respective meanings set forth below:

"Acquisition" means the acquisition of (i) a controlling equity
interest in another Person (including the purchase of an option, warrant or
convertible or similar type security to acquire such a controlling interest
at the time it becomes exercisable by the holder thereof), whether by
purchase of such equity interest or upon exercise of an option or warrant

of such Person or of a line or lines of business conducted by such Person.

"Advance" means a borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility
consisting of a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

through one or more intermediaries controls, or is controlled by, or is
under common control with the Borrower; or (ii) which beneficially owns or
holds 10% or more of any class of the outstanding voting stock (or in the
case of a Person which is not a corporation, 10% or more of the equity
interest) of the Borrower; or 10% or more of any class of the outstanding

Revolving Credit Termination Date on a pro rata basis as to the total borrowing
requested by the Borrower on any day determined by such Lender's Applicable
Commitment Percentage up to but not exceeding the Revolving Credit Commitment of
such Lender, PROVIDED, however, that the Lenders will not be required and shall
have no obligation to make any such Advance (i) so long as a Default or an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if the Agent has accelerated
the maturity of any of the Notes as a result of an Event of Default; PROVIDED
further, however, that immediately after giving effect to each such Advance and
any concurrent reduction of Loans with the proceeds of such Advance, the
principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings plus Letter of Credit
Outstandings plus Swing Line Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment. Within such limits, the Borrower may borrow, repay and
reborrow under the Revolving Credit Facility on a Business Day from the Closing
Date until, but (as to borrowings and reborrowings) not including, the Revolving
Credit Termination Date; PROVIDED, however, that (y) no Loan that is a
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made which has an Interest Period that extends
beyond the Stated Termination Date and (z) each Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate
Loan may, subject to the provisions of SECTION 2.7, be repaid only on the last
day of the Interest Period with respect thereto unless such payment is
accompanied by the additional payment, if any, required by SECTION 5.5.

(b) AMOUNTS. Except as otherwise permitted by the Lenders from
time to time, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Outstandings plus Letter of Credit Outstandings plus Swing Line Outstandings
shall not exceed at any time the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and, in the
event there shall be outstanding any such excess, the Borrower shall immediately
make such payments and prepayments as shall be necessary to comply with this
restriction. Each Loan hereunder, other than Base Rate Refunding Loans, and
each Conversion under SECTION 2.8, shall be in an amount of at least $5,000,000,
and, if greater than $5,000,000, an integral multiple of $500,000.

(c) ADVANCES. (i) An Authorized Representative shall give the
Agent (1) at least three (3) Business Days' irrevocable written notice by
telefacsimile transmission of a Borrowing Notice or Interest Rate Selection
Notice (as applicable) with appropriate insertions, effective upon receipt, of
each Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan (whether representing an additional
borrowing hereunder or the Conversion of a borrowing hereunder from Base Rate
Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans) prior to 11:30 A.M. and (2) irrevocable written
notice by telefacsimile transmission of a Borrowing Notice or Interest Rate
Selection Notice (as applicable) with appropriate insertions, effective upon
receipt, of each Loan (other than Base Rate Refunding Loans to the extent the
same

are effected without notice pursuant to SECTION 2.1(c)(iv)) that is a Base
Rate Loan (whether representing an additional borrowing hereunder or the

notice shall specify the amount of the borrowing, the Type of Loan (Base Rate
or Eurodollar Rate), the date of borrowing and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan,

receipt of such Borrowing Notice or Interest Rate Selection Notice, as the
case may be, together with the amount of each Lender's portion of an Advance
requested thereunder, shall be provided by the Agent to each Lender by
telefacsimile transmission with reasonable promptness, but (provided the
Agent shall have received such notice by 11:30 A.M.) not later than 1:00 P.M.
on the same day as the Agent's receipt of such notice.

(ii) Not later than 3:00 P.M. on the date specified for each borrowing
under this SECTION 2.1, each Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to
the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount of the Advance or Advances to
be made by it on such day available by wire transfer to the Agent in the amount
of its pro rata share, determined according to such Lender's Applicable
Commitment Percentage of the Loan or Loans to be made on such day. Such wire
transfer shall be directed to the Agent at the Principal Office and shall be in
the form of Dollars constituting immediately available funds. The amount so
received by the Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by delivery of the proceeds thereof

Borrowing Notice by the Authorized Representative and reasonably acceptable to

Borrower of the end of the syndication, Interest Periods shall be limited to one
month and outstanding Loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate shall be for
Interest Periods ending on the same date. If the Agent does not receive a
Borrowing Notice or an Interest Rate Selection Notice giving notice of election
of the duration of an Interest Period or of Conversion of any Loan to or
Continuation of a Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan by the time prescribed by
SECTION 2.1(c) OR 2.8, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to Convert

requirement of notice to or from the Borrower from immediately available funds
which shall be advanced as a Base Rate Refunding Loan by each Lender under the
Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to such Lender's Applicable
Commitment Percentage of such Reimbursement

Obligation, and (B) if the conditions to making a Loan as herein provided
shall not then be satisfied, each of the Lenders shall fund by payment to the
Agent (for the benefit of the Issuing Bank) in immediately available funds
the purchase from the Issuing Bank of their respective Participations in the
related Reimbursement Obligation based on their respective Applicable
Commitment Percentages of the Total Letter of Credit Commitment. If a
drawing is presented under any Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms
thereof and the Borrower shall not immediately reimburse the Issuing Bank in
respect thereof, then notice of such drawing or payment shall be provided
promptly by the Issuing Bank to the Agent and the Agent shall provide notice
to each Lender by telephone or telefacsimile transmission. If notice to the
Lenders of a drawing under any Letter of Credit is given by the Agent at or
before 12:00 noon on any Business Day, each Lender shall, pursuant to the

Refunding Loan or fund the purchase of its Participation in the amount of
such Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage of such drawing or payment and
shall pay such amount to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the
Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds before 2:30

2.2. PAYMENT OF INTEREST. (a) The Borrower shall pay interest to the
Agent for the account of each Lender on the outstanding and unpaid principal
amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period commencing on the date

for Base Rate Loans or applicable Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans,
as designated by the Authorized Representative pursuant to SECTION 2.1;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any amount shall not be paid when due (at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such amount shall bear interest
thereafter at the Default Rate from date due until paid, PROVIDED, FURTHER,
HOWEVER, that if an Event of Default occurs by reason of such non-payment,

under SECTION 5.5. All prepayments of Loans made by the Borrower shall be in the
amount of $5,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of
$500,000, or the amount equal to all Revolving Credit Outstandings, or such
other amount as necessary to comply with SECTION 2.1(b) or SECTION 2.8.

