SECTION 2. SHARING OF RECOVERIES.

through setoff of deposit balances or otherwise or payments or
recoveries from any security interest granted to any Creditor
securing any Subsidiary Agreement) made by a Subsidiary Guarantor
pursuant to the terms of the Subsidiary Agreements ("Subsidiary
Payments") (x) within 90 days prior to the commencement of a
Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors or the Obligors, as the case may be, or (y) following
the acceleration of the Notes generally or the Loans or the
acceleration of any other Subject Obligation, shall be shared so
that each Creditor shall receive its Pro Rata Share of Subsidiary
Payments. Accordingly, each Creditor hereby agrees that in the
event (a) an event described in clauses (x) or (y) above shall
have occurred, (b) any Creditor shall receive a Subsidiary
Payment (a "Receiving Creditor"), and (c) any other Creditor
shall not concurrently receive its Pro Rata Share of Subsidiary
Payments from the Subsidiary Guarantors, then the Receiving
Creditor shall promptly remit the Excess Subsidiary Payment to
each other Creditor who shall then be entitled thereto so that
after giving effect to such payment (and any other payments then
being made by any other Receiving Creditor pursuant to this
Section 2) each Creditor shall have received its Pro Rata Share
of Subsidiary Payments.
Any such payments shall be deemed to be and shall be made in
consideration of the purchase for cash at face value, but without
recourse, ratably from the other Creditors of such amount of
Notes or Loans (or interest therein), as the case may be
(exclusive of any lien or security interest granted to such other
Creditors and not securing a Subsidiary Agreement), necessary to
cause such Creditor to share such Excess Subsidiary Payment with
the other Creditors as hereinabove provided; provided, however,
that if any such purchase or payment is made by any Receiving
Creditor and if such Excess Subsidiary Payment or part thereof is
thereafter recovered from such Receiving Creditor by the
Subsidiary Guarantors (including, without limitation, by any
trustee in bankruptcy of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any
creditor thereof), the related purchase from the other Creditors
shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to
the portion of such Excess Subsidiary Payment so recovered, but
without interest; and provided further nothing herein contained
shall obligate any Creditor to resort to any setoff, application
of deposit balance or other means of payment under any Subsidiary
Agreement or avail itself of any recourse by resort to any
property of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, the taking
of any such action to remain within the absolute discretion of
such Creditor without obligation of any kind to the other
Creditors to take any such action.
Section 2.2. Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, any amounts to be distributed to the Banks after
an event described in clause (x) or (y) of Section 2.1 above for
application as provided in the Loan Agreement with respect to the
undrawn portion of any outstanding letters of credit issued by
the Banks shall be held by the Banks receiving the same in an
interest bearing trust account (the "Special Trust Account") as
collateral security for such liabilities until a drawing thereon,
at which time such amounts, together with the interest accrued
thereon, shall be applied to such letter of credit liabilities.
If any such letters of credit expire without having been drawn
upon in full, amounts held in the Special Trust Account with
respect to the undrawn portion of such letters of credit,
together with the interest accrued thereon, shall be treated as a
Subsidiary Payment and shared in the manner provided in Section
2.1 hereof.
SECTION 3. AGREEMENTS AMONG THE CREDITORS.
Section 3.1. Independent Actions by Creditors. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall prohibit any Creditor from
accelerating the maturity of, or demanding payment from the
Subsidiary Guarantors on, any Subject Obligation of any Obligor
to such Creditor or from instituting legal action against any
Obligor or Subsidiary Guarantor or to obtain a judgment or other
legal process in respect of such Subject Obligation, but any
funds received from the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with
any recovery under any Subsidiary Agreement (exclusive of
recoveries arising from liens or security interests granted to
other Creditors and not securing any Subsidiary Agreement) shall
be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 3.2. Relation of Creditors. This Agreement is entered
into solely for the purposes set forth herein, and no Creditor
assumes any responsibility to any other party hereto to advise
such other party of information known to such regarding the
financial condition of the Obligors or the Subsidiary Guarantors
or of any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment
of the Subject Obligations. Each Creditor specifically
acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement
is or is intended to be for the benefit of the Obligors or the
Subsidiary Guarantors and nothing contained herein shall limit or
in any way modify any of the obligations of the Obligors or the
Subsidiary Guarantors to the Creditors.
Section 3.3. Acknowledgment of Guaranties. The Banks hereby
expressly acknowledge the existence of the Noteholder Guaranty
and the Noteholders hereby expressly acknowledge the existence of
the Bank Guaranty.
Section 3.4. Additional Creditors. Additional Persons which
receive a "Guaranty" of "Indebtedness" of the Company (as such
terms are defined in the Note Purchase Agreements) as
contemplated in Section 9.8 of the Note Purchase Agreements may
become "Creditors" hereunder by executing and delivering to each
of the then existing Creditors (i) a copy of this Agreement so
executed and (ii) a copy of the agreement or documents pursuant
to which such Person becomes a creditor of the Company.
Accordingly, upon the execution and delivery of any such copy of
this Agreement by any such Person, such Person shall thereinafter
become a Creditor for all purposes of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Agreement, the provisions hereof shall not in any manner modify
any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Company and its
Subsidiaries contained in the Credit Documents with respect to
(x) limitations on additional indebtedness of the Company or any
Subsidiary permitted under any Credit Document or (y) limitations
on liens or security interests which may be created or granted by
the Company or any Subsidiary under such Credit Document.

Obligations, and the term "Creditor" shall include any such

the Subsidiary Agreements are no longer in effect for the benefit
of such Subject Obligations.
Section 4.8. Severability. In case any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal
