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations (the "Unused
Commitment Fee") from the date hereof through the Revolving Credit Termination
Date at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (x) on the
first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such
Business Day following the Closing Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date.

          (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the following
amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer:

               (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of
     a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such
     Issuer, an issuance

                                       47

<PAGE>

     fee in an amount agreed by such Issuer and the Borrower (but in any event
     not greater than 0.25% per annum of the maximum undrawn face amount of such
     Letter of Credit), payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each
     calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the
     issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit
     Termination Date;

               (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
     Revolving Credit Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee
     accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving
     Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans on the maximum undrawn face amount of
     such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of
     each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following
     the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit
     Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an
     Event of Default, such fee shall be increased by two percent per annum and
     shall be payable on demand; and

               (iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the
     issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing
     made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such
     Issuer's standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of
     issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.

          (c) Additional Fees. The Borrower has agreed to pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Arranger additional fees, the amount and dates of
payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter.

          Section 2.12 Payments and Computations

          (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and
expenses) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in
Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8
(Notices Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed
immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or
fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in
Section 2.8(c) (Mandatory Prepayments) and in clauses (e) or (f) below, as
applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices;
provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 (Capital
Adequacy), Section 2.15 (Taxes) or Section 2.13(c) (Increased Costs) or (d)
(Illegality) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders. Payments
received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) shall be
deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

          (b) All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans calculated based
on clause (i) of the definition of Alternate Base Rate shall be made by the
Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. All other
computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent
on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                                       48

<PAGE>

          (c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day
other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case
be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may
be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on
or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month,
such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All
repayments of any Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be applied as follows:
first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay
such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate
Loans having earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being repaid prior to
those having later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods.

          (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such
due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the
extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first Business Day, and,
thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the
date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays
such amount to the Administrative Agent.

          (e) Except for payments and other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (f)
below (or required to be applied in accordance with Section 2.8 (Mandatory
Prepayments)), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative
Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows:
first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the
Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of
this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has
not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all
other Obligations then due and payable and third, as the Borrower so designates.
Payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent
shall be distributed to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with such
Lender's Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments; payments in
respect of the Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be
distributed to each Term Loan Lender in accordance with such Lender's Ratable
Portion of the Term Loans; and all payments of fees and all other payments in
respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and
Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders,
in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

          (f) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the
application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any
proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8
(Mandatory Prepayments) and clause (e) above, the Administrative Agent may, and,
upon either (A) the written direction of the Agents or the Requisite Lenders or
(B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies),
shall, deliver a Blockage Notice to each Deposit Account Bank and apply all
payments in respect

                                       49

<PAGE>

of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account
(including all proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event that are held in the
Cash Collateral Account pending application of such proceeds as specified in a
Reinvestment Notice) and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following
order:

               First, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of
     the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on
     behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been
     reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;

               Second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense
     reimbursements or indemnities and Cash Management Obligations then due to
     the Administrative Agent;

               Third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense
     reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuers;

               Fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the
     Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers;

               Fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the
     Loans and Reimbursement Obligations;

               Sixth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and
     Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for outstanding
     Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3
     (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), ratably to the aggregate
     principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of
     Credit Undrawn Amounts, and Obligations owing with respect to Hedging
     Contracts;

               Seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations; and

               Eighth, any excess to the Borrower;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all
payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh above, the available
funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise
specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations
ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent's and each Lender's
or Issuer's interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such
clauses. The order of priority set forth in clauses first, second, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh above may at any time and from time to time be
changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to
or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a
Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer. The
order of priority set forth in clauses first, second, and fourth above may be
changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in
addition to that of the Requisite Lenders.

          (g) At the option of the Administrative Agent, principal on the
Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and other sums due and
payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances may be paid
from the proceeds of Revolving Loans. The Borrower hereby authorizes the
Revolving Credit Lenders to make Revolving Loans

                                       50

<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (Borrowing Procedures) from time to time in such
Revolving Credit Lender's discretion, that are in the amounts of any and all
interest, fees, expenses and other sums payable in respect of the Revolving
Loans and Protective Advances, and further authorizes the Administrative Agent
to give the Revolving Credit Lenders notice of any Borrowing with respect to
such Revolving Loans and to distribute the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to
pay such amounts. The Borrower agrees that all such Revolving Loans so made
shall be deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the satisfaction
of the conditions in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter
of Credit), which conditions the Revolving Credit Lenders irrevocably waive) and
directs that all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts.

          Section 2.13 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans

          (a) Determination of Interest Rate

          The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set
forth in the definition of "Eurodollar Rate." The Administrative Agent's
determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be
binding on the Borrower.

          (b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair

          In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that
adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest
rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be
fixed or (ii) any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar
Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lender
of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative
Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each
Eurodollar Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest
Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the
Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower that the Lenders have determined that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist.

