Agreement are set forth in Section 8 below).
1. LOANS.
1.1 Loans. Lenders will make loans to Borrower (the "Loans"), in amounts
determined by Lenders in their sole discretion, up to the amounts (the "Credit
Limit") referred to in Section 1.1.1 hereof and as shown on the Schedule,

hereunder.
1.1.1 The Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and
conditions hereof, to make one or more advances to the
Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the
period from the Closing Date to, but excluding, the
Termination Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the
amount at any one time outstanding set forth on the Schedule
to this Agreement giving effect to the Eligible Inventory,
Eligible Receivables and eligible Fixed Assets advance rates
set forth therein.
1.2 Interest. All Loans and all other monetary Obligations shall bear interest
at the rate shown on the Schedule, except where expressly set forth to the
contrary in this Agreement. Interest shall be payable monthly, on the last day

from time to time, Borrower shall pay Lenders minimum monthly interest during
the term of this Agreement with respect to all of the Loans based on the minimum
daily loan balance set forth on the Schedule (the "Minimum Monthly Interest").
Following a Default or Event of Default, interest shall accrue at the Default
Interest Rate, as defined in the Schedule hereto. The parties agree that the
Default Interest Rate shall not be a penalty but is a reasonable adjustment to
reflect the circumstances of the Loans.
1.3 Fee. Borrower shall pay Lenders the fee(s) shown on the Schedule, which are
in addition to all interest and other sums payable to Lenders and are not
refundable.
1.4 Advances. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the advance rate

if a receivable or inventory dilution percentage in excess of five percent (over
amounts reported to Lenders) is confirmed in any field examination conducted by
or on behalf of Lenders and (ii) reserves may be reasonably established at any
time by a Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, reserves
with respect to (x) exposure under foreign exchange contracts, hedging and other
financial instruments and (y) collateral locations for which landlord waiver and
consent agreements in form and substance satisfactory to Lenders have not been
obtained.
1.4.1 The obligations of each Lender to make any advances is subject
to the satisfaction or each of the conditions precedent set
forth as conditions to borrowing hereunder, and to those
specific conditions set forth in this Section 1.4. and the
Schedule hereto.
1.4.2 The initial borrowing consisting of Advances shall be made on
notice, given by the Borrower to the Agent not later than
11:00 A.M. (EST) on the third business day prior to the date
of the proposed Borrowing, pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing
in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Agent shall
give to each appropriate Lender, prompt notice thereof by

(EST) on the Closing Date make available for the account of
the domestic lending office of the Lender in same day funds,
such amount of the Lender's ratable portion of the Advance.
After receipt of such funds, and upon fulfillment of all of
the conditions of borrowing hereunder, Agent shall make such
funds available to Borrower.
1.4.3 Each notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on
the Borrower and, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender
against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender
solely as a result of any failure by the Borrower to borrow on
the date specified in the Notice for such Borrowing,
including, without limitation, any loss (including anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund the advance, and such event
may be deemed by the Lender an Event of Default hereunder.
1.5 Notes. All revolving credit loans made by a Lender to the Borrowers shall be
evidenced by a revolving credit note, duly executed on behalf of the Borrower,
dated the Closing Date, in substantially the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto,
delivered and payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to its credit
commitment in respect of the Borrowers on such date. The outstanding balance of
each revolving credit loan, as evidenced by any such note, shall mature and be
due and payable on the Termination Date of the Loan. Each revolving credit note
shall bear interest from its date on the outstanding principal balance thereof,
as provided in Section 1.2 hereof. Each lender, or the Agent, shall and is
hereby authorized by the Borrower to, endorse on the schedule attached to the
revolving credit note of such Lender an appropriate notation evidencing the date
and amount of each Loan to each Borrower from such Lender, as well as the date
and amount of each payment and prepayment with respect thereto, provided,
however, that the failure of any person to make such a notation on a note shall
not affect any obligations of the Borrower under such note. Any such notation
shall be conclusive and binding as to the date and amount of such Loan or
portion thereof, or payment or prepayment of principal or interest thereon,
absent manifest error.
2. SECURITY INTEREST.
2.1 Security Interest. To secure the payment and performance of all of the
Obligations when due, Borrower hereby grants to Lenders a security interest in

3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER
In order to induce Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make
Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to Lenders as follows, and Borrower
covenants that the following representations will continue to be true, and that
Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants:
3.1 Corporate Existence and Authority. Borrower, if a corporation, is and will
continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Borrower is and will continue to
be qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any
failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on Borrower. The
execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement, and all other
documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii)
are enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as
enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors'
rights generally), and (iii) do not violate Borrower's articles or certificate
of incorporation, or Borrower's by-laws, or any law or any material agreement or
instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its property, and (iv) do not
constitute grounds for acceleration of any material indebtedness or obligation
under any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Borrower or its
property.
3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. The name of Borrower set forth in the heading
to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed on the Schedule are all prior
names of Borrower and all of Borrower's present and prior trade names. Borrower
shall give Lenders 30 days' prior written notice before changing its name or
doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in the
future comply, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a
fictitious business name.
3.3 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. The address set forth in the
heading to this Agreement is Borrower's chief executive office. In addition,
Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations
set forth on the Schedule. Borrower will give Lenders at least 30 days prior
written notice before opening any additional place of business, changing its
chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than
Borrower's Address or one of the locations set forth on the schedule.
3.4 Title to Collateral; Permitted Liens. Borrower is now, and will at all times
in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of
Equipment which are leased by Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain
free and clear of any and all Liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances
and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Lenders now have, and will
continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest
in all of the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Liens, and Borrower will
at all times defend Lenders and the Collateral against all claims of others.
None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such
manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture, unless such Collateral will
continue to constitute Collateral as a result thereof. Borrower is not and will
not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor
may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits,
restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Borrower's right to
remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is
located upon premises in which any third party has an interest (whether as
owner, mortgagee, beneficiary under a deed of trust, Lien or otherwise),
Borrower shall, whenever requested by Lenders, use its best efforts to cause
such third party to execute and deliver to Lenders, in form acceptable to
Lenders, such waivers and subordinations as Lenders shall specify, so as to
ensure that Lender's rights in the Collateral are, and will continue to be,
superior to the rights of any such third party. Borrower will keep in full force
and effect, and will comply with all the terms of; any lease of real property
where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located. The Borrower
shall duly execute and deliver all security documents, all consents of
third-parties necessary to permit the effective granting of the Liens created in
such agreements, financing statements pursuant to the UCC and other documents,
all in form and substance satisfactory to Lenders, as may be reasonably required
by Lenders to grant a valid, perfected and enforceable first priority Lien on
and security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens). The
Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause all instruments and
documents given as evidence of security pursuant to this Agreement to be duly
recorded and/or filed or otherwise perfected in all places necessary, in the
opinion of Lenders, and take such other actions as Lenders may reasonably
request, in order to
Page 3
perfect and protect the Liens of Lenders in the Collateral. Borrower, to the
extent permitted by law and for the purposes of perfecting Lender's security
interest granted hereunder, hereby authorizes Lenders to file any financing
statement(s) in respect of any Lien created pursuant to the security documents
which may at any time be required or which, in the opinion of Lenders, may at
any time be desirable although the same may have been executed only by the
Borrower, to sign such financing statement on behalf of the Borrower and file
the same, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Lenders, its agents,
representatives and designees as its agent and attorney-in-fact for this
purpose. In the event that any re-recording or re-filing thereof (or the filing
of any statements of continuation or assignment of any financing statement) is
required to protect and preserve such Lien, the Borrower shall, at the
Borrower's cost and expense, cause the same to be recorded and/or re-filed at
the time and in the manner requested by Lenders.
3.5 Maintenance of Collateral. Borrower will maintain the Collateral in good
working condition, and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful
purpose. Borrower will immediately advise Lenders in writing of any material
loss or damage to the Collateral.
3.6 Books and Records. Borrower has maintained and will maintain at Borrower's
Address complete and accurate books and records, comprising an accounting system
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
3.7 Financial Condition, Statements and Reports. All financial statements now or
in the future delivered to Lenders have been, and will be, prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of
unaudited financial statements, for the absence of footnotes and subject to
normal yearend adjustments) and now and in the future will fairly reflect the
financial condition of Borrower, at the times and for the periods therein
stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to Lenders
and the date hereof, there has been no material adverse change in the financial
condition, business or prospects of Borrower. The financial statements are based
upon the information contained in the books and records of Borrower and fairly
present the financial condition of Borrower as at the dates thereof and results
of operations for the periods referred to therein. Borrower is now and will
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will continue to be
Solvent.
3.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension contributions Borrower has timely filed,
and will timely file, all tax returns and reports required by foreign, federal,
state and local law, and Borrower has timely paid, and will timely pay, all
foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions
now or in the future owed by Borrower. Borrower may, however, defer payment of
any contested taxes set forth on the schedule hereto, provided that Borrower (i)
in good faith contests Borrower's obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate
proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted and (ii) notifies
Lenders in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the
proceedings, and (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the
contested taxes from becoming a Lien upon any of the Collateral. As of the date
hereof; Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of
Borrower's prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due
and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all
amounts necessary to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and
deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not
and will not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete
termination of; or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any
such plan which could result in any liability of Borrower, including any
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any
other governmental agency. Borrower shall, at all times, utilize the services of
an outside payroll service providing for the automatic deposit of all payroll
taxes payable by Borrower.
3.9 Compliance with Law. Borrower has complied, and will comply, in all material
respects, with all provisions of all material foreign, federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to Borrower, including, but not limited to, those
relating to Borrower's ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and
licensing of Borrowers business, and environmental matters.
3.10 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, there is no claim, suit,
litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or (to best of Borrower's
knowledge) threatened by or against or affecting Borrower in any court or before
any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrower) which may
result, either separately or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in
the financial condition or business of Borrower, or in any material impairment
in the ability of Borrower to carry on its business in substantially the same
manner as it is now being conducted. Borrower will promptly inform Lenders in
writing of any claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future
threatened or instituted by or against Borrower involving any single claim of

Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Agent: (a) certified copies of all

4. RECEIVABLES.
4.1 Representations Relating to Receivables. Borrower represents and warrants to
Lenders as follows: Each Receivable with respect to which Loans are requested by
Borrower shall, on the date each Loan is requested and made, represent an
undisputed bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the Account Debtor
created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the rendition of
services in the ordinary course of Borrower's business.
4.2 Representations Relating to Documents and Legal Compliance. Borrower
represents and warrants to Lenders as follows: All statements made and all
unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, purchase orders, contracts,
instruments and other documents evidencing the Receivables are and shall be true
and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents and all of
Borrower's books and records are and shall be genuine and in all respects what
they purport to be. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise

rules and regulations. All signatures and endorsements on all documents,
instruments, and agreements relating to all Receivables are and shall be
genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are and shall be
legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.
4.3 Schedules and Documents Relating to Receivables. Borrower shall deliver to
Lenders transaction reports and loan requests, schedules of Receivables, and
schedules of collections, all on Lender's standard forms; provided, however,
that Borrower's failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or
limit Lender's security interest and other rights in all of Borrower's
Receivables, nor shall Lender's failure to advance or lend against a specific
Receivable affect or limit Lender's security interest and other rights therein.
Loan requests received after 10:30 AM EST will not be considered by Lenders
until the next Business Day. Together with each such schedule, or later if
requested by Lenders, Borrower shall furnish Lenders with certified copies (or,
at Lender's request, permit Lenders or its representatives to review originals)
of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all
original shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other
evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise
to such Receivables, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the
foregoing. Borrower shall also furnish to Lenders an aged accounts receivable
trial balance in such form and at such intervals as Lenders shall request. In
addition, Borrower shall deliver to Lenders the originals of all instruments,
chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property
evidencing or securing any Receivables, upon receipt thereof and in the same
form as received, with all necessary endorsements, all of which shall be with

Receivables, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred. Borrower shall

determine. Lenders may, in its discretion, require that all proceeds of
Collateral be deposited by Borrower into a lockbox account, or such other
"blocked account" as Lenders may specify, pursuant to a blocked account
agreement in such form as Lenders may specify. Lenders or its designee may, at
any time, notify Account Debtors that Lenders has been granted a security
interest in the Receivables. If Lenders consent to the factoring or assignment
of any Receivables, the proceeds thereof shall be directed to be paid directly
to Lenders in an amount necessary to pay all Obligations to Lenders at such time
existing.
4.5 Remittance of Proceeds. All proceeds arising from the disposition of any
Collateral shall be delivered to Lenders within one Business Day after receipt
by Borrower, in their original form, duly endorsed to Lenders, to be applied to
the Obligations in such order as Lenders shall determine. Borrower agrees that
it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower's other funds
or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other
funds and property and in an express trust for Lenders. Nothing in this Section
limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement.
Page 6
4.6 Disputes. Borrower shall notify Lenders promptly of all disputes or claims
relating to Receivables. Borrower shall not forgive (completely or partially),
compromise or settle any Receivable for less than payment in full, or agree to
do any of the foregoing, except that Borrower may do so, provided that: (i)
Borrower does so in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner, in the
ordinary course of business, and in arm's length transactions, which are
reported to Lenders on the regular reports provided to Lenders, (ii) no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) taking into
account all such discounts settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding
Loans will not exceed the Credit Limit. Lenders may, at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, settle or adjust disputes or claims directly
with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Lenders considers
advisable in its reasonable credit judgment and, in all cases, Lenders shall
credit Borrower's Loan account with only the net amounts received by Lenders in
payment of any Receivables.
4.7 Returns. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any
Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower in the ordinary course of its
business, Borrower shall promptly determine the reason for such return and
promptly issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate
amount. In the event any attempted return occurs after the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Borrower shall (i) hold the returned Inventory in trust for
Lenders, (ii) segregate all returned Inventory from all of Borrower's other
property, (iii) conspicuously label the returned Inventory as subject to
Lender's security interest, and (iv) immediately notify Lenders of the return of

respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to
the Receivables, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of
Borrower or Lenders or such other name as Lenders may choose.
4.9 No Liability. Lenders shall not under any circumstances be responsible or
liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of,
any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to a Receivable, or
for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement,
failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Receivable, or for
settling any Receivable in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor
shall Lenders be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower's obligations
under any contract or agreement giving rise to a Receivable. Nothing herein
shall, however, relieve Lenders from liability for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.

as Agent deems it reasonably necessary in order to complete the enforcement of
its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement; provided, however, that

Borrower hereby irrevocably waives: (i) any bond and any surety or security
relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident

occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest rate applicable to the
Obligations shall be increased as provided on the Schedule a part hereof.

commercially reasonable: (i) Notice of the sale is given to Borrower at least
five days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public sale, notice of the
sale is published at least five days before the sale in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county where the sale is to be conducted; (ii) Notice of the
sale describes the collateral in general, non-specific terms; (iii) The sale is

present; (iv) The sale commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.;

discretion, if they are commercially reasonable.

Event of Default, without limiting Lender's other rights and remedies, Borrower
grants to Agent an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest,
authorizing and permitting Agent (acting through any of its employees, attorneys

in Borrower's name or otherwise, but Agent agrees to exercise the following
powers in a commercially reasonable manner:
Page 11
(a) Execute on behalf of Borrower any documents that Agent may, in its sole
discretion, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Lender's security
interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower or
Agent, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under
this Agreement, and all other present and future agreements; (b) Execute on
behalf of Borrower any document exercising, transferring or assigning any option

