2.1. COMMITMENT.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement,
each of the Banks severally agrees to lend to the Borrowers and the Borrowers
may borrow, repay, and reborrow from time to time between the Closing Date and
the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date upon notice by the applicable Borrower
to the Agent given in accordance with Section 2.6, such sums in Dollars and/or
at the applicable Borrower's option from time to time, subject to Section 2.9
hereof, in an Optional Currency, as are requested by the applicable Borrower up
to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts
requested) at any one time equal to such Bank's Commitment minus such Bank's
Commitment Percentage of the sum of the Maximum Drawing Amount, all Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations and Bankers' Acceptances then outstanding, provided
that the sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after
giving effect to all amounts requested) plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all
Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the aggregate amount of Bankers'
Acceptances then outstanding shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment.
The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Bank's
Commitment Percentage; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, with respect to any Multicurrency Loan which is not
also a Foreign Loan, the Commitment Percentage of each Non-Multicurrency Bank
shall be funded to the applicable Borrower by the Fronting Bank (with each
Non-Multicurrency Bank hereby agreeing to participate in the risk associated
with such Multicurrency Loan in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof), with each
Non-Multicurrency Bank having no obligation or commitment to fund in any
Optional Currency; and provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, with respect to any Foreign Loan, the Commitment
Percentage of each Bank shall be funded to the

-24-
34

applicable Borrower by the Fronting Bank (with each Bank agreeing to participate
in the risk associated with such Foreign Loan in accordance with Section 2.10
hereof). Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a
representation and warranty by the requesting Borrower that the conditions set
forth in Section 12 and Section 13, in the case of the initial Revolving Credit
Loans to be made on the Closing Date, and Section 13, in the case of all other
Revolving Credit Loans, have been satisfied on the date of such request. Each
Base Rate Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Each Eurocurrency Rate Loan
shall be denominated in Dollars, or, subject to Section 2.9 hereof, in an
Optional Currency.

2.2. COMMITMENT FEE. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay
to the Agent for the accounts of the Banks in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages a commitment fee calculated at the applicable Commitment
Fee Rate on the average daily amount during each calendar quarter or portion
thereof from the date hereof to the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date by which
the Total Commitment minus the sum of the Maximum Drawing Amount, all Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations and the aggregate face amount of all outstanding
Bankers' Acceptances exceeds the outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans
during such calendar quarter. The commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding
calendar quarter commencing on the first such date following the date hereof,
with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or any earlier date
on which the Commitments shall terminate.

2.3. REDUCTION OF TOTAL COMMITMENT.

2.3.1. OPTIONAL REDUCTION. The Company shall have the right at
any time and from time to time upon seven (7) Business Days prior
written notice to the Agent to reduce by $5,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or terminate entirely the
Total Commitment, whereupon the Commitments of the Banks shall be
reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may
be, terminated. Promptly after receiving any notice of the Company
delivered pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Agent will notify the Banks
of the substance thereof. Upon the effective date of any such reduction
or termination, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the respective
accounts of the Banks the full amount of any commitment fee then
accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of
the Commitments may be reinstated.

2.3.2. MANDATORY REDUCTION. The Total Commitment shall be
automatically and irrevocable reduced pursuant to the requirements of
Section 10.5.2 on the dates and in the amounts (the "Asset Reduction
Amount") required by Section 10.5.2. Upon such a reduction in the Total
Commitment pursuant to Section 10.5.2, the Commitment of each Bank
shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with its Commitment Percentage
of the Asset Reduction Amount. If, on the date of such reduction, the
sum of the outstanding

-25-

amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount
plus all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations plus the aggregate face
amount of all outstanding Bankers' Acceptances exceeds the Total
Commitment in effect after giving effect to the reduction of the Total
Commitment that occurred on such date pursuant to this Section 2.3.2,
then the Borrowers shall immediately pay the amounts of such excess to
the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks for application
first to the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, second, to the Revolving
Credit Loans, and third to provide to the Agent cash collateral for
Reimbursement Obligations as contemplated by Section 5.2.

2.4. THE REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be
evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrowers in substantially the
form of Exhibit A hereto (each a "Revolving Credit Note"), dated as of the
Closing Date and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit
Note shall be payable to the order of each Bank in a principal amount equal to
such Bank's Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving
Credit Loans made by such Bank, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth
below. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Bank to make or cause to be
made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or
at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Bank's Revolving
Credit Note, an appropriate notation on such Bank's Record reflecting the making
of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such
payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on such
Bank's Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof
owing and unpaid to such Bank, but the failure to record, or any error in so
recording, any such amount on such Bank's Record shall not limit or otherwise
affect the joint and several obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any
Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any
Revolving Credit Note when due.

2.5. INTEREST ON REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. Except as otherwise provided
in Section 6.10,

commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of
the Interest Period with respect thereto at the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin.

period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last
day of the Interest Period with respect thereto at the Eurocurrency
Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

interest on each Revolving Credit Loan in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date with respect thereto.

absolute discretion, elect to fund all future Revolving Credit Loans to
such Borrower as Foreign Loans, subject to the terms of Section 2.10
hereof. In the event the Fronting Bank elects to be the Fronting Bank

determination as to the applicable Borrower's statements contained in
any Foreign Loan Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Credit Agreement, the provisions of Section 6.2.2
shall apply in all respects to all Foreign Loans.

of a Revolving Credit Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the applicable Borrower
shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice
of such election; (b) with respect to any such conversion of a Base

such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest

Default has occurred and is continuing. On the date on which such
conversion is being made each Bank shall take such action as is
necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving
Credit Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its Eurocurrency Lending
Office, as the case may be. All or any part of outstanding Revolving
Credit Loans denominated in Dollars of any Type may be converted into a
Revolving Credit Loan of another Type as provided herein, provided that
any partial conversion shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each
Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Revolving Credit
Loan to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the applicable
Borrower.

Revolving Credit Loan of any Type may be continued as a Revolving
Credit Loan of the same Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period
with respect thereto by compliance by the applicable Borrower with the
notice provisions contained in Section 2.7.1; provided that (a) as to
any Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, no such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be
automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the
first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of
any Default or Event of Default of which officers of the Agent active
upon the applicable Borrower's account have actual knowledge; and (b)
as to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in an Optional Currency,
no such Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued as such when a Default
or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or the provisions of
Section 2.9 hereof have not or cannot be met at the time of such
continuation, but shall be repaid by the relevant Borrower on the last
day of the Interest Period relating thereto. In the event that the
applicable Borrower fails to provide any such notice with respect to
the continuation of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan as such, then (a) such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars shall be automatically
converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the

-28-

first Interest Period relating thereto and (b) as to any Eurocurrency

Interest Period shall not be less than $5,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate
Loan denominated in an Optional Currency, that whole number which is
nearest to the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof, rounded to the nearest one thousandth).

2.8. FUNDS FOR REVOLVING CREDIT LOAN.

2.8.1. FUNDING PROCEDURES FOR REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS
DENOMINATED IN DOLLARS. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the
proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans to be denominated
in Dollars and which is not a Foreign Loan, each of the Banks will make
available to the Agent to credit to the applicable Borrower's account
in Same Day Funds, the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of
the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Loans at the Agent's Head
Office. Upon receipt from each Bank of such amount, and upon receipt of
the documents required by Sections 12 and 13 and the satisfaction of
the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the
Agent will make available to the applicable Borrower the aggregate
amount of such Revolving Credit Loans made available to the Agent by
the Banks. The failure or refusal of any Bank to make available to the
Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount
of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loans
shall not relieve any other Bank from its several obligation hereunder
to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Bank's
Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loans.

2.8.2. ADVANCES BY AGENT. The Agent may, unless notified to
the contrary by any Bank prior to a Drawdown Date, assume that such
Bank has made available to the Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount
of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to
be made on such Drawdown Date, and the Agent may (but it shall not be
required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Bank makes available to the
Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date, such Bank shall
pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (a) the
average computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the
Overnight

-29-
39

Rate for each day included in such period, times (b) the amount of such
Bank's Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans, times (c)
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse
from and including such Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount
of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans
shall become immediately available to the Agent, and the denominator of
which is 365. A statement of the Agent submitted to such Bank with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be prima facie
evidence of the amount due and owing to the Agent by such Bank. If the
amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit
Loans is not made available to the Agent by such Bank within three (3)
Business Days following such Drawdown Date, the Agent shall be entitled
to recover such amount from the applicable Borrower on demand, with
interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving
Credit Loans made on such Drawdown Date.

2.8.3. FUNDING PROCEDURES FOR MULTICURRENCY LOANS AND FOREIGN
LOANS. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the proposed Drawdown
Date of any (a) Multicurrency Loan which is not also a Foreign Loan,
(i) each of the Multicurrency Banks will make available to the Agent at
its local office in Nassau, Bahamas in Same Day Funds the amount of
such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested
Multicurrency Loans and (ii) the Fronting Bank shall make available to
the Agent at its local office in Nassau, Bahamas the amount of such
Multicurrency Loans made or to be made on such date corresponding to
the aggregate Commitment Percentages of the Non-Multicurrency Banks;
and (b) Foreign Loan, the Fronting Bank shall make available to the
Agent at its local office in Nassau, Bahamas the amount of such Foreign
Loans made or to be made on such date corresponding to the aggregate
Commitment Percentages of the Banks. Upon receipt from each of the
applicable Banks (including the Fronting Bank) of such amounts, and
upon receipt of the documents required by Sections 12 and 13 and the
satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent
applicable, the Agent will make available to the applicable Borrower
the aggregate amount of (a) in the case of Multicurrency Loans which
are not also Foreign Loans, such Multicurrency Loans made available to
the Agent by the Multicurrency Banks and the Fronting Bank, and (b) in
the case of Foreign Loans, such or Foreign Loans made available to the
Agent by the Fronting Bank. In the case of Multicurrency Loans which
are not also Foreign Loans, the failure or refusal of any Multicurrency
Bank or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, to make available to the
Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount
of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Multicurrency Loans (or,
in the case of the Fronting Bank, the aggregate amount of the
Non-Multicurrency Bank's Commitment Percentages of the requested
Multicurrency Loans) shall not relieve any other Multicurrency Bank or
the Fronting Bank from its several obligation hereunder to make
available to the Agent the amount of such other Multicurrency Bank's
Commitment Percentage or, with respect to

-30-

the Fronting Bank, the aggregate Commitment Percentages of the
Non-Multicurrency Banks, of any requested Multicurrency Loans.

2.8.4. ADVANCES BY AGENT FOR MULTICURRENCY LOANS. The Agent
may, unless notified to the contrary by any Multicurrency Bank or the
Fronting Bank prior to a Drawdown Date of a Multicurrency Loan which is
not also a Foreign Loan, assume that (a) such Multicurrency Bank has
made available to the Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of such
Multicurrency Bank's Commitment Percentage of the Multicurrency Loans
to be made on such Drawdown Date and (b) that the Fronting Bank has
made available to the Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of the
aggregate Commitment Percentages of the Non-Multicurrency Banks of such
Multicurrency Loans to be made on such Drawdown Date, and the Agent may
(but it shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If
any Multicurrency Bank or Fronting Bank, as the case may be, makes
available to the Agent such amount on a date after such Drawdown Date,
such Multicurrency Bank or the Fronting Bank, as the case may be, shall
pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (a) the
average computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the
Overnight Rate for each day included in such period, times (b) the
amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage or, with respect to the
Fronting Bank, the aggregate Commitment Percentages of the
Non-Multicurrency Banks, of such Multicurrency Loans times (c) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from
and including such Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount of
such Bank's Commitment Percentage or, with respect to the Fronting
Bank, the aggregate Commitment Percentages of the Non-Multicurrency
Banks, of such Revolving Credit Loans shall become immediately
available to the Agent, and the denominator of which is 365. A
statement of the Agent submitted to such Multicurrency Bank or the
Fronting Bank, as the case may be, with respect to any amounts owing
under this paragraph shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due
and owing to the Agent by such Multicurrency Bank or the Fronting Bank.
If the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage or, with respect to
the Fronting Bank, the aggregate Commitment Percentages of the
Non-Multicurrency Banks, of such Revolving Credit Loans is not made
available to the Agent by such Bank within three (3) Business Days
following such Drawdown Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover
such amount from the applicable Borrower on demand, with interest
thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Multicurrency Loans
made on such Drawdown Date.