2.4. NON-CONFORMING PAYMENTS. (a) Each payment of principal (including
any prepayment) and payment of interest and fees, and any other amount
required to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall be made
to the Agent at the Principal Office, for the account of each Lender, in
Dollars and in immediately available funds before 12:30 P.M. on the date such
payment is due. The Agent may upon the request of the Borrower, but shall
not be obligated to, debit the amount of any such payment which is not made
by such time to any ordinary deposit account, if any, of the Borrower with
the Agent.

(b) The Agent shall deem any payment made by or on behalf of the
Borrower hereunder that is not made both in Dollars and in immediately
available funds and prior to 12:30 P.M. to be a non-conforming payment. Any
such payment shall not be deemed to be received by the Agent until the later
of (i) the time such funds become available funds and (ii) the next Business
Day. Any non-conforming payment may, to the extent provided in SECTION 10.1,
become a Default or Event of Default. Interest shall continue to accrue on
any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until the later of
(x) the date such funds become available funds or (y) the next Business Day
at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due and payable.

(c) In the event that any payment hereunder or under the Notes
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then such due date
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless provided otherwise
under clause (ii) of the definition of "Interest Period"; PROVIDED that interest
shall continue to accrue during the period of any such extension and PROVIDED
further, that in no event shall any such due date be extended beyond the
Revolving Credit Termination Date.

2.5. NOTES. Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by the Note
payable to the order of such Lender in the respective amount of its Applicable
Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitment, which Note shall be
dated the Closing Date or a later date pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance
and shall be duly completed, executed and delivered by the Borrower.

2.6. PRO RATA PAYMENTS. Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) each
payment on account of the principal of and interest on the Loans and the fee
described in SECTION 2.10 shall be made to the Agent for the account of the
Lenders pro rata based on their Applicable Commitment

Percentages, (b) all payments to be made by the Borrower for the account of
each of the Lenders on account of principal, interest and fees, shall be made
without diminution, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim, and (c) the Agent
will promptly distribute to the Lenders in immediately available funds
payments received in fully collected, immediately available funds from the
Borrower.

2.7. REDUCTIONS. The Borrower shall, by notice from an Authorized
Representative, have the right from time to time but not more frequently than
once each calendar month (excluding prepayments made pursuant to SECTION 3.13),
upon not less than three (3) Business Days' written notice to the Agent,
effective upon receipt, to permanently reduce the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment. The Agent shall give each Lender, within one (1) Business Day of
receipt of such notice, telefacsimile notice, or telephonic notice (confirmed in
writing), of such reduction. Each such reduction shall be in the aggregate
amount of $5,000,000 or such greater amount which is in an integral multiple of
$500,000, or the entire remaining Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and shall
permanently reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each reduction of the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be accompanied by payment of the Loans
to the extent that the principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings plus
Letter of Credit Outstandings plus Swing Line Outstandings exceeds the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such reduction, together with
accrued and unpaid interest on the amounts prepaid. No such reduction shall
result in the payment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of
the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless such prepayment is
accompanied by amounts due, if any, under SECTION 5.5.

2.8. CONVERSIONS AND ELECTIONS OF SUBSEQUENT INTEREST PERIODS. Subject
to the limitations set forth below and in ARTICLE V, the Borrower may:

(a) upon delivery, effective upon receipt, of a properly
completed Interest Rate Selection Notice to the Agent on or before 10:30 A.M. on
any Business Day, Convert all or a part of Eurodollar Rate Loans under the
Revolving Credit Facility to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest
Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loans; and

(b) provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, upon delivery, effective upon receipt, of a properly
completed Interest Rate Selection Notice to the Agent on or before 10:30 A.M.
three (3) Business Days' prior to the date of such election or Conversion:

(i) elect a subsequent Interest Period for all or a
portion of Eurodollar Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit
Facility to begin on the last day of the then current Interest
Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loans; and

(ii) Convert Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit
Facility to Eurodollar Rate Loans on any Business Day.

Each election and Conversion pursuant to this SECTION 2.8 shall be subject
to the limitations on Eurodollar Rate Loans set forth in the definition of
"Interest Period" herein and in SECTIONS 2.1, 2.3 and ARTICLE V. The Agent
shall give written notice to each Lender of such notice of election or
Conversion prior to 3:00 P.M. on the day such notice of election or Conversion
is received. All such Continuations or Conversions of Loans shall be effected
pro rata based on the Applicable Commitment Percentages of the Lenders.

2.9. INCREASE AND DECREASE IN AMOUNTS. The amount of the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment which shall be available to the Borrower as
Advances shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit
Outstandings and Swing Line Outstandings.

2.10. UNUSED FEE. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and
ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to
the Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders based on their Applicable
Commitment Percentages, an unused fee equal to the Applicable Unused Fee
multiplied by the average daily amount by which the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment exceeds the sum of (i) Revolving Credit Outstandings without giving
effect to Swing Line Outstandings plus (ii) Letter of Credit Outstandings. Such
fee shall be due in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December commencing March 31, 1998 to and on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Lender fails to
make available any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment when requested,
such Lender shall not be entitled to accrue or receive payment of its pro rata
share of such fee until such Lender shall make available such portion. Such fee
shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of
days elapsed.

2.11. DEFICIENCY ADVANCES. No Lender shall be responsible for any
default of any other Lender in respect to such other Lender's obligation to
make any Loan or fund its purchase of any Participation hereunder nor shall
the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder be increased as a
result of such default of any other Lender. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, in the event any Lender shall fail to advance funds to the
Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility as herein provided, the Agent
may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, advance under the Note
in its favor as a Lender all or any portion of such amount or amounts (each,
a "deficiency advance") and shall thereafter be entitled to payments of
principal of and interest on such deficiency advance in the same manner and
at the same interest rate or rates to which such other Lender would have been
entitled had it made such advance under its Note; provided that, upon payment
to the Agent from such other Lender of the entire outstanding amount of each
such deficiency advance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
from the most recent date or dates interest was paid to the Agent by the
Borrower on each Loan comprising the deficiency advance at the interest rate
per annum for overnight borrowing by the Agent from the Federal Reserve Bank,
then such payment shall be credited against the applicable Note of the Agent
in full payment of such deficiency advance and the Borrower shall be deemed
to have borrowed the amount

of such deficiency advance from such other Lender as of the most recent date
or dates, as the case may be, upon which any payments of interest were made
by the Borrower thereon.

