ARTICLE II.          THE REVOLVING LOAN FACILITIES

          2.1.          Revolving Loans.  Upon the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, from and including the
date of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date, each Lender severally
and not jointly agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
to make revolving loans to the Borrower from time to time, in Dollars, in an
amount not to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of Revolving
Credit Availability at such time (each individually, a “Revolving Loan” and,
collectively, the “Revolving Loans”); provided, however, at no time shall the
Revolving Credit Obligations exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. 
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and
reborrow Revolving Loans at any time prior to the Termination Date.  On the
Termination Date, the Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding principal
balance of the Revolving Loans.  Each Advance under this Section 2.1 shall
consist of Revolving Loans made by each Lender ratably in proportion to such
Lender’s respective Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share.  The initial Aggregate
Revolving Loan Commitment is One Hundred Twenty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars
($125,000,000)

          2.2          Rate Options for All Advances.  The Revolving Loans may
be Floating Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances, or a combination thereof,
selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.8.  The Borrower may
select, in accordance with Section 2.8, Rate Options and Interest Periods
applicable to portions of the Revolving Loans; provided that there shall be no
more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Loans
at any time.

          2.3.          Prepayments. 

          (A)          Optional Payments.  The Borrower may from time to time
repay or prepay, without penalty or premium all or, in an aggregate of amount of
$1,000,000.00 or any larger integral multiple thereof, part of outstanding
Floating Rate Advances.  The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the
indemnification provisions contained in Section 4.4, all outstanding Eurodollar
Rate Advances or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or any larger
integral multiple thereof, part of the outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances,
provided, that the Borrower may not so prepay Eurodollar Rate Advances unless it
shall have provided at least three Business Days’ written notice to the
Administrative Agent of such prepayment.

          (B)          Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)          If at any time and for any reason the Revolving Credit Obligations
are greater than the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall
immediately make a mandatory prepayment of the Obligations in an amount equal to
such excess.  In addition, if Revolving Credit Availability is at any time less
than the amount of contingent L/C Obligations outstanding at any time, the
Borrower shall deposit cash collateral with the Administrative Agent in an
amount equal to the amount by which such L/C Obligations exceed such Revolving
Credit Availability.

(ii)         Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.3(B) and the
indemnification provisions contained in Section 4.4, all of the mandatory
prepayments made under this Section 2.3(B) shall be applied first to Floating
Rate Loans and to any Eurodollar Rate Loans maturing on such date and then to
subsequently maturing Eurodollar Rate Loans in order of maturity.

          2.4.          Reduction of Commitments.

(a)          The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan
Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders, in an aggregate
minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 with respect to each such Commitment and
integral multiples of $500,000.00 in excess of that amount with respect to each
such Commitment (unless the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced in
whole), upon at least one Business Day’s written notice to the Administrative
Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction; provided,
however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may not be
reduced below the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit
Obligations.

(b)          All accrued commitment fees shall be payable on the effective date
of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder.

          2.5.          Method of Borrowing.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago
time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving
Loan in funds immediately available in Indianapolis to the Administrative Agent
at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV.  The Administrative Agent will
promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower
at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

          2.6.          Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for
Advances.  The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of
each Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance
from time to time.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable
notice in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Borrowing Notice”) not
later than 11:30 a.m. (Chicago time) (a) on the Borrowing Date of each Floating
Rate Advance and (b) three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each
Eurodollar Rate Advance, specifying:  (i) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a
Business Day) of such Advance; (ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance;
(iii) the Type of Advance selected; and (iv) in the case of each Eurodollar Rate
Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.  The Borrower shall select
Interest Periods so that, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, it will not
be necessary to prepay all or any portion of any Eurodollar Rate Advance prior
to the last day of the applicable Interest Period in order to make mandatory
prepayments as required pursuant to the terms hereof.  Each Floating Rate
Advance and all Obligations other than Loans shall bear interest from and
including the date of the making of such Advance to (but not including) the date
of repayment thereof at the Floating Rate, changing when and as such Floating
Rate changes.  Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance
maintained as a Floating Rate Loan will take effect simultaneously with each
change in the Alternate Base Rate.  Each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall bear
interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the
interest rate determined as applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Advance.

          2.7.          Minimum Amount of Each Advance.  Each Advance (other
than an Advance to repay a Reimbursement Obligation) shall be in the minimum
amount of $1,000,000.00 (and in multiples of $500,000.00 if in excess thereof);
provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the
Revolving Credit Availability; provided, further, that the portion of each
Advance which is a Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be in the minimum amount of
$100,000.00.

          2.8.          Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for
Conversion and Continuation of Advances.

          (A)          Right to Convert/Breakage Costs.  The Borrower may elect
from time to time, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 and this
Section 2.8, to convert all or any part of a Loan of any Type into any other
Type or Types of Loans; provided that any conversion of any Eurodollar Rate
Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Borrower shall be liable for all
amounts pursuant to Section 4.4 as a result of the conversion prior to the end
of the applicable Interest Period.

          (B)          Automatic Conversion and Continuation.  Floating Rate
Loans shall continue as Floating Rate Loans unless and until such Floating Rate
Loans are converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans until the end of the then applicable Interest
Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically
converted into Floating Rate Loans unless the Borrower shall have given the
Administrative Agent notice in accordance with Section 2.8(D) requesting that,
at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Rate Loans continue as a
Eurodollar Rate Loan.

          (C)          No Conversion Post-Default or Post-Unmatured Default. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.8(A) or
Section 2.8(B), no Loan may be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Rate
Loan (except with the consent of the Required Lenders) when any Default or
Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing.

          (D)         Conversion/Continuation Notice.  The Borrower shall give
the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”)
of each conversion of a Floating Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan or
continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan not later than 11:30 a.m. (Chicago time)
three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or
continuation, specifying:  (1) the requested date (which shall be a Business
Day) of such conversion or continuation; (2) the amount and Type of the Loan to
be converted or continued; and (3) the amount of Eurodollar Rate Loan(s) into
which such Loan is to be converted or continued and the duration of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

          2.9.          Default Rate.  After the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default, at the option of the Administrative Agent or at the
direction of the Required Lenders, the interest rate(s) applicable to the
Obligations and the fees payable under Section 3.8 with respect to Letters of
Credit shall be increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum above the Floating
Rate or Eurodollar Rate, as applicable.

          2.10.         Method of Payment.  All payments of principal, interest,
and fees hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, in
immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIV, or at any other Lending
Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the
Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date
when due and shall be made ratably among the Lenders (unless such amount is not
to be shared ratably in accordance with the terms hereof).  Each payment
delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be
delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type
of funds which the Administrative Agent received at its address specified
pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice
received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender.  The Borrower authorizes
the Administrative Agent to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with
LaSalle Bank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due
hereunder.  LaSalle Bank will notify the Borrower of any such charges.

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

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

          2.13.         Promise to Pay; Interest and Commitment Fees; Interest
Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis; Taxes; Loan and Control Accounts.