2.8.5. ADVANCES BY AGENT FOR FOREIGN LOANS. The Agent may,
unless notified to the contrary by the Fronting Bank prior to a
Drawdown Date, assume that the Fronting Bank has made available to the
Agent on such Drawdown Date the amount of the aggregate Commitment
Percentages of the Banks of such Foreign Loans to be made on such
Drawdown Date, and the Agent may (but it shall not be required to), in
reliance upon such

-31-
41

assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding
amount. If the Fronting Bank makes available to the Agent such amount
on a date after such Drawdown Date, the Fronting Bank shall pay to the
Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (a) the average
computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the
Overnight Rate for each day included in such period, times (b) the
amount of such Foreign Loans times (c) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days that elapse from and including such
Drawdown Date to the date on which the amount of such Foreign Loans
shall become immediately available to the Agent, and the denominator of
which is 365. A statement of the Agent submitted to the Fronting Bank
with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be prima
facie evidence of the amount due and owing to the Agent by the Fronting
Bank. If the amount of such Foreign Loans is not made available to the
Agent by such Bank within three (3) Business Days following such
Drawdown Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from
the applicable Borrower on demand, with interest thereon at the rate
per annum applicable to the Foreign Loans made on such Drawdown Date.

2.9. OPTIONAL CURRENCIES.

2.9.1. REQUEST FOR OPTIONAL CURRENCY. Subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.1., any Borrower may, upon at least
three (3) Business Days' notice to the Agent (an "OC Notice"), request
that one or more Revolving Credit Loans be made in an Optional
Currency, provided that any Revolving Credit Loan proposed to be made
under this Section 2.9.1 shall be in an amount not less than
$5,000,000, or a greater amount which is an integral multiple of
$2,000,000, or the Dollar Equivalent in an Optional Currency. Each OC
Notice requesting a Revolving Credit Loan in an Optional Currency shall
be by written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing by the
applicable Borrower), specifying (a) the Revolving Credit Loan to be
made, (b) the requested Drawdown Date of the proposed borrowing of such
Revolving Credit Loan, (c) the requested Optional Currency in which the
Revolving Credit Loan is to be made, (d) the initial Interest Period
for the Revolving Credit Loan to be borrowed, and (e) the account (and
all necessary funding information pertaining thereto) of the Borrower
to which the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loan are to be disbursed.
If the Agent, on or prior to any Drawdown Date, determines (which
determination shall be conclusive) that the requested Optional Currency
no longer meets the criteria set forth in the definition of "Optional
Currency", then such notification shall be given immediately by the
Agent to the applicable Borrower, and the requested Revolving Credit
Loan shall instead be denominated in Dollars. Subject to the foregoing
and to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of Section 12 (in
the case of such Revolving Credit Loans to be made on the Closing Date)
and Section 13, each Revolving Credit Loan requested to be made in an
Optional Currency will be made on the Drawdown Date specified therefor
in the OC Notice, in the currency requested in the OC Notice and, upon
being so made, will have the Interest Period requested in the OC
Notice.

-32-

2.9.2. EXCHANGE RATE. Except as provided in the definition of
Dollar Equivalent, for purposes of this Credit Agreement the amount in
one Optional Currency which shall be equivalent on any particular date
to a specified amount in another Optional Currency shall be that amount
(as conclusively ascertained by the Agent by its normal banking
practices, absent manifest error) in the first Optional Currency which
is or could be purchased by the Agent (in accordance with normal
banking practices) with such specified amount in the second Optional
Currency in any recognized Eurocurrency Interbank Market selected by
the Agent in good faith for delivery on such date at the spot rate of
exchange prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) (or as soon thereafter
as practicable) on such date.

2.9.3. MULTIPLE DENOMINATIONS. In the event that any portion
of the funds available under the terms of this Credit Agreement is
denominated in one or more Optional Currencies, the Dollar Equivalent
of such portion of the funds shall be calculated pursuant to the
definition of "Dollar Equivalent". The amount so determined shall then
be added to the amount already outstanding in Dollars for the purpose
of determining the remaining availability of funds under Section 2.1
and Section 2.9.1 hereof and any required repayments under the
following Section 2.9.4.

2.9.4. REPAYMENT. If at any time prior to the Revolving Credit
Loan Maturity Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal
amount outstanding of all Revolving Credit Loans hereunder shall exceed
the Total Commitment by more than five percent (5%) as a result of
fluctuations in respective currency conversion rates for three (3) or
more consecutive Business Days, the applicable Borrower shall pay or
cause to be paid immediately in Same Day Funds, upon demand made by the
Agent, such amounts as are sufficient to eliminate such excess and to
reduce the aggregate principal amount outstanding to the Dollar
Equivalent in the applicable currencies of the Total Commitment. In the
event there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding which are
denominated in an Optional Currency, the Agent shall provide the Banks
and Borrowers with calculations on the last day of each calendar month
in which such Revolving Credit Loans in Optional Currencies are
outstanding as to the amount in Dollar Equivalents of such Revolving
Credit Loans.

2.9.5. FUNDING. Each Bank may make any Revolving Credit Loan
denominated in an Optional Currency by causing its Eurocurrency Lending
Office or any of its foreign branches or foreign affiliates to make
such Revolving Credit Loan (whether or not such lending office, branch
or affiliate is named as a lending office on the signature pages
hereof); provided that in such event the obligation of the applicable
Borrower to repay such Revolving Credit Loan shall nevertheless be to
such Bank and shall, for all purposes of this Credit Agreement
(including without limitation for purposes of the definition of the
term "Majority Banks") be deemed made by

-33-

such Bank to the extent of such Revolving Credit Loan, for the account
of such applicable lending office, branch or affiliate.

2.10. FRONTING PROVISIONS.

2.10.1. APPLICATION OF INTEREST PAYMENTS. (a) As promptly as
is practicable following each date upon which the Agent receives a
payment of interest under this Credit Agreement on account of any
Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars (other than a Foreign
Loan) made to any Borrower, the Agent shall distribute such amount to
the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.

(b) As promptly as is practicable following each date upon
which the Agent receives a payment of interest under this Credit
Agreement on account of any Multicurrency Loans or any Foreign Loan, as
the case may be, the Agent shall distribute (i) in the case of a
payment of interest on account of any Multicurrency Loan which is not
also a Foreign Loan, to (A) each Multicurrency Bank an amount equal to
such Multicurrency Bank's Commitment Percentage of such amount and (B)
the Fronting Bank an amount equal to the sum of the Commitment
Percentages of the Non-Multicurrency Banks of such amount; and (ii) in
the case of a payment of interest on account of any Foreign Loan, such
amount to the Fronting Bank. In the case of a payment on a
Multicurrency Loan, promptly upon receipt of such amount, the Fronting
Bank shall convert into Dollars (based upon the actual exchange rate
then applicable to the Fronting Bank) the amount equal to the portion
of such interest payment which constitutes the Applicable Margin
thereof (or, with respect to each Bank which funded the purchase of a
participating interest in such Multicurrency Loan pursuant to Section
2.10.2, such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the full amount of such
interest payment applicable to the period commencing upon such
funding). In consideration of the agreement of (a) the
Non-Multicurrency Banks to purchase a participating interest in the
Multicurrency Loans which are not also a Foreign Loan and (b) the Banks
to purchase participating interests in the Foreign Loans, as the case
may be, the Fronting Bank hereby agrees to pay to the Agent, for the
ratable accounts of each Non-Multicurrency Bank as it relates to a
Multicurrency Loan which is not also a Foreign Loan and each Bank as it
relates to a Foreign Loan, a risk participation fee in an amount equal
to the proceeds received by the Fronting Bank from such conversion to
Dollars (if comprising a Multicurrency Loan) or, in the case of a
Foreign Loan denominated in Dollars, in an amount equal to the portion
of such interest payment which constitutes the Applicable Margin
thereof (other than any such proceeds payable for the account of any
Delinquent Bank, which proceeds shall be retained by the Fronting Bank
for its own account); provided, however, that with respect to each
Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which are
not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) which
has funded the purchase of participating interests in the extensions of
credit on account of which such

-34-

interest was paid pursuant to Section 2.10.2, the Fronting Bank shall
instead pay to the Agent, for the account of such Non-Multicurrency
Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign
Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) which has so funded
such purchase, the amount equal to such Non-Multicurrency Bank's (as it
relates to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and
Bank's (as it relates to Foreign Loans) Commitment Percentage of the
proceeds received by the Fronting Bank from such conversion. Such
amount shall be payable to the Agent in Dollars on the date upon which
the Fronting Bank receives the proceeds of such conversion.

2.10.2. CURRENCY CONVERSIONS AND CONTINGENT FUNDING AGREEMENT.
(a) Each of the Non-Multicurrency Banks (as it relates to Multicurrency
Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and the Banks (as its relates
to Foreign Loans) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to
purchase (in Dollars) an undivided participating interest in its
ratable share, determined by reference to its Commitment Percentage, of
all Multicurrency Loans or Foreign Loans, as the case may be, made by
the Fronting Bank as the Agent may at any time request, provided that:

(i) the Agent and the Fronting Bank hereby agree
that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a
Fronting Loan Event has occurred, such Persons will not request any
such purchase of participating interests; and

(ii) in the event that any Event of Default specified
in Section Section 14.1(g) or (h) shall have occurred with respect to
any Borrowers, each of the Non-Multicurrency Banks (as it relates to
Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and the Banks (as
it relates to Foreign Loans) shall be deemed to have purchased,
automatically and without request, such participating interest in the
Multicurrency Loans and Foreign Loans made by the Fronting Bank to the
applicable Borrower.

Any such request shall be made in writing to each
Non-Multicurrency and each Bank, as the case may be, and shall specify
the amount of Dollars (and in the case of a Multicurrency Loan, based
upon the actual exchange rate at which the Agent anticipates being able
to obtain the relevant Optional Currency on the relevant date, with any
excess payment being refunded to the Non-Multicurrency Banks (as it
relates to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and
the Banks (as its relates to Foreign Loans) and any deficiency
remaining payable by the Non-Multicurrency Banks (as it relates to
Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and the Banks (as
it relates to Foreign Loans)) required from such Non-Multicurrency Bank
(as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans)
and such Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) in order to effect the
purchase by such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency
Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and such Bank (as it relates to
Foreign Loans) of

-35-

a participating interest in the amount equal to its Commitment
Percentage times the aggregate then outstanding principal amount (and
in the case of a Multicurrency Loan, in the applicable Optional
Currency) of the Multicurrency Loans and Foreign Loans which have been
fronted by the Fronting Bank. Promptly upon receipt of such request,
each Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which
are not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans)
shall deliver to the Agent (in Same Day Funds) the amount so specified
by the Agent. In the case of a Multicurrency Loan, the Agent shall
convert such amounts into the relevant Optional Currency and shall
promptly deliver the proceeds of such conversion to the Fronting Bank
in Same Day Funds. In the case of any Foreign Loan denominated in
Dollars, the Agent shall deliver the proceeds received from the
relevant Banks to the Fronting Bank in Same Day Funds. Promptly
following receipt thereof, the Fronting Bank will deliver to each
Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which are
not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans)
(through the Agent) a certificate setting forth the amount of the
Multicurrency Loans and Foreign Loans, as the case may be, purchased by
such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which
are not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans),
dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. From and
after such purchase, (i) all outstanding Multicurrency Loans and
Foreign Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or the relevant Optional
Currency and including those Multicurrency Loans advanced by the
Fronting Bank and the Multicurrency Banks and those Foreign Loans
advanced by the Fronting Bank) shall be deemed to have been converted
into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (with such conversion
constituting, for purposes of Section 6.9, a conversion of a Revolving
Credit Loan of one Type into a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type
prior to the expiration of the relevant Interest Period), (ii) any
further Revolving Credit Loans to be made to the Borrowers shall be
made in Dollars by each Bank in accordance with each such Bank's
Commitment Percentage, (iii) all amounts from time to time accruing,
and all amounts from time to time payable, on account of such Revolving
Credit Loans (including any interest and other amounts which were
accrued but unpaid on the date of such purchase) shall be payable in
Dollars as if such Revolving Credit Loans had originally been made in
Dollars and shall be distributed by the Agent to the Banks, on account
of such participating interests. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 2.10, the failure of any
Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which are
not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) to
purchase its participating interest in any Multicurrency Loans or
Foreign Loans shall not relieve any other Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it
relates to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and
Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) of its obligations hereunder to
purchase its participating interest in a timely manner, but no
Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which are
not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Non-Multicurrency