2.12. USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Loans made pursuant to the
Revolving Credit Facility hereunder shall be used by the Borrower for general
working capital needs, purchases for cancellation and redemptions of
Subordinated Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Subordinated Notes
and other lawful corporate purposes, including the making of Acquisitions and
Capital Expenditures permitted hereunder and refinancing existing Indebtedness
as permitted hereunder.

2.13. MANDATORY REDUCTIONS. The Borrower shall make the following
required permanent reductions in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and
prepayments of the Revolving Credit Outstandings and all interest accrued
thereon (to the extent required hereunder) within the time period specified
below:

(a) from the Net Issuance Proceeds of each public offering or
private placement of Indebtedness for Money Borrowed or Subordinated
Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary permitted hereunder (other
than securities issued to the Borrower or another Subsidiary) in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Issuance Proceeds, each
such reduction and prepayment to be made within ten (10) Business Days of
receipt of such Net Issuance Proceeds and upon not less than five (5)
Business Days' written notice to the Agent, which notice shall include a
certificate of an Authorized Representative setting forth in reasonable
detail the calculations utilized in computing the amount of such reduction
and prepayment; PROVIDED, that no prepayment shall be required with
proceeds of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under SECTION 9.5.

(b) from the Net Cash Proceeds of each Asset Sale permitted
hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash
Proceeds which (A) exceed $500,000 for any single or series of related
transactions or (B) when aggregated with all other Net Cash Proceeds from
Asset Sales received during any Fiscal Year exceed $1,000,000, in each
case, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds
in excess of such threshold amounts; PROVIDED, however, that no reduction
or prepayment will be required under this SECTION 2.13(b) for up to
$1,000,000 of Net Cash Proceeds received in any Fiscal Year to the extent
reinvested in assets similar to those subject to the Asset Sale and
utilized in the operation of the Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries'
business so long as reinvested in such Fiscal Year or within 90 days of the
end of such Fiscal Year. Each such reduction and prepayment to be made
within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the 90 day period
referred to in the preceding sentence and upon not less than five (5)
Business Days written notice to the Agent, which notice shall include a
certificate of an Authorized Representative setting forth in reasonable
detail the calculations utilized in computing the amount of such reduction
and prepayment; provided that no reduction or prepayment shall be required
with the Net Cash Proceeds of a sale and leaseback permitted under SECTION
9.13.

The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of Net
Issuance Proceeds and Net Cash Proceeds set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above.
To the extent that the principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings plus
Letter of Credit Outstandings plus Swing Line Outstandings exceeds the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such reduction, the Borrower
shall repay the Revolving Loans to the extent of such excess, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders.

The Agent shall give each Lender, within one (1) Business Day, telefacsimile
notice of each notice of prepayment described in clauses (a) and (b) of this
SECTION 2.13. All mandatory prepayments made pursuant to this SECTION 2.13 shall
be applied ratably to the Revolving Credit Outstandings based on each Lender's
Applicable Commitment Percentage, such payments to be applied first to any
outstanding Base Rate Loans and thereafter to Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to this SECTION 2.13 other than on
the last day of an Interest Period shall be accompanied by the additional
payment, if any, required by SECTION 5.5.

2.14. SWING LINE. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, in order to administer the Revolving Credit Facility
in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between the Agent
and the Lenders, NationsBank shall make available Swing Line Loans to the
Borrower prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. NationsBank shall not
make any Swing Line Loan pursuant hereto (i) if to the actual knowledge of
NationsBank the Borrower is not in compliance with all the conditions to the
making of Loans set forth in this Agreement, (ii) if after giving effect to such
Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings exceed $10,000,000, or (iii) if
after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, the sum of the Swing Line
Outstandings, Revolving Credit Outstandings and Letter of Credit Outstandings
exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. The Borrower may borrow, repay
and reborrow under this SECTION 2.14. Unless notified to the contrary by
NationsBank, borrowings under the Swing Line shall be made in the minimum amount
of $500,000 or, if greater, in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000,
or in the amount necessary to effect a Base Rate Refunding Loan, upon written
request by telefacsimile transmission, effective upon receipt, by an Authorized
Representative of the Borrower made to NationsBank not later than 12:30 P.M. on
the Business Day of the requested borrowing. Each such Borrowing Notice shall
specify the amount of the borrowing and the date of borrowing, and shall be in
the form of EXHIBIT D-2, with appropriate insertions. Unless notified to the
contrary by NationsBank, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an
amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 or the aggregate amount of all
Swing Line Outstandings. If the Borrower instructs NationsBank to debit any
demand deposit account of the Borrower in the amount of any payment with respect
to a Swing Line Loan, or NationsBank otherwise receives repayment, after 12:30
P.M. on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next
Business Day.

(b) Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the Prime Rate minus
0.5%. The interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account of
NationsBank, and all accrued and unpaid interest on Swing Line Loans shall be
payable on the dates and in the manner provided in SECTIONS 2.2(b) AND 2.4 with
respect to interest on Base Rate Loans. The Swing Line Outstandings shall be
evidenced by the Swing Line Note delivered to NationsBank.

(c) Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed
to have purchased from NationsBank a Participation therein in an amount equal to
that Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage of such Swing Line Loan. Upon
demand made by NationsBank, each Lender shall, according to its Applicable
Commitment Percentage of such Swing Line Loan, promptly provide to NationsBank
its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its Participation therein.
Any Advance made by a Lender pursuant to demand of NationsBank of the purchase
price of its Participation shall be deemed (i) provided that the conditions to
making Loans shall be satisfied, a Base Rate Refunding Loan under SECTION 2.1
until the Borrower Converts such Base Rate Loan in accordance with the terms of
SECTION 2.8, and (ii) in all other cases, the funding by each Lender of the
purchase price of its Participation in such Swing Line Loan. The obligation of
each Lender to so provide its purchase price to NationsBank shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of an Event of
Default or any other occurrence or event.