          (A)          Promise to Pay.  The Borrower unconditionally promises to

(i)           The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Lenders as provided herein below, from and after the Closing Date
until the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be
terminated in whole, a commitment fee accruing at the rate of the then
Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage, on the amount by which (x) the Aggregate
Revolving Loan Commitment exceeds (y) the Revolving Credit Obligations from time

payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter
occurring after the Closing Date (with the first such payment being calculated
for the period from the Closing Date and ending on September 30, 2004), and, in
addition, on the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be

For purposes of this Section 2.13(D)(ii), the Leverage Ratio shall be determined
as of the last day of each fiscal quarter based upon (a) for Funded Indebtedness
as of the last day of each such fiscal quarter; and (b) for EBITDA, the actual
amount for the four-quarter period ending on such day.  Upon receipt of the
financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(A)(i)  (with regard to a
month ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter) and (ii), as applicable, the
Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Eurodollar Margin, Applicable L/C
Fee Percentage and Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be adjusted, such
adjustment being effective on the fifth Business Day following the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of such financial statements and the compliance
certificate required to be delivered in connection therewith pursuant to
Section 7.1(A)(iii); provided, that if the Borrower shall not have timely
delivered its financial statements in accordance with Section 7.1(A)(i) (with
regard to a month ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter) or (ii), as
applicable, then commencing on the date upon which such financial statements
should have been delivered and continuing until such financial statements are
actually delivered, it shall be assumed for purposes of determining the
Applicable Floating Rate Margin, Applicable Eurodollar Margin, Applicable L/C
Fee Percentage and Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage that the Leverage Ratio
was greater than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0.  With regard to the period commencing
on the Closing Date until adjusted pursuant to the preceding provisions
following the first delivery of financial statements pursuant to
Section 7.1(A)(i), the Applicable Eurodollar Margin shall be 1.50%, the
Applicable L/C Fee Percentage shall be 1.25% and the Applicable Floating Rate
Margin shall be 0.00%.

          (E)          Taxes. 

(i)          Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings or any liabilities with
respect thereto including those arising after the date hereof as a result of the
adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or
determination of a Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or
application thereof by a Governmental Authority but excluding, in the case of
each Lender and the Administrative Agent, such taxes (including income taxes,
franchise taxes and branch profit taxes) as are imposed on or measured by such
Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, income by the United
States of America or any Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction under the
laws of which such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is
organized or maintains a Lending Installation (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities which the
Administrative Agent or a Lender determines to be applicable to this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Loans or the
Letters of Credit being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If the Borrower
shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary
so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.13(E)) such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall
make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable law.  If a withholding tax of the United States of America or any
other Governmental Authority shall be or become applicable (y) after the date of
this Agreement, to such payments by the Borrower made to the Lending
Installation or any other office that a Lender may claim as its Lending
Installation, or (z) after such Lender’s selection and designation of any other
Lending Installation, to such payments made to such other Lending Installation,
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make, fund and maintain its Loans
through another Lending Installation of such Lender in another jurisdiction so
as to reduce the Borrower’s liability hereunder, if the making, funding or
maintenance of such Loans through such other Lending Installation of such Lender
does not, in the judgment of such Lender, otherwise adversely affect such Loans,
or obligations under the Commitments or such Lender.

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

(iii)        The Borrower indemnifies each Lender and the Administrative Agent
for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable
under this Section 2.13(E)) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as
the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification shall be made
within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent
(as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.  A certificate as to any
additional amount payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this
Section 2.13(E) submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (if a
Lender is so submitting) by such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall show
in reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine
such amount and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto.  With respect to such deduction or withholding for or
on account of any Taxes and to confirm that all such Taxes have been paid to the
appropriate Governmental Authorities, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any
event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt) furnish to each Lender and
the Administrative Agent such certificates, receipts and other documents as may
be required (in the judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent) to
establish any tax credit to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent may be
entitled.

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

(v)          Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
this Section 2.13(E) shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this
Agreement.

(vi)         Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under this Section
2.13(E), each Lender that is not created or organized under the laws of the
United States of America or a political subdivision thereof shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the Closing Date, or, if
later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 13.3,
a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized
officer of such Lender, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Lender is capable under the
provisions of an applicable tax treaty concluded by the United States of America
(in which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two executed copies of
Form 1001 of the IRS) or under Section 1442 of the Code (in which case the
certificate shall be accompanied by two copies of Form 4224 of the IRS, or, if
such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, two completed and signed copies of IRS Form W-8 or W-9 or the applicable
successor form) of receiving payments of interest hereunder without deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax.  Each such Lender further
agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time
a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized
officer of such Lender substantially in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent certificate previously delivered by it to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.13(E)(vi). 
Further, each Lender which delivers a certificate accompanied by Form 1001 of
the IRS covenants and agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent within fifteen (15) days prior to January 1, 2005, and every anniversary
of such date thereafter on which this Agreement is still in effect, another such
certificate and two accurate and complete original signed copies of Form 1001
(or any successor form or forms required under the Code or the applicable
regulations promulgated thereunder), and each Lender that delivers a Form W-8 or
W-9 as prescribed above or a certificate accompanied by Form 4224 of the IRS
covenants and agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
within fifteen (15) days prior to the beginning of each subsequent taxable year
of such Lender during which this Agreement is still in effect, another such Form
W-8 or W-9 or another such certificate and two accurate and complete original
signed copies of IRS Form 4224 (or any successor form or forms required under
the Code or the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder).  Each such
certificate shall certify as to one of the following:

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

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

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

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

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

          (G)          Entries Binding.  The entries made in the Register and
each Loan Account shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error, unless the Borrower objects to information contained in the
Register and each Loan Account within thirty (30) days of the Borrower’s receipt
of such information.

          2.14.          Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments
and Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Reductions.  Promptly after receipt
thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of
each Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice,
Continuation/Conversion Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. 
The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable
to each Eurodollar Rate Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate
and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base
Rate.

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

          2.16.          Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. 
Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative
Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the
Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or
(ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend
to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has
been made.  The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make
the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon
such assumption.  If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in
fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such
payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the
Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon
in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was
so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative
Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of
payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in
the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the
relevant Loan.

          2.17.          Termination Date.  This Agreement shall be effective
until the Termination Date.  Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement
on the Termination Date, until all of the Obligations (other than contingent
indemnity obligations) shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid and
satisfied, all financing arrangements among the Borrower and the Lenders shall
have been terminated and all of the Letters of Credit shall have expired, been
canceled or terminated, all of the rights and remedies under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall survive.

         2.18.          Extension of Revolving Loan Termination Date.  Unless
the Commitments shall have been terminated in their entirety or a Default or
Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by written
notice to the Administrative Agent given no later than thirty (30) days but not
sooner than ninety (90) days prior to the then applicable Revolving Loan
Termination Date, request that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders extend
the Revolving Loan Termination Date to a Business Day falling not more than 364
days after the then current Revolving Loan Termination Date.  The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to extend the Revolving Loan
Termination Date and any decision to extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date
must be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and all Lenders.  Any decision to
extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date shall be in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall be evidenced by
a writing executed by each of them.

          2.19.          Replacement of Certain Lenders.  In the event a Lender
(“Affected Lender”) shall have:  (i) failed to fund its applicable Pro Rata
Share of any Advance requested by the Borrower, or to fund a Revolving Loan in
respect of L/C Obligations, which such Lender is obligated to fund under the
terms of this Agreement and which failure has not been cured, (ii) requested
compensation from the Borrower under Sections 2.13(E), 4.1 or 4.2 to recover
Taxes, Other Taxes or other additional costs incurred by such Lender which are
not being incurred generally by the other Lenders, (iii) delivered a notice
pursuant to Section 4.3 claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Eurodollar
Rate Loans to the Borrower for reasons not generally applicable to the other
Lenders or (iv) has invoked Section 10.2, then, in any such case, the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent in the case of a demand by the Borrower
and a copy to the Borrower in the case of a demand by the Administrative Agent)
for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall use its best
efforts to assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment Agreements
five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more financial
institutions that comply with the provisions of Section 13.3(A) which the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have engaged for
such purpose (“Replacement Lender”), all of such Affected Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, its Revolving Loan Commitment, all Loans owing to it, all of
its participation interests in existing Letters of Credit, and its obligation to
participate in additional Letters of Credit hereunder) in accordance with
Section 13.3.  The Administrative Agent agrees, upon the occurrence of such
events with respect to an Affected Lender and upon the written request of the
Borrower, to use its reasonable efforts to obtain the commitments from one or
more financial institutions to act as a Replacement Lender.  The Administrative
Agent is authorized to execute one or more of such assignment agreements as
attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender failing to execute and deliver the same
within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand.  Further, with
respect to such assignment the Affected Lender shall have concurrently received,
in cash, all amounts due and owing to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender, together with accrued
interest thereon through the date of such assignment, amounts payable under
Sections 2.13(E), 4.1, and 4.2 with respect to such Affected Lender and
compensation payable under Section 2.13(C) in the event of any replacement of
any Affected Lender under clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 2.19;
provided that upon such Affected Lender’s replacement, such Affected Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.13(E), 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, and 10.7, as well as to any fees
accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid, and shall continue to be
obligated under Section 11.8 with respect to obligations of the Affected Lender
which accrued but were not yet paid under Section 11.8 at the time of the
assignment to the Replacement Lender.  Upon the replacement of any Affected
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19, the provisions of Section 9.2 shall
continue to apply with respect to Borrowings which are then outstanding with
respect to which the Affected Lender failed to fund its applicable Pro Rata
Share and which failure has not been cured.

ARTICLE III.          THE LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

          3.1.          Obligation to Issue.  Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations,
warranties and covenants of the Borrower herein set forth, each Issuing Bank
hereby agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower through such Issuing
Bank’s branches as it and the Borrower may jointly agree, one or more Letters of
Credit denominated in Dollars in accordance with this Article III, from time to
time during the period, commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Business
Day prior to the Termination Date.  All Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing
Bank and outstanding on the date hereof shall be deemed to be issued under and
subject to the terms of this Agreement.

          3.2.          [Intentionally Omitted].

          3.3.          Types and Amounts.  No Issuing Bank shall have any
obligation to and no Issuing Bank shall:

(i)          issue any Letter of Credit if on the date of issuance, before or
after giving effect to the Letter of Credit requested hereunder, the Revolving
Credit Obligations at such time would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan
Commitment at such time; or

(ii)         issue any Letter of Credit which has an expiration date later than
the date which is fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the Termination Date.

          3.4.          Conditions.  In addition to being subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the obligation
of an Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction
in full of the following conditions:

(i)          the Borrower shall have delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank at
such times and in such manner as such Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe, a
request for issuance of such Letter of Credit in substantially the form of
Exhibit D hereto, duly executed applications for such Letter of Credit, and such
other applications, documents, instructions and agreements as may be required
pursuant to the terms thereof, and the proposed Letter of Credit shall be
reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank as to form and content (if LaSalle
Bank is the Issuing Bank, such documents will include, but not be limited to,
LaSalle Bank’s Master Letter of Credit Agreement); and

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

          3.5.          Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article III and
provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof
have been satisfied, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date,
issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such
Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices and, in this connection,
such Issuing Bank may assume that the applicable conditions set forth in
Section 5.2 hereof have been satisfied unless it shall have received notice to
the contrary from the Administrative Agent or a Lender or has knowledge that the
applicable conditions have not been met.

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

(c)          No Issuing Bank shall extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless
the requirements of this Section 3.5 are met as though a new Letter of Credit
was being requested and issued. 

          3.6.          Letter of Credit Participation.  Immediately upon the
issuance of each Letter of Credit hereunder, each Lender with a Revolving Loan
Pro Rata Share shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from the applicable Issuing Bank an
undivided interest and participation in and to such Letter of Credit, the
obligations of the Borrower in respect thereof, and the liability of such
Issuing Bank thereunder (collectively, an “L/C Interest”) in an amount equal to
the amount available for drawing under such Letter of Credit multiplied by such
Lender’s Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share.  Each Issuing Bank will notify each
Lender promptly upon presentation to it of an L/C Draft or upon any other draw
under a Letter of Credit.  On or before the Business Day on which an Issuing
Bank makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, in the case of any other draw on a
Letter of Credit, on demand by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall make
payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing
Bank, in immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s
Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment or draw.  The
obligation of each Lender to reimburse the Issuing Banks under this Section 3.6
shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute.  In the event that
any Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due
under this Section 3.6, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive,
retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise
payable to such Lender hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such
payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall relieve such
Lender of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for such
amount in accordance with this Section 3.6.

          3.7.          Reimbursement Obligation.  The Borrower agrees
unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely to pay immediately to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the amount of each advance
which may be drawn under or pursuant to a Letter of Credit or an L/C Draft
related thereto (such obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative
Agent for an advance made under a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft being
hereinafter referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation” with respect to such
Letter of Credit or L/C Draft).  If the Borrower at any time fails to repay a
Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have elected to borrow Revolving Loans from the Lenders, as of the
date of the advance giving rise to the Reimbursement Obligation, equal in amount
to the amount of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation.  Such Revolving Loans
shall be made as of the date of the payment giving rise to such Reimbursement
Obligation, automatically, without notice and without any requirement to satisfy
the conditions precedent otherwise applicable to an Advance of Revolving Loans. 
Such Revolving Loans shall constitute a Floating Rate Advance, the proceeds of
which Advance shall be used to repay such Reimbursement Obligation.  If, for any
reason, the Borrower fails to repay a  Reimbursement Obligation on the day such
Reimbursement Obligation arises and, for any reason, the Lenders are unable to
make or have no obligation to make Revolving Loans, then such Reimbursement
Obligation shall bear interest from and after such day, until paid in full, at
the interest rate applicable to a Floating Rate Advance.

          3.8.          Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay
(i) quarterly on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, in arrears, to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, except as set
forth in Section 9.2, a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable L/C Fee Percentage on the average daily outstanding face amount
available for drawing under all Letters of Credit, (ii) quarterly, in arrears,
to the Administrative Agent for the sole account of each Issuing Bank, a letter
of credit fronting fee of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum on the
average daily outstanding face amount available for drawing under all Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, and (iii) to the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of each Issuing Bank, all customary fees and other issuance,
amendment, document examination, negotiation and presentment expenses and
related charges in connection with the issuance, amendment, presentation of L/C
Drafts, and the like customarily charged by such Issuing Banks with respect to
standby and commercial Letters of Credit, including, without limitation,
standard commissions with respect to commercial Letters of Credit, payable at
the time of invoice of such amounts.

          3.9.          Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements.  In addition to the
notices required by Section 3.5(C), each Issuing Bank shall, no later than the
tenth Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the
Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, schedules, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing
the date of issue, account party, amount, expiration date and the reference
number of each Letter of Credit issued by it outstanding at any time during such
month and the aggregate amount payable by the Borrower during such month.  In
addition, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of any Letter of Credit and any
application for or reimbursement agreement with respect to a Letter of Credit to
which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably
be requested by the Administrative Agent.  Upon the request of any Lender, the
Administrative Agent will provide to such Lender information concerning such
Letters of Credit.

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

          (B)          As among the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Banks, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and
omissions of, or misuse of such Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any
Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit applications and Letter of
Credit reimbursement agreements executed by the Borrower at the time of request
for any Letter of Credit, neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor
any Lender shall be responsible (in the absence of Gross Negligence or willful
misconduct in connection therewith, as determined by the final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction):  (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in
connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even
if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in
whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;
(iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with
conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for
errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or other similar form of
teletransmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical
trade terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of
the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and
(viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, including, without
limitation, any Governmental Acts.  None of the above shall affect, impair, or
prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this
Section 3.10. 

          (C)          In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the
specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any
Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related
certificates shall not, in the absence of Gross Negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, put the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of
any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

          (D)          Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower
contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal
and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the
termination of this Agreement.

