anticipates will be received from ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇., (ii) amounts received by the
Borrower as a reimbursement for expenses incurred by the Borrower on behalf

federal, state or local tax refunds, the Borrower shall make a mandatory
prepayment of the Secured Obligations in an amount equal to one-hundred
(100%) of the amount so received ("TAX PREPAYMENTS").

(e) Nothing in this SECTION 2.5(B)(i) shall be construed to
constitute the Lenders' consent to any transaction referred to in CLAUSES
(a) through (c) above which is not expressly permitted by the terms of this
Agreement.

(f) Each mandatory prepayment required by CLAUSES (a) through (d) of
this SECTION 2.5(B) shall be referred to herein as a "DESIGNATED
PREPAYMENT". Designated Prepayments shall be paid to the Collateral Agent
for application in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Sharing
Agreement. Proceeds from Designated Prepayments paid by the Collateral
Agent to the Agent shall be allocated and applied in the following order of
priority so long as (1) no Default has occurred hereunder, (2) no Event of
Default (as defined in the Master Note Agreement) has occurred under the
Master Note Agreement and (3) no "Agreement Default" (as defined in the
Collateral Sharing Agreement) has occurred under the terms of any agreement
governing any other Priority Obligations:

(I) ratably to the accrued and unpaid interest on the
Supplemental Loans, interest on the Reimbursement Obligations and
to accrued and unpaid fees on account of Letters of Credit;

(II) ratably to the unpaid principal amount of the Supplemental
Loans and to principal on the Reimbursement Obligations (which
prepayment, other than as a result of a Tax Prepayment, shall result
in a permanent reduction by such amount in the Aggregate Supplemental
Loan Commitment and ratably to each Lender's Supplemental Loan
Commitment);

(III) to the extent any L/C Obligations are contingent,
deposited with the Agent as cash collateral in respect of such L/C
Obligations; and

(IV) to the other Secured Obligations in the order set forth in
the Collateral Sharing Agreement;

PROVIDED, if such Designated Prepayment is made after the occurrence and
during the continuance of any such Default, Event of Default or other
"Agreement Default" (as defined in the Collateral Sharing Agreement), such
Designated Prepayment shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the
Collateral Sharing Agreement.

(ii) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS OF SUPPLEMENTAL LOANS. In addition to
repayments under SECTION 2.5(B)(i), if at any time and for any reason the (a)
the Supplemental Credit Obligations exceed the Aggregate Supplemental Commitment
or (b) the sum of (i) the Existing Obligations, (ii) the Supplemental Credit
Obligations and (iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Notes
exceed either the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Amount, the Borrower shall
immediately make a mandatory prepayment of the Supplemental Credit Obligations
(or if the Supplemental Obligations have been paid in full, the other Secured
Obligations) in an amount equal to such excess. In addition, if Supplemental
Credit Availability is at any time less than the amount of contingent L/C
Obligations outstanding at any time, the Borrower shall deposit cash collateral
with the Agent in an amount equal to the amount by which such L/C Obligations
exceed such Supplemental Credit Availability.

2.6 REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS. The Borrower may permanently reduce the
Aggregate Supplemental Loan Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the
Lenders, in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of

the Aggregate Supplemental Loan Commitment is reduced in whole), upon at least
one Business Day's written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify the
amount of any such reduction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount of the
Aggregate Supplemental Loan Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Supplemental Credit Obligations. In
addition, the Aggregate Supplemental Loan Commitment shall be automatically
reduced in connection with Designated Prepayments on the terms set forth in
SECTION 2.5 above.

2.7 METHOD OF BORROWING. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on each
Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Supplemental Loan, in funds

of the making of the applicable Supplemental Advance (or from the Effective Date
for the Existing Obligations) or incurrence of the Obligation to (but not
including) the date of repayment thereof at the Floating Rate, changing when and
as such Floating Rate changes. Changes in the rate of interest on the
Obligations will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate
Base Rate.

2.9 MINIMUM AMOUNT OF EACH SUPPLEMENTAL ADVANCE. Each Supplemental
Advance (other than a Supplemental Advance to repay a Reimbursement Obligation)
shall be in the minimum amount of $250,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in

amount of the remaining Supplemental Credit Availability.

2.10 [Intentionally Blank]

2.11 DEFAULT RATE. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default, at the option of the Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders,
the interest rate(s) applicable to the Obligations and the fees payable under

2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date when due and shall be made ratably among
the Lenders (unless such amount is not to be shared ratably in accordance with
the terms hereof). Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any
Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to

such Lender in the same type of funds which the Agent received at its address
specified pursuant to ARTICLE XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a
notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Borrower authorizes the
Agent to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with First Chicago for
each payment of principal, interest, fees, commissions and L/C Obligations as it
becomes due hereunder.

2.13 NOTES. Each Lender is authorized to record the principal amount of
each of its Loans and each repayment with respect to its Loans on the schedule
attached to its respective Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to so
record shall not affect the Borrower's obligations under any such Note.

2.14 TELEPHONIC NOTICES. The Borrower authorizes the Lenders and the
Agent to extend Supplemental Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic
notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith
believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to deliver
promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer,
if such confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic
notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the
action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, (i) the telephonic notice shall
govern absent manifest error and (ii) the Agent or the Lender, as applicable,
shall promptly notify the Authorized Officer who provided such confirmation of
such difference.

2.15 PROMISE TO PAY; INTEREST; INTEREST PAYMENT DATES; INTEREST AND FEE
BASIS; TAXES; LOAN AND CONTROL ACCOUNTS.

(A) PROMISE TO PAY. The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay when due
the principal amount of each Loan and all other Obligations incurred by it, and
to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Notes.

(B) INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be
payable on each Payment Date, commencing with April 15, 1998 and at maturity
(whether by acceleration or otherwise). Interest accrued on the principal
balance of all other Obligations shall be payable in arrears (i) on the last day
of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the
incurrence of such Obligation, (ii) upon repayment thereof in full or in part,
and (iii) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation
becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(i) CLOSING FEE. On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the
Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares,
a closing fee in the amount set forth in SECTION 1 of SCHEDULE 2.15 to the
Disclosure Letter.

(ii) DEFERRED CLOSING FEE. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the
Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares,
a deferred closing fee at the times and in the amounts set forth in SECTION 2 of
SCHEDULE 2.15 to the Disclosure Letter.

(iii) DEFERRED FACILITY FEE. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the
Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares,
a deferred facility fee at the times and in the amounts set forth in SECTION 3
of SCHEDULE 2.15 to the Disclosure Letter.

(iv) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the sole account of the
Agent and the Arranger (unless otherwise agreed between the Agent and the
Arranger and any Lender) the fees set forth in the letter agreement between the

amounts set forth therein.

(D) INTEREST AND FEE BASIS. Interest and fees shall be calculated for
actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable
for the day an Obligation is incurred but not for the day of any payment on the
amount paid if payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at the
place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan or any
payment of any other Obligations shall become due on a day which is not a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be
included in computing interest, fees and commissions.

(E) TAXES.

(i) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings or any liabilities with respect
thereto including those arising after the date hereof as a result of the
adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or
determination of a Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or
application thereof by a Governmental Authority but excluding, in the case of
each Lender and the Agent, such taxes (including income taxes, franchise taxes
and branch profit taxes) as are imposed on or measured by such Lender's or
Agent's, as the case may be, income by the United States of America or any
Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender
or Agent, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a Lending Installation
(all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings, and liabilities which the Agent or a Lender determines to be
applicable to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Supplemental Loan
Commitments, the Loans or the Letters of Credit being hereinafter referred to as
"TAXES"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to any
Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary
so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.15(E)) such Lender or the Agent (as
the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and
(iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If a
withholding tax of the United States of America or any other Governmental
Authority shall be or become applicable (y) after

the date of this Agreement, to such payments by the Borrower made to the Lending
Installation or any other office that a Lender may claim as its Lending
Installation, or (z) after such Lender's selection and designation of any other
Lending Installation, to such payments made to such other Lending Installation,
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make, fund and maintain its Loans
through another Lending Installation of such Lender in another jurisdiction so
as to reduce the Borrower's liability hereunder, if the making, funding or
maintenance of such Loans through such other Lending Installation of such Lender
does not, in the judgment of such Lender, otherwise adversely affect such Loans,
or obligations under the Supplemental Loan Commitments or such Lender.