The Borrower, at its option and subject to the terms hereof, may request an
Advance pursuant to SECTION 2.1 in an amount sufficient to repay Swing Line
Outstandings on any date and the Agent shall provide from the proceeds of such
Advance to NationsBank the amount necessary to repay such Swing Line
Outstandings (which NationsBank shall then apply to such repayment) and credit
any balance of the Advance in immediately available funds in the manner directed
by the Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.1(c)(ii). The proceeds of such Advances
shall be paid to NationsBank for application to the Swing Line Outstandings and
the Lenders shall then be deemed to have made Loans in the amount of such
Advances. The Swing Line shall continue in effect until the earlier of (a) the
Revolving Credit Termination Date and (b) the resignation of NationsBank as
Agent pursuant to SECTION 11.7, at which time all Swing Line Outstandings and
accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable in full.

ARTICLE III

LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1. LETTERS OF CREDIT. The Issuing Bank agrees, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, upon request of the Borrower to issue from
time to time for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries Letters of
Credit upon delivery to the Issuing Bank of an Application and Agreement for
Letter of Credit relating thereto in form and content acceptable to the Issuing
Bank; PROVIDED, that (i) the Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the
Total Letter of Credit Commitment and (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued
if, after giving effect thereto, Letter of Credit Outstandings plus Revolving
Credit Outstandings plus Swing Line Outstandings shall exceed the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date
(including all rights of the Borrower or any beneficiary named in such Letter of
Credit to require renewal) or payment date occurring later than the earlier to
occur of one year after the date of its issuance or the fifth Business Day prior
to the Stated Termination Date.

3.2. REIMBURSEMENT.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Issuing Bank immediately on demand at the Principal Office all amounts required
to pay all drafts drawn or purporting to be drawn under the Letters of Credit
and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the
Letters of Credit. The Issuing Bank agrees to give the Borrower prompt notice
of any request for a draw under a Letter of Credit. To the extent the Issuing
Bank is not reimbursed by the Agent for a drawing as provided in SECTION
3.1(c)(iv), the Issuing Bank may charge any account the Borrower may have with
it for any and all amounts the Issuing Bank pays under a Letter of Credit, plus
charges and reasonable expenses as from time to time agreed to by the Issuing
Bank and the Borrower; provided that to the extent permitted by
SECTION 2.1(c)(iv) and SECTION 2.14, amounts shall be paid pursuant to Advances
under the Revolving Credit Facility or, if the Borrower shall elect by notice to
the Agent prior to an Advance pursuant to SECTION 3.1(c)(iv), by Swing Line
Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay the Issuing Bank interest on any
Reimbursement Obligations not paid when due hereunder at the Base Rate plus two
percent (2.0%), or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, if lower, such
rate to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for actual days
elapsed.

(b) In accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.1(c), the
Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent of any drawing under any Letter of Credit
promptly following the receipt by the Issuing Bank of such drawing.

(c) Each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) shall
automatically acquire on the date of issuance thereof, a Participation in the
liability of the Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit in an amount
equal to such Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage of such liability, and
to the extent that the Borrower is obligated to pay the Issuing Bank under
SECTION 3.2(a), each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) thereby shall
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably

assume, and shall be unconditionally obligated to pay to the Issuing Bank as
hereinafter described, its Applicable Commitment Percentage of the liability
of the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit.

(i) Each Lender (including the Issuing Bank in its
capacity as a Lender) shall, subject to the terms and conditions
of ARTICLE II, pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing
Bank at the Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately
available funds, an amount equal to its Applicable Commitment
Percentage of any drawing under a Letter of Credit, such funds to
be provided in the manner described in SECTION 2.1(c)(iv).

(ii) Simultaneously with the making of each payment by a
Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to SECTION 2.1(c)(iv)(B),
such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action
on the part of the Issuing Bank or such Lender, acquire a
Participation in an amount equal to such payment (excluding the
portion thereof constituting interest accrued prior to the date
the Lender made its payment) in the related Reimbursement
Obligation of the Borrower. The Reimbursement Obligation of the
Borrower shall be immediately due and payable whether by Advances
made in accordance with SECTION 2.1(c)(iv), Swing Line Loans made
in accordance with SECTION 2.14, or otherwise.

(iii) Each Lender's obligation to make payment to the
Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to SECTION
2.1(c)(iv) and this SECTION 3.2(c), and the right of the Issuing
Bank to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional,
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and shall be
made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. If any Lender is obligated to pay but does not pay
amounts to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in full
upon such request as required by SECTION 2.1(c)(iv) or this
SECTION 3.2(c), such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Agent
for the account of the Issuing Bank interest on the unpaid amount
for each day during the period commencing on the date of notice
given to such Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.1(c) until such Lender
pays such amount to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank
in full at the interest rate per annum for overnight borrowing by
the Issuing Bank from the Federal Reserve Bank.

(iv) In the event the Lenders have purchased
Participations in any Reimbursement Obligation as set forth in
clause (ii) above, then at any time payment (in fully collected,
immediately available funds) of such Reimbursement Obligation, in
whole or in part, is received by Issuing Bank from the Borrower,
the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Lender an amount
equal to its Applicable Commitment Percentage of such payment
from the Borrower.

(d) Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter, the
Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Agent a notice describing the aggregate
undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit at the end of such quarter and the Agent
shall deliver a copy of such notice to the Lenders. Upon the request of any
Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Agent, and the
Agent shall deliver to such Lender, any other information reasonably requested
by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit outstanding.

(e) The issuance by the Issuing Bank of each Letter of Credit
shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in ARTICLE VI, be
subject to the conditions that such Letter of Credit be in such form and contain
such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank consistent
with the then current practices and procedures of the Issuing Bank with respect
to similar letters of credit, and the Borrower shall have executed and delivered
such other instruments and agreements relating to such Letters of Credit as the
Issuing Bank shall have reasonably requested consistent with such practices and
procedures and shall not be in conflict with any of the express terms herein
contained. All Letters of Credit shall be issued pursuant to and subject to the
Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 1993 revision,
International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 and all subsequent
amendments and revisions thereto. To the extent that any provision contained in
the Applications and Agreements for Letters of Credit shall be in conflict, this
Agreement shall control.

(f) The Borrower agrees that the Issuing Bank may, in its sole
discretion, accept or pay, as complying with the terms of any Letter of Credit,
any drafts or other documents otherwise in order which may be signed or issued
by an administrator, executor, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver, attorney in fact or
other legal representative of a party who is authorized under such Letter of
Credit to draw or issue any drafts or other documents.

