--------
on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to the
Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Effective Date until 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the Expiry Date (unless the
obligations of the Liquidity Provider shall be earlier terminated in accordance
with the terms of Section 2.04) in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding
not to exceed the Maximum Commitment.
SECTION 2.02 Making the Advances. (a) Each "Interest Advance" shall be
-------------------
made in a single Borrowing by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written
and completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex I, signed
by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, such Interest Advance in an amount not
exceeding the Maximum Available Commitment at such time and shall be used solely
for the payment when due of interest on the Class B Certificates at the Stated
Interest Rate therefor in accordance with Section 3.6(a) of the Intercreditor
Agreement. Each Interest Advance made hereunder shall automatically reduce the
Maximum Available Commitment and the amount available to be borrowed hereunder

reinstatement as provided in the next sentence). Upon repayment to the Liquidity
Provider in full or in part of the amount of any Interest Advance made pursuant
to this Section 2.02(a), together with accrued interest thereon (as provided
herein), the Maximum Available Commitment shall be reinstated by the amount of
such repaid Interest Advance, but not to exceed the Maximum Commitment;
provided, however, that the Maximum Available Commitment shall not be so
-------- -------
reinstated at any time if (i) a Liquidity Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and (ii) there is a Performing Equipment Note Deficiency.
(b) A "Non-Extension Advance" shall be made in a single
Borrowing if this Agreement is not extended in accordance with Section 3.6(d) of
the Intercreditor Agreement (unless a Replacement Liquidity Facility to replace
this Agreement shall have been delivered to the Borrower as contemplated by said
Section 3.6(d) within the time period specified in such Section) by delivery to

substantially the form of Annex II attached hereto, signed by a Responsible

at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash Collateral Account in
accordance with said Section 3.6(d) and Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement.
(c) A "Downgrade Advance" shall be made in a single Borrowing
upon a downgrading of the Liquidity Provider's relevant debt rating issued by
either Rating Agency below the applicable Threshold Rating (as provided for in
Section 3.6(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement) unless a Replacement Liquidity
Facility shall have been delivered to the Borrower in accordance with said
Section 3.6(c), by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and completed
Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex III, signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available
Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash Collateral
Account in accordance with said
7
[Revolving Credit Agreement]
Section 3.6(c) and Section 3.6(f). Upon such downgrading, the Liquidity Provider
shall promptly deliver notice thereof to the Borrower, the Trustee and United.
(d) A "Final Advance" shall be made in a single Borrowing upon the
receipt by the Borrower of a Termination Notice from the Liquidity Provider
pursuant to Section 6.01, by delivery to the Liquidity Provider of a written and
completed Notice of Borrowing in substantially the form of Annex IV, signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in an amount equal to the Maximum Available
Commitment at such time, and shall be used to fund the Class B Cash Collateral
Account (in accordance with Section 3.6(f) and Section 3.6(i) of the
Intercreditor Agreement).
(e) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice in writing (a "Notice of
Borrowing") in substantially the form required by Section 2.02(a), 2.02(b),
2.02(c) or 2.02(d), as the case may be, given by the Borrower to the Liquidity
Provider. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the Borrower in respect of
any Borrowing no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on a Business Day, upon
satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 with respect
to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall, before 4:00 p.m.
(Chicago time) on the date of such Borrowing or on such later Business Day
specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing, make available for the
account of its Lending Office, in U.S. dollars and in immediately available
funds, the amount of such Borrowing to be paid to the Borrower in accordance
with its payment instructions. If a Notice of Borrowing is delivered by the
Borrower in respect of any Borrowing after 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on a
Business Day, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
4.02 with respect to a requested Borrowing, the Liquidity Provider shall, before
11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the first Business Day following the day of receipt
of such Notice of Borrowing or on such later Business Day specified by the
Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing, make available to the Borrower, in
accordance with its payment instructions, in U.S. dollars and in immediately
available funds, the amount of such Borrowing. Payments of proceeds of a
Borrowing shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
Borrower in accordance with such wire transfer instructions as the Borrower
shall furnish from time to time to the Liquidity Provider for such purpose. Each
Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Each
Notice of Borrowing shall be effective upon delivery of a copy thereof to the
Liquidity Provider's New York Branch at the address specified in Section 7.02.
