3. Lenders' Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in
reliance upon the Representations and Warranties, Lenders make the following
commitments to Borrower:

3.1. Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments. Subject to the applicable
limitations in Section 3.2 and elsewhere herein, each Lender commits to
make available to Domestic Borrower, from the Effective Date to the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, such Lender's prorata share of an Aggregate
Revolving Loan Commitment in the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $165,000,000
(the "Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment") by funding such Lender's
prorata share (as listed on Exhibit 3 hereto) of Revolving Loan Advances
denominated in Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Deutsche Marks and made from
time to time by Administrative Agent as provided herein. Also subject to
the applicable limitations in Section 3.2 and elsewhere herein, each Lender
commits to make available to Foreign Borrowers such Lender's prorata share
of an Aggregate Offshore Currency Revolving Loan Commitment in the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of $80,000,000 (the "Aggregate Offshore Currency
Revolving Loan Commitment") by funding such Lender's prorata share (as
listed on Exhibit 3 hereto) of Revolving Loan Advances denominated in
Pounds Sterling (in the case of the UK Borrower) or Deutsche Marks (in the
case of the German Borrower) and made from time to time by Administrative
Agent as provided herein.

3.2. Limitations on Revolving Loan Advances.

3.2.1. Aggregate Limit of All Revolving Loan Advances. No Revolving
Loan Advance will be made, whether denominated in Dollars or an
Offshore Currency, which would result in the Dollar Equivalent Amount
of the Aggregate Revolving Loan exceeding the Maximum Available
Amount. No Revolving Loan Advance which is a Eurodollar Advance will
be made in a Dollar Equivalent Amount less than a whole multiple of
$2,000,000, and no Revolving Loan Advance which is a Base Rate
Advance will be made in a Dollar Equivalent Amount less than a whole
multiple of $500,000. The "Maximum Available Amount" on any date
shall be equal to (i) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Aggregate
Revolving Loan Commitment on such date, minus (ii) (a) the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure on such date
(except to the extent that such Revolving Loan Advance will be used
immediately to reimburse Letter of Credit Issuer for unreimbursed
draws on a Letter of Credit as required herein) and (b) the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of the Swingline Loan.

3.2.2. Aggregate Limit of Revolving Loan Advances to Foreign
Borrowers. No Revolving Loan Advance will be made to a Foreign
Borrower which would result in the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the
Foreign Revolving Loans, plus the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the
portion of the Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Letters of
Credit

issued for the account of Foreign Borrowers, exceeding the Aggregate
Offshore Currency Revolving Loan Commitment.

3.2.3. Aggregate Limit of Revolving Loan Advances to UK Borrower.
No Revolving Loan Advance will be made to UK Borrower which would
result in the Revolving Loans to UK Borrower, plus the portion of the
Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued
for the account of UK Borrower, exceeding at any time the greater of
(i) (pound)40,000,000 or (ii) an amount in Pounds Sterling equal to
ten times EBITDA (as defined in Section 15.1) of UK Borrower in the
fiscal year of UK Borrower most recently ended prior to such time.

3.2.4. Aggregate Limit of Revolving Loan Advances to German
Borrowers. No Revolving Loan Advance will be made to German Borrower
which would result in the Revolving Loans to German Borrower, plus
the portion of the Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Letters
of Credit issued for the account of German Borrower, exceeding at any
time the greater of (ii) DM20,000,000 or (ii) an amount in Deutsche
Marks equal to ten times EBITDA (as defined in Section 15.1) of
German Borrower in the fiscal year of German Borrower most recently
ended prior to such time.

3.2.5. Other Limitations. No Revolving Loan Advance will be made on
or after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, but Lenders may, in their
absolute discretion, fund such Revolving Loan Advances and shall not
be deemed by doing so to have increased the Maximum Available Amount
and shall not be obligated to make any such Revolving Loan Advance
thereafter. If an Event of Default has occurred that has not been
waived by Required Lenders, the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment
may be canceled as provided in Section 16.2. Subject to the terms,
conditions and limitations contained herein, Domestic Borrower may
obtain Revolving Advances in any Offshore Currency, but UK Borrower
may only obtain Revolving Advances in Pounds Sterling and German
Borrower may only obtain Revolving Advances in Deutsche Marks.

3.3. Voluntary Reductions in Commitments. Domestic Borrower may reduce the
amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in whole multiples of
$500,000 at any time and from time to time, and may reduce the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of the Aggregate Offshore Currency Revolving Loan
Commitment in whole multiples of $500,000, but only if (i) Borrower gives
Administrative Agent written notice of Borrower's intention to make such
reduction at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of the
reduction, and (ii) Borrower makes on the effective date of the reduction
such payment in the Applicable Currency as is required to reduce the
Aggregate Revolving Loan to an amount equal to the reduced amount of the
Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or Aggregate Offshore Currency
Revolving Loan Commitment, as applicable. Any such reduction of the amount
of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanent. Each
Lender's initial Revolving Loan Commitment and initial Offshore Currency
Revolving Loan Commitment is its prorata share of the Aggregate Revolving
Loan Commitment and Aggregate Offshore Currency Revolving Loan Commitment,
respectively. Upon any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment
or Aggregate Offshore Currency Revolving Loan Commitment, each Lender's
Revolving Loan Commitment and Offshore Currency Revolving Loan Commitment,
respectively, will automatically reduce by such

Lender's prorata share of the applicable reduction. Reductions in the
Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment will reduce the Aggregate Offshore
Currency Revolving Loan Commitment only to the extent that Borrower
designates in its notice of the reduction; except that once the Aggregate
Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced to the same amount as the Aggregate
Offshore Currency Revolving Loan Commitment, then all further reductions in
the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall reduce the Aggregate Offshore
Currency Revolving Loan Commitment by the same amount.

3.4. Revolving Notes. The obligation of Domestic Borrower to repay each
Lender's Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by one promissory note, payable
to the order of such Lender in a maximum principal amount denominated in
Dollars equal to its prorata share of the Aggregate Revolving Loan
Commitment, and each being otherwise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
3.4 satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Lenders. The obligation of
UK Borrower to repay each Lender's UK Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by
a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender in a maximum
principal amount denominated in Pounds Sterling having a Dollar Equivalent
Amount equal to its prorata share of $80,000,000. The obligation of German
Borrower to repay each Lender's German Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by
a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender in a maximum
principal amount denominated in Deutsche Marks having a Dollar Equivalent
Amount equal to its prorata share of $80,000,000.

3.5. Swingline.

3.5.1. Swingline Advances. In order to reduce the frequency of
fundings of Revolving Loan Advances by Lenders, but subject to the
limitations in Section 3.5.2 and elsewhere herein, Administrative
Agent may make Swingline Advances as provided herein from time to
time from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.
Subject to the limitations in Section 3.5.2 and elsewhere herein,
Swingline Advances may be made in Pounds Sterling to UK Borrower and
Deutsche Marks to German Borrower, and Dollars or any Offshore
Currency to Domestic Borrower, and payments and prepayments that are
applied to reduce the Swingline Loan may be re-advanced as Swingline
Advances as provided herein. Whether a Swingline Advance is made
in any particular instance is within the absolute discretion of
Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent may cease making
Swingline Advances altogether at any time, including such time as
Administrative Agent resigns as such as provided in Section 17.9,
in its absolute discretion.

3.5.2. Limitations on Swingline Advances. No Swingline Advance will
be made on or after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, no Swingline
Advance will be made which would result in the Dollar Equivalent
Amount of the Swingline Loan exceeding the Maximum Swingline Amount,
and no Swingline Advance will be made in a Dollar Equivalent Amount
less than $250,000 for Advances denominated in an Offshore Currency
and $250,000 for Advances denominated in Dollars. Administrative
Agent may, however, in its absolute discretion make any such
Swingline Advances, but shall not be deemed by doing so to have
increased the Maximum Swingline Amount or reduced the minimum amount
for Swingline Advances and shall not be obligated to make any such
Swingline Advance thereafter. The "Maximum Swingline Amount" on any
date

for any Swingline Advance shall be a Dollar Equivalent Amount equal
to the lesser of (i) $10,000,000 minus the Letter of Credit
Exposure with respect to all outstanding Swingline Letters of Credit
and (ii) an amount equal to the Maximum Available Amount as of such
date minus the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Aggregate Revolving
Loan immediately prior to the making of such Swingline Advance.

3.5.3. Swingline Notes. The obligation of Borrower to repay the
Swingline Loan shall be evidenced by three promissory notes payable
to the order of Administrative Agent, one being in the maximum
principal amount of $10,000,000, one being in a maximum principal
amount denominated in Pounds Sterling having a Dollar Equivalent
Amount of $10,000,000, one being in a maximum principal amount
denominated in Deutsche Marks having a Dollar Equivalent Amount of
$10,000,000, and each being otherwise in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 3.5.3 satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

3.6. Canadian Term Commitment.

3.6.1. Continuation of Canadian Term Loan. Each Lender commits to
continue and extend the currently outstanding term loan to the
Canadian Borrowers in the amount of its share, as listed on Exhibit 3
hereto, of $10,000,000, which is the current outstanding principal
balance of such term loan. Amounts applied to reduce the Aggregate
Canadian Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

3.6.2. Canadian Term Notes. The obligation of Canadian Borrowers to
repay each Lender's share of the Aggregate Canadian Term Loan shall
be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender
in a principal amount equal to such Lender's share of the Aggregate
Canadian Term Loan and otherwise in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 3.6.2.

3.7. Letter of Credit Commitment. NationsBank commits to issue standby
letters of credit from time to time from the Effective Date to the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, but only in connection with transactions
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall designate
in each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit whether such Letter of
Credit is to be a Swingline Letter of Credit or a Revolver Letter of
Credit. If such Letter of Credit is requested to be a Revolver Letter of
Credit, it will not be issued if (i) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the
Letter of Credit Exposure will as a result of such issuance exceed the
lesser of (a) $15,000,000 and (b) any excess of the Maximum Available
Amount over the Aggregate Revolving Loan, or (ii) the Dollar Equivalent
Amount of the initial face amount of such Letter of Credit would be less
than the minimum amount permitted for a Revolving Loan Advance denominated
in the same Applicable Currency. If such Letter of Credit is requested to
be a Swingline Letter of Credit, it will not be issued if (i) the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to all
outstanding Swingline Letters of Credit will as a result of such issuance
exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Swingline Amount and (b) any excess of
the Maximum Swingline Amount over the Swingline Loan, or (ii) the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of the initial face amount of such Letter of Credit would
be less than $25,000. In no event will a Letter of Credit denominated in an
Offshore Currency be issued if the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Letter
of Credit Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit will, when added
to the

Dollar Equivalent Amount of all Offshore Currency Loans, exceed the
Aggregate Offshore Currency Revolving Loan Commitment. Letters of Credit
issued for the account of Domestic Borrower may be denominated in any
Applicable Currency. Letters of Credit issued for the account of UK
Borrower may be denominated only in Pounds Sterling. Letters of Credit
issued for the account of German Borrower may be denominated only in
Deutsche Marks. The expiration date of any Letter of Credit will be a
Business Day that is not more than one year after its issuance date and is
not later than the fifth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date; provided, however, that the expiration date for a Letter of Credit
may be later than the Revolving Loan Maturity Date if Letter of Credit
Issuer and Required Lenders consent to such issuance and Borrower provides
to Letter of Credit Issuer cash collateral satisfactory to Letter of Credit
Issuer and Required Lenders as security for Borrower's obligation to
reimburse Letter of Credit Issuer for all draws thereunder. Immediately
upon the issuance by Letter of Credit Issuer of a Revolver Letter of Credit
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, but not in
the case of any Swingline Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Issuer shall
be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender, and such other
Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and received from Letter of Credit
Issuer, a prorata undivided interest and participation in such Revolver
Letter of Credit, the reimbursement obligation of Borrower with respect
thereto, and any guaranty thereof or collateral therefor. Such other
Lender's prorata undivided interest shall be the same as its prorata share
of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

4. Interest; Yield Protection.

4.1. Interest on Draws on Letters of Credit. The unreimbursed amount of
each draw on a Letter of Credit shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the then applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Rate.