-36-
46

Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign
Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) to purchase the
participating interest to be purchased by such other Banks on any date.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any Non-Multicurrency
Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign
Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) pursuant to Section
2.10.2(a) is not paid to the Agent within one (1) Business Day
following the date upon which such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it
relates to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and
Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) receives a request from the Agent
that such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans
which are not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign
Loans) fund its participating interest relating to such Multicurrency
Loan and Foreign Loans, such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to
Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as it
relates to Foreign Loans) shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount
equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average
federal funds rate, as quoted by the Agent, during the period from and
including the date such payment is required to be made to the date on
which such payment is immediately available to the Agent, times (iii) a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse
during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such
amount required to be paid by any Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates
to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as
it relates to Foreign Loans) pursuant to Section 2.10.2(a) is not in
fact made available to the Agent within three (3) Business Days
following the date upon which such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it
relates to Multicurrency Loans which are not also Foreign Loans) and
Bank (as it relates to Foreign Loans) receives a request from the Agent
that such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to Multicurrency Loans
which are not also Foreign Loans) and Bank (as it relates to Foreign
Loans) fund its participating interest relating to such Multicurrency
Loan or Foreign Loan, the Agent shall be entitled to recover from the
applicable Borrower, on demand, such amount with interest thereon
calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to
Revolving Credit Loans which are Base Rate Loans. A certificate from
the Agent submitted to any Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to a
Multicurrency Loan which is not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank (as it
relates to a Foreign Loan) with respect to any amounts owing under this
Section 2.10.2(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Amounts payable by any Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to a
Multicurrency Loan which is not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank (as it
relates to a Foreign Loan) pursuant to this Section 2.10.2(b) shall be
paid to the Agent, for the account of the Fronting Bank; provided that,
if the Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of
such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to a Multicurrency Loan
which is not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank (as it relates to a Foreign
Loan) the amounts owing to the Fronting Bank, then the amounts shall be
paid to the Agent, for its own account.

-37-

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Fronting Bank has received
from any Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to a Multicurrency Loan
which is not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank (as it relates to a Foreign
Loan) such Bank's participating interest in a Multicurrency Loan or
Foreign Loan, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.10.2(b) above,
the Fronting Bank receives any payment on account thereof, the Fronting
Bank will distribute to the Agent, for the account of such
Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to a Multicurrency Loan which is
not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank (as it relates to a Foreign Loan),
such Non-Multicurrency Bank's (as it relates to a Multicurrency Loan
which is not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank's (as it relates to a
Foreign Loan) participating interest in such amount (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Non-Multicurrency Bank's (as it relates to a
Multicurrency Loan which is not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank's (as it
relates to a Foreign Loan) participating interest was outstanding and
funded) in like funds received; provided, however, that in the event
that any such payment received by the Fronting Bank is required to be
returned, such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to a Multicurrency
Loan which is not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank (as it relates to a
Foreign Loan) will return to the Fronting Bank any portion thereof
previously distributed by the Fronting Bank to the Non-Multicurrency
Bank (as it relates to a Multicurrency Loan which is not also a Foreign
Loan) or a Bank (as it relates to a Foreign Loan) in like funds as such
payment is required to be returned by the Fronting Bank.

(d) Each Non-Multicurrency Bank's (as it relates to a
Multicurrency Loan which is not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank's (as it
relates to a Foreign Loan) obligation to purchase participating
interests pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including
(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Non-Multicurrency Bank (as it relates to a Multicurrency Loan
which is not also a Foreign Loan) or a Bank (as it relates to a Foreign
Loan) may have against the Fronting Bank, any Borrower or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence and continuation
of any Default or Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of any Person party hereto; (iv) any
breach of any of the Loan Documents by any Person; or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing.

2.10.3. Resignation of Fronting Bank. The Fronting Bank may
resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice
thereof to the Banks and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the
Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Fronting
Bank. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, such successor Fronting Bank shall be reasonably acceptable
to the Borrowers. If no successor Fronting Bank shall have been so
appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Fronting
-38-

Bank's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Fronting Bank
may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Fronting Bank, which
shall be a financial institution having a rating of not less than A or
its equivalent by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group. Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Fronting Bank hereunder by a successor Fronting
Bank, such successor Fronting Bank shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Fronting Bank, and the retiring Fronting Bank shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
retiring Fronting Bank's resignation, the provisions of this Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 Fronting Bank.

2.10.4. No Duties of Borrowers. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Credit Agreement, this Section 2.10 sets forth the
relative rights and obligations solely of the Banks, the Fronting Bank
and the Agent, and not of the Borrowers and shall not impose any
obligations on the Borrowers.

3. REPAYMENT OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS.

3.1. MATURITY. The Borrowers jointly and severally promise to pay on
the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due
and payable on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, all of the Revolving
Credit Loans outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon.

3.2. MANDATORY REPAYMENTS OF REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. If at any time the
sum of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Maximum Drawing
Amount, all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and the aggregate face amount of
all outstanding Bankers' Acceptances exceeds the Total Commitment, then the
Borrowers shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the
respective accounts of the Banks and the Fronting Bank for application: first,
to any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations; second, to the Revolving Credit Loans;
and third, to provide to the Agent cash collateral for Reimbursement Obligations
as contemplated by Section 5.2(b) and (c) and outstanding Bankers' Acceptances
as contemplated by Section 4.5(a). Each payment of any Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligations or prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated among the
Banks, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to each Reimbursement Obligation
or (as the case may be) the respective unpaid principal amount of each Bank's
Revolving Credit Note, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize
any prior payments or repayments not exactly in proportion. In addition, in the
event of the repurchase by Ericsson of all or any portion of the assets or
capital stock of Flextronics Sweden pursuant to Section M.1 of the Ericsson
General Purchase Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Agent for the
respective accounts of the Banks an amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, to be
applied pro rata to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the loans
outstanding under the FIUI Revolver, and the Total Commitment and the "Total
Commitment" as defined in the

-39-
49

FIUI Credit Agreement shall be permanently reduced by such amount. To the extent
the Borrowers are required to make any payments pursuant to this Section 3.2 and
such a payment would subject the Borrowers to certain costs under Section 6.9
associated with a prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day
of an Interest Period with respect thereto, the Agent shall, if requested by the
Company, hold such proceeds as cash collateral until the earlier to occur of (a)
the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Rate
Loans, (b) the first date when such prepayment can be made without any costs
being incurred pursuant to Section 6.9 and (c) the date when the Agent
determines in its reasonable discretion that such amounts shall be used to repay
all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans.

3.3. OPTIONAL REPAYMENTS OF REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS. The Borrowers shall
have the right, at their election, to repay the outstanding amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or
premium, but subject to Section 6.9. The Borrowers shall give the Agent, no
later than 12:00 noon (Boston time) at least one (1) Business Day prior written
notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3 of Base Rate
Loans, and three (3) Business Days notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to
this Section 3.3 of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case specifying the
proposed date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and the principal amount
to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans shall
be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent) or a whole
multiple of $100,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent) in excess thereof, shall be
accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the
date of prepayment and shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the
applicable Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then to the
principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Each partial prepayment shall be allocated
among the Banks and the Fronting Bank, in proportion, as nearly as practicable,
to the respective unpaid principal amount of each Bank's Revolving Credit Note,
with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior repayments not
exactly in proportion.

SECTION 4. BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES.

SECTION 4.1. ACCEPTANCE AND PURCHASE. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, agrees to accept and
purchase Bankers' Acceptances drawn upon it by the Company denominated in
Dollars. The Company shall notify the Agent by irrevocable written notice (each
a "Bankers' Acceptance Notice") by 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the date of any
borrowing by way of Bankers' Acceptances. Each borrowing by way of Bankers'
Acceptances shall be in a minimum aggregate undiscounted face amount of
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each request
for a Bankers' Acceptance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the
Company that the conditions set forth in Section 12 and Section 13 have been
satisfied on the date of the issuance of such Bankers' Acceptance. Each Bankers'
Acceptance Notice shall be in the form of Exhibit D. In no event shall the
aggregate face amount of all outstanding Bankers' Acceptances exceed the
remainder of (a) the Total Commitment minus (b) the sum

-40-
50

of (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit
Loans plus (ii) the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligations.

(a) Term. Each Bankers' Acceptance shall be issued and shall
mature on a Business Day. Each Bankers' Acceptance shall have a term of
30, 60, 90 or 180 days, shall mature no later than five (5) days prior
to the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, and shall be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(b) Bankers' Acceptances in Blank. To facilitate the
acceptance of Bankers' Acceptances under this Credit Agreement, the
Company shall, upon execution of this Credit Agreement and from time to
time as required, provide to the Agent bills of exchange, in form
satisfactory to the Agent, duly executed and endorsed in blank by the
Company in quantities sufficient for the Agent to fulfill its
obligations hereunder. In addition, the Company hereby appoints the
Agent as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting
or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by
the Agent, blank forms of Bankers' Acceptances. The Company recognizes
and agrees that all Bankers' Acceptances signed and/or endorsed on its
behalf by the Agent shall bind the Company as fully and effectually as
if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing
officers of the Company. The Agent is hereby authorized to issue such
Bankers' Acceptances endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be
determined by the Agent provided that the aggregate amount thereof is
equal to the aggregate amount of Bankers' Acceptances required to be
accepted by the Agent pursuant to clause (d) below. The Agent shall not
be responsible or liable for its failure to accept a Bankers'
Acceptance if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to
the failure of the Company to provide duly executed and endorsed bills
of exchange to the Agent on a timely basis nor shall any Bank or the
Agent be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason
of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except loss or
improper use arising by reason of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Bank or the Agent, its officers, employees, agents
or representatives. The Agent shall maintain a record with respect to
Bankers' Acceptances (i) received by it from the Agent in blank
hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason, (iii) accepted by it
hereunder, (iv) purchased by it hereunder, and (v) cancelled at their
respective maturities. The Agent further agrees to retain such records
in the manner and for the statutory periods provided in the various
local or federal statutes and regulations which apply to the Agent.

-41-

(c) Execution of Bankers' Acceptances. Bills of exchange of
the Company to be accepted as Bankers' Acceptances hereunder shall be
duly executed by one or more duly authorized officers on behalf of the
Company. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any
Bankers' Acceptance as a signatory for the Company may no longer be an
authorized signatory for the Company at the date of issuance of a
Bankers' Acceptance, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force
at the time of such issuance and any such Bankers' Acceptance so signed
shall be binding on the Company.

(d) Issuance of Bankers' Acceptances. Promptly following
receipt of a Bankers' Acceptance Notice, the Agent shall so advise the
Banks of the face amount of each Bankers' Acceptance to be accepted by
it and the term thereof. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
each Bank severally agrees that it shall participate in any Bankers'
Acceptance upon notification by the Agent that it has received an
application for acceptance and discounting xxxx of exchange in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent agrees to furnish each
Bank with a copy of each Bankers' Acceptance promptly after issuance.
Each Bank severally agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, without
regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any
other condition precedent whatsoever to the extent of such Bank's
Commitment Percentage (except that, if the face amount of a Bankers'
Acceptance, which would otherwise be accepted by a Bank, would not be
$500,000 or an integral multiple thereof, such face amount may be
increased or reduced by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion
to the nearest integral multiple of $100,000) to reimburse the Agent on
demand for the amount of each draft paid by the Agent under each
Bankers' Acceptance to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the
Company pursuant to this Section 4 hereof (each such amount for a Bank
being called herein the "Bankers' Acceptance Participation" of such
Bank). Each such payment made by a Bank shall be treated as the
purchase of such Bank of a participating interest in the Company's
reimbursement obligation under Section 4.2 hereof in an amount equal to
such payment. Each Bank shall share in accordance with its
participating interest in any interest which accrues pursuant to
Section 4.3 hereof.