(f) Upon the making of any Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing in accordance with the Borrower's payment instructions, the Liquidity
Provider shall be fully discharged of its obligation hereunder with respect to
such Notice of Borrowing, and the Liquidity Provider shall not thereafter be
obligated to make any further Advances hereunder in respect of such Notice of
Borrowing to the Borrower or to any other Person. If the Liquidity Provider
makes an Advance requested pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing before 11:00 a.m.
(Chicago time) on the second Business Day after the date of payment specified in
said Section 2.02(e), the Liquidity Provider shall have fully discharged its
obligations hereunder with respect to such Advance and an event of default shall
not have occurred hereunder. Following the making of any Advance pursuant to
Section 2.02(b), Section 2.02(c) or Section 2.02(d) to fund the Class B Cash
Collateral Account, the Liquidity Provider shall have no interest in or rights
to the Class B Cash Collateral Account, such Advance or any other amounts from
time to time on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account; provided,
--------
however, that the foregoing
-------
8
[Revolving Credit Agreement]
shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Subordination Agent to make
the distributions contemplated by Section 3.6(e) or (f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement and provided further, that the foregoing shall not affect or impair
-------- -------
the rights of the Liquidity Provider to provide written instructions with
respect to the investment and reinvestment of the Cash Collateral Accounts to
the extent provided in Section 2.2(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement. By paying
to the Borrower proceeds of Advances requested by the Borrower in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, the Liquidity Provider makes no
representation as to, and assumes no responsibility for, the correctness or
sufficiency for any purpose of the amount of the Advances so made and requested.
Section 2.03 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider
----
the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.04 Automatic Reductions and Termination of the Maximum
---------------------------------------------------
Commitment.
----------
(a) Automatic Reductions. Promptly following each date on which
--------------------
the Required Amount is reduced as a result of a reduction in the Pool Balance of
the Class B Certificates or otherwise, the Maximum Commitment shall
automatically be reduced to an amount equal to such reduced Required Amount (as
calculated by the Borrower). The Borrower shall give notice of any such
automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment to the Liquidity Provider within
two Business Days thereof. The failure by the Borrower to furnish any such
notice shall not affect such automatic reduction of the Maximum Commitment.
(b) Termination. Upon the making of any Provider Advance or
-----------
Final Advance hereunder or the occurrence of the Termination Date, the
obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make further Advances hereunder shall
automatically and irrevocably terminate, and the Borrower shall not be entitled
to request any further Borrowing hereunder.
Section 2.05 Repayments of Interest Advances or the Final Advance.
----------------------------------------------------
Subject to Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.09, the Borrower hereby agrees, without
notice of an Advance or demand for repayment from the Liquidity Provider (which
notice and demand are hereby waived by the Borrower), to pay, or to cause to be
paid, to the Liquidity Provider on each date on which the Liquidity Provider
shall make an Interest Advance or the Final Advance, an amount equal to (a) the
amount of such Advance (any such Advance, until repaid, is referred to herein as
an "Unpaid Advance"), plus (b) interest on the amount of each such Unpaid
Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that if (i) the
-------- -------
Liquidity Provider shall make a Provider Advance at any time after making one or
more Interest Advances which shall not have been repaid in accordance with this
Section 2.05 or (ii) this Liquidity Facility shall become a Downgraded Facility
or Non-Extended Facility at any time when unreimbursed Interest Advances have
reduced the Maximum Available Commitment to zero, then such Interest Advances
shall cease to constitute Unpaid Advances and shall be deemed to have been
changed into an Applied Downgrade Advance or an Applied Non-Extension Advance,
as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the
purpose of determining when such Interest Advance is required to be repaid to
the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 2.06 and for the purposes of
Section 2.06(b)). The Borrower and the Liquidity Provider agree that the
repayment in full of each Interest Advance and Final Advance on the date such
Advance is made
9
[Revolving Credit Agreement]
is intended to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the Borrower
by the Liquidity Provider.
Section 2.06 Repayments of Provider Advances. (a) Amounts advanced
-------------------------------
hereunder in respect of a Provider Advance shall be deposited in the Class B
Cash Collateral Account, invested and withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral
Account as set forth in Sections 3.6(c), (d) and (f) of the Intercreditor
Agreement. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Liquidity Provider, on each Regular
Distribution Date, commencing on the first Regular Distribution Date after the
making of a Provider Advance, interest on the principal amount of any such
Provider Advance as provided in Section 3.07; provided, however, that amounts in
-------- -------
respect of a Provider Advance withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account
for the purpose of paying interest on the Class B Certificates in accordance
with Section 3.6(f) of the Intercreditor Agreement (the amount of any such
withdrawal being (y) in the case of a Downgrade Advance, an "Applied Downgrade
Advance" and (z) in the case of a Non-Extension Advance, an "Applied Non-
Extension Advance" and, together with an Applied Downgrade Advance, an "Applied
Provider Advance") shall thereafter (subject to Section 2.06(b)) be treated as
an Interest Advance under this Agreement for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon; and provided, further,
-------- -------
that if, following the making of a Provider Advance, the Liquidity Provider
delivers a Termination Notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01, such
Provider Advance shall thereafter be treated as a Final Advance under this
Agreement for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest
payable thereon and the obligation for repayment thereof. Subject to Sections
2.07 and 2.09 hereof, immediately upon the withdrawal of any amounts from the
Class B Cash Collateral Account on account of a reduction in the Required
Amount, the Borrower shall repay to the Liquidity Provider a portion of the
Provider Advances in a principal amount equal to the amount of such reduction,
plus interest on the principal amount prepaid as provided in Section 3.07.
(b) At any time when an Applied Provider Advance (or any portion
thereof) is outstanding, upon the deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account
of any amount pursuant to clause third of Section 2.4(b) of the Intercreditor
Agreement, clause third of Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement or clause
fourth of Section 3.3 of the Intercreditor Agreement (any such amount being a
"Replenishment Amount") for the purpose of replenishing or increasing the
balance thereof up to the amount of the Required Amount at such time, (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Applied Provider Advances (and of
Provider Advances treated as an Interest Advance for purposes of determining the
Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon) shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such Replenishment Amount and (ii) the principal amount
of all outstanding Unapplied Provider Advances shall be automatically increased
by the amount of such Replenishment Amount.
(c) Upon the provision of a Replacement Liquidity Facility in
replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.6(e) of the
Intercreditor Agreement, amounts remaining on deposit in the Class B Cash
Collateral Account after giving effect to any Applied Provider Advance on the
date of such replacement shall be reimbursed to the Liquidity Provider, but only
to the extent such amounts are necessary to repay in full to the Liquidity
Provider all amounts owing to it hereunder.

Section 2.07 Payments to the Liquidity Provider Under the Intercreditor
---------------------------------------------------------
Agreement. In order to provide for payment or repayment to the Liquidity
---------
Provider of any amounts hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that
amounts available and referred to in Articles II and III of the Intercreditor
Agreement, to the extent payable to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.6(f) of
the Intercreditor Agreement), shall be paid to the Liquidity Provider in
accordance with the terms thereof. Amounts so paid to the Liquidity Provider
shall be applied by the Liquidity Provider to Liquidity Obligations then due and
payable in the order of priority required by the applicable provisions of
Articles II and III of the Intercreditor Agreement or, if not provided for in
the Intercreditor Agreement, then in such manner as the Liquidity Provider shall
deem appropriate.
Section 2.08 Book Entries. The Liquidity Provider shall maintain in
------------
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from Advances made from time to time and
the amounts of principal and interest payable hereunder and paid from time to
time in respect thereof; provided, however, that the failure by the Liquidity
-------- -------
Provider to maintain such account or accounts shall not affect the obligations
of the Borrower in respect of Advances.