(ii) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp
or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar
levies which arise from any payment made hereunder, from the issuance of Letters
of Credit hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Supplemental Loan Commitments, the Loans or the Letters of Credit (hereinafter
referred to as "OTHER TAXES").

(iii) The Borrower indemnifies each Lender and the Agent for the full
amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this
SECTION 2.15(E)) paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any
liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days
after the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written
demand therefor. A certificate as to any additional amount payable to any
Lender or the Agent under this SECTION 2.15(E) submitted to the Borrower and the
Agent (if a Lender is so submitting) by such Lender or the Agent shall show in
reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine such
amount and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon
all parties hereto. With respect to such deduction or withholding for or on
account of any Taxes and to confirm that all such Taxes have been paid to the
appropriate Governmental Authorities, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any
event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt) furnish to each Lender and
the Agent such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be required (in
the judgment of such Lender or the Agent) to establish any tax credit to which
such Lender or the Agent may be entitled.

(iv) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(v) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
this SECTION 2.15(E) shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this
Agreement.

(vi) Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under this SECTION
2.15(E), each Lender that is not created or organized under the laws of the
United States of America or a political subdivision thereof shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Agent on or before the Effective Date, or, if later, the date
on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to SECTION 13.3, a true and
accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such
Lender, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent, to the effect that
such Lender is capable under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty
concluded by the United States of America (in which case the certificate shall
be accompanied by two executed copies of Form 1001 of the IRS) or under SECTION
1442 of the Code (in which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two
copies of Form 4224 of the IRS) of receiving payments of interest hereunder
without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. Each such
Lender further agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent from time to time
a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized
officer of such Lender substantially in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and
the Agent, before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrower
and the Agent pursuant to this SECTION 2.15(E)(vi). Further, each Lender which
delivers a certificate accompanied by Form 1001 of the IRS covenants and agrees
to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent within fifteen (15) days prior to
January 1, 1998, and every third (3rd) anniversary of such date thereafter on
which this Agreement is still in effect, another such certificate and two
accurate and complete original signed copies of Form 1001 (or any successor form
or forms required under the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated
thereunder), and each Lender that delivers a certificate accompanied by Form
4224 of the IRS covenants and agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent
within fifteen (15) days prior to the beginning of each subsequent taxable year
of such Lender during which this Agreement is still in effect, another such
certificate and two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form
4224 (or any successor form or forms required under the Code or the applicable
regulations promulgated thereunder). Each such certificate shall certify as to
one of the following:

(a) that such Lender is capable of receiving payments of
interest hereunder without deduction or withholding of United States
of America federal income tax;

(b) that such Lender is not capable of receiving payments of
interest hereunder without deduction or withholding of United States
of America federal income tax as specified therein but is capable of
recovering the full amount of any such deduction or withholding from a
source other than the Borrower and will not seek any such recovery
from the Borrower; or

(c) that, as a result of the adoption of or any change in any
law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or determination of a
Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or
application thereof by a Governmental Authority after the date such
Lender became a party hereto, such Lender is not capable of receiving
payments of interest hereunder without deduction or withholding of
United States of America federal income tax as specified therein and
that it is not capable of recovering the full amount of the same from
a source other than the Borrower.

Each Lender shall promptly furnish to the Borrower and the Agent such additional
documents as may be reasonably required by the Borrower or the Agent to
establish any exemption from or reduction of any Taxes or Other Taxes required
to be deducted or withheld and which may be obtained without undue expense to
such Lender.

(F) LOAN ACCOUNT. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts (a "LOAN ACCOUNT") evidencing the Obligations of
the Borrower to such Lender owing to such Lender from time to time, including
the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder and under the Notes.

(G) CONTROL ACCOUNT. The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to
SECTION 13.3(C) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for
each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date
and amount of each Supplemental Advance, (ii) the effective date and amount of
each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and the parties
thereto pursuant to SECTION 13.3, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest
due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender
hereunder or under the Notes, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent
from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share thereof, and (v) all other
appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, all fees, charges, expenses and interest.

(H) ENTRIES BINDING. The entries made in the Register and each Loan
Account shall be presumptive evidence, absent manifest error, unless the
Borrower objects in writing to information contained in the Register and each
Loan Account within sixty (60) days of the Borrower's receipt of such
information in written form.

2.16 NOTIFICATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL ADVANCES, INTEREST RATES, PREPAYMENTS
AND AGGREGATE SUPPLEMENTAL LOAN COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS. Promptly after receipt
thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate
Supplemental Loan Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, and repayment
notice received by it hereunder. The Agent will give each Lender prompt notice
of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.17 LENDING INSTALLATIONS. Each Lender may book its Loans or Letters of
Credit at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its
Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply
to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each
Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by
written or facsimile notice to the Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending
Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan
payments and/or payments of L/C Obligations are to be made.

2.18 NON-RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE AGENT. Unless the Borrower or a Lender,
as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is
scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the
proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal,
interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not
intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been
made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such
payment available to the

intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the
Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent,
the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent
the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each
day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available
by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum
equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective
Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the Floating
Rate.

2.19 TERMINATION DATE. This Agreement shall be effective until the later
to occur of the Existing Loan Termination Date and the Supplemental Loan
Termination Date. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all
of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been
fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied, all financing arrangements among the
Borrower and the Lenders shall have been terminated and all of the Letters of
Credit shall have expired, been canceled or terminated, all of the rights and
remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive and the
Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be entitled to retain its security interest
in and to all existing and future Collateral for the benefit of itself and the
Holders of Secured Obligations.

2.20 REPLACEMENT OF CERTAIN LENDERS. In the event a Lender ("AFFECTED
LENDER") shall have: (i) failed to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Supplemental
Advance requested by the Borrower, or to fund a Supplemental Advance in order to
repay Reimbursement Obligations, which such Lender is obligated to fund under
the terms of this Agreement and which failure has not been cured, (ii) requested
compensation from the Borrower under SECTIONS 2.15(E), 4.1 or 4.2 to recover
Taxes, Other Taxes or other additional costs incurred by such Lender which are
not being incurred generally by the other Lenders or (iii) has invoked SECTION
10.2, then, in any such case, the Borrower or the Agent may make written demand
on such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Agent in the case of a demand by the
Borrower and a copy to the Borrower in the case of a demand by the Agent) for
the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall use its best
efforts to assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignments Agreements
five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more financial
institutions that comply with the provisions of SECTION 13.3(A) which the
Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, shall have engaged for such purpose
("REPLACEMENT LENDER"), all of such Affected Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, its Supplemental Loan Commitment, all Loans owing to it, all of its
participation interests in existing Letters of Credit, and its obligation to
participate in additional Letters of Credit hereunder) in accordance with
SECTION 13.3. The Agent agrees, upon the occurrence of such events with respect
to an Affected Lender and upon the written request of the Borrower, to use its
reasonable efforts to obtain the commitments from one or more financial
institutions to act as a Replacement Lender. The Agent is authorized to execute
one or more of such assignment agreements as attorney-in-fact for any Affected
Lender failing to execute and deliver the same within five (5) Business Days
after the date of such demand. Further, with respect to such assignment the
Affected Lender shall have concurrently received, in cash, all amounts due and
owing to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
including, without limitation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the
date of such assignment, amounts payable under SECTIONS 2.15(E),

4.1, and 4.2 with respect to such Affected Lender and compensation payable under
SECTION 2.15(C) in the event of any replacement of any Affected Lender under
CLAUSE (ii) of this SECTION 2.20; PROVIDED that upon such Affected Lender's
replacement, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of SECTIONS 2.15(E), 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, and
10.7, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid,
and shall continue to be obligated under SECTION 11.8. Upon the replacement of
any Affected Lender pursuant to this SECTION 2.20, the provisions of SECTION 9.2
shall continue to apply with respect to Loans which are then outstanding with
respect to which the Affected Lender failed to fund its Pro Rata Share and which
failure has not been cured.