4.2. Interest on Loans.

4.2.1. Aggregate Revolving Loan and Swingline Loan. Borrower may,
as provided and subject to the limitations in Section 7, designate
the whole of an Advance or any part of an Advance to be either a Base
Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Advance; provided that a Swingline
Advance that is denominated in an Offshore Currency shall always be
designated as a Eurodollar Advance. Each Base Rate Advance when made
will become a Base Rate Loan, which shall bear interest at the
Adjusted Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance when made will become a
Eurodollar Loan, which shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar
Rate. No Offshore Currency Loan may bear interest at the Adjusted
Base Rate.

4.2.2. Aggregate Canadian Term Loan. Canadian Borrowers hereby
acknowledge that the Aggregate Canadian Term Loan is currently a
Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of two months ending on
September 1, 1997, and bears interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate
from the Effective Date. When the current Interest Period expires,
the Aggregate Canadian Term Loan or any part thereof may be continued
as a Eurodollar Loan or converted to a Base Rate Loan as provided
in Section 4.4.

4.3. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and Adjusted Base Rate. The "Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate" for any Eurodollar Loan is the Eurodollar Rate plus the
applicable Eurodollar Increment, and the "Adjusted Base Rate" for any Base
Rate Loan shall be the Prime Rate plus the applicable Base Rate Increment,
as prescribed for the applicable Level in the following table:

----- -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ---------- ---------
Level Ratio of Funded Debt S&P's Rating of Xxxxx'x Rating of Eurodollar Base Rate
to EBITDA Domestic Domestic Increment Increment
Borrower's Senior Borrower's Senior
Unsecured Unsecured
Corporate Debt Corporate Debt
----- -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ---------- ---------

I Equal to or greater Less than BB Less than Ba2 1.125% 0%
than 2.5 to 1.0
----- -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ---------- ---------
II Equal to or greater
than 1.5 to 1.0 but BB Ba2 0.875% 0%
less than 2.5
to 1.0
----- -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ---------- ---------
III Equal to or greater
than 0.5 to 1.0 but BB+ Ba1 0.625% 0%
less than 1.5
to 1.0
----- -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ---------- ---------
IV Less than 0.5 BBB- Baa3 0.450% 0%
to 1.0
----- -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ---------- ---------
V N/A BBB Baa2 0.350% 0%
----- -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ---------- ---------

The applicable Level shall be the numbered Level in the above table that
corresponds to the higher of (i) the Level corresponding to the ratio of
Domestic Borrower's Funded Debt to EBITDA and (ii) the Level corresponding
to the higher of the ratings categories of Borrower's unsecured corporate
debt by S&P and Xxxxx'x (except that in any case when such ratings differ
by more than one Level in the above table, the Level corresponding to the
rating that is one category below the higher Level of the two ratings shall
be used). The applicable Level and the applicable Eurodollar Increment and
Base Rate Increment shall first be determined by Administrative Agent based
upon the ratings of Borrower's unsecured corporate debt by S&P and Xxxxx'x
on the Effective Date and the ratio of Borrower's Funded Debt to EBITDA and
as reflected in Borrower's Initial Financial Statements for the fiscal
quarter of Borrower ended just prior to the Effective Date and shall be
become applicable on the Effective Date. Thereafter, the applicable Level
and the applicable Eurodollar Increment and Base Rate Increment shall be
re-determined by Administrative Agent promptly after each delivery by
Borrower to Administrative Agent of Borrower's Financial Statements as
required in Section 13.13.2 and as of the date of any change in the ratings
of Domestic Borrower's unsecured corporate debt by S&P or Xxxxx'x and will
become applicable on the tenth day following the day when Domestic Borrower
delivers such Financial Statements to Administrative Agent or the day
following such rating change, as applicable. If, however, Domestic Borrower
does not deliver its quarterly Financial Statements to Administrative Agent
within the period required by Section 13.13.2 and such failure continues
for two Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent, the Base Rate
Increment and Eurodollar Increment corresponding to the Level that is one
lower than the level which had been applicable shall apply retroactively
from the first day after such period and shall continue to apply until
Domestic Borrower delivers such Financial Statements to Administrative
Agent, and Borrower shall pay any consequent shortage in its interest
payments upon demand by Administrative Agent. In the above table, the
symbol "greater than" means "greater than", the symbol "less than" means
"less than", and the symbol "equal to or greater than" means "equal to or
greater than."

The Eurodollar Rate for each Eurodollar Loan shall be determined by
Administrative Agent before the beginning of the applicable Interest Period
and shall apply throughout such Interest Period. The "Eurodollar Rate"
shall be, for the applicable Interest Period therefor, the interest rate
per annum equal to the quotient of

(i) the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the
nearest 1/100 of 1%), as determined by Administrative Agent
appearing, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan denominated in Dollars,
on Dow Xxxxx Markets Page 3750 (or any successor page) as the London
interbank offered rate for deposits in Dollars, and in the case of a
Eurodollar Loan denominated in an Offshore Currency, the rate per
annum appearing on British Banking Association Interest Settlement
Rate, Page FRBD (or any successor page) as the London interbank
offered rate for deposits in the Applicable Currency, at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the
first day of such Interest Period for a term comparable to such
Interest Period. If for any reason such rate for a Eurodollar Loan
denominated in dollars is not available, the term "Eurodollar Rate"
shall mean, for any Eurodollar Loan for any Interest Period therefor,
the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest
1/100 of 1%) appearing on Reuters Screen LIBO Page as the London
interbank offered rate for deposits in Dollars at approximately 11:00
a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such
Interest Period for a term comparable to such Interest Period;
provided, however, if more than one rate is specified on Reuters
Screen LIBO Page, the applicable rate shall be the arithmetic mean of
all such rates (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100
of 1%),

divided by

(ii) an amount equal to one minus the maximum rate (expressed as a
decimal number) at which reserves (including, without limitation, any
marginal, special, supplemental, or emergency reserves) are required
to be maintained under regulations issued from time to time by the
FRB or any other Governmental Authority to which any Lender is
subject (or any successor) against, including, in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, "Eurocurrency liabilities" (as such term is used in
Regulation D). Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the
reserve requirement shall reflect any other reserves required to be
maintained by any Lender with respect to any category of liabilities
which includes deposits by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate is
to be determined, or any category of extensions of credit or other
assets which include Eurodollar Loans. (The entire amount of a Euro-
dollar Loan shall be deemed to constitute a Eurocurrency liability
and as such shall be deemed to be subject to such reserve require-
ments without benefit of credits for proration, exceptions or
set-offs which may be available from time to time to any Lender under
Regulation D.) The Eurodollar Rate shall be adjusted automatically
on and as of the effective date of any change in any such reserve
requirements.

4.4. Continuation or Conversion of Loans. Borrower may (i) at any time
convert some or all of a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, or (ii) at
the end of any Interest Period of a Eurodollar Loan, continue the Loan as a
Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period or convert some or all of
such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan; provided however, that if an
Event of Default has occurred that has not been waived by Required Lenders,
Borrower may not

convert a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or continue a Eurodollar Loan
for an additional Interest Period. To cause any conversion or continuation,
Borrower shall give Administrative Agent, prior to 11:00 a.m. Central Time
three Business Days prior to the date the conversion or continuation is to
be effective, a written request (which may be mailed, personally delivered
or telecopied as provided in Section 19.1) specifying (i) the applicable
Borrower, (ii) the Applicable Currency, (iii) whether a conversion or
continuation is requested, (iv) in the case of a conversion, specifying the
amount to be converted and whether it is to be a Eurodollar Loan or a Base
Rate Loan upon the conversion, and (v) in the case of any conversion to or
continuation of a Eurodollar Loan, specifying the Interest Period therefor.
If such notice is not given by 11:00 a.m. Central Time on the third
Business Day preceding the last day of the Interest Period of a Eurodollar
Loan, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a
notice to Administrative Agent requesting (i) as to any Dollar denominated
Revolving Loan, to convert (or continue such Loan as) a Base Rate Loan
bearing interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, and (ii) as to any Offshore
Currency denominated Revolving Loan to convert such Loan to (or continue
such Loan as) a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of one month, in
each case until the applicable Borrower notifies Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms hereof. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, any
conversion or continuation shall become effective only on the day following
the last day of the current Interest Period. A Loan denominated in one
currency may not be converted into a Loan denominated in another currency.

4.5. Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans. For each Eurodollar Loan
Borrower shall select an Interest Period that is either one, two, three, or
six months; provided that:

(i) every such Interest Period for a Eurodollar Advance shall
commence on the date of the Advance;

(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day of a
calendar month which is not a Business Day, then such Interest Period
shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day in that calendar
month; provided, however, that if the next succeeding Business Day
would be in the following calendar month, it shall expire on the
first preceding Business Day;

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

(iv) no Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan that is part of the
Aggregate Revolving Loan shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date; and

(v) no Interest Period for the Canadian Term Loan may extend beyond
the Canadian Term Loan Maturity Date.

A Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate
throughout the applicable Interest Period designated by Borrower.

4.6 Time of Accrual. Interest shall accrue on all principal amounts
outstanding from the date when first outstanding to the date when no longer
outstanding. Amounts shall be deemed outstanding until payments are applied
thereto as provided herein.

4.7 Computation. Interest shall be computed for the actual days elapsed
over a year deemed to consist of 360 days (30 days to each month) for all
Eurodollar Loans and actual days elapsed for all Base Rate Loans. The
Adjusted Base Rate shall change simultaneously with any change in the Prime
Rate and such change shall be effective for the entire day on which such
change becomes effective. The Adjusted Base Rate will be determined by
Administrative Agent on the Effective Date based on the Prime Rate in
effect on the Effective Date and on each Business Day thereafter when the
Prime Rate changes.

