assigns, (iii) the words "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder", and words of
similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety
and not to any particular provision hereof, (iv) all references herein to
Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to
Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement and (v)
the words "asset" and "property" shall be construed to have the same meaning and

         SECTION 1.03. ACCOUNTING TERMS. All accounting terms not specifically
defined herein shall be construed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistent with those applied in the preparation of the
financial statements referred to in Section 6.01(e) ("GAAP"), it being
understood that such financial statements do not reflect the Restatement. If any
changes in generally accepted accounting principles are hereafter required or
permitted and are adopted by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall change its application of generally
accepted accounting principles with respect to any Off-Balance Sheet
Liabilities, in each case, with the agreement of its independent certified
public accountants, and such changes result in a change in the method of
calculation of any of the financial covenants, tests, restrictions or standards
herein or in the related definitions or terms used therein ("ACCOUNTING
CHANGES"), the parties hereto agree, at the Borrower's request, to enter into
negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such provisions in a credit
neutral manner so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result
that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower's and its Subsidiaries' 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 Agents, the Arranger and the Required

                                       22

<PAGE>

Lenders, no Accounting Change shall be given effect in such calculations. In the
event such amendment is entered into, all references in this Agreement to GAAP
shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of such
amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial statements to be
delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.03 shall be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect at such time.

             COMMITMENTS, LOANS, FEES, PREPAYMENTS AND OUTSTANDINGS

         SECTION 2.01. RE-EVIDENCING OF "LOANS" UNDER THE INITIAL AMENDMENT AND
RESTATEMENT.

                  (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, on the Initial Funding Date, outstanding loans under the Initial
Amendment and Restatement (other than the Initial Amendment and Restatement
Revolving Loans) in an amount equal to each Lender's Facility A Commitment
(exclusive of each Lender's Facility A Revolving Commitment) shall be
re-evidenced hereunder as term loans, in Dollars, to the Borrower from such
Lender in an amount equal to such Lender's Facility A Commitment (exclusive of
each Lender's Facility A Revolving Commitment) (each individually, a "Facility A
Loan" and, collectively, the "Facility A Loans").

                  (b)      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, on the Initial Funding Date, outstanding loans under the Initial
Amendment and Restatement (other than the Initial Amendment and Restatement
Revolving Loans) in an amount equal to each Lender's Facility B Commitment shall
be re-evidenced hereunder as term loans, in Dollars, to the Borrower from such
Lender in an amount equal to such Lender's Facility B Commitment (each
individually, a "Facility B Loan" and, collectively, the "Facility B Loans").

                  (c)      Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth to make Facility A Revolving Loans to the
Borrower during the period from the Initial Funding Date until the Commitment
Termination Date in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed on any day
such Lender's Available Facility A Revolving Commitment (after giving effect to
all Extensions of Credit to be made on such day and the application of the
proceeds thereof). Within the limits hereinafter set forth, the Borrower may
request Extensions of Credit hereunder, prepay Facility A Revolving Loans, and
use the resulting increase in the Available Facility A Revolving Commitments for
further Extensions of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof.

                  (d)      (x) At the Borrower's option prior to the date all or
a portion of the secondary syndication of the Commitments shall be effective,
upon written notice (a "Notice to Convert") to the Administrative Agent (who
shall promptly notify each of the Lenders), or (y) automatically, if not
converted prior to such date, on the later of (A) the 21st day after the Initial
Funding Date and (B) the date all or a portion of the secondary syndication of
the Commitments shall be effective (such date of conversion under clauses (x) or
(y) being the "Conversion Date"), the then outstanding aggregate principal
amount of the Loans hereunder shall be converted to a term loan. Any Notice to
Convert shall expressly state the applicable Conversion Date and shall be
irrevocable once given. The Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted

                                       23

<PAGE>

that the conditions contained in Section 5.03 have been satisfied as of the date
of any Notice to Convert. Upon delivery of such Notice to Convert (or if no such
Notice to Convert is given, upon the automatic Conversion Date described above),
(i) the Borrower's option to borrow and reborrow Facility A Revolving Loans
shall terminate, (ii) the aggregate of the Lenders' Facility A Revolving
Commitments shall be reduced to zero, and (iii) the outstanding principal
balance of all Facility A Revolving Loans hereunder shall be due and payable on
the Facility A Termination Date. All references in this Agreement to Facility A
Loans shall include such Facility A Revolving Loans as converted hereunder.