          3.11.          Cash Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any application for a Letter of Credit, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of Default, the Borrower shall, upon the
Administrative Agent’s or the Required Banks’ demand, deliver to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, cash,
or other collateral of a type satisfactory to the Required Lenders, having a
value, as determined by such Lenders, equal to the aggregate outstanding L/C
Obligations.  In addition, if the Revolving Credit Availability is at any time
less than the amount of contingent L/C Obligations outstanding at any time, the
Borrower shall deposit cash collateral with the Administrative Agent in an
amount equal to the amount by which such L/C Obligations exceed such Revolving
Credit Availability.  Any such collateral shall be held by the Administrative
Agent in a separate account appropriately designated as a cash collateral
account in relation to this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and retained by
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks as
collateral security for the Borrower’s obligations in respect of this Agreement
and each of the Letters of Credit and L/C Drafts.  Such amounts shall be applied
to reimburse the Issuing Banks for drawings or payments under or pursuant to
Letters of Credit or L/C Drafts, or if no such reimbursement is required, to
payment of such of the other Obligations as the Administrative Agent shall
determine.  If no Default shall be continuing, amounts remaining in any cash
collateral account established pursuant to this Section 3.11 which are not to be
applied to reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts actually paid or to be paid by
such Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft, shall be
returned to the Borrower (after deduction of the Administrative Agent’s expenses
incurred in connection with such cash collateral account). 

ARTICLE IV.          CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

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

(i)          subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any
tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the Borrower
(excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of any Lender or
applicable Lending Installation), or changes the basis of taxation of payments
to any Lender in respect of its Loans, its L/C Interests, the Letters of Credit
or other amounts due it hereunder, or

(ii)         imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any
applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into
account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans)
with respect to its Loans, L/C Interests or the Letters of Credit, or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender of
making, renewing or maintaining its Loans, L/C Interests or Letters of Credit or
to reduce any amount received under this Agreement, then, within 15 days after
receipt by the Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to
Section 4.5, the Borrower shall pay such Lender that portion of such increased
expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which such Lender determines
is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans, L/C Interests,
Letters of Credit and its Revolving Loan Commitment. 

          4.2.          Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations.  If a Lender
determines (i) the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a “Change” (as defined
below), and (ii) such increase in capital will result in an increase in the cost
to such Lender of maintaining its Loans, L/C Interests, the Letters of Credit or
its obligation to make Loans hereunder, then, within 15 days after receipt by
the Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 4.5, the
Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any
shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which
such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans, its L/C
Interests, the Letters of Credit or its obligation to make Loans hereunder
(after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). 
“Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the
“Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” (as defined below) excluding, for the avoidance
of doubt, the effect of any phasing in of such Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or
any other capital requirements passed prior to the date hereof, or (ii) any
adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement and having general
applicability to all banks and financial institutions within the jurisdiction in
which such Lender operates which affects the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any
corporation controlling any Lender.  “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means
(i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date
of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding
capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United
States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking
Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of
Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any
amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement. 

          4.3.          Availability of Types of Advances.  If (i) any Lender
determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Rate Loans at a suitable Lending
Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive,
whether or not having the force of law, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine
that (x) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar
Rate Advances are not available or (y) the interest rate applicable to a Type of
Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining such an
Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the
affected Type of Advance and, in the case of any occurrence set forth in clause
(i) require any Advances of the affected Type to be repaid. 

          4.4.          Funding Indemnification.  If any payment of a Eurodollar
Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable
Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment, conversion or
otherwise, or a Eurodollar Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the
Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower
indemnifies each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom,
including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing
deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Eurodollar Rate Advance.

          4.5.          Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  If reasonably
possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with
respect to its Eurodollar Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to
such Lender under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Type
of Advance under Section 4.3, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous
to such Lender.  Each Lender requiring compensation pursuant to Section 2.13(E)
or to this Article IV shall use its reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent in writing of any Change, law, policy, rule,
guideline or directive giving rise to such demand for compensation not later
than thirty (30) days following the date upon which the responsible account
officer of such Lender knows or should have known of such Change, law, policy,
rule, guideline or directive.  Any demand for compensation pursuant to this
Article IV shall be in writing and shall state the amount due, if any, under
Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 and shall set forth in reasonable detail the
calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount.  Such written demand
shall be rebuttably presumed correct for all purposes.  Determination of amounts
payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be
calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Rate Loan through the
purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used
as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan,
whether in fact that is the case or not.  The obligations of the Borrower under
Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement.

          5.1.          Initial Advances and Letters of Credit.  The Lenders

ARTICLE VI.          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

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

          6.1.          Organization; Corporate Powers.  The Borrower (i) is a
limited liability company (or, if converted to a corporation as permitted by
Section 7.2(A) hereof, a corporation) duly organized, validly existing and in
existence under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing under the
laws of each jurisdiction in which failure to be so qualified and in good
standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and
(iii) has all requisite power and authority to own, operate and encumber its
property and to conduct its business as presently conducted and as proposed to
be conducted.  GPE owns, directly or indirectly, over ninety-nine percent (99%)
of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Borrower.

          6.2.          Authority. 

          (A)          The Borrower has the requisite power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents.

          (B)          The execution, delivery and performance of each of the
Loan Documents which have been executed as required by this Agreement or
otherwise on or prior to the Closing Date and to which the Borrower is party,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly
approved by the board of directors and, if necessary, the members of the
Borrower, and such approvals have not been rescinded.  No other action or
proceedings on the part of the Borrower are necessary to consummate such
transactions.

          (C)          Each of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a
party has been duly executed, delivered or filed, as the case may be, by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally), is in full force and effect and no material term or condition
thereof has been amended, modified or waived from the terms and conditions
contained in the Loan Documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 5.1 without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, and
the Borrower have, and, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, all other
parties thereto have, performed and complied with all the terms, provisions,
agreements and conditions set forth therein and required to be performed or
complied with by such parties on or before the Closing Date, and no unmatured
default, default or breach of any covenant by any such party exists thereunder.

          6.3.          No Conflict; Governmental Consents.  The execution,
delivery and performance of each of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is
a party do not and will not (i) conflict with the articles of organization or
operating agreement of the Borrower, (ii) constitute a tortious interference
with any Contractual Obligation of any Person or conflict with, result in a
breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a
default under any Requirement of Law (including, without limitation, PUHCA, FPA
or any Environmental Property Transfer Act) or Contractual Obligation of the
Borrower, or require termination of any Contractual Obligation, except such
interference, breach, default or termination which individually or in the
aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
(iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever
upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower, other than Liens permitted
by the Loan Documents, or (iv) require any approval of the Borrower’s members
except such as have been obtained.  Except as set forth on Schedule 6.3 to this
Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan Documents
to which the Borrower is a party do not and will not require any registration
with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by any
Governmental Authority, including under any Environmental Property Transfer Act,
except filings, consents or notices which have been made, obtained or given, or
which, if not made, obtained or given, individually or in the aggregate could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          6.4.          Financial Statements.  Complete and accurate copies of
the following financial statements and the following related information have
been delivered to the Administrative Agent:  the balance sheet of the Borrower
as at December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and the related combined statements of
income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower for the
fiscal years then ended, and the audit reports related thereto.

          6.5.          No Material Adverse Change.  (A) Since December 31, 2003
up to the Closing Date, there has occurred no material adverse change in the
business, financial condition, operations or prospects of the Borrower taken as
a whole or any other event which has had or could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (B)          Since the Closing Date, there has occurred no event which
has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          6.6.          Taxes.

          (A)          Tax Examinations.  All deficiencies which have been
asserted against the Borrower as a result of any federal, state, local or
foreign tax examination for each taxable year in respect of which an examination
has been conducted have been fully paid or finally settled or are being
contested in good faith, and as of the Closing Date no issue has been raised by
any taxing authority in any such examination which, by application of similar
principles, reasonably can be expected to result in assertion by such taxing
authority of a material deficiency for any other year not so examined which has
not been reserved for in the Borrower’s consolidated financial statements to the
extent, if any, required by Agreement Accounting Principles.  Except as
permitted pursuant to Section 7.2(D), Borrower does not anticipate any material
tax liability with respect to the years which have not been closed pursuant to
applicable law.

