agency prior to such change or cessation.

         For purposes of the Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Tranche D-1 Term Loans and
Tranche D-2 Term Loans, in the event the ratings established or deemed to have

in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of

national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the

         (c) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such
reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to

and warranties of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Borrowers contained in

pursuant to Section 2.22(e). At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is
made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral
multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum;
provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is
equal to the entire unused balance of the U.S. Revolving Facility Commitments or
that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as
contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Each Swingline Dollar Borrowing and Swingline
Foreign Currency Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
the




                                                                              68


Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. Borrowings of more
than one Type and under more than one Facility may be outstanding at the same
time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of (i) 10
Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding under each of the Tranche A-1 Facility, the
Tranche D-1 Facility and the Tranche D-2 Facility and (ii) 35 Eurocurrency
Borrowings outstanding under each of the Global Revolving Facility and the U.S.
Revolving Facility (not including Ancillary Replacement Borrowings).

         (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower
shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing
if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Tranche A-1 Maturity Date or Tranche D Maturity
Date, as applicable.

         SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. Except in the case of an
Ancillary Replacement Borrowing (which shall be governed by Section 2.22(e)), to
request a Revolving Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall notify the
Applicable Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the

finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section
2.05(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of the
proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable
and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Applicable
Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Applicable Agent
and signed by the applicable Borrower. Each such telephonic and written
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02:

          (i) the Borrower requesting such Borrowing;

          (ii) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Global Revolving
     Facility Borrowing or a U.S. Revolving Facility Borrowing;

          (iii) in the case of a Global Revolving Facility Borrowing requested
     by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, the Foreign Currency in which such
     Borrowing is to be denominated;

          (iv) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing (expressed in
     Dollars or the applicable Foreign Currency);

          (v) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;




                                                                              69


          (vi) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether such
     Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

          (vii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest
     Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by
     clause (a) of the definition of the term "Interest Period"; and

          (viii) the location and number of the applicable Borrower's account to
     which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the
requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing, unless such Global
Revolving Facility Borrowing (i) is denominated in a Foreign Currency and (ii)
is being requested by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, in which case such Global
Revolving Facility Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing. If no Interest
Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then
the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of
one month's duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in
accordance with this Section, the Applicable Agent shall advise each Lender of
the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part
of the requested Borrowing.

         SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, (i) each Swingline Dollar Lender agrees to make Swingline
Dollar Loans to the U.S. Borrower from time to time during the Availability
Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not
result in (x) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Dollar
Loans made by such Swingline Dollar Lender exceeding such Swingline Dollar
Lender's Swingline Dollar Commitment or (y) the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit
Exposure exceeding the U.S. Revolving Facility Commitments and (ii) each
Swingline Foreign Currency Lender agrees to make Swingline Foreign Currency
Loans to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time during the

Foreign Currency Lender exceeding such Swingline Foreign Currency Lender's
Swingline Foreign Currency Commitment or (y) the sum of the Global Revolving
Facility Credit Exposure and the total Ancillary Commitments exceeding the total
Global Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that no Swingline Lender shall
be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline
Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowing. Within the foregoing
limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers
may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

         (b) To request a Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Foreign
Currency Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent of
such


                                       70


request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request by telecopy),
not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Dollar
Borrowing or Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowing. Each such notice and
Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) in the
case of a Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowing, the Borrower requesting such
Borrowing, (ii) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) in the
case of a Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowing, the Foreign Currency in which
such Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowing is to be denominated, (iv) the amount
of the requested Swingline Dollar Borrowing (expressed in Dollars) or Swingline
Foreign Currency Borrowing (expressed in the applicable Foreign Currency), as
applicable, and (v) in the case of a Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowing, the

by clause (b) of the definition of the term "Interest Period". The Applicable
Agent shall promptly advise each Swingline Dollar Lender (in the case of a
notice relating to a Swingline Dollar Borrowing) or each Swingline Foreign
Currency Lender (in the case of a notice relating to a Swingline Foreign
Currency Borrowing) of any such notice received from a Borrower and the amount
of such Swingline Lender's Swingline Loan to be made as part of the requested
Swingline Dollar Borrowing or Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowing, as
applicable. Each Swingline Dollar Lender shall make each Swingline Dollar Loan
to be made by it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.02(a) on the proposed
date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local
Time, to the account of the Applicable Agent most recently designated by it for
such purpose by notice to the Swingline Dollar Lenders. The Applicable Agent
will make such Swingline Dollar Loans available to the U.S. Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the general deposit account
of the U.S. Borrower with the Applicable Agent (or, in the case of a Swingline
Dollar Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank). Each
Swingline Foreign Currency Lender shall make each Swingline Foreign Currency
Loan to be made by it hereunder in accordance with Section 2.02(a) on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00
p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Applicable Agent most recently
designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Swingline Foreign Currency
Lenders. The Applicable Agent will make such Swingline Foreign Currency Loans
available to the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower by (i) promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the general deposit account
with the Applicable Agent of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower most
recently designated to the Applicable Agent or (ii) by wire transfer of the
amounts received in immediately available funds to the general deposit account
of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower most recently designated to the
Applicable Agent.

         (c) A Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Applicable
Agent (and to the other Swingline Dollar Lenders or Swingline Foreign Currency
Lenders, as applicable) not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on any Business
Day require (i) in the case of a Swingline Dollar Lender, the U.S. Revolving
Facility Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a
portion of the outstanding


                                       71


Swingline Dollar Loans made by it or (ii) in the case of a Swingline Foreign
Currency Lender, the Global Revolving Facility Lenders to acquire participations
on such Business Day in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Foreign
Currency Loans made by it. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of
such Swingline Loans in which the U.S. Revolving Facility Lenders or Global
Revolving Facility Lenders, as applicable, will participate. Promptly upon
receipt of such notice, the Applicable Agent will give notice thereof to each
such Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's U.S. Revolving Facility
Percentage or such Global Revolving Facility Lender's ratable share (based on
Available Unused Commitments), as applicable, of such Swingline Loan or Loans.
Each U.S. Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Applicable
Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Dollar Lender, such U.S.
Revolving Facility Lender's U.S. Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline
Dollar Loan or Loans. Each Global Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely
and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to
the Applicable Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Foreign
Currency Lender, such Global Revolving Facility Lender's ratable share (based on
Available Unused Commitments) of such Swingline Foreign Currency Loan or Loans.
Each Global Revolving Facility Lender and each U.S. Revolving Facility Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations
in Swingline Foreign Currency Loans and Swingline Dollar Loans, as applicable,
pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its
obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by
such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Applicable Agent shall promptly
pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the
Revolving Credit Lenders. The Applicable Agent shall notify the applicable
Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this
paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall
be made to the Applicable Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any
amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other
party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt
by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein
shall be promptly remitted to the Applicable Agent; any such amounts received by
the Applicable Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Applicable Agent to the
Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this
paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided
that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to
the Applicable Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is
required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase
of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not
relieve the applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.




                                                                              72


         SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Each Existing Letter of
Credit is deemed to be a letter of credit issued hereunder for all purposes of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may request the issuance of
Dollar Letters of Credit and Foreign Currency Letters of Credit for its own
account, in each case in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing
Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and prior
to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by the Applicant Party to, or entered
into by the Applicant Party with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of
Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

         (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment,
renewal (other than an automatic renewal in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section) or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Applicant
Party shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication,
if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank)
to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in
advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a
notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter
of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the
date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, (subject to
paragraph (n) of this Section) the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to
be denominated, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter
of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Applicant Party also
shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank's standard form
in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall
be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Applicant Party shall be
deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed
$175,000,000 and (ii) the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not
exceed the total U.S. Revolving Facility Commitments.

         (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to
the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of
the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided
that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor




                                                                              73


may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods
(which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of
this paragraph (c)).

         (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the U.S. Revolving
Facility Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each U.S. Revolving
Facility Lender, and each U.S. Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from
such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such U.S.
Revolving Facility Lender's U.S. Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and
in furtherance of the foregoing, each U.S. Revolving Facility Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in
Dollars, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such U.S. Revolving
Facility Lender's U.S. Revolving Facility Percentage of (i) each L/C
Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar
Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rates calculated as of the date such
payment is required, of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in a
Foreign Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower on the
date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to the U.S. Borrower for any reason (or, if such
reimbursement payment was refunded in a Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent
thereof determined using the Exchange Rates calculated as of the date of such
refund). Each U.S. Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

         (e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the U.S. Borrower shall reimburse
such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to
such L/C Disbursement in Dollars or (subject to the immediately succeeding
sentence) the applicable Foreign Currency, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date the U.S. Borrower
receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement,
provided that in the case of any L/C Disbursement made in Dollars with respect
to a Letter of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower, the U.S.
Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request
in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an
ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Dollar Borrowing, as applicable, in an
equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the U.S. Borrower's obligation
to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR
Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Dollar Borrowing. If the U.S. Borrower fails to
reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then (i) if such payment




                                                                              74


relates to a Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no
further action required, the obligation to reimburse the applicable L/C
Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the
Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rates calculated as of the date
when such payment was due, of such L/C Disbursement and (ii) the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other U.S.
Revolving Facility Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the Dollar
Equivalent thereof (if such L/C Disbursement relates to a Foreign Currency
Letter of Credit), the payment then due from the U.S. Borrower in respect
thereof and, in the case of a U.S. Revolving Facility Lender, such Lender's U.S.
Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such
notice, each U.S. Revolving Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent in Dollars its U.S. Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due
from the U.S. Borrower (determined as provided in clause (i) of the immediately
preceding sentence, if such payment relates to a Foreign Currency Letter of
Credit), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans
made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the
payment obligations of the U.S. Revolving Facility Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank in
Dollars the amounts so received by it from the U.S. Revolving Facility Lenders.
Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the
U.S. Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
U.S. Revolving Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their
interests may appear. Any payment made by a U.S. Revolving Facility Lender
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement
(other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Dollar Borrowing
as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
U.S. Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.







                                                                              75


         (f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the U.S. Borrower to
reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any
draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the U.S. Borrower's
obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any
Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or
responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of
any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission
or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any
Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder),
any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from
causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing
shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to
an Applicant Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each
Applicant Party to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such
Applicant Party that are caused by (i) such Issuing Bank's failure to exercise
care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (ii) such Issuing Bank's
refusal to issue a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross
negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such
Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination
and each refusal to issue a Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing
and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with
respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank
may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

         (g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall,
promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Applicant Party and the U.S.
Borrower (if the U.S.




                                                                              76


Borrower is not the Applicant Party) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of
such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a
L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the U.S. Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such Issuing Bank and the U.S. Revolving Facility Lenders with respect
to any such L/C Disbursement.

         (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C
Disbursement, then, unless the U.S. Borrower shall reimburse such L/C
Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid
amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the U.S. Borrower
reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR
Revolving Loans; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by
the U.S. Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then
Section 2.13(d) shall apply; provided, further, that, in the case of a L/C
Disbursement made under a Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of
interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any L/C Disbursement
that is reimbursed on or before the date such L/C Disbursement is required to be
reimbursed under paragraph (e) of this Section, (A) be payable in the applicable
Foreign Currency and (B) bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably
determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of
funding such L/C Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin applicable to
Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time and (ii) in the case of any L/C
Disbursement that is reimbursed after the date such L/C Disbursement is required
to be reimbursed under paragraph (e) of this Section, (A) be payable in Dollars,
(B) accrue interest on the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange
Rates calculated as of the date such L/C Disbursement was made, of such L/C
Disbursement, (C) bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR
Revolving Loans and (D) Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant
to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank,
except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any U.S.
Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse
such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such U.S. Revolving Facility
Lender to the extent of such payment.

         (i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at
any time by written agreement among the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At
the time any such replacement shall become effective, the U.S. Borrower shall
pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank
pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such
replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and
obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
"Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous
Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the
context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the
replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party




                                                                              77


hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing
Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior
to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit.

         (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(h)
or (i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default,
on the third Business Day, in each case, following the date on which the U.S.
Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of
the Loans has been accelerated, U.S. Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving
L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure)
demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the U.S.
Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name
of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in
Dollars in cash equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portion of such
amount attributable to undrawn Foreign Currency Letters of Credit or L/C
Disbursements in a Foreign Currency that the U.S. Borrower is not late in
reimbursing pursuant to Section 2.05(e) shall be deposited with the
Administrative Agent in the applicable Foreign Currencies in the actual amounts
of such undrawn Letters of Credit and L/C Disbursements and (ii) upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower described in
clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, the obligation to deposit such cash
collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become
immediately due and payable in Dollars, without demand or other notice of any
kind. The U.S. Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this
paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit
pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment
of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole
discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the
Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the U.S. Borrower, in each
case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the U.S. Borrower,
such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C
Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the
extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement
obligations of the U.S. Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or,
if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of
U.S. Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater
than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other
obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Agreement. If the U.S. Borrower is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the U.S.




                                                                              78


Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured
or waived. If the U.S. Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not
applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the U.S. Borrower as and to the
extent that, after giving effect to such return, the U.S. Borrower would remain
in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing.

         (k) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and
payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that the U.S.
Borrower is at such time or thereafter become required to reimburse or otherwise
pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of L/C Disbursements made under any
Foreign Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which the
U.S. Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j), if such
cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Foreign Currency to the extent
so deposited or applied), (ii) that the U.S. Revolving Facility Lenders are at
the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and
the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to
distribute to an Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section in
respect of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements made under any Foreign Currency Letter
of Credit and (iii) that constitute each U.S. Revolving Facility Lender's
participation in any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit under which a L/C
Disbursement has been made, in each case, shall, automatically and with no
further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, determined
using the Exchange Rates calculated as of such date (or in the case of any L/C
Disbursement made after such date, on the date such L/C Disbursement is made),
of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to
an Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the Obligations described
in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise
applicable hereunder.

         (l) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the U.S. Borrower may
by notice to the Administrative Agent designate up to four Lenders (in addition
to JPMorgan Chase Bank) that agree (in their sole discretion) to act in such
capacity and are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as Issuing
Banks. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this
Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder
for all purposes.

         (m) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent,
each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the
first Business Day of each week and the first Business Day of each fiscal
quarter, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and
outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding week or the preceding
fiscal quarter, as applicable, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which
such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit,
the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate
face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended,




                                                                              79


renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof
changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C
Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C
Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

         (n) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after
the Closing Date, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for an Issuing Bank
to issue Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, then by prompt
written notice thereof to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent (which
notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), such
Issuing Bank may declare that Letters of Credit will not thereafter be issued by
it in the affected Foreign Currency or Foreign Currencies, whereupon the
affected Foreign Currency or Foreign Currencies shall be deemed (for the
duration of such declaration) not to constitute a Foreign Currency for purposes
of the issuance of Letters of Credit by such Issuing Bank.

         SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each
Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the
Applicable Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to
the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section
2.04. The Applicable Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable
Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Applicable Agent (i) in
New York City, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) in London,
in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency and designated by the
applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR
Revolving Loans and Swingline Dollar Borrowings made to finance the
reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section
2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing
Bank.

         (b) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Applicable Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing,
the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Applicable Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding
amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Applicable Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (x) the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with




                                                                              80


banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of a Borrowing
denominated in Dollars) or (y) the rate reasonably determined by the Applicable
Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing
denominated in a Foreign Currency) or (ii) in the case of the applicable
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of a Borrowing
denominated in Dollars) or the rate reasonably determined by the Applicable
Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing
denominated in a Foreign Currency). If such Lender pays such amount to the
Applicable Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included
in such Borrowing.

         SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be
of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in
such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert
such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings denominated in
Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.
The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different
portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be
allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing,
and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowings
or Swingling Dollar Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

         (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable
Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent of such election by telephone by the
time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such
Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and denominated in the Foreign
Currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such
election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable
and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Applicable
Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the
Applicable Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower.

         (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify
the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

          (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and,
     if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
     thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
     (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii)
     and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

          (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
     Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;




                                                                              81


          (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
     Eurocurrency Borrowing; provided that the resulting Borrowing is required
     to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a
     Foreign Currency; and

          (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the
     Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
     election, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (a) of the
     definition of the term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to
have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

         (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Applicable Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election
Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each
resulting Borrowing.

         (e) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest
Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as
provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing (unless such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign
Currency, in which case such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency
Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month's duration commencing on the last
day of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent,
at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the
Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as an Event
of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or
continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency
Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the
end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) unless repaid, each
Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be continued as a
Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month's duration.

         SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless
previously terminated, the Global Revolving Facility Commitments shall terminate
on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the U.S. Revolving Facility
Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The parties
hereto acknowledge that the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Commitments, the Tranche D-1
Term Loan Commitments and the Tranche D-2 Term Loan Commitments shall terminate
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Restatement Effective Date.

         (b) The U.S. Borrower (on behalf of itself and all Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers) may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Commitments




                                                                              82


under any Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments under
any Facility shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and not less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitments) and (ii) the U.S. Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the
Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, (x) the
Global Revolving Facility Credit Exposure plus the total Ancillary Facility
Commitments would exceed the total Global Revolving Facility Commitments or (y)
the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total U.S.
Revolving Facility Commitments.

         (c) The U.S. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under paragraph
(b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of
such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice
delivered by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments
delivered by the U.S. Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon
the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be
revoked by the U.S. Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any
termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction
of the Commitments under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitments under such Facility.

         SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The U.S.
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Applicable Agent for
the account of each U.S. Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each U.S. Revolving Facility Loan to the U.S. Borrower on the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (ii) to the Applicable Agent for the account of
each Global Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid amount of each Global
Revolving Facility Loan to the U.S. Borrower on the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date, (iii) to the Applicable Agent for the account of each Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section
2.10 and (iv) to the Swingline Dollar Lender the then unpaid principal amount of
each Swingline Dollar Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
and the first date after such Swingline Dollar Loan is made that is the 15th or
last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such
Swingline Dollar Loan is made; provided that on each date that a U.S. Revolving
Facility Borrowing is made by the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower shall repay
all Swingline Dollar Loans then outstanding. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Applicable Agent for the
account of each Global Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Global Revolving Facility Loan to such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (ii) to each Swingline
Foreign Currency Lender the then unpaid




                                                                              83


principal amount of each Swingline Foreign Currency Loan made by such Lender on
the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such Swingline Foreign Currency Loan.

         (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal
and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

         (c) Each Applicable Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility and Type thereof
and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by such
Applicable Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's
share thereof.

         (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any
Lender or an Applicable Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute
and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender
(or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and
in a form approved by the Applicable Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory
notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

         SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Term Loans and Revolving Loans. (a) Subject
to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, the U.S. Borrower shall
repay Tranche A-1 Term Borrowings on each date set forth below in the aggregate
principal amount set forth opposite such date (each such date being referred to
as a "Tranche A-1 Installment Date"):

         (c) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Tranche A-1 Term Loans
shall be due and payable on the Tranche A-1 Maturity Date and (ii) all Tranche D
Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche D Maturity Date.

         (d) Except as set forth in paragraph (e) below:

          (i) all Net Proceeds to be applied at any time to prepay Term
     Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied to the Tranche A-1
     Term Borrowings, Tranche D-1 Term Borrowings and Tranche D-2 Term
     Borrowings ratably in accordance with the respective principal amounts
     outstanding thereof;

          (ii) Excess Cash Flow to be applied at any time to prepay Term
     Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.11(d) shall be applied to the Term
     Borrowings as directed by the U.S. Borrower; and

          (iii) each prepayment of principal of the Term Borrowings pursuant to
     Section 2.11(a) shall be applied to the Term Borrowings as directed by the
     U.S. Borrower.

         Prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be applied to each Term
Borrowing, (A) in the case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or
Section 2.11(d), to reduce scheduled amortization payments under paragraphs (a)
and (b) above as directed by the U.S. Borrower and (B) in the case of
prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(c), (1) to reduce in order of maturity
the scheduled amortization payments under paragraphs (a) and (b) above occurring
within the 12-month period after the date of such payment in respect of such
Term Borrowing and (2) thereafter, to reduce on a pro rata basis (based on the
amount of such amortization payments) the remaining scheduled amortization
payments in respect of such Term Borrowing. For purposes of determining any
allocation made ratably or on a pro rata basis contemplated under this paragraph
at any time, the amount of any Tranche D-2 Term Loan shall be the Dollar
Equivalent of the principal amount thereof, determined using the Exchange Rate
calculated as of the date of such prepayment. For purposes of determining the
amount of any prepayment of Tranche D-2 Term Borrowings pursuant to Section
2.11(c) or 2.11(d), the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such prepayment is
to be made shall be used.