          (c) Increased Costs

          If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any
change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of
reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the
compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law), in each case after the date of this Agreement, shall have the effect of
increasing the cost (other than any taxes) to such Lender of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans then the Borrower shall
from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased cost provided, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees
to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous
to it, in its reasonable discretion, in any legal, economic or regulatory
manner) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such
designation would allow the Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue
to perform its

                                       51

<PAGE>

obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Loans and avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
increased cost. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount of such
increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such
Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (d) Illegality

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender
determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation
of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of
this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental
Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar
Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such
Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of
such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base
Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender
shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar
Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding,
the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If,
at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.13(d), such Lender
determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall
promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the
notice to each other Lender. The Borrower's right to request, and such Lender's
obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

          (e) Breakage Costs

          In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.9 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender,
upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender's Eurodollar
Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any lost profits or loss of the
Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for
any reason a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing
or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a
telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a
successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given
pursuant to Section 2.10 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any
reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (excluding, however, mandatory
prepayments pursuant to Section 2.8 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is
not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a
required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of
any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any
failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the
terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to
the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement in reasonable
detail as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be
conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest
error.

                                       52

<PAGE>

          Section 2.14 Capital Adequacy

          If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any
change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy,
(b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c)
compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued
after the date of this Agreement shall have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender's (or any corporation controlling such Lender's) capital
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any
Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation
could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation,
then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand
to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A
certificate in reasonable detail as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes absent manifest error.

          Section 2.15 Taxes

          (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto imposed by the United States of America or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding, in the
case of each Lender, Issuer and the Administrative Agent, taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto: (A) that are measured by or imposed upon its gross or net income, and
any franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender, Issuer or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal
office or Applicable Lending Office are located (or any political subdivision
thereof), (B) that are imposed upon or measured by its income (including branch
profits taxes) by the United States of America or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (including, without limitation, any state in
the United States and any political subdivision of any such state), (C) that are
payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents (including United
States withholding taxes) under laws (including any statute, treaty or
regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of an Eligible
Assignee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance) applicable to such Lender,
Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any
United States withholding taxes payable solely as a result of any change in such
laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and
Acceptance) and (D) that are imposed on it as a result of a trade or business, a
permanent establishment, or a present or former connection between such Lender,
Issuer or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and the jurisdiction of the
Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or
therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities, excluding, with respect to each Lender, Issuer and
the Administrative Agent, liabilities attributable to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Lender, Issuer or Administrative Agent, being
hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be
deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any
Lender, any Issuer or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be
increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions on
account of Taxes (including deductions

                                       53

<PAGE>

on account of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.15, such Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions,
(y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, and
all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise similarly with respect to, any Loan
Document (collectively, "Other Taxes").

          (c) Without duplication of its obligation to make additional payments
on account of Taxes pursuant to clause (a) above each Loan Party shall, jointly
and severally, indemnify each Lender, Issuer and the Administrative Agent for
the full amount of Taxes with respect to payments by any Loan Party under any
Loan Document and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by
any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15 paid by such Lender,
Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability
(including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto (except, with respect to each Lender, Issuer and the
Administrative Agent to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent, including the
failure of such Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent to make any filing or
payment within such person's control, but only if such failure is the result of
gross negligence or willful misconduct), whether or not such Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made
within 30 days from the date such Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as
the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

          (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other
Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall furnish
to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.8
(Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof or, if no such receipt is available, other documentation
evidencing such payment.

          (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any
Loan Party hereunder or under the Guaranty, the agreements and obligations of
such Loan Party contained in this Section 2.15 shall survive the payment in full
of the Obligations.

          (f) Prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Lender or Issuer
that is a signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance
pursuant to which it becomes a Lender or Issuer in the case of each other Lender
or Issuer and from time to time thereafter if requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent (but, in any event, once every three years), each Lender or
Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two
completed originals of each of the following: (i) Form W-8ECI (in the case of a
Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from withholding because the income is
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or any successor form, (ii)
Form W-8BEN (in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from, or a
reduction of, withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form,
(iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h)
or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding under
the portfolio interest exemption) or with respect to any Loan Documents in which
a participation has been sold, a Form W-8IMY along with accompanying Forms
W-8BEN

                                       54

(claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption) or
any successor forms, (iv) any other applicable form, certificate or document
prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender's entitlement to
such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect
to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents, or
(v) in the case of any other Lender or Issuer, Form W-9 (claiming exemption from
United States backup withholding tax) or any successor form. Unless the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory
to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender or
Issuer are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such
tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the
Administrative Agent shall, notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.15 to the
contrary, withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of
Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate and the Loan Parties
shall have no indemnification obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or be required to pay additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.15, with respect to amounts so withheld or any related amounts.

          (g) Any Lender or Issuer claiming any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with
its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its
Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable
or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole reasonable determination of
such Lender or Issuer, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuer.