          (B)          Payment of Taxes.  Except as described on Schedule 6.6,
all tax returns and reports of the Borrower required to be filed have been
timely filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges
thereupon and upon their respective property, assets, income and franchises
which are shown in such returns or reports to be due and payable have been paid
except those items which are being contested in good faith and have been
reserved for in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles.  The Borrower
has no knowledge of any proposed tax assessment against the Borrower that will
have or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          6.7.          Litigation; Loss Contingencies and Violations.  Except
as set forth in Schedule 6.7 to this Agreement, which lists all pending
litigation involving individual claims against the Borrower of more than
$1,000,000.00, there is no action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or (to the
Borrower’s knowledge) investigation before or by any Governmental Authority or
private arbitrator pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against
the Borrower or any property of any of them which will have or could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There is no material loss
contingency within the meaning of Agreement Accounting Principles which has not
been reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Borrower prepared
and delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(A) for the fiscal period during which such
material loss contingency was incurred.  The Borrower is not (A) in violation of
any applicable Requirements of Law which violation will have or could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) subject to or in default
with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, restraining order or order
of any nature, decree, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Authority
which will have or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          6.8.          Subsidiaries.  As of the date of this Agreement and as
of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries.

          6.9.          ERISA.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.9, no Benefit
Plan has incurred any accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in
Sections 302(a)(2) of ERISA and 412(a) of the Code) whether or not waived. 
Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has incurred any
liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of
premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due which are
unpaid.  To Borrower’s knowledge, Schedule B to the most recent annual report
filed with the IRS with respect to each Benefit Plan and furnished to the
Lenders is complete and accurate.  Neither the Borrower nor any member of the
Controlled Group is a participating employer in a Multiemployer Plan or
(ii) made a complete or partial withdrawal under Sections 4203 or 4205 of ERISA
from a Multiemployer Plan.  Neither the Borrower nor any member of the
Controlled Group has failed to make a required installment or any other required
payment under Section 412 of the Code on or before the due date for such
installment or other payment.  Neither the Borrower nor any member of the
Controlled Group is required to provide security to a Benefit Plan under
Section 401(a)(29) of the Code due to a Benefit Plan amendment that results in
an increase in current liability for the plan year.  The Borrower does not
maintain or contribute to any employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning
of Section 3(1) of ERISA which provides benefits to employees after termination
of employment other than as required by Section 601 of ERISA.  To Borrower’s
knowledge, each Plan which the Borrower maintains or contributes to and that is
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code as currently in effect
is so qualified, and each trust related to any such Plan is exempt from federal
income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code as currently in effect.  The
Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with the responsibilities,
obligations and duties imposed on it by ERISA and the Code with respect to all
Plans, except for such matters which could reasonably be expected to subject the
Borrower to liability of less than $1,000,000.00.  To Borrower’s knowledge,
neither the Borrower nor any fiduciary of any Plan has engaged in a nonexempt
prohibited transaction described in Sections 406 of ERISA or 4975 of the Code
which could reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower to liability in
excess of $1,000,000.00.  To Borrower’s knowledge, neither the Borrower nor any
member of the Controlled Group has taken or failed to take any action which
would constitute or result in a Termination Event, which action or inaction
could reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower to liability in excess of
$1,000,000.00.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is subject to any
liability under Sections 4062, 4063, 4064 or 4069 of ERISA and no other member
of the Controlled Group is subject to any liability under Sections 4062, 4063,
4064 or 4069 of ERISA which could reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower
to liability in excess of $1,000,000.00.  The Borrower does not have, by reason
of the transactions contemplated hereby, any obligation to make any payment to
any employee pursuant to any Plan or existing contract or arrangement.

          6.10.          Accuracy of Information.  The information, exhibits and
reports furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or
to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the
Loan Documents, the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in
the Loan Documents, and all certificates and documents delivered to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the terms thereof, taken as a
whole, do not contain as of the date furnished any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.

          6.11.          Securities Activities.  The Borrower is not engaged in
the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
Margin Stock.

          6.12.          Material Agreements.  The Borrower has not received
notice or has knowledge that (i) it is in default in the performance, observance
or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in
any Contractual Obligation applicable to it, or (ii) any condition exists which,
with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a
default with respect to any such Contractual Obligation, in each case, except
where such default or defaults, if any, individually or in the aggregate will
not have or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
Set forth on Schedule 6.12 to this Agreement is a list of all energy purchase
contracts and, if applicable, all related security, performance assurance,
disbursement, collateral assignment and option to acquire retail contracts and
other related agreements to which Borrower is a party and pursuant to which
Borrower has granted a Lien in certain assets not inconsistent with the
restriction on Liens contained in Section 7.3(C) of this Agreement to secure its
obligations thereunder, which Schedule 6.12 may be revised from time to time by
the Borrower submitting a revised Schedule to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders so long as any additions to such Schedule conform to the restrictions on
Liens contained in Section 7.3(C) of this Agreement (the “Energy Purchase
Contracts”).

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

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

          6.15.          Statutory Indebtedness Restrictions.  The Borrower is a
“subsidiary company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of PUHCA.  The
Borrower and GPE have all necessary authorization required for the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents under PUHCA, FPA or any other state or
federal laws or regulations similar or related thereto and the execution,
delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower or GPE is a
party do not and will not violate PUHCA or FPA or require any registration with,
consent or approval of, or notice to, or any other action to, with or by any
Governmental Authority under PUHCA, FPA or any other state or federal laws or
regulations similar or related thereto, other than (i) the filing of a notice by
Borrower under PUHCA with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the credit
facility evidenced by the Loan Documents within ten (10) days of the Closing
Date (the “Closing PUHCA Notice”), and (ii) the reporting of the GPE Guaranty
and the Subordination Agreement in one or more quarterly certificates pursuant
to Rule 24 of PUHCA (the “Quarterly PUHCA Notice”).  Except as specified in the
proceeding sentence, the Borrower is not subject to regulation under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other federal or state statute or
regulation which limits its ability to incur indebtedness or its ability to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

          6.16.          Insurance.  The Borrower maintains insurance policies

Subsidiary is a foreign Material Subsidiary, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent) to (i) execute and deliver a Security Agreement (and
deliver the other documents required thereby, including, without limitation,
restricted account agreements), if applicable, Intellectual Property Agreements
and such other Collateral Documents as the Administrative Agent or the Required

such policies or with respect to such claim or award for any loss with respect
to the Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Holders of the Obligations.  If no Default or
Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly after the
receipt of any Proceeds the Borrower shall repair or replace the Collateral or
other assets the loss or damage of which gave rise to such Proceeds; provided,
however, that upon the earlier to occur of (a) 120 days after the Borrower

default in the performance of or compliance with any of the financial covenants
contained in Section 7.4 (each a “Financial Covenant Breach”), and such default

after the determination of such Financial Covenant Breach.  In the event of a
Financial Covenant Breach and so long as (i) no other Default or Unmatured
Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) no GPE Cross Default has
occurred and is continuing, GPE may, within fifteen (15) days of the

Non-Qualifying GPE Guarantee Increase, or (c) through a combination of a GPE
Cash Infusion and a Qualifying GPE Guarantee Increase, in an amount equal to the
amount required to achieve compliance with the financial covenant which was the
subject of the Financial Covenant Breach, such amount to be determined as of the