2.21 COLLECTION ACCOUNT ARRANGEMENTS. (a) All collections of
Receivables included in the Collateral and other proceeds of Collateral
shall be deposited in (i) a deposit account with the Agent over which the
Collateral Agent has dominion and control following a Collection Account
Blockage Date or (b) a Collection Account with any other financial
institution which is subject to a Collection Account Agreement or pursuant
to another similar arrangement for the collection of such amounts
established by the Borrower or SEI, as applicable, and the Collateral
Agent, and all amounts in such accounts shall be transferred in accordance
with the provisions of the respective Collection Account Agreements. The
Borrower and SEI shall at all times maintain lock-box services agreements
with the Collateral Agent or banks which are parties to Collection Account
Agreements and to which lock-boxes Account Debtors with respect to the
Borrower's or SEI's Receivables shall directly remit all payments on
Receivables. Any of the foregoing collections received by the Borrower or
SEI and not so deposited, shall be deemed to have been received by the
Borrower or SEI, as applicable, as the Collateral Agent's trustee and, upon
such entity's receipt thereof, the Borrower shall or shall cause SEI to
immediately transfer all such amounts into a Collection Account in their
original form. Such deposits in the Collection Accounts shall be remitted
to the Collateral Agent, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or as the
Collateral Agent may direct, all in accordance with the provisions of the
Collection Account Agreements.

(b) Following the Collection Account Blockage Date and during the
continuance of a Default giving rise thereto, (i) all payments received by
the Collateral Agent, all collections of Receivables included in the
Collateral received by the Collateral Agent, and all proceeds of other
Collateral received by the Collateral Agent, whether through payment or
otherwise, will be the sole property of the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations and will be deemed received
by the Collateral Agent for application to the Secured Obligations in
accordance with the terms of the Collateral Sharing Agreement, and amounts
received by the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Sharing
Agreement for application to the Obligations will be deemed received by the
Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the Collateral Sharing Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Security Agreement to
the contrary, the Borrower shall have a period of 30 days following the
date hereof to (i) enter into a Collection Account Agreement with
Centennial Bank, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Existing Obligations, (ii) the Supplemental Credit Obligations and
(iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Notes at such
time would exceed the Borrowing Base at such time, (c) the sum of (i)
the Existing Obligations, (ii) the Supplemental Credit Obligations and
(iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Notes at such
time would exceed the Maximum Amount at such time, or (d) the
aggregate outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed
$5,000,000; or

(ii) issue any Letter of Credit which has an expiration date
later than the date which is the earlier of one (1) year after the
date of issuance thereof or five (5) Business Days immediately
preceding the Supplemental Loan Termination Date.

3.3 CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO LETTERS OF CREDIT. In addition to being
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in SECTIONS 5.1 and 5.2,
the obligation of an Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit is subject to
the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

(i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the applicable Issuing
Bank at such times and in such manner as such Issuing Bank may
reasonably prescribe, a request for issuance of such Letter of Credit
in substantially the form of EXHIBIT D hereto, duly executed
applications for such Letter of Credit, and such other documents,
instructions and agreements as may be required pursuant to the terms
thereof, and the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably
satisfactory to such Issuing Bank as to form and content; and

(ii) as of the date of issuance no order, judgment or decree of
any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its
terms to enjoin or restrain the applicable Issuing Bank from issuing
such Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to
such Issuing Bank and no request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over
such Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that such Issuing Bank
refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the
issuance of that Letter of Credit.

3.4 PROCEDURE FOR ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT. (a) Subject to the
terms and conditions of this ARTICLE III and provided that the applicable
conditions set forth in SECTIONS 5.1 and 5.2 hereof have been satisfied, the
applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit
on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Bank's usual and
customary business practices and, in this connection, such Issuing Bank may
assume that the applicable conditions set forth in SECTION 5.2 hereof have been
satisfied unless it shall have received notice to the contrary from the Agent or
a Lender or has knowledge that the applicable conditions have not been met.

(b) The applicable Issuing Bank shall give the Agent written or telex
notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to provide
such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of such Issuing Bank.

(c) No Issuing Bank shall extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless the
requirements of this SECTION 3.4 are met as though a new Letter of Credit was
being requested and issued.

3.5 PARTICIPATION IN LETTERS OF CREDIT. Immediately upon the issuance of
each Letter of Credit hereunder, each Lender shall be deemed to have
automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the
applicable Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in and to each
such Letter of Credit, the obligations of the Borrower in respect thereof, and
the liability of such Issuing Bank thereunder ( a "L/C INTEREST") in an amount
equal to the amount available for drawing under such Letter of Credit multiplied
by such Lender's Pro Rata Share. The applicable Issuing Bank shall give to each
Lender notice in the event that the Borrower fails to reimburse the applicable
Issuing Bank with respect to any L/C Draft or any other draw on a Letter of
Credit pursuant to the provisions SECTION 3.6, and each Lender shall promptly
and unconditionally pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing
Bank, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of the amount of such payment or draw. The obligation of each Lender to
reimburse the Issuing Banks under this SECTION 3.5 shall be unconditional,
continuing, irrevocable and absolute. In the event that any Lender fails to
make payment to the Agent of any amount due under this SECTION 3.5, the Agent
shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the
principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the
Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise
fully satisfied; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing contained in this sentence
shall relieve such Lender of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing
Bank for such amount in accordance with this SECTION 3.5.

3.6 REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION. The Borrower agrees unconditionally,
irrevocably and absolutely to pay immediately to reimburse the applicable
Issuing Bank for the amount of each drawing under or pursuant to a Letter of
Credit or an L/C Draft related thereto (such obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the Agent for an advance made under a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft
being hereinafter referred to as a "REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION" with respect to
such Letter of Credit or L/C Draft), each such reimbursement to be made by the
Borrower no later than the Business Day on which the applicable Issuing Bank
makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, in the case of any other draw on a
Letter of Credit, the date specified in the demand of such Issuing Bank. If the
Borrower at any time fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to this
SECTION 3.6, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to borrow Supplemental
Loans from the Lenders, as of the date of the advance giving rise to the
Reimbursement Obligation, equal in amount to the amount of the unpaid
Reimbursement Obligation. Such Supplemental Loans shall be made as of the date
of the payment giving rise to such Reimbursement Obligation, automatically,
without notice and without any requirement to satisfy the conditions precedent
otherwise applicable to a Supplemental Advance. The proceeds of such
Supplemental Loans shall be used to repay such Reimbursement Obligation. If,
for any reason, the Borrower fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation on the
day such Reimbursement Obligation arises and, for any reason, the Lenders are
unable to make or have no obligation to make Supplemental Loans, then such
Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from and after such day, until paid
in full, at the Floating Rate applicable to Supplemental Loans.

3.7 LETTER OF CREDIT FEES. The Borrower agrees to pay:

(i) monthly, in arrears, to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders, except as set forth in SECTION 9.2, a letter of credit fee at a
rate per annum equal to one and three-quarters percent (1.75%) on the
average daily outstanding face amount available for drawing under all
Letters of Credit;

(ii) monthly, in arrears, to the Agent for the sole account of each
Issuing Bank, a letter of credit fronting fee at such percentage rate as
may be agreed between the Borrower and each Issuing Bank on the average
daily outstanding face amount available for drawing under all Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; and

(iii) to the Agent for the benefit of each Issuing Bank, all
customary fees and other issuance, amendment, document examination,
negotiation and presentment expenses and related charges in connection with
the issuance, amendment, presentation of L/C Drafts, and the like
customarily charged by such Issuing Banks with respect to standby and
commercial Letters of Credit, including, without limitation, standard
commissions with respect to commercial Letters of Credit, payable at the
time of invoice of such amounts.

3.8 ISSUING BANK REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. In addition to the notices
required by SECTION 3.4(b), each Issuing Bank shall, no later than the tenth
Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Agent, upon
the Agent's request, schedules, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Agent, showing the date of issue, account party, amount, expiration date and
the reference number of each Letter of Credit issued by it outstanding at any
time during

such month and the aggregate amount payable by the Borrower during such month.
In addition, upon the request of the Agent, each Issuing Bank shall furnish to
the Agent copies of any Letter of Credit and any application for or
reimbursement agreement with respect to a Letter of Credit to which the Issuing
Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the
Agent. Upon the request of any Lender, the Agent will provide to such Lender
information concerning such Letters of Credit.

3.9 INDEMNIFICATION; EXONERATION. (A) In addition to amounts payable as
elsewhere provided in this ARTICLE III, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect,
indemnify, pay and save harmless the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender
from and against any and all liabilities and costs which the Agent, such Issuing
Bank or such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or
indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than, in the case of
the applicable Issuing Bank, as a result of its Gross Negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of the applicable Issuing Bank to honor a
drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether
rightful or wrongful, of any present or future DE JURE or DE FACTO Governmental
Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called "GOVERNMENTAL ACTS").