(e) Acceptance of Bankers' Acceptances. Each Bankers'
Acceptance to be accepted by the Agent shall be accepted at the Agent's
Head Office or as otherwise designated by the Agent from time to time.

(f) Purchase of Bankers' Acceptances. On the relevant date of
borrowing, the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, agrees to purchase from
the Company, at the face amount thereof discounted by the Applicable BA
Discount Rate, any Bankers' Acceptance accepted by it and provide to
the Agent, for the account of the Company, the BA Discount Proceeds in
respect thereof after deducting therefrom the amount of the Acceptance
Fee payable by the Company to the Agent under Section 4.3 in respect of
such Bankers' Acceptance.
-42-

(g) Sale of Bankers' Acceptances. The Agent may at any time
and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of
any or all Bankers' Acceptances accepted and purchased by it.

(h) Waiver of Presentment and Other Conditions. The Company
waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any
amounts due to the Agent or any Bank in respect of a Bankers'
Acceptance accepted by the Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement
which might exist solely by reason of such Bankers' Acceptance being
held, at the maturity thereof, by the Agent in its own right. The
Company shall not claim or require any days of grace or require the
Agent or any Bank to claim any days of grace for the payment of any
Bankers' Acceptance.

SECTION 4.2. REFUNDING BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES. With respect to each
Bankers' Acceptance, the Company, except during the occurrence and continuation
of an Event of Default, may give irrevocable telephone or written notice (or
such other method of notification as may be agreed upon between the Agent and
the Company) to the Agent at or before 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on such maturity
date of such Bankers' Acceptance of the Company's intention to issue one or more
Bankers' Acceptances on such maturity date (each a "Refunding Bankers'
Acceptance") to provide for the payment of such maturing Bankers' Acceptance (it
being understood that payments by the Company and fundings by the Banks in
respect of each maturing Bankers' Acceptance and each related Refunding Bankers'
Acceptance shall be made on a net basis reflecting the difference between the
face amount of such maturing Bankers' Acceptance and the BA Discount Proceeds
(net of the applicable Acceptance Fee) of such Refunding Bankers' Acceptance).
Any funding on account of any maturing Bankers' Acceptance must be made at or
before 12:00 noon (Boston time) on the maturity date of such Bankers'
Acceptance. If the Company fails to give such notice, the Company shall be
irrevocably deemed to have requested and to have been advanced a Base Rate Loan
in the face amount of such maturing Bankers' Acceptance on the maturity date of
such maturing Bankers' Acceptance from the Agent which accepted such maturing
Bankers' Acceptance, which Base Rate Loan shall thereafter bear interest as such
in accordance with the provisions hereof and otherwise shall be subject to all
provisions of this Credit Agreement applicable to Revolving Credit Loans until
paid in full.

SECTION 4.3. ACCEPTANCE FEE. An acceptance fee (the "Acceptance Fee")
shall be payable by the Company to the Agent (for the respective accounts of the
Agent and the Banks) and the Agent shall deduct the amount of such Acceptance
Fee from the BA Discount Proceeds (in the manner specified in Section 4.1(f) in
respect of each Bankers' Acceptance), said fee to be calculated at a rate per
annum equal to the Applicable Acceptance Fee Rate calculated on the face amount
of such Bankers' Acceptance and computed on the basis of the number of days in
the term of such Bankers' Acceptance and a year of 365 days.

SECTION 4.4. CIRCUMSTANCES MAKING BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES UNAVAILABLE. If,
by reason of circumstances affecting the money market in the United States

-43-
53

generally, there is no market for Bankers' Acceptances (a) the right of the
Company to request a borrowing of Bankers' Acceptances shall be suspended until
the circumstances causing a suspension no longer exist, and (b) any Bankers'
Acceptance Notice which is outstanding shall be cancelled and the requested
borrowing shall not be made.

SECTION 4.5. CASH PAYMENTS WITH RESPECT TO OUTSTANDING BANKERS'
ACCEPTANCES. In order to induce the Agent to purchase Bankers' Acceptances and
the Banks to participate therein, the Company agrees to pay to the Agent, for
the account of the Agent or (as the case may be) the Agent and Banks, with
respect to each Bankers' Acceptance accepted and/or purchased by the Agent
hereunder,

(a) upon the reduction (but not termination) of the Total
Commitment to an amount less than the aggregate face amount of all
outstanding Bankers' Acceptances, an amount equal to such difference,
which amount shall be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Banks
and the Agent for all outstanding Bankers' Acceptances until such
difference is not more than zero, whereupon any amounts remaining with
the Agent shall be paid to the Company so long as no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, and

(b) upon the termination of the Total Commitment, or the
acceleration of the Borrowers' obligations with respect to all Bankers'
Acceptances in accordance with Section 14, on demand by the Agent, an
amount with respect to each outstanding Bankers' Acceptance equal to
the total of amounts which would be required to purchase in the United
States money market, as of 10:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the date of
payment of such demand, United States of America treasury bills in an
aggregate amount equal to the face amount of such Bankers' Acceptances
and having in each case a term to maturity similar to the period from
such demand to maturity of such Bankers' Acceptance.

Upon payment by the Company as required under clause (b) above, the
Agent shall be responsible for all payments to third parties, including the
respective holders in due course of such Bankers' Acceptances, under Bankers'
Acceptances held by the Agent and the Agent shall indemnify the Company in
respect of all amounts which the Company may be required to pay under each such
Bankers' Acceptances to any party. Each payment under clauses (a) and (b) above
shall be made to the Agent at the Agent's Head Office in Same Day Funds.
Interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Company under clauses
(a) or (b) above at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable
(whether as stated in this Section 4.5, by acceleration or otherwise) until
payment in full (whether before or after judgment) shall be payable to the Agent
on demand at the rate specified in Section 6.10 for Base Rate Loans.

5. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

5.1. LETTER OF CREDIT COMMITMENTS.

5.1.1. COMMITMENT TO ISSUE LETTERS OF CREDIT. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof and the execution and delivery by the
applicable Borrower of a letter of credit application on the Agent's
customary form (a "Letter of Credit Application"), the Agent on behalf
of the Banks and in reliance upon the agreement of the Banks set forth
in Section 5.1.4 and upon the representations and warranties of the
Borrower contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to
issue, extend and renew for the account of the Borrower one or more
standby or documentary letters of credit (individually, a "Letter of
Credit") denominated in Dollars, in such form as may be requested from
time to time by the applicable Borrower and agreed to by the Agent;
provided, however, that, after giving effect to such request, (a) the
sum of the aggregate Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations shall not exceed $20,000,000 at any one time
and (b) the sum of (i) the Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of
Credit, (ii) all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, and (iii) the Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding
shall not exceed the Total Commitment.

5.1.2. LETTER OF CREDIT APPLICATIONS. Each Letter of Credit
Application shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Agent. In the
event that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application shall be
inconsistent with any provision of this Credit Agreement, then the
provisions of this Credit Agreement shall, to the extent of any such
inconsistency, govern.

5.1.3. TERMS OF LETTERS OF CREDIT. Each Letter of Credit
issued, extended or renewed hereunder shall, among other things, (a)
provide for the payment of sight drafts for honor thereunder when
presented in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by
the documents described therein, and (b) have an expiry date no later
than the date which is fourteen (14) days (or, if the Letter of Credit
is confirmed by a confirmer or otherwise provides for one or more
nominated persons, forty-five (45) days) prior to the Revolving Credit
Loan Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit so issued, extended or
renewed shall be subject to the Uniform Customs.

5.1.4. REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS OF BANKS. Each Bank severally
agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, without regard to the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other condition
precedent whatsoever, to the extent of such Bank's Commitment
Percentage, to reimburse the Agent on demand for the amount of each
draft paid by the Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent that
such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.2
(such agreement for a Bank being called herein the "Letter of Credit
Participation" of such Bank).

-45-

5.1.5. PARTICIPATIONS OF BANKS. Each such payment made by a
Bank shall be treated as the purchase by such Bank of a participating
interest in the applicable Borrower's Reimbursement Obligation under
Section 5.2 in an amount equal to such payment. Each Bank shall share
in accordance with its participating interest in any interest which
accrues pursuant to Section 5.2.

5.2. REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWERS. In order to induce the
Agent to issue, extend and renew each Letter of Credit and the Banks to
participate therein, the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to
reimburse or pay to the Agent, for the account of the Agent or (as the case may
be) the Banks, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed
by the Agent hereunder,

(a) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.2(b)
and (c), on each date that any draft presented under such Letter of
Credit is honored by the Agent, or the Agent otherwise makes a payment
with respect thereto, (i) the amount paid by the Agent under or with
respect to such Letter of Credit, and (ii) without duplication for any
amounts owing pursuant to Section 6.7 and Section 17 hereof, the amount
of any taxes, fees, charges or other costs and expenses whatsoever
incurred by the Agent or any Bank in connection with any payment made
by the Agent or any Bank under, or with respect to, such Letter of
Credit,

(b) upon the reduction (but not termination) of the Total
Commitment to an amount less than the Maximum Drawing Amount, an amount
equal to such difference, which amount shall be held by the Agent for
the benefit of the Banks and the Agent as cash collateral for all
Reimbursement Obligations, and

(c) upon the termination of the Total Commitment, or the
acceleration of the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all
Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 14, an amount equal to the
then Maximum Drawing Amount on all Letters of Credit, which amount
shall be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent
as cash collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations.

Each such payment shall be made to the Agent at the Agent's Head Office in Same
Day Funds. Interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the applicable
Borrower under this Section 5.2 one day after the Agent shall have provided such
Borrower with notice that such amounts have become due and payable (whether as
stated in this Section 5.2, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full
(whether before or after judgment) shall be payable to the Agent on demand at
the rate specified in Section 6.10 for overdue principal on the Revolving Credit
Loans.

5.3. LETTER OF CREDIT PAYMENTS. If any draft shall be presented or
other demand for payment shall be made under any Letter of Credit, the Agent
shall notify the applicable Borrower of the date and amount of the draft
presented or demand for payment and of the date and time when it expects to pay
such draft or honor such demand for payment. If such Borrower fails to reimburse
the Agent as

-46-
56

provided in Section 5.2 on or before the date that such draft is paid or other
payment is made by the Agent, the Agent may at any time thereafter notify the
Banks of the amount of any such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. No later than
3:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the Business Day next following the receipt of such
notice, each Bank shall make available to the Agent, at the Agent's Head Office,
in Same Day Funds, such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligation, together with an amount equal to the product of (a)
the average, computed for the period referred to in clause (c) below, of the
Overnight Rate for each day included in such period, times (b) the amount equal
to such Bank's Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation,
times (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse
from and including the date the Agent paid the draft presented for honor or
otherwise made payment to the date on which such Bank's Commitment Percentage of
such Unpaid Reimbursement obligation shall become immediately available to the
Agent, and the denominator of which is 360. The responsibility of the Agent to
the Borrowers and the Banks shall be only to determine that the documents
(including each draft) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with
such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such
Letter of Credit.

5.4. OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The Borrowers' joint and several obligations
under this Section 5 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment which any Borrower may have or have had against the Agent,
any Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. Each Borrower further agrees
with the Agent and the Banks that the Agent and the Banks shall not be
responsible for, and such Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations under Section 5.2
shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of
documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact
prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute
between or among such Borrower, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any
financing institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be
transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of such Borrower against the
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Agent and the
Banks shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in
transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. Each Borrower agrees that
any action taken or omitted by the Agent or any Bank under or in connection with
each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in good
faith, shall be binding upon such Borrower and shall not result in any liability
on the part of the Agent or any Bank to any Borrower.

