Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000. At the time that each ABR
Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that
is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided

                                                                              30

receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to
each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's Applicable
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above,
to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender,
such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving
Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with
respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so
received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to
this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall

received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of
the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline
Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly
remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the
Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to
the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this
paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The
purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall
not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the

Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the

Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank's
standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be
deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the aggregate LC Exposure will not exceed
$20,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the

            (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior

annual basis so long as any such Letter of Credit expires at or prior to the

            (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender
hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit
equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available
to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of
the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable
Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made
by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment
required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges
and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this
paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance
of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. On the Effective Date and without further action by any party
hereto, each Issuing Bank that has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall be
deemed to have granted to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall
be deemed to have acquired from such Issuing Bank, a participation in each such
Existing Letter of Credit in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph.

                                                                              32

            (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement
in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC
Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that
such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such
LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if
such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such
date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business
Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day
immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such
notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that,
if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000 the Borrower may, subject to
the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section
2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or
Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the
Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails
to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from
the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof.
Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from
the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to
Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it
from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative
Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing
Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to
this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders
and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a
Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing
Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a
Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not
relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

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

<PAGE>

                                                                              33

provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder. Neither
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the applicable Issuing Bank, nor any
of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason
of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any
payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of
such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse
such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct
damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank's failure to
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto
expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised
care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to
documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance
with the terms of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank may, in its sole
discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

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

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

<PAGE>

                                                                              34

any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such
Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such
payment.

            (i) Addition and Replacement of Issuing Banks. An Issuing Bank may
be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the replaced
Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank, and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any
such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall
become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account
of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the
effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall
have all the rights and obligations of the applicable Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii)
references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous
Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing
Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. A
Revolving Lender may become an additional Issuing Bank hereunder if designated
by the Borrower pursuant to a written agreement between the Borrower and such
Revolving Lender and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent. The
administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional
Issuing Banks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not designated
any Revolving Lender as an Issuing Bank if, after giving effect thereto, there
would be more than four issuing banks.

            (j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default described in
clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII shall occur and be continuing or
(ii) the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated as a result of the
occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, on the Business Day that the
Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders
(or, in the case of paragraph (ii), the Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) have demanded the
deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall
deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal
to the total LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall
become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and
payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
Article VII. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement, and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all funds and investments
from time to time in such account to secure the payment and performance of the
Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any
interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments,
which investments shall be made

<PAGE>

                                                                              35

at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the
Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or
profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in
such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the
Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and,
to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the Borrower in respect of the LC Exposure at such
time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the
consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of
the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default
described above, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be
returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all such Events of
Default have been cured or waived or the Obligations have been paid in full and
the Letters of Credit have terminated or expired and all Commitments have
terminated or expired.

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

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

            SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and
Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing

<PAGE>

                                                                              36

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

            (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable

<PAGE>

                                                                              37

thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of
such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing
of one month's duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if any
Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII shall
occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the
Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of
Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or
continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

            SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless
previously terminated, (i) the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving
Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

            (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time
reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the
Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11,
the sum of the aggregate Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate
Revolving Commitments.

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

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

<PAGE>

                                                                              38

that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay
all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was
requested.

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

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

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

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

            SECTION 2.10. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) Subject to adjustment
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay Tranche A
Term Borrowings on each date set forth below in the aggregate principal amount
set forth opposite such date:

            (b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due
and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

            (c) Any prepayment of a Term Borrowing, including any mandatory
prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11, shall be applied to reduce ratably the
subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to
this Section.

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

            SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in
part, subject to the requirements of this Section.

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

            (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are
received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any
Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within two Business Days after such Net
Proceeds are received, prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to
(i) 100% of such Net Proceeds, if the Leverage Ratio on the date of such receipt
is equal to or greater than .75 to 1.00, or (ii) 50% of such Net Proceeds, if
the Leverage Ratio on the date of such receipt is less than .75 to 1.00;
provided that, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries either (x) intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a
portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 210 days after receipt of
such Net Proceeds, to acquire real property, equipment or other tangible assets
and intangible assets associated with such acquisition to be used in the
business of the Borrower and/or the Subsidiaries or to effect a Permitted
Acquisition in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) desire to
have such Net Proceeds (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate)
credited against the amount of Acquisition Consideration for a Permitted
Acquisition actually paid during the period of 90 days immediately preceding the
date of receipt of such Net Proceeds (such amount of Net Proceeds not to exceed
the amount of such Acquisition Consideration paid during such period and not
previously subject to a credit hereunder) and, in each case, certifying that no
Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in

<PAGE>

                                                                              40

respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such
certificate, if applicable) except, in the case of Net Proceeds specified
pursuant to clause (x) above, to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom
that have not been so applied by the end of such 210-day period, at which time a
prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to 100% or 50%, as the case may
be, of such Net Proceeds from such event that have not been so applied.