4.8 Rate After Maturity. Borrower shall pay interest on each Loan after
its Maturity, and (at the option of Lenders) on each Loan and on the other
Loan Obligations after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate per
annum of 2.0% plus the rate that would otherwise apply hereunder.

4.9 Compensation for Increased Costs and Reduced Returns; Capital
Adequacy.

4.9.1. If, after the Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable
Law or any change in any applicable Law or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof,
or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency:

4.9.1.1. shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable
Lending Office) to any Tax with respect to any Eurodollar
Loans, Offshore Currency Loans, or its obligation to make
Eurodollar Loans or Offshore Currency Loans, or change the
basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender (or
its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement in
respect of any Eurodollar Loans or Offshore Currency Loans
(other than Taxes imposed on the overall net income of such
Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its
principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);

4.9.1.2. shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan or
similar requirement (other than the reserve requirement
utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate)
relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or
any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of,
such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including
the Commitment of such Lender hereunder; or

4.9.1.3. shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable
Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement, such Lender's Revolving
Loan Commitment or its Note or any of such extensions of
credit or liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, converting
into, continuing, or maintaining any Loans or to reduce any sum
received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) under this Agreement or its Note with respect to any Loans,
then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
reduction. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under
this Section the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender
to make or continue Loans of the type or in the Applicable Currency
with respect to which such compensation is requested, or to convert
Loans of any other type into Loans of such type (but not convert
Loans of one Applicable Currency into another Applicable Currency),
until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be
in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.13 shall be
applicable); provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect
the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

4.9.2. If, after the Effective Date, any Lender shall have
determined that the adoption of any applicable Law regarding capital
adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank,
or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or admin-
istration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital
of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a
consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below
that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but
for such adoption, change, request, or directive (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then
from time to time upon demand the Borrower shall pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such reduction after giving effect (without duplication) to any
compensation payable pursuant to Section 4.9.1.

4.9.3. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge,
occurring after the Effective Date, which will entitle such
Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.9 and will
designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation
will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise dis-
advantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this
Section 4.9 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent a statement setting forth the additional amountor amounts to be
paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

4.10. Limitation on Types of Loans. If on or prior to the first day of
any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:

4.10.1. the Administrative Agent determines (which determination
shall be conclusive if made in good faith) that by reason of
circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period; or

4.10.2. the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be
conclusive if made in good faith) and notify the Administrative Agent
that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to the Lenders of funding Eurodollar Loans for such Interest
Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice
thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall
be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans affected by such
conditions, to continue such Eurodollar Loans, or to convert Base Rate
Loans to such Eurodollar Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s)
of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar
Loans, as applicable (i) convert such Eurodollar Loans into another
Eurodollar Loan which is not subject to the same or similar condition, (ii)
in the case of Dollar denominated Loans, convert such Eurodollar Loans into
Base Rate Loans, or (iii) in the case Offshore Currency Loans, promptly
repay such loans. The Administrative Agent shall give the Domestic Borrower
notice describing in reasonable detail any event or condition described in
this Section 4.10 promptly following the determination by the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, that the
availability of Eurodollar Loans is, or is to be, suspended as a result
thereof, but failure of Administrative Agent to give such notice shall not
extinguish or diminish Borrower's obligations under this Section 4.10.

4.11. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in
the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending
Office to honor its obligation to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Loans
or Loans in any Applicable Currency hereunder, then such Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower thereof and such Lender's obligation to make
or continue Eurodollar Loans or Loans in such Applicable Currency, as
applicable, or (if applicable) convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar
Loans, shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make,
maintain, and fund Eurodollar Loans or Loans in such Applicable Currency;
and such Lender's outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted into Base
Rate Loans in accordance with Section 4.13 denominated in Dollars, and the
Borrower shall repay to such Lender all outstanding Offshore Currency Loans
owed to such Lender (together with accrued interest thereon) at the end of
their respective Interest Periods or on the date such payment is required
in order for Lenders to be in compliance with applicable Law, whichever is
earlier (in which case the provisions of Section 4.13 shall be applicable),
and Dollar Loans shall not be required to be repaid.

4.12. Compensation. Upon the request of any Lender, for each Loan in any
Applicable Currency, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount or
amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable determination of such
Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (including loss of
anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:

4.12.1. any payment, prepayment, or conversion of an Eurodollar Loan
for any reason (other than pursuant to Section 4.11, but including,
without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to the
terms hereof) on a date other than the last day of the Interest
Period for such Eurodollar Loan; or

4.12.2. any failure by the Borrower for any reason (other than a
default by such Lender or pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11) to
borrow, convert, continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Loan on the date
for such borrowing, conversion, continuation, or prepayment specified
in the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, continuation, or
conversion under this Agreement.

If a Lender claims compensation under this Section 4.12, such Lender shall
furnish a certificate to Borrower that states the amount to be paid to it
hereunder and includes a description in reasonable detail of the method
used by such Lender in calculating such amount. Borrower shall have the
burden of proving that the amount of any such compensation calculated by a
Lender is not correct. Any compensation payable by Borrower to a Lender
under this Section shall be payable without regard to whether such Lender
has funded its prorata share of any Eurodollar Advance or Eurodollar Loan
through the purchase of deposits in an amount or of a maturity
corresponding to the deposits used as a reference in determining the
Eurodollar Rate under Section 4.3 (and in the case of Offshore Currency
Loans, for deposits in the Applicable Currency of amounts comparable to
such principal amount and maturities comparable to such period).

4.13. Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make
a Eurodollar Loan or to continue any Eurodollar Loan or to convert any Base
Rate Loan into an Eurodollar Loan shall be suspended pursuant to Section
4.9, 4.10 or 4.11 (such Loans being herein called "Affected Loans"), such
Lender's Affected Loans shall be automatically and immediately be converted
into Base Rate Loans on the last days of the then current Interest Periods
for Affected Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by Section
4.11 hereof, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the
Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until
such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified
in Section 4.9 or 4.11 or that gave rise to such conversion no longer
exist:

4.13.1. to the extent that such Lender's Affected Loans have been so
converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would
otherwise be applied to such Lender's Affected Loans shall continue
to be made and applied as provided for herein; and

4.13.2. all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued by such
Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base
Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be
converted into Eurodollar Loans shall be converted instead into (or
shall remain as) Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.9, 4.10
or 4.11 that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender's Affected Loans
pursuant to this Section 4.13 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to
do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Loans
of the type of the

Affected Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender's Base
Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first days of the next
succeeding Interest Periods for such outstanding Loans of the type of the
Affected Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect
thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Loans of the type of the
Affected Loans and by such Lender are held prorata (as to principal
amounts, type of interest, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitments.

4.14. Taxes.

4.14.1. Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account
of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future Tax, excluding, in the
case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) franchise
taxes, (ii) any Taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not
be imposed but for a connection between a Lender or the Admin-
istrative Agent and the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes (other than
a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of such
Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in respect of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any withholding taxes
payable with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan
Document under laws (including any statute, treaty, ruling,
determination or regulation) in effect on the Effective Date (except
that this subsection (iii) shall not include (A) withholding taxes
payable after the Effective Date as a consequence of the change in
the applicable tax treaty to eliminate any applicable exemption
contained in such tax treaty as in effect on the Effective Date from
the obligation to pay such withholding taxes, or (B) withholding
taxes arising because the applicable taxing authorities do not
accept the exemption or clearance application of any Lender or
Administrative Agent, except that the adjustments contemplated by
this Section 4.14 shall not be required with respect to the items
described in this clause (B) to the extent that such withholding
taxes give rise to offsetting tax benefits for such Lender, such
Administrative Agent or the respective Affiliates of such Lender or
such Administrative Agent), (iv) any Taxes imposed on or measured by
any Lender's assets, net income, receipts or branch profits and (v)
any Taxes arising after the Effective Date solely as a result of or
attributable to a Lender changing its Applicable Lending Office after
the date such Lender becomes a party hereto (other than at the
request of Borrower). Each Lender and the Administrative Agent will
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable
taxing authorities to accept its respective exemption or clearance
applications. If the Borrower shall be required by Law to deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent,
(i) subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.14, 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) such Lender or the Administrative
Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable Law, and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent, at its

address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof.

4.14.2. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present
or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property
taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution
or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as "Impositions").

4.14.3. If the Borrower fails to pay Taxes or Impositions when due
to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lender, the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the
Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental Taxes or
Impositions, interest or penalties that may become payable by any
Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section
4.14, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment
by the Borrowers.

4.14.4. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution
and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on
the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it
becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to
time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains
lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or
4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to
an exemption from withholding Tax on payments of interest or other
income receivable pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents, (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as
appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, and (iii) any other form or certificate required by any
Governmental Authority (including any certificate required by
Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code), certifying
that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from withholding Tax on
payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents.

4.14.5. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to
provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the
appropriate form pursuant to Section 4.14.4, 4.14.9 and 4.14.10
(unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation
occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was
required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to
indemnification under this Section 4.14 with respect to withholding
Taxes imposed by the United States, the United Kingdom or Germany, as
the case may be; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is
otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding
Tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form
required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender
shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

4.14.6. If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or
for the account of any Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent will agree
to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its
Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such
additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the
judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

4.14.7. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of
Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

4.14.8. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the
Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the termination of
the Commitments and the indefeasible payment in full of the Notes.

4.14.9. Prior to the date that any Lender or participant organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom becomes a
party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by
applicable law, duly and properly completed and executed and
currently effective, by such Person, establishing that any payments
to such Person are not subject to any withholding Tax of the United
Kingdom.

4.14.10. Prior to the date that any Lender or participant organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction outside Germany becomes a party
hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such
certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by applicable
law, duly and properly completed and executed and currently
effective, by such Person, establishing that any payments to such
Person are not subject to any withholding Tax of Germany.

4.15. Usury. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in Section 4 or
elsewhere in any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be obligated to
pay interest at a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Law. If,
but for this Section 4.15, Borrower would be deemed obligated to pay
interest at a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Law, or if
any of the Loan Obligations is paid or becomes payable before its
originally scheduled Maturity and as a result Borrower has paid or would be
obligated to pay interest at such an excessive rate, then (i) Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay interest to the extent it exceeds the
interest that would be payable at the maximum rate permitted by Law; (ii)
if the outstanding Loan Obligations have not been accelerated as provided
in Section 16.2.2, any such excess interest that has been paid by Borrower
shall be refunded; (iii) if the outstanding Loan Obligations have been
accelerated as provided in Section 16.2.2, any such excess that has been
paid by Borrower shall be applied to the Loan Obligations as provided in
Section 16.3; and (iv) the effective rate of interest shall be deemed
automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Law.

