accommodations shall be made with reference to the Apparel Division Borrowing
Base (as to the Apparel Division Borrowers) and the Shoe Division Borrowing Base
(as to the Shoe Division Borrowers) and shall be subject to Overall
Availability. Apparel Division Borrowing Base, Shoe Division Borrowing Base, and
Overall Availability shall be determined by the Administrative Agent by
reference to Borrowing Base Certificates furnished as provided in Section 6:6-3,
below, and shall take into account those Reserves as the Administrative Agent
may determine as being applicable thereto, as provided in Section 2:2-3.
(b) The commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender to provide
such loans, advances, and financial accommodations is subject to Section 2:2-23.
(c) The proceeds of borrowings under the Revolving Credit
shall be used solely for the following:

(i) To retire the Borrowers' working capital facilities
in effect at the execution of this Agreement.

(ii) For on-going working capital and general corporate
requirements of the Borrowers.

No proceeds of a borrowing under the Revolving Credit may be used, nor shall any
be requested, with a view towards the accumulation of any general fund or funded
reserve of any of the Borrowers other than in the ordinary course of the
Borrowers' business and consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

2-2. ADVANCES IN EXCESS OF AVAILABILITIES.

(a) No Revolving Credit Lender has any obligation to provide
credit to the Shoe Division Borrowers in excess of the Shoe Division Borrowing

circumstances where Overall Availability is equal to or less than zero.

16:16-3(a) (which relate to Permissible Overloans).

Reserve on account of circumstances which the Administrative
Agent determines as having a material adverse effect on the
maintenance of loan to collateral values.

shall bear interest as if the same were loans and advances under the Revolving
Credit.
(c) The obligation to repay SwingLine Loans shall be evidenced
by a Note in the form of EXHIBIT 2:2-7(C), annexed hereto, executed by the
Borrower, and payable to the SwingLine Lender. Neither the original nor a copy
of that Note shall be required, HOWEVER, to establish or prove any Liability.
Upon the Borrowers' Representative's being provided with an affidavit, from the
Administrative Agent to the effect that said Note has been lost, mutilated, or
destroyed, the Borrowers shall execute a replacement thereof and deliver such
replacement to the SwingLine Lender.
(d) For all purposes of this Loan Agreement, the SwingLine
Loans and the Borrowers' obligations to the SwingLine Lender constitute and are
secured as "Liabilities".
(e) SwingLine Loans may be subject to periodic settlement with
the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in this Loan Agreement.

2-8. THE LOAN ACCOUNT.
(a) An account ("LOAN ACCOUNT") shall be opened on the books
of the Administrative

. 36 .

Agent. A record may be kept in the Loan Account of all Revolving Credit Loans
made under or pursuant to this Loan Agreement and of all payments thereon and
sub-accounts may be established in the Loan Account to reflect loans made to the
Shoe Division Borrowers and to the Apparel Division Borrowers.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall also keep a record (either
in the Loan Account or elsewhere, as the Administrative Agent may from time to
time elect) of all interest, fees, service charges, costs, expenses, and other
debits owed the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender on account
of the Liabilities and of all credits against such amounts so owed.
(c) All credits against the Liabilities shall be conditional
upon final payment to the Administrative Agent for the Account of each Revolving
Credit Lender of the items giving rise to such credits. The amount of any item
credited against the Liabilities which is charged back against Administrative
Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender for any reason or is not so paid shall be a
Liability and shall be added to the Loan Account, whether or not the item so
charged back or not so paid is returned.
(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees, service
charges, costs, and expenses for which the Borrowers are obligated hereunder are
payable on demand. In the determination of Shoe Division Borrowing Base, Apparel
Division Borrowing Base, and Overall Availability, the Administrative Agent may
deem fees, service charges, accrued interest, and other payments which will be
due and payable between the date of such determination and the first day of the
then next succeeding month as having been advanced under the Revolving Credit
whether or not such amounts are then due and payable.
(e) The Administrative Agent, without the request of the
Borrowers' Representative, may advance under the Revolving Credit any interest,
fee, service charge, or other payment to which the Administrative Agent or any
Revolving Credit Lender is entitled from any Borrower pursuant hereto and may
charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that Overall Availability
may then be equal to or less than zero. Such action on the part of the
Administrative Agent shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent's
rights and the Borrowers' obligations under Section 2:2-10(b). Any amount which
is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this
Section 2:2-8(e) shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Base Margin
Loans.
(f) In the absence of manifest error, any statement rendered
by the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender to the Borrowers'
Representative concerning the Liabilities shall be considered correct and
accepted by all Borrowers and shall be conclusively binding upon all Borrowers
unless the Borrowers' Representative provides the Administrative Agent with
written objection thereto within thirty (30) days from the mailing of such
statement, which written objection shall indicate, with particularity, the
reason for such objection. In the absence of manifest error, the Loan Account
and the Administrative Agent's books and records concerning the loan arrangement
contemplated herein and the Liabilities shall be prima facie evidence and proof
of the items described therein.