(g) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of SECTION
12.9 but subject to the limitation on liability set forth therein, the Borrower
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing Bank, each other Lender
and the Agent from and against any and all claims and damages, losses,
liabilities, reasonable costs and expenses which the Issuing Bank, such other
Lender or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against the Issuing Bank,
such other Lender or the Agent) by any Person by reason of or in connection with
the issuance or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of
Credit; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the
Issuing Bank, any other Lender or the Agent for any claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, (i) caused
by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the party to be indemnified or
(ii) caused by the failure of the Issuing Bank to pay under any Letter of Credit
after the presentation to it of a request for payment strictly complying with
the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, unless such payment is
prohibited by any law, regulation, court order or decree. The indemnification
and hold harmless provisions of this SECTION 3.2(g) shall survive repayment of
the Obligations, occurrence of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and
expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(h) Without limiting Borrower's rights as set forth in SECTION
3.2(g), the obligation of the Borrower to immediately reimburse the Issuing Bank
for drawings made under Letters of Credit and the Issuing Bank's right to
receive such payment shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and that
such obligations of the Borrower shall be performed strictly in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and such Letters of Credit and the related
Applications and Agreements for any Letter of Credit, under all circumstances
whatsoever, including the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letter
of Credit, the obligation supported by the Letter of Credit or
any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively,
the "Related LC Documents");

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to or
departure from all or any of the Related LC Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense (other
than the defense of payment in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement) or other rights which the Borrower may have at any
time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of
Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary
or any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Lenders or
any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents,
the Related LC Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any breach of contract or other dispute between the
Borrower and any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of
Credit (or any persons or entities for whom such beneficiary or
any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Lenders or any
other Person;

(v) any draft, statement or any other document presented
under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(vi) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or
other indulgence or modification granted or agreed to by the
Agent, with or without notice to or approval by the Borrower in
respect of any of the Obligations under this Agreement; or

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

3.3. LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY FEES. The Borrower shall pay to the
Agent, (i) for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders based on their Applicable
Commitment Percentages, a fee on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on
each outstanding Letter of Credit at a rate equal to the

Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) for the Issuing Bank,
0.125% based on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on each
outstanding Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be computed on a per annum
basis and shall be due with respect to each Letter of Credit quarterly in
arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, the
first such payment to be made on the first such date occurring after the date
of issuance of a Letter of Credit. The fees described in this SECTION 3.3
shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number
of days elapsed.

3.4. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES. The Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank
such administrative fee and other fees, if any, in connection with the Letters
of Credit in such amounts and at such times as the Issuing Bank and the Borrower
shall agree from time to time.

ARTICLE IV

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT

4.1. GUARANTY. To guarantee the full and timely payment and
performance of all Obligations now existing or hereafter arising, the Borrower
shall cause the Facility Guaranty to be delivered by each Subsidiary in form

The Borrower hereby agrees to cause a Facility Guaranty to be delivered by any
hereafter acquired or created Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of SECTION 8.19.

4.2. STOCK PLEDGE. (a) As security for the full and timely payment
and performance of (i) all Obligations now existing or hereafter arising and
(ii) if applicable, its obligations as a Guarantor under the Facility Guaranty,
the Loan Parties shall on or before the Closing Date deliver to the Agent, in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, a Pledge Agreement

demonstrating a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of not greater than 4.50 to
1.00, the Borrower may request that the Pledged Stock be released. Upon such
request, the Pledge Agreement shall automatically be terminated without any
consent from or any act by the Agent, the Lenders or any other party.

4.3. FURTHER ASSURANCES. At the request of the Agent, the Borrower
will or will cause its Subsidiaries, as the case may be to execute, by its duly
authorized officers, alone or with the Agent, any certificate, instrument,
statement or document, or to procure any such certificate, instrument, statement
or document, or to take such other action (and pay all reasonably connected
costs) which the Agent reasonably deems necessary from time to time to create,
continue or preserve the liens and security interests in the Collateral (and the
perfection and priority thereof) contemplated hereby and by the other Loan
Documents.

ARTICLE V

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

5.1. INCREASED COST AND REDUCED RETURN.

(a) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law,
rule, or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule, or regulation,
or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank, or
comparable agency:

(i) shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Eurodollar
Rate Loans, its Note, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, or
change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or its Note in respect of
any Eurodollar Rate Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net
income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its
principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);

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

(iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable
Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition
affecting this Agreement or its Note or any of such extensions of credit or
liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender
(or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, Converting into, Continuing, or
maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans or to reduce any sum received or
receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this
Agreement or its Note with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. If any Lender
requests compensation by the Borrower under this SECTION 5.1(a), the Borrower
may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), suspend the obligation
of such Lender to make or Continue Loans of the Type with respect to which such
compensation is requested, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of
such Type, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be
in effect (in which case the provisions of SECTION 5.4 shall be applicable);
PROVIDED that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to
receive the compensation so requested.

(b) If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that
the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital
adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such
Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or
directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time upon demand the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
reduction.

(c) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of
any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will
entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this SECTION 5.1 and will
designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the
judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Lender
claiming compensation under this SECTION 5.1 shall furnish to the Borrower and
the Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid
to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In
determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

(d) Each demand for compensation pursuant to this SECTION 5.1 shall
be made not later than 180 days after the date on which the Person making the
demand determines that such compensation is payable hereunder.

5.2. LIMITATION ON TYPES OF LOANS. If on or prior to the first day of
any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan:

(a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar
Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be
conclusive) and notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding Eurodollar
Rate Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying the
relevant Type of Loans and the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such
condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make
additional Loans of such Type, Continue Loans of such Type, or to Convert Loans
of any other Type into Loans of such Type and the Borrower shall, on the last
day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Loans of the
affected Type, either

prepay such Loans or Convert such Loans into another Type of Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

5.3. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its
Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans
hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and such
Lender's obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to Convert
other Types of Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such
time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Rate Loans (in
which case the provisions of SECTION 5.4 shall be applicable).