         SECTION 2.02.  FEES.

                  (a)      The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee equal to the product of
(i) the average daily amount of such Lender's Available Facility A Revolving
Commitment from the Initial Funding Date, in the case of each Bank, and from the
effective date specified in the Lender Assignment pursuant to which it became a
Lender, in the case of each other Lender, until the Commitment Termination Date
multiplied by (ii) the Commitment Fee Margin in effect as of the date upon which
such fee is payable. Such fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
day of each March, June, September and December, commencing the first such date
to occur following the Initial Funding Date, and on the Commitment Termination
Date.

                  (b)      In addition to the fees provided for in subsection
(a) above, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of CUSA and the other Persons entitled thereto, such other fees as are provided
for in that certain letter agreement, dated March 30, 2003 among the Borrower,
the Agents, the Arranger (the "FEE LETTER"), in the amounts and at the times
specified therein.

         SECTION 2.03.  MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

                  (a)      The Borrower may (and shall provide notice thereof to
the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
date of termination or reduction, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
distribute copies thereof to the Lenders) terminate in whole or reduce ratably
in part the unused portions of the Facility A Revolving Commitments; provided
that any such partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

                  (b)      Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control the
Commitments shall be reduced to zero and the principal amount outstanding
hereunder, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall become and be forthwith due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

                  (c)      From and after the date that all of the obligations
under the Enterprises 2003 Credit Agreement shall have been paid in full in cash
and the Enterprises 2003 Credit Agreement shall have been terminated, the
Borrower shall make the following mandatory prepayments:

                                       24

<PAGE>

                  (i)      Promptly and in any event within 3 Business Days
         after the Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' receipt of any Net
         Proceeds from the sale or issuance of equity securities, the Borrower
         shall make or cause to be made a mandatory prepayment of the
         Obligations in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such
         Net Proceeds;

                  (ii)     Promptly and in any event within 3 Business Days
         after the Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' receipt of any Net
         Proceeds from the incurrence of Debt For Borrowed Money, other than
         Debt incurred by Consumers or any Subsidiary of Consumers, the Borrower
         shall make or cause to be made a mandatory prepayment of the
         Obligations in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such
         Net Proceeds; and

                  (iii)    Promptly and in any event within 3 Business Days
         after the Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' receipt of any Net
         Proceeds from the sale, assignment or other disposition of (but not the
         lease or license of) any property, including, without limitation, any
         sale of capital stock or other equity interest in any of the Borrower's
         direct or indirect Subsidiaries, in an amount, when combined with the
         Net Proceeds of all other such transactions since the Closing Date that
         have not been applied to the prepayment of the Obligations in
         accordance with this clause (iii), in excess of $10,000,000, the
         Borrower shall make or cause to be made a mandatory prepayment of the
         Obligations in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such
         aggregate Net Proceeds, provided that such amount shall exclude Net
         Proceeds arising from (A) any sale, assignment or other disposition of
         property by Consumers or any Subsidiary of Consumers (other than the
         capital stock of Consumers), (B) the sale of all or substantially all
         of the electrical power book of MS&T and (C) any sale or other
         disposition by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary
         course of business consistent with past practice, provided, further
         that any Designated Prepayment under this clause (iii) shall be made
         without regard to whether the obligations under the Enterprises 2003
         Credit Agreement shall have been paid in full in cash and terminated if
         an "Event of Default" under (and as defined in) the AIG Pledge
         Agreement arising from the non-compliance with the terms of Section 4.5
         of the AIG Pledge Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or would
         result from the transaction giving rise to such Designated Prepayment.

Nothing in this Section 2.03(c) shall be construed to constitute the Lenders'
consent to any transaction referenced in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above which
is not expressly permitted by Article VII. The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent prior written notice or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing (each of which the Administrative Agent shall promptly
transmit to each Lender), when a Designated Prepayment will be made (which date
of prepayment shall be no later than the date on which such Designated
Prepayment becomes due and payable pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)). Designated
Prepayments shall be allocated and applied first to the outstanding Facility A
Loans (and amounts applied thereunder being deemed to be applied first to
Facility A Revolving Loans (and shall permanently reduce on a ratable basis the
Facility A Revolving Commitments) or any Facility A Loans following the
Conversion Date that re-evidence such Facility A Revolving Loans, and thereafter
all other Facility A Loans) and then to the outstanding Facility B Loans. So
long as any Facility B Loans shall be outstanding, any Lender with a Facility A
Loan may, after the repayment of the Facility A Revolving Loans and termination
of the Facility A Revolving Commitments, or any Facility A Loans following the
Conversion Date that re-evidence such Facility A Revolving Loans, decline any
Designated

                                       25

<PAGE>

Prepayment, in which case the amount declined will be applied pro rata and
ratably to prepayment of the Facility B Loans. Any Lender with a Facility B Loan
may decline any Designated Prepayment, in which case the amount declined shall
be paid as the Borrower so designates. All Designated Prepayments shall be
applied first to repay outstanding ABR Loans and then to repay outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loans with those Eurodollar Rate Loans which have earlier
expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring
Interest Periods.

         SECTION 2.04. COMPUTATIONS OF OUTSTANDINGS. Whenever reference is made
in this Agreement to the principal amount outstanding on any date under this
Agreement, such reference shall refer to the aggregate principal amount of all
Loans outstanding on such date under this Agreement after giving effect to all
Extensions of Credit to be made on such date and the application of the proceeds
thereof. At no time shall the outstanding principal amount of the Facility A
Revolving Loans exceed the aggregate amount of the Facility A Revolving
Commitment hereunder. References to the unused portion of the Facility A
Revolving Commitments shall refer to the excess, if any, of the Facility A
Revolving Commitments hereunder over the outstanding principal amount of the
Facility A Revolving Loans; and references to the unused portion of any Lender's
Facility A Revolving Commitment shall refer to such Lender's Percentage of the
unused Facility A Revolving Commitments.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                      LOANS

                  (a)      LOANS. The Borrower may request a Borrowing (other
than a Conversion) by delivering a notice (a "NOTICE OF BORROWING") to the
Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third
Business Day or, in the case of ABR Loans, on the first Business Day, prior to
the date of the proposed Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall give each
Lender prompt notice of each Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall
be in substantially the form of Exhibit A and shall specify the requested (i)
date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Loans to be made in connection with such
Borrowing, (iii) Interest Period, if any, for such Facility A Revolving Loans
and (iv) amount of such Borrowing. Each proposed Borrowing shall conform to the
requirements of Sections 3.03 and 3.04.

                  (b)      Each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon (New York City
time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its
Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent's offices at 2 Penns Way, Suite 200, New Castle, DE 19270, in same day
funds, such Lender's Percentage of such Borrowing. After the Administrative
Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions
set forth in Article V, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available
to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent's aforesaid address. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Percentage of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
Percentage available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing
in accordance with the first sentence of this subsection (b), and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.

                                       26
<PAGE>

                  (c)      Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be
evidenced by a Promissory Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a Promissory Note payable to the order of
such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the
Loans evidenced by such Promissory Note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.07) be represented by one or
more Promissory Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named
therein (or, if such Promissory Note is a registered note, to such payee and its
registered assigns).

         SECTION 3.02. CONVERSION OF LOANS. The Borrower may from time to time
Convert any Loan (or portion thereof) of any Type to one or more Loans of the
same or any other Type by delivering a notice of such Conversion (a "NOTICE OF
CONVERSION") to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New York City
time) on (x) the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion
into a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (y) the first Business Day prior to the date of
any proposed Conversion into an ABR Loan. The Administrative Agent shall give
each Lender prompt notice of each Notice of Conversion. Each Notice of
Conversion shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B and shall specify (i)
the requested date of such Conversion, (ii) the Type of, and Interest Period, if
any, applicable to, the Loans (or portions thereof) proposed to be Converted,
(iii) the requested Type of Loans to which such Loans (or portions thereof) are
proposed to be Converted, (iv) the requested initial Interest Period, if any, to
be applicable to the Loans resulting from such Conversion and (v) the aggregate
amount of Loans (or portions thereof) proposed to be Converted. Each proposed
Conversion shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.03 and 3.04.

         SECTION 3.03. INTEREST PERIODS. The period between the date of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan and the date of payment in full of such Loan shall be
divided into successive periods of months ("INTEREST PERIODS") for purposes of
computing interest applicable thereto. The initial Interest Period for each such
Loan shall begin on the day such Loan is made, and each subsequent Interest
Period shall begin on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period
for such Loan. The duration of each Interest Period shall be 1, 2, 3, or 6
months, as the Borrower may, in accordance with Section 3.01 or 3.02, select;
provided, however, that:

                  (i)      the Borrower may not select any Interest Period for a
         Eurodollar Rate Loan that is (a) a Facility A Loan that ends after the
         Facility A Maturity Date or (b) a Facility B Loan that ends after the
         Facility B Maturity Date;

                  (ii)     whenever the last day of any Interest Period would
         otherwise occur on a day other than a Business Day, the last day of
         such Interest Period shall occur on the next succeeding Business Day,
         provided that if such extension would cause the last day of such
         Interest Period to occur in the next following calendar month, the last
         day of such Interest Period shall occur on the next preceding Business
         Day; and

                  (iii)    any Interest Period that commences on the last
         Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no
         numerically corresponding day in the last calendar month of such
         Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the last
         calendar month of such Interest Period.

                                       27
<PAGE>

         SECTION 3.04. OTHER TERMS RELATING TO THE MAKING AND CONVERSION OF
LOANS.

                  (a)      Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.01 or 3.02 to
the contrary:

                  (i)      each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not
         less than $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
         thereof (or such lesser amount as shall be equal to the total amount of
         the Available Facility A Commitments on such date, after giving effect
         to all other Extensions of Credit to be made on such date), and shall
         consist of Loans of the same Type, having the same Interest Period and
         made or Converted on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to
         their respective Percentages;

                  (ii)     at no time shall the number of Borrowings comprising
         Eurodollar Rate Loans outstanding hereunder be greater than ten (10);

                  (iii)    no Eurodollar Rate Loan may be Converted on a date
         other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan
         unless the corresponding amounts, if any, payable to the Lenders
         pursuant to Section 4.04(b) are paid contemporaneously with such
         Conversion;

                  (iv)     if the Borrower shall either fail to give a timely
         Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 3.02 in respect of any Loans
         or fail, in any Notice of Conversion that has been timely given, to
         select the duration of any Interest Period for Loans to be Converted
         into Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with Section 3.03, such Loans
         shall, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor,
         automatically Convert into, or remain as, as the case may be, ABR
         Loans; and

                  (v)      if, on the date of any proposed Conversion, any Event
         of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Loans
         then outstanding shall, on such date, automatically Convert into, or
         remain as, as the case may be, ABR Loans.