5.5. RELIANCE BY ISSUER. To the extent not inconsistent with Section
5.4, the Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons
and upon advice and statements of legal

-47-

counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Credit Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or
concurrence of the Majority Banks as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall
first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Banks against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement
in accordance with a request of the Majority Banks, and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Banks
and all future holders of the Revolving Credit Notes or of a Letter of Credit
Participation.

5.6. LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. The Borrowers shall pay quarterly in arrears
on the last day of each calendar quarter following the issuance, extension or
renewal of any Letter of Credit, and on the expiration of such Letter of Credit,
a fee (in each case, a "Letter of Credit Fee") to the Agent (a) in respect of
each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for
Letters of Credit times the aggregate available amount of such standby Letter of
Credit plus the Agent's customary issuance fee of 0.125% of the available amount
of such standby Letter of Credit, and (b) in respect of each documentary Letter
of Credit equal to (i) the Applicable Margin then in effect for Letters of
Credit times the aggregate available amount of such documentary Letter of
Credit, plus (ii) the Agent's customary issuance fee or amendment fee, as the
case may be, in an amount of 0.125% of the available amount of such documentary
Letter of Credit plus (iii) the Agent's customary time negotiation fee per
document examination, such Letter of Credit Fee (but not such issuance,
amendment, negotiation or document examination fee) to be for the accounts of
the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.

6. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

6.1. AGENT'S FEE. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the Agent's
own account, an Agent's fee at the times and in the amounts set forth in the Fee
Letter.

6.2. FUNDS FOR PAYMENTS.

6.2.1. PAYMENTS TO AGENT. All payments of principal, interest,
Reimbursement Obligations, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees,
Acceptance Fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective
accounts of the Banks and the Agent, at the Agent's Head Office or at
such other location in the Boston, Massachusetts, area that the Agent
may from time to time designate, in each case in Same Day Funds. All
payments of principal of and interest on Revolving Credit Loans made to
any Borrower which are denominated in an Optional Currency or
Currencies and all other fees due hereunder by any local branch or
affiliate of the Agent or any Bank located outside of the United States
shall be made in Same Day Funds, for

-48-
58

the account of such Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, at a
depository designated by such Bank in the country in which such
Optional Currency is legal tender. Each payment in respect of any
Revolving Credit Loan made by a Borrower shall be made in the same
currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan was made unless otherwise
agreed to by such Bank.

6.2.2. NO OFFSET, ETC. All payments by the Borrowers hereunder
and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff
or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions,
withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any
nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any
political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein
unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or
withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon any such Borrower
with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents, subject to Section 6.11 and Section 20.8 hereof,
such Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Banks or
(as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due
and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such
additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Banks
or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Banks or the
Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been
imposed upon such Borrower. Each such Borrower will deliver promptly to
the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other
charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the
Borrowers hereunder or under such other Loan Document.

6.2.3. CURRENCY MATTERS.

Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and
every sum at any time due from the Borrowers hereunder; provided
that:(a) except as expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, each
repayment of a Revolving Credit Loan or a part thereof shall be made in
the currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan is denominated at the
time of that repayment;

(b) each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in
which such principal or other sum in respect of which such interest is
payable, is denominated;

(d) each payment in respect of costs, expenses and indemnities
shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred; and

(e) any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other
than Dollars shall be paid in that other currency.

-49-
59

No payment to the Agent or any Bank (whether under any
judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or
liability in respect of which it was made unless and until the Agent or
such Bank shall have received payment in full in the currency in which
such obligation or liability was incurred, and to the extent that the
amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such
currency, fall short of such obligation or liability actual or
contingent expressed in that currency, the Borrower shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, with respect
to the amount of the shortfall.

6.3. COMPUTATIONS. All computations of interests on the Base Rate Loans
shall be based on a 365-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
All computations of interest on the Eurocurrency Rate Loans and of Commitment
Fees, Letter of Credit Fees or other fees shall, unless otherwise expressly
provided herein, be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of
days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term
"Interest Period" with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, whenever a payment
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is
not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The
outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans as reflected on the Records
from time to time shall be considered correct and binding on each of the
Borrowers unless within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any notice by
the Agent or any of the Banks of such outstanding amount, the Agent or such Bank
shall notify such Borrower to the contrary.

6.4. INABILITY TO DETERMINE EUROCURRENCY RATE. In the event, prior to
the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan,
the Agent shall determine or be notified by the Majority Banks that adequate and
reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or the
International Eurocurrency Rate, as the case may be, that would otherwise
determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan
during any Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such
determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrower
and the Banks) to the Borrowers and the Banks. In such event (a) any Loan
Request or Conversion Request with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be
automatically withdrawn and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated
in Dollars, shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans to be denominated in
Dollars and in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in an Optional
Currency, shall be withdrawn, (b) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in
Dollars will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period
relating thereto, become a Base Rate Loan and each Eurocurrency Rate Loan
denominated in an Optional Currency will be required to be repaid on the last
day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto, and (c) the
obligations of the Banks to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended
until the Agent or the Majority Banks determines that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent

-50-
60

or, as the case may be, the Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Banks,
shall so notify the Borrowers and the Banks.

6.5. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any
present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or
application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such Bank shall forthwith give notice of such
circumstances to the Borrowers and the other Banks and thereupon (a) the
commitment of such Bank to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or convert Base Rate
Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to make Revolving Credit Loans in an
Optional Currency shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Bank's Revolving
Credit Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, if any, shall (i) if
comprising a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars, be converted
automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may
be required by law and (ii) if comprising a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in
an Optional Currency, be immediately repaid. The Borrowers hereby jointly and
severally agree promptly to pay the Agent for the account of such Bank, upon
demand by such Bank, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank
for any costs incurred by such Bank in making any conversion in accordance with
this Section 6.5, including any interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders
of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurocurrency Rate Loans
hereunder.

6.6. ADDITIONAL COSTS, ETC. If any introduction, adoption or change in
any applicable law or regulation, which expression, as used herein, includes
statutes, rules and regulations thereunder or changes in the interpretations
thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body
or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and
requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time
hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Bank or the Agent by any central
bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the
force of law), shall:

(a) subject any Bank or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost,
duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect
to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of
Credit, any Bankers' Acceptances, such Bank's Commitment or the
Revolving Credit Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the
income or profits of such Bank or the Agent), or

(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for
changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Bank of the
principal of or the interest on any Revolving Credit Loans or any other
amounts payable to any Bank or the Agent under this Credit Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, or

(c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the
extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Credit Agreement)
any special

-51-

deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity or other similar requirements
(whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or
deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit
issued by, or commitments of an office of any Bank, or

(d) impose on any Bank or the Agent any other conditions or
requirements with respect to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, any Letters of Credit, Bankers' Acceptances, the Revolving
Credit Loans, such Bank's Commitment, or any class of loans, letters of
credit or commitments of which any of the Revolving Credit Loans or
such Bank's Commitment forms a part, and the result of any of the
foregoing is

(i) to increase the cost to any Bank of making,
funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of
the Revolving Credit Loans or such Bank's Commitment or any
Letter of Credit or any Bankers' Acceptance if such Bank deems
such cost to be material, or

(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest,
Reimbursement Obligation or other amount payable to such Bank
or the Agent hereunder on account of such Bank's Commitment,
any Letter of Credit, any Bankers' Acceptance or any of the
Revolving Credit Loans, or

(iii) to require such Bank or the Agent to make any
payment or to forego any interest or Reimbursement Obligation
or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or
foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum is
calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum
receivable or deemed received by such Bank or the Agent from
the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrowers will promptly upon demand made by
such Bank or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time
and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Bank or the Agent
such additional amounts (but without duplication for amounts paid pursuant to
another provision of this Credit Agreement) as will be sufficient to compensate
such Bank or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone
interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum.

6.7. CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If after the date hereof any Bank or the Agent
determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any
change in the interpretation or application thereof by a court or governmental
authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (b) compliance by such Bank or the
Agent or any corporation controlling such Bank or the Agent with any law,
governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital adequacy, has the
effect of reducing the return on

-52-
62

such Bank's or the Agent's commitment with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans
to a level below that which such Bank or the Agent could have achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank's or
the Agent's then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming
full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount deemed by such Bank or
(as the case may be) the Agent to be material, then such Bank or the Agent may
notify the Company of such fact. To the extent that the amount of such reduction
in the return on capital is not reflected in the Base Rate, the Company and such
Bank shall thereafter attempt to negotiate in good faith, within thirty (30)
days of the day on which the Borrower receives such notice, an adjustment
payable hereunder that will adequately compensate such Bank in light of these
circumstances. If the Company and such Bank are unable to agree to such
adjustment within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Company receives
such notice, then commencing on the date of such notice (but not earlier than
the effective date of any such increased capital requirement), the fees payable
hereunder shall increase by an amount that will, in such Bank's reasonable
determination, provide adequate compensation. Each Bank shall allocate such cost
increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis.

6.8. CERTIFICATE. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts
payable pursuant to Section Section 6.6 or 6.7 and a brief explanation of such
amounts which are due and the basis upon which such amounts were calculated,
submitted by any Bank or the Agent to the Company, shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error, that such amounts are due and owing.

6.9. INDEMNITY. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify
each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from and against any loss, cost or
expense (including loss of anticipated profits) that such Bank may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in payment of the
principal amount of or any interest on any Eurocurrency Rate Loans as and when
due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or
fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to
maintain its Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (b) default by such Borrower in making a
borrowing of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or conversion to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan
after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Loan Request or a
Conversion Request relating thereto in accordance with Section 2.6 or Section
2.7 or (c) the making of any payment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the making
of any conversion of any such Revolving Credit Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day
that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto,
including interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of funds obtained by
it in order to maintain any such Revolving Credit Loans.

6.10. INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Overdue principal and (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) interest on the Revolving Credit Loans and all
other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents
shall bear interest compounded monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum
equal to

-53-

two percent (2%) above the Base Rate until such amount shall be paid in
full (after as well as before judgment).

6.11. CERTAIN BANK OBLIGATIONS.

6.11.1. REPLACEMENT BANKS. Within thirty (30) days after (a)
any Bank has demanded compensation from any Borrower pursuant to
Sections 6.2.2, 6.6 or 6.7 hereof, (b) any Bank fails or refuses to
make available to the Agent on any Drawdown Date the amount of its
Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit Loan, (c) the
occurrence of a Fronting Loan Event or (d) there shall have occurred a
change in law with respect to any Bank as a consequence of which it
shall have become unlawful for such Bank to make a Eurocurrency Rate
Loan on any Drawdown Date, as described in Section 6.5 hereof (any such
Bank described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) or (d) and, as it
pertains to clause (c) any Non-Multicurrency Bank, is hereinafter
referred to as an "Affected Bank"), the Company may request that the
other Banks (the "Non-Affected Banks") acquire all, but not less than
all, of the Affected Bank's outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and
assume all, but not less than all, of the Affected Bank's Commitment.
If the Company so requests, the Non-Affected Banks may elect to acquire
all or any portion of the Affected Bank's outstanding Revolving Credit
Loans and to assume all or any portion of the Affected Bank's
Commitment; provided, however, such Non-Affected Bank shall also be
required to acquire and assume all or a like pro rata portion of such
assignor's interests under the FIUI Credit Agreement. If the
Non-Affected Banks do not elect to acquire and assume all of the
Affected Bank's outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Commitment and
like interest and liabilities of the Affected Bank under the FIUI
Credit Agreement, the Company may designate a replacement bank or banks
(which must be an Eligible Assignee), which must be reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent, to acquire and assume that portion of the
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Commitment of the Affected Bank
not being acquired and assumed by the Non-Affected Banks; provided,
however, such assignee shall also be required to acquire and assume all
or a like pro rata portion of such assignor's interests under the FIUI
Credit Agreement. The provisions of Section 20 hereof shall apply to
all reallocations pursuant to this Section 6.11 (including, without
limitation, the provisions pertaining to pro rata allocations with the
FIUI Credit Agreement), and the Affected Bank and any Non-Affected
Banks and/or replacement banks which are to acquire the Revolving
Credit Loans and Commitment of the Affected Bank shall execute and
deliver to the Agent, in accordance with the provisions of Section 20
hereof, such Assignments and Acceptances and other instruments, as are
required pursuant to Section 20 hereof to give effect to such
reallocations; provided, however, the Company shall, or shall cause the
assignee Bank, pay the registration fee set forth in Section 20.3. Any
Non-Affected Banks which are to acquire the Revolving Credit Loans and
Commitment of the Affected Bank shall be deemed to be Eligible
Assignees for all purposes of Section 20 hereof. On the effective date
of the applicable Assignments and Acceptances, the

-54-

applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Affected Bank all interest
accrued on its Revolving Credit Loans up to but excluding such date,
along with any fees payable to such Affected Bank hereunder up to but
excluding such date, including, without limitation, any amounts that
would have been payable pursuant to Section 6.9 hereof in connection
with a prepayment.