4.16. Unavailability of Offshore Currency.

4.16.1. Suspension of Obligations. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful
for any Lender to honor its obligation to make Loans (or for Letter
of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit) in any Offshore
Currency, or any Lender fails to have access to any Offshore Currency
on terms reasonably acceptable to such Lender, then such Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) and the obligation of any Lender to make Loans
denominated in such Offshore Currency, and the obligation of Letter
of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit in such Offshore
Currency, shall be suspended until such time as each Lender may again
make Loans (and Letter of Credit Issuer may again issue Letters of
Credit) in such Offshore Currency. Nothing contained in this Section
shall suspend any obligations of the Lenders to make Revolving Loans
or payments denominated in Dollars.

4.16.2. Mandatory Assignment. In the event that any Lender delivers
a notice to Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
4.16.1, then, subject to Section 18.4 of this Agreement, and provided
that there is no Existing Default, Borrower may, at its own expense,
require such Lender to assign all or (with such Lender's and
Administrative Agent's consent) part of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (except for rights to be indemnified for actions
taken while a party hereunder) to a replacement bank or financial
institution if the Borrower can identify a Person who is ready,
willing and able to be such replacement bank or institution with
respect thereto and such replacement bank or institution (which may
be another Lender) shall assume such assigned obligations, provided,
however, that (y) subject to Section 18.4 hereof, the Borrowers or
such replacement bank or institution, as the case may be, shall have
paid to such Lender in immediately available funds the principal of
and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the Loans made by
it hereunder and all other amounts owed to it hereunder and (z) such
assignment of the rights and obligations of such Lender does not
conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or
Governmental Authority.

4.17. Alternate Lending Installation. If at the time a Lender becomes a
party hereto or any time thereafter, such Lender has, acquires or
establishes a branch or office in Germany or the United Kingdom, such
Lender shall designate such branch or office as its office for making
Eurodollar Loans in such country if such designation would (a) reduce the
liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Section 4.9 or 4.14, or (b)
avoid any unavailability of Eurodollar Loans under Sections 4.10, 4.11,
4.16 or provided that such Lender shall not be required to make such
designation if such designation would be unlawful or unreasonably
burdensome to such Lender, or would impose additional costs on such Lender.

5. Fees.

5.1. Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the
account of Lenders a non-refundable, recurring Revolving Loan Commitment
Fee calculated by applying the daily equivalent of the Commitment Fee Rate
to the Unused Revolving Loan Commitment on each day during the period from
the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The "Unused
Revolving Loan Commitment" on any day shall be the difference between (i)
the amount

of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and (ii) the sum of (a) the
Aggregate Revolving Loan, (b) the Letter of Credit Exposure as of the close
of business on such day, and (c) the Swingline Loan. The Revolving Loan
Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing on the
first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the Effective Date
and continuing on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter and on
the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The "Commitment Fee Rate" shall be an
annual rate equal to the applicable rate in the table below, wherein the
"Level" is the then applicable Level determined as provided in Section 4.3:

---------------- -------------------
Applicable Level Commitment Fee Rate
---------------- -------------------
I 0.250%
---------------- -------------------
II 0.250%
---------------- -------------------
III 0.200%
---------------- -------------------
IV 0.150%
---------------- -------------------
V 0.125%
---------------- -------------------

5.2. Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for
the account of Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for its sole account in
the case of Swingline Letters of Credit) a non-refundable recurring Letter
of Credit Fee for each Letter of Credit issued by Letter of Credit Issuer.
The "Letter of Credit Fee" for any Letter of Credit shall be an amount
determined by applying the quarterly equivalent of the Eurodollar Increment
that is determined to be applicable as provided in Section 4.3 to the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of
Credit as of its issuance and as of the first day of each calendar quarter
thereafter. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the
sole account of Letter of Credit Issuer for each Letter of Credit issued by
Letter of Credit Issuer an "Issuance Fee" determined by applying the
quarterly equivalent of 0.125% per annum to the Dollar Equivalent Amount of
the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit as of its issuance
and as of the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter. The Letter of
Credit Fee and Issuance Fee for each Letter of Credit shall be payable in
advance upon its issuance and on the first day of each calendar quarter
thereafter until the earlier of its expiration or the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date. Letter of Credit Fees will be distributed by Administrative
Agent to Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with their
prorata shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

5.3. Other Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Letter of Credit
Issuer such Letter of Credit Issuer's other customary fees for issuance,
amendment, or renewal of a Letter of Credit and, as Letter of Credit Issuer
and Borrower may agree with respect to each Letter of Credit, for each
negotiation of a draft drawn under such Letter of Credit.

5.4. Calculation of Fees. All of the foregoing fees and all other fees
payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender that are based on an annual
percentage shall be calculated on the basis of a year deemed to consist of
360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed.

6. Payments.

6.1. Scheduled Payments on Aggregate Revolving Loan, Canadian Term Loan
and Swingline Loan.

6.1.1. Interest. Borrower shall pay interest accrued on each Base
Rate Loan included in the Aggregate Revolving Loan, the Canadian Term
Loan and the Swingline Loan monthly in arrears beginning on the first
day of the first calendar month beginning after the Effective Date
and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter,
and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay interest
accrued on each Eurodollar Loan at the end of its Interest Period
and, in addition, for each such Eurodollar Loan with an Interest
Period longer than three months, Borrower shall pay interest accrued
thereon quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter ended
during such Interest Period. Borrower shall pay interest accrued on
each Revolving Loan and the Swingline Loan after the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date on demand.

6.1.2. Principal. Borrower shall repay the entire amount of the
Aggregate Revolving Loan as then outstanding on August 1, 2002.
Borrower shall repay the entire amount of the Swingline Loan on
demand, or if no demand is made, on August 1, 2002. Canadian
Borrowers shall repay the entire amount of the Canadian Term Loan on
August 4, 2002.

6.2. Prepayments.

6.2.1. Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower shall not be entitled to
prepay any Eurodollar Loan. Subject to the limitations in the
following sentences, Borrower may wholly prepay any Base Rate Loan
that is included in the Aggregate Revolving Loan or the Aggregate
Canadian Term Loan and may wholly prepay the Swingline Loan at any
time and may make a partial prepayments thereon from time to time,
without penalty or premium, but only if (i) Borrower gives
Administrative Agent written notice (which may be mailed, personally
delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 19.1) of Borrower's
intention to make such prepayment at least two Business days (one
Business Day in the case of a prepayment on a Base Rate Loan
denominated in Dollars) prior to tendering such prepayment, (ii) the
total amount of such partial prepayment is a whole multiple of
$500,000, or its Dollar Equivalent Amount if the Base Rate Loan is
denominated in an Offshore Currency, and (iii) Borrower pays any
accrued interest on the amount prepaid at the time of such prepay-
ment. All such prepayments will be applied by Lenders to reduce
the applicable Revolving Loans or the Canadian Term Loans (as
applicable) in accordance with their respective prorata shares of
the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or their share of the
Aggregate Canadian Term Loan (as applicable). A Base Rate Loan may
only be prepaid in the Applicable Currency in which it is
denominated.

6.2.2. Mandatory Prepayments as a Result of Currency Value
Adjustments. Whenever a Eurodollar Loan is continued as a Eurodollar
Loan or is converted to a Base Rate Loan as provided in Section 4.4,
and whenever a draw is made on an Offshore Letter of Credit, the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Loan or the reimbursement

obligation of the applicable Borrower, as applicable, shall be
adjusted based on the applicable Determination Date Exchange Rate. If
such adjustment would cause the total Dollar Equivalent Amount of the
Aggregate Revolving Loan plus the total Dollar Equivalent Amount of
the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan
Commitment, then Domestic Borrower shall, within two Business Days
after the effective date of such continuation or conversion, repay
the portion of such continued or converted Loan to the extent
necessary to ensure that the total Dollar Equivalent Amount of the
Aggregate Revolving Loan does not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan
Commitment (calculated based on the new Determination Date Exchange
Rate). If such adjustment would cause the portion of the Aggregate
Revolving Loan which is denominated in an Offshore Currency plus the
portion of the Letter of Credit Exposure which is denominated in such
Offshore Currency to exceed the applicable Aggregate Offshore
Currency Revolving Loan Commitment, or either of the limit amounts
for UK Borrower or German Borrower determined under Sections 3.2.3
and 3.2.4, then the applicable Foreign Borrower shall, within two
Business Days after the effective date of such continuation or
conversion, repay the portion of Aggregate Revolving Loan denominated
in such Offshore Currency (calculated based on the new Determination
Date Exchange Rate) to the extent necessary to ensure that the
portion of the Aggregate Revolving Loan which is denominated in such
Offshore Currency plus the portion of the Letter of Credit Exposure
which is denominated in such Offshore Currency does not exceed the
applicable Aggregate Offshore Currency Revolving Loan Commitment
and that the applicable limit amount for UK Borrower or German
Borrower determined under Section 3.2.3 or 3.2.4 is not exceeded.
The Administrative Agent will maintain records sufficient to identify
at any time the outstanding principal amount, Dollar Equivalent
Amount and Determination Date Exchange Rate with respect to each
Advance and Loan.

6.3. Reimbursement Obligations of Borrower. Each Borrower hereby
unconditionally agrees to immediately pay to Letter of Credit Issuer on
demand at the Letter of Credit Issuer's Applicable Lending Office all
amounts required to pay all drafts drawn under Letters of Credit issued for
the account of such Borrower and all reasonable expenses incurred by Letter
of Credit Issuer in connection with such Letters of Credit and in any event
and without demand to remit to Letter of Credit Issuer (which may be
through obtaining Advances if permitted under Section 3.2 or 3.5)
sufficient funds to pay all debts and liabilities arising under any Letter
of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower. All such reimbursements
shall be in the Applicable Currency in which the face amount of the
applicable Letter of Credit is denominated.

6.4 Manner of Payments and Timing of Application of Payments.

6.4.1. Payment Requirement. Unless expressly provided to the
contrary elsewhere herein, Borrower shall make each payment in the
Applicable Currency on the Loan Obligations to Administrative Agent
for the account of Lenders as required under the Loan Documents at
the Applicable Lending Office on the date when due, without
deduction, set-off or counterclaim. All such payments will be
distributed by Administrative Agent to Lenders as provided in Section
17.10 for application to the Loan Obligations as provided herein.

6.4.2. Nonconforming Payments. The Administrative Agent shall deem
that any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower that is not made both
(i) in the Applicable Currency and in immediately available funds,
and (ii) at or prior to 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on the date any
such payment is due to be a nonconforming payment. Any such payment
shall not be deemed to be received by the Administrative Agent until
the time that such funds become available funds. The Administrative
Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) to
the Borrower and each of the Lenders if any payment is nonconforming
(but the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the obliga-
tion of Borrower to make such payment). Interest shall continue to
accrue on any principal as to which a nonconforming payment is made
until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than
the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding
Business Day).

