together with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount
is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum
equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate then
applicable to the Loans contained in such Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06
and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall
repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Bank's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.

SECTION 2.04 Notes.

(a) In connection with the effectiveness of the Existing Credit
Agreement, the Former Borrower delivered to the Agent, for the account of each
Existing Bank, duly executed "Notes" substantially in the form of Exhibit A to
the Existing Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Existing Notes") to evidence
the Existing Loans of each bank under the Existing Credit Agreement. In
connection with the effectiveness of the Nippon Credit Agreement and the LTCB
Credit Agreement, the Former Borrower delivered to the Nippon Agent and the
LTCB Agent, respectively, the Nippon Notes and the LTCB Notes to evidence the
Nippon Loans and the LTCB Loans, respectively, of each bank under the Nippon
Credit Agreement and the LTCB Credit Agreement. On or prior to the Effective
Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, for the account of each Bank,
duly

22
28
executed Notes, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. On the Effective
Date, each Bank's Existing Note, Nippon Note or LTCB Note shall be
automatically canceled, and from and after the Effective Date, the Loans of
each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note payable to the order of such Bank
for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bank's Loans. On or promptly after
the Effective Date, each Existing Bank, Nippon Lender and LTCB Lender shall
deliver to the Agent, the Nippon Agent or the LTCB Agent, as the case may be,
for delivery to the Borrower its Existing Note, Nippon Note or LTCB Note (or in
the case of loss thereof, a written agreement of indemnity by such Bank for
such loss in customary form and executed by such Bank) marked "CANCELED".

(b) Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Agent,
request that its Loans of a particular type be evidenced by a separate Note in
an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of its Loans of such
type. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto
with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences solely
Loans of the relevant type. Each reference in this Agreement to the "Note" of
such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as
the context may require.

(c) Upon receipt of each Bank's Note pursuant to Section 3.01(b),
the Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall record the
date, amount and type of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each
payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and prior to
any transfer of its Note may endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof
appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to
each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Bank to make
any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder or of the Borrower under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby
irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to
and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when
required.

SECTION 2.05. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan shall mature, and the
principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full, on the Termination
Date.

SECTION 2.06 Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and
including the date such Loan is made to but excluding the date it becomes due,
at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate Margin for such day plus
the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Date and, with respect to the principal amount of any
Base Rate Loan converted

23
29
to a Fixed Rate Loan, on each day a Base Rate Loan is so converted. Any
overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest,
payable on demand, for each day from and including the date upon which it
becomes due to but excluding the date upon which it is paid, at a rate per
annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate
Loans for such day.

"Base Rate Margin" means a rate per annum determined in accordance
with the Pricing Schedule.

(b) Each CD Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at
a rate per annum equal to the sum of the CD Margin for such day plus the
Adjusted CD Rate applicable to such Interest Period; provided that if any CD
Loan or any portion thereof shall, as a result of clause (2)(b)(i) of the
definition of Interest Period, have an Interest Period of less than 30 days,
such portion shall bear interest during such Interest Period at the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans during such period. Such interest shall be
payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest
Period is longer than 90 days, at intervals of 90 days after the first day
thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any CD Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of 2% plus (i) for each day during such Interest Period, the sum of
the CD Margin for such day plus the Adjusted CD Rate applicable to such Loan,
and (ii) for each day after the end of such Interest Period, the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

"CD Margin" means a rate per annum determined in accordance with the
Pricing Schedule.

The "Adjusted CD Rate" applicable to any Interest Period means a rate
per annum determined pursuant to the following formula:

[ CDBR ]*
ACDR = [ ----------- ] + AR
[ 1.00 - DRP ]

ACDR = Adjusted CD Rate
CDBR = CD Base Rate
DRP = Domestic Reserve Percentage
AR = Assessment Rate

__________

24
30
* The amount in brackets being rounded upward, if necessary, to the next
higher 1/100 of 1%

The "CD Base Rate" applicable to any Interest Period is the rate of
interest determined by the Agent to be the average (rounded upward, if
necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the prevailing rates per annum
bid at 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) (or as soon thereafter as practicable)
on the first day of such Interest Period by two or more New York certificate of
deposit dealers of recognized standing for the purchase at face value from each
CD Reference Bank of its certificates of deposit in an amount comparable to the
principal amount of the CD Loan of such CD Reference Bank to which such
Interest Period applies and having a maturity comparable to such Interest
Period.

"Domestic Reserve Percentage" means for any day that percentage
(expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for
determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any
basic, supplemental or emergency reserves) for a member bank of the Federal
Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding five billion dollars in
respect of new non-personal time deposits in dollars in New York City having a
maturity comparable to the related Interest Period and in an amount of $100,000
or more. The Adjusted CD Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the
effective date of any change in the Domestic Reserve Percentage.

"Assessment Rate" means for any day the annual assessment rate in
effect on such day which is payable by a member of the Bank Insurance Fund
classified as adequately capitalized and within supervisory subgroup "A" (or a
comparable successor assessment risk classification) within the meaning of 12
C.F.R. Section 327.3(e) (or any successor provision) to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (or any successor) for such Corporation's (or such
successor's) insuring time deposits at offices of such institution in the
United States. The Adjusted CD Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as
of the effective date of any change in the Assessment Rate.

(c) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable
thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin for
such day plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such
Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on
the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months,
at intervals of three months after the first day thereof.

25
31
The "Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any
Interest Period means the rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained
(rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i)
the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage.

"Euro-Dollar Margin" means a rate per annum determined in accordance
with the Pricing Schedule. The "London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to
any Interest Period means the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the
next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which deposits in
dollars are offered to each of the Euro-Dollar Reference Banks in the London
interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar
Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period in an amount
approximately equal to the principal amount of the Euro-Dollar Loan of such
Euro-Dollar Reference Bank to which such Interest Period is to apply and for a
period of time comparable to such Interest Period.

"Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage" means for any day that percentage
(expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for
determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of the Federal
Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding five billion dollars in
respect of "Eurocurrency liabilities" (or in respect of any other category of
liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or
other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Bank to
United States residents).

(d) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan
shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the
date upon which it becomes due to but excluding the date upon which it is paid,

the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered
Rate applicable to such Loan at the date such payment was due and (ii) the
Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if
necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (x) the average (rounded
upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates
per annum at which one day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than
three Euro-Dollar Business Days, then for such other period of time not longer
than six months as the Agent may select) deposits in dollars in an amount
approximately equal to such overdue payment due to each of the Euro-Dollar
Reference Banks are offered to such

26
32
Euro-Dollar Reference Bank in the London interbank market for the applicable
period determined as provided above by (y) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve
Percentage (or, if the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section
8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day).

(e) The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the
Loans hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the
Banks by telex, cable or facsimile transmission of each rate of interest so
determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

(f) Each Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to furnish
quotations to the Agent as contemplated by this Section. If any Reference Bank
does not furnish a timely quotation, the Agent shall determine the relevant
interest rate on the basis of the quotation or quotations furnished by the
remaining Reference Bank or Reference Banks, or if none of such quotations is
available on a timely basis, the provisions of Section 8.01 shall apply.

SECTION 2.07. Letters of Credit.

(a) Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit.

(i) The Borrower may from time to time request that the
Issuing Bank issue a letter of credit pursuant to which the Issuing
Bank shall be obligated to the beneficiary to pay any drawings made

participate ratably in such drawings in proportion to their respective
Commitments as hereinafter provided.

(ii) Subject to Section 2.07(a)(iv) below, and in

participate ratably in proportion to its Commitment in any drawings
made under each Letter of Credit.

(iii) Notwithstanding any reference in any Existing Letter
of Credit to the Existing Credit Agreement, on and as of the Effective
Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of
Credit and to have been issued pursuant to clause (ii) above on the
Effective Date.

27
33
(iv) In addition to the conditions precedent set forth in
Article 3, the obligations of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of
Credit pursuant to clause (ii) above are subject to the additional
conditions that:

(A) no Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date
later than one Domestic Business Day prior to the Termination
Date; provided that with respect to a Letter of Credit issued
for the purpose of providing credit support for obligations of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with
self-insurance provided by or insurance procured on behalf of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, it shall not be a violation
of the condition set forth in this clause (iv) if such Letter
of Credit (1) is certified by an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower to be required by applicable insurance law or
regulation to provide, and does provide, that if there shall
occur with respect to the Issuing Bank one of the events
described in Article 17 of the 1993 revision of the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits of the
International Chamber of Commerce (Publication No. 500), as
the same may be revised, amended, supplemented or superseded,
the expiry date shall be extended until not later than a
specified number of days (the "Extension Period") after the

event and (2) provides for an expiry date prior to the
Termination Date by at least 30 days more than the number of

Letter of Credit is to be issued, specifying: (i) the date of issuance and
expiry date of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the proposed terms of such Letter of
Credit, including the face amount thereof and (iii) the transaction that is to

34
Bank's participation in such Letter of Credit and such Notice of Issuance shall
not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

Credit of demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing
Bank shall determine in accordance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit whether such demand for payment should be honored.

payment by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit should be honored,
the Issuing Bank shall make available to the beneficiary in accordance
with the terms of such Letter of Credit the amount of the drawing

the Borrower, the Agent and each Bank of the amount of such drawing
paid by it and the amount of each Bank's participation therein.