(B) As among the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and the Issuing Banks,
the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of such
Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letters of Credit. In furtherance
and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter
of Credit applications and Letter of Credit reimbursement agreements executed by
the Borrower at the time of request for any Letter of Credit, neither the Agent,
any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be responsible (in the absence of Gross
Negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith, as determined by the
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction): (i) for the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of
the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon
such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or
other similar form of teletransmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in
interpretation of technical trade terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the
misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any
drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising
from causes beyond the control of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders,
including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall
affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank's rights or powers
under this SECTION 3.9.

(C) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific
provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing
Bank under or in connection

with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates shall not, in the absence
of Gross Negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction, put the applicable Issuing Bank, the Agent
or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the
Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

(D) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
this SECTION 3.9 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this
Agreement.

3.10 CASH COLLATERAL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or
in any application for a Letter of Credit, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default, the Borrower shall, upon the Agent's demand, deliver
to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, cash, or
other collateral of a type satisfactory to the Required Lenders, having a value,
as reasonably determined by such Lenders, equal to the aggregate outstanding L/C
Obligations. In addition, if the Supplemental Credit Availability is at any
time less than the amount of contingent L/C Obligations outstanding at any time,
the Borrower shall deposit cash collateral with the Agent in an amount equal to
the amount by which such L/C Obligations exceed such Supplemental Credit
Availability. Any such collateral shall be held by the Agent in a separate
account appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in relation to
this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and retained by the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks as collateral security for the
Borrower's obligations in respect of this Agreement and each of the Letters of
Credit and L/C Drafts. Such amounts shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing
Banks for drawings or payments under or pursuant to Letters of Credit or L/C
Drafts or if no such reimbursement is required, to payment of such of the other
Secured Obligations as the Agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of
the Collateral Sharing Agreement. If no Default shall be continuing, amounts
remaining in any cash collateral account established pursuant to this SECTION
3.10 which are not to be applied to reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts
actually paid or to be paid by such Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of
Credit or L/C Draft, shall be returned to the Borrower (after deduction of the
Agent's expenses incurred in connection with such cash collateral account).

ARTICLE IV: CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1 YIELD PROTECTION. If any law or any governmental or quasi-
governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) adopted after the date of this Agreement and having
general applicability to all banks within the jurisdiction in which such Lender
operates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the effect of and phasing in of
capital requirements or other regulations or guidelines passed prior to the date
of this Agreement), or any interpretation or application thereof by any
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof,
or the compliance of any Lender therewith,

(i) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any
tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the Borrower
(excluding federal

taxation of the overall net income of any Lender or applicable Lending
Installation), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender
in respect of its Loans, its L/C Interests, the Letters of Credit or other
amounts due it hereunder, or

(ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve,
assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation with respect to its
Loans, L/C Interests or the Letters of Credit, or

(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase
the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making,
funding or maintaining the Loans, the L/C Interests or the Letters of
Credit or reduces any amount received by any Lender or any applicable
Lending Installation in connection with Loans or Letters of Credit, or
requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any
payment calculated by reference to the amount of Loans or L/C Interests
held or interest received by it or by reference to the Letters of Credit,
by an amount deemed material by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender of
making, renewing or maintaining its Loans, L/C Interests or Letters of Credit or
to reduce any amount received under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30)
days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to
SECTION 4.5, the Borrower shall, upon receipt of a written statement setting
forth the basis for calculating such additional amounts, pay such Lender that
portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received
which such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining
its Loans, L/C Interests, Letters of Credit and its Supplemental Loan
Commitment.

4.2 CHANGES IN CAPITAL ADEQUACY REGULATIONS. If a Lender determines (i)
the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any
Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
is increased as a result of a "Change" (as defined below), and (ii) such
increase in capital will result in an increase in the cost to such Lender of
maintaining its Loans, L/C Interests, the Letters of Credit or its obligation to
make Loans hereunder, then, within 15 days after receipt by the Borrower of
written demand by such Lender pursuant to SECTION 4.5, the Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of
return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender reasonably
determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans, its L/C Interests, the
Letters of Credit or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into
account such Lender's policies as to capital adequacy). "CHANGE" means (i) any
change after the date of this Agreement in the "Risk-Based Capital Guidelines"
(as defined below) excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the effect of any
phasing in of such Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or any other capital
requirements passed prior to the date hereof, or (ii) any adoption of or change
in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy,
guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
after the date of this Agreement and having general applicability to all banks
and financial institutions within the jurisdiction in which such Lender operates
which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any
Lender or any Lending

Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. "RISK-BASED CAPITAL
GUIDELINES" means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United
States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the
corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside
the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on
Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled "International Convergence
of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards," including transition rules, and
any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

4.4 [Intentionally Blank].

4.5 LENDER STATEMENTS; SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITY. Each Lender requiring
compensation pursuant to SECTION 2.15(E) or to this ARTICLE IV shall use its
reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of any
Change, law, policy, rule, guideline or directive giving rise to such demand for
compensation not later than ninety (90) days following the date upon which the
responsible account officer of such Lender knows or should have known of such
Change, law, policy, rule, guideline or directive. Any demand for compensation
pursuant to this ARTICLE IV shall be in writing and shall state the amount due,
if any, under SECTION 4.1 or 4.2 and shall set forth in reasonable detail the
calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount. Such written demand
shall be rebuttably presumed correct for all purposes. The obligations of the
Borrower under SECTIONS 4.1 and 4.2 shall survive payment of the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement.

In order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement
and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrower and
to issue the Letters of Credit described herein, the Borrower represents and
warrants as follows to each Lender and the Agent as of the Closing Date, and
thereafter on each date as required by SECTION 5.2:

6.1 ORGANIZATION; CORPORATE POWERS. The Borrower, SEI and each of their
respective Material Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (ii) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and
is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which failure to be
so qualified and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own, operate and encumber its

property and to conduct its business as presently conducted and as proposed to
be conducted other than any failure under CLAUSE (i) or (iii) the effect of

the Borrower's business, or the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole or the ability of the Borrower's or its Subsidiaries' ability
to perform their obligations under the Loan Documents.

6.2 AUTHORITY.

(A) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries that is a party thereto has
the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform each
of the Loan Documents.

(B) The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan Documents
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly
approved by the respective boards of directors and, if necessary, the
shareholders of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries that is a party
thereto, and such approvals have not been rescinded. No other corporate action
or proceedings on the part of the Borrower or such Subsidiaries are necessary to
consummate such transactions.

(C) Each of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party has been duly executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally), and no unmatured default, default or breach of any covenant
by any such party exists thereunder.

6.3 NO CONFLICT; GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS. The execution, delivery and
performance of each of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party do not and will not (i) conflict with the certificate or
articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary,
(ii) constitute a tortious interference with any Contractual Obligation of any
Person or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without
notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Requirement of Law
(including, without limitation, any Environmental Property Transfer Act) or
Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, or require
termination of any Contractual Obligation, except such interference, breach,
default or termination which individually or in the aggregate could not

require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any of the
property or assets of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, other than Liens
permitted or created by the Loan Documents, or (v) require any approval of the
Borrower's or any such Subsidiary's Board of Directors or shareholders except
such as have been obtained. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 6.3

to this Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of each of the
Transaction Documents to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a
party do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of,
or notice to, or other action to, with or by any Governmental Authority,
including under any Environmental Property Transfer Act, except filings,
consents or notices which have been made, obtained or given, or which, if not
made, obtained or given, individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.4 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

(A) Attached as EXHIBIT B to the Disclosure Letter are the Borrower's
consolidated unaudited financial statements for the Borrower's fiscal year ended
November 30, 1997. Such historical financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
and fairly present the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
as of the dates thereof and the results of operations for the periods covered
thereby.

(B) The projections and assumptions expressed in the projections attached
as EXHIBIT A to the Disclosure Letter were prepared in good faith and represent
management's opinion based on the information available to the Borrower at the
time so furnished.

6.5 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. Since the Closing Date, there has
occurred no change in the business, properties, condition (financial or
otherwise) or results of operations of the Borrower or the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole or any other event which has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.6 TAXES.

(A) TAX EXAMINATIONS. Except as described in SECTION 4 of the Disclosure
Letter, all material deficiencies which have been asserted against the Borrower
or any of the Borrower's Subsidiaries as a result of any federal, state, local
or foreign tax examination for each taxable year in respect of which an
examination has been conducted have been fully paid or finally settled or are
being contested in good faith, and as of the Closing Date no issue has been
raised by any taxing authority in any such examination which, by application of
similar principles, reasonably can be expected to result in assertion by such
taxing authority of a material deficiency for any other year not so examined
which has not been reserved for in the Borrower's consolidated financial
statements to the extent, if any, required by Agreement Accounting Principles.
Except as permitted pursuant to SECTION 7.2(D), neither the Borrower nor any of
the Borrower's Subsidiaries anticipates any material tax liability with respect
to the years which have not been closed pursuant to applicable law.

(B) PAYMENT OF TAXES. All tax returns and reports of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries required to be filed have been timely filed, and all material
taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges thereupon and upon their
respective property, assets, income and franchises which are shown in such
returns or reports to be due and payable have been paid except those items which
are being contested in good faith and have been reserved for in accordance with

Agreement Accounting Principles. The Borrower has no knowledge of any proposed
tax assessment against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that will have or
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(C) For purposes of this SECTION 6.6, "material" means any noncompliance
or basis for liability which could reasonably be likely to subject the Borrower
or the Borrower's Subsidiaries to liability, individually or in the aggregate
for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000.

6.7 LITIGATION; LOSS CONTINGENCIES AND VIOLATIONS. Except as set forth in
SCHEDULE 6.7 to this Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding,
arbitration or (to the Borrower's knowledge) investigation before or by any
Governmental Authority or private arbitrator pending or, to the Borrower's
knowledge, threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any
property of any of them which will have or could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 6.7, there is no
material loss contingency within the meaning of Agreement Accounting Principles
which has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the
Borrower prepared and delivered pursuant to SECTION 6.4(A) or SECTION 7.1(A) for
the fiscal period during which such material loss contingency was incurred.
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is (A) in violation of any
applicable Requirements of Law which violation will have or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) subject to or in default with
respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, restraining order or order of
any nature, decree, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Authority
which will have or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

6.8 SUBSIDIARIES. SCHEDULE 6.8 to this Agreement (i) contains a
description of the corporate structure of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and any
other Person in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries holds an Equity
Interest; and (ii) accurately sets forth (A) the correct legal name, the
jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdictions in which each of the
Borrower and the direct and indirect domestic Subsidiaries and Material
Subsidiaries which are foreign Subsidiaries of the Borrower is qualified to
transact business as a foreign corporation, (B) for every domestic Subsidiary
and for each foreign Subsidiary which is a Material Subsidiary, the authorized,
issued and outstanding shares of each class of Capital Stock of each of such
Subsidiaries and the owners of such shares (both as of the Closing Date and on a
fully-diluted basis), (C) for each foreign Subsidiary which is not a Material
Subsidiary, the percentage of ownership by the Borrower of such Subsidiary's
Capital Stock, and (D) a summary of the direct and indirect partnership, joint
venture, or other Equity Interests, if any, of the Borrower and each Subsidiary
of the Borrower in any Person that is not a corporation. The outstanding
Capital Stock of the Borrower and each of the Borrower's Material Subsidiaries
is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

6.9 ERISA. Except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 6.9, no Benefit Plan has
incurred any accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in SECTIONS 302(a)(2) of
ERISA and 412(a) of the Code) whether or not waived. Neither the Borrower nor
any member of the Controlled Group has incurred any liability to the PBGC which
remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums, and there are no premium
payments which have become due which are unpaid.

SCHEDULE B to the most recent annual report filed with the IRS with respect to
each Benefit Plan is complete and accurate. Since the date of each such
SCHEDULE B, there has been no material adverse change in the funding status or
financial condition of the Benefit Plan relating to such SCHEDULE B. Neither
the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has (i) failed to make a
required contribution or payment to a Multiemployer Plan or (ii) made a complete
or partial withdrawal under SECTIONS 4203 or 4205 of ERISA from a Multiemployer
Plan. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has failed to
make a required installment or any other required payment under Section 412 of
the Code on or before the due date for such installment or other payment.
Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group is required to
provide security to a Benefit Plan under SECTION 401(a)(29) of the Code due to a
Plan amendment that results in an increase in current liability for the plan
year. Except for benefits provided to a select group of management employees
which in any event are not material, neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to any employee welfare benefit plan
within the meaning of SECTION 3(1) of ERISA which provides benefits to employees
after termination of employment other than as required by Section 601 of ERISA.
Each Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code as
currently in effect is so qualified, and each trust related to any such Plan is
exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code as currently in
effect. The Borrower and all Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material
respects with the responsibilities, obligations and duties imposed on them by
ERISA and the Code with respect to all Plans. Neither the Borrower nor any of
its Subsidiaries nor any fiduciary of any Plan has engaged in a nonexempt
prohibited transaction described in SECTIONS 406 of ERISA or 4975 of the Code
which could reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower to liability in
excess of $1,000,000. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled
Group has taken or failed to take any action which would constitute or result in
a Termination Event, which action or inaction could reasonably be expected to
subject the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to liability, individually or in the
aggregate, in excess of $1,000,000. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is
subject to any liability under SECTIONS 4063, 4064, 4069, 4204 or 4212(c) of
ERISA and no other member of the Controlled Group is subject to any liability
under SECTIONS 4063, 4064, 4069, 4204 or 4212(c) of ERISA which could reasonably
be expected to subject the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to liability,
individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $1,000,000. Neither the Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries has, by reason of the transactions contemplated
hereby, any obligation to make any payment to any employee pursuant to any Plan
or existing contract or arrangement.

6.10 ACCURACY OF INFORMATION. The information, exhibits and reports
(other than those marked "Draft" "Subject to Review" or words of similar intent
or meaning) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower and any of its
Subsidiaries to the Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation
of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents, the representations and warranties
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries contained in the Loan Documents, and all
certificates and documents delivered to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to
the terms thereof, taken as a whole, do not contain as of the date furnished any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

6.11 SECURITIES ACTIVITIES. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of

6.7, has received notice or has knowledge that (i) it is in default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or
conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation applicable to it, or (ii) any
condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default with respect to any such Contractual Obligation, in
each case, except where such default or defaults, if any, individually or in the
aggregate will not have or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

6.13 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in
compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to them and their respective
businesses, in each case where the failure to so comply individually or in the
aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.14 ASSETS AND PROPERTIES. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has
good and marketable title to substantially all of its assets and properties
(tangible and intangible, real or personal) owned by it or a valid leasehold
interest in substantially all of its leased assets (except insofar as
marketability may be limited by any laws or regulations of any Governmental
Authority affecting such assets), and all such assets and property are free and
clear of all Liens, except Liens permitted under SECTION 7.3(C). Substantially
all of the assets and properties owned by, leased to or used by the Borrower
and/or each such Subsidiary of the Borrower are in adequate operating condition
and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Neither this Agreement nor any
other Transaction Document, nor any transaction contemplated under any such
agreement, will affect any right, title or interest of the Borrower or such
Subsidiary in and to any of such assets in a manner that would have or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.15 STATUTORY INDEBTEDNESS RESTRICTIONS. Neither the Borrower nor any of
its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, or the
Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other federal or state statute or
regulation which limits its ability to incur indebtedness or its ability to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

terms of this CLAUSE (F) shall not be applicable to information regarding the

connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this SECTION 7.2(H) shall prevent the
Borrower from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such property
if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Borrower, desirable in the
conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary and not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Agent or the Lenders.

(I) ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 6.18 the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall comply with all Environmental, Health or
Safety Requirements of Law, except where noncompliance will not have or is not

liability, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $5,000,000.

(i) INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS. The Borrower directs (and shall
cause SEI to direct) all insurers under policies of property damage, boiler and

policies or with respect to such claim or award for any loss with respect to the
Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and the Holders of the Secured Obligations. Each such policy shall
contain a long-form loss-payable endorsement naming the Collateral Agent as loss
payee, which endorsement shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Agent. The Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of such proceeds apply such
proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Collateral

Sharing Agreement and upon receipt from the Collateral Agent the Agent shall
apply any amounts received by it as though it was a Designated Prepayment in the
order indicated in SECTION 2.5(B) provided the amount thereof shall not reduce
the Aggregate Supplemental Loan Commitment; PROVIDED, that the Collateral Agent
shall pay to the Borrower or SEI, as applicable, such portion of the proceeds
(up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000) as may be reasonably
necessary to restore or repair the affected business or property which may be
used by the Borrower or SEI for such purposes; PROVIDED FURTHER, however, that
(i) the Collateral Agent shall not pay over such proceeds if a Default has
occurred and (ii) if, after receiving any of such proceeds but prior to
restoring or repairing such affected property or business a Default shall occur,
the Borrower shall pay over (or cause SEI to pay over) such proceeds to the
Collateral Agent for application as though a Designated Prepayment was received.

(ii) INSURANCE REPORTING. Presently the Borrower and SEI maintain their
property insurance programs on a contract year commencing July of each year.

the beginning of the applicable insurance contract year) commencing August 1998,
deliver to the Agent and the Lenders (i) a report in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders outlining all material
property, business interruption and liability insurance coverage maintained as
of the date of such report by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the duration
of such coverage and (ii) a certificate of the chief financial officer or
treasurer of the Borrower that all premiums with respect to such coverage have
been paid when due.

(iii) The Borrower shall maintain for itself and its Subsidiaries, or
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain in full force and effect the
insurance policies and programs listed on SCHEDULE 6.16 to this Agreement or
substantially similar policies and programs or other policies and programs as
reflect coverage that is reasonably consistent with prudent industry practice.
The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent endorsements (y) to all "All Risk"
physical damage insurance policies on all of the tangible real and personal
property and assets constituting part of the Collateral and business
interruption insurance policies naming the Collateral Agent loss payee, and (z)
to all general liability and other liability policies naming the Collateral
Agent an additional insured. In the event the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain
any of the policies or insurance required herein or to pay any premium in whole
or in part relating thereto, then the Agent, without waiving or releasing any
obligations or resulting Default hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter
(but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain and maintain such policies of
insurance and pay such premiums and take any other action with respect thereto
which the Agent deems advisable. All sums so disbursed by the Agent shall
constitute part of the Secured Obligations, payable as provided in this
Agreement and the Collateral Sharing Agreement.

(L) POST-CLOSING EFFORTS. The Borrower and SEI shall use their reasonable
best efforts during the period from the date hereof through the date that is 30

(x) amend SECTION 7.3(F)(ii), SECTION 7.3(N) or the terms of any of
CLAUSES (a), (b) or (e) of SECTION 7.5.

(xi) amend any indemnity provision of the Credit Agreement, Loan
Documents, Master Note Agreement or other related documents, instruments or
agreements.

(xii) amend SECTION 6.4 or 6.10 of this Agreement or consent to any
waiver of any Default as a result of a material misrepresentation under
such Sections or any "Event of Default" under the Master Note Agreement as
a result of a material misrepresentation under SECTION 2.4 or SECTION 2.5
of the Master Note Agreement; or

(xiii) waive any Default occurring under CLAUSES (F), (G) or (I) of
SECTION 8.1 of this Agreement or CLAUSES (f), (g), or (i) of SECTION 12.1.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to (a) the Agent shall
be effective without the written consent of the Agent or (b) the Issuing Banks
shall be effective without the written consent of the Issuing Banks. The Agent
may waive payment of the fee required under SECTION 13.3(B) without obtaining
the consent of any of the Lenders.

9.4 PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the
Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or
be construed to be a waiver of any

Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan or the issuance of
a Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability
of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan or issuance of
such Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any
single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or
other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents
whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Required Creditors
required pursuant to SECTION 9.3, and then only to the extent in such writing
specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law
afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent and the
Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE X: GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. All representations and warranties of
the Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive delivery of the Notes and
the making of the Loans herein contemplated.

10.2 GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the
Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any
applicable statute or regulation.

10.3 PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The Borrower agrees that the Agent or
Collateral Agent may, but shall have no obligation to (i) at any time, pay or
discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or
placed on or threatened against any Collateral and (ii) after the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Default make any other payment or perform any
act required of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Loan
Document or take any other action which the Agent in its discretion deems
necessary or desirable to protect or preserve the Collateral, including,
without limitation, any action to (y) effect any repairs or obtain any
insurance called for by the terms of any of the Loan Documents and to pay all
or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof and (z) pay any
rents payable by the Borrower which are more than 30 days past due, or as to
which the landlord has given notice of termination, under any lease. The
Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to give the Borrower notice of any
action taken under this SECTION 10.3 prior to the taking of such action or
promptly thereafter provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the Borrower's obligations in respect thereof. The Agent shall use its
reasonable efforts to give the Lenders notice of any action taken under this
SECTION 10.3 prior to the taking of such action or promptly thereafter and
shall obtain the consent of the Required Lenders to any such action which
involves amounts in excess of $50,000; provided the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the Lenders' obligations in respect thereof for
amounts under $50,000 for which the Lenders have not received such notice or
shall not have provided consent. The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent, upon
demand, the principal amount of all funds advanced by the Agent (in its
capacity as Agent or Collateral Agent) under this SECTION 10.3, together with
interest thereon at the rate from time to time applicable to the Supplemental
Loans from the date of such advance until the outstanding principal balance
thereof is paid in full. If the Borrower fails to make payment in respect of
any such advance under this SECTION 10.3

within three (3) Business Days after the date the Borrower receives written
demand therefor from the Agent, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
and each Lender agrees, subject to the third sentence of this SECTION 10.3,
that it shall thereupon make available to the Agent, in Dollars in
immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share
of such advance. If such funds are not made available to the Agent by such
Lender within one (1) Business Day after the Agent's demand therefor, the
Agent will be entitled to recover any such amount from such Lender together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during
the period commencing on the date of such demand and ending on the date such
amount is received. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent
its Pro Rata Share of any such unreimbursed advance under this SECTION 10.3
shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make
available to the Agent such other Lender's Pro Rata Share of such advance on
the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other
Lender to make such payment to the Agent. All outstanding principal of, and
interest on, advances made under this SECTION 10.3 shall constitute
Obligations secured by the Collateral until paid in full by the Borrower.

10.4 HEADINGS. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience
of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the
provisions of the Loan Documents.

10.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding among the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings among the Borrower, the Agent and the
Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof.

10.6 SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS; BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT. The respective
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender
shall be the partner or agent of any other Lender (except to the extent to which
the Agent or Collateral Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any
Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be
construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the
parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

10.7 EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION.

(A) EXPENSES. The Borrower shall reimburse the Agent, Collateral Agent,
the Arranger and the Lenders for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-
of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and
time charges of attorneys and paralegals, which attorneys and paralegals may be
employees of the Agent, Collateral Agent, Arranger or Lender) paid or incurred
by the Agent, Collateral Agent, Arranger or the Lenders in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents. The
Borrower shall reimburse the Agent, Collateral Agent and the Arranger (but not
the Lenders) for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket

Agent, Collateral

Agent or Arranger in connection with the syndication, review, amendment,

agrees to reimburse the Agent, Collateral Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders
for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and time charges of
attorneys and paralegals for the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arranger
and the Lenders, which attorneys and paralegals may be employees of the

the Agent or Collateral Agent, promptly after request therefor, for each
audit, or other business analysis performed by or for the benefit of the
Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in an
amount equal to the Agent's or Collateral Agent's then reasonable customary
charges for each person employed to perform such audit or analysis (which
charges may be based upon internal charges if employees of the Agent or its
Affiliates are utilized or which may be based upon the amount charges to the
Agent or Collateral Agent if an third party performs the work) (provided, the
Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the Agent in an amount in excess
of $25,000 in connection with reviews conducted during any consecutive
twelve-month period which are conducted at a time when no Default has
occurred under the Credit Agreement), PLUS all reasonable costs and expenses
(including without limitation, reasonable travel expenses) incurred by the
Agent or Collateral Agent (or their agents) in the performance of such audit
or analysis. The Agent, Collateral Agent, Arranger or Lender requesting
reimbursement under this SECTION 10.7(A) shall provide the Borrower (with a
copy to the Agent) with a detailed statement of all reimbursements requested
under this SECTION 10.7(A).

(B) INDEMNITY. The Borrower further agrees to defend, protect, indemnify,
and hold harmless the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arranger and each and all
of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of such
Agent's, Collateral Agent's, Arranger's, Lender's, or Affiliate's respective
officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted
satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE V) (collectively, the
"INDEMNITEES") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, reasonable costs and
expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection
with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not
such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by,
or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out
of:

(i) this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any act, event or
transaction related or attendant thereto or to the making of the Loans, and
the issuance of and participation in Letters of Credit hereunder, the
management of such Loans or Letters of Credit, the use or intended use of
the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any of the
other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; or

(ii) any liabilities, obligations, responsibilities, losses, damages,
personal injury, death, punitive damages, economic damages, consequential
damages, treble damages, intentional, willful or wanton injury, damage or
threat to the environment, natural resources or public health or welfare,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney,
expert and consulting fees and costs of investigation, feasibility or

interest, direct or indirect, known or unknown, absolute or contingent,
past, present or future relating to violation of any Environmental, Health
or Safety Requirements of Law arising from or in connection with the past,

their respective predecessors in interest, or, the past, present or future
environmental, health or safety condition of any respective property of the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the presence of asbestos-containing materials
at any respective property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the
Release or threatened Release of any Contaminant into the environment
(collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED MATTERS");

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee
hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters arising from and to the extent
caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or Gross Negligence of such
Indemnitee or breach of contract by such Indemnitee with respect to the Loan
Documents, in each case, as determined by the final non-appealed judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction. If the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is
violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum
portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the
payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

(C) WAIVER OF CERTAIN CLAIMS; SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS. The Borrower further
agrees to assert no claim against any of the Indemnitees on any theory of
liability seeking consequential, special, indirect, exemplary or punitive
damages in an amount which exceeds $100,000. No settlement shall be entered
into by the Borrower or any if its Subsidiaries with respect to any claim,
litigation, arbitration or other proceeding relating to or arising out of the
transactions evidenced by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (whether or
not the Agent or any Lender or any Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such
settlement releases all Indemnitees from any and all liability with respect
thereto.

ARTICLE XI: THE AGENT

11.1 APPOINTMENT; NATURE OF RELATIONSHIP. The First National Bank of
Chicago is appointed by the Lenders as the Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent
under the Collateral Documents and the Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as
applicable, under each other Loan Document. References to the Agent in this
ARTICLE XI shall include references to the Agent in its capacity as Collateral
Agent. Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as the
contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Agent agrees to act as
such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this
ARTICLE XI. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term "Agent" or "Collateral
Agent'" it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any
fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement and that
the Agent is merely acting as the representative of the Lenders with only those
duties as are expressly set forth

in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders'
contractual representative, the Agent (i) does not assume any fiduciary duties
to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a "representative" of the Lenders within the
meaning of SECTION 9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as
an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the
Lenders agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any
other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each
Lender waives.

11.2 POWERS. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the
Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each
thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Agent shall have no implied duties or fiduciary duties to the Lenders, or any
obligation to the Lenders to take any action hereunder or under any of the other
Loan Documents except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents
required to be taken by the Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent is
hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents and the
Collateral Sharing Agreement, in each case, in substantially the same form as
last distributed to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date and shall be
authorized to enter into amendments thereto on behalf of each of the Lenders
upon the direction of or with the consent of the Required Creditors. Each
Lender authorizes the Agent to enter, as Collateral Agent, into each of the
Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated
by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have the right
individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral
Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be
exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders of
Secured Obligations upon the terms of the Collateral Documents.

11.3 GENERAL IMMUNITY. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or
any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder
or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except
to the extent such action or inaction is found in a final judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have arisen from and to the extent of the Gross
Negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents by such Person.

11.4 NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOANS, CREDITWORTHINESS, COLLATERAL, RECITALS,
ETC. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan
Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any
of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document; (iii) the
satisfaction of any condition specified in ARTICLE V, except receipt of items
required to be delivered solely to the Agent; (iv) the existence or possible
existence of any Default or Unmatured Default or (v) the validity, effectiveness
or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished
in connection therewith. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for
any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents, for the perfection or priority of any of the Liens on any
of the Collateral, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
legality, enforceability, collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions

contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any guarantor of any or
all of the Obligations, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

11.5 ACTION ON INSTRUCTIONS OF REQUIRED CREDITORS. The Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and
under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by
the Required Creditors, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Agent shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under
any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction
by the Lenders (and, if applicable the Noteholder) pro rata against any and all
liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing
to take any such action.

11.6 EMPLOYMENT OF AGENTS AND COUNSEL. The Agent may execute any of its
duties as the Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through
employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the
Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized
agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Agent and the Lenders
and all matters pertaining to the Agent's duties hereunder and under any other
Loan Document; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, it is expressly understood and agreed that the
expense reimbursement provisions of SECTION 10.7(A) shall not be applicable to
the expenses for such counsel to the extent such expenses do not arise out of
any action or omission on the part of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
any request of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents.

11.7 RELIANCE ON DOCUMENTS; COUNSEL. The Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to
legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel
may be employees of the Agent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, it is expressly understood and
agreed that the expense reimbursement provisions of SECTION 10.7(A) shall not be
applicable to the expenses for counsel rendering such opinion to the extent it
relates to matters other than resulting from any action or omission on the part
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any request of the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.

11.8 THE AGENT'S REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to
reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Pro
Rata Shares (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the
Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents,
(ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and
enforcement of the Loan Documents and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out
of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or
the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms
thereof

or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-
appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the
Gross Negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent.

11.9 RIGHTS AS A LENDER. With respect to its Supplemental Loan
Commitment, Loans made by it, Letters of Credit issued by it and the Notes
issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and
under any other Loan Document as any Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the
same as through it were not the Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders,"
"Issuing Bank" or "Issuing Banks" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates,
include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent may accept deposits
from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or
other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which such
Person is not prohibited hereby from engaging with any other Person.

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

11.11 SUCCESSOR AGENT. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and
the Lenders, a successor Agent (which successor Agent shall also succeed to the
position of Collateral Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within thirty days after the retiring Agent's giving notice of resignation, then
the retiring Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a
successor Agent and Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, each such
successor Agent shall be subject to approval by the Borrower, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such successor Agent shall be a
commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent hereunder (and Collateral
Agent under the other Loan Documents) by a successor Agent, such successor Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and Collateral Agent, and the
retiring Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring
Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent and/or Collateral Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

11.12 Collateral Documents. Each Lender authorizes the Agent as
Collateral Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a
party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees
that no Lender shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the
security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that
such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations upon the terms of the Collateral
Documents.

ARTICLE XII: SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

12.1 SETOFF. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the
Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, any
indebtedness from any Lender to the Borrower (including all account balances,
whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) may be
offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender,
whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.

12.2 RATABLE PAYMENTS. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has
payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to
SECTIONS 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any
other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of
the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will
hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with
setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives
collateral or other protection for its Obligation or such amounts which may be
subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action
necessary such that all Holders of Secured Obligations share in the benefits of
such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them. In case
any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate
further adjustments shall be made.

12.3 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 9.2,
the Agent shall, unless otherwise specified at the direction of the Required
Lenders which direction shall be consistent with the last sentence of this
SECTION 12.3, apply all payments and prepayments in respect of any Obligations
and all proceeds of Collateral in respect of the Obligations in the following
order:

(A) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of
the Loans which the Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for
which the Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the
Borrower;

(B) second, to pay interest on and then principal of any advance made
under SECTION 10.3 for which the Agent has not then been paid by the
Borrower or reimbursed by the Lenders;

(C) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expense
reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Agent or Collateral Agent;

(D) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expenses,
reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the issuer(s) of
Letters of Credit;

(E) fifth, to pay interest and fees in respect of Supplemental Loans,
Credit Support Obligations, Letters of Credit and other Priority
Obligations;

(F) sixth, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal
outstanding on the Priority Obligations;

(G) seventh, to provide required cash collateral, if required pursuant
to SECTION 3.10 and

(H) eighth, to the ratable payment of all Ratable Obligations as
provided in the Collateral Sharing Agreement.

The order of priority set forth in this SECTION 12.3 and the related provisions
of this Agreement and the Collateral Sharing Agreement are set forth solely to
determine the rights and priorities of the Agent, the Lenders, the issuer(s) of
Letters of Credit as among themselves or between such parties and the
Noteholder. The order of priority set forth in CLAUSES (D) through (H) of this
SECTION 12.3 may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Required
Creditors without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the
Borrower, or any other Person. The order of priority set forth in CLAUSES (A)
through (C) of this SECTION 12.3 may be changed only with the prior written
consent of the Agent.

12.4 RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS.

(A) Except with respect to the exercise of set-off rights of any Lender in
accordance with SECTION 12.1, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance
with this Agreement and the Collateral Sharing Agreement, and except as set
forth in the following sentence, each Lender agrees that it will not take any
action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or any
other obligor hereunder or with respect to any Collateral or any Loan Document,
including, without limitation, under the Collateral Documents or the Collateral
Sharing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Required Creditors
or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, at the
direction of the Agent.

(B) The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be
liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in
case of the Agent or Collateral Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.
The Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce on
the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such
principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII: BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

13.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms and provisions of the Loan
Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arranger, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and
their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not
have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and
(ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3
hereof. Notwithstanding CLAUSE (ii) of this SECTION 13.1, any Lender may at any
time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, assign all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve
Bank; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such assignment shall release the transferor
Lender from its obligations hereunder. The Agent may treat the payee of any
Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee
complies with SECTION 13.3 hereof in the case of an assignment thereof or, in
the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with
the Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to
be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive
and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of
any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

13.2 PARTICIPATIONS.

(A) PERMITTED PARTICIPANTS; EFFECT. Subject to the terms set forth in
this SECTION 13.2, any Lender (including any Lender which becomes a party hereto
in connection with an assignment permitted pursuant to SECTION 13.3) may, in the
ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any
time sell to one or more banks or other entities (collectively, "PARTICIPANTS")
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such
Lender, any Supplemental Loan Commitment of such Lender, any L/C Interest of
such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents on a
pro rata or non-pro rata basis. Notice of such participation to the Borrower
and the Agent shall be required prior to any participation becoming effective
with respect to a Participant which is not a Holder of Secured Obligations or an
Affiliate thereof. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating
interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents
shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain
the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all
amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if
such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the
Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents except that,
for purposes of ARTICLE IV hereof, the Participants shall be entitled to the
same rights as if they were Lenders.

(B) VOTING RIGHTS. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve,
without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or
waiver with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit or Supplemental Loan
Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal,
interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement with respect to any such Loan, Letter of Credit or
Supplemental Loan

Commitment, postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of
principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan, Letter of Credit or
Supplemental Loan Commitment, or releases all or substantially all of the
Collateral, if any, securing any such Loan or Letter of Credit. In the event
any Lender desires to sell a participation and grant to the Participant any
greater voting rights than set forth above, it shall not be permitted to do so
without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(C) BENEFIT OF SETOFF. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
deemed to have the right of setoff provided in SECTION 12.1 hereof in respect to
its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it
as a Lender under the Loan Documents, PROVIDED that each Lender shall retain the
right of setoff provided in SECTION 12.1 hereof with respect to the amount of
participating interests sold to each Participant except to the extent such
Participant exercises its right of setoff. The Lenders agree to share with each
Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in
SECTION 12.1 hereof, agrees to share with each Lender (and, if applicable under
the Collateral Sharing Agreement, the Noteholder), any amount received pursuant
to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance
with SECTION 12.2 hereof and SECTION 8 of the Collateral Sharing Agreement as if
each Participant were a Lender.

13.3 ASSIGNMENTS.

(A) PERMITTED ASSIGNMENTS. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of this
SECTION 13.3, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, its Supplemental Loan Commitment, all
Loans owing to it, all of its participation interests in existing Letters of
Credit and its obligation to participate in additional Letters of Credit
hereunder) as follows:

(i) at any time to one or more of the Holders of Secured Obligations
(or an Affiliate thereof) or one or more Eligible Assignees;

(ii) at any time to one or more Persons consented to by the
Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(iii) following the occurrence of a Transfer Default or at any
time after November 30, 1998, to any other banks or other entities (the
purchasing entities under clauses (i) through (iii) being herein
collectively, the "PURCHASERS").

Each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of
all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Such
assignment shall be substantially in the form of EXHIBIT E hereto and shall not
be permitted hereunder unless such assignment is either for all of such Lender's
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents or, without the prior written
consent of the Agent, involves loans and commitments in an aggregate amount of
at least $5,000,000 (which minimum amount may be waived by the Required
Lenders).

The consent of the Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming
effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate
thereof.

(B) EFFECT; EFFECTIVE DATE. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of a notice of
assignment, substantially in the form attached as APPENDIX I to EXHIBIT E hereto
(a "NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT"), together with any consent required by SECTION
13.3(A) hereof, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Agent for processing
such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date
specified in such Notice of Assignment. The Notice of Assignment shall contain
a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration
used to make the purchase of the Commitment, Loans and L/C Obligations under the
applicable assignment agreement are "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and
that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents
will not be "plan assets" under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such
assignment, such Purchaser, if not already a Lender, shall for all purposes be a
Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents executed by the
Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan
Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no
further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent shall be
required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the
Aggregate Supplemental Loan Commitment, Loans and Letter of Credit
participations assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any
assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this SECTION 13.3(B), the transferor
Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that
replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as
appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in
principal amounts reflecting their Supplemental Loan Commitment and their
Existing Loans, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

(C) THE REGISTER. The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
SECTION 14.1 a copy of each assignment delivered to and accepted by it pursuant
to this SECTION 13.3 and a register (the "REGISTER") for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Lenders and the Supplemental Loan Commitment of and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time and
whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender
pursuant to an assignment under this SECTION 13.3. The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

13.4 CONFIDENTIALITY. For purposes of this SECTION 13.4, "Confidential
Information" means information delivered or presented to the Agent or the
Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in connection with
the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents that is proprietary in nature and that was either (a)
delivered or presented in connection with the Sale Initiative or (b) clearly
marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received as being
confidential information of the Borrower or such Subsidiary; PROVIDED that such
term does not include information that:

(i) was publicly known or otherwise known to the Agent or any of the
Lenders, as applicable, prior to the time of such disclosure;

(ii) subsequently becomes publicly known to the Agent or any of the
Lenders other than through disclosure by or on behalf of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries;

(iii) otherwise becomes known to the Agent or any of the Lenders other
than through a disclosure by or on behalf of the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries; or

(iv) constitutes financial statements delivered to the Agent or any of
the Lenders under SECTION 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available.

Subject to SECTION 13.5, the Agent and the Lenders shall hold all Confidential
Information in accordance with such Person's customary procedures adopted by
such Person in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties
delivered to it and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices;
PROVIDED that the Agent and the Lenders, in any event may deliver or disclose
the Confidential Information to:

(1) the Agent, any other Lender or the Noteholder;

(2) a prospective Transferee in connection with the contemplated
participation or assignment permitted under the terms hereof to the extent
reasonably required in connection therewith if such prospective Transferee
has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information
to be bound by the terms of this SECTION 13.4;

(3) the Agent's or any Lender's officers, trustees, employees,
agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably
relates to the administration of the Loans);

(4) the Agent's or any Lender's financial advisors and other
professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential
Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this SECTION
13.4;

(5) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or
representative thereof having jurisdiction over the Agent or any of the
Lenders or which requires access to information about the Agent's or the
Lender's loan portfolios; or

(6) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be
necessary or appropriate (A) to effect compliance with any law, rule,
regulation or order applicable to the Agent or the Lenders; (B) in response
to subpoena or other legal process; (C) in connection with any litigation
to which the Agent or any Lender is a party; or (D) if any Default has
occurred and is continuing, to the extent the Agent or any Lender may
reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure may be necessary or
appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and
remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In no event shall the Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any
materials furnished by the Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, each prospective
Transferee shall be required to agree that if it does not become a participant
or assignee it shall return all materials furnished to it by or on behalf of the
Borrower in connection with this Agreement; PROVIDED, FURTHER, however if any
such disclosure is to be made pursuant to legal process, the Agent or Lender, as
applicable, which may make such disclosure shall use its reasonable efforts to
notify the Borrower of such legal process prior to making such disclosure,
provided the failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability on
the part of such Person.

13.5 DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any permitted Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring
an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "TRANSFEREE") and
any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession
concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; PROVIDED that prior to any such
disclosure, such prospective Transferee shall agree to preserve in accordance
with SECTION 13.4 the confidentiality of any confidential information described
therein.

13.6 GUARANTY TERMINATIONS AND PLEDGE RELEASES. Each of the Lenders,
Issuing Banks and the Agent agrees that upon the consummation of any transaction
involving the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of a
Material Subsidiary, which sale is permitted pursuant to the terms of SECTION
7.3(B), the Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks, shall release and terminate the Guaranty with respect to such Material
Subsidiary which is the subject of such transaction or, as applicable, release
the stock of such Material Subsidiary from the pledge to the Agent.