          (h) If a Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent receives a refund
or realizes the benefit of a credit or reduction (including a refund of, credit
against, or reduction in any tax excluded from Taxes) in respect of any Taxes or
Other Taxes for which it has received an indemnity payment from (or an
additional amount has been paid by) a Loan Party, such Lender, Issuer or the
Administrative Agent shall within 45 days from the date of such receipt or
realization pay over the amount of such refund, credit or reduction to the Loan
Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or other amounts paid
by the Loan Party under this Section 2.15 with respect to such Taxes or Other
Taxes), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, Issuer or
the Administrative Agent incurred to apply for such refund, credit or reduction
and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund, credit or reduction), provided that the
Loan Party (upon written request of such Lender, Issuer or the Administrative
Agent) agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party to such Lender,
Issuer or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender, Issuer or the
Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund, credit or reduction to
such Governmental Authority. Nothing in this paragraph shall require any Lender,
Issuer or the Administrative Agent to file for a refund credit or reduction or
to make available to a Loan Party any tax return or other information that the
Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent deems to be confidential or
proprietary.

          (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15 or
in Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations), a Loan Party shall not be
required to indemnify any Lender or Issuer (including, for purposes of this
paragraph, any participant or other transferee of any rights of a Lender or
Issuer) or the Administrative Agent, or to pay any additional amount to any
Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent, in respect of any Taxes pursuant to
this Section 2.15 to the extent that such Taxes were applicable on the date such
Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent became a party to this Agreement or,
with respect to payments to a new

Applicable Lending Office, the date such Lender or Issuer designated such
Applicable Lending Office.

          Section 2.16 Substitution of Lenders

          (a) In the event that (i) any Lender makes a claim under Section
2.13(c) (Increased Costs) or Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy), (ii) it becomes
illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and
such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(d) (Illegality),
(iii) the Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.15
(Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (iv) any Lender becomes a
Non-Funding Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or an Insolvent Lender, (any such
Lender, an "Affected Lender"), the Borrower may substitute any Lender and, if
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Eligible Assignee
(a "Substitute Institution") for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery
of a written notice (a "Substitution Notice") within a reasonable time (in any
case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events
described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the Borrower intends to make
such substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims
increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or
condition and such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each
other, then the Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the
Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the
Borrower's receipt of the other Affected Lenders' claim) less than all, Lenders
making such claims.

          (b) If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section
2.16, the Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall
purchase, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents
and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be
relieved of, the Affected Lender's Revolving Credit Commitments and all other
prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents
(other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages,
to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed
obligations). Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all
rights and claims hereunder) shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the
later of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its Ratable Portion of the
Revolving Credit Outstandings, the Term Loans, together with any other
Obligations owing to it, (ii) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it and the Borrower whereby the
Substitute Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (ii) the
payment in full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs
and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date.
Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the Substitute
Institution shall become a "Lender" hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement
having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender's Commitment assumed
by it and such Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated; provided,
however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor
of such Affected Lender.

          (c) Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its
rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to
this Section 2.16, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment, together with any Note
(if such Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such
Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected
Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment
invalid.

          Section 2.17 Facility Increase.

          (a) The Borrower may (no more frequently than once during the term of
the Facilities) request the Lenders or other institutions that would be Eligible
Assignees to provide additional Commitments (with respect to either the Term
Loan Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility, at the option of the Borrower)
up to an aggregate amount not in excess of $100,000,000 (a "Facility Increase");
provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative
Agent at least 60 days notice of its intention to effect the Facility Increase
and the desired amount of such Facility Increase, (ii) the conditions precedent
to a Borrowing set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied as of the Facility
Increase Effective Date (as defined below), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall
have received on or prior to the Facility Increase Effective Date, a certificate
of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of each Loan Party, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, certifying the resolutions
of such Loan Party's board of directors (or equivalent governing body) approving
and authorizing the Facility Increase to the extent of the stated desired amount
of such Facility Increase, and (iv) an opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties in
form and substance and from counsel satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and
addressed to the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders dated the
Facility Increase Effective Date and addressing such matters as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request shall be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

          (b) The Borrower shall have the right to offer such increase to (x)
the Lenders, and each Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to
commit to all or a portion of the proposed Facility Increase or (y) any
institution that would be an Eligible Assignee; provided, however, that the
minimum additional Commitment of each Eligible Assignee in respect of Revolving
Credit Commitments equals or exceeds $5,000,000 and the minimum additional
Commitment of each Eligible Assignee in respect of Term Loans Commitments equals
or exceeds $2,000,000 and such Lender or Eligible Assignee executes an
Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Lender or Eligible Assignee agrees
to commit to all or a portion of such Facility Increase and, in the case of an
Eligible Assignee, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender.

          (c) On the effective date provided for in the Assumption Agreements
providing for a Facility Increase (each a "Facility Increase Effective Date"),
(i) the Commitments will be increased by the additional amount committed to by
each Lender or Eligible Assignee on the Facility Increase Date, (ii) the Letter
of Credit Sublimit, to the extent agreed in writing by each applicable Issuer,
shall be increased as set forth in the definition thereof, on the Facility
Increase Date and (iii) to the extent the Facility Increase results in any
Revolving Credit Lender owning less than its Ratable Portion of the Revolving
Loans, such Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase from each other Revolving
Credit Lender Revolving Loans such that after giving effect to such purchases,
each Revolving Credit Lender owns Revolving Loans is an amount equal to its
Ratable Portion of all Revolving Loans.

          (d) In the event there are Lenders and Eligible Assignees that have
committed to a Facility Increase in excess of the maximum amount requested (or
permitted), then the Agents (with the consent of the Borrower which shall not be
unreasonably withheld) shall have the right to allocate such commitments, first
to Lenders and then to Eligible Assignees.

to make any Loan and of each Issuer on any date (including the Closing Date) to
Issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction of each of the
following conditions precedent:

          (a) Request for Borrowing or Issuance of Letter of Credit. With
respect to any Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have received a duly
executed Notice of Borrowing, and, with respect to any Letter of Credit, the
Administrative Agent and the Issuer shall have received a duly executed Letter
of Credit Request.

          (b) Representations and Warranties; No Defaults. The following
statements shall be true on the date of such Loan or Issuance, both before and
after giving effect thereto and, in the case of any Loan, to the application of
the proceeds therefrom:

               (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV
     (Representations and Warranties) and in the other Loan Documents shall be
     true and correct on and as of the Closing Date and shall be true and
     correct in all material respects on and as of any such date after the
     Closing Date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date,

<PAGE>

          (c) No Legal Impediments. The making of the Loans or the Issuance of
such Letter of Credit on such date does not violate any Requirement of Law on
the date of or immediately following such Loan or Issuance of such Letter of
Credit and is not enjoined, temporarily, preliminarily or permanently.

Each submission by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of
Borrowing and the acceptance by the Borrower of the proceeds of each Loan
requested therein, and each submission by the Borrower to an Issuer of a Letter
of Credit Request, and the Issuance of each Letter of Credit requested therein,
shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower as
to the matters specified in clause (b) above on the date of the making of such
Loan or the Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

          Section 3.3 Determinations of Initial Borrowing Conditions

          For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified
in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit),
each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved, accepted or be
satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lenders unless
an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have received notice from such Lender
prior to the initial Borrowing or Issuance hereunder specifying its objection

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiaries to:

          (a) at all times comply fully with all of the terms and conditions of

all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however,
that upon the occurrence of the Events of Default specified in Section 9.1(g)
(Events of Default), (x) the Commitments of each Lender to make Loans and the
commitments of each Lender and Issuer to Issue or participate in Letters of
Credit shall each automatically be terminated and (y) the Loans, all such
interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall automatically become and be
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. In addition to the
remedies set forth above, the Administrative Agent may exercise any remedies
provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or
any other remedies provided by applicable law.

          Section 9.3 Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit

          At any time (i) upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) after
the Revolving Credit Termination Date when the aggregate funds on deposit in
Cash Collateral Accounts shall be less than 105% of the Letter of Credit
Obligations, (iii) as may be required by Section 2.8(c) or Section 2.8(d)
(Mandatory Prepayments), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent's office referred to in
Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), for deposit in a Cash Collateral Account, (x) in
the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the amount required to that, after such
payment, the aggregate funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts equals
or exceeds 105% of the sum of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and
(y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the amount required by Section 2.8(c)or
Section 2.8(e)(iii) (Mandatory Prepayments). The Administrative Agent may, from
time to time after funds are deposited in any Cash Collateral Account, apply
funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts,
in accordance with Section 2.8(c) (Mandatory Prepayments) and Section 2.12(g)
(Payments and Computations), as shall have become or shall become due and
payable by the Borrower to the Issuers or Lenders in respect of the Letter of
Credit Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice
of any such application; provided, however, that the failure to give such
written notice shall not invalidate any such application.

          Section 9.4 Rescission

          If at any time after termination of the Commitments or acceleration of
the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and
all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations
that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on
principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates
specified herein) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than non-payment
of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by
virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 11.1
(Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), then upon the written consent of the Requisite
Lenders and written notice to the Borrower, the termination of the Commitments
or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled;
provided, however, that such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of
Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The
provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and
the Issuers to a decision that may be made at the election of the Requisite
Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not
give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any
acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

                            The Administrative Agent

          Section 10.1 Authorization and Action

          (a) Each Lender and each Issuer hereby appoints CNAI as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and each Lender and each Issuer authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender
and each Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and
deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to
which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and
remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents and,
in the case of the Collateral Documents, to act as agent for the Lenders,
Issuers and the other Secured Parties under such Collateral Documents.

          (b) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take
any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders
and each Issuer; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith
believes exposes it to personal liability unless the Administrative Agent
receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuers
with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or applicable
law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender and each Issuer
prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

                                       99

<PAGE>

          (c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuers and its duties are entirely administrative in nature.
The Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed
any obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for
any Lender, Issuer or holder of any other Obligation. The Administrative Agent
may perform any of its duties under any Loan Document by or through its agents
or employees.

          (d) No Co-Syndication Agent or Arranger shall have any obligations or
duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity.

          Section 10.2 Administrative Agent's Reliance, Etc.

          None of the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any of
their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it, him, her or them under or in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for its, his,
her or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) may treat the payee of any Note as its
holder until such Note has been assigned in accordance with Section 11.2
(Assignments and Participations), (b) may rely on the Register to the extent set
forth in Section 11.2(c) (Assignments and Participations), (c) may consult with
legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower or any other Loan Party),
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (d) makes no
warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuer and shall not be responsible
to any Lender or Issuer for any statements, warranties or representations made
by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire either as to the performance or observance of any term,
covenant or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as to the
financial condition of any Loan Party or as to the existence or possible
existence of any Default or Event of Default, (f) shall not be responsible to
any Lender or Issuer for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority
of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto or thereto and (g) shall incur no liability under or in respect
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a telecopy or
electronic mail) or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and
signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

          Section 10.3 Posting of Approved Electronic Communications

          (a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuers, Holdings and the Borrower agree,
and the Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to agree, that the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved
Electronic Communications available to the Lenders and Issuers by posting such
Approved Electronic Communications on "e-Disclosure", the Agent's internet
delivery system that is part of Fixed Income Direct, Citigroup Global Fixed
Income's primary web portal, IntraLinks(TM) or a successor electronic platform
chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its internet delivery system (the
"Approved Electronic Platform").

                                      100

<PAGE>

          (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web
portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies
implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time
(including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password
Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a
single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the
Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders,
the Issuers, Holdings and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and the Borrower
shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to acknowledge and agree, that the
distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure
and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded
by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders,
the Issuers, Holdings and the Borrower hereby approves, and the Borrower shall
cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to approve, distribution of the Approved
Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and
understands and assumes, and the Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor
to understand and assume, the risks of such distribution.

          (c) The Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic
Platform are provided "as is" and "as available". None of the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the "Agent Affiliates") warrant
the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications
and the Approved Electronic Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for
errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved
Electronic Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory
(including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code
defects) is made by the Agent's Affiliates in connection with the Approved
Electronic Communications.

          (d) Each of the Lenders, the Issuers, Holdings and the Borrower agree,
and the Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to agree, that the
Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law)
shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the
Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent's
generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

          Section 10.4 The Administrative Agent Individually

          With respect to its Ratable Portion, CNAI shall have and may exercise
the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and
liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The
terms "Lenders", "Revolving Credit Lenders", "Term Loan Lenders", "Requisite
Lenders" and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise
indicates, include, without limitation, the Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity as a Lender, a Revolving Credit Lender, Term Loan Lender or
as one of the Requisite Lenders. CNAI and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with, any Loan Party as if CNAI were not acting as the Administrative
Agent.

          Section 10.5 Lender Credit Decision

          Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender conduct
its own independent

                                      101

<PAGE>

investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and each
other Loan Party in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans and
with the issuance of the Letters of Credit. Each Lender and each Issuer also
acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other
Loan Documents.

          Section 10.6 Indemnification

          Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of
its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), from and
against such Lender's aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of
financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of
its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any
action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the
Administrative Agent's or such Affiliate's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the
Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any
out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial
and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative 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 its rights or responsibilities under, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative
Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Loan Party.

          Section 10.7 Successor Administrative Agent

          The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. In either case,
such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower
(which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and
become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take
such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor
Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall
continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or

                                      102

<PAGE>

omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

          Section 10.8 Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents

          (a) Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the
Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express
terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the
exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so
required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured
Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the
disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuers with respect to
all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the
Collateral Documents, (ii) execute and deliver each Collateral Document and
accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries, (iii) act as collateral agent for the Lenders, the Issuers and the
other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests
and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein,
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and
directs each Lender and Issuer to act as collateral sub-agent for the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for purposes of the perfection
of all security interests and Liens with respect to any item of Collateral
(including, but not limited to, Deposit Accounts), (iv) manage, supervise and
otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such action as is necessary or
desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and
Liens created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents and (vi)
except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any
other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties with respect to the
Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or
otherwise.