6.11.2. MITIGATION. If (a) any Bank shall request compensation
under Section 6.6 or Section 6.7 hereof, (b) any Bank delivers a notice
described in Section 6.5 or (c) the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Bank, or any governmental authority on account
of any Bank pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.6, such Bank agrees to
use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change its Domestic Lending Office or Eurocurrency
Lending Office, as the case may be, to avoid or to minimize any amounts
otherwise payable under Sections 6.2, 6.6 or 6.7 or enable it to
withdraw a notice given pursuant to Section 6.5, in each case solely if
such change can be made in a manner so that such Bank, in its sole
determination, suffers no significant legal, economic or regulatory
disadvantage. The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection
with any such change.

6.11.3. FILING REQUIREMENTS. Upon the written request of the
Company, each Bank shall, to the extent requested by the Company and to
the fullest extent that it lawfully may do so, deliver to the Company
and the Agent or file with the relevant taxing authority, such form,
certification or other evidence, as required by applicable law or
treaty, properly completed and duly executed by such Bank, establishing
that a payment by the applicable Borrower is (x) not subject to
withholding tax under the law of such jurisdiction or (y) totally
exempt from such withholding tax or subject to a reduced rate of such
tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty, and in any event not
subject to any back-up withholding so long as the completion, execution
or submission of such form, certification or other evidence would not
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. The
Company agrees to furnish to each Bank the applicable tax forms
promptly upon request therefor. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, such Bank will not be required to (a)
disclose information which in its reasonable judgment it deems
confidential or proprietary or (b) incur a disadvantage if such
disadvantage would, in its reasonable judgment, be substantial in
comparison to any additional amount otherwise payable by the applicable
Borrower hereunder.

7. COLLATERAL SECURITY AND GUARANTIES.

7.1. SECURITY OF BORROWERS. The Obligations shall be secured by a
perfected first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens
entitled to priority under applicable law) in certain of the assets of the
Borrowers, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the terms of the
Security Documents to which each Borrower is a party.

-55-
65

7.2. GUARANTEES AND SECURITY OF SUBSIDIARIES. The Obligations shall
also be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Guarantees. The obligations of
the Company's Subsidiaries under the Guarantees shall be in turn secured by a
perfected first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens
entitled to priority under applicable law) in certain of the assets of each such
Subsidiary, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the terms of
the Security Documents to which such Subsidiary is a party.

7.3. GUARANTY BY THE COMPANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS.

7.3.1. GUARANTY. For value received and hereby acknowledged
and as an inducement to the Banks and the Agents to make the Revolving
Credit Loans, Bankers' Acceptances and Letters of Credit available to
each Borrowing Subsidiary, the Company hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees (a) the full punctual payment when due, whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of
the Borrowing Subsidiaries now or hereafter existing whether for
principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, and (b) the strict
performance and observance by the Borrowing Subsidiaries of all
agreements, warranties and covenants applicable to the Borrowing
Subsidiaries in the Loan Documents and (c) the obligations of the
Borrowing Subsidiaries under the Loan Documents (such Obligations
collectively being hereafter referred to as the "Guaranteed
Obligations").

7.3.2. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. The Company guarantees that the
Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms hereof, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or
hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or
the rights of the Banks with respect thereto. The liability of the
Company under this guaranty with regard to the Guaranteed Obligations
of the Borrowing Subsidiaries shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of:

(a) the Borrowing Subsidiaries' lack of authorization,
execution, validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement and any
amendment hereof (with regard to such Guaranteed Obligations), or any
other obligation, agreement or instrument relating thereto (it being
agreed by the Company that the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be
discharged prior to the final and complete satisfaction of all of the
Obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiaries) or any failure to obtain any
necessary governmental consent or approvals or necessary third party
consents or approvals;

(b) the Agent's or any Bank's exercise or enforcement of, or
failure or delay in exercising or enforcing, legal proceedings to
collect the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations or any power,
right or remedy with respect to any of the Obligations or the
Guaranteed Obligations, including (i) any suspension of the Agent or
any Bank's right to enforce against the Borrowing Subsidiaries of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or (ii) any

-56-

change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term
of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowing
Subsidiaries or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (with
regard to such Guaranteed Obligations) or any other agreement or
instrument governing or evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral,
or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from
any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations of the
Borrowing Subsidiaries;

(d) any change in ownership of the Borrowing Subsidiaries;

(e) any acceptance of any partial payment(s) from the
Borrowing Subsidiaries;

(f) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or any part of the
Borrowing Subsidiaries' assets;

(g) any assignment, participation or other transfer or
reallocation, in whole or in part (whether or not subject to a
conversion of a loan of one Type into a loan of another Type or a
conversion from one currency to another), of the Agent's or any Bank's
interest in and rights under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or of the Agent or any Bank's interest in the Obligations or
the Guaranteed Obligations;

(h) any cancellation, renunciation or surrender of any pledge,
guaranty or any debt instrument evidencing the Obligations or the
Guaranteed Obligations;

(i) the Agent's or any Bank's vote, claim, distribution,
election, acceptance, action or inaction in any bankruptcy or
reorganization case related to the Obligations or the Guaranteed
Obligations; or

(j) any other action or circumstance, other than payment,
which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge
of, the Borrowing Subsidiaries or the Company in respect of its
Guaranteed Obligations (other than the defense of payment in full in
cash).

This guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any Guaranteed
Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent or
any Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Borrowing Subsidiaries or otherwise, all as though such payment had not
been made.
-57-

7.3.3. EFFECTIVENESS; ENFORCEMENT. The guaranty hereunder
shall be effective and shall be deemed to be made with respect to each
Revolving Credit Loan made as of the time it is made or accepted, as
applicable. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason
of any bankruptcy or similar law, or any law or order of any government
or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect any
liability of the Borrowing Subsidiaries, and no defect in or
insufficiency or want of powers of the Borrowing Subsidiaries or
irregular or improperly recorded exercise thereof, shall impair,
affect, be a defense to or claim against such guaranty. The guaranty
hereunder is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) survive any
termination of this Credit Agreement, and (b) remain in full force and
effect until payment in full of, and performance of, all Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under the guaranty hereunder,
all the Commitments shall have expired and been terminated, all of the
Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated and all lending
and other credit commitments of the Banks in respect thereof have
terminated. The guaranty under this Credit Agreement is made for the
benefit of the Agents and the Banks and their successors and assigns,
and may be enforced from time to time as often as occasion therefor may
arise and without requirement on the part of the Agents or the Banks
first to exercise any rights against the Borrowing Subsidiaries, or to
resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the
said Obligations or to elect any other remedy.

7.3.4. WAIVER. The Company hereby waives promptness,
diligence, protest, notice of protest, all suretyship defenses, notice
of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and this guaranty and any requirement that the
Agent or any Bank secure, perfect or protect any security interest or
lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any
action against the Borrowing Subsidiaries or any other person or any
collateral. The Company also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, all defenses which at any time may be available to it
in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations by virtue of any statute of
limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or similar law now or
hereinafter in effect and all suretyship defenses generally.

7.3.5. SUBORDINATION; SUBROGATION. Until the payment and
performance in full of all the Obligations, the Company shall not
exercise and hereby waives any rights against the Borrowing
Subsidiaries as a result of payment by the Company hereunder, by way of
subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or otherwise, and
the Company will not prove any claim in competition with the Agent or
any Bank in respect of any payment hereunder in bankruptcy, insolvency,
or reorganization proceedings of any nature; the Company will not claim
any set-off, recoupment or counterclaim against the Borrowing
Subsidiaries in respect of any liability of the Company to the
Borrowing Subsidiaries; and the Company waives any benefit of and any
right to participate in any collateral

-58-

which may be held by any Bank or the Agent. The Company agrees that,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of any default in the
payment or performance of any of the Obligations, the Company will not
demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any Indebtedness of the
Borrowing Subsidiaries to the Company until all of the Obligations of
the Borrowing Subsidiaries shall have been paid in full. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company shall collect,
enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness in
violation of the foregoing sentence while any Obligations of the
Borrowing Subsidiary are still outstanding, such amounts shall be
collected, enforced and received by the Company for the benefit of the
Banks and the Agent (and shall be for the Banks' and the Agent's
account and not the Company's account) and be paid over to the Agent,
for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent on account of the
Obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiaries without affecting in any
manner the liability of the Company under the other provisions hereof.
The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or
termination of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.3.6. PAYMENTS. The Company shall pay the Guaranteed
Obligations in the currency in which such Obligation is payable by the
Borrowing Subsidiaries and all payments by the Company hereunder shall
be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be free and clear of
and without deduction for any foreign or domestic taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory
loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter
imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision
thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the applicable
Borrowing Subsidiary is required by law to make such deduction or
withholding. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section
7.3.6, if any such obligation is imposed upon the Company or any
Borrowing Subsidiary with respect to any amounts payable by it
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, subject to Section 6.11
and Section 20.8 hereof, the Company will pay to the Agent for the
account of the Banks or, as the case may be the Agent, on the date on
which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan
Documents, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to
enable the Banks or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the
Banks or the Agent would have received on such due date had not such
obligation been imposed on the Company or the Borrowing Subsidiaries.

7.3.7. RECEIPT OF INFORMATION. The Company acknowledges and
confirms that the Company itself has established its own adequate means
of obtaining from the Borrowing Subsidiaries on a continuing basis all
information desired by the Company concerning the financial condition
of the Borrowing Subsidiaries and that the Company will look to the
Borrowing Subsidiaries and not to the Agent or any Bank in order for
the Company to keep adequately informed of changes in the Borrowing
Subsidiaries' financial condition.

-59-
69

7.4. CHANGE OF STATUS. To the extent that any Excluded Subsidiary
requests at any time after the Closing Date to become a Guarantor hereunder,
such Person shall send a written notice of such request to the Agent. To the
extent the Agent and the Majority Banks consent to such a request, and provided
such Person delivers to the Agent an executed Guarantee, Security Agreement and
further Security Documents or other instruments and documents as the Agent may
require in order to grant to the Agent a first priority perfected security
interest (or a comparable interest in the case of a security interest being
taken outside of the United States of America) in such Person's inventory and
Accounts Receivable (including after acquired) as shall be required by Section
7.2, together with legal opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Agent, opining as to the authorization, validity and enforceability of
such Guarantee and Security Document and the perfection of such security
interests, such Person shall, after delivery of all such documents and
instruments, cease being an Excluded Subsidiary hereunder and shall be a
Guarantor hereunder. To the extent that in any relevant jurisdiction it is not
possible or reasonably practical for the Agent to obtain such security (or
comparable) interest solely in inventory and Accounts Receivable (including
after acquired), or the rights or remedies of the Agent with respect to
inventory or Accounts Receivable collateral (including after acquired) will be
significantly impaired, without the Agent also obtaining a security (or
comparable) interest in other assets of such Guarantor, the Security Documents
or other instruments or documents shall include a security (or comparable) first
priority interest in favor of the Agent in such other assets of such Guarantor,
subject only to Permitted Liens.

7.5. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF THE BORROWERS.