For purposes of this Section 8.1(R), (i) if there exists more than one Financial
Covenant Breach as of the end of a fiscal quarter and the Borrower elects to
cure those violations by means of a GPE Cash Infusion and/or Qualifying GPE
Guarantee Increase, all such defaults may be cured by means of a single GPE Cash
Infusion and/or Qualifying GPE Guarantee Increase (i.e., a GPE Cash Infusion
and/or Qualifying GPE Guarantee Increase in that amount necessary to cure the
individual Financial Covenant Breach that is the greatest dollar amount out of
compliance); (ii) if there exists more than one Financial Covenant Breach as of
the end of a fiscal quarter, and the Borrower elects to cure those violations by
means of a Non-Qualifying GPE Guarantee Increase, the amount of such
Non-Qualifying GPE Guarantee Increase shall be the aggregate amount necessary to
cure all individual Financial Covenant Breaches (i.e., a Non-Qualifying GPE
Guarantee Increase in that amount equal to the sum of the amounts necessary to
cure all of the individual Financial Covenant Breaches); (iii) any increase in
EBITDA for the fiscal quarter in which a Financial Covenant Breach occurred or
Net Worth resulting from a GPE Cash Infusion shall be deemed to modify EBITDA
for such fiscal quarter and Net Worth for purposes of calculating compliance
with all financial covenants in fiscal quarters following the fiscal quarter in
which such Financial Covenant Breach has occurred, but only so long as the full
amount of such GPE Cash Infusion is maintained and is not reduced by means of a
Distribution; (iv) any increase in EBITDA for the fiscal quarter in which the
Financial Covenant Breach occurred or Net Worth resulting from a Qualifying GPE
Guarantee Increase shall be deemed to modify EBITDA for such fiscal quarter and
Net Worth for purposes of calculating compliance with all financial covenants in
fiscal quarters following the fiscal quarter in which such Financial Covenant
Breach has occurred, but only so long as (a) the full amount of the Qualifying
GPE Guarantee Increase made with respect to the fiscal quarter in which the
Financial Covenant Breach occurred remains in effect and is not reduced, and
(b) such GPE Guarantee Increase continues to be a Qualifying GPE Guarantee
Increase; and (v) any increase in EBITDA for the fiscal quarter in which the
Financial Covenant Breach occurred or Net Worth resulting from a Non-Qualifying
GPE Guarantee Increase shall be deemed to modify EBITDA for such quarter or Net
Worth, as applicable, for purposes of calculating compliance in fiscal quarters
following the fiscal quarter in which such Financial Covenant Breach has
occurred of only the individual financial covenant with respect to which the
Non-Qualifying GPE Guarantee Increase was applied in the fiscal quarter in which
such Financial Covenant Breach occurred and only in the amount of the
Non-Qualifying GPE Guarantee Increase applicable to such individual financial
covenant, but only so long as the full amount of the Non-Qualifying GPE
Guarantee Increase made with respect to the fiscal quarter in which the
Financial Covenant Breach occurred remains in effect and is not reduced.  So
long as no Default or Unmatured Default under this Agreement exists or will
result therefrom, a GPE Guarantee Increase may be reduced as of the end of any
future fiscal quarter by means of the execution by GPE, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of a Guaranty Amount Amendment Agreement pursuant to the
procedure provided in the GPE Guaranty.  The Administrative Agent hereby agrees
to execute any such Guaranty Amount Amendment Agreement if no Default or
Unmatured Default exists or would result therefrom under this Agreement and all
other conditions to effectiveness set forth in the Guaranty Amount Amendment
Agreement will be satisfied.

          A Default shall be deemed “continuing” until cured or until waived in
writing in accordance with Section 9.3.

ARTICLE IX.          ACCELERATION, DEFAULTING LENDERS; WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND
REMEDIES

          9.1.          Termination of Commitments; Acceleration.  If any
Default described in Section 8.1(F), 8.1(G), or 8.1(I) occurs with respect to
the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the
obligation of the Administrative Agent to issue Letters of Credit hereunder
shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due
and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender.  If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders may
terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and
the obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, or
declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower expressly
waives.

          9.2.          Defaulting Lender.  In the event that any Lender fails
to fund its applicable Pro Rata Share of any Advance requested or deemed
requested by the Borrower (or requested by an Issuing Bank in connection with
the participation in Letters of Credit), which such Lender is obligated to fund
under the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of such Advance being
hereinafter referred to as a “Non Pro Rata Loan”), until the earlier of such
Lender’s cure of such failure and the termination of the Revolving Loan
Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower and otherwise required to be applied to such Lender’s
share of all other Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be
advanced to the Borrower (or Issuing Bank) by the Administrative Agent on behalf
of such Lender to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but
shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Lender in satisfaction of
such other Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary:

(i)          the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2 shall apply only with
respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations and shall not affect the
conversion or continuation of Loans pursuant to Section 2.10;

(ii)         any such Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund
its applicable Pro Rata Share of any Advance at such time as an amount equal to
such Lender’s original applicable Pro Rata Share of the requested principal
portion of such Advance is fully funded to the Borrower (or Issuing Bank),
whether made by such Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this
Section 9.2, and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has
been repaid, converted or continued;

(iii)        amounts advanced to the Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any
such Lender’s failure to fund its applicable Pro Rata Share of any Advance
(“Cure Loans”) shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Floating Rate Loans
in effect from time to time, and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall
be treated as if they were Floating Rate Loans;

(iv)         regardless of whether or not a Default has occurred or is
continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions of the Borrower as to its
desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance with the
other terms of this Agreement, would be applied to the outstanding Floating Rate
Loans shall be applied first, ratably to all Floating Rate Loans constituting
Non Pro Rata Loans, second, ratably to Floating Rate Loans other than those
constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and, third, ratably to Floating
Rate Loans constituting Cure Loans;

(v)          for so long as and until the earlier of any such Lender’s cure of
the failure to fund its applicable Pro Rata Share of any Advance and the
termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the term “Required Lenders” for
purposes of this Agreement shall mean Lenders (excluding all Lenders whose
failure to fund their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Advance have not been
so cured) whose applicable Pro Rata Shares represent greater than sixty-six and
two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the aggregate Pro Rata Shares of such Lenders;
and

(vi)         for so long as and until any such Lender’s failure to fund its
Revolving Loan Pro Rata Share of any Advance is cured in accordance with
Section 9.2(ii), (A) such Lender shall not be entitled to any commitment fees
with respect to its Revolving Loan Commitment, and (B) such Lender shall not be
entitled to any letter of credit fees, which commitment fees and letter of
credit fees shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their
respective applicable Pro Rata Share of such requested Advance, shall be
allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative
Revolving Loan Commitments, and shall be calculated based upon the average
amount by which the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments of such performing
Lenders exceeds the sum of (I) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
owing to such performing Lenders, plus (II) the outstanding Reimbursement
Obligations owing to such performing Lenders, plus (III) the aggregate
participation interests of such performing Lenders arising with respect to
undrawn and outstanding Letters of Credit.

          9.3.         Amendments.  Subject to the provisions of this
Article IX, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent
in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the
Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the
Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no
such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender affected
thereby:

(i)          Postpone or extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date or any other
date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans, the
Reimbursement Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender
(except with respect to (a) any modifications of the provisions relating to
prepayments of Loans and other Obligations and (b) a waiver of the application
of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof.

(ii)         Reduce the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon.

(iii)        Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required
Lenders or any other percentage of Lenders specified to be the applicable
percentage in this Agreement to act on specified matters.

(iv)         Increase the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender
hereunder.

(v)          Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.

(vi)         Release any Guarantor or any Collateral having a value in excess of
$5,000,000.00 during the term of this Agreement.

(vii)        Amend this Section 9.3 or Section 12.2.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative
Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative
Agent.  The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under
Section 13.3(B) without obtaining the consent of any of the Lenders.

