terms and conditions hereof, the Initial Lender agrees initially and, upon an

assignment of any portion of the Revolving Commitment to one or more Lenders,

all Lenders, including, without limitation, the Initial Lender, severally, agree

obligations arising under the Loan Documents may, at the option of the Borrower,

also be deposited into the Collection Account.

Section 2.03 Prepayments.

prepayments hereunder from time to time upon the delivery of two (2) Business

pursuant to Section 2.03(b) shall be applied pro rata to the then-outstanding

Loans. All amounts (A) required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(b) and (B)

(a) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not

be paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum

which is equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.5%

(the "Default Rate"), or (ii) if any interest payable on the principal amount of

any Loan or any fee or other amount, including the principal amount of any Loan,

payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by

acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate

per annum which is equal to the Default Rate, in each case from the date of such

non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before

judgment). Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any other Event

of Default hereunder, the principal of and, to the fullest extent permitted by

law, interest on the Loans and any other amounts owing hereunder or under the

other Loan Documents shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate

which is (A) in the case of principal, the rate that would otherwise be

imposed under this Section 2.04(a).

-10-

<PAGE>

Section 2.05 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) All fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be

calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The

Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the

Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate on the Business Day of the

determination thereof.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent

pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on

the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The

Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the

Borrower a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent

in determining any interest rate.

(c) It is the intent of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform to and

contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in

effect. All agreements between the Lenders and the Borrower are hereby limited

by the provisions of this paragraph which shall override and control all such

agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or

oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to

prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any Obligation), shall the

interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this

Agreement, under the Revolving Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum

nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any possible

construction of any of the Loan Documents or any other document, interest would

otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such

construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such

interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount

permitted under applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any

amendment or new document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value

which is characterized as interest on the Loans under applicable law and which

would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum nonusurious

amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest

shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount

owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the

Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would

have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Loans. The right

to demand payment of the Loans or any other Indebtedness evidenced by any of the

Loan Documents does not include the right to receive any interest which has not

otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to

charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All

interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans

shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,

allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or

extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on account of such

indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by

applicable law.

Section 2.06 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Allocation of Payments Before Event of Default. Each borrowing of

Loans shall be made pro rata by the Lenders according to the respective

Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment under this

Agreement or any Revolving Note shall be applied, first, to any fees then due

and owing by the Borrower under this Agreement, second, to interest then due and

owing hereunder and under the Revolving Notes and, third, to principal then due

and owing hereunder and under the Revolving Notes. Each payment on account of

any fees shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due

and owing. Each payment (other than prepayments) by the Borrower on account of

principal of and interest on the Loans shall be applied to such Loans in

accordance with the terms of Section 2.06(b) hereof. Except to the extent

provided in Section 2.03, each mandatory prepayment on account of principal of

the Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.06(b). All payments

(including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal,

interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim (except

as provided in Section 2.12(b)) and shall be made to the Administrative Agent

for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent's office specified on

signature page hereto in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later

than 1:00 P.M. on the date when due. The Administrative Agent shall distribute

such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like

funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day

other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding

Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall

be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(b) Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding any

other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the Revolving

Commitments shall have been terminated, and the Loans and all other amounts

under the Loan Documents shall have become due and payable in accordance with

the terms of Section 6.02 hereof, all amounts collected or received by the

Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Borrower's obligations

under the Loan Documents or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan

Documents or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as

follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses

(including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Administrative

Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Loan

Documents and any protective advances made by the Administrative Agent with

respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of the Security

Documents;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses

(including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees) of

each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under the Loan

Documents or otherwise with respect to the obligations of the Borrower owing to

such Lender;

FOURTH, to the payment of all of the obligations of the Borrower under the

Loan Documents consisting of accrued interest;

obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents;

SIXTH, to all other obligations of the Borrower which shall have become

due and payable under the Loan Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to

clauses "FIRST" through "FIFTH" above;

SEVENTH, to the payment of any Obligations of the Borrower then

outstanding in the priorities, if any, set forth in this Agreement until fully

paid and discharged; and

EIGHTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully

entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in

the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next

succeeding category and (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal

to its pro rata share (based on its Revolving Commitment Percentage) of amounts

available to be applied pursuant to clauses "THIRD," "FOURTH," "FIFTH" and

"SIXTH" above.