Section 2.09 Payments from Available Funds Only. All payments to be made
----------------------------------
by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made only from amounts received by
it that constitute Scheduled Payments or Special Payments or payments under
Section 5(b) of any Participation Agreement and Sections 4(j) and 7 of the Note
Purchase Agreement, and only to the extent that the Borrower shall have
sufficient income or proceeds therefrom to enable the Borrower to make payments
in accordance with the terms hereof after giving effect to the priority of
payments provisions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. The Liquidity
Provider agrees that it shall look solely to such amounts to the extent
available for distribution to it as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and
this Agreement and that the Borrower, in its individual capacity, is not
personally liable to it for any amounts payable or liability under this
Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Intercreditor
Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the Class B Cash Collateral Account shall be
available to the Borrower to make payments under this Agreement only to the
extent and for the purposes expressly contemplated in Section 3.6(f) of the
Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 2.10 Extension of Expiry Date. No earlier than the 60th day and
------------------------
no later than the 40th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (unless such
Expiry Date is on or after the date that is 15 days after the Final Maturity
Date for the Class B Certificates), the Borrower shall request that the
Liquidity Provider extend the Expiry Date to the earlier of (i) the date that is
15 days after the Final Maturity Date for the Class B Certificates and (ii) the
date that is the day immediately preceding the 364th day occurring after the
last day of the Consent Period (as hereinafter defined). Whether or not the
Borrower has made such request, the Liquidity Provider shall advise the
Borrower, no earlier than the 40th day (or, if earlier, the date of the
Liquidity Provider's receipt of such request, if any, from the Borrower) and no
later than the 25th day prior to the then effective Expiry Date (such period the
"Consent Period"), whether, in its sole discretion, it agrees to so extend the
Expiry Date. If the Liquidity Provider advises the Borrower on or before the
date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall not be so
extended, or fails to irrevocably and unconditionally advise the Borrower on or
before the date on which the Consent Period ends that such Expiry Date shall be
so extended (and, in each case,
11
[Revolving Credit Agreement]
if the Liquidity Provider shall not have been replaced in accordance with
Section 3.6(e) of the Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower shall be entitled
on and after the date on which the Consent Period ends (but prior to the then
effective Expiry Date) to request a Non-Extension Advance in accordance with
Section 2.02(b) and Section 3.6(d) of the Intercreditor Agreement.
ARTICLE III
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
Section 3.01 Increased Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Liquidity
---------------
Provider from time to time such amounts as may be necessary to compensate the
Liquidity Provider for any costs incurred by the Liquidity Provider which are
attributable to its making or maintaining any Advances hereunder or its
obligation to make any such Advances hereunder, or any reduction in any amount
receivable by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement or the Intercreditor
Agreement in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (such increases in
costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional
Costs"), resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in U.S.
federal, state, or municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations, or the
adoption or making after such date of any interpretation, regulation, directive,
guideline, requirement or request whether or not having the force of law, by any
court or governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof (a "Regulatory Change"), which: (1) changes the basis of
taxation of any amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement
in respect of any such Advances or such obligation (other than Taxes); or (2)
imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar
requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
deposits with or other liabilities of, the Liquidity Provider (including any
such Advances or such obligation or any deposits referred to in the definition
of LIBOR or related definitions). The Liquidity Provider agrees to use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and applicable legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if
making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any amount
payable under this Section 3.01 that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise disadvantageous to
the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider shall notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that shall entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01 as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section 3.01. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes
of this Section 3.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of
making or maintaining Advances or on amounts receivable by it in respect of
Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate the Liquidity
Provider in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be prima facie evidence of
the amount owed under this Section 3.01.
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, (i) the Liquidity Provider
and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of
the initial Liquidity Provider that is not a bank shall not be entitled to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof), and (ii) in no event shall the abolition, alteration or
modification of the Gewahrtragerhaftung and the Anstaltslast in
12
[Revolving Credit Agreement]
accordance with the European Commissions' Statement of July 17, 2001, as
amended, altered or modified from time to time, in respect of any liabilities of
the Liquidity Provider constitute a Regulatory Change.
Section 3.02 Capital Adequacy. If (1) compliance with any judicial,
----------------
administrative or other governmental interpretation of any law or regulation or
(2) compliance by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the
Liquidity Provider with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) has the effect
of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by the Liquidity Provider or any corporation controlling the
Liquidity Provider, and such increase is based upon the Liquidity Provider's
obligations hereunder and other similar obligations, the Borrower shall pay to
the Liquidity Provider such additional amount as shall be reasonably allocable
to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder. The
Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable
legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending
Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
any amount payable under this Section 3.02 that may thereafter accrue and would
not, in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise
disadvantageous to the Liquidity Provider.