. 37 .

2-9. THE REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES. The obligation to repay loans and
advances under the Revolving Credit, with interest as provided herein, shall be
evidenced by Notes (each, a "REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE") in the form of EXHIBIT
2:2-9, annexed hereto, executed by the Borrowers, one payable to each Revolving
Credit Lender. Neither the original nor a copy of any Revolving Credit Note
shall be required, however, to establish or prove any Liability. Upon the
Borrowers' Representative's being provided with an affidavit, from the
Administrative Agent to the effect that any Revolving Credit Note has been lost,
mutilated, or destroyed, the Borrowers shall execute a replacement thereof and
deliver such replacement to the Administrative Agent.

2-10. PAYMENT OF THE LOAN ACCOUNT.
(a) The Borrowers may repay all or any portion of the
principal balance of the Loan Account from time to time until the Termination
Date. Unless the Borrowers' Representative otherwise advises the Administrative
Agent, such payments shall be applied first to Base Margin Loans and only then
to Libor Loans.
(b) The Borrowers, without notice or demand from the
Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, shall pay the
Administrative Agent the following (which payments shall be applied first to
Base Margin Loans and only then to Libor Loans):
(i) That amount, from time to time, which is
necessary so that Overall Availability is always equal to or greater
than zero.
(ii) That amount, from time to time, which is
necessary so that at least one dollar may be borrowed under the
Revolving Credit each by the Shoe Division Borrowers and the Apparel
Division Borrowers.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall endeavor to cause the
application of payments (if any), pursuant to Sections 2:2-10(a) and 2:2-10(b)
against Libor Loans then outstanding in such manner as results in the least cost
to the Borrowers, but shall not have any affirmative obligation to do so nor
liability on account of the Administrative Agent's failure to have done so. In
no event shall action or inaction taken by the Administrative Agent with respect
to such application excuse the Borrowers from any indemnification obligation
under Section 2:2-10(e).
(d) The Borrowers shall repay the then entire unpaid balance
of the Loan Account and all other Liabilities on the Termination Date.
(e) The Borrowers indemnifies each Revolving Credit Lender and
holds each Revolving Credit Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or
expense (including loss of anticipated profits and "breakage fees" (so-called))
which such Revolving Credit Lender may sustain or incur (including, without
limitation, by virtue of acceleration after the occurrence of any Event of
Default) as a consequence of the following:
(i) Default by any Borrower in payment of the
principal amount of or any

. 38 .

interest on any Libor Loan as and when due and payable, including any
such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such
Revolving Credit Lender to Revolving Credit Lenders of funds obtained
by it in order to maintain its Libor Loans
(ii) Default by any Borrower in making a borrowing or
conversion after the Borrowers' Representative has given a request for
a Revolving Credit Loan or a request to convert a Revolving Credit Loan
from one applicable interest rate to another.
(iii) The making of any payment on a Libor Loan or
the making of any conversion of any such Loan to a Base Margin Loan on
a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with
respect thereto.