5.4. TREATMENT OF AFFECTED LOANS. If the obligation of any Lender to
make a Eurodollar Rate Loan or to Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other
Type into, Loans of a particular Type shall be suspended pursuant to SECTION
5.1, 5.2 OR 5.3 hereof (Loans of such Type being herein called "Affected Loans"
and such Type being herein called the "Affected Type"), such Lender's Affected
Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s)
of the then current Interest Period(s) for Affected Loans (or, in the case of a
Conversion required by SECTION 5.3 hereof, on such earlier date as such Lender
may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such
Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in
SECTION 5.1, 5.2 OR 5.3 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer
exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender's Affected Loans have been so
Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise
be applied to such Lender's Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its
Base Rate Loans; and

(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such
Lender as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made or Continued instead as
Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be
Converted into Loans of the Affected Type shall be Converted instead into
(or shall remain as) Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the
circumstances specified in SECTION 5.1, 5.2 OR 5.3 hereof that gave rise to the
Conversion of such Lender's Affected Loans pursuant to this SECTION 5.4 no
longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances
ceasing to exist) at a time when Loans of the Affected Type made by other
Lenders are outstanding, such Lender's Base Rate Loans shall be automatically
Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for
such outstanding Loans of the Affected Type, to the extent necessary so that,
after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Loans of the
Affected Type and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts,
Types, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving
Credit Commitments.

5.5. COMPENSATION. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of such Lender) to

compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (including loss of
anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Rate
Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the
Loans pursuant to SECTION 10.1) on a date other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including,
without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in
ARTICLE VII to be satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a
Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date for such borrowing, Conversion,
Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing,
prepayment, Continuation, or Conversion under this Agreement.

5.6. TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the
account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and
all liabilities with respect thereto, EXCLUDING, in the case of each Lender and
the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by
the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political
subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from
or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary
so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this SECTION 5.6) such Lender or the Agent
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) the Borrower
shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in SECTION 12.2, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

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

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for
the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this SECTION 5.6) paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be)
and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto.

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

(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to
provide the Borrower and the Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to SECTION
5.6(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation
occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be
provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under SECTION
5.6(a) OR 5.6(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a
reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure
to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such
Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for
the account of any Lender pursuant to this SECTION 5.6, then such Lender will
agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable
Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which
may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

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

(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
this SECTION 5.6 shall survive the termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments and the payment in full of the Notes.

5.7. REPLACEMENT LENDERS. The Borrower may, on ten (10) Business
Days' prior written notice to the Agent and a Lender, cause a Lender who has
incurred increased costs, is required to pay additional amounts under SECTION
5.6 or is unable to make Eurodollar Rate

Loans to (and such Lender shall) assign, pursuant to SECTION 12.1,
all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible
Assignee designated by the Borrower which is willing to become a Lender
for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the
Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on
such Loans, any accrued but unpaid fees with respect to such Lender's
Revolving Credit Commitment and any other amount payable to such Lender
under this Agreement; PROVIDED, however, that any expenses or other
amounts which would be owing to such Lender pursuant to any
indemnification provision hereof (including, if applicable, SECTION
5.5) shall be payable by the Borrower as if the Borrower had prepaid
the Loans of such Lender rather than such Lender having assigned its
interest hereunder. The Borrower or the assignee shall pay the
applicable processing fee under SECTION 12.1.

provided to the Agent in connection with the negotiation or preparation of

representation or statement contained therein not misleading at the time it
was made.

7.15. NO CONSENTS, ETC. Neither the respective businesses or
properties of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, nor any relationship among
the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary and any other Person, nor any circumstance
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan

consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or
qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person on the
part of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary as a condition to the execution,
delivery and performance of, or consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents, which, if not obtained or effected, would be

Plan or trust to a material tax or penalty

on prohibited transactions imposed under Internal Revenue Code Section
4975 or ERISA, (ii) incurred any material accumulated funding
deficiency with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, whether or not
waived, or any other liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding

timely made, cured within 30 days after the Borrower became aware of
the failure, a required installment or other required payment under
Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of such
Employee Benefit Plan; or (iv) failed to make a material required
contribution or payment to a Multiemployer Plan;

(c) Except for the voluntary termination of a Pension Plan
under Section 4041 of ERISA, no Termination Event has occurred or is
reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Pension Plan or
Multiemployer Plan, and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
has incurred any material unpaid withdrawal liability with respect to
any Multiemployer Plan;

(d) The present value of all vested accrued benefits on an
on-going (non-termination) basis under each Employee Benefit Plan which
is subject to Title IV of ERISA, did not, as of the most recent
valuation date for each such plan, exceed the then current value of the
assets of such Employee Benefit Plan allocable to such benefits;

(e) To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, each Employee
Benefit Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, maintained by the Borrower
or any ERISA Affiliate, has been administered in accordance with its
terms in all material respects and is in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable requirements of ERISA and other applicable
laws, regulations and rules;

(f) The consummation of the Loans and the issuance of the
Letters of Credit provided for herein will not involve any prohibited
transaction under ERISA which is not subject to a statutory or

exists or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower after due inquiry, is
threatened concerning or involving any Employee Benefit Plan, other
than routine claims for benefits.

Default or Event of Default hereunder.

material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and has been issued
and currently maintains all required federal, state and local permits, licenses,
certificates and approvals. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has been
notified of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation which, and neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary is aware of any facts which, (i) calls into

question, or could reasonably be expected to call into question, compliance
by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with any Environmental Laws, (ii) which
seeks, or could reasonably be expected to form the basis of a meritorious
proceeding, to suspend, revoke or terminate any license, permit or approval
necessary for the generation, handling, storage, treatment or disposal of any
Hazardous Material, or (iii) seeks to cause, or could reasonably be expected
to form the basis of a meritorious proceeding to cause, any property of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Loan Party to be subject to any
restrictions on ownership, use, occupancy or transferability under any
Environmental Law, so long as the effect of any of the foregoing could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

of their employment by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and there are no
strikes, work stoppages, election or decertification petitions or

material labor/employee related controversies or proceedings pending or, to
the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and any of its
employees, other than employee grievances arising in the ordinary course of
business which could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the
aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(b) Except to the extent a failure to maintain compliance would
not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and each Subsidiary is in
compliance in all respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations
pertaining to labor or employment matters, including without limitation those
pertaining to wages, hours, occupational safety and taxation and there is
neither pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened any litigation,
administrative proceeding nor any investigation, in respect of such matters
which, if decided adversely, could reasonably be likely, individually or in
the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

criminal, or other similar laws.

any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates;

(d) other than as provided in SECTION 10.2, shall not be
required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings
under any Loan Document; and

(e) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it under or in connection with any Loan Document, except for
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.