The Liquidity Provider shall notify the Borrower of any event occurring
after the date of this Agreement that shall entitle the Liquidity Provider to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 as promptly as practicable after it
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts owed
under this Section 3.02. Determinations by the Liquidity Provider for purposes
of this Section 3.02 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital
required to be maintained by the Liquidity Provider and of the amount allocable
to the Liquidity Provider's obligations to the Borrower hereunder shall be prima
facie evidence of the amounts owed under this Section 3.02.
Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, (i) the Liquidity Provider
and the Subordination Agent agree that any permitted assignee or participant of
the initial Liquidity Provider that is not a bank shall not be entitled to the
benefits of the preceding two paragraphs (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 7.08 hereof), and (ii) in no event shall the abolition, alteration or
modification of the Gewahrtragerhaftung and the Anstaltslast in accordance with
the European Commission's Statement of July 17, 2001, as amended, altered or
modified from time to time, in respect of any liabilities of the Liquidity
Provider give rise to any claim under this Section 3.02.
Section 3.03 Payments Free of Deductions. (a) All payments made by the
---------------------------
Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
reduction for or on account of, any Taxes, excluding Excluded Taxes (such non-
excluded taxes being referred to herein, collectively, as "Non-Excluded Taxes").
If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any
amounts payable to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement, the Borrower
shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor by applicable law pay to the
appropriate governmental or taxing authority the full amount of any such Non-
Excluded Taxes (and any additional Non-Excluded Taxes in respect of the payment
required under clause (ii) below) and make such reports or returns in connection
therewith at the time or times and in the manner
13
[Revolving Credit Agreement]
prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Liquidity Provider an
additional amount which (after deduction of all such Non-Excluded Taxes) shall
be sufficient to yield to the Liquidity Provider the full amount which would
have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been made. Within
30 days after the date of each payment hereunder, the Borrower shall furnish to
the Liquidity Provider the original or a certified copy of (or other documentary
evidence of) the payment of the Non-Excluded Taxes applicable to such payment.
The Liquidity Provider agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with
applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its
Lending Office if making such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not,
in the reasonable judgment of the Liquidity Provider, be otherwise materially
disadvantageous (as determined by the Liquidity Provider) to the Liquidity
Provider or require the Liquidity Provider to incur any cost or expenses for
which it is not indemnified by the Borrower. The Liquidity Provider shall
deliver to the Borrower such certificates and documents as may be reasonably
requested by the Borrower and required by applicable law and as may be legally
delivered by the Liquidity Provider to establish that payments hereunder are
exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of) withholding Tax.
(b) All payments (including, without limitation, Advances) made
by the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of,
and without reduction for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Taxes are required
to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Borrower under this
Agreement, the Liquidity Provider shall (i) within the time prescribed therefor
by applicable law pay to the appropriate governmental or taxing authority the
full amount of any such Taxes (and any additional Taxes in respect of the
additional amounts payable under clause (ii) hereof) and make such reports or
returns in connection therewith at the time or times and in the manner
prescribed by applicable law, and (ii) pay to the Borrower an additional amount
which (after deduction of all such Taxes) shall be sufficient to yield to the
Borrower the full amount which would have been received by it had no such
withholding or deduction been made. Within 30 days after the date of each
payment hereunder, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish to the Borrower the
original or a certified copy of (or other documentary evidence of) the payment
of the Taxes applicable to such payment.
(c) If any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, any
Taxes is reasonably available to the Borrower to establish that payments under
this Agreement are exempt from (or entitled to a reduced rate of) tax, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Liquidity Provider such form or forms and such
other evidence of the eligibility of the Borrower for such exemption or
reduction as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably identify to the Borrower as
being required as a condition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of,
any Taxes.
Section 3.04 Payments. The Borrower shall make or cause to be made each
--------
payment to the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement so as to cause the same
to be received by the Liquidity Provider not later than 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time)
on the day when due. The Borrower shall make all such payments in lawful money
of the United States of America, to the Liquidity Provider in immediately
available funds, by wire transfer to The Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, ABA No.

[Revolving Credit Agreement]
Section 3.05 Computations. All computations of interest based on the Base
------------
Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and all computations of interest based on the LIBOR shall be made on the
basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which such interest is payable.