7.5.1. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. Each of the Borrowers is
and shall be jointly and severally liable for each and every Obligation
of any of the Borrowers arising or incurred under or in respect of this
Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of
any of the Revolving Credit Loans made or Reimbursement Obligations
incurred on any of the Revolving Credit Notes, any Letter of Credit
Application, any Letter of Credit or other instruments at any time
evidencing any thereof. Each of the Borrowers agrees that it shall be
jointly and severally liable for all fees, as well as each of the other
Obligations of any of the Borrowers arising or incurred under or in
respect of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

7.5.2. CONSIDERATION. Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint
and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial
accommodations to be provided by the Agent and the Banks under this
Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly or indirectly, of
each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each
of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the
obligations of each of them.

7.5.3. CO-DEBTORS. Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety
but as

-60-
70

a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with
respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations
arising under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it
being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations
shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers
without preferences or distinction among them.

7.5.4. PAYMENT. If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers
shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations
hereunder as and when due or to perform any of such Obligations in
accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other
Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such
Obligation.

7.5.5. RECOURSE. The obligations of each Borrower under the
provisions of this Section 7.5 constitute full recourse obligations of
such Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its
properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents
against any Obligor or any other circumstances whatsoever.

7.5.6. WAIVERS. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
each Borrower hereby waives promptness, diligences, presentment,
demand, protest, notice of acceptance of its joint and several
liability, notice of any and all advances of the Loans made under this
Credit Agreement and the Revolving Credit Notes, notice of occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is
expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents), or of any demand for any
payment under this Credit Agreement, notice of any action at any time
taken or omitted by the Agent or the Banks under or in respect of any
of the Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and,
generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in
connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Each Borrower hereby waives all defenses which may be available by
virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now
or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshaling of assets
of the Borrowers and any other entity or Person primarily or
secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations, and all
suretyship defenses generally. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and
waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the
payment, or place or manner for payment, compromise, refinancing,
consolidation or renewals of any of the Obligations hereunder, the
acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other
action or acquiescence by the Agent and the Banks at any time or times
in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or
satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all other
indulgences whatsoever by the Agent and the Banks in respect of any of
the Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or

-61-

release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security
for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release,
in whole or in part, of any Borrower or any other entity or Person
primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligation. Such Borrower
further agrees that its Obligations shall not be released or
discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by the adequacy
of any rights which the Agent or any Bank may have against any
collateral security or other means of obtaining repayment of any of the
Obligations, the impairment of any collateral security securing the
Obligations, including, without limitation, the failure to protect or
preserve any rights which the Agent or any Bank may have in such
collateral security or the substitution, exchange, surrender, release,
loss or destruction of any such collateral security, any other act or
omission which might in any manner or to the extent vary the risk of
the Borrower, or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of such
Borrower, all of which may be done without notice to such Borrower;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way be deemed to
create commercially unreasonable standards as to the Administrative
Agent's duties as secured party under the Loan Documents (as such
rights and duties are set forth therein). If for any reason any of the
other Borrowers has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation
to discharge any of the Obligations, or if any of the Obligations have
become irrecoverable from any of the other Borrowers by reason of such
other Borrower's insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization or by other
operation of law or for any reason, this Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to which it is a party shall nevertheless be binding on
such Borrower to the same extent as if such Borrower at all times had
been the sole obligor on such Obligations. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action
or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Agent and the
Banks, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or
diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply
fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but
for the provisions of this Section 7.5, afford grounds for terminating,
discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any
of its obligations under this Section 7.5 shall not be discharged
except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance.
The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 7.5 shall not be
diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization,
arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with
respect to any reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any
Borrower, or any of the Banks. The joint and several liability of the
Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other
change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of
formation of any Borrower or the Banks.

7.5.7. ENFORCEMENT. The provisions of this Section 7.5 are
made for the benefit of each of the Agent and the Banks and its
successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it from time to time
against any of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise
and without requirement on the part of

-62-

the Agent and the Banks first to xxxxxxxx any of their claims or to
exercise any of their rights against the other Borrowers or to exhaust
any remedies available to it against the other Borrowers or to resort
to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the
Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of
this Section 7.5 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations
hereunder shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If
at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any
of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by the Agent or the Banks upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this
Section 7.5 will forthwith be reinstated in effect as though such
payment had not been made.

7.5.8. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any Borrower makes a
payment hereunder in excess of the aggregate amount of the benefit
received by such Borrower in respect of the extensions of credit under
the Credit Agreement (the "Benefit Amount"), then such Borrower, after
the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations, shall be
entitled to recover from each other Borrower such excess payment, pro
rata in accordance with the ratio of the Benefit Amount received by
each such other Borrower to the total Benefit Amounts received by all
Borrowers, and the right to such recovery shall be deemed to be in
asset and property of such Borrower so funding; provided that all such
rights to recovery shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment
to the final and indefeasible repayment in full in cash of all of the
Obligations.

8.7. LITIGATION. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations of any kind pending or threatened against the Borrowers or any of
their Subsidiaries before any court, tribunal or administrative agency or board

Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any action taken or to

officer, director or such employee or,

-67-
77

to the knowledge of such Borrower, any corporation, partnership, trust or other
entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial
interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

8.16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.

8.16.1. IN GENERAL. The Borrowers and each of their
Subsidiaries is in material compliance with any and all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations governing pension plans and employee
benefit plans, except where such noncompliance would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the extent applicable for the Borrowers or
any Subsidiary, each Employee Benefit Plan and each Guaranteed Pension
Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance in all material
respects with the provisions of ERISA and, to the extent applicable,
the Code, including but not limited to the provisions thereunder
respecting prohibited transactions and the bonding of fiduciaries and
other persons handling plan funds as required by Section 412 of ERISA.
To the extent applicable, the Borrowers have heretofore caused to be
delivered to the Agent the most recently completed annual report, Form
5500, with all required attachments, and actuarial statement required
to be submitted under Section 103(d) of ERISA, with respect to each
Guaranteed Pension Plan.

8.16.2. TERMINABILITY OF WELFARE PLANS. To the extent
applicable for the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, no Employee Benefit
Plan which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of
Section 3(1) or Section 3(2)(B) of ERISA provides benefit coverage
subsequent to termination of employment except as required by Title I,
Part 6 of ERISA or applicable state insurance laws. The Borrowers or
such Subsidiary, as the case may be, may cause the termination of each
such Plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of
any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of such Borrower
without liability to any Person other than for claims arising prior to
termination.

8.16.3. GUARANTEED PENSION PLANS. To the extent applicable,
each contribution required to be made to a Guaranteed Pension Plan,
whether required to be made to avoid the incurrence of an accumulated
funding deficiency, the notice or lien provisions of Section 302(f) of
ERISA, or otherwise, has been timely made. No waiver of an accumulated
funding deficiency or extension of amortization periods has been
received with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, and neither the
Borrowers nor any ERISA Affiliate is obligated to or has posted
security in connection with an amendment of a Guaranteed Pension Plan
pursuant to Section 307 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29) of the Code. No
liability to the PBGC (other than required insurance premiums, all of
which have been paid) has been incurred by the Borrowers or any ERISA
Affiliate with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan and there has not
been any ERISA Reportable Event, or any other event or condition which
presents a material risk of termination of any Guaranteed Pension Plan
by the PBGC. Based on the latest valuation of each Guaranteed Pension
Plan (which in

-68-
78

each case occurred within twelve months of the date of this
representation), and on the actuarial methods and assumptions employed
for that valuation, the aggregate benefit liabilities of all such
Guaranteed Pension Plans within the meaning of Section 4001 of ERISA
(to the extent ERISA is applicable) did not exceed the aggregate value
of the assets of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans, disregarding for
this purpose the benefit liabilities and assets of any Guaranteed
Pension Plan with assets in excess of benefit liabilities, by more than
$500,000.

8.16.4. MULTIEMPLOYER PLANS. To the extent applicable, neither
the Borrowers nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material
liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan as
a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer
Plan under Section 4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets
described in Section 4204 of ERISA. Neither the Borrowers nor any ERISA
Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in
reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of Section
4241 or Section 4245 of ERISA or is at risk of entering reorganization
or becoming insolvent, or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to
terminate or has been terminated under Section 4041A of ERISA.

8.17. REGULATIONS U AND X. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans
shall be used to refinance existing Indebtedness and for working capital and
general corporate purposes. The Borrowers will obtain Letters of Credit and
Bankers' Acceptances solely for working capital and general corporate purposes.
No portion of any Revolving Credit Loan is to be used, and no portion of any
Letter of Credit or Bankers' Acceptance is to be obtained, for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any "margin security" or "margin stock" as such terms are
used in Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, 12 C.F.R. Parts 221 and 224. In addition, no portion of the proceeds of
any Revolving Credit Loan is to be used, and no portion of any Letter of Credit
or Bankers' Acceptance is to be obtained, for the purpose of (a) knowingly
purchasing, or providing credit support for the purchase of, Ineligible
Securities from a Section 20 Subsidiary during any period in which such Section
20 Subsidiary makes a market in such Ineligible Securities, (b) knowingly
purchasing, or providing credit support for the purchase of, during the
underwriting or placement period, any Ineligible Securities being underwritten
or privately placed by a Section 20 Subsidiary, or (c) making, or providing
credit support for the making of, payments of principal or interest on
Ineligible Securities underwritten or privately placed by a Section 20
Subsidiary and issued by or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary
or other Affiliate of the Borrowers.

8.18. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. Each of the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries, to the extent applicable to such Person, has taken all necessary

13. CONDITIONS TO ALL BORROWINGS.

The obligations of the Banks to make any Revolving Credit Loan and to

precedent:

shall be true as of the date as of which they were made and shall also be true
at and as of the time of the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension or

aggregate are not materially adverse, and to the extent that such
representations and warranties relate expressly to an earlier date) and no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

13.2. NO LEGAL IMPEDIMENT. No change shall have occurred in any law or
regulations thereunder or interpretations thereof that in the reasonable opinion
of any Bank would make it illegal for such Bank to make such Revolving Credit
Loan or to participate in the issuance, extension or renewal of such Letter of
Credit or Bankers' Acceptance or in the reasonable opinion of the Agent would
make it illegal

-95-

105

for the Agent to issue, extend or renew such Letter of Credit or to accept

information and such counterpart originals or certified or other copies of such

(k) if any of the Loan Documents shall be cancelled,

(s) Ericsson takes any action pursuant to Section M of the

(s) any default or event of default occurs under the FIUI

then, and in any such event, so long as the same may be continuing, the Agent
may, and upon the request of the Majority Banks shall, by notice in writing to
the Company declare all amounts owing with respect to this Credit Agreement, the
Revolving Credit Notes and the other Loan Documents and all Reimbursement
Obligations to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that in the
event of any Event of Default specified in Section Section 14.1(g) or 14.1(h),
all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and
without any requirement of notice from the Agent or any Bank.

14.2. TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS. If any one or more of the Events of
Default specified in Section 14.1(g) or Section 14.1(h) shall occur, any unused
portion of the credit hereunder shall forthwith terminate and each of the Banks
shall be relieved of all further obligations to make Revolving Credit Loans to
the Borrowers and the Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations to
issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit

-100-
110

and to accept and/or purchase Bankers' Acceptances from the Borrowers. If any
other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if on any
Drawdown Date or other date for issuing, extending or renewing any Letter of
Credit the conditions precedent to the making of the Revolving Credit Loans to
be made on such Drawdown Date or (as the case may be) to issuing, extending or
renewing such Letter of Credit on such other date are not satisfied, the Agent
may and, upon the request of the Majority Banks, shall, by notice to the
Company, terminate the unused portion of the credit hereunder, and upon such
notice being given such unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate
immediately and each of the Banks shall be relieved of all further obligations
to make Revolving Credit Loans and the Agent shall be relieved of all further
obligations to issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit and to accept and/or
purchase Bankers' Acceptances. No termination of the credit hereunder shall
relieve the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of any of the Obligations.