                  (b)      If any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental
authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Applicable Lending
Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make, or to fund or maintain,
Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make, or
to Convert Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Borrowing or any
subsequent Borrowing from such Lender shall be forthwith suspended until the
earlier to occur of the date upon which (A) such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto and (B) it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make, fund or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) if the maintenance of Eurodollar Rate
Loans then outstanding through the last day of the Interest Period therefor
would cause such Lender to be in violation of such law, regulation or assertion,
the Borrower shall either prepay or Convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans from such
Lender within five days after such notice. Promptly upon becoming aware that the
circumstances that caused such Lender to deliver such notice no longer exist,
such Lender shall deliver notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (but the
failure to do so shall impose no liability upon such Lender). Promptly upon
receipt of such notice from such Lender (or upon such Lender's assigning all of
its Commitment, Loans, participation and other

                                       28
<PAGE>

rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 10.07), the Administrative
Agent shall deliver notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders and such
suspension shall terminate.

                  (c)      If the Required Lenders shall, at least one Business
Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent
that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in connection
with such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required
Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Loans
for such Borrowing, or that they are unable to acquire funding in a reasonable
manner so as to make available Eurodollar Rate Loans in the amount and for the
Interest Period requested, or if the Administrative Agent shall determine that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist to be able to determine the Adjusted
LIBO Rate, then the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Loans for
such Borrowing and any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Loan to be made
or Converted in connection with such Borrowing shall be an ABR Loan.

                  (d)      If any Lender shall have delivered a notice to the
Administrative Agent described in Section 3.04(b), and if and so long as such
Lender shall not have withdrawn such notice in accordance with said Section
3.04(b), the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may demand that such Lender
assign in accordance with Section 10.07, to one or more banks or other financial
institutions designated by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (each a
"Prospective Lender"), all (but not less than all) of such Lender's Commitment,
Loans, participation and other rights and obligations hereunder; provided that
any such demand by the Borrower during the continuance of an Event of Default or
Default shall be ineffective without the consent of the Required Lenders. If,
within 30 days following any such demand by the Administrative Agent or the
Borrower, any such Prospective Lender so designated shall fail to consummate
such assignment on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Lender, or the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent shall have failed to designate any such Prospective
Lender, then such demand by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall
become ineffective, it being understood for purposes of this provision that such
assignment shall be conclusively deemed to be on terms reasonably satisfactory
to such Lender, and such Lender shall be compelled to consummate such assignment
forthwith, if such Prospective Lender (i) shall agree to such assignment in
substantially the form of the Lender Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit F and
(ii) shall tender payment to such Lender in an amount equal to the full
outstanding dollar amount accrued in favor of such Lender hereunder (as computed
in accordance with the records of the Administrative Agent), including, without
limitation, all accrued interest and fees and, to the extent not paid by the
Borrower, any payments required pursuant to Section 4.04(b).

                  (e)      Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion
shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing
which the related Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion specifies is to be
comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender
against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any
failure to fulfill, on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing
or Notice of Conversion for such Borrowing, the applicable conditions (if any)
set forth in this Article III (other than failure pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.04(b) or (c) hereof) or in Article V, including any such loss
(including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
Lender

                                       29
<PAGE>

to fund the Loan to be made by such Lender when such Loan, as a result of such
failure, is not made on such date.

         SECTION 3.05. REPAYMENT OF LOANS; INTEREST

                  (a)      Principal. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding
principal amount of the Facility A Loans on the Facility A Maturity Date (or
such earlier date as may be required pursuant to Section 2.03 or 8.02) and shall
repay the outstanding principal amount of the Facility B Loans on the Facility B
Maturity Date (or such earlier date as may be required pursuant to Section 2.03
or 8.02). No installment of any Loan (other than Facility A Revolving Loans
prior to the Conversion Date) may be reborrowed once repaid.

                  (b)      Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Loan owing to each Lender from the date of such
Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the Applicable Rate
for such Loan (except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b)), payable as
follows:

                  (i)      ABR Loans. If such Loan is an ABR Loan, interest
         thereon shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
         March, June, September and December, on the date of any Conversion of
         such ABR Loan and on the date such ABR Loan shall become due and
         payable or shall otherwise be paid in full; provided that any amount of
         principal that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by
         acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which
         such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on
         demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Default Rate.