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

ARTICLE X.          GENERAL PROVISIONS

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

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

          10.3.          Performance of Obligations.  The Borrower agrees that
the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation, after the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Default, make any payment or perform any act
required of the Borrower under any Loan Document.  The Administrative Agent
shall use its reasonable efforts to give the Borrower notice of any action taken
under this Section 10.3 prior to the taking of such action or promptly
thereafter provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
Borrower’s obligations in respect thereof.  The Borrower agrees to pay the
Administrative Agent, upon demand, the principal amount of all funds advanced by
the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.3, together with interest thereon
at the rate from time to time applicable to Revolving Loans that are Floating
Rate Loans from the date of such advance until the outstanding principal balance
thereof is paid in full.  If the Borrower fails to make payment in respect of
any such advance under this Section 10.3 within one (1) Business Day after the
date the Borrower receives written demand therefor from the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and each
Lender agrees that it shall thereupon make available to the Administrative
Agent, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such advance.  If such funds are not made available
to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within one (1) Business Day after the
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will be
entitled to recover any such amount from such Lender together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period
commencing on the date of such demand and ending on the date such amount is
received.  The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative
Agent its Pro Rata Share of any such unreimbursed advance under this
Section 10.3 shall neither relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder
to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share
of such advance on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the
obligation of any other Lender to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent.  All outstanding principal of, and interest on, advances made under this
Section 10.3 shall constitute Obligations.

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

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

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

          10.7.          Expenses; Indemnification.

          (A)          Expenses.  The Borrower shall reimburse the Agents and
the Arrangers for any reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including
attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and time charges of attorneys and paralegals for
the Administrative Agent) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the
Arrangers in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery,
syndication, review, amendment, modification, and administration of the Loan
Documents and the initial audit of the Collateral.  The Borrower also agrees to
reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and the Lenders for any
costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and
time charges of attorneys and paralegals for the Administrative Agent and the
Arrangers and the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the
Arrangers or any Lender in connection with the collection of the Obligations and
enforcement of the Loan Documents.  In addition to expenses set forth above, the
Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, promptly after the
Administrative Agent’s request therefor, for each audit, or other business
analysis performed by or for the benefit of the Lenders in connection with this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral in an amount equal to the
Administrative Agent’s then customary charges for each person employed to
perform such audit or analysis plus all costs and expenses (including without
limitation, travel expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent in the
performance of such audit or analysis.

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

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

(ii)         any liabilities, obligations, responsibilities, losses, damages,
personal injury, death, punitive damages, economic damages, consequential
damages, treble damages, intentional, willful or wanton injury, damage or threat
to the environment, natural resources or public health or welfare, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorney, expert and consulting fees
and costs of investigation, feasibility or remedial action studies), fines,
penalties and monetary sanctions, interest, direct or indirect, known or
unknown, absolute or contingent, past, present or future relating to violation
of any Environmental, Health or Safety Requirements of Law arising from or in
connection with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or its
predecessors in interest, or, the past, present or future environmental, health
or safety condition of any respective property of the Borrower, the presence of
asbestos‑containing materials at any respective property of the Borrower or the
Release or threatened Release of any Contaminant into the environment
(collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”);

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

          (C)          Waiver of Certain Claims; Settlement of Claims.  The
Borrower further agrees not to assert claims against any of the Indemnitees on
any theory of liability for consequential, special, indirect, exemplary or
punitive damages against any or all of such Indemnities.  No settlement shall be
entered into by the Borrower with respect to any claim, litigation, arbitration
or other proceeding relating to or arising out of the transactions evidenced by
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (whether or not the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or any Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such settlement
releases all Indemnitees from any and all liability  with respect thereto.

          (D)          Survival of Agreements.  The obligations and agreements
of the Borrower under this Section 10.7 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

          10.8.          Numbers of Documents.  All statements, notices, closing
documents, and requests hereunder shall be furnished directly by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

          10.9.          Accounting.  Except as provided to the contrary herein,
all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting
determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting
Principles.  If any changes in generally accepted accounting principles are
hereafter required or permitted and are adopted by the Borrower with the
agreement of its independent public accountants and such changes result in a
change in the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants,
restrictions or standards herein or in the related definitions or terms used
therein (“Accounting Changes”), the parties hereto agree to enter into
negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such provisions in a credit
neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such Accounting Changes with the
desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial
condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been
made; provided, however, until such provisions are amended in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, no
Accounting Change shall be given effect in such calculations and all financial
statements and reports required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared in
accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles without taking into account such
Accounting Changes.  In the event such amendment is entered into with respect to
any Accounting Changes, all references to this Agreement to Agreement Accounting
Principles shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of
such amendment.

          10.10.          Severability of Provisions.  Any provision in any Loan
Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any
jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or
invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the
operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other
jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared
to be severable.

          10.11.          Nonliability of Lenders.  The relationship between the
Borrower and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be solely that of
borrower and lender.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have
any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower.  Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or
inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s
business or operations.  The Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have the
obligations set forth in Section 13.4 with respect to confidential information
of the Borrower.

          10.12.          GOVERNING LAW.  ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND
THE AGENTS OR THE ARRANGERS OR ANY LENDER ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH,
RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN
CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND WHETHER
ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF
THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAW APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL
BANKS, TO THE EXTENT SUCH FEDERAL LAW IS OTHERWISE APPLICABLE.

          10.13.          CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS; JURY
TRIAL.

          (A)          JURISDICTION.  EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (B), EACH
OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT ALL DISPUTES AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF,
CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG
THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS

HERETO WAIVES IN ALL DISPUTES BROUGHT PURSUANT TO THIS SUBSECTION (A) ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT CONSIDERING THE DISPUTE.

          (B)          OTHER JURISDICTIONS.  THE BORROWER AGREES THAT THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OR ANY LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST THE
BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN A COURT IN ANY LOCATION TO ENABLE SUCH PERSON TO
(1) OBTAIN PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER OR (2) REALIZE ON ANY
SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER
ENTERED IN FAVOR OF SUCH PERSON.  THE BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT
ANY PERMISSIVE COUNTERCLAIMS IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY SUCH PERSON TO REALIZE
ON ANY SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT
ORDER IN FAVOR OF SUCH PERSON.  THE BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY
HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT IN WHICH SUCH PERSON HAS COMMENCED A
PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN THIS SUBSECTION (B).

          (C)          VENUE.  THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION OF THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON
THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS) WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION
HEREWITH IN ANY JURISDICTION SET FORTH ABOVE.

          10.14.          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY

AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.  EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO
MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS
WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

          10.15.          WAIVER OF BOND.  EACH OF THE BORROWER WAIVES THE
POSTING OF ANY BOND OTHERWISE REQUIRED OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY JUDICIAL PROCESS OR PROCEEDING TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER
SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OR TO ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER
ENTERED IN FAVOR OF SUCH PARTY, OR TO ENFORCE BY SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, TEMPORARY
RESTRAINING ORDER, PRELIMINARY OR PERMANENT INJUNCTION, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

          10.16.          ADVICE OF COUNSEL.  EACH OF THE PARTIES REPRESENTS TO
EACH OTHER PARTY HERETO THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS AGREEMENT AND, SPECIFICALLY,
THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 10.13, WITH ITS COUNSEL.

          10.17.          No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the
event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

          10.18.          Customer Identification - USA Patriot Act Notice. Each
Lender and LaSalle Bank (for itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby
notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act,
Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender or LaSalle Bank, as applicable, to
identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

ARTICLE XI.          THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          11.1.          Appointment and Authorization.  Each Lender hereby
irrevocably (subject to Section 11.10) appoints, designates and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and
perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those
expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed
to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in
other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended
to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a
matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

          11.2.          Issuing Bank.  Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of
the Lenders (according to their Pro Rata Shares) with respect to any Letters of
Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith.  Each Issuing Bank
shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to the Administrative
Agent in this Article XI with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by
such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed
to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit
pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent”, as used in this Article XI, included the Issuing Bank with respect to
such acts or omissions and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with
respect to the Issuing Bank.

          11.3.          Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may
execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or
through agents, employees or attorneys‑in‑fact and shall be entitled to advice
of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to
such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney‑in‑fact that it selects in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          11.4.          Exculpation of Administrative Agent.  None of the
Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly
set forth herein as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or
participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the
Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation,
perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any
failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its
Obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or
Affiliates.

          11.5.          Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice,
consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram,
facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and
other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice
or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so
requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify the
Administrative Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in
accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon
each Lender.  For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Article V, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by
or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date
specifying its objection thereto.

          11.6.          Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not
be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Unmatured Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal,
interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement,
describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default”.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its
receipt of any such notice.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action
with respect to such Default or Unmatured Default as may be requested by the
Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless and until
the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Unmatured Default as it shall deem
advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

          11.7.          Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that the
Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that
no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and
acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent
to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has
disclosed material information in its possession.  Each Lender represents to the
Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower, and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder.  Each Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary
to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower.  Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the
Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the
possession of the Administrative Agent.

          11.8.          Indemnification.  Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand the
Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the
extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata
Share, from and against any and all Indemnified Matters (as hereinafter
defined); provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such
Person of any portion of the Indemnified Matters to the extent determined by a
final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required
Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for
purposes of this Section.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender
shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of
any costs or out‑of‑pocket expenses (including attorney costs and Taxes)
incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal
advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the
extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or
on behalf of the Borrower.  The undertaking in this Section shall survive
repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of
the Letters of Credit, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or
discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

          11.9.          Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity.  LaSalle
Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the
account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other
business with the Borrower and its Affiliates as though LaSalle Bank were not
the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any
Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, LaSalle
Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its
Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to
them.  With respect to their Loans (if any),  LaSalle Bank and its Affiliates
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though LaSalle Bank were not the Administrative
Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include LaSalle Bank and its
Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

          11.10.          Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. 
If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders
shall, with (so long as no Default exists) the consent of the Borrower (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a
successor agent for the Lenders.  If no successor agent is appointed prior to
the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the
Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders.  Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to
all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the
term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent
shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 11 and
Sections 10.7 and 10.18 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this
Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative
Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s
notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the
duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

          11.11.          Collateral Matters.  The Lenders irrevocably authorize
the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any
Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Collateral
Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all
Loans and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and the expiration or
termination of all Letters of Credit; (ii) constituting property sold or to be
sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted
hereunder; or (iii) subject to Section 9.4, if approved, authorized or ratified
in writing by the Required Lenders.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at
any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items
of collateral pursuant to this Section 11.11.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to give blockage notices in connection with any
Subordinated Debt at the direction of Required Lenders and agrees that it will
not act unilaterally to deliver such notices.

          11.12.          Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Article X, Sections 10.7 and 10.18) allowed in such
judicial proceedings; and

          to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Article X, Sections 10.7 and 10.18.

          Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the
Administrative Agent  to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding.

          11.13.          Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers.  None of the
Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of
this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,”
“book manager,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger”, if
any, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty
under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable
to all Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or
other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied,
and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in
deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action
hereunder.

ARTICLE XII.          SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

          12.1.          Setoff.  In addition to, and without limitation of, any
rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is
continuing, any indebtedness from any Lender to the Borrower (including all
account balances (other than (a) those funds contained in the Custody Agreement
dated as of March 26, 2003 between the Borrower and LaSalle Bank to the extent
such funds do not constitute property of the Borrower, and (b) any Segregated
Accounts deposited with a Lender, now existing or later created), whether
provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) may be offset
and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether
or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(E)          fifth, to pay interest due in respect of Loans and L/C Obligations;

(F)          sixth, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal
outstanding on Loans and Reimbursement Obligations in such order as the
Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion;

(G)          seventh, to provide required cash collateral, if required pursuant
to Section 3.11 and

(H)          eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.

Unless otherwise designated (which designation shall only be applicable prior to
the occurrence of a Default) by the Borrower, all principal payments in respect
of Loans shall be applied first, to repay outstanding Floating Rate Loans, and
then to repay outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans with those Eurodollar Rate Loans
which have earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid or prepaid prior to
those which have later expiring Interest Periods.  The order of priority set
forth in this Section 12.3 and the related provisions of this Agreement are set
forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the issuer(s) of Letters of Credit as among themselves.  The
order of priority set forth in clauses (D) through (J) of this Section 12.3 may
at any time and from time to time be changed by the Required Lenders without
necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, or any other
Person.  The order of priority set forth in clauses (A) through (C) of this
Section 12.3 may be changed only with the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.

          12.4.          Relations Among Lenders.

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

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

ARTICLE XIII.          BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

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

          13.2.          Participations.

          (A)          Permitted Participants; Effect.  Subject to the terms set
forth in this Section 13.2, any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more
banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan
owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Revolving Loan
Commitment of such Lender, any L/C Interest of such Lender or any other interest
of such Lender under the Loan Documents on a pro rata or non-pro rata basis. 
Notice of such participation to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
be required prior to any participation becoming effective with respect to a
Participant which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof.  In the event of any
such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s
obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all
purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under
this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents except that, for
purposes of Article IV hereof, the Participants shall be entitled to the same
rights as if they were Lenders.  The Lender selling a participating interest on
its Loan, and the Participant(s) therein, shall bear their own fees and expenses
incurred in connection with any such participation, and the Borrower shall have
no obligation for any such fees or expenses.

          (B)          Voting Rights.  Each Lender shall retain the sole right
to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification
or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment,
modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Revolving Loan Commitment in
which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or
fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement with respect to any such Loan or Revolving Loan Commitment, postpones
any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest
or fees on, any such Loan or Revolving Loan Commitment, or releases a
significant portion of the Collateral, if any, securing any such Loan.

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

          13.3.          Assignments.

          (A)          Permitted Assignments.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary
course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign
to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its
Revolving Loan Commitment, all Loans owing to it, all of its participation
interests in existing Letters of Credit, and its obligation to participate in
additional Letters of Credit hereunder) in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 13.3.  Each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying,
ratable percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement.  Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E
hereto and shall not be permitted hereunder unless such assignment is either for
all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents or, without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, involves loans and
commitments in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000 (which minimum amount
may be waived by the Required Lenders after the occurrence of a Default or
Unmatured Default).  The consent of the Administrative Agent and, prior to the
occurrence of a Default or Unmatured Default, the Borrower (which consent, in
each such case, shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be required prior to
an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a
Lender or an Affiliate thereof.  The Lender assigning an interest in its Loan,
and the Purchase(s) thereof, shall bear their own fees and expenses incurred in
connection with any such transaction, and the Borrower shall have no obligation
for any such fees or expenses.

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

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

          13.4.          Confidentiality.  Subject to Section 13.5, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall hold all nonpublic information
obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement and identified as such
by the Borrower in accordance with such Person’s customary procedures for
handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and
sound banking practices and in any event may make disclosure reasonably required
by a prospective Transferee in connection with the contemplated participation or
assignment or as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or
representative thereof or pursuant to legal process and shall require any such
Transferee to agree (and require any of its Transferees to agree) to comply with
this Section 13.4.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be
obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower;
provided, however, each prospective Transferee shall be required to agree that
if it does not become a participant or assignee it shall return all materials
furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with this
Agreement.

          13.5.          Dissemination of Information.  The Borrower authorizes
each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person
acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a
“Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such
Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower; provided that prior to any such
disclosure, such prospective Transferee shall agree to preserve in accordance
with Section 13.4 the confidentiality of any confidential information described
therein.

ARTICLE XIV.          NOTICES

          14.1.          Giving Notice.  Except as otherwise permitted by
Section 2.14 with respect to borrowing notices, all notices and other
communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or
delivered to such party at its address set forth below its signature hereto or
at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the
other parties.  Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage
prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by
telex or facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted (answerback confirmed
in the case of telexes).

          14.2.          Change of Address.  The Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it
by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.

ARTICLE XV.          COUNTERPARTS

          This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of
which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties
hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.  This
Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the
Administrative Agent by telex or telephone, that it has taken such action.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent have executed this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of the date
first above written.