2-11. INTEREST RATES ON REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS.
(a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest at the Base
Margin Rate unless timely notice is given (as provided in Section 2:2-5(a)) that
the subject Revolving Credit Loan (or a portion thereof) is, or is to be
converted to, a Libor Loan.
(b) Each Revolving Credit Loan which consists of a Libor Loan
shall bear interest at the applicable Libor Rate.
(c) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Borrowers'
Representative, by notice to the Administrative Agent, may cause all or a part
of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Account to bear interest at the Base
Margin Rate or the Libor Rate as specified from time to time by the Borrowers'
Representative. For ease of reference and administration, each part of the Loan
Account which bears interest at the same interest and for the same Interest
Period is referred to herein as if it were a separate "Revolving Credit Loan".
The Borrowers' Representative may combine Revolving Credit Loans obtained on the
same day for the Shoe Division Borrowers and the Apparel Division Borrowers for
purposes of the selecting an interest rate applicable thereto.
(d) The Borrowers' Representative shall not select, renew, or
convert any interest rate for a Revolving Credit Loan such that, in addition to
interest at the Base Margin Rate, there are more than Eight (8) Libor Loans
outstanding at any one time.
(e) The Borrowers shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on
each Revolving Credit Loan in arrears as follows:

(i) On the applicable Interest Payment Date for that
Revolving Credit Loan.
(ii) On the Termination Date and on the End Date.
(iii) Following the occurrence of any Event of
Default, with such frequency as may be determined by the
Administrative Agent. (f) Following the occurrence of any
Event of Default (and whether or not the Administrative Agent
exercises the Administrative Agent's rights on account
thereof), each Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest, at
the option of the Administrative Agent or at the direction of
the

. 39 .

SuperMajority Lenders at rate which is the aggregate of the then applicable rate
for that loan PLUS Two Percent (2%) per annum.

2-12. REVOLVING CREDIT UNDERWRITING FEE. As compensation for the
commitment of BBRF included herein to make loans and advances to the Borrower
and as compensation for its maintenance of sufficient funds available for such
purpose, BBRF has earned the Underwriting Fee, which shall be paid at the times
and in the amounts as set forth the Fee Letter.

2-13. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S FEE. In addition to any other fee or
expense paid by the Borrowers on account of the Revolving Credit, the Borrowers
shall pay the Administrative Agent an "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S FEE" (so referred
to herein) at the times and in the amounts as set forth the Fee Letter.

2-14. UNUSED LINE FEE. In addition to any other fee by the Borrowers on
account of the Revolving Credit, the Borrowers' Representative shall pay the
Administrative Agent, for the Pro-Rata account of the Revolving Credit Lenders,
an "UNUSED LINE FEE" (so referred to herein) in arrears, on the first day of
each quarter (and on the Termination Date). The Unused Line Fee shall be equal
to 0.375% per annum of the average difference, during the quarter just ended (or
relevant period with respect to the payment being made on the Termination Date)
between the Revolving Credit Loan Ceiling and the aggregate of the unpaid
principal balance of the Loan Account plus the undrawn amount of all L/C's
outstanding during the quarter just ended (or such relevant period).

2-15. REVOLVING CREDIT EARLY TERMINATION FEE.
(a) In the event that the Termination Date occurs, for any
reason, prior to February 28, 2001, then except as provided in Section
2:2-15(b), the Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent, for the Pro-Rata
account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, the "REVOLVING CREDIT EARLY TERMINATION
FEE" (so referred to herein) consisting of one percent (1.0%) of the Revolving
Credit Loan Ceiling.

(b) No Revolving Credit Early Termination Fee shall be due and
payable in the event of the early termination of the Revolving Credit in
connection with a refinancing of the Revolving Credit agented or provided by
BBRF or any affiliate of BBRF, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT neither BBRF nor any
affiliate of BBRF has agreed to provide any such refinancing.

2-16 CONCERNING FEES. Except as provided in Section 2:2-15(b) , the
Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any fee
previously earned by any Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement
notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or suspension or

. 40 .

termination of the Administrative Agent's and any Lender's respective obligation
to make loans and advances hereunder.