                  (ii)     Eurodollar Rate Loans. If such Loan is a Eurodollar
         Rate Loan, interest thereon shall be payable on the last day of such
         Interest Period and, if the Interest Period for such Loan has a
         duration of more than three months, on that day of each third month
         during such Interest Period that corresponds to the first day of such
         Interest Period (or, if any such month does not have a corresponding
         day, then on the last day of such month); provided that any amount of
         principal that is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by
         acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which
         such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on
         demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Default Rate.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                    PAYMENTS, COMPUTATIONS AND YIELD PROTECTION

         SECTION 4.01. PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS.

                  (a)      The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 2
Penns Way, Suite 200, New Castle, DE 19270, in same day funds; any payment
received after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been
received at the start of business on the next succeeding Business Day, unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received from, or on behalf of, the Borrower
a Federal Reserve reference number with respect to such payment before 4:00 p.m.
(New York City time). The

                                       30
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds
relating to the payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to
the Lenders, to the respective Lenders to which the same are payable, for the
account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, in each case to be
applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If and to the extent
that any distribution of any payment from the Borrower required to be made to
any Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be made in full by the
Administrative Agent on the date such payment was received by the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender, upon demand, interest
on the unpaid amount of such distribution, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate, from the date of such payment by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent to the date of payment in full by the Administrative
Agent to such Lender of such unpaid amount. Upon the Administrative Agent's
acceptance of a Lender Assignment and recording of the information contained
therein in the Register pursuant to Section 10.07, from and after the effective
date specified in such Lender Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall make
all payments hereunder and under any Promissory Notes in respect of the interest
assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such
Lender Assignment shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for
periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

                  (b)      The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is not made when due hereunder (or, in
the case of a Lender, under any Promissory Note held by such Lender), to charge
from time to time against any or all of the Borrower's accounts with the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, any amount so due.

                  (c)      All computations of interest based on the Alternate
Base Rate (when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate) shall be
made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be. All other computations of interest and fees hereunder
(including computations of interest based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate and the
Federal Funds Effective Rate) shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the
basis of a year of 360 days. In each such case, such computation shall be made
for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last
day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each
such determination by the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                  (d)      Whenever any payment hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest
and fees hereunder; provided, however, that if such extension would cause
payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the
next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding
Business Day and such reduction of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest hereunder.

                  (e)      Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the

                                       31
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be
distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then
due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender,
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

                  (f)      Any amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under
any of the Promissory Notes that is not paid when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall (to the fullest extent permitted
by law) bear interest, from the date when due until paid in full, at a rate per
annum equal at all times to the Default Rate, payable on demand.

                  (g)      If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied, subject to
Section 4.07, (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of
principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto.

         SECTION 4.02. INTEREST RATE DETERMINATION. The Administrative Agent
shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable
interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section
3.05(b)(i) or (ii).

         SECTION 4.03. PREPAYMENTS. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay
any principal amount of any Loans other than as follows:

                  (a)      The Borrower may (and shall provide notice thereof to
the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
date of prepayment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute
copies thereof to the Lenders), and if such notice is given, the Borrower shall,
prepay the outstanding principal amounts of Loans made as part of the same
Borrowing, in whole or ratably in part, together with (i) accrued interest to
the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and (ii) in the case
of Eurodollar Rate Loans, any amount payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section
4.04(b); provided, however, that (a) each partial prepayment shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) the Borrower shall not prepay any
Facility B Loans unless and until all Facility A Loans have been prepaid in full
in cash.