(d) Reimbursement and Other Payments by the Borrower.

(i) If any amount is drawn under any Letter of Credit,
the Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to reimburse the
Issuing Bank for all amounts paid by the Issuing Bank upon such
drawing, together with any and all reasonable charges and expenses
which any Bank or the Issuing Bank may pay or incur relative to such
drawing and interest on the amount drawn at the average rate charged
to the Issuing Bank on overnight Federal funds transactions for each
day from and including the date such amount is drawn to but excluding
the date such reimbursement payment is due and payable. Such
reimbursement payment shall be due and payable (x) not later than
12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date the Issuing Bank notifies
the Borrower of such drawing, if such notice is given at or before
10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such date, or (y) not later than
12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first Domestic Business Day
succeeding the date such notice is given, if such notice is given
after 10:00 A.M. (New York City time); provided that no payment
otherwise required by this sentence to be made by the Borrower not
later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any day shall be overdue

immediately available in New York City, to the Issuing Bank at its
address referred to in or pursuant to Section 9.01.

(e) Payments by Banks with Respect to Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Bank shall make available an amount equal to its

average rate charged to the Issuing Bank on overnight Federal funds
transactions on the date of such drawing as determined by the Issuing
Bank, at the Issuing Bank's address specified in or pursuant to
Section 9.01; provided that each Bank's obligation shall be reduced by
its pro rata share of any reimbursement theretofore paid by the
Borrower in respect of such drawing pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(i).
The Issuing Bank shall notify each Bank and the Agent of the amount of
such Bank's obligation in respect of any drawing under a Letter of
Credit not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day such
payment by such Bank is due. Each Bank shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Issuing Bank against the Borrower to the extent of all
amounts due from such Bank to the Issuing Bank, plus interest thereon,
for each day from and including the day such amount is due from such
Bank to the Issuing Bank to but excluding the day the Borrower makes

Bank after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on any Domestic Business Day
shall be deemed for purposes of the preceding sentence to have been
made on the next succeeding Domestic Business Day.

(iii) If the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for
any drawing under a Letter of Credit after the Banks shall have made
funds available to the Issuing Bank with respect to such drawing in
accordance with clause (i) of this subsection, the Issuing Bank shall
promptly upon receipt of such reimbursement distribute to each Bank
its pro rata share thereof, including interest, to the extent received
by the Issuing Bank.

(f) Letter of Credit Commission; Fronting Fee.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account
of the Banks, ratably in proportion to their Commitments or, if all
Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments
immediately before such termination, a letter of credit commission at
a rate per annum (the "Letter of Credit Commission Rate") determined
daily in accordance with the Pricing Schedule on the daily average
amount available for drawing (whether or not any conditions to drawing
can then be met) on all outstanding Letters of Credit. Such letter of
credit commission shall accrue from and including the Effective Date
to but excluding the Termination Date (or later date of expiration or
termination of the last Letter of Credit to expire or be terminated)
and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date, on
the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety and, if
later, on the date of expiration or termination of the last Letter of
Credit to expire or be terminated.

31
37
(ii) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank a fronting fee in the amounts and at the
times previously agreed between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank.

(g) Payment upon Acceleration. If the Commitments shall be

deposit in the Segregated Collateral Account an amount equal to the aggregate
amount which is then, or may thereafter become, available for drawing under all
outstanding Letters of Credit.

(h) Limited Liability of the Issuing Bank. The Borrower assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary and any transferee of any
Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. The Banks,
the Issuing Bank and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents
shall not be liable or responsible for, and the obligations of each Bank to
make payments (other than obligations of such Bank resulting solely from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank), and of the
Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for payments, pursuant to this Section
shall not be excused by, any action or inaction of any Bank or the Issuing Bank
related to (i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the
validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents presented under any Letter of
Credit, or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact
prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;
or (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank against presentation of documents to the
Issuing Bank which do not comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit,
including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference
to the Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall
have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to
the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed
to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by (i) the
Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether
documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or
(ii) the Issuing Bank's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after
the presentation to the Issuing Bank by any beneficiary (or a successor
beneficiary to whom such Letter of Credit has been transferred in accordance
with its terms) of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Issuing Bank
may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary unless any beneficiary (or a successor beneficiary
to whom such Letter of Credit has been transferred in accordance with its
terms) and