            (d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a
notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice
of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08,
then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is
revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such
notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided
in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a
mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to
the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by
accrued interest unpaid to the extent required by Section 2.13.

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

                                                                              41

            (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its
participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable
Margin then in effect with respect to interest on Eurodollar Revolving Loans, on
the daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and
including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which
such Lender's Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender
ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank a
fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum separately agreed to by the
Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the outstanding amount of Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Effective
Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving
Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any outstanding Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as the applicable Issuing Bank's
standard and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.
Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day
of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the
third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to
occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on
the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing
after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on
written demand. Any other fees payable to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant
to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after written demand. All
participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day).

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

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

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

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

            (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest
on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount

<PAGE>

                                                                              42

shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal
to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR
Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, from the date
overdue until such amount is paid.

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

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

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

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

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

            SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

<PAGE>

                                                                              43

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

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

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

            (b) If any Lender or an Issuing Bank determines that any Change in
Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital
of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters
of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such
Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's
policies and the policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding
company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower
will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank
or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

            (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth (i)
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank
or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section and (ii) that is such Lender's or Issuing Bank's customary
practice, from and after the date of such certificate, to charge its borrowers
for such increased costs incurred by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

            (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or an Issuing Bank to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing
Bank pursuant to

<PAGE>

                                                                              44

this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days
prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions and of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

            SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the
payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any
notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be
revoked under Section 2.08 or Section 2.11(d) and is revoked in accordance
therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall
compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such
event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any
Lender shall be deemed to equal an amount determined by such Lender to be the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date
of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or,
in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that
would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of
such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

            SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of
any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.17) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

<PAGE>

                                                                              45

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

            (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the applicable Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by
the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section 2.17) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank,
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

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

            (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay
over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount
paid over to the Borrower (plus any interest imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event
the

<PAGE>

                                                                              46

Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the
Borrower or any other Person.

            SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees
or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15,
2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or
under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is
expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time), on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New
York, New York, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant
to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to
the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any
such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under
any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case
of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the
period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in
dollars.

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

            (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so
that the

<PAGE>

                                                                              47

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

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

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

            SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the

<PAGE>

                                                                              48

future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous in any material respect to
such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

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

                                   ARTICLE III

                         Representations and Warranties

            The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

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

                                                                              49

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

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

            SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a)
The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance
sheet and statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows (i) as
of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, reported on by Deloitte &
Touche LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and (ii) as of and
for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and the portion of the fiscal
year then ended, certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and
results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP,
subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case
of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

            (b) Except as set forth in the Borrower's filings with the SEC
publicly available prior to December 15, 2004 (the "SEC Documents") or in the
Information Memorandum and except for Disclosed Matters, since December 31,
2003, there has been no event, condition or circumstance that has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

            SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Except as set forth in item 11 of the
Disclosed Matters, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good title to,
or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to
its business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its
ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such
properties for their intended purposes.

                                                                              50

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

            SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) Except as
set forth in the SEC Documents, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or
before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an
adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse
Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan
Documents or the Transactions.

            (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to
other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any
Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or
other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to
any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any claim with
respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any
Environmental Liability.

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

            SECTION 3.08. Investment and Holding Company Status. Neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment company" as defined
in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a
"holding company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

            SECTION 3.09. Taxes. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has
timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have
been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been
paid by it, except (a) any Taxes that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as
applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent
that the failure to do so has not had and could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                                                                              51

            SECTION 3.10. ERISA. (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is
reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA
Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used
for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as
of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts,
exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such
Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all Plans
(based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial
statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair
market value of the assets of all such Plans.

            (b) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has established or
currently participates in, contributes to or assumes any liability in respect of
an "occupational pension scheme" (as defined in section 1 of the Pension Schemes
Act 1993 (UK)) other than a "money purchase scheme" (as defined in section
181(1) of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 (UK)).

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

            SECTION 3.12. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 sets forth the name of,
and the ownership interest of the Borrower in, each Subsidiary of the Borrower
and identifies each Material Domestic Subsidiary, each Significant Foreign
Subsidiary and each Foreign Subsidiary, in each case as of the Effective Date.

            SECTION 3.13. Insurance. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description of
all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as
of the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, all premiums in respect of such
insurance have been paid. Such insurance is in full force and effect and of the
type that is customary for businesses of the character, nature and size of the
Borrower.