Receivable, any draft against any Account Debtor and any notice to any Account

therefor, or both; (i) Settle and adjust, and give releases of, any insurance
claim that relates to any of the Collateral and obtain payment therefor; (j)

and any other present or future agreements. Any and all reasonable sums paid and
any and all reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys'
fees incurred by Agent with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and
become part of the Obligations, and shall be payable on demand Agent may charge
the foregoing to Borrower's loan account and the foregoing shall thereafter bear
interest at the same rate applicable to the Receivable Loans. In no event shall
Lender's rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Lender's other
rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Agent is in control of
the business, management or properties of Borrower.
7.5 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale of
the Collateral shall be applied by Agent first to the reasonable costs,
expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys' fees incurred by Agent in the
exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second to the interest due upon any
of the Obligations, and third to the principal of the Obligations, in such order
as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to
Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable
to Agent for any deficiency. If Agent, in its sole discretion, directly or
indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any
purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Agent shall have the option, exercisable at
any time, in its sole discretion, of either reducing the Obligations by the
principal amount of purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations
until the actual receipt by Agent of the cash therefor.
7.6 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in
this Agreement, Agent shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a
secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code and under all other
applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the
future entered into between Agent and Borrower, and all of such rights and
remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by
Agent of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election,
nor bar Agent from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights
or remedies. The failure or delay of Agent to exercise any rights or remedies
shall not operate as a waiver thereof; but all rights and remedies shall
continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully
paid and performed.
7.7 Right of First Refusal. The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly,
without the prior written consent of the Agent, offer, sell, grant any option to
purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any
option to purchase or other disposition ) of any of its equity or
equity-convertible securities in a transaction intended to be exempt or not

9. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
9.1 Interest Computation. In computing interest on the Obligations, all checks,
wire transfers and other items of payment received by Lenders (including
proceeds of Receivables and payment of the Obligations in full) shall be deemed
applied by Lenders on account of the Obligations three Business Days after
receipt by Lenders of immediately available funds, and, for purposes of the
foregoing, any such funds received after 10:30 AM EST on any day shall be deemed
received on the next Business Day. Lenders shall not, however, be required to
credit Borrower's account for the amount of any item of payment which is
unsatisfactory to Lenders in its sole discretion, and Lenders may charge
Borrower's loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned
to Lenders unpaid. In the event any Default results in an increase in the
interest rate calculable hereunder, such increase shall be adjusted if required
so that the rate as so adjusted shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.
9.2 Application of Payments. All payments with respect to the Obligations may be
applied, and in Lender's sole discretion reversed and re-applied, to the
Obligations, in such order and manner as Lenders shall determine in its sole
discretion.
9.3 Charges to Accounts. Lenders may, in its discretion, require that Borrower
pay monetary Obligations in cash to Lenders, or charge them to Borrower's Loan
account, in which event they will bear interest at the same rate applicable to
the Loans. Lenders may also, in its discretion, charge any monetary Obligations
to Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with Lenders.
9.4 Monthly Accountings. Lenders shall provide Borrower monthly with an account
of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this Agreement.
Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrower and an
account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of payments made and
corrections of errors discovered by Lenders), unless Borrower notifies Lenders
in writing to the contrary within thirty days after each account is rendered,
describing the nature of any alleged errors or admissions.
9.5 Notices. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be given either personally or by reputable private delivery service or

competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such defect shall not affect
the remainder of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.
9.7 Integration. This Agreement and such other written agreements, documents and
instruments as may be executed in connection herewith are the final, entire and
complete agreement between Borrower and Lenders and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous negotiations and oral representations and agreements, all of
which are merged and integrated in this Agreement. There are no oral
understandings representations or agreements between the Parties which are not
set forth in this Agreement.
9.8 Waivers. The failure of Lenders at any time or times to require Borrower to
strictly comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other
present or future agreement between Borrower and Lenders shall not waive or
diminish any right of Lenders later to demand and receive strict compliance
therewith. Any waiver of any default shall not waive or affect any other
default, whether prior or subsequent, and whether or not similar. None of the
provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement now or in the future
executed by Borrower and delivered to Lenders shall be deemed to have been
waived by any act or knowledge of Lenders or its agents or employees, but only
by a specific written waiver signed by an authorized officer of Lenders and
delivered to Borrower. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest and
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release,
compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper,
instrument, account, General Intangible, document or guaranty at any time held
by Lenders on which Borrower is or may in any way be liable, and notice of any
action taken by Lenders, unless expressly required by this Agreement.
9.9 No Liability for Ordinary Negligence. Neither Lenders, nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Lenders shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or
damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by Borrower
or any other party through the ordinary negligence of Lenders, or any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or any other Person affiliated
with or representing Lenders, but nothing herein shall relieve Lenders from
liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.10 Amendment. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be waived or
amended, except in a writing executed by Borrower and a duly authorized officer
of Lenders.
9.11 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower of
each and every obligation under this Agreement.
9.12 Attorneys Fees, Costs and Charges. Borrower shall reimburse Lenders for all
reasonable attorneys' fees and all filing, recording, search, title insurance,
appraisal, audit, and other reasonable costs incurred by Lenders, pursuant to,
or in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (whether or not a lawsuit
is filed), including, but not limited to, any reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs Lenders incurs in order to do the following: prepare and negotiate this
Agreement and the documents relating to this Agreement; obtain legal advice in
connection with this Agreement or Borrower; enforce, or seek to enforce, any of
its rights; prosecute actions against, or defend actions by, Account Debtors;

complaint to be relieved of the automatic stay in bankruptcy; file or prosecute
any probate claim, bankruptcy claim, third-party claim, or other claim; examine,
audit, copy, and inspect any of the Collateral or any of Borrower's books and
records; protect, obtain possession of, lease, dispose of, or otherwise enforce
Lender's security interest in, the Collateral; and otherwise represent Lenders
in any litigation relating to Borrower. If either Lenders or Borrower files any
lawsuit against the other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the
prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable
costs and attorneys' fees, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of, execution upon or defense of any
order, decree, award or judgment. Borrower shall also pay Lender's standard
charges for returned checks and for wire transfers, in effect from time to time.
All attorneys' fees, costs and charges to which Lenders may be entitled pursuant
to this Paragraph may be charged by Lenders to Borrower's loan account and shall
thereafter bear interest at the same rate as the Receivable Loans.
Page 17
9.13 Benefit of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs,
beneficiaries and representatives of Borrower and Lenders, provided, however,
that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Lenders, and any prohibited assignment
shall be void. No consent by Lenders to any assignment shall release Borrower
from its liability for the Obligations. This Agreement and the duties and
obligations contained herein shall be solely for the benefit of the parties
hereto and no third party beneficiary shall have any rights hereunder as a third
party beneficiary or otherwise.
9.14 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one Person,
their liability shall be joint and several, and the compromise of any claim
with, or the release of; any Borrower shall not constitute a compromise with, or
a release of, any other Borrower.
9.15 Limitation of Actions. Any claim or cause of action by Borrower against
Lenders, its directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys,
based upon, arising from, or relating to this Loan Agreement, or any other
present or future document or agreement, or any other transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or
thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Lenders, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, shall be
barred unless asserted by Borrower by the commencement of an action or
proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint
within one year after the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such
claim or cause of action, or any part thereof; is based, and the service of a
summons and complaint on an officer of Lenders, or on any other person
authorized to accept service on behalf of Lenders, within thirty (30) days
thereafter. Borrower agrees that such one-year period is a reasonable and
sufficient time for Borrower to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause
of action. The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or
extended except by the written consent of Lenders in its sole discretion. This
provision shall survive any termination of this Loan Agreement or any other
present or future agreement.
9.16 Paragraph Headings; Construction. Paragraph headings are only used in this
Agreement for convenience. Borrower and Lenders acknowledge that the headings
may not describe completely the subject matter of the applicable paragraph, and
the headings shall not be used in any manner to construe, limit, define or
interpret any term or provision of this Agreement. The term "including",
whenever used in this Agreement, shall mean "including but not limited to". This
Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated between the parties and no
uncertainty or ambiguity in any term or provision of this Agreement shall be
construed strictly against Lenders or Borrower under any rule of construction or
otherwise.
9.17 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND LENDERS EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF,
OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE
INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN LENDERS AND BORROWER, OR ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR
OMISSIONS OF LENDERS OR BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES,
AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH LENDERS OR BORROWER, IN
ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.
10 THE AGENT AND CO-AGENTS
Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent
and the Co-Agents, respectively, to take such action as agent on its behalf and
to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan as are delegated to the
Agent and the Co-Agents, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by the Loan documents (including, without limitation, enforcement
or collection of the debt resulting from the advances), neither the Agent nor
the Co-Agents shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action,
but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully
protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instruction of the
Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders;
provided, however, that neither the Agent nor the Co-Agents shall be required to
take any action which exposes any of them to liability or which is contrary to
any Loan document or applicable law.
Page 18
Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Agent receives funds for application
to the Advances in circumstances under which the Loan documents do not specify
the Advances or the Facility to which such funds are to be applied, the Agent
may elect to distribute such Advances to each Lender ratably in accordance with
such Lender's proportionate share of all outstanding Advances, in payment or
prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances of such Lender as the Agent shall
direct or in reduction of the Facility B Loan first.
Reliance. Neither the Agent nor any of the Co-Agents or any of their respective
directors, officers, agents, attorneys or employees shall be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with
any Loan documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent and
the Co-Agents: (i) may treat the Lender which made any Advances as the holder of
the Debt resulting therefrom until the Agent receives and accepts an Assignment
and Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible
Assignee, as assignee; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel
for the Borrower) independent public accountants and other experts selected by
the Agent or the Co-Agents and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith by them in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any
Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties
or representations made in, or in connection with, any Loan document; (iv) shall