6.4.3. Application of Payments and Proceeds. Subject to Section
6.4.2, all payments received in the Applicable Currency by
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at or before
11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on a Business Day will be distributed by
Administrative Agent to Lenders as provided in Section 17.10 on the
same Business Day in such Applicable Currency. Such payments received
in the appropriate Applicable Currency on a day that is not a
Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on a Business Day
will be distributed by Administrative Agent to Lenders as provided in
Section 17.10 on the next Business Day in such Applicable Currency.
The amount so distributed to a Lender will be applied by such Lender
to the relevant Loan Obligation on the Business Day when received.

6.4.4. Interest Calculation. Section 6.4.3 notwithstanding, for
purposes of interest calculation only, for all Applicable Currencies
(i) a payment by check, draft or other instrument received at or
before 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on a Business Day shall be deemed to
have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the second
following Business Day, (ii) a payment by check, draft or other
instrument received on a day that is not a Business Day or after
11:00 a.m. on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied
to the relevant Loan Obligation on the third following Business Day,
(iii) a payment in cash or by wire transfer received at or before
11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on a Business Day shall be deemed to have
been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the Business Day when
it is received, and (iv) a payment in cash or by wire transfer
received on a day that is not a Business Day or after 11:00 a.m.
(Central Time) on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied
to the relevant Loan Obligation on the next Business Day.

6.5. Returned Instruments. If a payment is made by check, draft or other
instrument and the check, draft or other instrument is returned unpaid, any
application of the payment to the Loan Obligations will be reversed and
will be treated as never having been made.

6.6. Compelled Return of Payments or Proceeds. If a Lender is for any
reason compelled to surrender any payment in an Applicable Currency because
such payment or the application of such proceeds is for any reason
invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, or determined to be void or
voidable as a preference, an impermissible set-off, or a diversion of trust
funds, then this

Agreement and the Loan Obligations to which such payment or proceeds was
applied or intended to be applied shall be revived as if such application
was never made; and Borrower shall be liable to pay to such Lender, and
shall indemnify such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss
with respect to, the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. This
Section shall be effective notwithstanding any contrary action that such
Lender may take in reliance upon its receipt of any such payment or
proceeds. Any such contrary action so taken by such Lender shall be without
prejudice to such Lender's rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed
to have been conditioned upon the application of such payment or proceeds
having become final and indefeasible. The provisions of this Section shall
survive termination of the Commitments, the expiration of the Letters of
Credit and the payment and satisfaction of all of the Loan Obligations.

6.7. Due Dates Not on Business Days. If any payment required hereunder
becomes due on a date that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall
be deemed automatically extended to the next Business Day.

7. Procedure for Obtaining Advances and Letters of Credit.

7.1 Initial Revolving Loan Advances. Provided that all conditions thereto
hereunder are satisfied, and subject to the limitations contained herein,
Lenders will make the initial Revolving Loan Advances in the Applicable
Currencies on the Effective Date as directed by Borrower in a written
direction delivered to Administrative Agent.

7.2 Subsequent Revolving Loan Advances.

7.2.1. Borrower Requests. Borrower may request subsequent Revolving
Loan Advances and Swingline Advances at any time, but not more often
than once each Business Day, by submitting a request therefor to
Administrative Agent that meets the requirements of Section 7.10.
Domestic Borrower may request Revolving Loan Advances in any
Applicable Currency, UK Borrower may request Revolving Loan Advances
only in Pounds Sterling, and German Borrower may request Revolving
Loan Advances only in Deutsche Marks. A request for a Eurodollar
Advance must be given prior to 11:00 a.m., Central Time, at least
three Business Days prior to the Advance Date for such Eurodollar
Advance. (Administrative Agent in any instance may accept a request
for a Swingline Advance that is to be a Eurodollar Advance two
Business Days prior to the Advance Date, but the acceptance of such
a request in any instance shall not constitute a waiver of the
requirement for three Business Days notice in any other instance).
A request for a Base Rate Advance must be given prior to 11:00 a.m.,
Central Time, on the Advance Date for such Base Rate Advance. A
request for an Advance, including a Swingline Advance, must meet the
requirements of Section 7.10 or such Advance will not be made. No
Advance Date for any requested Advance may be other than a Business
Day. Every request for an Revolving Loan Advance shall be
irrevocable. A request for a Revolving Loan Advance received by
Administrative Agent on a day that is not a Business Day or that is
received by Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) on a
Business Day shall be treated as having been received by Administra-
tive Agent at 10:59 a.m. (Central Time) on the next Business Day.

7.2.2. Revolving Loan Advances to Repay the Swingline Loan.

7.2.2.1. Administrative Agent may in its absolute
discretion on any Business Day give notice to Lenders of the
amount of the Swingline Loan after application of all
payments to be applied thereto as provided elsewhere herein.
Such notice shall be given no later than 12:00 n. (Central
Time) and may include a demand that the Swingline Loan be
fully paid. If Administrative Agent demands that the
Swingline Loan be fully paid, then prior to 3:00 p.m.
(Central Time) on such date, Lenders shall remit funds to
Administrative Agent sufficient to reduce the Swingline Loan
to zero. The aggregate of such remittances shall be treated
as a Revolving Loan Advance and the Aggregate Revolving Loan
increased accordingly. Each such remittance by a Lender
shall be made in accordance with its prorata share of the
Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and shall be made
notwithstanding that (i) the amount of the aggregate of such
remittances by Lenders may not be in the minimum amount for
Revolving Loan Advances otherwise required hereunder, (ii)
any conditions to Advances in Section 9 may not be then
satisfied, (iii) there is an Existing Default, (iv) the
aggregate amount of such remittances by Lenders would result
in the Aggregate Revolving Loan exceeding the Maximum
Available Amount, or (v) such remittances by Lenders may be
made after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; provided,
however, that in no event shall any Lender be required to
make any such remittance that would result in the Revolving
Loan of such Lender exceeding such Lender's Revolving Loan
Commitment.

7.2.2.2. If for any reason, including the commencement of
a proceeding in bankruptcy with respect to any Borrower,
remittances by Lenders as provided above cannot be made on
the date otherwise required above, then each Lender shall be
deemed automatically to have purchased from Administrative
Agent as of such date a prorata undivided interest and
participation in the Swingline Loan so as to cause such
Lender to share in the Swingline Loan in accordance with its
prorata share of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.
Each Lender shall remit its prorata share of the Swingline
Loan to Administrative Agent promptly on demand. All
interest payable with respect to such Lender's prorata share
of the Swingline Loan shall be for the account of
Administrative Agent to the date such remittance is made,
and shall be for the account of and remitted by
Administrative Agent to such Lender as a participant from
such date. Further, until such remittance is made, such
Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand,
interest on such Lender's prorata share of the Swingline
Loan at the Federal Funds Rate.

7.2.3. Administrative Agent's Right to Make Other Revolving Loan
Advances. With the prior approval of Required Lenders in each
instance, Administrative Agent shall have the right to make Revolving
Loan Advances in any Applicable Currency at any time and from time to
time to cause timely payment of any of the Loan Obligations.
Administrative Agent may select the Advance Date and the Applicable
Currency for any such Revolving Loan Advance, but such Advance Date
may only be a Business Day.

Administrative Agent will give notice to Borrower after any such
Revolving Loan Advance is made. Any such Revolving Loan Advance
will be a Base Rate Advance.

7.3. Letters of Credit. Domestic Borrower may request the issuance of a
Letter of Credit denominated in any Applicable Currency, UK Borrower may
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in Pounds Sterling,
and German Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit
denominated in Deutsche Marks, by submitting an issuance request to Letter
of Credit Issuer and executing the reimbursement agreement required under
Section 10.1 no less than five Business Days prior to the requested issue
date for such Letter of Credit.

7.4. Fundings of Revolving Loan Advances.

7.4.1. Funding of Dollar Denominated Advances. In the case of
requested Revolving Loan Advances denominated in Dollars that are not
Swingline Advances, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the amount of the Advance to be made on the Advance Date.
Each Lender shall make immediately available to Administrative Agent
on or before the date specified for such Advance, but not later than
by 1:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the Advance Date, funds consisting
solely of Dollars in the amount of its prorata share of such Advance,
rounded to the nearest xxxxx, in accordance with such remittance
instructions as may be given by Administrative Agent to Lenders from
time to time.

7.4.2. Funding of Offshore Currency Denominated Advances. In the
case of requested Revolving Loan Advances denominated in an Offshore
Currency that are not Swingline Advances, Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the amount of the Advance to be made
on the Advance Date. Each Lender shall make immediately available to
Administrative Agent on or before the Advance Date, but not later
than 1:00 p.m. (Central Time) on the Advance Date, funds consisting
solely of such Offshore Currency in the amount of its prorata share
of such Advance, rounded to the nearest smallest unit of such
currency, in accordance with such remittance instructions as may be
given by Administrative Agent to Lenders from time to time.

7.4.3. Draws on Letters of Credit. In the event that a draw is made
on a Revolver Letter of Credit and Borrower does not reimburse the
amount of such draw in full to Letter of Credit Issuer on demand,
Administrative Agent may notify each Lender thereof and shall have
the right to cause a Revolving Loan Advance to be made, regardless
whether such Revolving Loan Advance would result in the Aggregate
Revolving Loan exceeding the Maximum Available Amount, by notifying
each Lender of the draw, the amount of the Revolving Loan Advance
required to fund reimbursement of such draw, and the amount of such
Lender's ratable share of such Revolving Loan Advance. Unless
otherwise agreed by Lenders, the Advance Date and time for such
Revolving Loan Advance shall not be later than 1:00 p.m. (Central
Time) on the first Business Day following Administrative Agent's
delivery of such notice to Lenders. By no later than such Advance
Date and time, each Lender shall make immediately available to
Administrative Agent funds consisting solely of the Applicable
Currency in which the relevant Revolver Letter of Credit is
denominated in the amount of its prorata share of

such Revolving Loan Advance, rounded to the nearest smallest unit of
such currency, in accordance with such remittance instructions
as may be given by Administrative Agent to each Lender from time to
time. Each Revolving Loan Advance made by Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 7.4.3 shall be deemed to be a Base Rate
Advance.

7.4.4. All Fundings Ratable. All fundings of Advances shall be made
by Lenders in the Applicable Currency requested by Borrower or as
otherwise directed by Administrative Agent as provided herein in
accordance with their prorata shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan
Commitment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, a Lender
shall not be obligated to fund Revolving Loan Advances that would
result in its Revolving Loan exceeding its Revolving Loan Commitment,
or make available any more than its prorata share of any Advance.

7.5. Administrative Agent's Availability Assumption. Unless Administrative
Agent has been given written notice by a Lender prior to an Advance Date
that such Lender does not intend to make immediately available to
Administrative Agent such Lender's prorata share of the Advance which
Administrative Agent will be obligated to make on the Advance Date,
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made the required
amount available to Administrative Agent on the Advance Date and
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available
to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in
fact made immediately available to Administrative Agent by such Lender on
the Advance Date, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not
pay such corresponding amount immediately upon Administrative Agent's
demand therefor, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower
and the other Lenders and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding
amount to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled
to recover, either from such defaulting Lender or Borrower, interest on
such corresponding amount for each day from the date such corresponding
amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date
such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the cost to Administrative
Agent of funding such amount at the Federal Funds Rate, or (ii) if paid by
Borrower, the applicable rate for the Advance in question determined from
the request therefor. Each Lender shall be obligated only to fund its
prorata share of an Advance subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
regardless of the failure of another Lender to fund its prorata share
thereof.

7.6. Disbursement. Provided that all conditions precedent herein to a
requested Advance or, if applicable, a Swingline Advance, have been
satisfied, Administrative Agent will make the amount of such requested
Advance available to Borrower on the applicable Advance Date in immediately
available funds of the Applicable Currency at the applicable Funding
Office.

7.7. Restrictions on Advances. No more than one Revolving Loan Advance and
no more than one Swingline Advance will be made on any one day pursuant to
a request for a Revolving Loan Advance. Advances will only be made for the
purposes permitted in Section 13.1.

7.8. Restriction on Number of Eurodollar Loans. No more than thirteen
Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods may be outstanding at any
one time.

7.9. Each Advance Request and Letter of Credit Request a Certification.
Each submittal of a request for an Advance and each submittal of a request
for the issuance of a Letter of Credit by a Borrowing Officer shall
constitute a certification by Borrower that (i) there is no Existing
Default, (ii) all conditions precedent hereunder to the making of the
requested Advance or issuance of the requested Letter of Credit have been
satisfied, and (iii) the Representations and Warranties are then true and
will be true on the Advance Date or issuance date, as applicable, as if
then made, except as disclosed to Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

7.10. Requirements for Every Advance Request. Only a written request or
oral request (which shall be promptly confirmed in writing) from a
Borrowing Officer to Administrative Agent that specifies the amount and the
Applicable Currency of the requested Advance, the Advance Date for the
requested Advance, the portion of the Advance which is requested to be a
Eurodollar Advance and the portion of the Advance which is requested to be
a Base Rate Advance, and the Interest Period to be applicable to the
Eurodollar Loan that will result from a requested Eurodollar Advance, will
be treated by Administrative Agent as a request for an Advance.

7.11. Requirements for Every Letter of Credit Request. Only a written
request (which may be mailed, personally delivered or telecopied as
provided in Section 19.1) from a Borrowing Officer to Letter of Credit
Issuer that specifies the request face amount of the Letter of Credit,
whether the Letter of Credit is to be a Revolver Letter of Credit or a
Swingline Letter of Credit, and the Applicable Currency, the requested
issue date (which shall be a Business Day and in no event later than five
Business Days before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date), the account party,
and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit, and other
information necessary for its issuance, shall be treated as a request for
issuance of a Letter of Credit.

7.12. Exoneration of Administrative Agent and Lenders. Neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to any
Borrower for treating a request that meets the express requirements of
Section 7.10 or Section 7.11 as a request for an Advance or issuance of a
Letter of Credit, as applicable, if Administrative Agent or Letter of
Credit Issuer believes in good faith that the Person making the request is
a Borrowing Officer. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
incur any liability to any Borrower for failing to treat any such request
as a request for an Advance or issuance of a Letter of Credit, as
applicable, if Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer believes in
good faith that the Person making the request is not a Borrowing Officer.

8. Security and Guaranties. Domestic Borrower shall execute and deliver to
Administrative Agent, or cause to be executed and delivered to Administrative
Agent, the following documents, each satisfactory to Lenders:

improper transportation, storage, disposal, generation or release
into the environment of any Hazardous Material, the results of which

11.10.4. Notices and Reports Regarding Hazardous Materials. No

for payment of all Taxes of such Covered Person, except Taxes which are
being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as

reserves in conformity with GAAP. No Security Interest for any such Taxes
has been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such
Taxes which, if adversely determined, has or is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The United States federal income tax returns of
Domestic Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been audited by the Internal
Revenue Service and passed upon without exception for all fiscal years
ended on or prior to June 30, 1993, or the period during which any
assessments may be made by the IRS with respect to such returns has expired

Plans maintained by each Covered Person or an ERISA Affiliate of such

has participated in, engaged in or been a party to any non-exempt
PROHIBITED TRANSACTION as defined in ERISA or the Code, and no
officer, director or employee of such Covered Person or of an ERISA

11.18.2. Claims. There are no claims, pending or threatened,
involving any such Pension Benefit Plan by a current or former
employee (or beneficiary thereof) of such Covered Person or ERISA
Affiliate of such Covered Person, nor is there any reasonable basis
to anticipate any claims involving any such Pension Benefit Plan
which would likely be successfully maintained against such Covered
Person or such ERISA Affiliate except, in such case, claims for
benefits in the ordinary course in accordance with such Pension
Benefit Plan.

11.18.3. Reporting and Disclosure Requirements. There are no
violations of any reporting or disclosure requirements with respect

been a Pension Benefit Plan with respect to which a Reportable Event
(to the extent that the reporting of such events to the PBGC within
thirty days of the occurrence has not been waived) has occurred and
is continuing; or (iii) been a Pension Benefit Plan with respect to
which there exist conditions or events which have occurred that
present a significant risk of termination of such Pension Benefit

Person or ERISA Affiliate of such Covered Person has received notice

terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and no such
Multi-employer Plan is reasonably expected to be in reorganization
or to be terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA.

11.19. Welfare Benefit Plans. No Covered Person or ERISA Affiliate of any
Covered Person maintains a Welfare Benefit Plan that has a liability which,
if enforced or collected, has or is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Covered Person and each ERISA Affiliate of any Covered
Person has complied in all material respects with the applicable
requirements of Section 4980B of the Code pertaining to continuation
coverage as mandated by COBRA.

borrowed money becomes or is declared to be due and payable or
required to be prepaid (other than by an originally scheduled

thereof stayed pending the appeal; or any Covered Person enters into
an agreement to settle any claim or controversy which causes the
aggregate amount of the monetary Obligations of all Covered Persons

given their consent and agreed that such event shall not constitute
a Default; or the plan administrator of any Pension Benefit Plan
applies under Section 412(d) of the Code for a waiver of the minimum
funding standards of Section 412(1) of the Code and Required Lenders

could result in the confiscation or forfeiture of any material part
of the assets of a Covered Person.

16.1.14. Loan Documents; Security Interests. For any reason other

in either case, without presentment, demand or notice of any kind,
which Borrower expressly waives.

16.1.8, all of the outstanding Loan Obligations shall automatically
become immediately due and payable. Upon any other Event of Default,

presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which Borrower expressly
waives.

16.2.3. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default and at any time and from time to time thereafter, each
Lender is hereby authorized, without notice to Borrower (any such
notice being expressly waived by Borrower), to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply against the Loan Obligations
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held, or any other Indebtedness
at any time owing by such Lender (or its Affiliate) to or for the
credit or the account of Borrower, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or the
Notes or any Guaranty and although such Loan Obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lender may otherwise

notice of sale or by announcement at any adjourned sale
without being required to give a new notice of sale, all as
Administrative Agent deems advisable, for cash or credit. A
Lender may become the purchaser at any such sale if
permissible under applicable Law, and such Lender may, in
lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, set-off the
amount thereof against Borrower's obligations owing to
Lender, and Borrower agrees that such Lender has no
obligation to preserve rights to Collateral against prior
parties or to marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any
Person.

16.2.5. Miscellaneous. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and at any time thereafter, Lenders may exercise any other rights

due hereunder and all other amounts due hereunder (other than the Loans and
interest accrued thereon); (v) fifth, to the payment of the Loans of each
of the Lenders and interest accrued thereon (which payments shall be

the posting of any bonds, surety and security relating thereto required by
any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession,

exercise by Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent's right to
repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to replevy, attach or
levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing. Administrative Agent
shall have no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or to
xxxxxxxx any Collateral for the benefit of any Person.

such proposed action, shall be effective and constitute reasonable and fair
notice to Borrower.

17. Administrative Agent and Lenders.

17.1. Appointment, Powers, and Immunities. NationsBank is hereby appointed
Administrative Agent hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents.
Each Lender

hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act
as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with such
powers and discretion as are specifically delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together
with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section
19.5 and the first sentence of Section 19.6 hereof shall include its
affiliates and its own and its affiliates' officers, directors, employees,
and agents): (a) shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and shall not be a trustee or
fiduciary for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for
any recital, statement, representation, or warranty (whether written or
oral) made in or in connection with any Loan Document or any certificate or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them
under, any Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Loan Document, or any
other document referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by
any Covered Person or any other Person to perform any of its obligations
thereunder; (c) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain,
inquire into, or verify the performance or observance of any covenants or
agreements by any Covered Person or the satisfaction of any condition or to
inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Covered
Person or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (d) shall not be required
to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings under any
Loan Document; and (e) shall not be responsible for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with any Loan Document,
except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

17.2. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, instrument, writing, or
other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by
telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel for any
Covered Person), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee
of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until
the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance
executed in accordance with Section 18.4.1.3 hereof. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be
required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in
so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required
Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability
or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law or unless it
shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any
and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of
taking any such action.

17.3. Employment of Administrative Agents and Counsel. Administrative
Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through employees,
agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable to any Lender (except
with respect to money or securities received by it or such agents or
attorneys-in-fact) for the default or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
the agency hereby created and its duties

hereunder and shall not be liable to any Lender for acting or failing to
act based as advised by such counsel, except where doing so violates an
express obligation of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

17.4. Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default
unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender
or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating
that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default
or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to
the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 19.2
hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default
as shall reasonably be directed by the Required Lenders, provided that,
unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such
directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest
of the Lenders.

17.5. Rights as Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made
by it, NationsBank (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in
its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were
not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders"
shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity. NationsBank (and any successor acting as
Administrative Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to account
therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make
investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind of
lending, trust, or other business with any Covered Person or any of such
Covered Person's Subsidiaries or Affiliates as if it were not acting as
Administrative Agent, and NationsBank (and any successor acting as
Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other
consideration from any Covered Person or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise
without having to account for the same to Lenders.

17.6. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the
Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 18.5
hereof, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under such
Section) ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, for any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees), or
disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (including by any
Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall
be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the
Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any
costs or expenses payable by the Borrower under Section 18.5, to the extent
that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and
expenses by the Borrower. The agreements contained in this Section shall
survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the
Loans, whether or not indefeasible, and all other amounts payable under
this Agreement.