            SECTION 3.14. Labor Matters. As of the Effective Date, there are no
strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. The hours worked by and
payments made to employees of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal,
state, local or foreign law dealing

<PAGE>

                                                                              52

with such matters. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to
any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union
under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any
Subsidiary is bound.

            SECTION 3.15. Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the
Transactions to occur on the Effective Date and immediately following the making
of each Loan made on the Effective Date and after giving effect to the
application of the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the fair value of the assets of
the Borrower and the other Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, at a fair
valuation, will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower
and the other Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will be greater than the
amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and
other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower and the other
Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with
which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now
conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Effective Date.

            SECTION 3.16. Security Interests. (a) The Collateral Agreement is
effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) a valid and
enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined therein) and the
proceeds thereof and (i) when the Collateral (as defined therein) constituting
certificated securities (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) is delivered
to the Collateral Agent thereunder together with instruments of transfer duly
endorsed in blank, the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein will
constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title
and interest of the pledgors in such Collateral, prior and superior in right to
any other Person (it being understood that no representation is made under this
clause (i) as to (A) any such Collateral that is subject to a Foreign Pledge
Agreement or (B) the perfection or priority of any Lien to the extent that such
perfection or priority is determined under the law of a jurisdiction outside the
United States, which are covered by paragraph (b) below), and (ii) when
financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified in
the Perfection Certificate, the security interest of the Collateral Agent will
constitute a fully perfected Lien on and security interest in all right, title
and interest of the Grantors (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) in the
remaining Collateral (as defined therein) and the proceeds thereof to the extent
perfection can be obtained by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements, prior and superior to the rights of any other Person.

            (b) After execution and delivery thereof and the taking of the
actions specified for perfection therein, each Foreign Pledge Agreement will be
effective under applicable law to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and enforceable security
interest in the Collateral subject thereto, and will constitute a fully
perfected Lien on and security interest in all right, title and

<PAGE>

                                                                              53

interest of the Loan Parties in the collateral subject thereto, prior and
superior to the rights of any other Person.

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

            SECTION 3.17. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of
the Loans and will request the issuance of Letters of Credit only for the
purposes set forth in Section 5.10.

            SECTION 3.18. Federal Reserve Regulation. No part of the proceeds of
any of the Loans will be used for any purpose which violates or is inconsistent
with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board. None of Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
"purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation
U. As of the Effective Date, no more than 25% of the value of the assets of the
Borrower, or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, which are
subject to the restrictions contained in Article VI would constitute Margin
Stock. If the proceeds of any Loans are to be used in a manner which would cause
such Loans to be classified as "purpose credits" under Regulation U, then at the
time of the making of such Loans and at the time of the making of each Loan
thereafter (after applying the proceeds of all Loans then being or theretofore
made), no more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower, or of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, which are subject to the
restrictions contained in Article VI shall constitute Margin Stock.

                                   ARTICLE IV

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and

            SECTION 4.02. Each Credit Event. The obligation of each Lender to

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            The Administrative Agent

            Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably
appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In
addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the United States, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to
the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security
Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender's or Issuing
Bank's behalf.

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

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

                                                                              73

forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

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

            Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor to the
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower.
Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the
Borrower's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor,
such successor 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
hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent's
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

            Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to

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

            The banks (or Affiliates thereof) identified in this Agreement as a
"documentation agent" or "syndication agent" shall not have any right, power,
liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those
applicable to all banks herein.

            Each Lender acknowledges that in no event shall any Obligations in
respect of any Hedging Agreement, cash management services or "Card Programs"
(as defined in the Collateral Agreement), in each case provided by an Affiliate
of a Lender, constitute Obligations for the purpose of any Security Document
governed by the laws of The United Kingdom unless the documents evidencing such
Hedging Agreement, cash management services or Card Programs, as applicable,
contain the following language:

               "We [name of hedging counterparty, cash management provider or
         Card Programs provider] hereby confirm that by entering into this
         [insert name of contract], we intend to be party to the Trust Agreement
         (the "Trust Agreement") dated February 16, 2005, between, amongst
         others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Security Trustee (the "Security
         Trustee"), and the Secured Parties named therein, and (a) undertake to
         perform all the obligations expressed in the Trust Agreement to be
         assumed by a Secured Party, and (b) agree that we shall be bound by all
         the provisions of the Trust Agreement, as if we had been an original
         party thereto. We further agree that the Security Trustee may rely upon
         our undertaking and agreement given herein."