                  (b)      On the date of any termination or optional or
mandatory reduction of the Facility A Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section
2.03, the Borrower shall pay or prepay the principal outstanding on the Facility
A Revolving Loans in full in cash in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the
sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Facility A Revolving Loans
outstanding (after giving effect to all Extensions of Credit to be made on such
date and the application of the proceeds thereof) over (ii) the aggregate amount
of the Facility A Revolving Commitments (following such termination or
reduction, if any), together with (x) accrued interest to the date of such
prepayment on the principal amount repaid and (y) in the case of prepayments of
Eurodollar Rate Loans, any amount payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section

                                       32
<PAGE>

4.04(b). Any payments and prepayments required by this subsection (b) shall be
applied to outstanding ABR Loans up to the full amount thereof before they are
applied to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans.

         SECTION 4.04. YIELD PROTECTION.

                  (a)      Increased Costs. If, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation after the Closing Date, or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or
request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not
having the force of law) issued or made after the Closing Date, there shall be
reasonably incurred any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make
or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall
from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost and giving
a reasonable explanation thereof, submitted to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent by such Lender shall constitute such demand and shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                  (b)      Breakage. If, due to any prepayment pursuant to
Section 4.03, an acceleration of maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.02,
or any other reason, any Lender receives payments of principal of any Eurodollar
Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating to such
Loan or if the Borrower shall Convert any Eurodollar Rate Loans on any day other
than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, or if the Borrower shall fail
to prepay a Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date specified in a notice of
prepayment, the Borrower shall, promptly after demand by such Lender (with a
copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such
Lender for additional losses, costs, or expenses (including anticipated lost
profits) that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment,
Conversion or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
such Lender to fund or maintain such Loan. For purposes of this subsection (b),
a certificate setting forth the amount of such additional losses, costs, or
expenses and giving a reasonable explanation thereof, submitted to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall constitute such demand and
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                  (c)      Capital. If any Lender determines that (i) compliance
with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or
other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or
would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender, whether directly, or indirectly as a result of commitments of any
corporation controlling such Lender (but without duplication), and (ii) the
amount of such capital is increased by or based upon (A) the existence of such
Lender's commitment to lend hereunder, or (B) the issuance or maintenance of any
Loan and (C) other similar such commitments, then, upon demand by such Lender,
the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the
extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to

                                       33
<PAGE>

be allocable to the transactions contemplated hereby. A certificate as to such
amounts and giving a reasonable explanation thereof (to the extent permitted by
law), submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender,
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                  (d)      Notices. Each Lender hereby agrees to use its best
efforts to notify the Borrower of the occurrence of any event referred to in
subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.04 promptly after becoming aware of
the occurrence thereof. The failure of any Lender to provide such notice or to
make demand for payment under said subsection shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's rights hereunder; provided that, notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary contained in this Section 4.04, the Borrower shall not be required
to reimburse any Lender for any amounts or costs incurred under subsection (a),
(b) or (c) above, more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies
the Borrower in writing thereof, in each case unless, and to the extent that,
any such amounts or costs so incurred shall relate to the retroactive
application of any event notified to the Borrower which entitles such Lender to
such compensation. If any Lender shall subsequently determine that any amount
demanded and collected under this Section 4.04 was done so in error, such Lender
will promptly return such amount to the Borrower.

                  (e)      Survival of Obligations. Subject to subsection (d)
above, the Borrower's obligations under this Section 4.04 shall survive the
repayment of all other amounts owing to the Lenders and the Agents under the
Loan Documents and the termination of the Commitments. If and to the extent that
the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 4.04 are unenforceable for
any reason, the Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction thereof which is permissible under applicable law.

         SECTION 4.05. SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. If any Lender shall obtain any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Loans owing to it (other than pursuant
to Section 4.04 or Section 4.06) in excess of its ratable share of payments
obtained by all the Lenders on account of the Loans of such Lenders, such Lender
shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Loans
owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall
repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (ii) the
total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other
amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount
so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.05 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the
direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender shall obtain any such excess
payment involuntarily, such Lender may, in lieu of purchasing participations
from the other Lenders in accordance with this Section 4.05, on the date of
receipt of such excess payment, return such excess payment to the Administrative
Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01(a).

