THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01. Commitment to Lend.

Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set

forth, to make Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day

during the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date, in an aggregate

amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender's

Commitment and in a combined amount for all Lenders not to exceed at any time

outstanding the Total Commitment; provided, however, that immediately after

giving effect to any Borrowing of Loans, the sum of the aggregate principal

amount of all of the outstanding Loans, plus the aggregate amount of all

outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Total Commitment

then in effect. Each Borrowing that is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing under this

Section 2.01 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or any

larger multiple of $1,000,000 and each Borrowing that is a Base Rate Borrowing

under this Section 2.01 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000

or any larger multiple of $500,000 and shall be made from the several Lenders

ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. Within such limits, and

subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow Loans

under this Section 2.01, prepay Loans pursuant to Section 2.09 and reborrow

Loans pursuant to this Section 2.01 at any time before the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.02. Procedure for the Borrowing of Loans, Etc.

(a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written

notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a "Notice of Borrowing") prior

to 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the requested Borrowing Date, in

the case of Base Rate Loans, and not less than two (2) Business Days prior to

the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Euro-Dollar Loans, specifying:

(i) the requested Borrowing Date;

(ii) the principal amount of the Borrowing;

(iii) whether the Loans comprising the Borrowing are to be Base Rate

Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans; and

(iv) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject

to the provisions of the definition of "Interest Period".

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall

promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender's

ratable share of such Borrowing.

(c) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the proposed

Borrowing Date of any Loan, each Lender, severally, will make available to the

Administrative Agent, at its office as specified on Schedule I, in immediately

available funds, the amount of such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the

amount of the requested Loans. Upon receipt from the each Lender of such

amount, and upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IV, to

the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate amount

of such Loans available to the Borrower. The failure or refusal of any Lender

to make available to the Administrative Agent at the aforesaid time on the

- 21 -

<PAGE>

Borrowing Date its share of the amount of the requested Loans shall not relieve

any other Lender from its several obligations hereunder to make available to

the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender's Commitment Percentage of

the amount of requested Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any

Lender on or prior to the Borrowing Date, assume that each Lender has made

available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date the amount of such

Lender's Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans to be made

on such Borrowing Date, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be

required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a

corresponding amount. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative

Agent such amount advanced by the Administrative Agent on a date after such

Borrowing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an

amount equal to the product (i) of the average computed for the period referred

to in clause (iii) below, of the weighted average interest rate paid by the

Administrative Agent for federal funds acquired by the Administrative Agent

during each day included in such period, times (ii) the amount of such Lender's

Commitment Percentage of such Loans, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of

which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Borrowing Date

to the date on which the amount of the Lender's Commitment Percentage of such

Loans shall become immediately available to the Administrative Agent, and the

denominator of which is 360. If the amount of such Lender's Commitment

Percentage of such Loans is not made available to the Administrative Agent by

such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the

Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount from the Borrower

on demand, with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Loans

made on such Borrowing Date, provided that any such payment by the Borrower

shall be without prejudice to any rights that the Borrower may have against

such Lender. A statement of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender

with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be prima facie

evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent by such

Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding the notice and minimum amount requirements set forth

in this Section 2.02 but otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions

of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees to make Loans under this

Section 2.02(e) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at

any time not to exceed $25,000,000. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that

the making of such Loans shall, in each case, be subject in all respects to the

provisions of this Agreement as if they were Loans covered by a Notice of

Borrowing including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section

2.01 and the requirements that the applicable provisions of Article IV be

satisfied. All actions taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the

provisions of this Section 2.02(e) shall be conclusive and binding on the

Borrower and the Lenders absent the Administrative Agent's bad faith, gross

negligence or willful misconduct. Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.02(e)

shall be Base Rate Loans or, at the request of the Borrower not less than two

(2) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, may be Euro-Dollar

Loans with a seven (7) day Interest Period, and prior to Settlement, such

interest shall be for the account of the Administrative Agent.

(f) If any Lender makes a new Loan hereunder on a day on which the

Borrower is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan from such Lender,

such Lender shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such repayment and

only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being

- 22 -

<PAGE>

borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Lender to

the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 2.02 or remitted by the

Borrower to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.11, as the case

may be.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,

no Euro-Dollar Borrowing may be made if there shall have occurred a Default or

an Event of Default, which Default or Event of Default shall not have been

cured or waived in writing.

(h) In the event that a Notice of Borrowing fails to specify whether the

Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans,

such Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) there

shall not be more than nine (9) different Interest Periods outstanding at the

same time applicable to the Loans that are Euro-Dollar Loans; and (ii) the

proceeds of any Borrowing that is a Base Rate Borrowing shall be applied first

to repay the unpaid principal amount of all Borrowings that are Base Rate Loans

(if any) outstanding immediately before such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03. Notes.

(a) The Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced by a single Note payable

to the order of such Lender for the account of its Lending Office in an amount

equal to the original principal amount of such Lender's Commitment.

(b) Upon receipt of each Lender's Note pursuant to Section 4.01, the

Administrative Agent shall deliver such Note to such Lender. Each Lender shall

record, and prior to any transfer of its Note shall endorse on the schedule

forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence, the date, amount and

maturity of, and effective interest rate for, each Loan made by it, the date

and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect

thereto and whether, in the case of such Lender's Note, such Loan is a Base

Rate Loan or Euro-Dollar Loan, and such schedule shall constitute rebuttable

presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Lender's

Notes; provided, that the failure of any Lender to make, or any error in

making, any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligation of

the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or the ability of any Lender to

assign its Notes. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower

to endorse its Notes and to attach to and make a part of any Note a

continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

SECTION 2.04. Maturity of Loans.

Anything herein express or implied to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall

become and be absolutely and unconditionally due and payable on the Maturity

Date, and the Borrower hereby promises to pay on the Maturity Date, the entire

principal of each of the Loans then remaining unpaid, all of the unpaid

interest accrued thereon, all of the unpaid Fees accrued hereunder and all

other unpaid sums and other Obligations owing under this Agreement or any of

the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.05. Interest Rates.

(a) The Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the

Consolidated Leverage Ratio in effect from time to time as set forth in the

pricing grid below; provided, however, until the Borrower delivers to the

Administrative Agent the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant

to Section 6.01 for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2002, the Applicable Margin

shall not be less than the Applicable Margin which would be in effect if the

Consolidated Leverage Ratio were equal to 2.50:1.00:

The Applicable Margin shall be determined effective as of the date (herein, the

"Rate Determination Date") which is 50 days after the last day of the Fiscal

Quarter, and the Applicable Margin so determined shall remain effective from

such Rate Determination Date until the date which is 50 days after the last day

of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Rate Determination Date falls (which latter

date shall be a new Rate Determination Date); provided, that (i) in the case of

an Applicable Margin determined for the fourth and final Fiscal Quarter of a

Fiscal Year, the Rate Determination Date shall be the date which is 100 days

after the last day of such final Fiscal Quarter and such Applicable Margin

shall be determined based upon the annual audited financial statements for the

Fiscal Year ended on the last day of such final Fiscal Quarter and (ii) if on

any Rate Determination Date the Borrower shall have failed to deliver to the

Lenders the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section

6.01(a) or (b) with respect to the Fiscal Year or Fiscal Quarter, as the case

may be, most recently ended prior to such Rate Determination Date, then for the

period beginning on such Rate Determination Date and ending on the earlier of

(A) the date on which the Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders the financial

statements to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(b) with respect to such

Fiscal Quarter or any subsequent Fiscal Quarter, or (B) the date on which the

Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders annual financial statements required to

be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Fiscal Year which

includes such Fiscal Quarter or any subsequent Fiscal Year, the Applicable

Margin shall be the Applicable Margin which would be in effect if the

Consolidated Leverage Ratio were greater than or equal to 3.00:1.00. Any

change in the Applicable Margin on any Rate Determination Date shall result in

a corresponding change, effective on and as of such Rate Determination Date, in

the interest rate applicable to each Loan outstanding on such Rate

- 24 -

<PAGE>

Determination Date; provided, that no Applicable Margin shall be decreased

pursuant to this Section 2.05 if a Default or Event of Default is in existence

on the Rate Determination Date.

(b) Each Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the

outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Base Rate

Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the

Base Rate for such day, plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be

payable on each Interest Payment Date.

(c) Each Loan that is a Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the

outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable

thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin, plus

the applicable Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period;

provided, that, if any Euro-Dollar Loan shall, as a result of clause (a)(iii)

of the definition of "Interest Period", have an Interest Period of less than

one month, such Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest during such Interest

Period at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans during such period. Such

interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and,

if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, on each Interest

Payment Date during such Interest Period.

The "Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any Interest Period

means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if

necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1%) by dividing (i) the applicable

London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period by (ii) 1.00 minus the

Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.

The "London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any Euro-Dollar Loan means

for the Interest Period of such Euro-Dollar Loan the rate per annum determined

on the basis of the rate for deposits in Dollars of amounts equal or comparable

to the principal amount of such Euro-Dollar Loan offered for a term comparable

to such Interest Period, which rate appears on the display designated as Page

"3750" of the Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace page 3750 of

that service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the

British Banker's Association for the purpose of displaying London Interbank

Offered Rates for U.S. dollar deposits) determined as of 1:00 p.m. New York

City time, two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest

Period.

"Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage" means for any day that percentage (expressed

as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of

Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the

maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in

respect of "Eurocurrency liabilities" (or in respect of any other category of

liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on

Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or

other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender

to United States residents). The Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate shall

be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the

Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate

applicable to the Loans hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be

conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Promptly after each determination

- 25 -

<PAGE>

of an interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower in

accordance with its usual and customary banking practices.

(e) Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this Section 2.05, after

the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal

amount of the Loans (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all

accrued interest thereon) shall, at the election of the Required Lenders, bear

interest payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal

to the Default Rate.

SECTION 2.06. Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable

account of each Lender with a Commitment on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter

in each year and on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date on which the

Total Commitment shall terminate in full, a commitment fee (the "Commitment

Fee") equal to the product of the average daily excess of the Total Commitment

from time to time in effect from the Effective Date, over the Total

Utilization, times the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate. Such Commitment Fee

shall accrue from and including the Effective Date to and including the

Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, for the period

commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the Borrower delivers to

the Administrative Agent the financial statements required to be delivered

pursuant to Section 6.01 for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2002, the

Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall not be less than the Applicable Commitment

Fee Rate which would be in effect if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio were equal

to 2.50:1.00.

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable

account of each Lender a utilization fee (the "Utilization Fee") calculated

daily at the per annum rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (i.e., 12.5

basis points), times the Total Utilization, for each day on which the Total

Utilization exceeds the product of (A) 0.50 times (B) the Total Commitment in

effect for such date. Such Utilization Fee shall accrue from and including the

Closing Date to and including the Maturity Date and shall be payable quarterly

in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter; provided, that, should the

Commitments be terminated at any time prior to the Maturity Date for any

reason, the entire accrued and unpaid Utilization Fee shall be paid on the date

of such termination.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Fees and

other amounts as are provided in the Fee Letters, including the Fees payable

thereunder on the Effective Date.

SECTION 2.07. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower may, upon at least five

(5) Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate at any time,

or proportionately reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of at least

$5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, the Total Commitment. If the

Total Commitment is terminated in its entirety, all accrued Fees (as provided

under Section 2.06) shall be payable on the effective date of such termination.

SECTION 2.08. Mandatory Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall

- 26 -

<PAGE>

terminate on the Maturity Date and any Loans then outstanding (together with

accrued interest thereon and Fees) and all other Obligations shall be due and

payable on such date.

SECTION 2.09. Optional Prepayments of Loans.

(a) The Borrower may prepay any Loan that is a Base Rate Borrowing in

whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating at least

$1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $500,000, by paying the principal amount

to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of

the several Lenders included in such Base Rate Borrowing.

(b) Except as provided in Section 9.02, the Borrower may not prepay all

or any portion of the principal amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan prior to the

last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If, on any date, the Total Utilization shall exceed the Total

Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the principal

of the Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowings in the amount of such excess. Each

payment shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders. If no Loans or Letter of

Credit Borrowings are outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately cash

collateralize, in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, Letter of

Credit Obligations in the amount of such excess.

(b) If, on any date, the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit

Obligations then outstanding shall exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then

in effect, the Borrower shall immediately pay, or cash collateralize in a

manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the amount of the Letter of

Credit Obligations in the amount of such excess.

(c) The Borrower shall pay, together with each principal prepayment under

this Section 2.10, accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any amounts

required pursuant to Section 9.05(a). Any prepayments pursuant to this Section

2.10 made on any day other than an Interest Payment Date for any Loan shall be

applied: first, to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding; and, then, to

Euro-Dollar Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining; provided,

however, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then be

continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower,

apply any such prepayments to Euro-Dollar Loans only on the last day of each of

the respective Interest Periods relating thereto.

SECTION 2.11. General Provisions as to Payments and Taxes.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on

the Loans and Fees hereunder, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston, Massachusetts

time) on the date when due, in Dollars or other immediately available funds to

the Administrative Agent at its address referred to on Schedule I. The

Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share

of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of

the Lenders. Any payment which is received by the Administrative Agent later

- 27 -

<PAGE>

than 11:00 a.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) shall be deemed to have been

received on the immediately succeeding Business Day, and any applicable

interest or Fees shall continue to accrue until such payment shall be deemed to

have been received.

(b) Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate

Loans or of Fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date

for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans

shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof

shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day

falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof

shall be the next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of

principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall

be payable for such extended time.

(c)

(i) All payments of principal, interest and Fees and all other

amounts to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement with respect

to any Loan or Fee relating thereto shall be paid without deduction for,

and free from, any tax, imposts, levies, duties, deductions, or

withholdings of any nature now or at anytime hereafter imposed by any

Governmental Authority or by any taxing authority thereof or therein

excluding in the case of each Lender, (A) taxes imposed on or measured by

its net income, (B) franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction

under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any political

subdivision thereof, and (C) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise

taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender's applicable

Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded

taxes, imposts, levies, duties, deductions or withholdings of any nature

being "Non-excluded Taxes"). In the event that the Borrower is required

by applicable law to make any such withholding or deduction of

Non-excluded Taxes with respect to any Loan or Fee or other amount,

promptly after receiving notice thereof, the Borrower shall pay such

deduction or withholding to the applicable taxing authority, shall

promptly furnish to any Lender in respect of which such deduction or

withholding is made all receipts and other documents evidencing such

payment and shall pay to such Lender additional amounts as may be

necessary in order that the amount received by such Lender after the

required withholding or other payment shall equal the amount such Lender

would have received had no such withholding or other payment been made.

If no withholding or deduction of Non-excluded Taxes are payable in

respect of any Loan or Fee relating thereto, the Borrower shall furnish

any Lender, at such Lender's request, a certificate from each applicable

taxing authority or an opinion of counsel acceptable to such Lender, in

either case stating that such payments are exempt from or not subject to

withholding or deduction of Non-excluded Taxes. If the Borrower fails to

provide such original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of

Non-excluded Taxes or certificate(s) or opinion of counsel of exemption,

the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate such Lender for, and indemnify

them with respect to, the tax consequences of the Borrower's failure to

provide evidence of tax payments or tax exemption.

(ii) In the event any Lender receives a refund of any Non-excluded

Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11, it will pay to

the Borrower the amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof;

- 28 -

<PAGE>

provided, however, if at any time thereafter it is required to return such

refund, the Borrower shall promptly repay to it the amount of such refund.

(iii) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of

the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower

contained in this Section 2.11 shall be applicable with respect to any

Participant, Assignee or other Transferee, except as otherwise provided by

clause (iv) below, and any calculations required by such provisions (A)

shall be made based upon the circumstances of such Participant, Assignee

or other Transferee, and (B) constitute a continuing agreement and shall

survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full or

cancellation of the Notes.

(iv) Each Lender which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction

outside of the United States agrees that:

(A) it shall, no later than the Effective Date (or, in the case

of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 10.07

after the Effective Date, the date upon which such Lender becomes a

party hereto) deliver to the Borrower through the Administrative

Agent two accurate and complete signed originals of Internal Revenue

Service Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto ("Form W-8BEN"), or two

accurate and complete signed originals of Internal Revenue Service

Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto ("Form W-8ECI"), as appropriate,

in each case indicating that such Lender is on the date of delivery

thereof entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and the

other Loan Documents free from withholding of United States Federal

income tax;

(B) if at any time such Lender makes any changes, including a

change of a Lending Office or its principal office, place of

incorporation or fiscal residence, necessitating a new Form W-8BEN or

Form W-8ECI, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,

promptly deliver to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent in

replacement for, or in addition to, the forms previously delivered by

it hereunder, two accurate and complete signed originals of Form

W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as appropriate, in each case indicating that

such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive

all payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents free

from any withholding of any United States Federal income tax;

(C) it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,

before or promptly after the occurrence of any event (including the

passing of time but excluding any event mentioned in clause (B)

above) requiring a change in or renewal of the most recent Form

W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI previously delivered by such Lender, deliver to

the Borrower through the Administrative Agent two accurate and

complete signed originals of Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI in

replacement for the forms previously delivered by such Lender

indicating that such Lender continues to be entitled to receive all

payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents free from

any withholding of any United States Federal income tax;

(D) it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,

promptly upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the

Administrative Agent to that effect, deliver to the Borrower or the

- 29 -

<PAGE>

Administrative Agent (as the case may be) such other forms or similar

documentation as may be required from time to time by any Applicable

Law, in order to establish such Lender's complete exemption from

withholding on all payments under this Agreement or any of the other

Loan Documents;

(E) if such Lender claims or is entitled to claim exemption

from withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing a

Form W-8ECI and such Lender sells or grants a participation in all or

part of its rights under this Agreement, such Lender shall notify the

Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no

longer the beneficial owner under this Agreement. To the extent of

such percentage amount, the Administrative Agent shall treat such

Lender's Form W-8ECI as no longer in compliance with this Section

2.11(c)(iv). In the event a Lender claiming exemption from United

States withholding tax by filing Form W-8BEN with the Administrative

Agent sells or grants a participation in its rights under this

Agreement, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for

complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections

1441 and 1442 of the Code; and

(F) without limiting or restricting any Lender's right to

increased amounts under Section 2.11(c)(i) from the Borrower upon

satisfaction of such Lender's obligations under the provisions of

this Section 2.11(c)(iv), if such Lender is entitled to a reduction

in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may (but

shall not be obligated to) withhold from any interest to such Lender

an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking

into account such reduction.

If the forms or other administrative documentation required by clause (A) are

not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall

withhold from any interest payment to a Lender not providing such forms or

other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax

and, in addition, the Administrative Agent shall also withhold against periodic

payments other than interest payments to the extent United States withholding

tax is not eliminated by obtaining Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI. The Borrower

shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each of its

officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact from and

against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,

actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including

Attorney Costs) of any kind whatsoever from time to time incurred as a result

of or in connection with the Administrative Agent's failure to withhold as

provided pursuant to the preceding sentence, unless such failure constitutes

gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent itself as

the same is determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of

competent jurisdiction, and the Obligations of the Borrower under this sentence

shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

(v) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts

in respect of Non-excluded Taxes imposed by any United States Federal

Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(i) to any Lender:

(A) if and to the extent the obligation to pay such additional

amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to

comply with its obligations under Section 2.11(c)(iv) in respect of

its Lending Office;

- 30 -

<PAGE>

(B) if such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a Form

W-8BEN in respect of its Lending Office pursuant to Section 2.11(c)

(iv)(A)-(C) or such other forms or other similar documentation

pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(iv)(D), to the extent such Lender shall

not at any time be entitled to exemption from all deductions or

withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of

payments by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other

Loan Documents for the account of such Lending Office for any reason

other than a change in United States Applicable Law or in the

official interpretation of any such Applicable Law by any

Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or

administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after

the date of delivery of such Form W-8BEN or such other forms or other

similar documentation; or

(C) if such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a Form

W-8ECI in respect of its Lending Office pursuant to Section

2.11(c)(iv)(A)-(C) or such other forms or similar documentation

pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(iv)(D), to the extent such Lender shall

not at any time be entitled to exemption from all deductions or

withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of

payments by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other

Loan Documents for the account of such Lending Office for any reason

other than a change in United States Applicable Law or in the

official interpretation of any such Applicable Law by any

Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or

administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after

the date of delivery of such Form W-8ECI or such other forms or other

similar documentation.

(vi) Each Lender agrees that it shall, at any time upon reasonable

advance request in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,

promptly deliver such certification or other documentation as may be

required under Applicable Law in any applicable jurisdiction and which

such Lender is entitled to submit to avoid or reduce withholding taxes on

amounts to be paid by the Borrower and received by such Lender pursuant to

this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.12. Computation of Interest and Fees.

Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360

days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day

but excluding the last day). Interest on Euro-Dollar Loans shall be computed

on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days

elapsed, calculated as to each Interest Period from and including the first day

thereof to but excluding the last day thereof. Fees payable hereunder shall be

computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of

days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.13. Settlement.

(a) On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall, not later

than 2:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time), give telephonic or facsimile

notice (i) to the Lenders and the Borrower of the respective outstanding amount

- 31 -

<PAGE>

of Loans made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(e) on behalf

of the Lenders from the immediately preceding Settlement Date through the close

of business on the prior day and (ii) to the Lenders of the amount (a

"Settlement Amount") that each Lender (a "Settling Lender") shall pay to effect

a Settlement of any Loan. A statement of the Administrative Agent submitted to

the Lenders and the Borrower or to the Lenders with respect to any amounts

owing under this Section 2.13 shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due

and owing. Each Settling Lender shall, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Boston,

Massachusetts time) on such Settlement Date, effect a wire transfer of

immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in the amount of the

Settlement Amount for such Settling Lender. All funds advanced by any Lender

as a Settling Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall for all purposes be

treated as a Loan made by such Settling Lender to the Borrower and all funds

received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall for

all purposes be treated as repayment of amounts owed with respect to Loans made

by the Administrative Agent. In the event that any bankruptcy, reorganization,

liquidation, receivership or similar cases or proceedings in which the Borrower

is a debtor prevents a Settling Lender from making any Loan to effect a

Settlement as contemplated hereby, such Settling Lender will make such

dispositions and arrangements with the Administrative Agent with respect to

such Loans, either by way of purchase of participations, distribution, pro

tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in the

Administrative Agent receiving the full amount to which it is entitled under

this Section 2.13(a) and each Lender's share of the outstanding Loans being

equal, as nearly as may be, to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the

outstanding amount of the Loans.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, unless notified to the contrary by any

Settling Lender on or prior to a Settlement Date, assume that such Settling

Lender has made or will make available to the Administrative Agent on such

Settlement Date the amount of such Settling Lender's Settlement Amount. If any

Settling Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent such amount on a

date after such Settlement Date, such Settling Lender shall pay to the

Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the

average computed for the period referred to in clause (iii) below, of the

Federal Funds Rate for each day included in such period, times (ii) the amount

of such Settlement Amount, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is

the number of days that elapse from and including such Settlement Date to the

date on which the amount of such Settlement Amount shall become immediately

available to the Administrative Agent, and the denominator of which is 360. A

statement of the Administrative Agent submitted to such Settling Lender with

respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.13(b) shall be prima facie

evidence of the amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent by such

Settling Lender. If such Settling Lender's Settlement Amount is not made

available to the Administrative Agent by such Settling Lender within three (3)

Business Days following such Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall be

entitled to recover such amount from the Borrower on demand, with interest

thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Loans as of such Settlement

Date.

(c) The failure or refusal of any Settling Lender to make available to

the Administrative Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Settlement Date

the amount of such Settling Lender's Settlement Amount shall not (i) relieve

any other Settling Lender from its several obligations hereunder to make

available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such other Settling

Lender's Settlement Amount or (ii) impose upon any Lender, other than the

- 32 -

<PAGE>

Settling Lender so failing or refusing, any liability with respect to such

failure or refusal or otherwise increase the Commitment of such other Lender.

(d) Each Settling Lender's obligation in accordance with this Agreement

to pay to the Administrative Agent the Settlement Amount on each Settlement

Date as contemplated by this Section 2.13 shall be absolute, unconditional

irrevocable and without recourse to the Administrative Agent and shall not be

affected by any circumstance, including: (i) any set-off, counterclaim, defense

or other right which such Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, the

Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or

continuation of any Default or Event of Default or any Material Adverse Effect

or the Borrower's failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Article IV; or

(iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not

similar to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.14. Conversion and Continuation Elections for all Borrowings.

(a) The Borrower may upon irrevocable written notice (or telephonic

notice immediately confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent in

accordance with paragraph (b):

(i) elect to convert on any Business Day, any Base Rate Loans (or

any part thereof in an amount of not less than $500,000 or an integral

multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof) into Euro-Dollar Loans;

(ii) elect to convert on the last day of any Interest Period with

respect thereto, any Euro-Dollar Loans (or any part thereof in an amount

of not less than $500,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess

thereof) into Base Rate Loans; or

(iii) elect to continue on the last day of any Interest Period with

respect thereto, any Euro-Dollar Loans (or any part thereof in an amount

of not less than $500,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess

thereof) as Euro-Dollar Loans;

provided, however, that, if any Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans shall

have been reduced, by payment, prepayment or conversion, to an amount that is

less than $1,000,000 then the Euro-Dollar Loans comprising such Borrowing shall

automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then-current

Interest Period relating thereto.

(b) The Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to be

received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 1:00 p.m. (Boston,

Massachusetts time) not less than two (2) Business Days in advance of the

Conversion Date or Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or

continued as Euro-Dollar Loans, and (ii) 1:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time)

on the requested Conversion Date, if the Loans are to be converted into Base

Rate Loans, specifying:

(A) the proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date, which

shall in each case be a Business Day;

(B) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans to be converted

or continued;

(C) the nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(D) the duration of the requested Interest Periods, if

applicable.

<PAGE>

the Issuing Lender any unreimbursable loss, cost or expense which was not

applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Lender reasonably deems

material to it;

(ii) the Issuing Lender shall have received written notice from any

to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

SECTION 3.02. Issuance, Amendment and Renewal of Letters of Credit.

(a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon the irrevocable written

request of the Borrower received by the Issuing Lender (with a copy sent by the

Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least four (4) Business Days (or such

shorter time as the Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in its

sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance, and approval by the

Administrative Agent of such request. Each request by the Borrower for issuance

of a Letter of Credit shall be by facsimile, confirmed promptly in an original

writing, in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, and shall specify in

form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender: (i) the proposed

date of issuance of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii)

the face amount of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of

Credit; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents

to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case of any

drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by

the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters

as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require.

(b) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior

to the Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender will, upon the written request of the

Borrower received by the Issuing Lender (with a copy sent by the Borrower to

the Administrative Agent) at least four (4) Business Days (or such shorter time

as the Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in its sole

discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment, upon approval by the

Administrative Agent of such request, amend any Letter of Credit issued by it.

Each such request by the Borrower for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be

made by facsimile, confirmed promptly in an original writing, in the form of a

Letter of Credit Amendment Application and shall specify in form and detail

reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender: (i) the Letter of Credit to be

amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the Letter of Credit (which

shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv)

such other matters as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require. The Issuing

Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) the

Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of

- 35 -

<PAGE>

Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) the

beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment

to the Letter of Credit.

(c) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of the

receipt by it of any Letter of Credit Application or Letter of Credit Amendment

Application.

(d) The Issuing Lender and the Lenders agree that, while a Letter of

Credit is outstanding and prior to the Maturity Date, at the option of the

Borrower and upon the written request of the Borrower received by the Issuing

Lender (with a copy sent by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least

four (4) Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Lender may agree in

a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of

notification of renewal, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to authorize the

automatic renewal of any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for

renewal of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed promptly in

an original writing, in the form of a Letter of Credit Amendment Application,

and shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing

Lender: (i) the Letter of Credit to be renewed; (ii) the proposed date of

notification of renewal of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business

Day); (iii) the revised expiry date of the Letter of Credit; and (iv) such

other matters as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require. The Issuing Lender

shall be under no obligation to renew any Letter of Credit if the Issuing

Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue or amend such Letter of

Credit in its renewed form under the terms of this Agreement. If any

outstanding Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be automatically

renewed unless the beneficiary thereof receives notice from the Issuing Lender

that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, and if at the time of renewal

the Issuing Lender would be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of such

Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 3.02(d) upon the request of

the Borrower but the Issuing Lender shall not have received any Letter of

Credit Amendment Application from the Borrower with respect to such renewal or

other written direction from the Borrower with respect thereto, the Issuing

Lender shall nonetheless be permitted to allow such Letter of Credit to be

renewed, and the Borrower and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each

such renewal, and, accordingly, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have

received a Letter of Credit Amendment Application from the Borrower requesting

such renewal.

(e) This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any

Letter of Credit Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit, the

provisions of which shall control in any event). The Issuing Lender will also

deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently or promptly following its

delivery of a Letter of Credit, or any amendment to or renewal of a Letter of

Credit, to a beneficiary, a true and complete copy of each such Letter of

Credit or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.03. Participations, Drawings and Reimbursement.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender

shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,

purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and

each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Commitment

- 36 -

<PAGE>

Percentage of such Lender then in effect, times (ii) the maximum amount

available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such

drawing, respectively.

(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by

the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify

the Borrower. The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender prior to 12:00

p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time), on each date that any amount is paid by the

Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Disbursement

Date"), in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender,

provided that if such drawing occurs after 12:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts

time), the Disbursement Date shall be deemed to be the day following the date

of such drawing. In the event that the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the

Issuing Lender for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by

12:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the Disbursement Date, the Issuing

Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative

Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be

deemed to have requested that Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans be made by

the Lenders (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to such deemed

request) pursuant to Section 2.01 to be disbursed on the Disbursement Date

under such Letter of Credit, subject always to the satisfaction of the

conditions set forth in Section 4.02. Any notice given by the Issuing Lender

or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) may be oral if

immediately confirmed in writing (including by facsimile); provided, however,

that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the

conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c) Each Lender shall upon receipt of any notice pursuant to Section

3.03(b) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the

Issuing Lender an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to

its Commitment Percentage of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the

participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 3.03(d)) each be deemed to have

made a Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in that amount. If

any Lender so notified shall fail to make available to the Administrative Agent

for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender's Commitment

Percentage of the amount of the drawing by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston,

Massachusetts time) on the Disbursement Date, then interest shall accrue on

such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Disbursement Date to

the date such Lender makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the

Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during the period commencing on

the Disbursement Date and ending on the date three (3) Business Days

thereafter, and (ii) thereafter, at the Base Rate as in effect from time to

time. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of each Disbursement

Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice on the

Disbursement Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such

payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under

this Section 3.03.

(d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing which is not converted into

Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans because the applicable conditions precedent

set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied, the Borrower shall be deemed to

have obtained from the Issuing Lender a Letter of Credit Borrowing in the

amount of such drawing, which Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and

payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate

per annum equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate

Loans, plus, in the case of any Letter of Credit Borrowing outstanding after

- 37 -

<PAGE>

the Disbursement Date, two percent (2%) per annum, and each Lender's payment to

the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(c) shall be deemed a payment in

respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing.

(e) Each Lender's obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make

Loans or to fund its participation in Letter of Credit Borrowings, as

contemplated by this Section 3.03, as a result of any drawing under a Letter of

Credit shall be absolute, unconditional irrevocable and without recourse to the

Issuing Lender and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (i)

any set-off, counterclaim, defense or other right which such Lender may have

against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason

whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of

Default or any Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance,

happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 3.04. Repayment of Participation.

(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the

account of the Issuing Lender of funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement

of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with

respect to which any Lender has paid the Administrative Agent for the account

of the Issuing Lender for such Lender's participation in the Letter of Credit

pursuant to Section 3.03, or (ii) in payment of interest on amounts described

in clause (i), the Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender, in the same

funds as those received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the

Issuing Lender, the amount of such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such

funds, and the Issuing Lender shall receive the amount of the Commitment

Percentage of such funds of any Lender that did not so pay the Administrative

Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender.

(b) If the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender is required at any

time to return to the Borrower, or to any trustee, receiver, liquidator,

custodian or any other similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any

portion of the payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for

the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a) in reimbursement

of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fees thereon, each

Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the

Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender the amount of its Commitment

Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent or the

Issuing Lender plus interest thereon, from the date such demand is made to the

date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or

the Issuing Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in

effect from time to time.

SECTION 3.05. Role of Issuing Lender.

(a) Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under

a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to

obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates expressly

required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity

or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or

delivering any such document.

- 38 -

<PAGE>

(b) Neither the Issuing Lender nor any of the respective correspondents,

participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender

or the Borrower for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at

the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken

or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii)

the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of

Credit Related Document.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably assumes all risks of the acts or

omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any

Letter of Credit. Neither the Issuing Lender nor any of the respective

correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender shall be liable

or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (f) of

Section 3.06; provided, however, that the Borrower may have a claim against the

Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the

extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or

exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower and only to the extent which the

Borrower shall have proved were caused by the Issuing Lender's willful

misconduct or gross negligence, as such has been determined by a final

non-appealable judgment, or the Issuing Lender's willful failure to pay under

any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight

draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of

such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing:

(i) the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in

order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any

notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) the Issuing Lender shall not be

responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any Instrument transferring or

assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights

or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may

prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

SECTION 3.06. Obligations Absolute.

The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and any Letter of Credit

Related Document to reimburse the Issuing Lender for each drawing under each

Letter of Credit, to repay each Letter of Credit Borrowing and to repay each

drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Loans, shall be absolute,

unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with

Document under all circumstances, including the following:

other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any

Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to

departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Related Documents;

(c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the

Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any

Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such

transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in

connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the

Letter of Credit Related Documents or any unrelated transactions;

- 39 -

<PAGE>

(d) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any

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;

or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required

in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit;

(e) any payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against

presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the

terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under

any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,

debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator,

receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any

transferee of any Letter of Credit; or

(f) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not

similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might

otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or

any guarantor.

SECTION 3.07. Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations at Maturity.

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if, as of the Maturity Date, any

Letters of Credit shall for any reason remain outstanding and partially or

wholly undrawn, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative

Agent an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Obligations to be held as cash

collateral.

SECTION 3.08. Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable

account of each Lender with a Commitment, letter of credit fees ("Letter of

Credit Fees") with respect to all Letters of Credit equal to (i) the Applicable

Margin for Loans that are Euro-Dollar Loans, times (ii) the face amount of each

Letter of Credit to be issued, and such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and

payable in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter.

(b) The Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender, for the

Issuing Lender's own account, a Letter of Credit fronting fee equal to

one-eighth of one percent (i.e., 12.5 basis points), times the face amount of

shall be due and payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit by

the Issuing Lender.

(c) The Borrower shall also pay directly to the Issuing Lender from time

to time, on demand by the Issuing Lender and for its own account, such other

reasonable issuance, presentation, payment, amendment, transfer and other

Lender's standard schedule for such fees and charges in effect from time to

order, or complaint issued by or before the FCC or any other Governmental

Authority, nor are there any other proceedings involving the Borrower or any

one or more of the Subsidiaries by or before the FCC or any other Governmental

Authority, which investigation, notice, order, complaint or proceeding could in

any manner materially threaten or adversely affect such Broadcast Licenses.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any knowledge of a threat of any

such investigation, notice of violation, order, complaint or proceeding with

respect thereto. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any reason to

believe that the Broadcast Licenses listed and described in Section 5.19 of the

Disclosure Schedule will not be renewed in the ordinary course. The Borrower

and each Subsidiary has filed with the FCC and all other applicable

Governmental Authorities all material reports, applications, documents,

instruments and information required to be filed by it pursuant to applicable

this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive all

such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or, as required by Section

10.05, all of the Lenders as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate and, if

it so requests, the Administrative Agent shall first be indemnified to its

satisfaction by each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender 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 Administrative Agent shall in all cases

be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this

Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of

the Required Lenders or, as required by Section 10.05, all of the Lenders, and

such request or consent and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto

shall be binding upon all of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the other

Agents.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified

in Section 4.01 as it relates to the initial Credit Extension on the Closing

Date, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have

consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with each document or

other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for

consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required by the terms hereof

to be consented to or approved by or to be acceptable or satisfactory to such

Lender, unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the

transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have received written

notice from such Lender prior to the initial Borrowing and issuances of Letters

of Credit on the Closing Date specifying in reasonable detail its objection

thereto and either such objection shall not have been withdrawn by written

notice to the Administrative Agent to that effect or such Lender shall not have

made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of

such Borrowing.

SECTION 8.05. Notice of Default.

The Administrative 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

Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender,

unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a

Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or

Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the

event that the Administrative Agent receives such a written notice, the

Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Issuing

Lender. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such

Default or Event of Default as shall be requested by the Required Lenders in

accordance with Article VII; provided, however, that, unless and until the

Administrative Agent shall have received any such request, the Administrative

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 the

Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interests of the

Lenders and the Issuing Lender.

SECTION 8.06. Credit Decisions.

Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the other Agents expressly

acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent-Related Persons has made any

representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent

hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or of

any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or

warranty by the Administrative Agent to any of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender

or the other Agents. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the other

Agents represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and

without reliance upon the Administrative 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 and its Subsidiaries, and

all Applicable Laws relating to the transactions contemplated thereby, and made

its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend credit to the Borrower

hereunder. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the other Agents also

represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the

Administrative 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 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 and its

Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein

required to be furnished to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the other Agents

by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty

or responsibility to provide any of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the

other Agents with any credit or other information concerning the business,

prospects, operations, Property, financial or other condition or

creditworthiness of the Borrower or of any of its Subsidiaries which may come

into the possession of any of the Administrative Agent-Related Persons.

- 67 -

<PAGE>

SECTION 8.07. Indemnification.

Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be

consummated, each of the Lenders shall indemnify, upon demand, each of the

Administrative Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on

behalf of the Borrower, and without limiting the Obligations of the Borrower to

do so), ratably from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,

damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and

disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any

time following the expiration of the Letters of Credit and the repayment of the

Loans and the resignation of the Administrative Agent) be imposed on, incurred

by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of

this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any document contemplated by or

referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby

or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with

any of the foregoing; provided, however, that none of the Lenders shall be

liable for the payment to any of the Administrative Agent-Related Persons of

any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,

actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent

arising from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without

limitation of the foregoing, each of the Lenders shall reimburse the

Administrative Agent upon demand for such Lender's ratable share of any fees,

costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the

Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification,

amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or

otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,

this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document contemplated by or

referred to herein, in each case, to the extent that the Administrative Agent

is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. Without

limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the U.S. Internal Revenue Service

or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or any other

jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly

withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the

appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because

such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in

circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding

tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the

Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid as a result thereof, directly

or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including

penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on

the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.07,

together with all related fees, costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs).

The obligations of each of the Lenders in this Section 8.07 shall survive the

payment of all of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 8.08. Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.

Fleet and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the

account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally

engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business

with, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Fleet were not

the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender hereunder and without notice to

or consent of the Lenders or other Agents. With respect to its Loans and its

participations in Letters of Credit, Fleet shall have the same rights and

powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender

- 68 -

<PAGE>

and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the

Issuing Lender; and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include Fleet,

acting in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder.

SECTION 8.09. Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon not less than

thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, such

notice to specify the effective date of resignation. If the Administrative

Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Required

Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders

and the Issuing Lender, which successor agent shall be subject to the approval

of the Borrower if no Event of Default is continuing, such approval not to be

unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor agent is appointed prior to

the effective date of resignation of the Administrative Agent, the

Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, and

subject to the approval of the Borrower if no Event of Default is continuing,

such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a successor agent

from among the Lenders or any Lender Affiliate. Any successor Administrative

Agent appointed under this Section 8.09 shall be a commercial bank organized

under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, and having a combined

capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its

appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to

all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; and the

term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring

Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent

shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation

hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and

Section 10.03 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to

be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no

successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the

effective date of resignation specified in the retiring Administrative Agent's

written notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation

shall nevertheless become effective upon the effective date of resignation so

specified, and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the

Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders

appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

SECTION 8.10. Other Agents.

None of the Co-Syndication Agents, in such capacity, the Documentation Agent,

in such capacity, or the Lead Arranger, in such capacity, shall have any duties

or responsibilities, or shall incur any obligations or liabilities, under this

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Lender acknowledges that it

has not relied, and will not rely, on the Co-Syndication Agents, Documentation

Agent or the Lead Arranger in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in

making any Credit Extensions hereunder.

ARTICLE IX

----------

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES; COMPENSATION;

INCREASE IN TOTAL COMMITMENT

SECTION 9.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.

If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines that deposits in Dollars (in the

applicable amounts) are not being offered in the relevant market for such

Interest Period, or

(b) the Required Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the London

Interbank Offered Rate, as determined by the Administrative Agent will not

adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the relevant

type of Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower

and the Lenders, whereupon: (i) the obligations of the Lender to make the

Euro-Dollar Loans specified in such notice shall be suspended; and (ii) the

obligations of the Lenders to make the Euro-Dollar Loans specified in such

notice shall continue to be suspended until the Administrative Agent notifies

the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer

exist. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1)

Business Day before the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for which a Notice of

Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date,

such borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 9.02. Illegality.

If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or

regulation, or any change in any existing or future 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 (any such authority, bank or agency being referred to as

an "Authority" and any such event being referred to as a "Change of Law"), or

compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive

(whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority shall make it

unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Lending Office) to make, maintain

or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Lender shall so notify the

Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice

thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender

notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances

giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender

to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the

Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.02, such Lender shall designate

a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need forgiving

such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise

disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not

lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans

to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately

convert the then outstanding principal amount of each Euro-Dollar Loan of such

- 70 -

<PAGE>

Lender into a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.14. Concurrently with such

conversion, the Borrower shall pay the accrued interest on such Euro-Dollar

Loan and any amount due such Lender pursuant to Section 9.05(a).

SECTION 9.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If after the date hereof, a Change of Law or compliance by any Lender

(or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having

the force of law) of any Authority:

(i) shall subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender (or its Lending

Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Euro-Dollar

Loans, its Notes, Letters of Credit or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar

Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (or

its Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Euro-Dollar

Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its

Euro-Dollar Loans or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans (except for

changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its

Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender's

principal executive office or Lending Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special

deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such

requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve

System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such

requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage)

against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended

by, any Lender (or its Lending Office); or

(iii) shall impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender (or its

Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition

affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Notes, its Letters of Credit or its

obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender

(or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to

reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its

Lending Office) under this Agreement, its Notes or its Letters of Credit with

respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then,

within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the

Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender

such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing

Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that after the date hereof the

adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy,

or any change in any existing or future law, rule or regulation, or any change

in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender

(or its Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital

adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority, has or

would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital

as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such

Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking

into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by

an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within

- 71 -

<PAGE>

fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such

Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for

such reduction.

(c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative

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 9.03

and will designate a different 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 such Lender. A

certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 9.03 and

setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall

be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount,

such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) The provisions of this Section 9.03 shall be applicable with respect

to any Assignee and any calculations required by such provisions shall be made

based upon the circumstances of such Assignee.

(e) The Borrower shall not be liable to any Lender or the Administrative

Agent for costs incurred pursuant to Section 9.03(a) and (b) more than two

hundred seventy (270) days prior to receipt by the Borrower of such demand for

payment from such Lender or, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent,

unless such costs were incurred prior to such two hundred seventy (270) day

period as a result of such present or future applicable law being retroactive

to a date which occurred prior to such two hundred seventy (270) day period and

such Lender or, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent, has given notice

to the Borrower of the effectiveness of such law within two hundred seventy

(270) days after the effective date thereof.

SECTION 9.04. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Euro-Dollar Loans.

If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans has

been suspended pursuant to Section 9.02 or (b) any Lender has demanded

compensation under Section 9.03, and the Borrower shall, by at least five (5)

Business Days' prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent,

have elected that the provisions of this Section 9.04 shall apply to such

Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the

circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no

longer apply:

(i) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as

Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (in all cases

interest and principal on such Loans shall be payable contemporaneously with

the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and

(ii) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all

payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such

Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

In the event that the Borrower shall elect that the provisions of this Section

9.04 shall apply to any Lender, the Borrower shall remain liable for, and shall

pay to such Lender as provided herein, all amounts due such Lender under

Section 9.03 in respect of the period preceding the date of conversion of such

Lender's Loans resulting from the Borrower's election.

- 72 -

<PAGE>

SECTION 9.05. Compensation.

pon the request of any Lender, delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative

Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall

compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as

a result of

(a) any payment or prepayment (pursuant to Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or

otherwise) of a Euro-Dollar Loan on a date other than the last day of an

Interest Period for such Euro-Dollar Loan;

(b) any failure by the Borrower to prepay a Euro-Dollar Loan on the date

for such prepayment specified in the relevant notice of prepayment hereunder;

or

(c) any failure by the Borrower to borrow a Euro-Dollar Loan on the date

for the Euro-Dollar Borrowing of which such Euro-Dollar Loan is a part

specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered pursuant to Section

2.02;

such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to the

excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the

amount so paid or prepaid or not prepaid or borrowed for the period from the

date of such payment, prepayment or failure to prepay or borrow to the last day

of the then current Interest Period for such Euro-Dollar Loan (or, in the case

of a failure to prepay or borrow, the Interest Period for such Euro-Dollar Loan

which would have commenced on the date of such failure to prepay or borrow) at

the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan over (ii)

the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) such Lender

would have paid on deposits in Dollars of comparable amounts having terms

comparable to such period placed with it by leading banks in the London

interbank market.

SECTION 9.06. Increase in Total Commitment.

(a) At any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Boston, Massachusetts time) on the

tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date,

the Borrower may request on no more than three occasions that the Total

Commitment be increased, without the consent of the Required Lenders, by an

amount up to $100,000,000 to be provided to the Borrower hereunder; provided,

that, the Total Commitment, determined after giving effect to such increase in

the Total Commitment, shall not at any time exceed $250,000,000. The

Borrower's request shall be made in writing (a "Commitment Increase Notice")

and delivered to the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior

to the proposed effective date of the increase in Total Commitment and shall

specify the amount of the proposed increase in Total Commitment and the

proposed effective date for such increase in Total Commitment, which proposed

effective date must be prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date.

In the event of such a Commitment Increase Notice, each of the Lenders shall be

given the opportunity to participate in the requested increase. No Lender, by

virtue of its being a party hereto, shall have any obligation of any kind to

provide such commitments, and each Lender may determine with sole, absolute and

complete discretion whether to provide such commitments. On or prior to a date

that is five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Commitment Increase Notice,

each Lender shall submit to the Administrative Agent a notice indicating the

- 73 -

<PAGE>

maximum amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitments in connection

with such Commitment Increase Notice (any such notice to the Administrative

Agent being herein a "Lender Increase Notice"). Any Lender which does not

submit a Lender Increase Notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the

expiration of such five (5) Business Day period shall be deemed to have denied

any increase in its Commitments. In the event that the increases of

Commitments set forth in the Lender Increase Notices exceed the amount

requested by the Borrower in the Commitment Increase Notice, the Administrative

Agent shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to allocate the

amount of increases necessary to meet the Borrower's Commitment Increase

Notice. In the event that the Lender Increase Notices are less than the amount

requested by the Borrower, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the

proposed effective date the Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent of any

Eligible Assignee that shall have agreed to become a "Lender" party hereto (an

"Acceding Lender") in connection with the Commitment Increase Notice. Any

Acceding Lender shall be approved of by the Administrative Agent, which

approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Borrower shall not have

arranged any Acceding Lender(s) to commit to the shortfall from the Lender

Increase Notices, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have reduced the amount

of its Commitment Increase Notice to the aggregate amount set forth in the

Lender Increase Notices; provided, however, that the Borrower may at its option

withdraw such Commitment Increase Notice, in which case such Commitment

Increase Notice shall not count toward the limit of three provided in the first

sentence of this paragraph (a). Based upon the Lender Increase Notices, any

allocations made in connection therewith and any notice regarding any Acceding

Lender, if applicable, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and

the Lenders on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed

effective date of the amount of each Lender's and Acceding Lender's Commitment

(the "Effective Commitment Amount") and the amount of the Total Commitment,

which amounts shall be effective on the following Business Day subject to the

conditions set forth herein. Any increase in the Total Commitment under this

Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) as of

the date of the Commitment Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective

date of the increase in the Total Commitment under this Agreement, all

representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material

respects as though made on such date (unless such representation and warranty

is made as of a specific date, in which case, such representation and warranty

shall be true and correct as of such date); (ii) as of the date of the

Commitment Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective date of the

increase in the Total Commitment under this Agreement, no event shall have

occurred and then be continuing which constitutes a Default or Event of Default

under the Agreement and all other conditions precedent to a Credit Extension

specified in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; (iii) the Borrower, the

Administrative Agent and each Acceding Lender which shall have agreed to

provide a "Commitment" in support of such increase in the Total Commitment

under this Agreement, shall have executed and delivered an "Instrument of

Accession" in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; (iv)

counsel for the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a

supplemental opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the

Administrative Agent; and (v) the Borrower and the Acceding Lender(s) shall

otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as

the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with

such increase. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any increase

in the Total Commitment under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall

promptly advise the Borrower and each Lender of the effective date of such

increase. Upon the effective date of any increase in the Total Commitment

- 74 -

<PAGE>

under this Agreement that is supported by an Acceding Lender, such Acceding

Lender shall be a party to this Agreement as a Lender and shall have the rights

and obligations of a Lender hereunder. In addition, on the effective date, the

Administrative Agent shall replace the existing Schedule II attached hereto

with the revised Schedule II reflecting such new Total Commitment and each

Lender's Commitment. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise

be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its

Commitments hereunder.

(b) For purposes of this clause (b), (i) the term "Buying Lender(s)"

shall mean (A) each Lender the Effective Commitment Amount of which is greater

than its Commitment prior to the effective date of any increase in the Total

Commitment under this Agreement and (B) each Acceding Lender that is allocated

an Effective Commitment Amount in connection with any Commitment Increase

Notice and (ii) the term "Selling Lender(s)" shall mean each Lender whose

Commitment under this Agreement is not being increased from that in effect

prior to such increase in the Total Commitment under this Agreement as the case

may be. Effective on the effective date of any increase in the Total

Commitment under this Agreement pursuant to clause (a) above, each Selling

Lender hereby sells, grants, assigns and conveys to each Buying Lender, without

recourse, warranty or representation of any kind, except as specifically

provided herein, an undivided percentage in such Selling Lender's right, title

and interest in and to its outstanding Loans in the respective amounts and

percentages necessary so that, from and after such sale, each such Selling

Lender's outstanding Loans shall equal such Selling Lender's pro rata share

(calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the outstanding

Loans under this Agreement as applicable. Effective on the effective date of

any increase in the Total Commitment under this Agreement pursuant to clause

(a) above, each Buying Lender hereby purchases and accepts such grant,

assignment and conveyance from the Selling Lenders. Each Buying Lender hereby

agrees that its respective purchase price for the portion of the outstanding

Loans purchased hereby shall equal the respective amount necessary so that,

from and after such payments, each Buying Lender's outstanding Loans shall

equal such Buying Lender's pro rata share (calculated based upon the Effective

Commitment Amounts) of the outstanding Loans under this Agreement. Such amount

shall be payable on the effective date of the increase in the Total Commitment

under this Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the

Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, in turn, shall wire transfer

any such funds received to the Selling Lenders, in same day funds, for the sole

account of the Selling Lenders. Each Selling Lender hereby represents and

warrants to each Buying Lender that such Selling Lender owns the Loans being

sold and assigned hereby for its own account and has not sold, transferred or

encumbered any or all of its interests in such Loans, except for participations

which will be extinguished upon payment to the Selling Lender of any amount

equal to the portion of the outstanding Loans being sold by such Selling

Lender. Each Buying Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except for

such Selling Lender's representations and warranties contained in the foregoing

sentence, each such Buying Lender has entered into its Instrument of Accession

with respect to such increase on the basis of its own independent investigation

and has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, any explicit or implicit

written or oral representation, warranty or other statement of the Lenders or

the Administrative Agent concerning the authorization, execution, legality,

validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this

Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees to

compensate each Selling Lender for all losses, expenses and liabilities

- 75 -

<PAGE>

incurred by each Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any

Euro-Dollar Rate Loans hereunder on the terms and in the manner set forth in

Section 9.05 hereof.

SECTION 9.07. Replacement of Lenders.

If any Lender (an "Affected Lender") makes demand upon the Borrower for (or if

the Borrower is otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(c)

or Section 9.03, the Borrower may within ninety (90) days of receipt of such

demand (or the occurrence of such other event causing the Borrower to be

required to pay such compensation) by notice (a "Replacement Notice") in

writing to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender (a) request the

Affected Lender to cooperate with the Borrower in obtaining a replacement

Lender which is an Eligible Assignee satisfactory to the Administrative Agent

and the Borrower (the "Replacement Lender"); (b) request the non-Affected

Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender's Loans and Commitment

as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under an obligation to do

so; or (c) designate a Replacement Lender approved by the Administrative Agent,

such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If any satisfactory

Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the

non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected

Lender's Loans and Commitment, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in

accordance with Section10.07, all of its Commitment, Loans, participations in

Letter of Credit Borrowings, Notes and other rights and obligations under this

Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such Replacement Lender or

non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the

principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so

assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected

Lender; provided, however, that (i) such assignment shall be evidenced by an

Assignment and Acceptance, and (ii) prior to any such assignment, the Borrower

shall have paid to such Affected Lender all amounts properly demanded and

unreimbursed under Section 2.11(c) and Section 9.03. Upon the effective date

of such assignment, the Borrower shall issue replacement Notes to such

Replacement Lender and/or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, and such

institution shall become a "Lender" for all purposes under this Agreement and

the other Loan Documents.

and

- 77 -

<PAGE>

(d) whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

or any of the other Loan Documents shall be consummated, the Borrower shall, on

demand, pay, indemnify and hold each of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, the

Administrative Agent and each of their respective officers, directors, other

Affiliates, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an

"Indemnified Person") harmless from and against any and all liabilities,

obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,

charges, expenses or disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or

nature whatsoever with respect to each of (i) any investigation, litigation or

proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceedings involving the Borrower or any

of its Subsidiaries) related to this Agreement or any of the other Loan

Documents, Credit Extensions, or the use of any of the proceeds thereof,

whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, and (ii) the actual

or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or

groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Property owned or at any

time operated by the Borrower or by any of its Subsidiaries, the generation,

storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any

location by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not owned or

operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the noncompliance of any

such Property with Environmental Laws (including applicable permits thereunder)

applicable to any such Property, or any Environmental Liabilities asserted

against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Property owned or at any

time operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (all the foregoing

described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, collectively, the "Indemnified

Liabilities"); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have an

obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified

Liabilities to the extent determined by a final non-appealable judgment that

such Indemnified Liability resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or

willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The obligations in this Section

10.03 shall survive payment of all of the other Obligations.

SECTION 10.04. Set-Offs; Sharing of Set-Offs.

(a) In addition to any other rights and remedies of the Lenders provided

by law, if any Event of Default shall be continuing, each Lender is authorized

at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any

such notice being irrevocably waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent

permitted by law, to set off and apply, to the fullest extent permitted by

Applicable Law, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,

provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time

owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower

against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or at any time

hereafter created, arising or existing, irrespective of whether or not the

Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement

or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or

unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the

Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such

Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not

affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender

under this Section 10.04(a) are in addition to all of the other rights and

remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

(b) Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of

set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the

aggregate amount of principal and interest owing with respect to the Notes and

- 78 -

<PAGE>

Letter of Credit Obligations held by it which is greater than the proportion

received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of all

principal and interest owing with respect to the Notes and Letter of Credit

Obligations held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such

proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Notes

and Letter of Credit Obligations held by the other Lenders owing to such other

Lenders, and/or such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so

that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Notes and

Letter of Credit Obligations held by the Lenders owing to such other Lenders

shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided, that (i) nothing in this

Section 10.04 shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of

set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such

exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its

indebtedness under the Notes and the Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) if

all or any portion of such payment received by the purchasing Lender is

thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other

Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing

Lender the purchase price of such participation to the extent of such recovery

together with an amount equal to such other Lender's ratable share (according

to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Lender's required repayment

to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any

interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of

the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it

may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation

in a Note or Letter of Credit Obligation, whether or not acquired pursuant to

the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and

other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a

participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such

participation.

SECTION 10.05. Consents, Amendments, Waivers, Etc.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or

approval required or permitted by this Agreement to be given by the Lenders may

be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other instrument related

hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by

the Borrower of any terms of this Agreement or such other instrument or the

continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally

or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with,

but only with, the written consent of the Borrower and the written consent of

the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment,

modification or waiver shall:

(a) without the written consent of the Borrower and each Lender directly

affected thereby:

(i) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of

Credit Obligations, or reduce the rate of interest on the Notes or the

amount of any Fees payable to such Lender (other than interest accruing

pursuant to Section 2.05(e) following the effective date of any waiver by

the Required Lenders of the Default or Event of Default relating thereto);

(ii) increase the amount of such Lender's Commitment or extend the

expiration date of such Lender's Commitment; and

- 79 -

<PAGE>

(iii) postpone or extend the Maturity Date or any other regularly

scheduled dates for payments of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or

the Letter of Credit Obligations or any Fees or other amounts payable to

such Lender (it being understood that (A) a waiver of the application of

the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.05(e), and (B) any vote to rescind

any acceleration made pursuant to Article VII of amounts owing with

respect to the Loans and other Obligations shall require only the approval

of the Required Lenders);

(b) without the written consent of all of the Lenders, amend or waive

this Section 10.05 or the definition of Required Lenders;

(c) without the written consent of the Issuing Lender, amend or waive

Article III, the amount or time of payment of Letter of Credit Fees payable for

the Issuing Lender's account or any other provision applicable to the Issuing

Lender; and

(d) without the written consent of the Agents and the Issuing Lender,

amend or waive Article VIII.

No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or

impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission

on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in exercising any right

shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No

notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or

further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 10.06. Margin Stock Collateral.

Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the

other Lenders that it in good faith is not, directly or indirectly (by negative

pledge or otherwise), relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the

extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to

the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;

provided that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its

rights under this Agreement, without the written consent of the Lenders and

Administrative Agent.

(b) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a

"Participant") participating interests in any Loan or Letter of Credit

Obligations owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment

hereunder or any other interest or obligation of such Lender hereunder. In the

event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a

Participant, such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain

unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance

thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes

under this Agreement, and the Borrower, Issuing Lender and the Administrative

Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection

with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. In no event

shall a Lender that sells a participation be obligated to the Participant to

- 80 -

<PAGE>

take or refrain from taking any action hereunder except that such Lender may

agree that it will not (except as provided below), without the consent of the

Participant, agree to (i) postpone any date fixed for the payment of principal

of or interest on the related Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations, (ii)

reduce the amount of any principal, interest (except as provided in Section

2.05(e) or Fees due on any date fixed for the payment thereof with respect to

the related Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations, (iii) reduce the principal

of the related Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations or, (iv) any decrease in

the rate at which either interest is payable thereon or (if the Participant is

entitled to any part thereof) Fees is payable hereunder from the rate at which

the Participant is entitled to receive interest or Fees (as the case may be) in

respect of such participation. Each Lender selling a participating interest in

any Loan, Note, Commitment, Letter of Credit Obligation or other interest under

this Agreement shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such sale, provide the

Borrower and the Administrative Agent with written notification stating that

such sale has occurred and identifying the Participant and the interest

purchased by such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall

be entitled to the benefits of Article IX with respect to its participation in

Loans outstanding from time to time.

(c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Lenders or financial

institutions (each an "Assignee") all, or a proportionate part of all, of its

rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan

Documents, and such Assignee shall assume all such rights and obligations,

pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

C, executed by such Assignee, such transferor Lender and the Administrative

Agent (and, in the case of (i) an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an

Affiliate of a Lender; and (ii) an assignment not made during the existence of

an Event of Default, by the Borrower); provided, that, (i) the minimum amount

of any such assignment shall be $2,500,000 or any multiple of $500,000, (ii) no

interest may be sold by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (c) to any Assignee

that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender without the consent of

the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that

the Borrower's consent shall not be necessary with respect to any assignment

made during the existence of an Event of Default; and (iii) no interest may be

sold by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (c) to any Assignee that is not

then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, without the consent of the

Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,

provided, that, although the Administrative Agent's consent may not be

necessary with respect to an Assignee that is then a Lender or an Affiliate of

a Lender, no such assignment shall be effective until the conditions set forth

in the following sentence are satisfied. Upon (i) execution of the Assignment

and Acceptance by such transferor Lender, such Assignee, the Administrative

Agent and (if applicable) the Borrower, (ii) delivery of an executed copy of

the Assignment and Acceptance to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,

(iii) payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to

the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, and

(iv) payment by the assigning Lender of a processing and recordation fee of

$3,500 to the Administrative Agent, such Assignee shall for all purposes be a

Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of

a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original

party hereto with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption,

and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a

corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the

Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required. Upon the consummation

of any transfer to an Assignee pursuant to this paragraph (c), the transferor

- 81 -

<PAGE>

Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate

arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to each of such

Assignee and such transferor Lender.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.08, the Borrower authorizes

each Lender to disclose to any Participant, Assignee or other transferee (each

a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all financial and other

information in such Lender's possession concerning the Borrower which has been

delivered to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which

has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower in connection with such

Lender's credit evaluation prior to entering into this Agreement.

(e) No Transferee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under

Section 9.03 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive

with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the

Borrower's prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Sections

9.02 or Section 9.03 requiring such Lender to designate a different Lending

Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving

rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(f) Anything in this Section 10.07 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender

may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Loans and/or Obligations owing

to it to any Federal Reserve Lender or the United States Treasury as collateral

security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal

Reserve Bank and Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank,

provided, that any payment in respect of such assigned Loans and/or Obligations

made by the Borrower to the assigning and/or pledging Lender in accordance with

the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's obligations hereunder

in respect of such assigned Loans and/or Obligations to the extent of such

payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning and/or pledging Lender

from its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality.

Each Lender agrees to exercise its best efforts to keep any information

delivered or made available by the Borrower to it which is clearly indicated to

be confidential information, confidential from anyone other than persons

employed or retained by such Lender who are or are expected to become engaged

in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans; provided,

however, that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such

information (a) to any other Lender, (b) upon the order of any court or

administrative agency, (c) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency

or authority having jurisdiction over such Lender, (d) which has been publicly

disclosed, (e) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any

litigation to which the Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, any Lender or

their respective Affiliates may be a party, (f) to the extent reasonably

required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (g) to such

Lender's legal counsel, Affiliates and independent auditors and (h) to any

actual or proposed Participant, Assignee or other Transferee of all or part of

its rights hereunder which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions

of this Section 10.08.

- 82 -

<PAGE>

SECTION 10.09. Representation by Lenders.

Each Lender hereby represents that it is a commercial lender or financial

institution which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that

it will make its Loans hereunder for its own account in the ordinary course of

such business; provided, however, that, subject to Section 10.07, the

disposition of the Note or Notes held by that Lender shall at all times be

within its exclusive control.

SECTION 10.10. Obligations Several.

The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be

responsible for the obligations or commitments of any other Lender hereunder.

Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant

hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an

association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable

at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt,

and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out

of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and it shall not be necessary for

any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such

purpose.

SECTION 10.11. Survival of Certain Obligations.

Section 2.11(c), Section 9.03(a) and (b), Section 9.05 and Section 10.03, and

the obligations of the Borrower thereunder, shall survive, and shall continue

to be enforceable notwithstanding, the termination of this Agreement and the

Commitments and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all

Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations. The agreements of the Borrower set

forth in the Fee Letters shall survive the execution and delivery of this

Agreement and the making of each Credit Extension.

SECTION 10.12. Severability.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, the

Notes or any of the other Loan Documents should be invalid, illegal or

unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the

remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be

affected or impaired thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent

permitted by law.

SECTION 10.13. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation

to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against

or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower

makes any payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, Lenders, or the

Issuing Lender (or to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders or

the Issuing Lender), or the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing

Lender enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and

such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any

part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or

- 83 -

<PAGE>

preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or

any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law,

common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the

Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens,

rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued

in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or

such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

SECTION 10.14. Interest and Fees.

In no event shall the amount of interest and Fees due or payable hereunder or

under the Notes exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law,

and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made to any Lender by the

Borrower or inadvertently received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be

credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify such

Lender in writing that it elects to have such excess sum returned forthwith.

It is the express intent hereof that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not

receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of

that which may legally be paid by the Borrower under applicable law.

SECTION 10.15. Interpretation.

No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be

construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any

court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party

having or being deemed to have structured or dictated such provision.

SECTION 10.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

THE PARTIES HERETO EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY

CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS

AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR

THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY

ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO

10.16 AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE

OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR

ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO

ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS

AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 10.17. JURISDICTION.

ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN

DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE

UNITED STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF

THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS

PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. TO THE EXTENT

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION,

- 84 -

<PAGE>

INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM

NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY

SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402).

SECTION 10.19. Counterparts.

This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts

and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when executed and

delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one

instrument. In proving this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or

account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom

enforcement is sought. Delivery by facsimile by any of the parties hereto of

an executed counterpart hereof or of any amendment or waiver hereto shall be as

waiver and shall be considered a representation that an original executed