of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan document on the part of
the Borrower or any guarantor or to inspect the property (including the books
and records) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (v) shall not be
responsible' to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Loan document or
collateral covered thereby or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant thereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any
Loan document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other
instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, cable, telecopier or telex)
believed by the Agent or the Co-Agents as the case may be, to be genuine and
signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
Agent, Co-Agents and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment and the Advances
made by it, the Agent and each Co-Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under the Loan documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not the Agent or a Co-Agent; and the term Lender or Lenders shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Agent and each Co-Agent in its
individual capacity. The Agent and each Co-Agent and its affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any of its subsidiaries and
any person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any
such subsidiary, all as if the Agent or each Co-Agent were not the Agent or a
Co-Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Page 19
Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any Co-Agent or any other Lender and based on
the financial and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any Co-Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent and each Co-Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective
principal amounts of the Advances then owing to each of them (or if no Advances
are at the time outstanding or if any Advances are then owing to Persons which
are not Lenders, ratably according to the respective amounts of their
Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties1 actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against the Agent or such Co-Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of the Loan documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent or such
Co-Agent under any Loan document1 provided that no Lender shall be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the
Agent's or a Co-Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by
a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent and each Co-Agent promptly
upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including
counsel fees) incurred by the Agent or such Co-Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Loan
documents, or any of them, to the extent that the Agent or such Co-Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.
Successor Administrative Agent or Co-Agents. The Agent and any Co-Agent. may
resign at any time as Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, under the Loan
documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and
may be removed as Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, under the Loan
documents at any time with cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents. If no
successor Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by
the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days
after the retiring Agent's or the Co-Agent's giving of notice of resignation or
the Majority Lenders' removal of the retiring Agent or Co-Agent, then the
retiring Agent or Co-Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, which shall be a commercial bank
organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof
and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, under
the Loan documents by a successor Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, such
successor Agent or Co-Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent or Co-Agent,
as the case may be, and the retiring Agent or Co-Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent's
or Co-Agent's resignation or removal under the Loan documents, the provisions of
this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Agent or co-Agent, as the case may be, under the Loan
documents.