32
38
the Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Bank that such documents do not
comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. Each Bank
shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, indemnify the Issuing Bank
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense
(including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or
liability (except such as result from the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or
willful misconduct) that the Issuing Bank may suffer or incur in connection
with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank
hereunder.

the Commitments exceeds the aggregate Exposure. Such commitment fee shall
accrue from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination
Date (or earlier date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety).

or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, the aggregate amount of the Commitments
in excess of the aggregate Exposures of all Banks.

specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter,
the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of
interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the
provisions of Article 8), as follows:

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may
elect to convert such Loans to CD Loans as of any Domestic Business
Day or to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day;

(ii) if such Loans are CD Loans, the Borrower may elect to
convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans or elect to
continue such Loans as CD Loans for an additional Interest Period, in
each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable to such Loans; and

(iii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may
elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or CD Loans or elect to
continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest
Period, in each case effective on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a "Notice of Interest
Rate Election") to the Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) (x)
if the relevant Loans are to be converted to Domestic Loans or continued as
Domestic Loans for an additional Interest Period, the second Domestic Business
Day before such conversion or continuation is to be effective and (y) if the
relevant Loans are to be converted to Euro-Dollar Loans or continued as
Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the third Euro-Dollar
Business Day before such conversion or continuation is to be effective. A
Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a
portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans;
provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising
such Group of Loans and (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Interest Rate
Election applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are
each at least $1,000,000 and not more than one of such portions is other than a
multiple of $1,000,000.

(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such
notice applies;

34
40
(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation
selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with
the applicable clause of Section 2.11(a) above;

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be
converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Fixed Rate
Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto;
and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Fixed Rate Loans
for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional
Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall
comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(a) above, the Agent shall promptly notify
each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be
revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of
Interest Rate Election to the Agent for any Group of Fixed Rate Loans, such
Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, prepay a Group
of Base Rate Loans in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in
amounts aggregating $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying
the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to
the date of prepayment.

(b) The Borrower may, upon at least three Domestic Business Days'
notice to the Agent, in the case of a Group of CD Loans, or upon at least three
Euro-Dollar Business Days' notice to the Agent, in the case of a Group of
Euro-Dollar Loans, prepay the Loans comprising such Group in whole at any time,
or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $1,000,000 or any larger
multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together
with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment; provided that the
Borrower shall reimburse each Bank for any loss or expense incurred by it as a
result of any such prepayment in accordance with Section 2.14.

35
41
(c) Each prepayment of all or part of a Group of Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.12 shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several
Banks included in such Group.

(d) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this
Section, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and
of such Bank's ratable share of such prepayment and such notice shall not
thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.13 General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and
interest on, the Loans and of commissions and fees hereunder, not later than
12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds
immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at its address referred to
in or pursuant to Section 9.01. The Agent will promptly distribute to each
Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the
account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on,
the Domestic Loans or of commissions or fees shall be due on a day which is not
a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of,
or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a
Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day
falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof
shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any
payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest
thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on
such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the
extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall
repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank
together with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to such Bank to but excluding the date such Bank repays
such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

36
42
SECTION 2.14 Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of
principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan is
converted to a Base Rate Loan (whether such payment or conversion is pursuant
to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an applicable period
fixed pursuant to Section 2.06(d), or if the Borrower fails to borrow or prepay
any Fixed Rate Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with
Section 2.03(a) or 2.12(d), the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15
days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an
existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without
limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits
from third parties or terminating, covering, reversing or closing out interest
rate swap agreements with third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the
period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow or prepay;
provided that such Bank shall have promptly delivered to the Borrower a
certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense (setting forth in
reasonable detail, if the Borrower so requests, the calculation thereof), which
certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.15 Computation of Interest, Fees and Commissions. Interest
based on the Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other
interest, fees and commissions shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.16. Withholding Tax Exemption. At least five Domestic
Business Days prior to the first date on which interest, fees or commissions
are payable hereunder for the account of any Bank, each Bank that is not
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
agrees that it will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent (and, in the
case of any Bank with any Letter of Credit Exposure, the Issuing Bank) two duly
completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224,
certifying in either case that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under
this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes. Each Bank which so delivers a Form 1001 or 4224
further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent (and, in
the case of any Bank with any Letter of Credit Exposure, the Issuing Bank) two
additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that
such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such
amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Agent (or, in the case of any Bank with any
Letter of Credit Exposure, the Issuing Bank),

37
43
in each case certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under
this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes, unless an event (including, without limitation,
any change in any treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on
which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such
forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Bank from duly completing and
delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank advises the Borrower
and the Agent (and, in the case of any Bank with any Letter of Credit Exposure,
the Issuing Bank) that it is not capable of receiving payments without any
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

SECTION 2.17. Maximum Interest Rate. (a) Nothing contained in this
Agreement or the Notes shall require the Borrower to pay interest at a rate
exceeding the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Neither this Section
nor Section 9.08 is intended to limit the rate of interest payable for the
account of any Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to the maximum
rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York if a higher rate is
permitted with respect to such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by
supervening provisions of United States federal law.