17.7. Notification of Lenders. Each Lender agrees to use its good faith
efforts, upon becoming aware of anything which has or is reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect, to promptly notify Administrative Agent
thereof. Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender copies
of every written notice, demand, report (including any financial report),
or other writing which Administrative Agent gives to or receives from
Borrower and which itself (a) constitutes, or which contains information
about, something that has or is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect, or (b) is otherwise delivered to Administrative Agent by
Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents and is deemed material information
by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Administrative Agent and
its directors, officers, agents, and employees shall have no liability to
any Lender for failure to deliver any such item to such Lender unless the
failure constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

17.8. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of
the Covered Persons and their Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this
Agreement and 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 deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan
Documents. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information
expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative
Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of any Covered
Person or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that may come into the
possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates.

17.9. Resignation. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
giving notice thereof to Lenders and Domestic Borrower, but such
resignation will not be effective until a successor has been appointed and
has accepted such appointment. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right to appoint, with the consent of Borrower
(which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), a successor
Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 60 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving
of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall
be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of
America having combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the
provisions of Section 17.6 shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
acting as Administrative Agent.

17.10. Collections and Distributions to Lenders by Administrative Agent.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments of interest,
fees, principal and other amounts

received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall be
distributed by Administrative Agent to Lenders in accordance with their
prorata shares of the outstanding Loan Obligations at the time of such
distribution (or entirely to Administrative Agent in the case of payments
of interest, fees or principal with respect to the Swingline Loan or to
Administrative Agent for the account of Letter of Credit Issuer in the case
of reimbursable fees and interest with respect to Swingline Letters of
Credit) on the same Business Day when received, unless received after 12:00
n. (Central Time) in which case they shall be so distributed by 12:00 n.
(Central Time) on the next Business Day. All amounts received by any Lender
on account of the Loan Obligations, including amounts received by way of
setoff, shall be paid over promptly to Administrative Agent for
distribution to Lenders as provided above in this Section. Such
distributions shall be made according to instructions that each Lender may
give to Administrative Agent from time to time.

18. General.

18.1. Lenders' Right to Cure. Lenders may from time to time, in their
absolute discretion, for Borrower's account and at Borrower's expense, pay
(or, with the consent of Required Lenders, make a Revolving Loan Advance to
pay) any amount or do any act required of Borrower or any other Covered
Person hereunder or requested by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders
to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce the Loan Obligations, the
Collateral or Administrative Agent's Security Interests therein for the
benefit of Lenders, and which Borrower or such Covered Person fails to pay
or do within a reasonable period (not exceeding 90 days) after written
notice by any Lender or Administrative Agent. All payments that Lenders
make pursuant to this Section and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that
Lenders pay or incur in connection with any action taken by them hereunder
shall be a part of the Loan Obligations, the repayment of which shall be
secured by the Collateral. Any payment made or other action taken by
Lenders pursuant to this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to
assert an Event of Default hereunder and to pursue Lenders' other rights
and remedies with respect thereto.

18.2. Rights Not Exclusive. Every right granted to Administrative Agent
and Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document or allowed to it at
law or in equity shall be deemed cumulative and may be exercised from time
to time.

18.3. Survival of Agreements. All covenants and agreements made herein and
in the other Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Notes and other Loan Documents and the making of every
Advance. All agreements, obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this
Agreement concerning the payment of money to Administrative Agent and
Lenders, including Borrower's obligations under Sections 18.5 and 18.6, but
excluding the obligation to repay the Loans and interest accrued thereon,
shall survive the repayment in full of the Loans and interest accrued
thereon, whether or not indefeasible, the return of the Notes to Borrower,
the termination of the Commitments and the expiration of all Letters of
Credit.

18.4. Assignments and Participations.

18.4.1. Permitted Assignments. At any time after the Effective
Date, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or
a portion of its rights and

obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the
Notes payable to it, its Commitments and its Loans), provided that
the terms of assignment satisfy the following requirements:

18.4.1.1. Administrative Agent shall have accepted the
assignment and (if no unwaived Event of Default has
occurred) Borrower shall have consented to the assignment,
which acceptance and consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

18.4.1.2. Each such assignment shall be of a constant, and
not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement.

18.4.1.3. For each assignment involving the issuance and
transfer of Notes, the assigning Lender shall execute an
Assignment and Acceptance in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 18.4.1 together with any Note subject to such
assignment and pay Administrative Agent a processing fee of
$3,500.

18.4.1.4. The minimum Commitment which shall be assigned
(which shall include the applicable portion of the assigning
Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment and Letter of Credit
Commitment (and in the case of Administrative Agent, the
Swingline Commitment)) is $10,000,000 (or $5,000,000 in the
case of an assignment from one existing Lender to another)
or such lesser amount which constitutes such Lender's entire
Commitment; provided, however, that no such minimum shall
apply between a Lender and its Affiliates.

18.4.1.5. The assignee shall have an office located in the
United States and is otherwise an Eligible Assignee.

Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and
Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to
the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and
benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to
the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released
from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the consummation
of any assignment pursuant to this Section, the assignor,
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate
arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the
assignor and the assignee. If the assignee is not incorporated under
the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
certification as to the exemption from deduction or withholding of
Taxes in accordance with Section 4.14.4. The assignee shall also
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the
certifications required pursuant to Section 4.14.9 or 4.14.10, as
applicable.

18.4.2. Register; Consequences and Effect of Assignments. From and
after the effective date specified in any Assignment and Acceptance,
the assignee shall be deemed and treated as a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
and under the Notes held by the assignor have been assigned or

negotiated to the assignee pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, to have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
as fully as if such assignee had been named as a Lender in this
Agreement and of a holder of such Notes, and the assignor shall,
to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder or under such
Notes have been assigned or negotiated by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released
from its future obligations under this Agreement.

18.4.3. Agreement of Assignee and Assignor. By executing and
delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor thereunder and
the assignee confirm to and agree with each other and the other
parties hereto substantially as follows: (i) the assignment made
under such Assignment and Acceptance is made under such Assignment
and Acceptance without recourse; (ii) such assignor makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of any Covered Person or the
performance or observance by any Covered Person of any of its Loan
Obligations; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a
copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the Financial
Statements and such other Loan ocuments and other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;
(iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon
Administrative Agent, such assignor, or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it deems appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and
authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it
will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations
which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by
it as a Lender and a holder of a Note.

18.4.4. Register of Assignments. The Administrative Agent shall
maintain at its address referred to herein a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of Loans owing
to, each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and
Acceptance executed by the parties thereto, together with any Note
subject to such assignment and payment of the processing fee, the
Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has
been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit 18.4.1
hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt
notice thereof to the parties thereto.

18.4.5. Notice to Borrower of Assignment. Upon its receipt of an
Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender, if
Administrative Agent proposes to accept the assignment contemplated
thereby, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
Borrower requesting the consent of Borrower to such assignment,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being
understood that Borrower may withhold consent if such assignment
would subject Borrower to the payment of additional amounts pursuant
to Section 4.12 or 4.14. Upon such consent, Borrower shall execute
and deliver replacement Notes to the assignor and assignee as
requested by Administrative Agent and necessary to give effect to
the assignment. If Borrower fails or refuses to execute and deliver
such replacement Notes after having given such consent,
Administrative Agent may, as agent and attorney-in-fact for
Borrower, execute and deliver such replacement Notes on behalf of
Borrower. Borrower hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its
agent and attorney-in-fact for such purpose and acknowledges that
such power is coupled with an interest and therefore irrevocable.
Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to Borrower or
anyone else, including any Lender, as a consequence of exercising
such power in any instance.

18.4.6. Assignment to Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign
and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation
A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank.
No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its
obligations hereunder.

18.4.7. Information. Any Lender or Administrative Agent may furnish
any information concerning the Borrower, any other Covered Person or
any of their Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender or
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, from time to time to
assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and
participants) provided that any such assignee or participant shall
first have agreed to be bound by confidentiality and nondisclosure
covenants in form and substance substantially similar to those in
Section 13.18.

18.4.8. Sale of Participations. Each Lender may sell participations
to one or more Persons (other than the Borrower or an Affiliate of
the Borrower) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and its Loans); provided, however, 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, (iii) the participant shall
be entitled to the benefit of the yield protection provisions
contained in Article 4.9 and the right of set-off contained in
Section 16.2.3, (iv) the amount of the participation shall be in a
minimum amount of $1,000,000 or such lesser amount which constitutes
such Lender's entire Commitment, provided, however, that no such
minimum amount shall apply to participations between any of Lenders
or between any Lender and any of its Affiliates; and (v) the
Borrower, the other Lenders and the Administrative
Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the

sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to
its Loans, Advances and its Notes and to approve any amendment,
modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (it
being understood that this shall not affect any rights of such
Lender or its participant as between each other with respect to
amendments, modifications, or waivers that (i) decrease the amount
of principal of the Loans, (ii) reduce the rate at which interest is
payable on the Loans, or (iii) extend the final maturity of the
Notes or the expiration date of any Letter of Credit, or (iv)
increase its Commitment if such increase is to be shared by any such
participant). Notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) the sale of any
such participations which require Borrower to file a registration
statement with the SEC or under the securities Laws of any state
shall not be permitted, and (y) the sale by any Lender of
participations aggregating 50% or more of its Commitments and
with respect to which the right of such Lender solely to approve
any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement requires the consent of or approval of such participants
shall require the consent of Domestic Borrower, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

18.5. Payment of Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse to
Administrative Agent all of Administrative Agent's reasonable out-of-pocket
costs incurred in connection with: Administrative Agent's due diligence
review before execution of the Loan Documents; the negotiation and
preparation of proposals, a commitment letter and the Loan Documents; the
syndication of the Loans; the administration of this Agreement, the Loan
Documents, the Loans, and the Letters of Credit; the perfection of
Administrative Agent's Security Interests in the Collateral; the
interpretation of any of the Loan Documents; the enforcement of
Administrative Agent's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents after a
Default or Event of Default; any amendment of or supplementation to any of
the Loan Documents; and any waiver, consent or forbearance with respect to
any Default or Event of Default. Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse to
each Lender all of such Lender's reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in
connection with the enforcement of such Lender's rights and remedies under
the Loan Documents after a Default or Event of Default. Administrative
Agent's reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs may include but are
not limited to the following, to the extent they are actually paid or
incurred by Administrative Agent: the cost of searches for Security
Interests and judgments existing against Covered Persons; recording and
filing fees; recording taxes; appraisal fees; environmental consultant
fees; litigation costs; and all attorneys' and paralegals' expenses and
reasonable fees. Attorneys' and paralegals' expenses may include but are
not limited to filing charges; telephone, data transmission, facsimile and
other communication costs; courier and other delivery charges; and
photocopying charges. Litigation costs may include but are not limited to:
filing fees, deposition costs, expert witness fees, expenses of service of
process, and other such costs paid or incurred in any administrative,
arbitration, or court proceedings involving a Lender and any Covered
Person, including proceedings under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. All costs
which Borrower is obligated to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent or
such Lender are Loan Obligations payable to Administrative Agent or such
Lender and are payable on demand by Administrative Agent or such Lender.