Section 2.07 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

(a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by

a Lender prior to the date a Loan is to be made by such Lender (which notice

shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make the

proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative

Agent may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the

Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance

upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the

Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact

made available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be

able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does

not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's

demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and

the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the

Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover

from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such

corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding

amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the

date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per

annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the

applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from a Lender

at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by

the Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment is due from it hereunder

(which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that the Borrower does not intend

to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made

such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such

assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each Lender on such

payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which

such Lender is entitled hereunder, and if the Borrower has not in fact made such

payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, repay to the

Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender. If such amount is

repaid to the Administrative Agent on a date after the date such amount was made

available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on

demand interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount

was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such

amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to the

Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(c) A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Borrower or

any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.07 shall be

conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.08 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Notwithstanding any

other provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Administrative Agent shall

reasonably determine on an institutional basis for all LIBOR based loans

(including the Loans) made by such Requisite Lenders (which determination shall

be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, by reason of

circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means do

not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Requisite

Lenders shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and

binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and

fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding all such LIBOR based loans

(including the Loans), the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone

notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrower and the

Lenders at least two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest

Period. Unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent upon

receipt of such telephone notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request

regarding such Loans, any Loans that were requested to be made as LIBOR Rate

Loans shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until any such notice has been

withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Loans shall be made as or

continued as LIBOR Rate Loans for the Interest Periods so affected.

Section 2.09 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this

Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the

interpretation or application thereof by the relevant Governmental Authority to

any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to

make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain

in the interbank eurodollar market through its LIBOR Lending Office the funds

with which to make such Loans, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the

Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof, (b) the commitment of such Lender

hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans or continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such shall

forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall give notice that the

condition or situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist,

and (c) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall

be converted on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans or within

such earlier period as required by law as Alternate Base Rate Loans. The

Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any

additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for actual and direct

costs (but not including anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by such Lender

in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to

any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section (which certificate must

be delivered to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of the change

in law) submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the

Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender

agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its

LIBOR Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be

payable pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that such efforts shall not

cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or

regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.

Section 2.10 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the

interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any

request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central

bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with

respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation

of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for changes in the

rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special

deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by,

deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or

other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any

office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination

of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to

such Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans or to reduce any

amount receivable hereunder or under any Revolving Note, then, in any such

case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any

additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional

cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably deems to be

material as determined by such Lender with respect to its LIBOR Rate

Loans. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this

Section (which certificate must be delivered to the Administrative Agent

within 10 Business Days of the change in law) submitted by such Lender,

through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in

the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable

efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its LIBOR Lending Office)

to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable

pursuant to this paragraph of this Section; provided, however, that such

efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional

costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be material.

(b) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or

any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the

interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any person

controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy

(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental

Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of

reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such person's capital as a

consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender

or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or

compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such person's policies

with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender

to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by

such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as

shall be certified by such Lender as being required to compensate it for such

reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable under this

Section submitted by a Lender (which certificate shall include a description of

the basis for the computation), through the Administrative Agent, to the

Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each

Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any funding loss or expense which

such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by the

Borrower to pay the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender

in accordance with the terms hereof, (b) the failure of the Borrower to accept a

borrowing after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms

hereof (unless revoked in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(i)) and/or (c) the

failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment after the Borrower has given a

notice in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case including, but not

limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by

such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans

hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this

Section 2.11 submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the

Borrower (which certificate must be delivered to the Administrative Agent within

thirty (30) days following such default, prepayment or conversion) shall be

conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 2.11

shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Revolving Notes

and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.12 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving

Note will be, except as provided in Section 2.12(b), made free and clear of, and

without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies,

imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or

hereafter imposed pursuant to any law, rule, regulation or other promulgation by

any Governmental Authority or by any political subdivision or taxing authority

thereof (collectively, "Tax Laws") or therein with respect to such payments (but

excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of a

Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the

jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such

Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest,

penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded

taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being

referred to collectively as "Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the

Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional

amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this

Agreement or under any Revolving Note, after withholding or deduction for or on

account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in

such Revolving Note. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent as

soon as practicable after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to

applicable law certified copies (to the extent reasonably available and required

by law) of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower

agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender

upon its written requ