Section 3.06 Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be
----------------------------
made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and no additional interest
shall be due as a result (and if so made, shall be deemed to have been made when
due). If any payment in respect of interest on an Advance is so deferred to the
next Business Day, such deferral shall not delay the commencement of the next
Interest Period for such Advance (if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance) or reduce
the number of days for which interest shall be payable on such Advance on the
next interest payment date for such Advance.
Section 3.07 Interest. (a) Subject to Section 2.09, the Borrower shall
--------
pay, or shall cause to be paid, without duplication, interest on (i) the unpaid
principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance
(or, in the case of an Applied Provider Advance, from and including the date on
which the amount thereof was withdrawn from the Class B Cash Collateral Account
to pay interest on the Class B Certificates) to but excluding the date such
principal amount shall be paid in full (or, in the case of an Applied Provider
Advance, the date on which the Class B Cash Collateral Account is fully
replenished in respect of such Advance) and (ii) any other amount due hereunder
(whether fees, commissions, expenses or other amounts or to the extent permitted
by applicable law, installments of interest on Advances or any such other
amount) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date
such amount is paid in full, in each such case, at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum for each day equal to the Applicable Liquidity Rate (as defined below)
for such Advance or such other amount as in effect for such day, but in no event
at a rate per annum greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law;
provided, however, that, if at any time the otherwise applicable interest rate
-------- -------
as set forth in this Section 3.07 shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law, then any subsequent reduction in such interest rate shall not
reduce the rate of interest payable pursuant to this Section 3.07 below the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest
accrued equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if such otherwise
applicable interest rate as set forth in this Section 3.07 had at all times been
in effect. Nothing contained in this Section 3.07 shall require the Borrower to
pay any amount under this Section 3.07 other than to the extent the Borrower
shall have funds available therefor.
(b) Except as provided in Section 3.07(e), each Advance shall be
either a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance as provided in this Section or
Section 3.10. Each such Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance for the period from
the date of its borrowing to (but excluding) the third Business Day following
the Liquidity Provider's receipt of the Notice of Borrowing for such Advance.
Thereafter, such Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Borrower (at the direction of the Controlling Party, so long as the Liquidity
Provider is not the Controlling Party) may (x) convert the Final Advance into a
Base Rate Advance on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance by
giving the Liquidity Provider no less than four Business Days' prior written
notice of such election or (y) elect to maintain the
15
[Revolving Credit Agreement]
Final Advance as a Base Rate Advance by not requesting a conversion of the Final
Advance to a LIBOR Advance under Clause (5) of the applicable Notice of
Borrowing (or, if such Final Advance is deemed to have been made, without
delivery of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06, by requesting, prior
to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the first Business Day following the Borrower's
receipt of the applicable Termination Notice, that such Final Advance not be
converted from a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance).
(c) Each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest during each Interest
Period at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Advance, payable in arrears on the last day of
such Interest Period and, in the event of the payment of principal of such LIBOR
Advance on a day other than such last day, on the date of such payment (to the
extent of interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(d) Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate
Advance, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date and, in the event
of the payment of principal of such Base Rate Advance on a day other than a
Regular Distribution Date, on the date of such payment (to the extent of
interest accrued on the amount of principal repaid).
(e) Each Unapplied Provider Advance Shall bear interest in an
amount equal to the Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Class B
Cash Collateral Account, payable in arrears on each Regular Distribution Date.
(f) Each amount not paid when due hereunder (whether fees,
commissions, expenses or other amounts or, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, installments of interest on Advances but excluding
Advances) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus 2.0% per annum.
(g) Each change in the Base Rate shall become effective
immediately. The rates of interest specified in this Section 3.07 with respect
to any Advance or other amount shall be referred to as the "Applicable Liquidity
Rate."
Section 3.08 Replacement of Borrower. Subject to Section 5.02, from time
-----------------------
to time and subject to the successor Borrower's meeting the eligibility
requirements set forth in Section 6.9 of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable
to the Subordination Agent, upon the effective date and time specified in a
written and completed Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent in substantially
the form of Annex VI (a "Notice of Replacement Subordination Agent") delivered
to the Liquidity Provider by the then Borrower, the successor Borrower
designated therein shall be substituted for as the Borrower for all purposes
hereunder.
