calculated for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such
last day as if such unsecured and subordinated debt were outstanding on such
date is greater than 6.50:1.00, then within ten (10) days after such issuance
the Borrower shall prepay the Loans by an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of

outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Loans have been paid in full,
the Tranche A Commitment Amount and
6
Tranche C Commitment Amount shall be permanently reduced by the unapplied
portion of fifty percent (50%) of such gross proceeds. Any mandatory prepayment
of principal of the Loans required hereunder shall be accompanied by a payment
of all interest accrued to the date of such prepayment. Any mandatory prepayment
of Term Loans hereunder shall not reduce the scheduled repayment installments
required under Section 3.4 hereof. The Tranche A Commitment Amount and the
Tranche C Commitment Amount, respectively, shall be permanently reduced by the
amount of such proceeds applied to repay Tranche A Loans and Tranche C Loans (as
the case may be); provided that, such reduction shall not reduce the scheduled
Tranche A Commitment Amount reductions set forth in Section 2.1.3 above. Each
such mandatory prepayment shall be allocated among the Banks in proportion, as
nearly as practicable, to the respective aggregate amounts outstanding on each
Bank's Notes evidencing the Loan or Loans advanced under the applicable Tranche.
In the event that any Term Loan is required to be prepaid hereunder, all
principal amounts prepaid shall be applied against the scheduled installments of
principal due on such Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity.

ten (10) days after the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, the Borrower shall
prepay the Loans by an amount equal to the difference between the Subordinated
Note Proceeds and $300,000,000 (the "Surplus Proceeds"). The Surplus Proceeds
shall be applied pro rata to prepay outstanding Loans in all Tranches and to the
extent applied to repay Revolving Credit Loans, the Tranche A Commitment Amount
and the Tranche C Commitment Amount (as the case may be) shall be permanently
reduced by the amount of Revolving Credit Loans in such Tranche which were so
repaid. In the event all outstanding Loans have been paid in full, the Tranche A
Commitment Amount and Tranche C Commitment Amount shall be permanently reduced
by the amount of any remaining Surplus Proceeds. Any mandatory prepayment of
principal of the Loans required hereunder shall be accompanied by a payment of
all interest accrued to the date of such prepayment. Any mandatory prepayment of
Term Loans hereunder shall not reduce the scheduled repayment installments
required under Section 3.4 hereof. Any reductions in the Tranche A Commitment
Amount shall not reduce the scheduled Tranche A Commitment Amount reductions set
forth in Section 2.1.3. Each such mandatory prepayment shall be allocated among
the Banks in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective aggregate
amounts outstanding on each Bank's Notes evidencing the Loan or Loans advanced
under the applicable Tranche. In the event that any Term Loan is required to be
prepaid hereunder, all principal amounts prepaid shall be applied against the
scheduled installments of principal due on such Term Loan in the inverse order
of maturity."

herein and in the other Loan Documents, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing immediately prior to the incurrence thereof and no
Default or Event of Default will result therefrom, and (iii) the proceeds of