         (e) Any Lender holding Tranche D-1 Term Loans or Tranche D-2 Term Loans
may elect, on not less than two Business Days' prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent with respect to any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to
Section 2.11(c) or 2.11(d), not to have such prepayment applied to such Lender's





                                                                              86


Tranche D-1 Term Loans or Tranche D-2 Term Loans, as applicable, in which case
(i) so long as Tranche A-1 Term Borrowings are outstanding (A) an amount equal
to 50% of the amount not so applied shall be applied to prepay Tranche A-1 Term
Borrowings, and shall reduce scheduled payments under Section 2.10(a) after the
date of any prepayment on the same basis as is provided for the respective types
of payments pursuant to Section 2.10(d) and (B) 50% of the amount not so applied
shall be retained by the U.S. Borrower and (ii) once all Tranche A-1 Term
Borrowings have been repaid in full, the amount not so applied shall be retained
by the U.S. Borrower.

         (f) Prior to any repayment of any Borrowing under any Facility
hereunder, the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as
applicable, shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the applicable
Facility to be repaid and shall notify the Applicable Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time,
(i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the scheduled date
of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, three
Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a
Borrowing (x) in the case of the Global Revolving Facility, shall be applied to
the Global Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that
each Global Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such
repayment (based upon the respective Global Revolving Facility Credit Exposures
of the Global Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment) and (y)
in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid
Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding
sentence, prior to any repayment of a Swingline Dollar Borrowing or a Swingline
Foreign Currency Borrowing hereunder, the U.S. Borrower or the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, shall select the Borrowing or
Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Applicable Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time,
on the scheduled date of such repayment. Repayments of Borrowings shall be
accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

         SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The applicable Borrower shall
have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in
whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in
an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing
Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount
outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(f).

         (b) In the event and on such occasion that (i) (A) the sum of (1) the
Global Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and (2) the total Ancillary
Commitments exceeds (B) (x) 105% of the total Global Revolving Facility
Commitments solely as a result of currency fluctuations or (y) the total Global
Revolving Facility Commitments (other than as a result of currency
fluctuations), the Borrowers under the Global Revolving Facility shall prepay
Global Revolving Facility Borrowings or Swingline Foreign Currency Borrowings
made to such Borrowers, or reduce total Ancillary Commitments, in an aggregate
amount equal to the amount by which (A) the sum of (1) the Global Revolving





                                                                              87


Facility Credit Exposure and (2) the total Ancillary Commitments exceeds (B) the
total Global Revolving Facility Commitments or (ii) the U.S. Revolving Facility
Credit Exposure exceeds (A) 105% of the total U.S. Revolving Facility
Commitments solely as a result of currency fluctuations or (B) the total U.S.
Revolving Facility Commitments (other than as a result of currency
fluctuations), the U.S. Borrower shall prepay U.S. Revolving Facility Borrowings
or Swingline Dollar Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding,
deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the U.S.
Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the total U.S. Revolving Facility
Commitments.

         (c) The U.S. Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds promptly upon
receipt thereof to prepay Term Borrowings in accordance with paragraphs (d)
through (f) of Section 2.10.

         (d) Not later than 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow
Period, the U.S. Borrower shall calculate Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash
Flow Period and shall apply an amount equal to the Required Percentage of such
Excess Cash Flow to prepay Term Borrowings in accordance with paragraphs (d)
through (f) of Section 2.10. Not later than the date on which the U.S. Borrower
is required to deliver financial statements with respect to the end of each
Excess Cash Flow Period under Section 5.04(a), the U.S. Borrower will deliver to
the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the U.S.
Borrower setting forth the amount, if any, of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal
year and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail.

         (e) All voluntary prepayments of Tranche D Term Loans effected on or
prior to the first anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date with the
proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance or incurrence of new term loans
under this Agreement, as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, waived or
otherwise modified from time to time (excluding a refinancing of all the
Facilities outstanding under this Agreement in connection with another
transaction not permitted by this Agreement (as determined prior to giving
effect to any amendment or waiver of this Agreement being adopted in connection
with such transaction)), shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 1.00%
of the aggregate amount of such prepayments if the Applicable Rate (or similar
interest rate spread) applicable to such new term loans is or, upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions, could be less than the Applicable Rate
applicable to the Tranche D Term Loans as of the date hereof.

         SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The U.S. Borrower (on behalf of itself and the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) agrees to pay to each Lender (other than any
Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, 10 Business Days after the
last day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three Business
Days after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders
shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a "Commitment Fee") on
the sum of (a) the daily




                                                                              88


unused amount of the U.S. Revolving Facility Commitment, (b) the daily amount of
the Available Unused Commitment and (c) the daily unused amount of the Ancillary
Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period
commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the last of
the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to (x) 0.75%
per annum in respect of each day on which the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Exposure (excluding the Swingline Exposures) is less than or equal to 50% of the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.25 to
1.00, (y) 0.50% per annum in respect of each day on which the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding the Swingline Exposures) represents more
than 50% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Leverage Ratio is less
than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 but greater than 2.00 to 1.00 and (z) 0.375%, if
the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 (without regard to the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the
purpose of calculating any Lender's Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline
Loans during the period for which such Lender's Commitment Fee is calculated
shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence
to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the
last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein.

         (b) The U.S. Borrower (on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers) from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each U.S. Revolving Facility
Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, 10
Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each
year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Credit
Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an
"L/C Participation Fee") on such Lender's U.S. Revolving Facility Percentage of
the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter
(or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the U.S. Revolving Facility
Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings effective for each day in such
period minus the amount of Issuing Bank Fees (as defined below) set forth in
clause (ii)(x) below and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x)
three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year and three Business Days after the date on which the U.S. Revolving
Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein,
a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit
to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate
equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of the daily average stated amount of such Letter
of Credit), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of
any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing
Bank's customary documentary and processing charges (collectively, "Issuing Bank
Fees"). All




                                                                              89


L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable on a per annum
basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a
year of 360 days.

         (c) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Administrative Agent, the fees set forth in the
Administrative Agent Fee Letter dated as of November 15, 2002, as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, at the times
specified therein (the "Administrative Agent Fees").

         (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate,
among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the
applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under
any circumstances.

         SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
(including each Swingline Dollar Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

         (b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

         (c) The Swingline Foreign Currency Loans comprising each Swingline
Foreign Currency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Swingline Foreign Currency
Rate plus 1.50% per annum plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for
Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings.

         (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on
any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the applicable Borrower
hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of
any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the
preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount (x)
payable in Dollars, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in
paragraph (a) of this Section or (y) payable in a Foreign Currency, the rate set
forth in clause (i) of this sentence; provided that this paragraph (d) shall not
apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to
Section 9.08.

         (e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on
each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Global Revolving
Facility Loans, upon termination of the Global Revolving Facility Commitments,
(iii) in the case of U.S. Revolving Facility Loans, upon termination of the U.S.
Revolving Facility Commitments, (iv) in the case of the Tranche A-1 Term Loans,
on the Tranche A-1 Maturity Date and (v) in the case of the Tranche D Term
Loans, on the Tranche D Maturity Date; provided




                                                                              90


that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be
payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan
(other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the
Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid
shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the
event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion.

         (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that (i) interest on Borrowings denominated in Sterling and
(ii) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate
or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Applicable Agent, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:

          (a) the Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be
     conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
     exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as
     applicable, for such Interest Period; or

          (b) the Applicable Agent is advised by the Required Lenders or the
     Majority Lenders under the Global Revolving Facility that the Adjusted LIBO
     Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not
     adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
     maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest
     Period;

then the Applicable Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Applicable Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such
currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or
continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if
such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, an ABR Borrowing or (B) if such
Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, as a Borrowing bearing interest
at such rate as the Majority Lenders under the Global Revolving Facility and the
applicable Borrower shall agree adequately reflects the costs to the Global
Revolving Facility Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans, and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (if




                                                                              91


such Borrowing is requested to be made in Dollars) or shall be made as a
Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Majority Lenders under the Global
Revolving Facility shall agree adequately reflects the costs to the Global
Revolving Facility Lenders of making the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

         SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

          (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
     similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
     or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
     reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or those for which payment has been
     requested pursuant to Section 2.21) or Issuing Bank; or

          (ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank
     market any other condition affecting this Agreement, Eurocurrency Loans or
     Swingline Foreign Currency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
     Credit or participation therein (except those for which payment has been
     requested pursuant to Section 2.21);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or Swingline Foreign
Currency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to
increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or
the U.S. Borrower (in the case of a Letter of Credit) will pay to such Lender or
Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.

         (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such
Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by,
such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level
below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such
Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's policies and the
policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower (in the case
of a Loan) or the U.S. Borrower (in the case of a Letter of Credit) shall pay to
such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or
such Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.




                                                                              92


         (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its
holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or
the U.S. Borrower (in the case of a Letter of Credit) and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the
U.S. Borrower (in the case of a Letter of Credit) shall pay such Lender or
Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.

         (d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that
it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15,
such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower thereof.
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender's or Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that a
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable,
notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions and of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

         SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment
of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Swingline Foreign Currency Loan
other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including
as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the
failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date
specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any
Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then,
in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost
and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan or
Swingline Foreign Currency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall
be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any,
of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount
of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would
have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to
the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that
would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of
such period, for deposits in the applicable Foreign Currency of a





                                                                              93


comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A
certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender
is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to such
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

         SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Borrower
shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such
payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section) any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as
applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and
(iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

         (b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

         (c) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Agents, each Lender and each
Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Agent, Lender or Issuing
Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
obligation of such Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to such Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

         (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a
Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at




                                                                              94


the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
such Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
a reduced rate.

         (f) If an Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it
has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which such Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund
to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect
to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of such Agent or
such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section
shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its
Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Borrowers or any other person.

         SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment
required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or
reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15,
2.16, 2.17 or 2.21, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date
when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Applicable Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Applicable Agent to the applicable account designated to
the U.S. Borrower by each Applicable Agent, except payments to be made directly
to the applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Swingline Lender as expressly
provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17,
2.21 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The
Applicable Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in
the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) reimbursement obligations
shall, subject to Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(k), be made in the currency in which
the Letter of Credit in respect of which such reimbursement obligation exists is
denominated or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Loan
Document (other than an Ancillary Facility Document) shall be made in Dollars.
Any payment required to be made by an Applicable




                                                                              95


Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if such
Applicable Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps
to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures
of the clearing or settlement system used by such Applicable Agent to make such
payment. Any amount payable by any Applicable Agent to one or more Lenders in
the national currency of a member state of the European Union that has adopted
the Euro as its lawful currency shall be paid in Euros.

         (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to
the Applicable Agent from any Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal,
unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due from such Borrower
hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest
and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed L/C
Disbursements then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed
L/C Disbursements then due to such parties.

         (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans or participations in L/C
Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans
and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and participations in L/C
Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Term Loans, Revolving Loans and participations in L/C
Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment
made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to such Borrower
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph (c) shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,
to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower
in the amount of such participation.




                                                                              96


         (d) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Agent
for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that
such Borrower will not make such payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that
such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable
Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable
Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation (in the case of an amount denominated in Dollars) and
(ii) the rate reasonably determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it
of funding such amount (in the case of an amount denominated in a Foreign
Currency).

         (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by
it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.18(d), then the
Applicable Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Applicable Agent for the
account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

         SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21, or if a Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.17 or 2.21, as
applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender in any material respect. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

         (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21, or
if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
or is a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in




                                                                              97


Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and
participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case
of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section
2.15 or 2.21 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing
in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower
may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

         SECTION 2.20. Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties. On or after the Closing
Date, the U.S. Borrower may designate any Foreign Subsidiary that is a Wholly
Owned Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower by delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Agreement executed by such
Foreign Subsidiary and the U.S. Borrower. Each such designation shall specify
whether such Foreign Subsidiary shall be entitled (i) to make Borrowings under
the Global Revolving Facility and request Letters of Credit under the U.S.
Revolving Facility and/or (ii) to request the creation of Ancillary Facilities
under Section 2.22, and each such designation shall be subject to the consent of
the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld).
Upon the execution by the U.S. Borrower and delivery to the Administrative Agent
of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Termination with respect to any Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower, such Foreign Subsidiary shall cease to be a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement; provided that no Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower Termination will become effective as to any Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower (other than to terminate such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower's
right to make further Borrowings under this Agreement) at a time when any
principal of or interest on any Loan to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or any
Foreign Currency Letter of Credit for the account of such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower shall be outstanding hereunder or any Ancillary Facility under which
Ancillary Credit Extensions may be made available to such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower has not been previously terminated. Promptly following receipt of any
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Agreement or Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
Termination, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each
Revolving Credit Lender. The U.S. Borrower shall be entitled to designate any
Foreign Subsidiary that complies with the requirements described in Section
5.10(f) as a Foreign Subsidiary Loan Party.

         SECTION 2.21. Additional Reserve Costs. (a) For so long as any Lender
is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England or comply with
reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of the Bank of
England, to maintain


                                       98


reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender's
Eurocurrency Loans or Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall be
entitled to require the applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each
payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a
rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with
the formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit L hereto.

         (b) For so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve
assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other
authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank
or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in
the Statutory Reserves or the Mandatory Costs Rate) in respect of any of such
Lender's Eurocurrency Loans Swingline Foreign Currency Loans, such Lender shall
be entitled to require the applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with
each payment of interest on each of such Lender's Loans subject to such
requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by
such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in
relation to such Loan.

         (c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above
shall be determined by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the applicable Borrower (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date
on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional
interest so notified to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall be payable
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which
interest is payable for such Loan.

         Ancillary Facilities. (a) General. If a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and
a Global Revolving Facility Lender agree, subject to (i) compliance with the
requirements set forth in this Section 2.22 and (ii) such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower having complied with Sections 2.20 and 4.03, such Global Revolving
Facility Lender shall be permitted to provide an Ancillary Facility on a
bilateral basis to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. The total Ancillary
Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Ancillary Commitment Limit.

         (b) Creation of Ancillary Facilities. To request the creation of an
Ancillary Facility, a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent not later than 10 Business Days prior to the first date on

          the first date on which such Ancillary Facility shall be made
          available or (y) when combined with all Ancillary Commitments of the
          Ancillary Lenders, exceed the Ancillary Commitment Limit) and the
          Foreign Currencies in which such Ancillary Facilities shall be made

of this Section. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to each Global
Revolving Facility Lender of such matters.

         (d) Terms of Ancillary Facility. Each Ancillary Facility shall contain

applicable Foreign




                                                                             100

          (i) Any Ancillary Facility shall be permitted to be terminated by the
     applicable Ancillary Lender in accordance with the terms of such Ancillary
     Facility and, upon the effective date of such termination (an "Ancillary
     Facility Termination Date"), all Ancillary Credit Extensions under such
     Ancillary Facility shall be refinanced with the proceeds of an Ancillary
     Replacement Borrowing as set forth below, unless the Loans shall have been
     accelerated pursuant to Section 7.01.

          (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the
     Ancillary Facility Document relating to the Ancillary Facility to be
     terminated, the Ancillary Lender seeking to terminate an Ancillary Facility
     shall deliver to the Applicable Agent, with a copy to the applicable
     Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, a written notice of termination (a "Notice of
     Termination") not later than five Business Days prior to the Ancillary
     Facility Termination Date specified in such Notice of Termination for such
     Ancillary Facility. Each such Notice of Termination shall specify:

               (A) the names of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and
          Ancillary Lender;

               (B) the aggregate amount of Ancillary Credit Extensions under the
          applicable Ancillary Facility (which shall not exceed the Ancillary
          Commitment in respect of such Ancillary Facility) (the "Ancillary
          Facility Repayment Amount"); and

               (C) the applicable Ancillary Facility Termination Date.




                                                                             101


          (iii) Following receipt of a Notice of Termination with respect to an
     Ancillary Facility, the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall
     deliver to the Applicable Agent a written notice not later than 2:00 p.m.,
     Local Time, three Business Days prior to the Ancillary Facility Termination
     Date with respect to such Ancillary Facility, which notice shall specify
     the following information relating to an Ancillary Replacement Borrowing:

               (A) the name of the Eligible Borrower that shall make such
          Ancillary Replacement Borrowing;

               (B) the currency in which such Ancillary Replacement Borrowing is
          to be denominated (which shall be Dollars, Euros or Sterling);

               (C) the initial Interest Period to be applicable to such
          Ancillary Replacement Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated
          by clause (a) of the definition of the term "Interest Period"; and

               (D) the location and number of the applicable Eligible Borrower's
          account to which funds are to be disbursed.

          (iv) On the Ancillary Facility Termination Date for an Ancillary
     Facility, the Global Revolving Facility Lenders shall make Loans composing
     an Ancillary Replacement Borrowing in an aggregate principal amount equal
     to the Ancillary Facility Repayment amount in accordance with Sections 2.02
     and 2.06.

          (v) The Eligible Borrower to which such Ancillary Replacement
     Borrowing is made shall use the proceeds of such Ancillary Replacement
     Borrowing solely (i) to repay to the applicable Ancillary Lender all Funded
     Ancillary Credit Extensions under such terminated Ancillary Facility and
     (ii) to deposit cash collateral with such Ancillary Lender in respect of
     all Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extensions under such terminated Ancillary
     Facility. Each deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph shall
     be held by the applicable Global Revolving Facility Lender as collateral
     for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable
     Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in respect of Unfunded Ancillary Credit
     Extensions under such terminated Ancillary Facility. Such Global Revolving
     Facility Lender shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the
     exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account; provided that, on the CAM
     Exchange Date, the Administrative Agent shall assume exclusive dominion and
     control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.
     Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which
     investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so
     long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the applicable Global
     Revolving Facility Lender and (ii) at any other time, the applicable
     Eligible Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk
     and expense of such Eligible Borrower,




                                                                             102


     such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
     investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall
     be applied by the applicable Global Revolving Facility Lender to offset
     amounts payable in respect of Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extensions made
     under such terminated Ancillary Facility. In the event that after the
     ancillary Facility Termination Date for an ancillary Facility but prior to
     the CAM Exchange Date, an Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension made under
     such terminated Ancillary Facility shall expire without requiring payment,
     the portion of the cash collateral deposited hereunder with respect to such
     expired Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension shall be distributed to the
     applicable Eligible Borrower.

         (f) Cancelation by Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. The Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower to which an Ancillary Facility has been made available shall be
permitted at any time to request the cancelation of all or a portion of such
Ancillary Facility by delivery of a notice in writing to the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Ancillary Lender, specifying the Ancillary Facility to
be canceled and the proposed cancelation date. Such notice shall be delivered
not less than five Business Days prior to the proposed cancelation date. Such
cancelation shall be effective as of the proposed cancelation date unless the
Ancillary Facility Exposure under such Ancillary Facility has not been reduced
to zero as of such date.

has or shall have as of the Restatement Effective Date any Guarantee, contingent

long-term commitment, including any interest rate or foreign currency hedging





                                                                             105

         SECTION 3.06. No Material Adverse Change or Material Adverse Effect.

occurrence that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse change) in the
business, operations, properties, assets or financial condition of the U.S.
Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, it being understood that prior

and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other
limited property interests in, all its properties and assets (including all
Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere
with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize
such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the
failure to have such title could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties
and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by
Section 6.02 or arising by operation of law.

         (b) Each of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the

party, except where the failure to comply would not have a Material Adverse
Effect, and all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in
respect of which the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Holdings, Intermediate
Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and
undisturbed possession under all such leases, other than leases in respect of
which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect.

         (c) Each of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the
Subsidiaries owns or possesses, or could obtain ownership or possession of, on
terms not materially adverse to it, all patents, trademarks, service marks,
trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary for
the present conduct of its business, without any known conflict with the rights
of others, and free from any burdensome restrictions, except where such
conflicts and restrictions could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.




                                                                             106

         (e) None of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the

Schedule 3.08(c).