11.2. RELIANCE BY AGENT. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
certification, notice, instrument, writing, or other communication (including,
without limitation, any thereof by telephone or telefacsimile) believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of
the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements

of legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent
accountants, and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and
treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof
unless and until the Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance
executed in accordance with SECTION 12.1 hereof. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Agent shall not be required to
exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or
to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and
such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes
the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or
applicable law or unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by
the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred
by it by reason of taking any such action.

11.3. DEFAULTS. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (other than a payment
default) unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the
Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that the Agent receives such a
notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall (subject to SECTION 11.2
hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall reasonably be directed by the Required Lenders, PROVIDED THAT, unless and
until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interest of the Lenders.

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

11.5. INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed under SECTION 12.9 hereof, but without limiting the
obligations of the Borrower under such Section) ratably in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit Commitments, for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses (including attorneys' fees), or disbursements of any kind and nature
whatsoever that

may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent (including by
any Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent
under any Loan Document (including any of the foregoing arising from the
negligence of the Agent); PROVIDED that no Lender shall be liable for any of
the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for
its ratable share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrower under
SECTION 12.5, to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for
such costs and expenses by the Borrower. The agreements contained in this
SECTION 11.5 shall survive payment in full of the Loans and all other amounts
payable under this Agreement.

11.6. NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS. Each Lender agrees that
it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries and decision to
enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and
decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for
notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of any Loan
Party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that may come into the possession
of the Agent or any of its affiliates.

11.7. RESIGNATION OF AGENT. The Agent may resign at any time by giving
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent and, so long
as no Default or Event of Default exists, the prior written approval of the
Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor
Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders 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
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized
under the laws of the United States of America having combined capital and
surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of
the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE XI 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.

11.8. FEES. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its
individual account, an annual Agent's fee as from time to time agreed to by the
Borrower and the Agent in writing.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS. (a) Each Lender may assign to
one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations

Loans, its Note, and its Revolving Credit Commitment); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that

(i) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

(ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender or
an assignment of all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement

and the Southwest Agreement shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(iii) any assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of its
Revolving Credit Commitment shall include an assignment of a similar percentage
of its Revolving Credit Commitment under the Southwest Agreement;

EXHIBIT B hereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a
processing fee of $3,500.

Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such
assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and
the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the
consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section, the assignor, the Agent
and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new
Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. If the assignee is not
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof,
it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to exemption
from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with SECTION 5.6.

(b) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
SECTION 12.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted
by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the

Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the
parties thereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment and payment
of the processing fee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has
been completed and is in substantially the form of EXHIBIT B hereto, (i) accept
such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in
the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto.

(d) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in all
or a portion of its rights, obligations or rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment or its
Loans); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(iii) the participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the yield protection
provisions contained in ARTICLE V to the extent such Lender is entitled to make
a claim by reason of such benefit and the right of set-off contained in SECTION
12.3, and (iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the
obligations of the Borrower relating to its Loans and its Note and to approve
any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other
than amendments, modifications, or waivers decreasing the amount of principal of
or the rate at which interest is payable on such Loans or Note, extending any
scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on
such Loans or Note, or extending its Revolving Credit Commitment).

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

(f) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower or
any of the Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to
assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants)
to the extent provided in SECTION 8.1.

12.2. NOTICES. Any notice shall be conclusively deemed to have been
received by any party hereto and be effective (i) on the day on which delivered
(including hand delivery by commercial courier service) to such party (against
receipt therefor), (ii) on the date of receipt at such address, telefacsimile
number or telex number as may from time to time be specified by such party in
written notice to the other parties hereto, in the case of notice by telegram,
telefacsimile or telex, respectively (where the receipt of such message is
verified by return), or (iii) on the fifth Business Day after the day on which
mailed, if sent prepaid by certified or

registered mail, return receipt requested; in each case delivered,

(d) if to any other Loan Party, at the address set forth on the
signature page of the Facility Guaranty or Security
Instrument executed by such Loan Party, as the case may be.

12.3. RIGHT OF SET-OFF; ADJUSTMENTS. (a) Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender (and each of its
affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (or any of its
affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any
and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, irrespective of whether
such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and
although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such
Lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each
Lender under this SECTION 12.3 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender may
have.

(b) If any Lender (a "benefitted Lender") shall at any time receive
any payment of all or part of the Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, or
receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
by set-off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender's Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lender's Loans owing to it, or shall provide such
other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof,
as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the
Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or
benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase
shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so
purchasing a participation from a Lender pursuant to this SECTION 12.3 may, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Person were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. Nothing in this Section shall limit the right of any Lender to
exercise in any right of set off or counterclaim it may have and apply the
amount subject to such exercise to the payment of Indebtedness of the Borrower
other than the Obligations.

12.4. SURVIVAL. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made herein shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and
the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the execution and delivery to the
Lenders of this Agreement and the Notes and shall continue in full force and
effect so long as any of Obligations remain outstanding or any Lender has any
commitment hereunder or the Borrower has continuing obligations hereunder unless
otherwise provided herein. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto
is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and
permitted assigns of such party and all covenants, provisions and agreements by
or on behalf of the Borrower which are contained in the Loan Documents shall
inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Lenders or
any of them.

12.5. EXPENSES. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and
expenses of the Agent in connection with the syndication, preparation,
execution, and delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the
other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent (including the cost of
internal counsel) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as
to its rights and responsibilities under the Loan Documents. The Borrower
further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent,
including without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for
the Agent, in connection with any future modification or amendment of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the other documents delivered
hereunder. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses
of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses and the cost of internal counsel), in connection
with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or
otherwise) of the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered
hereunder.