Bank, N.A., 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017, Attention of Mr. Jon
Goplerud (Telecopy No. (212) 534-3078);

            (c) if to any Issuing Bank, to it at the address most recently
specified by it in a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower;

            (d) if to the Swingline Lender, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Loan
and Agency Services Group, 1111 Fannin, 10th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002,
Attention of Denise M. Ramon (Telecopy No. (713) 750-2938) with a copy to
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017, Attention
of Mr. Jon Goplerud (Telecopy No. (212) 534-3078); and

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

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

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

            (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any
provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the
case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any
other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are
parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided
that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without
the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan
or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender

affected thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date
of payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10, or the
required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the
payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written
consent of each affected Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this
Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of "Required Lenders" or
any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights
thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without
the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case
may be), (vi) release any Subsidiary Loan Party from its Guarantee under the
Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Collateral Agreement),
or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent
of each Lender, (vii) release all or any substantial part of the Collateral from
the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender,
except in connection with the occurrence of the Collateral Release Date or the
sale of such Collateral in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents, or
(viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms
adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans
of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without
the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding
Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class; provided further that (a)
no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties
of the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (b) any waiver, amendment or modification
of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this
Agreement of one Class of Lenders (but not any other Class of Lenders) may be
effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower
and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would
be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were
the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time and (c) no consent of the
Lenders will be required for any amendment to the Loan Documents that effects
the elimination of Liens on Collateral or requirements therefor in connection
with the occurrence of the Collateral Release Event. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in
writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the
Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby,
the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such
agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided
for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at
the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto
receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a replacement Lender in
accordance with Section 9.04) in full of the principal of and interest accrued
on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its
account under this Agreement.

            SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower
shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel (including foreign counsel retained in connection
with Foreign Pledge Agreements) in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein (including after the Effective Date), the
preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Banks in connection
with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or
Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

            (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Banks and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any
Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder
or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated
hereby, (ii) any Loan, Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual
or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.

            (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required
to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, as the case

<PAGE>

                                                                              78

may be, such Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender's "pro
rata share" shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate
Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

            (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall
not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on
any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan, Letter of Credit or the use of
the proceeds thereof.

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

            SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and
void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their successors and
assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

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

                  (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower
            shall be required for (1) an assignment of any Term Loan to a
            Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund, (2) an
            assignment of a Revolving Commitment to a Revolving Lender or (3) if
            an Event of Default under paragraph (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article
            VII has occurred and is continuing, any such assignment to any other
            assignee; and

                  (B) the Administrative Agent and each Principal Issuing Bank,
            provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent or any
            Principal

<PAGE>

                                                                              79

            Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment of any Term Loan to
            a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

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

                  (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an
            Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
            entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or
            Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the
            assigning Lender subject to each such assignment shall not be less
            than $5,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Commitment or $1,000,000
            in all other cases, unless each of the Borrower and the
            Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that no such
            consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default
            under paragraph (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and
            is continuing:

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

                  (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver
            to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together
            with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>

                                                                              80

Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (e) of this Section.

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

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

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

<PAGE>

                                                                              81

be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a
Lender.

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

            (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations
of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of
a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

            SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, the Commitment Letter and any separate letter
agreements with respect to fees or expense reimbursements payable to the
Administrative Agent or any arranger of the credit facilities contemplated
hereby constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided

<PAGE>

                                                                              82

in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and
assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

<PAGE>

                                                                              83

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

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

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

agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (h) with
the prior written consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section.
For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received
from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such
information that is publicly available. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as a
commercially prudent Person would accord to its own confidential information.

            SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest
on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged,
taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

            SECTION 9.14. Patriot Act. The Lenders hereby notify the Borrower
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Patriot Act"), they may be
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow each Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements
of the Patriot Act and is effective for each Lender.

            SECTION 9.15. Collateral Release Event. Upon the occurrence of the
Collateral Release Event, the Liens on the Collateral under the Security
Documents will automatically be released and terminated. Thereafter, the
Administrative Agent shall, in each case, at the cost and expense of the
Borrower, execute such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request
(including the amendment to the Collateral Agreement contemplated by the
definition of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement) to evidence and confirm
such release and termination and the termination of the Foreign Pledge
Agreements and will promptly cause any certificates evidencing pledged
securities in its possession to be redelivered to the Borrower. The release of
the Liens under the Security Documents will not affect the Guarantees of the
Subsidiary Loan Parties under the Security Documents, which will remain in full
force and effect.

provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not at any time prior to the

the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices, any Loan
Party to advance any Indebtedness to or make any other Investment in or transfer
any asset to Symbolease, Inc., (b) any increase in the outstanding amount under