         SECTION 3.09. Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) Except as set forth
on Schedule 3.09, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity

Subsidiaries or any business, property or rights of any such person (i) that
involve any Loan Document or the Transactions or (ii) as to which an adverse
determination is reasonably probable and which could reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or materially
adversely affect the Transactions.

         (b) None of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower, the

agreement affecting any Mortgaged Property, or is in default with respect to any

adequately provided for, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Except, in the case of clauses (b) and (c), as set forth on Schedule

transactions contemplated hereby included in the Lenders' Presentation or
otherwise prepared by or on behalf of the foregoing or their representatives and
made available to any Lenders or the Administrative Agent in connection with the
Restatement Transactions or the other transactions contemplated hereby, when
taken as a whole, were true and correct in all material respects as of the date
thereof, as of the date such Information was first furnished to the Lenders and
as of the Restatement Effective Date and did not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact as of any such date or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in
light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

         (b) The Projections and estimates prepared by or on behalf of the U.S.
Borrower or any of its representatives and that have been made available to any
Lenders or the Administrative Agent in connection with the Restatement
Transactions or the other transactions contemplated hereby (i) have been
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the U.S. Borrower to
be reasonable as of the date thereof, as of the date such Projections and

Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates is in
compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the provisions of the
Code relating to Plans and the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder and any similar applicable non-U.S. law, except for such
noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. No Reportable Event has occurred during




                                                                             109


the past five years as to which the Borrowers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings,
any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate was required to file a report with the
PBGC, other than reports that have been filed and reports the failure of which
to file could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As
of the Restatement Effective Date, the excess of the present value of all
benefit liabilities under each Plan of the Borrowers, Holdings, Intermediate
Holdings, the Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates (based on those assumptions
used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto
for which a valuation is available, over the value of the assets of such Plan
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the
excess of the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans
(based on those assumptions used to fund each such Plan) as of the last annual
valuation dates applicable thereto for which valuations are available, over the
value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Borrowers, Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings, the Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates has incurred or
could reasonably be expected to incur any Withdrawal Liability that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Borrowers,
Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Subsidiaries and the ERISA Affiliates has
received any written notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in
reorganization or has been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA,
or has knowledge that any Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in
reorganization or to be terminated, where such reorganization or termination has
had or could reasonably be expected to have, through increases in the
contributions required to be made to such Plan or otherwise, a Material Adverse
Effect.

         (b) Each of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the
Subsidiaries is in compliance (i) with all applicable provisions of law and all
applicable regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to
any employee pension benefit plan or other employee benefit plan governed by the
laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States and (ii) with the terms of
any such plan, except, in each case, for such noncompliance that could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 3.16. Environmental Matters. Except for the matters that could
not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect, neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has

with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law,
(ii) is subject to, or responsible for, any Environmental Liability, (iii) has
received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv)
knows of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result
in any Environmental Liability.

         SECTION 3.17. Security Documents. (a) The U.S. Collateral Agreement is
effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the
Secured Parties) a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the
Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged
Collateral described in the U.S.





                                                                             110


Collateral Agreement, when certificates or promissory notes, as applicable,
representing such Pledged Collateral are delivered to the Collateral Agent, and
in the case of the other Collateral described in the U.S. Collateral Agreement
(other than the Intellectual Property (as defined in the U.S. Collateral
Agreement)), when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 3
of the U.S. Perfection Certificate in appropriate form are filed in the offices
specified on Schedule 5 of the U.S. Perfection Certificate, the Collateral Agent
(for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on,
and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in
such Collateral and, subject to Section 9-315 of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code, the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations to the extent
perfection can be obtained by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person
(except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Collateral, Liens
expressly permitted by Section 6.02(a) and Liens having priority by operation of
law).

         (b) When the U.S. Collateral Agreement or a summary thereof is properly
filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
Copyright Office, and, with respect to Collateral in which a security interest
cannot be perfected by such filings, upon the proper filing of the financing
statements referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Collateral Agent (for the
benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and
security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties
thereunder in the Intellectual Property, in each case prior and superior in
right to any other Person (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office
may be necessary to perfect a lien on registered trademarks and patents,
trademark and patent applications and registered copyrights acquired by the
grantors after the Closing Date).

         (c) Each Foreign Pledge Agreement and each Foreign Security Agreement
is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the
Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged
Collateral described in a Foreign Pledge Agreement, when certificates or
promissory notes, as applicable, representing such Pledged Collateral are
delivered to the Collateral Agent, and, in the case of the Collateral described
in a Foreign Security Agreement, when filings are made in the appropriate
offices in each relevant jurisdiction and the other actions, if any, specified
on such Schedule are taken, the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured
Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all
right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the
proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and
superior in right to any other person (except, in the case of Collateral other
than Pledged Collateral, Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02(a) and Liens
having priority by operation of law).

         (d) The Mortgages entered into after the Closing Date pursuant to
Section 5.10 shall be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent (for
the benefit of the Secured Parties) a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on all
of the Loan Parties' right,




                                                                             111


title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property thereunder and the proceeds
thereof, and when such Mortgages are filed or recorded in the proper real estate
filing or recording offices, the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the
Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in,
all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Mortgaged Property
and, to the extent applicable, subject to Section 9-315 of the Uniform
Commercial Code, the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right
to any other Person, other than with respect to the rights of a Person pursuant
to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02(a) and Liens having priority by
operation of law.

         SECTION 3.18. Location of Real Property and Leased Premises. (a)
Schedule 2B to the U.S. Perfection Certificate and each Foreign Perfection
Certificate lists completely and correctly as of the Closing Date all material
real property owned by Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and
the Subsidiary Loan Parties and the addresses thereof. As of the Closing Date,
Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries own in
fee all the real property set forth as being owned by them on such Schedules.

         (b) Schedule 2B to the U.S. Perfection Certificate lists completely and
correctly as of the Closing Date all material real property leased by Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiary Loan
Parties and the addresses thereof. As of the Closing Date, Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the Domestic Subsidiary Loan
Parties have valid leases in all the real property set forth as being leased by
them on such Schedules.

         SECTION 3.19. Solvency. (a) Immediately after giving effect to the
Restatement Transactions (i) the fair value of the assets of each Borrower
(individually) and the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of each Borrower (individually) and the
U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, respectively; (ii)
the present fair saleable value of the property of each Borrower (individually)
and the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be
greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of
each Borrower (individually) and the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis, respectively, on their debts and other liabilities, direct,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities
become absolute and matured; (iii) each Borrower (individually) and the U.S.
Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their
debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such
debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) each Borrower
(individually) and the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated
basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the
businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and
are proposed to be conducted following the Restatement Effective Date.




                                                                             112


         (b) None of Holdings or the Borrowers intend to, and does not believe
that it or any of its subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay
such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to
be received by it or any such subsidiary and the timing and amounts of cash to
be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such
subsidiary.

         SECTION 3.20. Labor Matters. There are no strikes pending or threatened
against Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked and payments made
to employees of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the
Subsidiaries have not been in violation in any material respect of the Fair
Labor Standards Act or any other applicable law dealing with such matters. All
material payments due from Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or
any of the Subsidiaries or for which any claim may be made against Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, on account
of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been
paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings,
the U.S. Borrower or such Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP. Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.20, consummation of the Transactions will not give rise
to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union
under any collective bargaining agreement to which Holdings, Intermediate
Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a
party or by which Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of
the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound, other than collective bargaining
agreements that, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

         SECTION 3.21. Insurance. Schedule 3.21 sets forth a true, complete and
correct description of all material insurance maintained by or on behalf of
Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or the Subsidiaries as of the
Restatement Effective Date. As of such date, such insurance is in full force and
effect. The U.S. Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf
of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries is
adequate.






                                                                             113


                                   ARTICLE IV

                              Conditions of Lending

         The obligations of (a) the Lenders (including the Swingline Lenders) to
make Loans and (b) any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit or increase the
stated amounts of Letters of Credit hereunder (each, a "Credit Event") are
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

         SECTION 4.01. All Credit Events. On the date of each Borrowing (other
than an Ancillary Replacement Borrowing) and on the date of each issuance,
amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit:

          (a) The Administrative Agent shall have received, in the case of a
     Borrowing, a Borrowing Request as required by Section 2.03 (or a Borrowing
     Request shall have been deemed given in accordance with the last paragraph
     of Section 2.03) or, in the case of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the
     applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent shall have received a
     notice requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit as required by
     Section 2.05(b).

          (b) The representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof
     shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of
     such Borrowing or issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of
     Credit (other than an amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit
     without any increase in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit), as
     applicable, with the same effect as though made on and as of such date,
     except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate
     to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall
     be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).

          (c) At the time of and immediately after such Borrowing or issuance,

     in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit), as applicable, no Event of
     Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Each Borrowing (other than an Ancillary Replacement Borrowing) and each

Credit) on the date of such Borrowing, issuance, amendment, extension or renewal
as applicable, as to the matters specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this

         SECTION 4.03. Credit Events Relating to Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

(z) any Ancillary Lender to make available an Ancillary Facility to such Foreign

          a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Agreement with respect to such Foreign
          Subsidiary Borrower duly executed by all parties thereto; and

               (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received such documents
          (including legal opinions) and certificates as the Administrative
          Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the formation,
          existence and good standing of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, the
          authorization of Borrowings as they relate to such Foreign Subsidiary
          Borrower and any other legal matters relating to such Foreign
          Subsidiary Borrower or its Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Agreement, all
          in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
          Agent and its counsel.

          (b) The Administrative Agent and the applicable Ancillary Lender, if
     any, shall be reasonably satisfied that Section 5.10(f) shall have been
     complied with in respect of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and that the
     Collateral and Guarantee Requirement shall have been satisfied with respect
     to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and its subsidiaries.








                                                                             115


                                    ARTICLE V

                              Affirmative Covenants

         Each of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Borrowers covenants and
agrees with each Lender that so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect
and until the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest
on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Loan
Document shall have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have been
canceled or have expired and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed
in full, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, each of
Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Borrowers will, and will cause each of
the ERISA Affiliates and Subsidiaries to:

         SECTION 5.01. Existence; Businesses and Properties. (a) Do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and
effect its legal existence, except as otherwise expressly permitted under
Section 6.05, and except for the liquidation or dissolution of Subsidiaries if
the assets of such Subsidiaries to the extent they exceed estimated liabilities
are acquired by a Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of a Borrower in such
liquidation or dissolution, provided that Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties may
not be liquidated into Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties and domestic
Subsidiaries may not be liquidated into Foreign Subsidiaries.

         (b) Do or cause to be done all things necessary to (i) obtain,
preserve, renew, extend and keep in full force and effect the permits,
franchises, authorizations, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary to the normal
conduct of its business, (ii) comply in all material respects with all material
applicable laws, rules, regulations (including any zoning, building, ordinance,

agreements affecting the Mortgaged Properties and judgments, writs, injunctions,
decrees and orders of any Governmental Authority, whether now in effect or
hereafter enacted and (iii) at all times maintain and preserve all property
necessary to the normal conduct of its business and keep such property in good
repair, working order and condition and from time to time make, or cause to be
made, all needful and proper repairs, renewals, additions, improvements and

connection therewith, if any, may be properly conducted at all times (in each
case except as expressly permitted by this Agreement).

         SECTION 5.02. Insurance. (a) Keep its insurable properties insured at
all times by financially sound and reputable insurers in such amounts as shall
be customary for similar businesses and maintain such other reasonable insurance
(including, to the extent consistent with past practices, self-insurance), of
such types, to such extent and against such risks, as is customary with
companies in the same or similar businesses and maintain such other insurance as
may be required by law or any other Loan Document.




                                                                             116


         (b) Cause all such property and casualty insurance policies with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties to be endorsed or otherwise amended to
include a "standard" or "New York" lender's loss payable endorsement, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, which endorsement shall provide that, from and after the
Closing Date, if the insurance carrier shall have received written notice from
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of the occurrence of an Event
of Default, the insurance carrier shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to
the U.S. Borrower or the Loan Parties under such policies directly to the
Collateral Agent; cause all such policies to provide that neither the U.S.
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other party
shall be a coinsurer thereunder and to contain a "Replacement Cost Endorsement",
without any deduction for depreciation, and such other provisions as the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably (in light of a
Default or a material development in respect of the insured Mortgaged Property)
require from time to time to protect their interests; deliver original or
certified copies of all such policies or a certificate of an insurance broker to
the Collateral Agent; cause each such policy to provide that it shall not be
canceled, modified or not renewed upon less than 30 days' prior written notice
thereof by the insurer to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent;
deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, prior to the
cancelation, modification or nonrenewal of any such policy of insurance, a copy

previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent), or
insurance certificate with respect thereto, together with evidence satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of payment of the premium
therefor.

         (c) If at any time the area in which the Premises (as defined in the
Mortgages) are located is designated a "flood hazard area" in any Flood
Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any
successor agency), obtain flood insurance in such reasonable total amount as the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably
require, and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set
forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as it may be amended from
time to time.

         (d) With respect to each Mortgaged Property, carry and maintain
comprehensive general liability insurance including the "broad form CGL
endorsement" and coverage on an occurrence basis against claims made for
personal injury (including bodily injury, death and property damage) and
umbrella liability insurance against any and all claims, in each case in amounts
and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the
same or similar industry operating in the same or similar locations naming the
Collateral Agent as an additional insured, on forms reasonably satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent.



                                      117


         (e) Notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly
whenever any separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event
of loss with that required to be maintained under this Section 5.02 is taken out
by Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries; and promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent a duplicate original copy of such policy or policies, or an
insurance certificate with respect thereto.

         (f) In connection with the covenants set forth in this Section 5.02, it
is understood and agreed that:

          (i) none of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and their
     respective agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage
     insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this
     Section 5.02, it being understood that (A) the U.S. Borrower and the other
     Loan Parties shall look solely to their insurance companies or any other
     parties other than the aforesaid parties for the recovery of such loss or
     damage and (B) such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation
     against the Agents, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or their agents or
     employees. If, however, the insurance policies do not provide waiver of
     subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then each of
     Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the U.S. Borrower hereby agree, to the
     extent permitted by law, to waive, and to cause each of the Subsidiaries to
     waive, its right of recovery, if any, against the Agents, the Lenders, any
     Issuing Bank and their agents and employees; and

          (ii) the designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage
     by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent under this Section 5.02
     shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by the
     Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that such
     insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of Holdings,
     Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries or the
     protection of their properties.

         SECTION 5.03. Taxes. Pay and discharge promptly when due all material
Taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon
its income or profits or in respect of its property, before the same shall
become delinquent or in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies or otherwise that, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien
upon such properties or any part thereof; provided, however, that such payment
and discharge shall not be required with respect to any such Tax, assessment,
charge, levy or claim so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and Holdings, Intermediate
Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or the affected Subsidiary, as applicable, shall
have set aside on its books reserves in accordance with GAAP with respect
thereto and such contest effectively suspends collection of the contested
obligation and the enforcement of any Lien securing such obligation.




                                                                             118

     all material respects, the financial position and results of operations of
     the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in
     accordance with GAAP (it being understood that the delivery by the U.S.
     Borrower of Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the U.S. Borrower and its
     consolidated Subsidiaries shall satisfy the requirements of this Section
     5.04(a) to the extent such Annual Reports include the information specified

     preliminary basis in financial statements delivered for the fiscal quarters
     ending in 2003) (it being understood that the delivery by the U.S. Borrower
     of Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the U.S. Borrower and its consolidated
     subsidiaries shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.04(b) to the
     extent such Quarterly Reports include the information specified herein;

     forth computations in reasonable detail satisfactory to the Administrative

     periodic and other publicly available reports, proxy statements and, to the
     extent requested by the Administrative Agent, other materials filed by

     applicable;

          (e) if, as a result of any change in accounting principles and
     policies from those as in effect on the Closing Date, the consolidated
     financial statements of the U.S. Borrower and the Subsidiaries delivered
     pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above will differ in any material respect
     from the consolidated financial statements that would have been delivered

     policies been made, then, together with the first delivery of financial
     statements pursuant to paragraph (a) and (b) above following such change, a

     interest (having the priority required by this Agreement or the relevant
     Security Document) in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby,
     except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results
     from the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of
     certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under
     the Collateral Agreements or to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation
     statements and except to the extent that such loss is covered by a lender's

     Subsidiary to be invalid or to cease, to be legal, valid and binding

     terms;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to a Borrower
described in paragraph (h) or (i) above), and at any time thereafter during the
continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the
Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers, take any or all of the
following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the
Commitments, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and
payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to
be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid
accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and
under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any
other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding and (iii) demand cash
collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j); and in any event with respect to a
Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) above, the Commitments shall
automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together
with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other
liabilities of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan
Document, shall automatically become due and payable and the Administrative
Agent shall be deemed to have made a demand for cash collateral to the full
extent permitted under Section 2.05(j), without presentment, demand, protest or
any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the
contrary notwithstanding.

         Exclusion of Immaterial Subsidiaries. Solely for the purposes of
determining whether a Default has occurred under clause (h) or (i) of Section
7.01, any reference in any such clause to any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to
include any Subsidiary affected by any event or circumstance referred to in any
such clause that did not, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the U.S.
Borrower most recently ended, have assets with a value in excess of 5.0% of the
Consolidated Total Assets or 5.0% of total revenues of the U.S. Borrower and the
Subsidiaries as of such date, provided that if it is necessary to exclude more
than one Subsidiary from clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 pursuant to this
Section 7.02 in order to avoid an Event of Default thereunder, all excluded
Subsidiaries shall be considered to be a single consolidated Subsidiary for
purposes of determining whether the condition specified above is satisfied.

         SECTION 7.03. U.S. Borrower's Right to Cure. (a) Financial Performance
Covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01,
in the event that the U.S. Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of



                                      150


any Financial Performance Covenant, until the expiration of the 10th day
subsequent to the date the certificate calculating such Financial Performance
Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c), Holdings shall
have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive
cash contributions to the capital of Holdings, and, in each case, to contribute
any such cash to the capital of Intermediate Holdings (which shall contribute
all such cash to the capital of the U.S. Borrower) (collectively, the "Cure
Right"), and upon the receipt by U.S. Borrower of such cash (the "Cure Amount")
pursuant to the exercise by Holdings of such Cure Right such Financial
Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro
forma adjustments:

          (i) EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of measuring the
     Financial Performance Covenants and not for any other purpose under this
     Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and

          (ii) If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the U.S.
     Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of all Financial
     Performance Covenants, the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied
     the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenants as of the relevant
     date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no
     failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or
     default of the Financial Performance Covenants that had occurred shall be
     deemed cured for this purposes of the Agreement.

         (b) Limitation on Exercise of Cure Right. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, (a) in each four-fiscal-quarter period there shall be at
least one fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (b) in each
eight-fiscal-quarter period, there shall be a period of at least four
consecutive fiscal quarters during which the Cure Right is not exercised and (c)
in each 12-month period, the sum of all Cure Amounts contributed to the U.S.
Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall not exceed $200,000,000.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

portion of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents, all rights and
remedies in respect of such Collateral shall be controlled by the Collateral

         (b) Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by
any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or
be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the

Documents or other instruments or agreements. The Agents shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written
instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders and all the Ancillary

persons. Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall have any responsibility to any Borrower or any other
Loan Party or any other party hereto on account of the failure, delay in
performance or




                                                                             152

Lender or Issuing Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender,
Ancillary Lender or Issuing Bank on account of the failure of or delay in
performance or breach by any other Lender, Ancillary Lender or Issuing Bank or
any Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of their respective obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or
therewith. Each Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through
agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal
counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall
not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance
with the advice of such counsel.

         SECTION 8.02. Nature of Duties. The Lenders and the Ancillary Lenders
hereby acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any duty to take any
discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required
Lenders. The Lenders and the Ancillary Lenders further acknowledge and agree
that so long as an Agent shall make any determination to be made by it hereunder
or under any other Loan Document in good faith, such Agent shall have no
liability in respect of such determination to any person. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth
herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
Each Lender recognizes and agrees that the Co-Syndication Agents and the
Documentation Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender or Ancillary Lenders, and shall have no functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities for acting as the Co-Syndication Agents or as
a Documentation Agent hereunder.

         SECTION 8.03. Resignation by the Agents. Subject to the appointment and

time by notifying the Lenders and the U.S. Borrower. Upon any such resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the
consent of the U.S. Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by
the U.S. Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after
the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders and the Ancillary Lenders with the consent of the U.S.
Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Agent
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York and an office in
London, England (or a bank having an Affiliate with such an office) having a
combined capital and surplus having a Dollar Equivalent that is not less than
$500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Agent and





                                                                             153


the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 9.05 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 Agent.

         SECTION 8.04. Each Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to
the Loans made by it hereunder and Ancillary Facilities made available by it
pursuant to Section 2.22, each Agent in its individual capacity and not as Agent
shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not an Agent, and the Agents and their Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business
with any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if
it were not an Agent.

         SECTION 8.05. Indemnification. Each Lender and each Ancillary Lender
agrees (a) to reimburse the Agents, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata
share (based on its Commitments hereunder (or if such Commitments shall have
expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts
of its applicable outstanding Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as
applicable)) of any reasonable expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders
and Ancillary Lenders by the Agents, including counsel fees and compensation of
agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders and
Ancillary Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower and
(b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share,
from and against any and all liabilities, Taxes, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or
omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to
the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower,
provided that no Lender or Ancillary Lender shall be liable to an Agent for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents.

         SECTION 8.06. Lack of Reliance on Agents. Each Lender and each
Ancillary Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Agents, any Lender or any Ancillary Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Ancillary Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Agents, any other Lender or any Ancillary Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.




                                                                             154


         Designation of Affiliates for Foreign Currency Loans. The
Administrative Agent shall be permitted from time to time to designate one of
its Affiliates to perform the duties to be performed by the Administrative Agent
hereunder with respect to Loans and Borrowings denominated in Foreign Currencies
and Foreign Currency Letters of Credit. The provisions of this Article VIII
shall apply to any such Affiliate mutatis mutandis.

thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the
Borrowers, each Issuing Bank, the Agents and each Lender and their respective
permitted successors and assigns.

         SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of any





                                                                             156


Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than
pursuant to a merger permitted by Section 6.05(b) or 6.05(i), no Borrower may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or
transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder
except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants
(to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, each
Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or by reason of this Agreement.

         (b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below,
any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

          (A) the U.S. Borrower; provided that no consent of the U.S. Borrower
     shall be required for (1) an assignment of a Term Loan to a Lender, an
     Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if an Event of Default has
     occurred and is continuing, an assignment of any Loan to any assignee
     (provided that any liability of the Borrowers to an assignee that is an
     Approved Fund or Affiliate of the assigning Lender under Section 2.15, 2.17
     or 2.21 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been
     payable thereunder by such Borrower in the absence of such assignment); and

          (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the
     Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Term Loan to
     a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund immediately prior to
     giving effect to such assignment.

         (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
conditions:

          (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
     Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
     of the assigning Lender's Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the
     assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date
     the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered
     to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000, in the
     case of Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Loans denominated in
     Dollars and Tranche A-1 Term Loans, (y) the smallest amount of the
     applicable Foreign




                                                                             157


     Currency that is a multiple of 1,000,000 units of such Foreign Currency and
     has a Dollar Equivalent in excess of $5,000,000, in the case of Tranche D-2
     Term Loans and Global Revolving Facility Loans denominated in a Foreign
     Currency and (z) $1,000,000, in the case of Tranche D-1 Term Loans, unless
     each of the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent;
     provided that no such consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required if an
     Event of Default under paragraph (b), (c), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has
     occurred and is continuing;

          (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
     proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
     under this Agreement;

          (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
     Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a
     processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

          (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
     Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

          (E) no assignment of Global Revolving Facility Loans or Global
     Revolving Facility Commitments shall be permitted to be made to an assignee
     that cannot make Global Revolving Facility Loans in Dollars and each of the
     Foreign Currencies.

         For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term "Approved Fund" shall
have the following meaning:

         "Approved Fund" shall mean any person (other than a natural person)
that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and
similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is
administered or managed by a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an entity or an
Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

         (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph
(b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this




                                                                             158


Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

         (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the U.S. Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal
amount of the Loans and L/C Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, and the U.S. Borrower, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and
the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the U.S. Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

         (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

         (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the U.S. Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all
or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the
Agents, each Issuing Bank 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in Section 9.04(a)(i) or clauses (i) (disregarding for this purpose
the parenthetical contained therein), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the
first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to
paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each of the Borrowers agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the





                                                                             159


benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a
Lender.

         (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the U.S.
Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless
the U.S. Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with
Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

         (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of
such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of
a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

         SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including documentary Taxes) incurred by
the Agents in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, or by the Agents in connection with the syndication of the
Commitments or the administration of this Agreement (including expenses incurred
in connection with due diligence and initial and ongoing Collateral examination
to the extent incurred with the reasonable prior approval of the U.S. Borrower
and the reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges for no more than one
counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or in connection with
any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or
incurred by the Agents, any Lender or any Ancillary Lender in connection with
the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made, the Ancillary
Facilities made available pursuant to Section 2.22 or the Letters of Credit
issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel (including the
reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel if a Lender elects to use
internal counsel in lieu of outside counsel) for the Agents, any Issuing Bank,
any Lender or any Ancillary Lender (but no more than one such counsel for any
Lender or any Ancillary Lender).




                                                                             160


         (b) The U.S. Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agents, each Issuing
Bank, each Lender, each Ancillary Lender and each of their respective directors,
trustees, officers, employees and agents (each such person being called an
"Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby,
(ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit or
(iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result primarily from
the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee (treating, for this
purpose only, any Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, any Ancillary Lender and
any of their respective Related Parties as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the U.S. Borrower
agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses,
including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way
connected with, or as a result of (A) any Environmental Claim related in any way
to Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened
Release of Hazardous Materials on any Property or any property owned, leased or
operated by any predecessor of Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S.
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, provided that such indemnity shall not, as
to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related
Parties. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on
behalf of any Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Ancillary Lender. All
amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

         (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the U.S. Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action for
which indemnification is sought hereunder with counsel of its choice at its
expense (in which case the U.S. Borrower shall not thereafter be responsible for
the fees and expenses of





                                                                             161


any separate counsel retained by an Indemnitee except as set forth below);
provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to each
such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the U.S. Borrower's election to assume the
defense of such action, each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense of such action, and the U.S. Borrower
shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if
(i) the use of counsel chosen by the U.S. Borrower to represent such Indemnitee
would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or
potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the U.S.
Borrower and such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or
additional to those available to the U.S. Borrower (in which case the U.S.
Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense or such action on behalf
of such Indemnitee); (iii) the U.S. Borrower shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee to represent it within a reasonable
time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the U.S. Borrower
shall authorize such Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at the U.S.
Borrower's expense. The U.S. Borrower will not be liable under this Agreement
for any amount paid by an Indemnitee to settle any claims or actions if the
settlement is entered into without the U.S. Borrower's consent, which consent
may not be withheld or delayed unless such settlement is unreasonable in light
of such claims or actions against, and defenses available to, such Indemnitee.

         (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.05, this
Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes, it being understood that the U.S.
Borrower's only obligations with respect to Taxes shall arise under Sections
2.15 and 2.17.

         SECTION 9.06. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Ancillary
Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such
Ancillary Lender to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, Intermediate
Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the
obligations of Holdings or the U.S. Borrower now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, such Issuing Bank
or such Ancillary Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such
Issuing Bank or such Ancillary Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Ancillary
Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of set-off) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such
Ancillary Lender may have.

         SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE





                                                                             162


CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the
Agents, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Ancillary Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, each Issuing Bank, the
Lenders and each Ancillary Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, any
Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, any
Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

         (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any
provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the
case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrowers and the Required
Lenders, (y) in the case of any Ancillary Facility Document, pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and (z) in
the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by each party thereto and the Collateral Agent and
consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement
shall (i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final
maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C
Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the
Commitment Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender without
the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) extend or waive any Installment
Date or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C
Disbursement is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely
affected thereby, (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.18(b) or (c)
in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments
required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely
affected thereby, (v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the
definition of "Required Lenders", "Majority Lenders" or any other provision
hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders or Ancillary Lenders
required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent
of each Lender or Ancillary Lender adversely affected thereby (it being
understood that, with the consent of the Required




                                                                             163


Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be
included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same
basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Restatement Effective
Date), (vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release any of
Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or any Subsidiary Loan Party from its Guarantee
under the U.S. Collateral Agreement or the Foreign Guarantee, as applicable,
unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or substantially all the
Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party is sold or otherwise disposed of
in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent
of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (vii) effect any waiver, amendment or
modification that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of
payments or collateral of Lenders participating in any Facility differently from
those of Lenders participating in other Facilities, without the consent of the
Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility or (viii)
change the relative rights in respect of payments or collateral of the Lenders
participating in different Facilities or Ancillary Facilities without the
consent of the Majority Lenders participating in each adversely affected
Facility and each adversely affected Ancillary Lender; provided, further, that
no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties
of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such
at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be
bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08
and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any
assignee of such Lender.

         SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all
fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law
(collectively, the "Charges"), as provided for herein or in any other document
executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received,
taken or reserved by any Lender, any Ancillary Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall
exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") that may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all
Charges payable to such Lender, such Ancillary Lender or such Issuing Bank,
shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, provided that such excess amount shall be
paid to such Lender, such Ancillary Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent
payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

         SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein
constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject
matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than
the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities
under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.




                                                                             164


         SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF,
UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

         SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor
in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

         SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which,
when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become
effective as provided in Section 9.03.

         SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

         SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of
Holdings and each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State
court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City,
and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or,
to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties
hereto




                                                                             165


agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
right that any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Ancillary Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents against Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, any Borrower or any Loan
Party or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

         (b) Each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

         SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, each Issuing Bank,
each Ancillary Lender and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in
confidence any information relating to Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the U.S.
Borrower and the other Loan Parties furnished to it by or on behalf of Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or the other Loan Parties (other than
information that (a) has become generally available to the public other than as
a result of a disclosure by such party, (b) has been independently developed by
such Lender, such Issuing Bank, such Ancillary Lender or such Agent without
violating this Section 9.16 or (c) was available to such Lender, such Issuing
Bank, such Ancillary Lender or such Agent from a third party having, to such
person's knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings, Intermediate
Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party) and shall not reveal the
same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors
with a need to know or to any person that approves or administers the Loans on
behalf of such Lender or the Ancillary Facility on behalf of such Lender (so
long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same
confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), except: (A) to the extent
necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any
Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or
of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any
Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (B) as part of normal
reporting or review procedures to Governmental Authorities or the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners, (C) to its parent companies, Affiliates
or auditors (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the
same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (D) in order to enforce
its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (E) to any prospective
assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this

counterparty's



                                                                             166


professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional
advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section).

         SECTION 9.17. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of
obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing
hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including
any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first
currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day
immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

         (b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any
party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the "Applicable
Creditor") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment
Currency") other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due
hereunder (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that, on
the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase
the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers
contained in this Section 9.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

         [Intentionally Omitted].

                         Ancillary Facility Adjustments

         Exchange of Interests in Ancillary Facilities. (a) On the CAM Exchange
Date and immediately prior to the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to the
CAM Exchange as provided in Section 11.01(a)(ii):

          (i) the principal amount of each Global Revolving Facility Loan
     denominated in a Foreign Currency and of each Ancillary Credit Extension
     shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into
     the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rates calculated as of
     the CAM Exchange Date, of such amount and, subject to Section 11.01(a)(iv),
     on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to any Lender or any
     Ancillary Lender





                                                                             167


     in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at
     the rates otherwise applicable hereunder;

          (ii) in the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Unfunded Ancillary
     Credit Extension (in respect of which cash collateral shall not have
     previously been deposited pursuant to Section 2.22(e)) shall exist, or the
     applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall have failed to reimburse a
     disbursement made by the applicable Ancillary Lender, the applicable
     Ancillary Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in
     immediately available funds, an amount in Dollars equal to such Unfunded
     Ancillary Credit Extension or unreimbursed disbursement, together with
     interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which such
     amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be
     applicable at the time to an ABR Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal
     to such Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension or unreimbursed disbursement.
     The Administrative Agent shall establish an account (the "Unfunded
     Ancillary Credit Extension Account") and shall deposit all amounts received
     pursuant to the previous sentence and all amounts of cash collateral
     previously deposited pursuant to Section 2.22(e) in the Unfunded Ancillary
     Credit Extension Account pending application of such amounts pursuant to
     Section 11.02. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and
     control over the Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension Account; and

          (iii) there shall be a deemed buying and selling of interests (without
     regard to Section 9.04) in the outstanding Global Revolving Facility Loans
     and Ancillary Credit Extensions by the Global Revolving Facility Lenders
     (and each Global Revolving Facility Lender shall promptly make payment
     therefor to the Administrative Agent in the same manner as provided in
     Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Global Revolving Facility
     Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such payment
     obligations of such Global Revolving Facility Lender) for distribution to
     the applicable Global Revolving Facility Lenders) such that, after giving
     effect to such deemed buying and selling of interests, each Global
     Revolving Facility Lender holds its ratable share of the Global Revolving
     Facility Loans (based on the respective Global Revolving Facility
     Commitments of the Global Revolving Facility Lenders immediately prior to
     the CAM Exchange Date) of each outstanding Global Revolving Facility Loan
     and each Ancillary Credit Extension.

         SECTION 11.01. Implementation of CAM. (a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i)
the Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated as





                                                                             168


provided in Section 7.01, (ii) each Global Revolving Facility Lender shall
immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor
to the Applicable Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(c)) participations in
the Swingline Loans (other than any Swingline Foreign Currency Loan in respect
of which Global Revolving Facility Lenders have funded their purchase of
participations pursuant to Section 2.04(c)) in an amount equal to such Global
Revolving Facility Lender's ratable share (based on the respective Global
Revolving Facility Commitments of the Global Revolving Facility Lenders
immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date) of each Swingline Foreign Currency
Loan outstanding on such date, (iii) each U.S. Revolving Facility Lender shall
immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor
to the Applicable Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(c)) participations in
the Swingline Dollar Loans (other than any Swingline Dollar Loan in respect of
which the U.S. Revolving Facility Lenders have funded their purchase of
participations pursuant to Section 2.04(c)) in an amount equal to such U.S.
Revolving Facility Lender's U.S. Revolving Facility Percentage of each Swingline
Dollar Loan outstanding on such date, (iv) simultaneously with the automatic
conversions pursuant to clause (v) below, the Lenders shall automatically and
without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.04) be
deemed to have exchanged interests in the Loans (other than the Swingline
Loans), Funded Ancillary Credit Extensions and participations in Unfunded
Ancillary Credit Extensions, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit, such that in
lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Loan, Letter of Credit and Ancillary
Credit Extension in which it shall participate as of such date (including such
Lender's interest in the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such
Loan, Letter of Credit and Ancillary Credit Extension), such Lender shall hold
an interest in every one of the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and
Funded Ancillary Credit Extensions and a participation in every one of the
Swingline Loans, Letters of Credit and Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extensions
(including the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan and
Ancillary Credit Extension and each Reserve Account established pursuant to
Section 11.02 below), whether or not such Lender shall previously have
participated therein, equal to such Lender's CAM Percentage thereof and (v)
simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (iv)
above, (A) in the case of the CAM Euro Lenders, the interest in the Loans and
Funded Ancillary Credit Extensions denominated in a currency other than Euros to
be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further
action required, be converted into the Euro Equivalent, determined using the
Exchange Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such
date all amounts accruing and owed to the CAM Euro Lenders in respect of such
Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Euros at the rates otherwise
applicable hereunder and (B) in the case of the CAM Dollar Lenders, the
interests in the Loans and Funded Ancillary Credit Extensions to be received in
such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required,
be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate
calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all
amounts accruing and owed to the CAM Dollar Lenders in respect of such
Obligation shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise
applicable hereunder. Each Lender and each Loan Party hereby





                                                                             169


consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM
Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any person that
acquires a participation in its interests in any Loan or Ancillary Credit
Extension. Each Loan Party agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and
documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and
confirm the respective interests of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM
Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally
received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative
Agent against delivery of any promissory notes evidencing its interests in the
Loans and Funded Ancillary Credit Extensions so executed and delivered;
provided, however, that the failure of any Loan Party to execute or deliver or
of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall
not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

         (b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange
Date, each payment received by the Applicable Agent or the Collateral Agent
pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations, and each
distribution made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Security Document in
respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by
a Lender upon or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in
respect of an Obligation shall be paid over to the Applicable Agent for
distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

         SECTION 11.02. Letters of Credit and Unfunded Ancillary Credit
Extensions. (a) In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit
shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any L/C Disbursement
shall not have been reimbursed either by an Applicant Party or, in the case of
any L/C Disbursement made in Dollars, with the proceeds of a U.S. Revolving
Facility Borrowing or Swingline Dollar Borrowing, each U.S. Revolving Facility
Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately
available funds, an amount in Dollars equal to such U.S. Revolving Facility
Lender's U.S. Revolving Facility Percentage of such undrawn face amount (or, in
the case of any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of such
face amount) or (to the extent it has not already done so) such unreimbursed
drawing, as applicable, together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange
Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent
at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an ABR Revolving Loan in a
principal amount equal to such undrawn face amount or unreimbursed drawing, as
applicable. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account (each, a
"Reserve Account") or accounts for each Lender for the amounts received with
respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence The
Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender's Reserve Account such
Lender's CAM Percentage of (x) the amounts received from the Revolving Credit
Lenders as provided above and (y) the amounts on deposit in the Unfunded
Ancillary Credit Extension Account. The Administrative Agent shall have sole
dominion and control over each Reserve Account,




                                                                             170


and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall be held in such Reserve
Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) below. The
Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts
paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter
of Credit and Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension and the amounts on deposit in
respect of each Letter of Credit and Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension
attributable to each Lender's CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender's
Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the Revolving L/C Exposures
and payment obligations in respect of Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extensions,
shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise
to any claim of or against any Loan Party and shall not give rise to any
obligation on the part of the U.S. Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it
being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of (x) Letters of
Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as
provided in Section 2.05, and (y) disbursements under any Ancillary Facility
shall arise only at such time as payments are required under such Ancillary
Facility.

         (b) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be
made in respect of a Letter of Credit or any payment shall be made in respect of
an Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension, the Administrative Agent shall, at the
request of the applicable Issuing Bank or Ancillary Lender, as applicable,
withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount
of such Lender's CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect
of such Letter of Credit or Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension and remaining on
deposit and deliver such amounts, in the case of a Letter of Credit, to such
Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the U.S.
Revolving Facility Lenders under Section 2.05(d) (but not of the U.S. Borrower
under Section 2.05(e)) or, in the case of an Unfunded Ancillary Credit
Extension, to the applicable Ancillary Lender. In the event that any U.S.
Revolving Facility Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount
to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 11.02, the applicable
Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such U.S. Revolving Facility Lender to
the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section
2.05(d), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such
defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the applicable
Borrower's reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 11.01. Each other
Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting U.S. Revolving Facility Lender
for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the
event that such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the
defaulted amount.

         (c) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit
shall expire undrawn, or an Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension shall expire
without requiring payment, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the
Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in
respect of such Letter of Credit, or Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension, as
applicable, and distribute such amount to such Lender.




                                                                             171


         (d) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (not to
be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its
Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit or
Unfunded Ancillary Credit Extension. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall
be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing
under such Letter of Credit or payment in respect of an Unfunded Ancillary
Credit Extension, to pay over to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Issuing Bank or Ancillary Lender, as applicable, on demand, its CAM
Percentage of such drawing or payment.

         (e) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its
Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative
Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the
Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest
such amounts in Permitted Investments. Each Lender that has not withdrawn its
amounts in its Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the
right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to
withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with
amounts in its Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

         SECTION 11.03 Existing Credit Agreement; Effectiveness of Second
Amendment and Restatement. Until this Agreement becomes effective in accordance
with the terms of the Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the Existing
Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected
hereby. After the Restatement Effective Date, all obligations of the Borrowers
under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder, secured by the Security Documents, and the provisions of the Existing
Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions hereof.