12.6. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or
waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders
(and, if ARTICLE XI or the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby,
by the Agent); PROVIDED that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed
by each Lender directly affected thereby, (i) increase the Revolving Credit
Commitments of the Lenders, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on
any Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (iii) postpone any
date fixed for the payment of any scheduled installment of principal of or
interest on any Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or for
termination of any Revolving Credit Commitment (other than waivers of mandatory
prepayments which shall require only the consent of the Required Lenders), (iv)
change the percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments or of the unpaid
principal amount of the Notes, or the number of Lenders, which shall be required
for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this SECTION 12.6 or any
other provision of this Agreement or (v) release any Guarantor or all or
substantially all of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided herein); and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no such amendment or waiver that affects the rights,
privileges or obligations of NationsBank as provider of Swing Line Loans, shall
be effective unless signed in

writing by NationsBank or that affects the rights, privileges or obligations
of the Issuing Bank as issuer of Letters of Credit, shall be effective unless
signed in writing by the Issuing Bank;

Notwithstanding any provision of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, as
between the Agent and the Lenders, execution by the Agent of any amendment or
waiver shall not be deemed conclusive evidence that the Agent has obtained the
written consent of the Required Lenders. No notice to or demand on the Borrower
in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein. No delay or omission on any Lender's or the Agent's part in exercising
any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other
right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.

12.7. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to
produce or account for more than one such fully-executed counterpart.

12.8. TERMINATION. The termination of this Agreement shall not affect
any rights of the Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent or any obligation of the
Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent, arising prior to the effective date of such
termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative
until all transactions entered into or rights created or obligations incurred
prior to such termination have been fully disposed of, concluded or liquidated
and the Obligations arising prior to or after such termination have been
irrevocably paid in full. The rights granted to the Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect,
notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all of the Obligations
have been paid in full after the termination hereof (other than Obligations in
the nature of continuing indemnities or expense reimbursement obligations not
yet due and payable, which shall continue) or the Borrower has furnished the
Lenders and the Agent with an indemnification satisfactory to the Agent and each
Lender with respect thereto. All representations, warranties, covenants,
waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until
payment in full of the Obligations unless otherwise provided herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after receipt of any payment of all or any
part of the Obligations, any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender
such payment to any Person because such payment is determined to be void or
voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, a diversion of trust funds or
for any other reason, this Agreement shall continue in full force and the
Borrower shall be liable to, and shall indemnify and hold the Agent or such
Lender harmless for, the amount of such payment surrendered until the Agent or
such Lender shall have been finally and irrevocably paid in full. The
provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be and remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent or
the Lenders in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken
shall be without prejudice to the Agent or the Lenders' rights under this
Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having
become final and irrevocable.

12.9. INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. (A) THE BORROWER
AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER AND EACH OF
THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
AND ADVISORS (EACH, AN "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS,
DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED OR
AWARDED AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, IN EACH CASE ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR BY REASON OF (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN CONNECTION
WITH ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR PROCEEDING OR PREPARATION OF DEFENSE IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH) THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREIN OR THE ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOANS [(INCLUDING
ANY OF THE FOREGOING ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY)],
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY, COST, OR EXPENSE IS
FOUND IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT. IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING TO
WHICH THE INDEMNITY IN THIS SECTION 12.9 APPLIES, SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL BE
EFFECTIVE WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT
BY THE BORROWER, ITS DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS OR CREDITORS OR AN INDEMNIFIED
PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS OTHERWISE A PARTY THERETO
AND WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED;
SUBJECT, HOWEVER, TO THE LIMITATION AS TO GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT
CONTAINED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE. THE BORROWER AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM
AGAINST THE AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, AND ADVISERS, ON
ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR
OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREIN OR THE ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOANS. SO LONG AS
NO EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL HAVE OCCURRED HEREUNDER, NO CLAIM FOR WHICH INDEMNITY
IS CLAIMED HEREUNDER SHALL BE COMPROMISED OR SETTLED BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY
WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE BORROWER. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN
SHALL PREVENT THE BORROWER FROM BRINGING A SEPARATE ACTION AGAINST ANY PARTY
HERETO FOR BREACH OF ANY CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION CONTAINED IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
NOR SHALL THE

PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.9 BE APPLICABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION
BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND ANY OTHER PARTY FOR BREACH OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION
CONTAINED IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS IN WHICH THE BORROWER IS THE PREVAILING PARTY.

(B) WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE SURVIVAL OF ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OF THE
BORROWER HEREUNDER, THE AGREEMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER CONTAINED IN
THIS SECTION 12.9 SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER
AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

12.10. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents shall be determined to be illegal or invalid as to one or more of
the parties hereto, then such provision shall remain in effect with respect to
all parties, if any, as to whom such provision is neither illegal nor invalid,
and in any event all other provisions hereof shall remain effective and binding
on the parties hereto.

12.11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO
THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS PROPOSALS, NEGOTIATIONS,
REPRESENTATIONS, COMMITMENTS AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN OR AMONG THE
PARTIES, BOTH ORAL AND WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT THERETO.

12.12. AGREEMENT CONTROLS. In the event that any term of any of the
Loan Documents other than this Agreement conflicts with any express term of this
Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control to the
extent of such conflict.

12.13. USURY SAVINGS CLAUSE. Notwithstanding any other provision
herein, the aggregate interest rate charged under any of the Notes, including
all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest
under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term is
defined below). If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the
preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful
Rate (as defined below), the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder
shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of
interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due
hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all
times been in effect. In addition, if, when the Loans made hereunder are repaid
in full, the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase
provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have
been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement
had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the difference between the
amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if
the Highest

Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to
any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for,
charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess
of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled
automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender's option be
applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded
to the Borrower. As used in this paragraph, the term "Highest Lawful Rate"
means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time
to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable
to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by
law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which
allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now
allow.

12.14. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN
THOSE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS WHICH EXPRESSLY PROVIDE THAT THEY SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

(b) THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND
CONSENTS THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN MAY BE INSTITUTED
IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF DALLAS, STATE OF
TEXAS, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND, BY THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, OR TO THE EXERCISE OF
JURISDICTION OVER IT AND ITS PROPERTY BY, ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS GENERALLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

(c) THE BORROWER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY
PERSONAL SERVICE OF A COPY OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT OR OTHER LEGAL
PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OR BY REGISTERED OR
CERTIFIED MAIL (POSTAGE PREPAID) TO THE ADDRESS OF THE BORROWER PROVIDED IN
SECTION

12.2, OR BY ANY OTHER METHOD OF SERVICE PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE APPLICABLE
LAWS IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

(d) NOTHING CONTAINED IN SUBSECTIONS (a) OR (b) HEREOF SHALL
PRECLUDE THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER FROM BRINGING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT IN THE COURTS OF
ANY JURISDICTION WHERE THE BORROWER OR ANY OF THE BORROWER'S PROPERTY OR