Section 3.09 Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the
----------------------------
Liquidity Provider, upon the request of the Liquidity Provider, such amount or
amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Liquidity
Provider) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the
Liquidity Provider to fund or maintain any LIBOR Advance (but excluding loss of
anticipated profits) incurred as a result of:
16
[Revolving Credit Agreement]
(1) Any repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the
last day of the Interest Period for such Advance; or
(2) Any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the
date for borrowing specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.02.
Section 3.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
----------
Agreement, if any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for the Liquidity Provider (or its Lending Office) to maintain or
fund its LIBOR Advances, then upon notice to the Borrower by the Liquidity
Provider, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances shall be
converted to Base Rate Advances (a) immediately upon demand of the Liquidity
Provider, if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the
Liquidity Provider, requires immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of
the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change
or request.

binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Liquidity Provider

Provider (except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08) nor the Borrower
(except as contemplated by Section 3.08) shall have the right to assign its
rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of the other party, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). The
Liquidity Provider may grant participations herein or in any of its rights
hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements to such Persons (other than
United or any of its Affiliates) as the Liquidity Provider may in its sole
discretion select, subject to the requirements of Section 7.08(b). No such
participation by the Liquidity Provider, however, shall relieve the Liquidity
Provider of its obligations hereunder. In connection with any participation or
any proposed participation, the Liquidity Provider may disclose to the
participant or the proposed participant any information that the Borrower is
required to deliver or to disclose to the Liquidity Provider pursuant to this
Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Liquidity Provider's
source of funds may derive in part from its participants. Accordingly,
references in this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements to
determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, increased costs,
reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to the Liquidity Provider shall be
deemed also to include those of each of its participants that are banks
(subject, in each case, to the maximum amount that would have been incurred by
or attributable to the Liquidity Provider directly if the Liquidity Provider,
rather than the participant, had held the interest participated other than a
result of a change in law following the date of any participation).
(b) If, pursuant to Section 7.08(a) above, the Liquidity
Provider sells any participation in this Agreement to any bank or other entity
(each, a "Participating Institution"), then, concurrently with the effectiveness
of such participation, the Participating Institution shall (i) represent to the
Liquidity Provider (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower)
either (A) that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a
state thereof or (B) that under applicable law and treaties, no taxes shall be
required to be withheld by the Borrower or the Liquidity Provider with respect
to any payments to be made to such Participating Institution in respect of this
Agreement, (ii) furnish to the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower either (x) a
statement that it is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state
thereof or (y) if it is not so incorporated, two copies of a properly completed
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as
appropriate, or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service certifying, in each case, such Participating
Institution's entitlement to a complete exemption from United States federal
withholding tax in respect to any and all payments to be made hereunder, and
(iii) agree (for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower) to
provide the Liquidity Provider and the Borrower a new Form W-8ECI or Form W-
8BEN, as appropriate, (A) on or before the date that any such form expires or
becomes obsolete or (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recent form previously delivered by it and prior to the immediately
following due date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder, certifying in the
case of a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI that such Participating Institution is
entitled to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on
payments under this Agreement. Unless the Borrower
23
[Revolving Credit Agreement]
has received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to it (and
required by applicable law) from the Participating Institution indicating that
payments hereunder are not subject to United States federal withholding tax, the
Borrower shall withhold taxes as required by law from such payments at the
applicable statutory rate without any obligation to make additional payments
under Section 3.03.
(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.08,
the Liquidity Provider may assign and pledge all or any portion of the Advances
owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as
collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Advances made by the
Borrower to the Liquidity Provider in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect of such
assigned Advance to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release
the Liquidity Provider from its obligations hereunder.
Section 7.09 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
------------
prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

-------------
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD
TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE

THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH

set forth in Section 7.02, or at such other address of which the Liquidity
Provider shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and
(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to
effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall
limit the right to ▇▇▇ in any other jurisdiction.

voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with such legal
counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, AND CANNOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN
WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS,
SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.
(c) The Liquidity Provider hereby waives any immunity it may
have from the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States or of any State
and waives any immunity any of its properties located in the United States may

under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 or any similar
successor legislation.