(b) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Bank
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on any date in respect of the
immediately preceding interest computation period, computed pursuant to Section
2.06 or, in the case of interest on Reimbursement Obligations or other amounts
payable in respect of Letters of Credit, Section 2.07, would exceed the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount of interest payable for its account on
such date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount.

(c) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Bank
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in respect of any interest computation
period is reduced pursuant to clause (b) of this Section and the amount of
interest payable for its account in respect of any subsequent interest
computation period, computed pursuant to Section 2.06 or, in the case of
interest on Reimbursement Obligations or other amounts payable in respect of
Letters of Credit, Section 2.07, would be less than the maximum permissible
amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, then the amount of interest payable for its account
in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall be
automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount; provided that at no
time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any
Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, has been increased

38
44
pursuant to this clause (c) exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid
for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to clause (b) of this
Section.

ARTICLE 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower hereby makes the following representations and
warranties:

SECTION 4.01 Corporate Existence and Power. Each of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries party to any Financing Document is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry
on its business as now conducted except where the failure to obtain such
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not
materially adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or
consolidated results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries and would not in any manner draw into question the validity of any
Financing Document. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries on the Effective Date
other than those listed on Schedule IV hereto.

SECTION 4.02. Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No
Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries of each Financing Document to which it is a party are
within the Borrower's and each such Subsidiary's corporate powers, have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in
respect of,

42
48
or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not
contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or
regulation or of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower or
any such Subsidiary or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or
other instrument that is material, individually or in the aggregate, and that
is binding upon the Borrower or any such Subsidiary or result in the creation
or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (except the Liens created pursuant to the Pledge Agreement).

SECTION 4.03. Binding Effect; Liens of Pledge Agreement. (a) Each
Financing Document other than the Notes constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries party thereto,
enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, and the Notes, when
executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid
and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance
with their terms.

(b) The Pledge Agreement creates valid security interests in the
Collateral purported to be covered thereby, which security interests are and
will remain perfected security interests, prior to all Liens, subject, in the
case of the Pledged Stock, to the Agent's maintaining possession thereof.

SECTION 4.04. Financial Information; Valuations. (a) The Base
Financials, copies of which have been delivered to each of the Banks, fairly
present, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the
consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and their consolidated results of
operations and cash flows for the fiscal year of the Borrower then ended.

(b) The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996 and the
related unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows
for the nine months then ended, set forth in the Borrower's quarterly report
for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1996 as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q, a copy of which has been delivered to
each of the Banks, fairly present, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with the Base Financials,
the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and
cash flows for such nine month period (subject to normal year-end adjustments,
the absence of footnote disclosure and condensation pursuant to the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission).

43
49
(c) Since September 30, 1996, there has been no material adverse
change in the business, financial position, results of operations or prospects
of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

SECTION 4.05. Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Borrower's 1995
Form 10-K or the Borrower's quarterly report for the fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 1996 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form
10-Q, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the
knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body,
agency or official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
decision which could materially adversely affect the business, consolidated
financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Borrower and
its Consolidated Subsidiaries or which in any manner draws into question the
validity of any Financing Document.

SECTION 4.06. Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group
has complied with its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA
and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in
all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group
has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standards under Section 412 of
the Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any
contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or made any
amendment to any Plan, which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to
result, prior to the first anniversary of the Termination Date, in the
imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under Section
302(f) of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29) or 412(n) of the Internal Revenue Code,
(iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to
the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA or (iv) within the preceding
five plan years, with respect to any Other Plan, engaged in any transaction
described in Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA.

Section 4.07. Environmental Matters. (d) In the ordinary course of
its business, the Borrower conducts an ongoing review of the effect of
Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates
associated liabilities and costs. On the basis of this review, the Borrower
has reasonably concluded that Environmental Laws are unlikely to have a
material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries,
considered as a whole.

44
50
(b) As of the Effective Date, to the knowledge of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries no material claim, investigation or written inquiry has been
made, and the Borrower is not aware of any circumstance which would warrant or
give rise to such a claim, investigation or inquiry, with regard to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in respect of any facility owned, or to
the knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, leased or operated, either
now or in the past, by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended and in effect, or pursuant to any other Environmental Law, or by the
Environmental Protection Agency or by any state, local, municipal or foreign
enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the protection of the environment,
or by any other Person in respect of or under any Environmental Law.

SECTION 4.08. Taxes. United States federal income tax returns of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been closed through the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1992. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United
States federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are
required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such
returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries other than any such taxes the amount or validity of which is
currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which reserves in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles have been established. The charges, accruals and reserves on the
books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other
governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

SECTION 4.09. Title to and Condition of Properties. As of the
Effective Date (e) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title to all of the properties and other assets (real or personal, tangible,
intangible or mixed) they own or purport to own and (f) all leases to which the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party as lessee or sublessee are in
full force and effect, except for such defects in title and such invalidity or
unenforceability of leases as, in the aggregate, could not materially adversely
affect the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business affairs or
business prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.10. Not an Investment Company. Neither the Borrower nor
any of its Subsidiaries is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by
an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.

45
51
Section 4.11. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished
in writing by the Borrower to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank or
otherwise to the Banks generally for purposes of or in connection with this
Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby was true and accurate in all
material respects on the date as of which such information was stated or
certified. The Borrower has disclosed to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Banks in writing any and all facts which materially and adversely affect, or
may so affect (to the extent the Borrower can now reasonably foresee), the
business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries party to any of the Financing Documents to perform its
obligations under any Financing Document to which it is a party.

SECTION 4.12. Representations in Subsidiary Guaranty and Pledge
Agreement. Each representation and warranty contained in the Subsidiary
Guaranty or the Pledge Agreement is true and correct.

SECTION 4.13. Existing Letters of Credit. Schedule V hereto
identifies each Existing Letter of Credit outstanding as of November 30, 1996.

liability (other than for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA) in respect of,
or to cause a trustee to be appointed to administer any Material Plan; or (iv)
a condition shall

61
67
exist by reason of which the PBGC would be entitled to obtain a decree
adjudicating that any Material Plan must be terminated; or (v) any of the
events described in clause (iii) above shall occur with respect to any Other

occur a complete or partial withdrawal from, or a default, within the meaning
of Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA, with respect to, one or more (A) multiemployer
plans, within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA (which plans are not
Multiemployer Plans), with respect to which a member of the ERISA Group shall
have engaged, within the previous five plan years, in a transaction described
in Section 4212(c) of ERISA, or (B) Multiemployer Plans, which could reasonably
be expected to result in the incurrence by one or more members of the ERISA
Group of a current payment obligation in excess of $1,000,000; provided that no
Event of Default shall occur under clause (v) or (vi) if (A) the Unfunded
Liabilities of the Other Plans in respect of which events described in clause

Collateral, securing all of the Secured Obligations purported to be secured
thereby, subject to no other Liens other than Liens permitted under Section
5.11(a)(xi) as to which the Liens created under the Pledge Agreement have
priority; then, and in every such event, the Agent shall (i) if requested by
Banks having more than 66 2/3% in aggregate amount of the Commitments, by

ARTICLE 7

THE AGENT

SECTION 7.01. Appointment and Authorizations. Each Bank
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on
its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Financing Documents as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto.

SECTION 7.02. Agent and Affiliates. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Guaranty Trust Company
of New York shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents
as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as
though it were not the Agent or the Issuing Bank, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Guaranty Trust
Company of New York and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Agent or the
Issuing Bank hereunder.

SECTION 7.03. Action by Agent. The obligations of the Agent
hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action
with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

SECTION 7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 7.05. Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it in connection herewith (a) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Banks or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. 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 the Financing Documents or any borrowing or letter of credit
hereunder, (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries party to any Financing
Document, (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3,
except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent, or (iv) the
validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Financing Document or any other
instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Agent shall not
incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any

64
70
notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank
wire, telex, facsimile transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be
genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 7.06. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in
accordance with its Total Exposure, indemnify the Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees
and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as
result from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the Agent
may suffer or incur in connection with any Financing Document or any action
taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 7.07. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any other Bank, 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 any action under this
Agreement.

SECTION 7.08. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time,
effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent and such successor Agent's
acceptance of such appointment, by giving written notice thereof to the Banks,
the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon the giving of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Banks (with, unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the written consent of the Borrower (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld)) shall have the right to appoint a successor
Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on
behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial
bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of
any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the
effectiveness of any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

65
71
SECTION 7.09. Agent's Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for
its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon

ARTICLE 8.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

SECTION 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Fixed
Rate Loan:

(a) the Agent is advised by the Reference Banks that deposits in
dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Reference
Banks in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or

(b) Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate principal amount of
the affected Loans advise the Agent that the Adjusted CD Rate or the Adjusted
London Interbank Offered Rate, as the case may be, as determined by the Agent
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their
CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, for such Interest Period,

the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks,
whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to
make CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, or to convert
outstanding Loans into CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended and
(ii) each outstanding CD Loan or Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a
Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business
Days before the date of any Fixed Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of
Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date,
such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 8.02. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this
Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change therein, 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 any Bank (or its
Euro-Dollar 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 any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar
Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank
shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the
other Banks and the Borrower,

66
72
whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of
such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Domestic Loans
into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the
Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different
Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving
such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Bank. If such notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan
of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (a)
on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such
Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may
not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day.

SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If on or after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable
law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, 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 any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any Bank (or its Applicable Lending
Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its
Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans,
or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or its
Applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its
Fixed Rate Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in
respect of its Fixed Rate Loans or its obligation to make Fixed Rate
Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income
of such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office imposed by the
jurisdiction in which such Bank's principal executive office or
Applicable Lending Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without
limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, but excluding (A) with respect to any CD
Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Domestic Reserve
Percentage or Assessment Rate and (B) with respect to any Euro-Dollar
Loan any such requirement included in a Euro-Dollar Reserve
Percentage) against assets

67
73
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any
Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank
(or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for
certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting its Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation
to make Fixed Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or
its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its
Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect
thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days
after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to
such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for
such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law,
rule or regulation, or any change therein, 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 Issuing Bank or any Bank with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation,
any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System) against letters of credit issued by the Issuing Bank or participations
in letters of credit by any Bank or (ii) impose on the Issuing Bank or any Bank
any other condition (including, without limitation, any assessment for federal
deposit insurance) regarding any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank's
obligation to issue any Letter of Credit or any Bank's obligation to pay the
Issuing Bank its ratable share of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, and
the result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this subsection is
to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank or such Bank of issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or participating therein or making any payment under any
Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be determined on the basis of
the Issuing Bank's or such Bank's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of
such cost increases resulting from such events), then, within 15 days after
demand by the Issuing Bank or such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank or such Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate the Issuing Bank or such Bank for such increased
cost.

(c) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof,
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof

68
74
by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a
consequence of such Bank's obligations hereunder or under or with respect to
the Letters of Credit (including any participation therein) to a level below
that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption,
change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material,
then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy
to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction.

(d) Each of the Issuing Bank and the Banks will promptly notify the
Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after
the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this
Section. Each Bank will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
compensation and will not, in its judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to it.
A certificate of the Issuing Bank or any Bank claiming compensation under this
Section and setting forth in reasonable detail an explanation of the basis for
requesting such compensation and stating the additional amount or amounts to be
paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In
determining such amount, the Issuing Bank or such Bank may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods.

SECTION 8.04. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate
Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans
has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded
compensation under Section 8.03(a) with respect to its CD Loans or Euro-Dollar
Loans or its obligation to make CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower
shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days' prior notice to such Bank
through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply
to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no
longer apply:

(a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or
continued as or converted to) CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may
be, shall instead be made as (or continued as or, effective (i) on the last day
of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless clause (b) of the
last

69
75
sentence of Section 8.02 shall apply or (ii) immediately upon the giving of
notice referred to in such sentence if such clause (b) shall apply, converted
to) Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable
contemporaneously with the related Fixed Rate Loans of the other Banks), and

(b) after each of its CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may
be, has been repaid (or converted to a Base Rate Loan), all payments of
principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Fixed Rate Loans shall
be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

If such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer apply, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall
be converted into a CD Loan or a Euro-Dollar Loan, as the case may be, on the
first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related CD
Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks.

ARTICLE 9.

or telex or facsimile transmission number set forth on the signature pages
hereof, (y) in the case of any Bank, at its address or telex or facsimile
transmission number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z) in the
case of any party, at such other address or telex or facsimile transmission

is received, (ii) if given by facsimile transmission, when such facsimile is
transmitted to the facsimile transmission number specified in or pursuant to
this Section and telephonic confirmation of receipt thereof is received, (iii)
if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails
with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iv) if given by
any other means, when delivered at the address specified in or pursuant to this
Section; provided that notices to the Agent or the Issuing Bank under Article 2
or Article 8 shall not be effective until received.

SECTION 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege under any
Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or
partial exercise

70
76
thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall
be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Indemnification. (a) The
Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent and the Issuing
Bank, including reasonable fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the
Agent, in connection with the preparation of the Financing Documents, any
waiver or consent thereunder or any amendment thereof or any Default or alleged
Default thereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank, including
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, including in-house counsel, in
connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency
and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. The Borrower shall
indemnify each Bank, the Agent and the Issuing Bank against (A) any transfer
taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental
authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents
and (B) all costs, expenses and taxes, assessments or other charges incurred in
connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any Lien
contemplated by any of the Financing Documents or any document referred to
therein or the filing or recording of any termination statement with respect to
the release of any Lien on any Collateral.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Bank and the
Issuing Bank and hold the Agent, each Bank and the Issuing Bank harmless from
and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any
kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel, which may be incurred by the Agent, any Bank or the Issuing Bank in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
(whether or not the Agent, such Bank or the Issuing Bank shall be designated a
party thereto) relating to or arising out of the Financing Documents or any
actual or proposed use of Letters of Credit or proceeds of Loans hereunder;
provided that neither the Agent nor the Issuing Bank or any Bank shall have the
right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.04. Sharing of Set-Offs. Each Bank agrees that if it shall,
by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due
with respect to any Note held by it and its participation in any Reimbursement
Obligation and interest (if any) thereon (collectively, its "Relevant Debt")
which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of
the Relevant Debt of such

71
77
other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall
purchase such participations in the Relevant Debt of the other Banks, and such
other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments
with respect to the Relevant Debt of the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro
rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank
to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the
amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower
other than its Relevant Debt. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it
may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation
in a Note or Reimbursement Obligation, whether or not acquired pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and
other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a
participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

SECTION 9.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement
or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver
is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the
rights or duties of the Issuing Bank or the Agent are affected thereby, by the
Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be); provided that no such amendment
or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks, (i) increase or decrease any
Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all
Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the
principal of or the rate of interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or
any commissions or fees hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed pursuant to
Section 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08 or 2.10 for any payment of principal of or
interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commissions or fees
hereunder or for the termination of any Commitment, (iv) agree to release all
or substantially all of the Collateral, (v) release any Material Subsidiary
from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty (other than pursuant to the
terms thereof) or (vi) change the percentage of the Commitments, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of the Notes or the Loans or of the aggregate Letter of
Credit Exposures, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks
or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of
this Agreement.

SECTION 9.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks.

72
78
(b) Any Bank may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent or
the Issuing Bank, upon notice to the Borrower, the Agent and, if any
participating interest in any Letter of Credit or Commitment is to be so
granted, the Issuing Bank, grant to one or more banks or other institutions
(each a "Participant") participating interests in its Commitments or any or all
of its Loans or its participations in Letters of Credit; provided that each
participating interest shall represent an aggregate interest therein of at
least $1,000,000. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating
interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower, the
Agent and the Issuing Bank, such Bank shall remain responsible for the
performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower, the Agent and the
Issuing Bank shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in
connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest
shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to
enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without
limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may
provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver
of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.05
without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be
entitled to the benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participating
interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by Section
9.06(c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only
to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this
subsection (b).

(c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or other
institutions (each an "Assignee") all, or a proportionate part of all, of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and such Assignee
shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto executed by
such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the subscribed
consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Agent
and, if any participation in any Letter of Credit or Commitment is to be
assigned, the Issuing Bank; provided that if an Assignee is, prior to such
assignment, a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank, no such consent shall be
required; and provided further that, (i) unless the Loans, Commitments and

Commitments and participations in Letters of Credit of such assignor Bank, the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans, Commitments and participations in
Letters of Credit assigned shall not be less than $10,000,000 and (ii) any such

Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights
and obligations of a Bank with Commitments as set forth in such instrument of
assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations
hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any

Exposure or Commitment has been assigned, the Issuing Bank) certification as to
exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes in accordance with Section 2.16.

(d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such
assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank's
rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 than
such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights
transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower's prior written
consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.03 requiring such
Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain
circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater
payment did not exist.

SECTION 9.07. Margin Stock. Each of the Banks represents to the
Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is

any Person other than the Agent or another Bank any information delivered or
made available by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to it and indicated
in writing as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Bank
from disclosing such information (a) to any other Person who is a director,
officer or employee of such Bank or any of its affiliates if reasonably
incidental to the administration of the Loans, (b) upon the order of any court
or administrative agency, (c) upon the request or demand of, or pursuant to any
regulation of, any regulatory agency or authority, (d) which had been publicly