2-17. AGENT'S AND LENDERS' DISCRETION.
(a) Each reference in the Loan Documents to the exercise of
discretion or the like by any Agent or any Lender shall be to that Person's
reasonable exercise of its judgement, in good faith (which shall be presumed),
based upon that Person's consideration of any such factor as that Agent or that
Lender, taking into account information of which that Person then has actual
knowledge, reasonably believes:
(i) Will or reasonably could be expected to affect,
in more than a DE MINIMUS manner, the value of the Collateral, the
enforceability of the Collateral Agent's security and collateral
interests therein, or the amount which the Collateral Agent would
likely realize therefrom (taking into account delays which may possibly
be encountered in the Collateral Agent's realizing upon the Collateral
and likely Costs of Collection).
(ii) Indicates that any report or financial
information delivered to any Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of any
Borrower is incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading in any material
manner or was not prepared in accordance with the requirements of this
Agreement.
(iii) Constitutes a Suspension Event.
(b) In the exercise of such judgement, each Agent and each
Lender also reasonably may take into account any of the following factors:
(i) Those included in, or tested by, the definitions
of "Eligible Credit Corporate Receivables", "Eligible Credit Card
Receivables", "Eligible Host Store Receivables", Eligible Inventory,"
"Eligible In-Transit Inventory", "Eligible L/C Inventory" and "Retail".
(ii) Material changes in or to the mix of a
Borrower's Inventory.
(iii)Seasonality with respect to a Borrower's
Inventory and patterns of retail sales. (c) The burden of establishing the
failure of any Agent or any Lender to have acted in a reasonable manner in such
Person's exercise of discretion shall be the Borrowers'.

2-18. PROCEDURES FOR ISSUANCE OF L/C'S.
(a) The Borrowers' Representative may request that the
Administrative Agent cause the issuance of L/C's for the account of a Borrower.
Each such request shall be in such manner as may from time to time reasonably be
acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(b) The Administrative Agent will endeavor to cause the
issuance of any L/C so requested by the Borrowers' Representative, PROVIDED THAT
, at the time that the request is made, the Revolving Credit has not been
suspended as provided in Section 2:2-5(g) and if so issued:

. 41 .

(i) The aggregate Stated Amount of all L/C's then
outstanding, does not exceed $40,000,000.00.
(ii) The expiry of the L/C is not later than the
earlier of Thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date or the
following:
(A) Standby's: One (1) year from initial
issuance.
(B) Documentary's: One Hundred Eighty (180)
days from issuance.
(iii) Borrowing Base would not be exceeded.
(c) Each Borrower shall execute such documentation to
apply for and support the issuance of an L/C as may be required by the Issuer.

(d) There shall not be any recourse to, nor liability of,
the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender on account of

(i) Any delay or refusal by an Issuer to issue
an L/C;
(ii) Any action or inaction of an Issuer on account
of or in respect to, any L/C except where there is a specific finding
in a judicial proceeding (in which the Administrative Agent has had an
opportunity to be heard), from which finding no further appeal is
available, that the subject action or omission to act had been in
actual bad faith or grossly negligent or constituted willful
misconduct.
(e) The Borrowers shall reimburse the Issuer for the amount of
any honoring of a drawing under an L/C on the same day on which such honoring
takes place. The Administrative Agent, without the request of the Borrowers'
Representative, may advance under the Revolving Credit (and charge to the Loan
Account) the amount of any honoring of any L/C and other amount for which the
Borrowers, the Issuer, or the Revolving Credit Lenders become obligated on
account of, or in respect to, any L/C. Such advance shall be made whether or not
a Suspension Event is then extant or such advance would result in Borrowing
Base's being exceeded. Such action shall not constitute a waiver of the
Administrative Agent's rights under Section 2:2-10(b) hereof.

2-19. FEES FOR L/C'S.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the Pro-Rata account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, quarterly in arrears, on
the Termination Date, and on the End Date, on account of L/C's, the issuance of
which had been procured by the Administrative Agent, a fee of 1.75%, per annum,
of the weighted average Stated Amount of all L/C's outstanding at any time since
the most recent payment of such fee, except that following the occurrence of any
Event of Default (and whether or not the Administrative Agent exercises the
Administrative Agent's rights on account thereof), the above fees, at the option
of the Administrative Agent or the direction of the SuperMajority Lenders shall
be 3.75% per annum.

. 42 .

(b) In addition to the fee to be paid as provided in
Subsection 2:2-19(a), above, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent
(or to the Issuer, if so requested by Administrative Agent), on demand, all
customary issuance, processing, negotiation, amendment, and administrative fees
and other amounts charged by the Issuer on account of, or in respect to, any
L/C.

2-20. CONCERNING L/C'S.
(a) None of the Issuer, the Issuer's correspondents, or any
advising, negotiating, or paying bank with respect to any L/C shall be
responsible in any way for:
(i) The performance by any beneficiary under any L/C
of that beneficiary's obligations to any Borrower.
(ii) The form, sufficiency, correctness, genuineness,
authority of any person signing; falsification; or the legal effect of;
any documents called for under any L/C if (with respect to the
foregoing) such documents on their face appear to be in order.
(b) The Issuer may honor, as complying with the terms of any
L/C and of any drawing thereunder, any drafts or other documents otherwise in
order, but signed or issued by an administrator, executor, conservator, trustee
in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver, or other legal representative of the party authorized
under such L/C to draw or issue such drafts or other documents.
(c) The Borrower may instruct the Issuer concerning the
designation of any advising bank, paying bank, and negotiating bank, it BEING
UNDERSTOOD that the Issuer shall honor such designation to the extent then
practicable.
(d) All directions, correspondence, and funds transfers
relating to any L/C are at the risk of the Borrowers. The Issuer shall have
discharged the Issuer's obligations under any L/C which, or the drawing under
which, includes payment instructions, by the initiation of the method of payment
called for in, and in accordance with, such instructions (or by any other
commercially reasonable and comparable method). None of any Agent, any Revolving
Credit Lender, or the Issuer shall have any responsibility for any inaccuracy,
interruption, error, or delay in transmission or delivery by post, telegraph or
cable, or for any inaccuracy of translation.
(e) The Administrative Agent's, each Revolving Credit
Lender's, and the Issuer's rights, powers, privileges and immunities specified
in or arising under this Agreement are in addition to any heretofore or at any
time hereafter otherwise created or arising, whether by statute or rule of law
or contract.
(f) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided
hereunder or agreed to in writing by the Issuer and the Borrowers'
Representative, the L/C will be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce, Publication No. 500, and
any subsequent revisions thereof.

. 43 .

(g) If any change in any law, executive order or regulation,
or any directive of any administrative or governmental authority (whether or not
having the force of law), or in the interpretation thereof by any court or
administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration
thereof, shall either:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirements against letters of credit
heretofore or hereafter issued by any Issuer or with respect to any
obligation of any Revolving Credit Lender to lend or to fund drawings
under any L/C; or
(ii) impose on any Issuer any other condition or
requirements relating to any such letters of credit;
and the result of any event referred to in Section 2:2-20(g)(i) or
2:2-20(g)(ii), above, shall be to increase the cost to any Issuer of issuing or
maintaining any L/C (which increase in cost shall be the result of such Issuer's
reasonable allocation among that Issuer's letter of credit customers of the
aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such events), then, upon demand
by the Administrative Agent and delivery by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrowers' Representative of a certificate of an officer of the subject Issuer
describing, in reasonable detail, such change in law, executive order,
regulation, directive, or interpretation thereof, its effect on such Issuer, and
the basis for determining such increased costs and their allocation, the
Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, from time to time
as specified by the Administrative Agent, such amounts as shall be sufficient to
compensate such Issuer for such increased cost. In the absence of manifest
error, any Issuer's determination of costs incurred under Section 2:2- 20(g)(i)
or 2:2-20(g)(ii), above, and the allocation, if any, of such costs among the
Borrowers and other letter of credit customers of such Issuer, if done in good
faith and made on an equitable basis and in accordance with such officer's
certificate, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.
(h) The obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with
respect to L/C's are absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances,
whatsoever including, without limitation, the following:
(i) Any lack of validity or enforceability or
restriction, restraint, or stay in the enforcement of this Agreement,
any L/C, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto.
(ii) the Borrower's consent to any amendment or
waiver of, or consent to the departure from, any L/C.
(iii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense,
or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against the
beneficiary of any L/C.
(iv) Any good faith honoring of a drawing under any
L/C, which drawing possibly could have been dishonored based upon a
strict construction of the terms of the L/C.
(i) Each Issuer shall be deemed to have agreed as follows:
(i) That any action taken or omitted by that
Issuer, that Issuer's correspondents, or any advising, negotiating or paying
bank with respect to any L/C and the related drafts

. 44 .

and documents, shall be done in good faith and in compliance with foreign or
domestic laws.
(ii) That the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify the
Issuer, the Issuer's correspondents, or any advising, negotiating or paying bank
with respect to any L/C for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or
expenses to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence
of the Issuer, the Issuer's correspondents, or any advising, negotiating or
paying bank with respect to any L/C in determining whether a request presented
under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or
(y) the Issuer's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of such Letter of Credit.

2-21. CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES.

(a) The Administrative Agent may give the Borrowers'
Representative notice (with reasonable detail of the facts and circumstances) of
the occurrence of the following:
(i). The Administrative Agent shall have determined
in good faith (which determination, in the absence of manifest
error, shall be final and conclusive) on any day on which the
rate for a Libor Loan would otherwise be set, that adequate
and fair means do not exist for ascertaining such rate.

(ii). The Administrative Agent shall have determined
in good faith (which determination, in the absence of manifest
error, shall be final and conclusive) that:
(A) The continuation of or conversion of any
Revolving Credit Loan to a Libor Loan has been made
impracticable or unlawful by the occurrence of a
contingency that materially and adversely affects the
applicable market or compliance by the Administrative
Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender in good faith
with any applicable law or governmental regulation,
guideline or order or interpretation or change
thereof by any governmental authority charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof or with
any request or directive of any such governmental
authority (whether or not having the force of law).
(B) The indices on which the interest rates
for Libor Loans are based shall no longer represent
the effective cost to the Administrative Agent or any
Revolving Credit Lender for U.S. dollar deposits in
the interbank market for deposits in which it
regularly participates.
(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent gives the
Borrowers' Representative notice of an occurrence described in Section
2:2-21(a), then, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers'
Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no
longer apply:
(i) The obligation of the Administrative Agent and of
each Revolving Credit Lender to make Libor Loans of the type
affected by such changed circumstances or to permit the
Borrowers' Representative to select the affected interest rate
as otherwise applicable to any

. 45 .

Revolving Credit Loans shall be suspended. (ii) Any notice
which the Borrowers' Representative had given the
Administrative Agent with respect to any Libor Loan, the time
for action with respect to which has not occurred prior to the
Administrative Agent's having given notice pursuant to Section
2:2-21(a), shall be deemed at the option of the Administrative
Agent to not having been given.

2-22. DESIGNATION OF BORROWERS' REPRESENTATIVE AS BORROWERS' AGENT.

(a) Each Borrower hereby designates the Borrowers'
Representative as that Borrower's agent to obtain loans and advances under the
Revolving Credit, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for
those uses as those set forth in Section 2:2-1(c). As the disclosed principal
for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, and the Revolving Credit Lenders on account of loans and
advances so made under the Revolving Credit as if made directly by the Revolving
Credit Lenders to that Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such loans
and advances are recorded on the books and records of the Borrowers'
Representative and of any Borrower.
(b) The Borrowers' Representative shall act as a conduit for
the Borrower on whose behalf the Borrowers' Representative has requested a
Revolving Credit Loan and shall not have any right to obtain any loans or
advances, in its own right, under the Revolving Credit. (c) The proceeds of each
loan and advance provided under the Revolving Credit which is requested by the
Borrowers' Representative shall be deposited into the Operating Account or as
otherwise indicated by the Borrowers' Representative, which shall cause the
transfer of the proceeds thereof to the (those) Borrower(s) on whose behalf such
loan and advance was obtained. No Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation
to see to the application of such proceeds.

2-23 REVOLVING CREDIT LENDERS' COMMITMENTS.
(a) Subject to Section 17:17-1 (which Section 17:17-1 provides
for assignments and assumptions of Commitments), each Revolving Credit Lender's
"REVOLVING CREDIT PERCENTAGE COMMITMENT", and "REVOLVING CREDIT DOLLAR
COMMITMENT" is set forth on SCHEDULE 1, annexed hereto.
(b) The obligations of each Revolving Credit Lender are
several and not joint. No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation to
the Borrowers to make any loan or advance under the Revolving Credit
(i) in excess of the lesser of that Revolving Credit
Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of the subject loan or
advance; nor
(ii) such that that Revolving Credit Lender's
Revolving Credit Percentage

. 46 .

Commitment of (x) the then unpaid principal balance of the Revolving
Credit Loans PLUS (y) the aggregate Stated Amount of all then
outstanding L/C's exceeds that Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving
Credit Dollar Commitment.
(c) No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any liability to any
Borrower on account of the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to
provide any loan or advance under the Revolving Credit nor any obligation to
make up any shortfall which may be created by such failure.
(d) The Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments, Revolving Credit
Percentage Commitments, and identities of the Revolving Credit Lenders (but not
the Revolving Credit Loan Ceiling) may be changed, from time to time by the
reallocation or assignment of Revolving Credit Dollar Commitments and Revolving
Credit Percentage Commitments amongst the Revolving Credit Lenders or with other
Persons who determine to become "Revolving Credit Lenders"
(e) Upon written notice given the Borrowers' Representative
from time to time by the Administrative Agent, of any assignment or allocation
referenced in this Agreement:
(i) Each shall execute one or more replacement
Revolving Credit Notes to reflect such changed Revolving Credit Dollar
Commitments, Revolving Credit Percentage Commitments, and identities
and shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes to the
Administrative Agent (which promptly thereafter shall deliver to the
Borrowers' Representative the Revolving Credit Notes so replaced)
PROVIDED HOWEVER, in the event that a Revolving Credit Note is to be
exchanged following its acceleration or the entry of an order for
relief under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, in lieu of causing the Borrowers to execute one
or more new Revolving Credit Notes, may issue the Administrative
Agent's Certificate confirming the resulting Commitments and Revolving
Credit Percentage Commitments.
(ii) Such change shall be effective from the
effective date specified in such written notice and any Person added as
a Revolving Credit Lender shall have all rights, privileges and
obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder thereafter as if
such Person had been a signatory to this Agreement and any other Loan
Document to which a Revolving Credit Lender is a signatory and any
person removed as a Revolving Credit Lender shall be relieved of any
obligations or responsibilities of a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder
thereafter.

ARTICLE 3: - THE TERM LOAN:

3-1. COMMITMENT TO MAKE TERM LOAN.
(a) Subject to satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent
(Article 4:) by on or prior to the date of this Agreement, the Borrower shall
borrow from the Term Lender and the Term Lender shall lend to the Borrower the
sum of $25,000,000.00 (the "TERM LOAN"), repayable with interest as provided
herein.

. 47 .

(b) The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used solely for the
following:

(i) To retire the Borrowers' working capital facilities in
effect at the execution of this Agreement.

used, nor shall any be requested, with a view towards the accumulation
of any general fund or funded reserve of any of the Borrowers other
than in the ordinary course of the Borrowers' business and consistent
with the provisions of this Agreement

3-2. THE TERM NOTE. The obligation to repay the Term Loan, with
interest as provided herein, shall be evidenced by a Note (the "TERM NOTE") in
the form of EXHIBIT 3:3-2, annexed hereto, executed by the Borrowers. Neither
the original nor a copy of the Term Note shall be required, HOWEVER, to
establish or prove any Liability. Upon the Borrowers' Representative's being

Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of the following:

(i) Each Revolving Credit Loan, up to the maximum
amount of that Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Dollar
Commitment of the Revolving Credit Loans.

(ii) Up to the maximum amount of that Revolving
Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Dollar Commitment of each L/C Drawing
(to the extent that such L/C Drawing is not "covered" by a Revolving
Credit Loan as provided herein).

(b) In all circumstances, the Administrative Agent may:

(i) Assume that each Revolving Credit Lender, subject
to Section 13:13-3(a), timely shall make available to the
Administrative Agent that Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving

. 85 .

Credit Percentage Commitment of each Revolving Credit Loan, notice of
which is provided pursuant to Section 13:13-1 and shall make available,

assumptions, the Administrative Agent makes available, advances, or pays a
Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage Commitment of one or more
Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Drawings, or any other amount to be made available
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, which amount a Revolving Credit
Lender (a "DELINQUENT REVOLVING CREDIT LENDER") fails to provide to the
Administrative Agent within One (1) Business Day of written notice of such
failure, then:

Administrative Agent is an "Administrative Agent's Cover".

(ii) All interest paid by the Borrower on account of
the Revolving Credit Loan or coverage of the subject L/C Drawing which
consist of the Administrative Agent's Cover shall be retained by the
Administrative Agent until the Administrative Agent's Cover with
interest has been paid.

pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, interest (based upon a 360
day year and actual days elapsed) at a rate equal to the weighted
average interest rate paid by the Administrative Agent for federal
funds during the period during which such amount remains unpaid, on the
principal balance of the Administrative Agent's Cover, from the date of
the making of such Administrative Agent's Cover until repaid.

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall have succeeded to
all rights to payment to which the Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender
otherwise would have been entitled hereunder in respect of those
amounts paid by or in respect of the Borrower on account of the
Administrative Agent's Cover together with interest until it is repaid.
Such payments shall be deemed made first towards the amounts in respect
of which the Administrative Agent's Cover was provided and only then
towards amounts in which the Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender is then
participating. For purposes of distributions to be made pursuant to
Section 13:13-4(a) (which relates to ordinary course distributions) or
Section 14:14-7 (which relates to distributions of proceeds of a
Liquidation) below, amounts shall be deemed distributable to a
Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender (and consequently, to the
Administrative Agent to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is
then entitled) at the highest level of distribution (if applicable) at
which the Delinquent Revolving Credit

. 86 .

Lender would otherwise have been entitled to a distribution.

(v) Subject to Subsection 13:13-3(c)(iv), the
Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender shall be entitled to receive any
payments from the Borrower to which the Delinquent Revolving Credit
Lender is then entitled, PROVIDED HOWEVER there shall be deducted from
such amount and retained by the Administrative Agent any interest to
which the Administrative Agent is then entitled on account of Section
13:13-3(c)(ii), above.

(d) A Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender shall not be relieved
of any obligation of such Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender hereunder (all and
each of which shall constitute continuing obligations on the part of any
Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender).

as a Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender by paying the Administrative Agent the
aggregate of the following:

(i) The Administrative Agent's Cover (to the extent
not previously repaid by the Borrower and retained by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Subsection 13:13- 3(c)(iv),
above) with respect to that Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender.

PLUS

(ii) The aggregate of the amount payable under

by the Administrative Agent in the enforcement of the Administrative
Agent's rights against such Delinquent Revolving Credit Lender.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have principal
responsibilities for and primary authority for the administration of the credit
facilities contemplated by the Loan Documents and for all matters for which the

reasonable care. No such attorney, accountant, other professional, agent, or
attorney in fact shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any other such Person.

(f) Neither Agent, nor any of its directors, officers, or
employees shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by

person has had an opportunity to be heard) that such Person had acted in a
grossly negligent manner, in actual bad faith, or in willful misconduct.

(g) Neither Agent shall have any responsibility in any event
for more funds than that Agent actually receives and collects.

portion of such proceeds, may delay the distribution of any payment received on
account of the Liabilities.

the sums which that Agent expects to receive have been finally and
unconditionally paid to that Agent. If and to the extent that an Agent does
disburse funds and it later becomes apparent that the Agent did not then receive
a payment in an amount equal to the sum paid out, then any Lender to whom the
Agent made the funds available, on demand from the Agent, shall refund to the
Agent the sum paid to that person.

has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) The proceeds of any Lender's exercise of any right of, or
in the nature of, set-off shall be deemed, FIRST, to the extent that a Lender is
entitled to any distribution hereunder, to constitute such distribution and

respective contributions to the then principal balance of the Revolving Credit

(f) In the event that (x) a court of competent jurisdiction
shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by an Agent is to be
repaid or disgorged, or (y) the Lenders, acting by Consent of the SuperMajority
Lenders, determine to effect such repayment or disgorgement, then each Lender to