14.3. REMEDIES. In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Banks shall have
accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 14.1, each Bank, if
owed any amount with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans, Bankers' Acceptances
or the Reimbursement Obligations, may, with the consent of the Majority Banks
but not otherwise, proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity,
action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations to
such Bank are evidenced, including as permitted by applicable law the obtaining
of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become
due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any
other legal or equitable right of such Bank. No remedy herein conferred upon any
Bank or the Agent or the holder of any Revolving Credit Note or purchaser of any
Letter of Credit Participation or Bankers' Acceptance Participation is intended
to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision
of law.

14.4. CURRENCY CONVERSION. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment
in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to
convert any amount due under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents
in Dollars (hereinafter in this Section 14.4 called the "first currency") into
any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 14.4 called the "second
currency"), then the conversion shall be made at the Agent's spot rate of
exchange (as conclusively determined by the Agent) for buying the first currency
with the second currency prevailing at the Agent's close of business on the
Business Day next preceding the day on which the judgment is given or, as the
case may be, the order is made. Any payment made to the Agent pursuant to this
Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in the second currency shall
constitute a discharge of the obligations of the Borrowers to pay to the Agent
and the Banks any amount originally due to the Agent and the Banks in the first
currency under the Loan Documents only to the extent of the

-101-

111

amount of the first currency which the Agent is able, on the date of the receipt
by it of such payment in any second currency, to purchase, in accordance with
the Agent's normal banking procedures, with the amount of such second currency
so received. If the amount of the first currency falls short of the amount
originally due to the Agent and the Banks in the first currency under the Loan
Documents, the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the
Agent and the Banks against and save the Agent and the Banks harmless from any
shortfall so arising. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation of the
Borrowers separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this
Credit Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action,
shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order
for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due to the Agent and the
Banks under this Credit Agreement or under any such judgment or order and shall
be secured by the Collateral. Any such shortfall shall be deemed to constitute a
loss suffered by the Agent and the Banks and the Borrowers shall not be entitled
to require any proof or evidence of any actual loss. The covenant contained in
this Section 14.4 shall survive the payment in full of all of the other
obligations of the Borrowers under this Credit Agreement.

14.5. DISTRIBUTION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS. In the event that following
the occurrence or during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the
Agent or any Bank, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with
the enforcement of any the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the
realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for
application as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the
reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of all reasonable costs,
expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or
sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection of such monies
by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent
of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the
Agent under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate
indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall
have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent to such
monies;

(b) Second, pro rata between the FIUI Obligations guaranteed
by the Borrowers and the Obligations and in such order or preference as
the Majority Banks may determine; provided, however, that distributions
in respect of such obligations shall be made (i) pro rata between the
FIUI Obligations guaranteed by the Borrowers and the Obligations; (ii)
pari passu among Obligations with respect to the Agent's fee payable
pursuant to Section 6.1 and all other Obligations and (iii) Obligations
owing to the Banks with respect to each type of Obligation such as
interest, principal, fees and expenses, shall be made among the Banks
pro rata; and provided, further, that the Agent may in its discretion
make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due
and payable;

-102-
112

(c) Third, upon payment and satisfaction in full or other
provisions for payment in full satisfactory to the Banks and the Agent
of all of the Obligations, to the payment of any obligations required
to be paid pursuant to Section 9-504(1)(c) of the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of New York; and

(d) Fourth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the
Borrowers or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

15. SETOFF.

Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the continuance of
any Event of Default, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any of
the Banks to any Borrower and any securities or other property of any Borrower
in the possession of such Bank may be applied to or set off by such Bank against
the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or
indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or
hereafter arising, of such Borrower to such Bank. Each of the Banks agrees with
each other Bank that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to
Indebtedness of any Borrower to such Bank, other than Indebtedness evidenced by
the Revolving Credit Notes or Bankers' Acceptances held by such Bank or
constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Bank, such amount shall be
applied ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the Indebtedness evidenced by
all such Revolving Credit Notes or Bankers' Acceptances held by such Bank or
constituting Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Bank, and (b) if such Bank
shall receive from any Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the
right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the claim evidenced
by the Revolving Credit Notes or Bankers' Acceptances held by, or constituting
Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Bank by proceedings against such
Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization,
liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain
and apply to the payment of the Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes
or Bankers' Acceptances held by, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Bank
any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of
the Banks with respect to the Revolving Credit Notes or Bankers' Acceptances
held by, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all of the Banks, such Bank will
make such disposition and arrangements with the other Banks with respect to such
excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims,
subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Bank receiving in respect of
the Revolving Credit Notes or Bankers' Acceptances held by it or Reimbursement
obligations owed it, its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Credit
Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from such Bank, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded
and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

-103-

113

16. THE AGENT.

16.1. AUTHORIZATION.

(a) The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of
each of the Banks and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and
under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents
delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably
incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not
expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been
assumed by the Agent.

(b) The relationship between the Agent and each of the Banks
is that of an independent contractor. The use of the term "Agent" is
for convenience only and is used to describe, as a form of convention,
the independent contractual relationship between the Agent and each of
the Banks. Nothing contained in this Credit Agreement nor the other
Loan Documents shall be construed to create an agency, trust or other
fiduciary relationship between the Agent and any of the Banks.

(c) As an independent contractor empowered by the Banks to
exercise certain rights and perform certain duties and responsibilities
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agent is nevertheless
a "representative" of the Banks, as that term is defined in Article 1
of the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit
of the Banks and the Agent with respect to all collateral security and
guaranties contemplated by the Loan Documents. Such actions include the
designation of the Agent as "secured party", "mortgagee" or the like on
all financing statements and other documents and instruments, whether
recorded or otherwise, relating to the attachment, perfection, priority
or enforcement of any security interests, mortgages or deeds of trust
in collateral security intended to secure the payment or performance of
any of the Obligations, all for the benefit of the Banks and the Agent.

16.2. EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The Agent may exercise its powers and
execute its duties by or through employees, agents or affiliates and shall be
entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to its rights and duties under this Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent
in its sole discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and
expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrowers.

16.3. NO LIABILITY. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders,
directors, officers, employees, affiliates nor any other Person assisting them
in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any
waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken,
in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences
of any oversight or error of

-104-

114

judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may
be, may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

16.4. NO REPRESENTATIONS. The Agent shall not be responsible for the
execution or validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement, the Revolving
Credit Notes, the Bankers' Acceptances, the Letters of Credit, any of the other
Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to
constitute, collateral security for the Revolving Credit Notes or the Bankers'
Acceptances, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the
validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with
respect to the Revolving Credit Notes or Bankers' Acceptances, or for any
recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of
the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished
to it by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or be bound
to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time
constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Revolving
Credit Notes or Bankers' Acceptances or to inspect any of the properties, books
or records of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries. The Agent shall not be
bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to
it by any Borrower or any holder of any of the Revolving Credit Notes or
Bankers' Acceptances shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and
complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or
warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Banks,
with respect to the credit worthiness or financial conditions of any Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based upon such
information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement.

16.5. PAYMENTS.

16.5.1. PAYMENTS TO AGENT. A payment by any Borrower to the
Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of
any Bank shall constitute a payment to such Bank. The Agent agrees
promptly to distribute to each Bank such Bank's pro rata share of
payments received by the Agent for the account of the Banks except as
otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents.

16.5.2. DISTRIBUTION BY AGENT. If in the opinion of the Agent
the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity
hereunder, under the Revolving Credit Notes, the Bankers' Acceptances
or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability,
it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make
distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that
any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each
Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either
repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the

-105-
115

amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such
manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

16.5.3. DELINQUENT BANKS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, any Bank that fails (a) to make available to the Agent its
pro rata share of any Revolving Credit Loan or to purchase any Letter
of Credit Participation or (b) to comply with the provisions of Section
15 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other
Banks, where such Bank's share of any payment received, whether by
setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such
payments due and payable to all of the Banks or (c) to purchase a risk
participation in Bankers' Acceptances, in each case as, when and to the
full extent required by the provisions of this Credit Agreement, shall
be deemed delinquent (a "Delinquent Bank") and shall be deemed a
Delinquent Bank until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A
Delinquent Bank shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments
due to it from any Borrower, whether on account of outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans, Bankers' Acceptances, Unpaid Reimbursement
Obligations, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining
nondelinquent Banks for application to, and reduction of, their
respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans,
Bankers' Acceptances and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. The
Delinquent Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments
to the nondelinquent Banks in proportion to their respective pro rata
shares of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Bankers' Acceptances
and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. A Delinquent Bank shall be deemed
to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of
application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Revolving
Credit Loans, Bankers' Acceptances and Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations
of the nondelinquent Banks, the Banks' respective pro rata shares of
all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Bankers' Acceptances and Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligations have returned to those in effect immediately
prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment
causing such delinquency.

16.6. HOLDERS OF REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES.

The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Revolving Credit Note or
the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation or Bankers' Acceptance
Participation as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof
until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such
payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

16.7. INDEMNITY. The Banks ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold
harmless the Agent and its affiliates from and against any and all claims,
actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs,
expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent or such affiliate has not
been reimbursed by any Borrower as required by Section 17), and liabilities of
every nature and character arising out of or related to this Credit Agreement,
the Revolving Credit

-106-
116

Notes, the Bankers' Acceptances or any of the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent's actions
taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall
be directly caused by the Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

16.8. AGENT AS BANK. In its individual capacity, BKB shall have the
same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its
Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans made by it, and as the holder of any
of the Revolving Credit Notes and as the purchaser of any Letter of Credit
Participations and Bankers' Acceptance Participation, as it would have were it
not also the Agent.

16.9. RESIGNATION. The Agent may resign at any time by giving sixty
(60) days prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Company. Upon any
such resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor
Agent. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such
successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. If no successor
Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted
such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of
notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks,
appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a financial institution having a
rating of not less than A or its equivalent by Standard & Poor's Corporation.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent,
such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
retiring Agent's resignation, the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents 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 Agent.

16.10. NOTIFICATION OF DEFAULTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each Bank hereby
agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default,
it shall promptly notify the Agent thereof. The Agent hereby agrees that upon
receipt of any notice under this Section 16.10 it shall promptly notify the
other Banks of the existence of such Default or Event of Default.

the preparation therefor, the Banks, the Agent and its affiliates shall be
entitled to select their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing
indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrowers
under this Section 18 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers hereby
jointly and severally agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in

deliver to the Company and the Agent certification as to its exemption from
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes (including
without limitation, forms 4229 and W9) and comply with any applicable requests
under Section 6.11. If any Reference Bank transfers all of its interest, rights
and obligations under this Credit Agreement, the Agent shall, in consultation
with the Company and with the consent of the Company and the Majority Banks,
appoint another Bank to act as a Reference Bank hereunder. Anything contained in
this Section 19 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may at any time pledge
all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Credit Agreement
(including all or any portion of its Revolving Credit Notes) to any of the

amended and in effect from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among
the Borrower, the Bank and the other parties thereto;

(b) the principal outstanding hereunder from time to time at
the times provided in the Credit Agreement; and

(c) interest on the principal balance hereof from time to time
outstanding from the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement through

provided in the Credit Agreement.

This Note constitutes the amendment and restatement in its entirety of
the Revolving Credit Note of the Borrower to the Bank in the original principal
amount of $________________, dated as of May 21, 1997 (the "Original Note"), and
is in substitution therefor and an amendment and replacement thereof. Nothing
herein or in any other document shall be construed to constitute payment of the
Original Note or to release or terminate any guaranty or lien, mortgage, pledge
or other security entered in favor of the Bank.

This Note evidences borrowings under and has been issued by the
Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Bank and any

outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the grid attached
to this Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record,
including computer records, maintained by the Bank with respect to any Revolving
Credit Loans shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing
and unpaid to the Bank, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording,
any such amount on any such grid, continuation or other record shall not limit
or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Credit
Agreement to make payments of principal of and interest on this Note when due.

The Borrower has the right in certain circumstances and the obligation
under certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal
of this Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.

unpaid principal amount of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued
thereon may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Credit Agreement.

No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any
other rights of the Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver
on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on
any further occasion.

The Borrower and every endorser and guarantor of this Note or the
obligation represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and
all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of this Note, and assents to any extension
or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any
substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release
of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.

PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW). THE
BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN
