2. CREDIT.

2.1 Revolving Credit Facility.

(a) Revolving Loan. Provided there does not then exist a
Default or an Event of Default, and subject to the terms and conditions herein
set forth, each Lender agrees severally (and not jointly) to make its Pro Rata
Share of advances to the Borrower, on a revolving credit basis (the "Revolving
Loan") in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the lesser
of (i) the Total Revolving Loan Facility or (ii) the Borrowing Base, in each
case less the Lender Guaranty Reserve outstanding at such time ("Borrowing
Availability").

The Agent reserves the right, upon ten (10) days' prior
written notice to the Borrower, in its Permitted Discretion (i) to adjust any
eligibility criteria or establish new eligibility criteria, (ii) modify the
advance rates against Eligible Inventory and Eligible Accounts, and (iii)
establish reserves against Borrowing Availability. The provisions of
subsection 2.10 shall not apply to any prepayment in full of the Obligations
made within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Agent shall have imposed
any such adjustment or revision of eligibility criteria, modification of
advance rates or new reserves if the aggregate effect of any such action is to
reduce the Borrowing Base in effect immediately prior to such actions by
fifteen percent (15%) or more.

(b) Advances. Until all amounts outstanding in respect
of the Revolving Loan shall become due and payable on the Termination Date,
within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms, provisions and
limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay
and reborrow under this subsection 2.1. The Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon, and shall be fully protected under this Agreement from any liability to
any Person in relying upon, any such notice reasonably believed by the Agent to
be genuine and to assume that each Person executing and delivering the same was
duly authorized by the Borrower. Each advance to the Borrower shall, on the day
of such advance, be deposited, in immediately available funds, into the
Borrower's Account, unless otherwise requested by the Borrower in writing.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, as part of the Revolving Loan and in addition to advances under the
Revolving Loan, upon the request of the Borrower, SBCC, on behalf of each
Lender according to such Lender's Pro Rata Share, may issue or arrange for the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and/or guaranty
payment to the Issuing Banks which issue Letters of Credit for the account of
the Borrower (all such Letters of Credit issued by SBCC are collectively
referred to herein as "Lender Guaranties" and individually as a "Lender
Guaranty"); provided that SBCC shall

not be under any obligation to issue any Lender Guaranty if (i) any order,
judgment or decree of any government authority or other regulatory body shall
purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain SBCC or any Lender from issuing such
Lender Guaranty, or any law or governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline
or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental
authority or other regulatory body with jurisdiction over SBCC or any Lender
shall prohibit the issuance of Lender Guaranties in particular or shall impose
upon SBCC or any Lender with respect to such Lender Guaranties any restriction
or reserve or capital requirement (for which SBCC or such Lender is not
otherwise compensated) or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which SBCC or
any Lender in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it or (ii) the issuance thereof
would violate any established credit policy of general application of the Agent
and of which the Agent has previously notified the Borrower in writing. In no
event shall SBCC issue or otherwise become obligated with respect to a Letter
of Credit (including, without limitation, Letters of Credit issued with an
automatic "evergreen" provision) having an expiration date, or a date for
payment of any draft presented thereunder, later than the earlier of (i) twelve
(12) months from the date of issuance or (ii) three (3) days prior to the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Such issuance and obligations with respect to a
Letter of Credit pursuant to this subsection 2.1(c) shall be deemed to be a
Revolving Loan for purposes of requiring the satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4. Additions to the Lender Guaranty Reserve
shall be established concurrently with the issuance of each Lender Guaranty.
Immediately upon the issuance of any Lender Guaranty in accordance with this
subsection 2.1(c), each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from SBCC, without recourse,
representation or warranty, an individual participation interest equal to its
Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of such Lender Guaranty and each draw
paid by the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit issued in connection
therewith. Each Lender's obligation to pay its Pro Rata Share of all draws
under the Letters of Credit issued in connection with such Lender Guaranties
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and in each case shall be made
without counterclaim or set-off by such Lender.

(ii) The aggregate amount of Lender Guaranty Liability with respect
to Lender Guaranties outstanding at any one time shall not exceed $4,000,000.

(iii) The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally
obligated forthwith upon demand without presentment, protest or other
formalities of any kind, to reimburse the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, for
any amounts paid by the Lenders with respect to each Lender Guaranty including,
without limitation, all amounts paid by the Lenders upon any draw with respect
to a Letter of Credit and any guaranty or reimbursement obligation paid by the
Lenders to any Person upon any draw upon a Letter of Credit. All such
reimbursement obligations shall be due and payable on demand. If not paid
within one (1) Business Day following demand, or, if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, on the date such reimbursement obligations
arise, the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Agent, at the Agent's
option, to debit the Loan Account (by increasing the principal balance of the
advances under the Revolving Loan), in the amount of any payment made by the
Lenders with respect to any Lender Guaranty and, in connection therewith, the
Lender Guaranty Reserve then in effect shall be reduced by the amount of

such debit. All amounts paid by the Lenders with respect to any Lender
Guaranty that are not immediately repaid by the Borrower with the proceeds of
an advance under the Revolving Loan or otherwise shall bear interest at the
Base Rate then applicable to the Revolving Loan. If SBCC makes a payment on
account of any Lender Guaranty and is not concurrently reimbursed therefor by
the Borrower and if for any reason an advance under the Revolving Loan may not
be made as stated in this subsection 2.1(c), then as promptly as practical
during normal banking hours on the date of its receipt of such notice or, if
not practicable on such date, not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the
Business Day immediately succeeding such date of notification, each Lender
shall deliver to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, in immediately
available funds, the purchase price for such Lender's interest in such
unreimbursed Lender Guaranty, which shall be an amount equal to such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of such payment. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to reimburse the Agent pursuant to this subsection 2.1(c)(ii) with
respect to Lender Guaranty Liabilities is absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever including, without limitation,
the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and further
acknowledges and agrees that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(iv) In addition to all other terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, the issuance by the Lenders of any Lender Guaranty shall be
subject to the conditions precedent that the Issuing Bank be satisfactory to
the Agent and that the Letter of Credit be in such form as is reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent. The Borrower shall comply with all such terms and
conditions imposed by any Issuing Bank or by the Agent with respect to the
issuance of any Letter of Credit, whether such terms and conditions are imposed
in the application for such Letter of Credit, the Lenders' guaranty of such
letter of credit or otherwise.

(v) Prior to the issuance of a Lender Guaranty and as a condition
to such issuance, the Borrower shall give the Agent prior written notice
specifying the date a Lender Guaranty is to be issued, identifying the
beneficiary of the guaranty and describing the nature of the transactions
proposed to be supported thereby and specifying whether the Borrower is
requesting a Lender Guaranty in the form of a Letter of Credit issued by a
Lender acting as the Issuing Bank or a guaranty of a Letter of Credit issued by
another Issuing Bank. The notice shall be accompanied by the form of the
Letter of Credit. Subject to the terms hereof, the Agent shall issue the
requested Lender Guaranty as soon as practicable and not more than three (3)
Business Days following the date of the applicable notice; provided that the
Lender Guaranty shall not be issued until the Agent and the Issuing Bank have
mutually agreed upon the form of such Lender Guaranty.

(vi) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, pay and hold the
Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all pending or overtly
threatened claims, litigation, damages, losses and liabilities incurred by the
Agent or any Lender (or which may be claimed against the Agent or any Lender by
any Person whatsoever) and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in defending
or responding to such claims or litigation by reason of or in connection with
the execution, delivery or transfer of, or payment or failure to pay

under, any Lender Guaranty including, without limitation, any action taken or
omitted by any Issuing Bank; provided that the Borrower shall not be required
to indemnify or hold harmless the Agent or any Lender for any such claims,
litigation, losses or liabilities to the extent arising from such Person's
willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Borrower's unconditional
obligations to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall not be modified or
diminished for any reason or in any manner whatsoever. The Borrower agrees
that any charges made to the Agent or the Lenders for the Borrower's account
by any Issuing Bank shall be conclusive as between such Persons and the
Borrower and may be charged to the Loan Account.

2.2 Maximum Principal Balance. If at any time the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan advances and
Lender Guaranty Liabilities shall exceed the lesser of (i) the Total Revolving
Loan Facility or (ii) the Borrowing Base (any such excess being referred to
herein as an "Overadvance"), the Borrower shall immediately and without notice
or demand of any kind (a) repay the outstanding advances under the Revolving
Loan to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess and (b) if any excess
remains after payment in full of the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan,
cash collateralize the Lender Guaranty Liabilities in accordance with
subsection 2.7(b) to the extent necessary to eliminate such remaining excess;
provided that if such Overadvance results from the Agent's exercise of its
Permitted Discretion under subsection 2.1(a), so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Overadvance shall be repaid
by the Borrower within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such Overadvance.

2.3 Evidence of Revolving Loan Indebtedness. The
advances by each Lender under the Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by a
promissory note in favor of each respective Lender (collectively, the
"Revolving Loan Notes") in the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment dated
the Closing Date in the form attached as Exhibit 2.3. All of the Revolving
Loan Obligations to the Lenders hereunder shall be payable by the Borrower by
application of the proceeds of all Accounts and other Collateral in accordance
with subsection 3.5, and shall be payable in full upon the Termination Date,
and the principal amount of such Revolving Loan Obligations shall bear interest
as hereinafter provided. Each advance by the Lenders and each repayment of
principal applicable to such advance shall be reflected in the Loan Account.

2.4 Payment Dates. Interest shall be payable on Base
Rate Loans in arrears on the first day of each calendar month for all periods
ending prior to such month for which such Base Rate Loans are or, in the case
of a Base Rate Loan converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan during the prior month, were
outstanding and at the maturity of such Base Rate Loan (whether by acceleration
or otherwise), commencing with the first of such dates to occur after the date
of such Base Rate Loan. Interest shall be payable on LIBOR Rate Loans on the
last day of each Interest Period relating to such LIBOR Rate Loan and at the
maturity of such LIBOR Rate Loan (whether by acceleration or otherwise),
commencing with the first of such dates to occur after the date of such LIBOR
Rate Loan. After maturity, accrued interest on the Revolving Loan shall be
payable on demand. Any payment due hereunder on any day other than a Business
Day shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and if such payment shall
bear interest in accordance herewith, interest shall accrue to the date of
payment.

2.5 Interest.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, advances under the Revolving Loan may be divided into Base Rate
Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower
in accordance with subsections 2.5(e) and 2.5(f); provided that the Revolving
Loan shall not have more than three (3) Interest Periods outstanding at any one
time. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, interest on
the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan at the Base Rate or the
LIBOR Rate, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.6.

(b) Interest and all fees (other than prepayment fees)
shall be computed (on a daily basis) on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest on the Revolving Loan,
the date of funding of the Revolving Loan or the first day of an Interest
Period applicable to the Revolving Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan
being converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR
Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, shall be included and the date of payment of
the Revolving Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to
the Revolving Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a
LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR
Rate Loan, shall be excluded; provided that if an advance under the Revolving
Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be
paid on such advance. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.

(c) So long as an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders interest from the date
of such Event of Default to and including the date of cure of such Event of
Default on the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations at the Default
Rate applicable to such Obligations; provided that in the case of LIBOR Rate
Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such LIBOR Rate Loans
shall automatically become Base Rate Loans and thereafter bear interest at the
Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.

(d) (i) Interest shall be due at the Base Rate, the LIBOR
Rate or the Default Rate, as provided herein, after as well as before demand,
default and judgment notwithstanding any judgment rate of interest provided
for in any statute. If any interest payment or other charge or fee payable
hereunder exceeds the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law, then
to the extent permitted by law and subject to the provisions of subparagraph
(ii) of this subsection 2.5(d), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
maximum amount then permitted by applicable law and the Borrower shall
continue to pay the maximum amount from time to time permitted by applicable
law until all such interest payments and other charges and fees otherwise due
hereunder (in the absence of such restraint imposed by applicable law) have
been paid in full.

(ii) It is the intention of the Agent, the Lenders
and the Borrower to comply with the laws of the State of Illinois, and
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the
other Financing Agreements, the Borrower

shall not be required to pay and the Lenders shall not be permitted to
collect any amount in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by
law ("Excess Interest"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or
determined to have been provided for by a court of competent jurisdiction
in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, then in such
event: (A) the provisions of this subsection 2.5(d)(ii) shall govern and
control; (B) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall be
obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (C) any Excess Interest that any
Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at such Lender's option (1)
applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the
Obligations or accrued and unpaid interest (not to exceed the maximum
amount permitted by law), (2) refunded to the payor thereof, or (3) any
combination of the foregoing; (D) the interest rate(s) provided for herein
shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed under
applicable law, and this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall
be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such
reduction; and (E) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall
have any action against any Lender for any damages arising out of the
payment or collection of any Excess Interest.

(e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower
shall select the Rate Option and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest
Period applicable to each LIBOR Rate Loan from time to time by giving the Agent
irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit 2.6-1 hereto (a "Borrowing Notice")
not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) (i) on the Funding Date of any
Base Rate Loan, and (ii) three (3) Business Days before the Funding Date for
each LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying:

(i) the Funding Date of each LIBOR Rate Loan;

(ii) the aggregate amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan (and, if
such Borrowing Notice refers to more than one Rate Option, the amount of
each Base Rate Loan and LIBOR Rate Loan which will become part of the
Revolving Loan;

(iii) the Rate Option(s) selected for such advance under the
Revolving Loan; and

(iv) in the case of each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Interest
Period applicable thereto;

provided that no advance under the Revolving Loan may be made as a LIBOR Rate
Loan if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

The Borrower shall select Interest Periods so that it is not
necessary to repay any portion of a LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the last day of
the applicable Interest Period in order to make a payment or prepayment of
principal on the Revolving Loan required by the terms hereof including, without
limitation, prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.7(b).

(f) Base Rate Loans shall continue as Base Rate Loans
unless and until such Base Rate Loans are converted by the Borrower into LIBOR
Rate Loans in accordance with this subsection 2.5(f). Each LIBOR Rate Loan
shall continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan until the end of the then applicable
Interest Period, at which time such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically
converted into a Base Rate Loan unless the Borrower shall have given the Agent
an irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit 2.5-2 (a "Conversion/Continuation
Notice") requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Rate
Loan continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan for the same or another Interest Period;
provided that no outstanding advance under the Revolving Loan may be continued
as, or be converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan if any Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the
Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of the
Revolving Loan of any Rate Option into any other Rate Option; provided that any
conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall give the Agent a
Conversion/Continuation Notice of each conversion or continuation of a Base
Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, as the case may be, not later than 12:00 noon
(Chicago time) (i) on the Funding Date, in the case of a conversion into a Base
Rate Loan, and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before the Funding Date of
the requested conversion or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying:

(i) the Funding Date of such conversion or
continuation;

(ii) the aggregate amount and Rate Option(s) of the
advance under the Revolving Loan which is to be converted or
continued; and

(iii) the amount and Rate Option(s) of the Base Rate
Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans into which such advance under the
Revolving Loan is to be converted or continued and, in the case
of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the
duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(g) In lieu of delivering a Borrowing Notice or a
Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower may give the Agent notice by
telephone or telecopy by the required time of any proposed borrowing or
conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.5; provided that such notice
shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Borrowing Notice or a
Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, to the Agent on or before
the proposed Funding Date. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall incur any
liability to the Borrower in acting upon any such notice by telephone that the
Agent believes in good faith to have been given by the Borrower or for
otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.5 and, upon the funding
or conversion/continuation, as the case may be, by the Agent in accordance with
this Agreement pursuant to any such notice, the Borrower shall have effected
such funding, conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder. A
Borrowing Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice for the funding of, or
conversion to, or continuation of, a LIBOR Rate Loan (or notice by telephone or
telecopy in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable once given, and the Borrower
shall be bound to convert or continue in accordance therewith.

(h) Each LIBOR Rate Loan (whether resulting from a
Borrowing Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice) shall be in the minimum
amount of Five Hundred Thousand

Dollars ($500,000) and in integral multiples of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) if in excess thereof.

2.6 Method of Borrowing; Manner and Method of Making
Interest and Other Payments. () Not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on
each Funding Date, each Lender shall make available its Pro Rata Share of the
advances under the Revolving Loan (except for advances made pursuant to a
Conversion/Continuation Notice, in which case each Lender shall be deemed to
have made its advances) in funds immediately available in Chicago, Illinois to
the Agent at its address specified pursuant to subsection 10.13. The Agent
will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in
accordance with subsection 2.1(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this subsection 2.6(a), to the extent that an advance under the Revolving Loan
made by a Lender matures or is to be repaid on the Funding Date of a requested
advance under the Revolving Loan, such Lender shall first apply the proceeds of
the advance it is then making to the repayment of such maturing advance under
the Revolving Loan.

(b) All payments by the Borrower of the Obligations shall
be made without deduction, defense, setoff or counterclaim and in same day
funds. In their sole discretion, the Required Lenders may deem interest and
other amounts payable hereunder (other than the principal balance of the
Revolving Loan) to be paid by causing such amounts to be added to the principal
balance of the Revolving Loan, all as set forth on the Agent's books and
records. The Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Lenders, at the option
of the Required Lenders, to make advances in the Revolving Loan by appropriate
debits to the Loan Account for all payments which the Borrower is required to
make to the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.
Unless otherwise directed by the Agent, all payments to the Lenders hereunder
shall be made by delivery thereof to the Agent at its address set forth in
subsection 10.12 or by delivery to the Agent for deposit in the Blocked
Accounts of all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral in accordance with
subsection 3.5. If the Agent elects to ▇▇▇▇ the Borrower for any amount due
hereunder, such amount shall be immediately due and payable with interest
thereon as provided herein. Solely for the purpose of calculating interest
earned by each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loan, any check, draft or
similar item of payment by or for the account of the Borrower delivered to the
Agent or deposited in a Blocked Account in accordance with subsection 3.5 shall
be applied by the Agent on account of the Revolving Loan Obligations on the
Business Day the Agent has received immediately available funds as a result of
the deposit thereof in accordance with subsection 3.5. Immediately available
funds received by the Agent after 2:00 p.m., (Chicago time), shall be deemed to
have been received on the following Business Day.

(c) (i) Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may
be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make
payment to the Agent of (A) in the case of a Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of the proceeds of an advance under the Revolving Loan or (B) in the case
of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest, fees or other Obligations to
the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such
payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the
intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If the Borrower or such
Lender, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the
recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the
amount so made

available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the
period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent
until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x)
in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for such day (as
determined by the Agent) or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to the relevant advance under the Revolving Loan.

(ii) Nothing contained in this subsection 2.6(c)
will be deemed to relieve a Lender of its obligation to
fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights the Agent
or the Borrower may have against such Lender as a result of
any default by such Lender under this Agreement.

(iii) If the Agent determines at any time that any
amount received by the Agent under this Agreement must be
returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant
to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any
other term or condition of this Agreement, the Agent will not
be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender.
In addition, each Lender will repay to the Agent on demand any
portion of such amount that the Agent has distributed to such
Lender.

(iv) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Lender shall be obligated to fund its Pro Rata
Share of any advance under the Revolving Loan made with respect
to any draw on a Letter of Credit or Lender Guaranty therefor
after acceleration of the Obligations.

2.7 Term of this Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall be effective from the Closing
Date until the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (the "Initial Term"), subject to
annual renewals thereafter of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date as hereinafter
provided (each such renewal being referred to as a "Renewal Term"); provided
that all of the Agent's and each Lender's rights and remedies under this
Agreement shall survive such termination until all of the Obligations have been
finally paid in full in cash. Not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end
of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, the Borrower shall notify the Agent in
writing if the Borrower elects to renew this Agreement for a Renewal Term, and
not less than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or such
Renewal Term, as applicable, the Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing if
the Lenders elect to accept such renewal. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
unless the Borrower and each Lender shall agree in writing to extend this
Agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall
terminate upon the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Initial Term or
any Renewal Term, as applicable, or the final payment in full of all of the
Obligations. In addition, this Agreement may be terminated as set forth in
subsections 2.7(b) and 9. Upon the effective date of termination, all of the
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand
notwithstanding any terms contained herein or in any Note to the contrary.
Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, until (i) all of the
Obligations except unmatured contingent Obligations (other than those
Obligations described in clauses (ii) and (iii) below) for which no claim has
been asserted shall have been paid in full in cash, (ii) the Lender Guaranties
shall have been terminated or payment thereof shall have been secured in
accordance with subsection 2.7(b) and (iii) the Borrower shall have provided to
the

Agent for the benefit of the Lenders security on terms satisfactory to the
Agent with respect to any pending or overtly threatened action against any
Person which could result in a claim against the Borrower by any Indemnitee for
indemnification under subsection 7.10, the Borrower shall remain bound by the
terms of this Agreement and the Lenders shall be entitled to retain their Liens
on the Collateral.

(b) Subject to the termination fee set forth in
subsection 2.10 and the provisions of subsection 2.20, upon not less than ten
(10) days prior written notice to the Agent specifying the date of termination,
the Borrower may terminate this Agreement and the Commitments hereunder by
prepaying in full, but not in part, all of the outstanding Obligations
(excluding outstanding Lender Guaranties). Upon such termination and
prepayment in full, the Borrower shall (i) cause the Agent and each Lender to
be released from all liability under any Lender Guaranties or (ii) (x) cause to
be issued to and for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders a letter of
credit in form and substance acceptable to the Agent issued by a bank or other
financial institution acceptable to the Agent to secure such Lender Guaranties,
or (y) deposit cash collateral with the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and
the Lenders, in either case, in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate Lender
Guaranty Liability with respect to the Lender Guaranties that will remain
outstanding after prepayment in full of all other Obligations.

2.8 Audit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to SBCC,
individually in its capacity as the Agent, a collateral audit fee (the "Audit
Fee") in an amount equal to (i) the Agent's reasonable out-of-pocket costs,
plus (ii) a fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per day for each field
audit conducted by the Agent pursuant to Section 7.2; provided that so long as
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrower shall not be liable for reimbursing the Agent for the costs and
expenses of more than three (3) field audits in any Fiscal Year.

2.9 Closing Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a closing fee (the "Closing Fee") in an
amount equal to one percent (1%) of the sum on such date of the Total Revolving
Loan Facility, such fee to be payable in two equal installments on (a) the
Closing Date and (b) December 20, 1997; provided that the Closing Fee shall be
fully earned on the Closing Date; provided further that if the Total Revolving
Loan Facility shall be terminated prior to such date (whether as a result of
acceleration, voluntary prepayment or otherwise) the remaining unpaid Closing
Fee shall be payable on such prior termination date.

2.10 Termination Fee.

(a) Subject to subsections 2.1(a) and 2.10(b), If the
Borrower shall terminate this Agreement and prepay all of the Obligations prior
to April 23, 2000 pursuant to subsection 2.7(b), the Borrower shall pay to the
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as liquidated damages and
compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available to the
Borrower hereunder an amount determined as follows: one percent (1%) of the
Total Revolving Loan Facility for a termination during the first Loan Year; one
half of one percent (0.50%) of the Total Revolving Loan Facility for a

of the Total Revolving Loan Facility for a termination during the third Loan

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in subsection

or (ii) SBCC or any of its affiliates shall hold a Commitment in the aggregate

Agreement and prepay the Obligations in accordance with subsection 2.7(b)
without premium or penalty other than as provided in subsection 2.20.

2.11 Unused Line Fee. From and after the Closing Date,
the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a
fee (the "Unused Line Fee") in an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan
Facility less the average daily closing balance of the advances under the
Revolving Loan plus Lender Guaranty Liabilities outstanding during the
preceding month (or shorter period with respect to the period commencing with
the Closing Date or the period ending with the Termination Date) multiplied by
three eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum. The Unused Line Fee shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each May, August, November and
February following the Closing Date, commencing May 1, 1997 and on the
Termination Date.

2.12 Other Fees, Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall
reimburse the Agent on demand for all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses
reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with any matters contemplated by
or arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement (which fees,
costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations and secured by the
Collateral) including, without limitation: (i) following the occurrence of an
Event of Default in verifying or inspecting the Accounts or the Inventory or
the Borrower's records with respect thereto; (ii) in connection with opening
and maintaining the Blocked Accounts and depositing for collection any check or
item of payment received by and/or delivered to any Collecting Bank or the
Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations; (iii) arising out of the

Agreements and all amendments, modifications and waivers with respect hereto or
with respect to the other Financing Agreements including, without limitation,
search fees, appraisal fees and expenses, title insurance policy fees, costs
and expenses; filing and recording fees; reasonable fees, costs and expenses of
the Agent's outside attorneys and paralegals and all Taxes payable in
connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, whether such
fees, costs and expenses are incurred prior to, on or after the Closing Date;
(vii) arising from the Agent's employment of counsel or otherwise in connection
with protecting, perfecting or preserving the Agent's Liens in the Collateral
in accordance with subsection 10.2 and (viii) in connection with any
refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under the
Financing Agreements, whether in the nature of a "workout" or in connection
with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or in connection with any other
matters contemplated by or arising out of this Agreement or the other Financing
Agreements. The Borrower shall reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for all out
of pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender (which
fees, costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations and secured by the
Collateral) in connection with (i) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit,
proceeding or action in any way relating to

the Collateral, any of the Financing Agreements or any other agreement to be
executed or delivered in connection therewith or herewith, whether as party,
witness, or otherwise, including any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case,
proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a
case commenced by or against the Borrower or any Subsidiary that may be
obligated to the Agent or any Lender by virtue of the Financing Agreements
(including any such litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action
arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the Revolving Loan
during the pendency of one or more Events of Default); and (ii) any enforcement
of any of the Financing Agreements including any such enforcement in the course
of any work-out or restructuring of the Revolving Loan during the pendency of
one or more Events of Default. Any portion of the foregoing fees, costs and
expenses which remains unpaid ten (10) days following the Agent's or a Lender's
statement and request for payment thereof shall bear interest from the date of
such statement and request for payment at the Default Rate.

2.13 Loan Account. The Agent shall maintain a loan
account ("Loan Account") on its books in which shall be recorded (i) all
advances under the Revolving Loans and other advances made to the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the issuance of all Lender Guaranties, (iii)
all payments made by the Borrower on the Revolving Loan and advances and (iv)
all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement
including, without limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and interest. All
entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with the Agent's
customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. So long as a
Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all
payments at any time or times thereafter received by the Agent or any Lender
from or on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower does hereby irrevocably
agree that each Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and
to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter against
the Obligations in such manner as such Lender may deem advisable
notwithstanding any previous entry by the Agent upon the Loan Account or by the
Agent or such Lender on any other books and records.

2.14 Statements. All advances to the Borrower, and all
other debits and credits provided for in this Agreement, shall be evidenced by
entries made by the Agent in the Loan Account and in the Agent's books and
records showing the date, amount and reason for each such debit or credit.
Until such time as the Agent shall have rendered to the Borrower written
statements of account as provided herein, the balance in the Loan Account, as
set forth on the Agent's most recent printout or other written statement,
shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to each
Lender by the Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in
so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the Borrower's obligations to
pay the Obligations. Not more than twenty (20) days after the last day of each
calendar month, the Agent shall render to the Borrower a statement setting
forth the principal balance of the Loan Account and the calculation of interest
due thereon. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by
the Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be presumed correct
and binding upon the Borrower, and shall constitute an account stated unless,
within thirty (30) days after receipt of any statement from the Agent, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Agent in accordance with subsection 10.12 written
objection thereto specifying the error or errors, if any, contained in such
statement. In the absence of a written objection delivered to the Agent as set
forth in this subsection 2.14, the Agent's statement of the Loan Account shall
be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Obligations.

2.15 Lender Guaranty Fees. The Borrower shall pay to
the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, fees for any Lender Guaranty
("Lender Guaranty Fees") for the period from and including the date of issuance
of such Lender Guaranty to and excluding the date of expiration or termination
of such Lender Guaranty, equal to the daily average amount of the Lender
Guaranty Liability multiplied by three percent (3%) per annum which fees shall
include all amounts paid by the Lenders to any Issuing Bank for the costs, fees
and expenses customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in respect of Letters of
Credit issued by it. Lender Guaranty Fees shall be payable monthly in arrears
on the first day of the month following the date of issuance of any such Lender
Guaranty and the first day of each month thereafter during which such Lender
Guaranty shall remain outstanding and on the Termination Date.

2.16 Other Lender Guaranty Provisions.

(a) The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent
and each Lender for payments made under any Lender Guaranty shall be
unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including the following
circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of
any Lender Guaranty or any other agreement;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off,
defense or other right which the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or the
Agent or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any
transferee of any Lender Guaranty (or any Persons for whom any such
transferee may be acting), the Agent, any Lender or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including, without
limitation, any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any of
its Affiliates and the beneficiary for which such Lender Guaranty was
procured);

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or any
other document presented under any Lender Guaranty proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) payment by the Agent or any Lender under
any Lender Guaranty against presentation of a demand, draft or
certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of
such Lender Guaranty; provided that, in the case of any payment by the
Agent or any Lender under such Lender Guaranty, such Person has not
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
final judgment, not subject to review on appeal, of a court of
competent jurisdiction in determining that the demand for payment under
any Lender Guaranty complies on its face with any applicable
requirements for a demand for payment under such Lender Guaranty;

(v) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, which is similar to any of the foregoing; or

(vi) the fact that a Default or an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided
in this Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and
hold the Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims,
suits, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) which the Agent or
any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of
(1) the issuance of any Lender Guaranty other than as a result of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Person as determined by a final order,
not subject to review on appeal, of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (2)
the failure of the Agent or any Lender to honor a demand for payment under any
Lender Guaranty as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or
wrongful, of any Governmental Authority.

(c) As among the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, the
Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any
Lender Guaranty by, beneficiaries thereof. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be
responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
legal effect of any document by any Person in connection with the application
for and issuance of any Lender Guaranty, even if it should in fact prove to be
in any and all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or
forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Lender Guaranty 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; (iii) for failure of the
beneficiary of any Lender Guaranty to comply fully with conditions required in
order to demand payment under such Lender Guaranty; provided that, in the case
of any payment by the Agent or any Lender under any Lender Guaranty, such
Person has not acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined
by a final judgment, not subject to review on appeal, of a court of competent
jurisdiction, in determining that the demand for payment under any Lender
Guaranty complies on its face with any applicable requirements for a demand for
payment under such Lender Guaranty; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions
or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable,
telegraph or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms;
(vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document
required in order to make a payment under any Lender Guaranty or of the
proceeds thereof; (vii) for the credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any
Lender Guaranty; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the
control of the Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, any act or
omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Governmental Authority. None of
the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the Agent's or
any Lender's rights or powers hereunder.

In furtherance and extension of, and not in limitation of, the
specific provisions hereinabove set forth, the Borrower hereby agrees that any
action taken or omitted by the Agent or any Lender or any Issuing Bank under or
in connection with any Lender Guaranty or any related certificates, or the
Collateral relating thereto, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall be
binding on the Borrower and shall not impose any resulting liability on the
Agent or any Lender to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its
obligations hereunder to any such Person.

2.17 Taxes; Changes in Law.

(a) Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder
or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for
any and all present and future Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law
to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the
Agent or any Lender, then (i) the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as
may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, the Agent or
such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made and (ii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with
applicable law. The Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the Agent
and each Lender harmless from and against all Taxes imposed upon the Agent or
any Lender as a result of or arising in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby.

(b) In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date,
or, in the case of a Participant assigned an interest in or sold a
participation in the Revolving Loan pursuant to subsection 11.1, subsequent to
the date of such assignment or sale, (a) any change in any existing law,
regulation, rule, policy, guideline, treaty or directive or in the
interpretation or application thereof (whether or not having the force of law)
including, without limitation, any change resulting from the implementation of
risk-based capital guidelines, (b) any new law, regulation, rule, guideline,
treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof or (c)
compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law and including by way of withdrawal or termination of any
previously available exemption) from any central bank, governmental authority,
agency or instrumentality (including, without limitation, any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy)

(i) does or shall subject any Lender or such
Participant to any Taxes with respect to this Agreement, the
other Financing Agreements or any Loans made hereunder, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or such
Participant of principal, commitment, fees, interest or any
other amount payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate
of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or such
Participant imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender
is incorporated or has its principal place of business); or

(ii) does or shall impose on any Lender or such
Participant any other condition or increased cost in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or
participation herein; or

(iii) affects the amount of any reserve, special
deposit, assessment or similar charge (other than reserves and
assessments taken into account in determining the LIBOR Rate)
required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or such
Participant or any corporation controlling such Lender or such
Participant and such Lender or such Participant determines
that such amount required or expected is increased by or based
upon the existence of this Agreement or its advances under the
Revolving Loan hereunder,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender
or such Participant of making, funding, maintaining or continuing any advances
under the Revolving Loan hereunder or issuing Lender Guaranties or selling any
participation therein or assigning any of its Commitments to make the Revolving
Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable by such
Lender or such Participant in connection with advances under the Revolving Loan
or Lender Guaranties, or to require any Lender or Participant to make any
payment calculated by reference to the amount of Revolving Loan advances held
or Lender Guaranties issued or participated in or interest received by it,
then, in any such case, within five (5) days after written demand the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender or such Participant any additional amounts which are
necessary to compensate such Lender or such Participant for such additional
cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender or such Participant
reasonably deems to be material as determined by such Lender or such
Participant with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements or
the Revolving Loan made hereunder; provided that no Participant shall be
entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to this subsection 2.17(b) than
the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the
amount of the participation transferred to such Participant had no such
transfer occurred. If such Lender or Participant becomes entitled to claim any
additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.17, it shall promptly notify
the Borrower in writing of the event by reason of which such Lender or
Participant has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this subsection 2.17 submitted by such Lender or
Participant to the Borrower shall be presumed correct in the absence of
manifest error.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central
bank or other Governmental Authority shall declare that it is unlawful, for any
Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR
Rate Loan, then, unless such Lender is able to agree to make or to make or
continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan at another branch or
office of such Lender without, in such Lender's opinion, adversely affecting it
or its portion of the Revolving Loan or the income obtained therefrom, on
notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to
continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall terminate and (ii) the
Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans,
together with interest accrued thereon, of such Lender unless the Borrower,
within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand,
converts all such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans.

(d) Each Lender organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its
execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender on the
Closing Date, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to
time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent (but only
so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide the
Agent and the Borrower with Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, as
appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Service, certifying that
such Lender is exempt from or is entitled to a reduced rate of United States
withholding tax on payments under this Agreement or the Revolving Loan Notes or
certifying that the income receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or
the Revolving Loan Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a

trade or business of such Lender in the United States. If the form provided by
a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement
indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero,
withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and
until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate
applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered
excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided that, if at the
date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender becomes a
party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments or
indemnification under subsection 2.17(a) in respect of United States
withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such
extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may
be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United
States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the assignee on such
date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection 2.17(d) requires
the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the
tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue
Service form 1001 or 4224, that the Lender reasonably considers to be
confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall
not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential
information.

2.18 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and
Prepayment. The Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each
Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice and prepayment notice received
by it hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate
applicable to each LIBOR Rate Loan promptly upon determination of such interest
rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Base Rate.

2.19 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender
determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of
a Change, then, within five (5) days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower
shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in
the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender
determines is attributable to this Agreement, its advances under the Revolving
Loan, its interest in the Lender Guaranties or its obligation to make advances
under the Revolving Loan or participate in or issue Lender Guaranties hereunder
(after taking into account such Lender's policies as to capital adequacy). A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection
2.19 submitted by such Lender to the Borrower shall be presumed correct in the
absence of manifest error.

2.20 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Rate Loans.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans as to the
matters covered:

(a) As soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (Chicago
time) on each LIBOR Rate Determination Date, the Agent shall determine (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding
upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Rate Loans
for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest
Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to the Borrower.

(b) If the Agent reasonably determines (which
determination shall be final and

conclusive and binding upon all parties) that:

(i) adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable interest rate by reference to the LIBOR
Rate with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans as to which an interest rate
determination is then being made; or

(ii) deposits of a type and maturity
appropriate to match fund LIBOR Rate Loans are not available;

then, and in any such event, promptly after being notified of a borrowing,
conversion or continuation, the Agent shall give notice (in writing or by
telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower (which notice the Agent shall
promptly transmit to each Lender) of such determination, and the Agent shall
suspend the availability of LIBOR Rate Loans until such circumstance no longer
exists.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each
Lender, upon written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for requesting such amounts and which shall, absent manifest
error, be presumed correct and binding upon all parties hereto), for losses,
expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss (including
interest paid) sustained by it in connection with the liquidation or
re-employment of funds acquired to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans), that
such Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by the
Lenders) a borrowing of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified
therefor in a Borrowing Notice, a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a request
by telephone or telecopy for borrowing or conversion/continuation or a
successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given
pursuant to subsection 2.5(e) or 2.5(f); (ii) if any prepayment of any of its
LIBOR Rate Loans occurs on a date that is not the last day of the Interest
Period applicable to that LIBOR Rate Loan whether because of acceleration,
prepayment or otherwise (unless such prepayment is required pursuant to the
provisions of subsection 2.20(b)); (iii) if any of its LIBOR Rate Loans are not
paid on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or
(iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower to repay LIBOR Rate
Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement; provided that during the
period while any such amounts have not been paid, the Lenders shall reserve an
equal amount from amounts otherwise available to be borrowed under the
Revolving Loan. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the
written statement of any Lender shall be payable by the Borrower on demand
after receipt by the Borrower thereof.

(d) Any Lender may make, carry or transfer LIBOR Rate
Loans at, to, or for the account of, any of its domestic or foreign branch
offices or the office of an affiliate of such Lender. Upon the occurrence of
any event giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under
subsections 2.17(a) and 2.17(b) or subsection 2.19 with respect to a Lender,
such Lender will designate another lending office for the advances under the
Revolving Loan or the Lender Guaranties affected by such event; provided that
such designation can be made without, in such Lender's opinion, adversely
affecting it or its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan or the income obtained
therefrom or causing it to suffer any legal or regulatory disadvantage.
Nothing in this subsection 2.20(d) shall affect or postpone any of the
Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of

any Lender provided in this Agreement.

(e) Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under
subsection 2.20(b) or 2.20(c) shall be made as though each Lender had actually
funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit
bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such
LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest
Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office
to a domestic office in the United States of America; provided that each Lender
may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the
foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts
payable under this subsection 2.20.

3. REPORTING AND ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.

3.1 Monthly Reports and Borrowing Base Certificates. The
Borrower shall submit to the Agent, not later than the twentieth (20th) day of

case, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event
of Default, the Lenders reserve the right to require delivery of the Borrowing

other reports or information, in a form and with such specificity as is

satisfactory to the Required Lenders, concerning Accounts included, described
or referred to in the Borrowing Base Certificates and any other documents in
connection therewith requested by the Required Lenders including, without
limitation, but only if specifically requested by the Required Lenders, copies
of all invoices prepared in connection with such Accounts and all credit

memoranda in accordance with its current practice and without delay, but in any
event within three (3) Business Days of receipt of notice of a dispute with
respect to an Account).

3.2 Eligible Accounts. "Eligible Accounts" shall mean
all Accounts of the Borrower other than the following: (i) Accounts which
remain unpaid as of the earlier of sixty (60) days following its due date or

after the date of the original invoice with respect thereto; (ii) all Accounts

on financial data as of September 30, 1996 and attached as Exhibit 6.4-1. As
of the date thereof, the Financial Statements are complete and accurate and
fairly represent the assets, liabilities, financial condition and results of
operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, consistently applied. Except as contemplated
or permitted hereby or disclosed on Exhibit 6.4-2, since the date of the
Financial Statements through the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any
Subsidiary has: (i) incurred any debts, obligations, or liabilities (absolute,
accrued, or contingent and whether due or to become due) except current
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business which (individually or
in the aggregate) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; (ii) paid any obligation or liability other than current liabilities in
the ordinary course of business, or discharged or satisfied any Liens other
than those securing current liabilities, in each case in the ordinary course of
business; (iii) declared or made any Restricted Payment or obligated itself to
do so; (iv) mortgaged, pledged, or subjected to any Lien on any of its Property
except Permitted Liens; (v) sold, transferred, or leased any of its Property

Subsidiaries taken as a whole since September 30, 1996 through the Closing
Date.

(b) The Borrower has also furnished to the Agent and each
Lender initial Projections dated as of the Closing Date and attached as Exhibit
6.4-3, containing the information required by subsection 7.1. The initial
Projections have been prepared, and all Projections hereafter delivered in
accordance with subsection 7.1(iv) shall be prepared, by the chief financial
officer of the Borrower on the basis of the assumptions set forth therein and
do represent, and in the future will represent, the best available good faith
estimate of the Borrower's management regarding the course of business of the
Borrower and each Subsidiary for the periods covered thereby. The assumptions
set forth in the initial Projections are, as of the Closing Date, and the
assumptions set forth in the future Projections delivered hereafter shall be,
reasonable and realistic based on then current economic conditions. As of the
date of submission, the Projections represent the good faith belief of the
Borrower as to reasonably achievable results for the applicable period and the
Borrower does not have any knowledge of any reason (other than unexpected
adverse general economic conditions) that would cause the Projections not to be
achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and the Lenders acknowledge
that the Projections are and will be estimates only, and that the Borrower
makes no representation or warranty that any of the Projections will be met.

(c) The Borrower has also provided to the Agent and each
Lender (i) audited statements of income and cash flow and balance sheets for
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for each of the three
(3) most recent Fiscal Years and (ii) unaudited draft statements of income and
cash flow and balance sheets for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis as of March 31, 1997 and for the six months then ended and
such financial statements fairly present the financial condition and results of
operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the periods indicated
therein, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
consistently applied (subject to normal year-end adjustment).

6.5 Collateral. Except for the Permitted Liens, all of
the Collateral is and will continue to be owned by the Borrower free and clear
of all Liens. From and after the making of the first advance under the
Revolving Loan and after the making of all necessary filings, the provisions of
Article 5 of this Agreement will be effective to create and will give the
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as security for the repayment of the
Obligations, a legal, valid, perfected and enforceable Lien (which priority is
subject only to Permitted Liens) upon all right, title and interest of the
Borrower in any and all of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the
Lien in the items and amounts deposited in the Blocked Accounts). Upon the
acknowledgment of the Agents' security interest in the Blocked Accounts by the
banks or other financial institutions at which such Blocked Accounts are
maintained, this Agreement will be effective to create and will give the Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, as security for the repayment of the
Obligations, a legal, valid, perfected and enforceable first priority Lien on
all deposits or other items in the Blocked Accounts.

has filed complete and correct federal, state and local tax reports and returns
required to be filed by it, prepared in accordance with applicable laws or
regulations, and, except for extensions duly obtained, has either duly paid all
Charges owed by it, or made adequate provision for the payment thereof. There
are no material unresolved questions or claims concerning any tax liability of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary except those for which the validity, amount or
imposition of such Charges are being contested in good faith by an appropriate
proceeding promptly initiated and diligently conducted and as to which (i) such
proceeding will prevent the forfeiture or sale of any Property of the Borrower
or such Subsidiary and no Lien which will have priority over the Agent's Liens
granted hereunder with respect to the Collateral is filed of record, (ii)
adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles and (iii) such proceeding could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No tax Liens have been filed and no
claims are being asserted with respect to any such Charges which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges,
accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and each Subsidiary are
adequate for all open years and for the current Fiscal Year. Except as
disclosed in writing to the Agent, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has
consented to any extension of, or otherwise waived, any statute of limitation
with respect to any such Charges. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a
party to any tax indemnity, tax sharing or tax allocation agreement with any

nor any Subsidiary has any Indebtedness other than Indebtedness reflected on

referred to above, and Liabilities reflected on the Financial Statements
attached as Exhibit 6.4-1, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any
Liabilities required to be reflected on a balance sheet prepared in accordance
with GAAP.

6.11 Use of Proceeds and Margin Security. The Borrower
shall use the proceeds of the initial advance under the Revolving Loan to repay
existing Indebtedness and for the working capital requirements of the Borrower
and shall use the proceeds of subsequent advances under the Revolving Loan
solely for proper business purposes, consistent with all applicable laws,
statutes,

rules and regulations. The Borrower does not own any margin security and none
of the proceeds of the Revolving Loan advanced or funded hereunder will be used
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin securities or for the
purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred
to purchase any margin securities or for any other purpose not permitted by
Regulation G or U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

contemplated by the Financing Agreements.

any Environmental Law or the imposition of liability on the Borrower or any
Subsidiary under any Environmental Law or any laws or regulations relating to
Hazardous Material, treatment, storage, disposal, generation and
transportation, air, water and noise pollution, soil or ground or water
contamination, the handling, storage or release into the environment of
Hazardous Materials, and the transportation of Hazardous Materials; or with
respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of the presence on or under, or
the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from,
properties utilized, owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in the
conduct of its business into or upon any land, the atmosphere, or any
watercourse, body of water or wetland, of any Hazardous Material (including,
without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses
or claims asserted or arising under the Environmental Laws); provided that to
the extent that the Borrower or any Subsidiary is strictly liable under any
Environmental Laws, the Borrower's obligations to indemnify the Agent and each
Lender under this subsection 6.25(g) shall likewise be without regard to fault
on the part of Borrower or any Subsidiary and with respect to the violation of
law which results in liability to the Borrower or any Subsidiary. To the
extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in
this subsection 6.25(g) may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law
or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is
permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all indemnifications set forth in this subsection 6.25(g).

(h) So long as any Obligations are outstanding,
if the Agent, at any time, has a reasonable basis to believe that any real
property leased or otherwise used by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, has or may
become contaminated or subject to a clean up order or decree by an agency
having jurisdiction over the Borrower or such Subsidiary; then the Borrower
agrees, upon

request from the Agent, to provide the Agent with such reports, certificates,
engineering studies or other written material or data as the Agent, in its
reasonable discretion, may require from them so as to satisfy the Agent that
the Borrower is in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.

6.26 Full Disclosure. The documents listed on Exhibit
6.26, at the time they were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"), (a) complied as to form in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and (b) did not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading.

6.27 Insurance Policies. Exhibit 7.5 lists all
insurance of any nature maintained for current occurrences by the Borrower as
of the Closing Date, as well as a summary of the terms of such insurance.

6.28 Customer and Trade Relations. There exists no
actual or threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of, or any
modification or change in (a) the business relationship of the Borrower with
any customer or group of customers whose purchases individually or in the
aggregate are material to the operations of the Borrower, or (b) the business
relationship of the Borrower with any material supplier to the Borrower which,
in either case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.29 Corporate and Contractual Restrictions. The
Borrower has not agreed nor consented to cause or permit in the future upon the
happening of a contingency or otherwise any of its Property, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien that is not a Permitted Lien.
The Borrower is not a party to or bound by any indenture, contract, instrument,
charter or other corporate restriction or other agreement which prohibits the
creation, incurrence or sufferance to exist of any Lien upon its Property
except the Financing Agreements.

6.30 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, except as
set forth on Exhibit 6.30, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries.

6.31 Deposit and Disbursement Accounts. As of the
Closing Date, Exhibit 6.31 lists all banks and other financial institutions at
which the Borrower maintains deposits and/or other accounts, including any
disbursement accounts, and such Exhibit correctly identifies the name, address
and telephone number of each depository, the name in which the account is held,
a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number.

period, setting forth in each case, in comparative form, figures for the

in the same manner as the Projections attached as Exhibit 6.4-3, including

projected cash flow statements (including proposed Capital Expenditures and
forecasted unused Borrowing Availability under the Revolving Loan) for the
forthcoming Fiscal Year, month-by-month; projected profit and loss statements
for the forthcoming Fiscal Year, month-by-month, together with appropriate
supporting details as requested by the Agent, all for the Borrower and its

Subsidiaries to the public concerning material adverse changes or developments
in the business of any such Person; and (vi) with reasonable promptness, such
other business or financial data as the Required Lenders may

reasonably request.

All financial statements delivered to the Agent or any Lender
pursuant to the requirements of this subsection (except where otherwise
expressly indicated) shall be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles consistently applied on a consolidated basis for the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries. All financial computations hereunder shall be
computed, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, in accordance with
GAAP consistently applied. That certain items or computations are explicitly
modified by the phrase "in accordance with GAAP" shall in no way be construed
to limit the foregoing. In the event that any Accounting Changes occur and
such changes result in a change in the calculation of the financial covenants,
standards, advance rates or terms used in this Agreement or any other Financing
Agreement, then the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders agree to enter into
negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to
equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the
criteria for evaluating Borrower's financial condition shall be the same after
such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made;
provided that the agreement of the Required Lenders to any required amendments
of such provisions shall be sufficient to bind all Lenders. In the event that
the Agent, the Borrower and the Required Lenders shall have agreed upon the
required amendments, then after such agreement has been evidenced in writing
and the underlying Accounting Changes with respect thereto has been
implemented, any reference to GAAP contained in this Agreement or in any other
Financing Agreement shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Changes, refer
to GAAP, consistently applied after giving effect to the implementation of such
Accounting Changes. If the Agent, the Borrower and the Required Lenders cannot
agree upon the required amendments within thirty (30) days following the date
of implementation of any Accounting Change, then all financial statements
delivered and all calculations of financial covenants and other standards,
advance rates and terms in accordance with this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements shall be prepared, delivered and made without regard to
any underlying Accounting Change. Together with each delivery of financial
statements required by subsections 7.1(i), 7.1(ii) and 7.1(iii), the Borrower
shall deliver to the Agent and the Lenders a certificate of the chief financial
officer or treasurer of the Borrower certifying that no Default or Event of
Default exists, or, if any Default or Event of Default exists, specifying the
nature thereof, the period of existence thereof and what action the Borrower
proposes to take with respect thereto. Together with each delivery of
financial statements required by subsections 7.1(ii) and 7.1(iii), the Borrower
shall deliver to the Agent and the Lenders a certificate of the chief financial
officer or treasurer of the Borrower setting forth computations in reasonable
detail satisfactory to the Agent demonstrating compliance with the covenants
contained in subsections 7.11 through 7.13 and (with respect to subsection
7.1(iii) only) subsection 8.8. Together with each delivery of financial
statements required by subsection 7.1(iii), the Borrower shall deliver to the
Agent and the Lenders a certificate of the accountants who performed the audit
in connection with such statements stating that in making the audit necessary
to the issuance of a report on such financial statements, they have obtained no
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or, if such accountants have
obtained knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, specifying the nature and
period of existence thereof. Such accountants shall not be liable by reason of
any failure to obtain knowledge of any Default or Event of Default which would
not be disclosed in the ordinary course of an audit. The Agent and each Lender
agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts the
Agent or such Lender applies to maintaining the confidentiality of its own
confidential information) to maintain

such information, and all information acquired as a result of any inspection
conducted in accordance with subsection 7.2, confidential; provided that the
Agent or any Lender may communicate such information (a) to any other Person in
accordance with the customary practices of commercial lenders relating to
routine trade inquiries; provided that no such Person shall be entitled to
receive any information contained in the Projections, (b) to any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the Agent or such Lender (who will be
requested by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, to maintain
confidentiality as if it were a Lender under this Agreement), (c) to any other
Person in connection with the Agent's or such Lender's proposed or actual
assignment or sale of any participation in the Obligations (who will in turn be
required to maintain confidentiality as if it were a Lender under this
Agreement), or (d) to any other Persons in connection with the exercise of the
Agent's or such Lender's rights hereunder or under any of the other Financing
Agreements (who in turn will be required to maintain confidentiality as if they
were Lenders under this Agreement). The Borrower authorizes the Agent and each
Lender to discuss the financial condition of the Borrower with the Borrower's
independent public accountants and agrees that such discussion or communication
shall be without liability to either the Agent or such independent public
accountants. The Borrower shall deliver a letter addressed to such accountants
authorizing them to comply with the provisions of this subsection 7.1.

7.2 Inspections and Audits. The Agent, or any Person
designated by the Agent in writing, shall have the right, from time to time
hereafter, to call at the Borrower's place or places of business (or any other
place where the Collateral or any information relating thereto is kept or
located) during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written or
telephonic notice of any of the Agent's officers, employees or agents; provided
that no prior notice shall be required upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, and without unreasonable hindrance or delay
(i) to inspect, audit, check and make copies of and extracts from the
Borrower's books, records, journals, orders, receipts and any correspondence
and other data relating to the Borrower's or any Subsidiary's business or to
any transactions between the parties hereto, (ii) to make such verification
concerning the Collateral as the Agent may consider reasonable under the
circumstances, and (iii) to discuss the affairs, finances and business of the
Borrower with any officers, employees or directors of the Borrower. All
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the
Agent's field audits permitted under this subsection 7.2 shall be reimbursed by
the Borrower in accordance with subsection 2.8.

7.3 Conduct of Business; Compliance With Laws. The
Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to (i) subject to subsection
8.3, maintain its corporate existence and good standing in its respective state
of incorporation and qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, (ii) maintain in
full force and effect all licenses, bonds, franchises, leases, patents,
contracts and other rights necessary or desirable to the profitable conduct of
its business, where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (iii) comply with all applicable federal, state, local
and foreign laws, rules, regulations and orders of any federal, state or local
Governmental Authority, except for such laws, rules and regulations the
violation of which, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) continue to conduct its business
substantially as now conducted or as otherwise permitted herein.

7.4 Claims and Charges. (a) The Borrower shall, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax and information returns
and reports required by and prepared in accordance with applicable law and shall
pay or cause to be paid all license fees, bonding premiums and related charges,
and shall pay or cause to be paid all Charges assessed against or payable by,
the Borrower or such Subsidiary, at such times and in such manner as to prevent
any penalty from accruing or any Lien from attaching to Property of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary; provided that the Borrower and such Subsidiary
shall have the right to contest in good faith, by an appropriate lawful
proceeding promptly initiated and diligently conducted, the validity, amount or
imposition of any such Charge, and upon such good faith contest to delay or
refuse payment thereof so long as (i) no Lien which will have priority over the
Agent's Lien granted hereunder with respect to any Collateral is filed or
recorded with respect thereto, (ii) the execution or other enforcement of such
subordinate Lien is and continues to be effectively stayed, (iii) such
proceeding will prevent the forfeiture or sale of any Property of the Borrower
or such Subsidiary, (iv) adequate reserves have been provided therefor in
accordance with GAAP, (v) such contest could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect and (vi) if such contest is abandoned or determined
adversely to the Borrower or such Subsidiary, such Person pays, or causes to be
paid, all such Charges and any penalties and interest payable in connection
therewith.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Agent and each Lender
promptly (and in no event later than ten (10) days) after becoming aware of the
intent of the Service to assert a deficiency with respect to the Borrower or
any Subsidiary, and shall promptly (and in no event later than five (5) days
after receipt) send the Agent and each Lender copies of any notices of proposed
deficiency and any notices of deficiency received from the Service.

7.5 Borrower's Liability Insurance. The Borrower
shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, maintain, at its expense, such
product liability insurance, general public liability and third party property
damage insurance with financially sound and reputable insurance companies in
such amounts and covering such risks and with such deductibles as are
consistent with sound business practices and customary for other Persons
engaged in the same or similar business, naming the Agent as an additional
insured. The policy or policies shall further provide for thirty (30) days'
written notice to the Agent prior to cancellation or any material change in
coverage. The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of insurance
and, upon renewal thereof, a binder evidencing such renewal, and evidence of
payment of all premiums therefor. The Borrower's current liability insurance
policies are summarized on Exhibit 7.5.

7.6 Borrower's Property Insurance. The Borrower shall,
and shall cause each Subsidiary to, at its expense, keep and maintain its
assets insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, spoilage and
all other hazards and risks ordinarily insured against by other owners or users
of such properties in similar businesses in an amount at least equal to the
full insurable value thereof (including at least six (6) months business
interruption insurance in an amount of not less than $10 million. All such
policies of insurance shall contain a breach or violation of warranties,
declarations or conditions endorsement in favor of the Agent, shall provide
that the Agent shall receive 30 days' written notice prior to cancellation or
any material change in coverage and shall otherwise be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent. The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a
certificate of insurance and, upon the renewal thereof, a binder evidencing
such

renewal, and evidence of payment of all premiums therefor. Such policies
of insurance shall contain an endorsement, substantially in the form of Exhibit
7.6, naming the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as the lender loss payee and
additional insured. The Borrower hereby directs all insurers under such
policies of insurance to pay all proceeds of such insurance policies directly
to the Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Borrower irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent
(and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Agent) as the
Borrower's true and lawful attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making, settling
and adjusting claims under all such policies of insurance, endorsing the name
of the Borrower on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment
received by the Borrower or the Agent pursuant to any such policies of
insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such
policies of insurance. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary, at any time or times
hereafter, shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance
required above or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then
the Agent, without waiving or releasing any Obligation, Default or Event of
Default by the Borrower hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but
shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain and maintain such policies of
insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto
which the Agent deems advisable.

statement describing such transaction and the action
or response taken with respect thereto; and

(3) any other report such as an annual report on Form
5500 or actuarial report which any Lender may request
from time to time.

7.8 Notice of Certain Matters. The Borrower shall, as
soon as possible, and in any event within five (5) days after any Responsible
Officer learns of the following, give written notice to the Agent and each
Lender of (i) any material Litigation being instituted or threatened to be

local or foreign court or before any commission or other regulatory body
(federal, state, local or foreign) including, without limitation, any and all
pending or threatened proceedings with respect to Environmental Matters, (ii)
any labor dispute to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary may become a party
and which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

bound or any organizing activity pending or threatened by any labor union

or group of employees, (iii) any Default or Event of Default, (iv) any judgment
rendered against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, and (v) any other event or

shall provide the Agent and each Lender with copies of all agreements between
the Borrower and any landlord, bailee, warehouseman or processor which owns any
premises at which Inventory or any other Collateral may, from time to time, be
located. The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent on or before the Closing Date
a landlord's waiver in form and substance acceptable to the Agent from the
lessor of each leased property currently being used by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary where Collateral is located. The Borrower shall deliver to the
Agent a bailee letter in form and substance acceptable to the Agent with
respect to any warehouse or other processor location where Collateral is
located. With respect to leased locations or warehouse space leased on the
Closing Date, if the Borrower is unable to deliver such a landlord waiver or
bailee letter the Inventory at that location shall automatically be deemed
ineligible without further action by the Agent or any Lender. In the event
that the Borrower delivers to the Agent such landlord waiver or bailee letter,
as applicable, after such date, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement including, without limitation, subsection 3.10, Inventory located at
such leased location or other location, as applicable, may be considered
Eligible Inventory. The Borrower shall timely and fully pay and perform its
obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each leased
location or warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located. The Borrower
shall promptly deliver to the Agent copies of (i) any and all default notices
received by it under or with respect to any of its leased location or
warehouse, and (ii) such other notices or documents as the Agent may request in
its reasonable discretion.

hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and the officers, directors, employees,
agents, affiliates, representatives and attorneys of the Agent and such Lender
(collectively called the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, proceedings,
judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses and disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened,
whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or instituted or asserted against any Indemnitee in
any manner in connection with or relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or the other Financing Agreements, or any other transaction contemplated hereby
or thereby, the statements contained in the commitment letters delivered by the
Agent, the Agent and the Lenders' agreement to make the Revolving Loan
hereunder, the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the
proceeds of the Revolving Loan or the exercise of any right, power or remedy
hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement (the "Indemnified
Liabilities"); provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation to an
Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that
a court of competent jurisdiction shall render a judgment, final and not
subject to review on appeal, that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee. To the extent that
the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding
sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public
policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted
to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the

69
77

payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the
Indemnitees or any of them.

(b) In any suit, proceeding or action brought against any
Person by the Agent relating to any Account, Chattel Paper, contract, General
Intangible, Instrument or Document for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce
any provision of any Account, Chattel Paper, Instrument or Document, the
Borrower shall save, indemnify and keep the Agent and the Lenders harmless from
and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense,
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability by such Person of
any obligation thereunder arising out of a breach by such Person of any
obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or
liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors
from such Person. All such obligations of such Person shall be and remain
enforceable against, and only against, the Borrower and shall not be
enforceable against the Agent or any Lender.

Subsidiaries shall maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio (a) as of September 30,
1997, of not less than (80.5) to 1.0, and (b) as of the end of each Fiscal

month period then ended, of not less than 1.5 to 1.0.

7.12 Minimum Availability. The Borrower shall at all
times maintain a Minimum Availability of not less than the lesser of (i)
$4,000,000 or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Borrowing Base as set forth on

the chief financial officer of the Borrower certifying that the Tangible Net
Worth for such Fiscal Quarter was equal to or greater than one hundred twenty

the date of delivery of financial statements for the next Fiscal Quarter
required pursuant to subsection 7.1(ii).

disposition to the Agent, which proceeds shall be applied to the Revolving Loan
Obligations; provided that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, if at the time of application of such proceeds LIBOR Loans

or acquire any of its capital Stock of any description for consideration or
otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may call for redemption
of any convertible stock of the Borrower so long as (a) the value of the common
stock issuable on conversion of such convertible securities equals or exceeds,
at the time of such call, at least 115% of the redemption price of such
convertible securities, and (b) the Borrower makes arrangements reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent with an investment banking firm reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent, whereby such firm agrees to purchase shares of common
stock for an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price of any convertible
securities called for redemption that are not converted prior to such
redemption.

8.13 Changes in Charter, Bylaws or Fiscal Year. The

any service to or from any Affiliate (other than transactions among the Borrower

8.16 Other Business. The Borrower shall not, nor shall
it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) engage in any business unrelated to
its current businesses, (ii) except as otherwise permitted herein, engage in any
transaction out of the ordinary course of business, or (iii) engage in any other
transaction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

9. DEFAULT, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE AGENT AND THE
LENDERS.

9.1 Obligations. If a Default or an Event of Default

the Required Lenders) may elect to do one or more of the following at any time
or times and in any order: (i) reduce the Total Revolving Loan Facility, (ii)
restrict the amount of, or suspend its obligations to make, Revolving Loans,
(iii) restrict or suspend the issuance of Lender Guaranties or (iv) demand that
the Borrower immediately deposit with the Agent an amount equal to one hundred
five percent (105%) of the Lender Guaranty Liabilities to enable the Agent to
make payments under the Lender Guaranties when required and such amount shall
become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default shall exist or
occur, in addition to the actions described in the preceding sentence, the
Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may
elect to do one or more of the following at any time or times: (a) terminate
the Commitments to make the Revolving Loan and this Agreement, (b) declare any
or all Obligations to be immediately due and payable; provided that upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default referred to in clauses (f), (g) or (h)
within the definition of "Event of Default," the Commitments shall
automatically and immediately terminate and all Obligations shall automatically
become immediately due and payable without notice, demand or other actions of
any kind by any Person, or (c) pursue its other rights and remedies under the
Financing Agreements and applicable law. In the case of any Event of Default
occurring by reason of any willful action or inaction by or on behalf of the
Borrower in order to avoid payment of the termination fee pursuant to subsection
2.10 which the Borrower would have to pay if the Obligations were paid in full,
an equivalent fee shall also be immediately due and payable to the extent
permitted by law.

9.2 Rights and Remedies Generally. Upon acceleration of
the Obligations, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have, in addition
to any other rights and remedies contained in this Agreement or in any of the
other Financing Agreements, all of the rights and remedies of a

secured party under the Code or other applicable laws, all of which rights and
remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive, to the extent permitted by law.
Any sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, by
the Agent after an Event of Default may be for cash, credit or any combination
thereof, and the Agent or any Lender may purchase all or any part of the
Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, and in lieu of
actual payment of such purchase price, may set-off the amount of such purchase
price against the Obligations then owing. Any sales of the Collateral may be
adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The Agent shall have the
right to conduct such sales on the Borrower's premises, at the Borrower's
expense, or elsewhere, on such occasion or occasions as the Agent may see fit.

9.3 Entry Upon Premises and Access to Information. Upon
acceleration of the Obligations, the Agent shall have the right (i) to cause
the Collateral to remain on the Borrower's premises, without any obligation to
pay rent, (ii) to enter upon the premises of the Borrower where the Collateral
is located or any other place or places where the Collateral is believed to be
located and kept, without any obligation to pay rent, to render the Collateral
useable or saleable, or to remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of
the Agent or any agent of the Agent, at the Borrower's expense, for such time
as the Agent may desire in order effectively to collect or liquidate the
Collateral, and (iii) to require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral and
make it available to the Agent at a place or places to be designated by the
Agent. Upon acceleration of the Obligations, the Agent shall have the right to
obtain access to the Borrower's original books and records and to take
possession of copies thereof, to obtain access to Borrower's data processing
equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and to use
all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner the
Agent deems appropriate; and the Agent shall have the right to receive and open
all mail addressed to the Borrower and to take possession of all checks or
other original remittances contained in such mail.

9.4 Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral by the Agent.
Any notice required to be given by the Agent of a sale, lease or other
disposition or other intended action by the Agent with respect to any of the
Collateral which is given to the Borrower as specified in subsection 10.12, at
least ten (10) days prior to such proposed action, shall constitute fair and
reasonable notice to the Borrower of any such action. The net proceeds realized
by the Agent upon any such sale or other disposition, after deduction for the
expenses of retaking, holding, storing, transporting, preparing for sale,
selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral incurred by the Agent in
connection therewith, shall be applied as provided herein toward satisfaction of
the Obligations. The Agent shall account to the Borrower for any surplus
realized upon such sale or other disposition, and the Borrower shall remain
liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable,
or the rendering of any judgment or decree for any deficiency shall not affect
the Agent's Liens on the Collateral until the Obligations are fully paid.

9.5 Grant of License. For the purpose of enabling the
Agent to exercise its rights, powers and remedies under this Section 9
(including, without limitation, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve,
process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose
of the Collateral) at such time as the Agent shall be entitled to exercise such
rights and remedies, the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent a license, lease
and right to use (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation)
the Borrower's General Intangibles, Intellectual Property,

Equipment, Fixtures, Real Estate, whether part of the Collateral or not
including, without limitation, any patents, copyrights, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks and advertising
matter, or any other Property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the
Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale or lease and
selling or leasing any Inventory or other Collateral and the Borrower's rights
under all licenses, leases and franchise agreements shall inure to the Agent's
benefit until all Obligations are paid in full.

9.6 Waiver of Demand. EXCEPT FOR DEMANDS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS, DEMAND,
PRESENTMENT, PROTEST AND NOTICE OF DEMAND, PRESENTMENT, PROTEST, NONPAYMENT,
INTENT TO ACCELERATE AND ACCELERATION ARE HEREBY WAIVED BY THE BORROWER. THE
BORROWER ALSO WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF ALL VALUATION, APPRAISAL AND EXEMPTION
LAWS.

9.7 Waiver of Notice. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION
9.4, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT OR AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE BORROWER
HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING OF ANY KIND PRIOR TO THE
EXERCISE BY THE AGENT OF ITS RIGHTS TO REPOSSESS THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT
JUDICIAL PROCESS OR TO REPLEVY, ATTACH OR LEVY UPON THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT
PRIOR NOTICE OR HEARING. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED
BY COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO THIS TRANSACTION AND THIS AGREEMENT.

10. OTHER RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

10.1 Waiver. The failure of the Agent or any Lender, at
any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by the Borrower of
any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right
of the any such Person thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance
therewith. Any suspension or waiver by the Lenders or Required Lenders, as
applicable, of a Default or an Event of Default under this Agreement or any of
the other Financing Agreements shall not suspend, waive or affect any other
Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other Financing
Agreements, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the
same or of a different kind or character. None of the undertakings,
agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower contained
in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and no Default or
Event of Default by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other
Financing Agreements shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by the
Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, unless such suspension or waiver is
in writing and signed by an officer of each of the Lenders or Required Lenders,
as applicable, and directed to the Borrower specifying such suspension or
waiver. Neither this Agreement nor the other Financing Agreements may be
modified or amended except in a written agreement signed by the Borrower, the
Agent and the Lenders.

10.2 Several Obligations; Nature of Lender's Rights.
The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint
and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other Lender (except to the
extent to which the Agent is authorized to act as such). No provision

contained herein or in any other Financing Agreement and no course of dealing
between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary relationship
between the Agent or any Lender and the Borrower. The Indebtedness of the
Borrower incurred under each of the Notes shall be a separate obligation owing
to the holder thereof; provided that each Lender hereby agrees that it shall
have no individual right to seek to enforce its rights under its Note or this
Agreement, or to realize upon the Collateral, it being understood and agreed
that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders at the direction of the Required Lenders in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

10.3 Expenditures by the Agent and the Lenders. In the
event the Borrower shall fail to pay Charges, insurance, assessments, costs or
expenses which the Borrower is, under any of the terms hereof, required to pay,
or shall fail to keep the Collateral free from Liens, except Permitted Liens, or
shall fail to maintain, replace or repair the Collateral as required hereby, the
Agent may, in its sole discretion, make expenditures for any or all of such
purposes and acquire or accept an assignment of any Lien against the Collateral,
and the amount so expended (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses, court costs, filing fees and other charges), together with
interest thereon at the Base Rate or the Default Rate then applicable to the
Revolving Loan shall be part of the Obligations, payable on demand and secured
by the Collateral.

10.4 Custody and Preservation of Collateral. Except as
expressly provided in the Code, the Agent shall have no duty with respect to
any Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of
any agent or bailee) or with respect to any income thereon. The Agent shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any
of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as
the Borrower shall request in writing, but failure by the Agent to comply with
any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable
care, and no failure by the Agent to preserve or protect any right with respect
to such Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the
preservation of such Collateral not so requested by the Borrower, shall of
itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or
preservation of such Collateral. The Agent shall not be liable or responsible
for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the
value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier,
forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Agent in
good faith.

10.5 Reliance by the Agent and Lenders. All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made herein or in any of the other
Financing Agreements by the Borrower shall, notwithstanding any investigation
by the Agent or any Lender, be deemed to have been relied upon by the Agent and
each Lender.

10.6 Parties and Assignment. This Agreement and the
other Financing Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower and, subject to the terms hereof, their
respective successors and assigns. The Borrower's successors and assigns shall
include, without limitation, any trustee, receiver or debtor in possession of or
for the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not sell,
assign or transfer this Agreement, or the other Financing Agreements or any
portion thereof including, without limitation, its rights, titles,

interests, remedies, powers and/or duties hereunder or thereunder. The Lenders
may assign, or sell participations in, the Revolving Loan and the Commitments as
provided in subsections 11.1 and 11.2, respectively.

10.7 Applicable Law; Severability. This Agreement and the
other Financing Agreements have been submitted to the Agent and SBCC at its
office in Illinois, and this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, and
shall be construed in all respects in accordance with, and governed by, all of
the provisions of the Code and by the other internal laws (as opposed to
conflicts of law provisions) of the State of Illinois, except for the
perfection and enforcement of Liens in other jurisdictions which shall be
governed by the laws of those jurisdictions. Whenever possible, each provision
of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.

10.8 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury and Bond.
THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF ▇▇▇▇,

WRITING TO SO SERVE AS THEIR AGENT TO RECEIVE ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ALL
PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, SUCH SERVICE BEING HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE BORROWER TO BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY
RESPECT. A COPY OF ANY SUCH PROCESS SO SERVED SHALL BE MAILED BY REGISTERED
MAIL TO THE BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION 10.12, EXCEPT THAT
UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY FAILURE TO MAIL SUCH COPY
SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SERVICES OF PROCESS. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED
BY THE BORROWER REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE, THE BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT
SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL OR OTHERWISE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBSECTION 10.12 SHALL
CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT NOTICE. THE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND THE BORROWER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TIME AND EXPENSE REQUIRED FOR TRIAL BY JURY

EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY
UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF THE AGENT OR ANY

OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO

herein prescribed; provided, however, that with respect to any notice served,

the business hours of the intended recipient, such notice shall be deemed
served, given or delivered on the following business day.

10.13 Retention of the Borrower's Documents. The Agent or
any Lender may destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules,
invoices or other papers delivered to such Person in accordance with its
customary practices unless the Borrower requests in writing that same be
returned. Upon the Borrower's request and at the Borrower's expense, such
Person shall return such papers when such Person's actual or anticipated need
for same has terminated.

10.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all
Exhibits, Schedules and other documents attached hereto or incorporated by
reference herein, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other negotiations,
understandings and representations, oral or written, with respect to the subject
matter hereof, including, without limitation, that certain Commitment Letter
dated as of January 17, 1997 between the Borrower and SBCC.

10.15 Equitable Relief. The Borrower recognizes that, in
the event the Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its
Obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate
relief to the Agent or any Lender; therefore, the Borrower agrees

that the Agent or any Lender, if such Person so requests, shall be entitled to
temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity
of proving actual damages.

10.16 Survival of Warranties. All representations and
warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other
Financing Agreements shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the other Financing Agreements and the making of the Revolving Loan.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
provisions of, and the undertakings, indemnifications and agreements of the
Borrower set forth in subsections 2.1(c)(vi), 2.12, 2.16(b), 2.17, 2.20(c),
6.25(g), 7.10 and 10.20 and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in
subsections 12.8 and 14.2 shall survive payment of the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement. The Borrower shall supplement in writing each
Exhibit or any representation herein with respect to any matter hereafter
arising which, if existing or occurring on the Closing Date, would have been
required to be set forth or described on such Exhibit or as an exception to
such representation so that the representations and warranties subject to such
supplemental disclosure shall continue to be true and accurate in all material
respects; provided that the furnishing of such supplemental disclosure shall
not constitute a cure or waiver of any Default or Event of Default resulting
from the matters disclosed therein, except as consented to by the Required
Lenders in writing; provided further that no supplementation shall be required
as to representations that relate solely to the Closing Date.

10.17 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments,
waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

10.18 Exceptions to Covenants. The Borrower shall not
be deemed to be permitted to take any action or omit to take any action which is
permitted as an exception to any of the terms, provisions or covenants contained
in any of the Financing Agreements if such action or omission would result in a
Default or Event of Default or the breach of any term, provision or covenant
contained in any Financing Agreement.

10.19 Construction. The Borrower acknowledges that
it and its counsel have approved the Financing Agreements and that the usual
rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities or inconsistencies are
to be resolved against the drafting Person shall not be applicable in the
interpretation of any of the Financing Agreements.

10.20 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect and continue to be effective or to be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any
part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or
must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations,
whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all
as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

11. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

11.1 Assignments. Each Lender may, in the ordinary
course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, assign all or any
part of its rights and obligations under the Financing Agreements (including,
without limitation, all or any part of its Commitment, the Revolving Loan owing
to it and the Note held by it); provided that (i) except in the case of an
assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender
or an affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, the amount of any assignment shall in no event
be less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000 if in
excess thereof, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee,
(iii) the written consent of the Agent shall be required prior to an assignment
becoming effective with respect to an assignee that is not, immediately prior to
such assignment, a Lender or an affiliate thereof and (iv) the parties to each
such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment. Upon such
execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified
in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall,
to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto).

11.2 Participations. Each Lender shall have the right to
sell or assign to a Participant or Participants participating interests in the
Obligations hereunder in such amounts as such Lender shall determine; provided
that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, its Commitment) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such
Revolving Loan Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the
Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and (v) no Participant under any such participation shall become a
"Lender" or, except as specifically provided herein, have any rights of a
"Lender" under this Agreement, or shall have any right to approve any amendment
or waiver of any provision of any Financing Agreement, or any consent to any
departure therefrom, except to the extent that any such amendment, waiver or
consent would (a) extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (b) reduce the
principal amount of the Notes, or reduce or extend the time of payment of
interest or fees thereon, (c) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral or (d) permit any assignment by the Borrower of the Obligations or
its rights under this Agreement.

12. AGENT.

12.1 Appointment. SBCC is hereby appointed Agent
hereunder and under each other Financing Agreements, and each of the Lenders
authorizes the Agent to act as the Agent of

such Lender. The Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions
contained in this Section 12. The Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship
in respect of the Borrower or any Lender by reason of this Agreement.

12.2 Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such
powers under the Financing Agreements as are specifically delegated to the
Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or
any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder, except any action
specifically provided by the Financing Agreements to be taken by the Agent.

12.3 General Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, Agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower or any
Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or
under any other Financing Agreements or in connection herewith or therewith
except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a final order, not subject to review, of a court of competent
jurisdiction.

12.4 No Responsibility for Revolving Loan, Recitals, etc.
Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, Agents or employees shall
be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a)
any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Financing
Agreements or any borrowing hereunder, (b) the performance or observance of any
of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Financing Agreements,
(c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 4, except receipt of
items required to be delivered to the Agent and not waived at closing, or (d)
the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Financing Agreements or any
other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith.

12.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall
in all cases be fully protected from liability to any Lender for acting or
refraining from acting hereunder and under any other Financing Agreements in
accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or, to the
extent required by Section 13, all Lenders), and such instructions and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the
Lenders and on all holders of Notes. The Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Financing
Agreements with respect to the Lenders unless it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by the Lenders pro-rata against any and all liability, cost
and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action.

12.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may
execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Financing
Agreements by or through employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not
be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it
or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency
hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Financing
Agreements.

12.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit,
letter, telegram, statement, paper or document

reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the
opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be employees of the
Agent.

12.8 Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. The
Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to
their respective Commitments (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower
for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the
Financing Agreements, (b) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on
behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration and enforcement of the Financing Agreements, and (c) for any
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of the Financing Agreements or any other document
delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or
the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent
they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as
determined by a final order, not subject to appeal, of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection 12.8 shall
survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

12.9 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Agent is a
Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any
other Financing Agreements as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, at any time when
the Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the
Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent may accept deposits from, lend
money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other
transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other
Financing Agreements, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the
Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any
other Person.

12.10 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other
Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other
Financing Agreements. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

12.11 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any
such resignation, (i) the Borrower shall have the rights set forth in subsection
2.10(b) and (ii) the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf
of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty days after the retiring Agent's giving notice of
resignation or within thirty days after the removal of such Agent, then the
retiring Agent shall use reasonable efforts to appoint, on behalf of the
Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Such successor Agent shall be a
financial institution having

capital and retained earnings of at least One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars
($150,000,000). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent,
and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements. After any retiring Agent's
resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12
shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under
the other Financing Agreements.

12.12 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder unless the Agent has received 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 Agent
receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the
Lenders. Subject to the provisions of subsection 12.5, the Agent shall take
any action of the type specified in this Agreement with respect to such Default
or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders
(or, if so required by Section 13, by all Lenders); provided that unless and
until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as the Agent shall determine is in
the best interests of the Lenders.

13 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 13, the
Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required
Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the
purpose of adding, terminating or modifying any provisions to the Financing
Agreements or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower
hereunder or waiving any Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided that
no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender:

(a) extend the final maturity of the Revolving Loan or
Revolving Loan Note or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate
or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon;

(b) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders;

(c) reduce the amount or extend the payment date for the
mandatory payments required hereunder, or increase the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder (other than an increase in the
Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender as a result of an assignment
consummated between such Lender and another Lender pursuant to subsection
11.1);

(d) extend the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as
applicable (except as contemplated by subsection 2.8), or permit any Letter of
Credit or Lender Guaranty to have an expiry date beyond the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date;

(e) amend this Section 13;

(f) except as otherwise contemplated herein, release all
or any substantial portion of the Collateral;

(g) permit any assignment by the Borrower of its
Obligations or its rights hereunder; or

(h) amend the definition of the term "Commitment".

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting
the rights or duties of the Agent under any Financing Agreement shall be
effective without the written consent of the Agent.

Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be
required for the Agent to take additional Collateral pursuant to any Financing
Agreement. No notice to or demand on the Borrower not required by the terms
hereof in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification,
termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 13 shall
be binding upon each holder of the Notes at the time outstanding, each future
holder of the Notes and the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Agent may, at its sole discretion, release or compromise Collateral and the
proceeds thereof to the extent of asset dispositions permitted by the terms
hereof.

14. SET OFF AND SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

14.1 Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time,
with notice thereafter as soon as reasonably practicable to the Borrower or to
any other Person (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly
waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (a) balances
(including, without limitation, all account balances, whether provisional or
final and whether or not collected or available) held or owing by such Lender
at any of its offices to or for the credit or account of the Borrower
(regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower) and (b)
other property held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account
of the Borrower, toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender,
whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.

14.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff
or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its portion of the Revolving Loan
(other than payments received pursuant to subsections 2.17(b), 2.19 and
2.20(c)) in a greater proportion than its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving
Loans, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the

Revolving Loan held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each
Lender will hold its ratable proportion of the Revolving Loan. If any Lender,
whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff
or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or
such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon
demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the
benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Pro Rata Share of
the Revolving Loan. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or
otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made. If an amount to be
setoff is to be applied to Indebtedness of the Borrower to a Lender, other than
Indebtedness evidenced by any of the Notes held by such Lender, such amount
shall be applied ratably to such other Indebtedness and to the Indebtedness
evidenced by such Notes. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, that (x) any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to
amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell
participation in such excess to other Lenders, and (y) any Lender so purchasing
a participation in the Revolving Loan made or other Obligations held by other
Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers' lien, counterclaim or
similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were a direct holder of the Revolving Loan and other Obligations in the amount
of such participation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed as of the
day and year first above written.
