If any Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by the Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense, other than as a result of delay by the Agent or a Lender) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is ninety (90) days prior to the date on which the Agent or such Lender first made demand therefor; provided, that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply: (i) to any payment to a Lender that fails to comply with Section 6.12(c), or (ii) to any Taxes imposed by reason of the voluntary change by a Lender of the jurisdiction to which such Lender is subject from the United States to a jurisdiction outside the United States.

(b) If Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for the account of the Agent and the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(c) Each Lender, assignee and participant that is a U.S. person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender (or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Credit Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on or before the date on which such participant purchases the related participation), two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Each Lender, assignee and participant that is not a U.S. person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender (or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Credit Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on or before the date on which such participant purchases the related participation) either:

(i) two duly completed and signed copies of any of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under any income tax treaty) or Form W-8IMY or successor and related applicable forms, as the case may be, certifying to such Lender's entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Credit Agreement (or successor forms), or

-27-

(ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and that does not comply with the requirements of clause (A) hereof, (x) a statement in form and content reasonably acceptable to Agent and Borrower to the effect that such Foreign Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. Taxes under Code section 871(h) or 881(c) (a "Foreign Lender Complete Exemption Certificate"), and (y) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or successor and related applicable form.

Further, each Foreign Lender agrees (i) to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender (or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), two further duly completed and signed copies of the applicable Form W-8 or successor and related applicable forms or certificates, on or before the date that any such form or certificate, as the case may be, expires or becomes obsolete and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change from the most recent form(s) or certificate(s) previously delivered by it to the Borrower (or, in the case of participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender that delivers a Foreign Lender Complete Exemption Certificate, to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender, such statement on an annual basis on the anniversary of the date on which such Foreign Lender became a party to this Credit Agreement and to deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender, such additional statements and forms as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower from time to time, and (iii) to notify promptly the Borrower and the Agent (or, in the case of Participant, the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) if it is no longer able to deliver, or if it is required to withdraw or cancel, any form or certificate previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section 6.12(c). The Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 6.12 with respect to United States withholding and income Taxes to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph other than as a result of a change in law.

Section 6.13 General Obligations.

All extensions of credit by any Lender to the Borrower under the Term Notes and all other Obligations to the Agent and the Lenders under this Credit Agreement and any of the Loan Documents shall constitute one general obligation secured by the security interest in all of the Collateral and by all other security interests, liens, claims, and encumbrances heretofore, now, or at any time or times hereafter granted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to the Agent and the Lenders. The Borrower agrees that all of the rights of the Agent and the Lenders set forth in this Credit Agreement shall apply to any modification of or supplement to this Credit Agreement, any supplements or exhibits hereto, and other agreements, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Section 6.14 Replacement of Lender Due to Increased Costs.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an "Increased Cost Lender") shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 6.5, the Borrower may, at its option, so long as no Default or no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify such Increased Cost Lender and the Agent of its intention to obtain, at the Borrower's expense, a replacement lender ("Increased Cost Replacement Lender") for such Increased Cost Lender, which Increased Cost Replacement Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In the event the Borrower obtains an Increased Cost Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following notice of its intention to do so, Increased Cost Lender shall sell, at par, its interest in the Loans, the Obligations related thereto and its rights hereunder as a Lender arising from and after the date of such sale (but not its rights and liabilities in respect thereof or under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents for obligations, indemnities and other matters arising or matters occurring before the date of such sale) shall terminate on the date of such sale, and Increased Cost Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. Upon any such sale and payment, such replaced Increased Cost Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender" for purposes hereof, other than with respect to such rights and obligations that survive termination as set forth herein. Without in any manner limiting the remedies of the Lenders, the obligations of an Increased Cost Lender to sell and assign its Pro Rata Share under this Section 6.14 shall be specifically enforceable by the Borrower, by an action brought in any court of competent jurisdiction for such purpose, it being acknowledged and agreed that, in light of the disruption in the administration of the Loans and the other terms of the Loan Documents that an Increased Cost Lender may cause, damages and other remedies at law are not adequate.

AGENT.

Section 20.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 20.2 Delegation of Duties.

The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in such selection.

Section 20.3 Liability of the Agents.

The Agent shall: (a) not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or any agent, employee or attorney-in-fact under or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for the Agent's own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof.

-76-

Section 20.4 Reliance by Agent.

(a) The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, 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 or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article 5, each Lender that has signed this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

Section 20.5 Notice of Default.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or from the Borrower referring to this Credit Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such direction, 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 or in the best interest of the Lenders.

-77-

Section 20.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Credit Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent herein, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Person retained by the Agent.

Section 20.7 Indemnification of Agent.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each of the Agent, its agents, employees, representatives and attorneys-in-fact (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each of the Agent, its agents, employees, representatives and attorneys-in-fact Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any of the Agent, its agents, employees, representatives and attorneys-in-fact of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such of the Agent, its agents, employees, representatives and attorneys-in-fact own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 20.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent's Special Counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries. The covenants of this Section 20.7 shall survive payment or satisfaction of all Obligations and the resignation of the Agent.

-78-

Section 20.8 Agent in its Individual Capacity.

Granite Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary and their respective Affiliates as though Granite Agent were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Granite Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or any Subsidiary or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Granite Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Agent and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Granite, in its individual capacity.

Section 20.9 Successor Agent.

The Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Agent resigns under this Credit Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be with the consent of the Borrower (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing no such Borrower consent is required. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Agent or any other Lender. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 20 shall no longer apply to such resigning agent except Section 20.4 and 20.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Credit Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

-79-

Section 20.10 Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

Subject to the Subordination Agreement, in case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent hereunder.

(c) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 20.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(a) to release any lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document: (i) upon termination of all commitments to lend hereunder and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

-80-

(b) to subordinate any lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any lien on such property that is permitted by Section 11.2; and

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty pursuant to this Section 20.11.

Section 20.12 Lender Pledge.

Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 20.13 Return of Payments; Defaulting Lender.

(a) If the Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Credit Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Agent from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and such related payment is not received by the Agent, then the Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(b) If the Agent determines at any time that any amount received by the Agent under this Credit Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Agent on demand any portion of such amount that the Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(c) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a "Lender" (or be included in the calculation of "Required Lenders" hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document.

-81-

(d) If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments entitled pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 20.13, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in extensions of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery, without interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this clause (d) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (d) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this clause (d) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 20.14 Right to Perform, Preserve and Protect.

If the Borrower fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document beyond any applicable grace period, the Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at the Borrower's expense. Following such failure by the Borrower, the Agent is further authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders to make expenditures from time to time which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to: (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by the Borrower, the Collateral, or any portion thereof and/or (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations.

Section 20.15 Amendment of Article 20.

The Borrower hereby agrees that this Article 20 constitutes an agreement among, and solely for the benefit of, the Agent and the Lenders, (and the Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that the Borrower is not a party to such foregoing provisions) and that any and all of the provisions of this Article 20 and that such agreements among the Lenders may be amended at any time by the Lenders without the consent or approval of or notice to the Borrower (other than any requirement of notice to the Borrower of the resignation of the Agent).

CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.

(a) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