18.6. General Indemnity.

18.6.1. Borrower (each an "Indemnifying Party") agree to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender
and each of their affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and
advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all
claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by or asserted or
awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of
or in connection with or by reason of (including in connection with
any investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of
defense in connection therewith) (i) the Loan Documents, (ii)
any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (including any Permitted
Acquisition), (iii) the manufacture, storage, transportation,
release or disposal of any Hazardous Material on, from, over or
affecting any of the assets, properties, or operations of any
Covered Person or any predecessor in interest, directly or
indirectly (collectively, "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided,
however, that no Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder with
respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of, or the willful breach of a
material provision of the Loan Documents by, the party seeking
indemnification, (ii) legal proceedings commenced against the
Administrative Agent or any Lender by any security holder or
creditor thereof arising solely out of and based solely upon rights
afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity
as such, (iii) any Tax imposed upon the Administrative Agent or any
Lender as a consequence of its failure to comply with Sections
4.14.4, 4.14.9, or 4.14.10, or (v) Taxes imposed and costs and
expenses incurred as a result of a transfer or assignment of any
Note or some or all of its rights hereunder or a participation
therein. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other
proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by an Indemnified Party or any
other Person, or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party
thereto, and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated.

18.6.2. An Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the
Indemnifying Party promptly after the Indemnified Party receives
actual notice of any claim, action, suit, loss, cost, liability,
damage or expense incurred or instituted for which the indemnifica-
tion is sought. If requested by the Indemnifying Party in writing,
the Indemnified Party shall contest at the sole expense of the
Borrowers the validity, applicability and/or amount of such suit,
action, or cause of action to the extent such contest may be con-
ducted in good faith on legally supportable grounds; provided,
however, that if there is an Existing Default or if the Indemnifying
Party fails to deposit promptly with Administrative Agent, upon the
Indemnified Party's request therefor, funds in an amount sufficient
to pay the reasonably anticipated cost of such contest, then the
Indemnified Party shall not be required to do so; and if an Event of
Default occurs after such contest is undertaken, the Indemnified
Party may discontinue or settle the contest in such reasonable
manner as it deems appropriate and may apply any unexpended funds so
deposited to the payment of any such settlement and remit the
remainder (if any) to Administrative Agent for application to the
Loan Obligations as provided herein.

18.6.3. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any
party entitled to the benefit of indemnity under this Section 18.6,
the Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable (and in any event within
20 days after the service of any citation or summons). Not-
withstanding the foregoing, the failure so to notify the
Indemnifying Party as provided in this Section will not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this
Section 18.6. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing
to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party is obligated
under the terms of its indemnity under this Section 18.6 in
connection with such lawsuit or action and if the Indemnified Party
so agrees and there is no Existing Default, the Indemnifying Party
may take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit
or action and engage counsel of its own choice reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, at the
Indemnifying Party's sole cost, risk and expense, provided that the
engagement of such counsel by the Indemnifying Party would not
present a conflict of interest which would prevent such counsel from
effectively defending such action on behalf of the Indemnified
Party. If at any time thereafter, (i) the defendants in, or targets
of, any such lawsuit or action include both the Indemnified Party
and Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably
concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it that are
different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
party, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of
the lawsuit or action or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnified Party, in either case in a timely manner, or
(iii) the Indemnifying Party and its counsel do not prosecute the
defense with diligence and in good faith, or (iv) an Event of
Default occurs, then the Indemnified Party may take control of such
lawsuit or action and employ separate counsel to represent or defend
it in any such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall
pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel. The party not
controlling such lawsuit or action shall cooperate (with all out of
pocket costs and expenses associated therewith to be paid by the
Indemnifying Party) in all reasonable respects with the party
controlling such lawsuit or action and its attorneys in the
investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any
appeal arising therefrom. If no Event of Default has occurred, the
Indemnified Party shall not settle such lawsuit or enforcement
action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
In no event shall the Indemnifying Party settle such lawsuit or
enforcement action without the written consent of the Indemnified
Party.

18.6.4. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 18.6 shall
survive the termination of the Commitments, the expiration of the
Letters of Credit, the indefeasible full payment and satisfaction of
all of the Loan Obligations, and the release of the Collateral.

18.6.5. To the extent that any of the indemnities required from
Borrower under this Section are unenforceable because they violate
any Law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum amount
which it is permitted to pay under applicable Law.

18.6.6. Borrower may not assert any claim against the Administra-
tive Agent, any Lender, any of their affiliates, or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, and
advisers, on any theory of liability, for special,

indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or
otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, any of the transactions
contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of
the Loans.

18.7. Letters of Credit. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary of any of the Letters of Credit. Neither
Letter of Credit Issuer, Administrative Agent, or any Lender nor any of
their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, or representatives
shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of any of
the Letters of Credit or for any acts or omissions of beneficiary in
connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of
documents, or of any endorsement(s) thereon, even if such documents should
in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by Letter of Credit Issuer against
presentation of documents which, on their face, appear to comply with the
terms of any Letter of Credit, even though such documents may fail to bear
any reference or adequate reference to any such Letter of Credit; or (d)
any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment
under any Letter of Credit in connection with which Letter of Credit Issuer
would, pursuant to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary
Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No.
500 (as amended from time to time), be absolved from liability. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Letter of Credit Issuer
may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary.

18.8. Currency Indemnity. If under any Law, whether as a result of a
judgment against Borrower or any other Covered Person or any Guarantor or
the liquidation of Borrower, any other Covered Person, or any Guarantor or
for any other reason, any payment to (or for the benefit of) the
Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in connection with the Loan
Documents is made or is recovered in a currency other than that which it is
required to be paid, then, to the extent that such payment (when converted
at the rate of exchange on the date of payment) falls short of the amount
unpaid under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall as a separate and
independent obligation fully indemnify Administrative Agent and the Lenders
against the amount of the shortfall; and for the purposes of this Section
"rate of exchange" means the rate at which Administrative Agent or such
Lender is able on the relevant date to purchase the currency in which the
payment is required to be paid with the currency in which the payment is in
fact made or recovered. This provision shall not be construed as a consent
by Administrative Agent or any Lender to payment in any currency other than
the currency in which payment is required to be made under the applicable
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. To the extent
that such payment (when so converted) exceeds the amount of the applicable
Loan Obligation, such excess shall be applied in accordance with Sections
16.3, 16.4 or 17.10, as appropriate.

18.9. Changes in Accounting Principles. If any Covered Person, at the end
of its fiscal year and with the concurrence of its independent certified
public accountants, changes the method of valuing the Inventory of such
Covered Person, or if any other changes in accounting principles from those
used in the preparation of any of the Financial Statements are required by
or result from the promulgation of principles, rules, regulations,
guidelines, pronouncements or opinions by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public

Accountants (or successors thereto or bodies with similar functions), and
any of such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of, or
affect the results of such calculation of, any of the financial covenants,
standards or terms found herein, then the parties hereto agree to enter
into and diligently pursue negotiations in order to amend such financial
covenants, standards or terms so as to equitably reflect such changes, with
the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition
and results of operations of such Covered Person shall be the same after
such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, that
until such changes are made, all financial covenants herein and all the
provisions hereof which contemplate financial calculation hereunder shall
remain in full force and effect.

18.10. Records. The date and amount of all Advances to Borrower and
payments of amounts due from Borrower under the Loan Documents will be
recorded in the records that Administrative Agent normally maintains for
such types of transactions. The failure to record, or any error in
recording, any of the foregoing shall not, however, affect the obligation
of Borrower to repay the Loans and other amounts payable under the Loan
Documents. Borrower shall have the burden of proving that such records are
not correct. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent's and any Lender's

another similar or different instance. No failure by Administrative Agent
or any Lender to exercise, and no delay by Administrative Agent or any
Lender in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by
Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder preclude any other exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other
right, remedy, power or privilege existing under any Law or otherwise.

19.3. Rights Cumulative. Each of the rights and remedies of Administrative
Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement shall be in addition to all of
its other rights and remedies under applicable Law, and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as limiting any such rights or remedies.

19.4. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and, subject to and as provided
in Section 18.4, all future holders of the Notes and their respective
successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign, delegate or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
With respect to Borrower's successors and

assigns, such successors and assigns shall include any receiver, trustee or
debtor-in-possession of or for Borrower.

19.5. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited,
unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or lack of authorization without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or
legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction unless the
ineffectiveness of such provision would result in such a material change as
to cause completion of the transactions contemplated hereby to be
unreasonable.

19.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto
on any number of separate counterparts, and all such counterparts taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be
necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more
than one counterpart signed by the party to be charged.

19.7. Governing Law; No Third Party Rights. This Agreement, the Notes and
the other Loan Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder and thereunder shall be governed by and construed and interpreted
in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Missouri applicable to
contracts made and to be performed wholly within such state, without regard
to choice or conflicts of law principles. This Agreement is solely for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, and no other Person shall have any right, benefit, priority or
interest under, or because of the existence of, this Agreement.

19.8. Counterpart Facsimile Execution. For purposes of this Agreement, a
document (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by facsimile
machine or telecopier is to be treated as an original document. The
signature of any Person thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered
as an original signature, and the document transmitted is to be considered
to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original
document. At the request of any party hereto, any facsimile or telecopy
document is to be re-executed in original form by the Persons who executed
the facsimile or telecopy document. No party hereto may raise the use of a
facsimile machine or telecopier or the fact that any signature was
transmitted through the use of a facsimile or telecopier machine as a
defense to the enforcement of this Agreement or any amendment or other
document executed in compliance with this Section.

19.9. No Other Agreements. There are no other agreements between
Administrative Agent, Lenders, and Borrower, oral or written, concerning
the subject matter of the Loan Documents, and all prior agreements
concerning the same subject matter, including any proposal or commitment
letter, are merged into the Loan Documents and thereby extinguished.

19.10. Negotiated Transaction; No Fiduciary Duty. Borrower, Administrative
Agent and each Lender represent each to the others that in the negotiation
and drafting of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents they have been
represented by and have relied upon the advice of counsel of their choice.
Borrower and Administrative Agent affirm that their counsel have both had
substantial roles in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and
each Lender affirms that its counsel has participated in the drafting and
negotiation of this Agreement; therefore, this Agreement will be deemed
drafted by all of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders, and

the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafter will not be employed in the interpretation of
this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor
any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to
Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, in
connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor, and
that no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders,
among the Borrower and the Lenders, or between Borrower and Administrative
Agent.