          (b) Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby consents to the release
of, and hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent to release (or, with respect to Liens described clause (ii) below, the
release of or subordination to) any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuers on any of the following:

               (i) all of the Collateral and all of the Loan Parties, upon
     termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all
     Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that the
     Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable
     (and, in respect of contingent Letter of Credit Obligations, with respect
     to which cash collateral has been deposited or a back-up letter of credit
     has been issued, in either case on terms satisfactory to the Administrative
     Agent and the applicable Issuers);

               (ii) any assets that are or may become subject to Liens permitted
     by Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.2(d) (Liens); and

               (iii) any part of the Collateral (A) sold or disposed of by a
     Loan Party if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or
     permitted pursuant to a waiver or consent of a transaction otherwise
     prohibited by this Agreement) (other than an Asset Sale pursuant to Section
     8.4(e) (Asset Sales)) or (B) that constitutes Stock or

                                      103

<PAGE>

     intercompany Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor if such Subsidiary
     Guarantor has been dissolved pursuant to Section 7.1 (Preservation of
     Corporate Existence, Etc.) or sold or disposed of pursuant to Section 8.4
     (Sale of Assets).

          Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby consents to the release and
hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent to
release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if the
Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is being dissolved pursuant to Section 7.1
(Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc.) or sold or disposed of, if such sale
or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver
or consent of a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement) (other than
an Asset Sale pursuant to Section 8.4(e) (Asset Sales)), or, if not pursuant to
such sale or disposition, if such release is consented to by the Lenders
required to consent thereto under Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.).

Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby directs the Administrative Agent to
execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and
do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant
to this Section 10.8 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

          Section 10.9 Collateral Matters Relating to Related Obligations

          The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect
of any Secured Obligation arising under any Hedging Contract or Cash Management
Obligation or that is otherwise owed to Persons other than the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers (collectively, "Related Obligations") solely
on the condition and understanding, as among the Administrative Agent and all
Secured Parties, that (a) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the
benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set
forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the
Administrative Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with
respect to, the Guaranty and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the
holders of the Related Obligations, but the Administrative Agent is otherwise
acting solely as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and shall have no
fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other
obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (b) all matters,
acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Guaranty, the Collateral, or
the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any
Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist
in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in
respect of any Related Obligation, (c) each Secured Party shall be bound by all
actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative Agent and the Requisite
Lenders, each of whom shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and
exclusively in its own interest given its own Commitments and its own interest
in the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations to it arising
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability
to any other Secured Party or as to any Related Obligation and without regard to
whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit
of the Collateral or becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in
jeopardy thereby, (d) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Secured
Party (except the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, to the
extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or
to direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in
respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents and (e)
no holder of any Related Obligation shall

                                      104

<PAGE>

exercise any right of setoff, banker's lien or similar right except to the
extent provided in Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off) and then only to the extent
such right is exercised in compliance with Section 11.7 (Sharing of Payments,
Etc.).

                                  Miscellaneous

          Section 11.1 Amendments, Waivers, Etc.

          (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) and, in
the case of any amendment, by the Borrower, 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 amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent (with the consent of
each Lender directly affected thereby, in addition to the Requisite Lenders), do
any of the following:

               (i) waive any condition specified in Section 3.1 (Conditions
     Precedent to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit) or 3.2(b) (Conditions
     Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), except with respect to a
     condition based upon another provision hereof, the waiver of which requires
     only the concurrence of the Requisite Lenders and, in the case of the
     conditions specified in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans
     and Letters of Credit), subject to the provisions of Section 3.3
     (Determinations of Initial Borrowing Conditions);

               (ii) increase the Commitment of such Lender or subject such
     Lender to any additional obligation; provided, however, that any such

     Commitment shall require the consent of the Requisite Term Loan Lenders or
     the Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be;

               (iii) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan owing to
     such Lender, or waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled date fixed for the
     payment or reduction of principal of any such Loan (it being understood
     that Section 2.8 (Mandatory Prepayments) does not provide for scheduled
     dates fixed for payment) or for the reduction of such Lender's Commitment;

               (iv) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement
     Obligation owing to such Lender (other than by the payment or prepayment
     thereof);

               (v) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or Reimbursement
     Obligations outstanding to such Lender or any fee payable hereunder to such

     of a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement); or

               (ix) amend this Section 11.1 or either definition of the terms
     "Requisite Lenders" or "Ratable Portion";

and provided, further, that (A) any modification of the application of payments
to the Term Loans (in a manner which is disproportionately adverse to the Term
Loan Lenders) pursuant to Section 2.8 (Mandatory Prepayments) or Section 2.12(f)
(Payments and Computations) shall require the consent of the Requisite Term Loan
Lenders and any such modification of the application of payments to the
Revolving Loans (in a manner which is disproportionately adverse to the
Revolving Lenders) pursuant to Section 2.8 (Mandatory Prepayments) or Section
2.12(f) (Payments and Computations) or the reduction of the Revolving Credit

Revolving Credit Lenders, (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an
option pursuant to Section 11.2(f) (Assignments and Participations) affect the
grant or nature of such option or the right or duties of such Special Purpose
Vehicle hereunder, (C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing
and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above

waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle
the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

          (c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification,
waiver or termination (a "Proposed Change") requiring the consent of all
affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent
of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender
whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred
to as a "Non-Consenting Lender"), then, so long as the Lender acting as the
Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower's request,
an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right
with the Administrative Agent's consent and in the Administrative Agent's sole
discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting
Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the
Administrative Agent's request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the
Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Commitments, Term
Loans and Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender for an
amount equal to the

                                      106

<PAGE>

principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued
interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided,
however, that such purchase and sale shall not be effective until (x) the
Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms
hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all
Loans held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect
thereto through the date of the sale. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a
Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment an Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender's Loans are
evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided,
however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment
and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding
assignment) invalid.

          Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations

          (a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder
(including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, the
Revolving Loans and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i)(A) if
any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender's Revolving Credit
Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, such assignment shall cover the
same percentage of such Lender's Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving
Credit Commitment and (B) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning
Lender's Term Loans and Term Loan Commitment, such assignment shall cover the
same percentage of such Lender's Term Loans and Term Loan Commitment, (ii) the
aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as
of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment)
shall in no event (if less than the Assignor's entire interest), in respect of
the Revolving Credit Facility, be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and, in respect of the Term Loan Facility, be
less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,
except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Administrative Agent or (B)
if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of
such Lender, and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of
such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such
assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and
provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
11.2, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment
occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
shall not in any case be required with respect to assignments of Term Loans. Any
such assignment need not be ratable as among the Term Loan Facility and the
Revolving Credit Facility.

          (b) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender's Loans are
evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon the execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in
respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 2.16 (Substitution of Lenders)
and Section 11.1(c) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), the receipt by the
Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of
$3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and
Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the
extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been

                                      107

<PAGE>

assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender, and if such Lender were an Issuer, of such
Issuer hereunder and thereunder, (ii) Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans
assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notification in the
Register and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the
payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under
the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances
occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto).

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to
in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names
and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of and principal amount of the
Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time
(the "Register"). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be
effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes
of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (b)
above, the Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) are registered
obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and their
assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such
transfer in the Register. A Note shall only evidence the Lender's or an
assignee's right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event
is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This
Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in
"registered form" within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2)
of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code
or such regulations). Solely for purposes of this and for tax purposes only, the
Administrative Agent shall act as the Borrower's agent for purposes of
maintaining such notations of transfer in the Register.

          (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such
Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and
(iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days
after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if
requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new
Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and
Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the
assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the
assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to the
order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans
retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the
surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 (Form of
Revolving Credit Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Note), as applicable.

                                      108

<PAGE>

          (f) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this
Section 11.2 each Lender may do each of the following:

               (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or
     any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make
     hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose
     Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to
     the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make
     such Loans thereunder, provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall
     constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose
     Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall
     be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of
     Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an
     option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and
     (y) such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain
     unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for
     the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and
     shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and

               (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under
     this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights
     to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice
     to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, any Federal
     Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and
     (B) with notice to the Administrative Agent (but without consent of the
     Administrative Agent or the Borrower) (1) any holder of, or trustee for the
     benefit of, the holders of such Lender's Securities and (2) any Special
     Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to
     clause (i) above;

provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i)
above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an
assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the
other provisions of this Section 11.2) other than this clause (f) or clause (g)
below. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is
one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial
paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall
not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any
Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause
(f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such
agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations). The terms of
the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not
restrict such Lender's ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the
right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or to the departure by the Borrower from any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose
Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuers and
other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to,
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce
the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this
clause (f) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or
interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.15 (Taxes) and Section 2.13(d)
(Illegality) as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, no Loan Party shall, at any time, be obligated
to

                                      109

<PAGE>

make under Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.15 (Taxes) or Section
2.13(d) (Illegality) to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender any
payment in excess of the amount the Loan Party would have been obligated to pay
to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had
not been assigned the rights of such Lender hereunder.

          (g) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or
to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents
(including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans,
Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall
not, in any event, require the participant's consent to any amendments, waivers
or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to
any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining
from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of
the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan
Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent
would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether
of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan
Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such
participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the
Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.8(b) (Concerning the
Collateral and the Collateral Documents). In the event of the sale of any
participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender's obligations under the Loan
Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y)
such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this
Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 (Capital Adequacy) and
Section 2.15 (Taxes) and of Section 2.13(d) (Illegality) as if it were a Lender
so long as such participant complies with the tax documentation requirements of
Section 2.15 (f) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, no Loan Party shall, at any time, be obligated
to make under Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.15 (Taxes) or 2.13(d)
(Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender
(together with such Lender) any payment in excess of the amount such Loan Party
would have been obligated to pay to such Lender thereunder had such
participation not been sold.

          (h) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance
satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such
Lender. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any
assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of
such cessation, such Issuer's obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.3 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an
Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior
to such date.

          Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses

          (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees, jointly and severally,
upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for, all of the
Administrative Agent's reasonable internal and external audit, legal, appraisal,
valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation
expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every
type and nature (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of
the Administrative Agent's counsel, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, local legal

investigation of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the
preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document or the Administrative
Agent's periodic audits of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may
be, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this
Agreement (including the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition
set forth in Article III (Conditions To Loans And Letters Of Credit), any Loan

therewith, or the making of the Loans hereunder, (iii) the creation, perfection
or protection of the Liens under any Loan Document (including any reasonable

(iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including

Administrative Agent's rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation

(viii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to

          (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower further agrees, jointly and
severally, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication
Agents, the Arrangers, and each of the Lenders and Issuers upon demand for all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (excluding any taxes), including reasonable
attorneys' fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of
settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents,
the Arrangers, such Lenders or Issuers in connection with any of the following:
(i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or
exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an
Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of
the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a "work-out" or in
any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or

any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or
otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

          Section 11.4 Indemnities

          (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees to jointly and severally
indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents,
the Arrangers, the Lenders and each Issuer and each of their respective
Affiliates, and each of the directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents,
representatives, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the
foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or

                                      111

<PAGE>

and expenses of any kind or nature (including fees, disbursements and expenses
of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee but excluding any taxes)
that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in
connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding,
whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any
such Indemnitee or any of its directors, security holders or creditors or any
such Indemnitee, director, security holder or creditor is a party thereto,
whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal,
state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law
or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or
otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit, or any act, event or
transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of
the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or in connection with any
investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the
"Indemnified Matters"); provided, however, that neither Holdings nor the
Borrower shall have any obligation under this Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee with
respect to any Indemnified Matter caused by or resulting primarily from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.
Without limiting the foregoing, "Indemnified Matters" include (i) all
Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past,
present or future operations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries involving
any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal
property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from
any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous
real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any
Remedial Action concerning Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs
or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any

Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, (49 U.S.C. (S) 9601 et seq.) and
applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such
matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a
mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those
matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent
(x) incurred following foreclosure by the Administrative Agent, the
Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders or any Issuer, or the
Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders or
any Issuer having become the successor in interest to Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent,
the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders or such Issuer or any
agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the
Arrangers, the Lenders or such Issuer.

          (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower shall, jointly and severally,
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers,
the Lenders and each Issuer for, and hold the Administrative Agent, the
Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders and each Issuer harmless from
and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other
compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents,
the Arrangers, the Lenders and each Issuer for any broker, finder or consultant
with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf
of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

                                      112

<PAGE>

          (c) Each of Holdings and the Borrower, at the request of any
Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against any investigation,
litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action and each of Holdings
and/or the Borrower, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with
legal counsel of the Borrower's choice. In the event that such Indemnitee
requests Holdings or the Borrower to defend against such investigation,
litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, Holdings and/or the
Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have
legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense. No action taken by
legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such
investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall
vitiate or in any way impair Holdings' or the Borrower's obligation and duty
hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

          (d) Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees that any indemnification
or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement
(including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i)
survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any
Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.

          Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability

          (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall
have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or
any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders
or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and
in the other Loan Documents and Related Documents, except for direct damages (as
opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including,
without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings))
determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnitee's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives, releases
and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon
any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages,
whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its
favor.

          (b) In no event shall any Agent Affiliate have any liability to any
Loan Party, Lender, Issuer or any other Person for damages of any kind,
including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages,
losses or expenses (whether in tort or contract or otherwise) arising out of any
Loan Party or any Agent Affiliate's transmission of Approved Electronic
Communications through the Internet or any use of the Approved Electronic
Platform, except to the extent such liability of any Agent Affiliate is found in
a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted primarily form such Agent Affiliate's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

          Section 11.6 Right of Set-off

          Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default
each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its
Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and
all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
even though such Obligations

                                      113

<PAGE>

may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any
such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6
are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of
set-off) that such Lender may have.

          Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

          (a) If any Lender (directly or through an Affiliate thereof) obtains
any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right
of set-off (including pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off) or otherwise)
of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or
amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) or Section 11.4
(Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.13 (Special Provisions
Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy) or Section
2.15 (Taxes) or otherwise receives any Collateral or any "Proceeds" (as defined
in the Pledge and Security Agreement) of Collateral (other than payments
pursuant to Section 2.13 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans),
Section 2.14 (Capital Adequacy) or Section 2.15 (Taxes) (in each case, whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or
otherwise (including pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off)) in excess of
its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the
Lenders, such Lender (a "Purchasing Lender") shall forthwith purchase from the
other Lenders (each, a "Selling Lender") such participations in their Loans or
other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share
the excess payment ratably with each of them. If all or any portion of any
payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such
Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and
such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to
the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling
Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
Selling Lender's required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so