                                       34

         SECTION 4.06. TAXES.

                  (a)      All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents shall be made in accordance with Section 4.01, free and
clear of and without deduction for all present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding, in the case of each Lender and each Agent, taxes imposed on its
overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction under
the laws of which such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any
political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on
its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction of
such Lender's Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof
(all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings
and liabilities 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 any other Loan Document to any Lender or 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 4.06) such Lender or 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.

                  (b)      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 that arise from any payment made hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(hereinafter referred to as "OTHER TAXES").

                  (c)      The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and Agent for
the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and any Other
Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.06)
paid by such Lender or 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 from the date such
Lender or Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor; provided,
that such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) shall not be entitled to demand
payment under this Section 4.06 for an amount if such demand is not made within
one year following the date upon which such Lender or Agent (as the case may be)
shall have been required to pay such amount.

                  (d)      Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment
of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address
referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof.

                  (e)      Each Bank represents and warrants that either (i) it
is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction within the United States or (ii)
it has delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent duly completed
copies of such form or forms prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue
Service indicating that such Bank is entitled to receive payments without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, as permitted
by the Internal

                                       35
<PAGE>

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each other Lender agrees that, on or prior to
the date upon which it shall become a party hereto, and upon the reasonable
request from time to time of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such
Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (to the extent
that it is not prohibited by law from doing so) either (A) a statement that it
is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction within the United States or (B)
duly completed copies of such form or forms as may from time to time be
prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service, indicating that such
Lender is entitled to receive payments without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes, as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. Each Bank that has delivered, and each other Lender that
hereafter delivers, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the form or
forms referred to in the two preceding sentences further undertakes to deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to the extent that it is not
prohibited by law from doing so, further copies of such form or forms, or
successor applicable form or forms, as the case may be, as and when any previous
form filed by it hereunder shall expire or shall become incomplete or inaccurate
in any respect. Each Lender represents and warrants that each such form supplied
by it to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower pursuant to this subsection
(e), and not superseded by another form supplied by it, is or will be, as the
case may be, complete and accurate.

         SECTION 4.07. APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS.

                  (a)      Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 and Section
4.07(b), all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans,
all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations
hereunder, shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto,
ratably or otherwise as expressly provided herein. Except as provided in Section
4.07(b) with respect to payments and proceeds of Collateral received after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, all such payments and any other amounts
received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower
shall be applied

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

                  (ii)     second, to pay interest on the Facility A Loans and
         the interest on the Facility B Loans, and then the principal of the
         Facility A Loans and the principal of the Facility B Loans, in each
         case, then due and payable (in the order described hereinbelow),

                  (iii)    third, to pay all other Obligations of any Loan Party
         under any Loan Document then due and payable, ratably, and

                  (iv)     fourth, as the Borrower so designates.

All amounts applied in respect of Facility A Loans shall be deemed to be applied
first to Facility A Revolving Loans (and shall permanently reduce on a ratable
basis the Facility A Revolving Commitment of each Lender) or any Facility A
Loans following the Conversion Date that re-evidence such Facility A Revolving
Loans, and thereafter all other Facility A Loans. All such

                                       36
<PAGE>

principal and interest payments in respect of the Loans shall be applied first
to repay outstanding ABR Loans and then to repay outstanding Eurodollar Rate
Loans with those Eurodollar Rate Loans which have earlier expiring Interest
Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring Interest Periods

                  (b)      During the continuance of an Event of Default and
after declaration thereof by written notice from the Administrative Agent to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments in respect of any
Loans, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver all proceeds of Collateral to the
Administrative Agent for application, in the following order:

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

                  (ii)     second, to pay any fees, expense reimbursements or
         indemnities then due to the Agents under any of the Loan Documents;

                  (iii)    third, to pay any fees, expense reimbursements or
         indemnities then due to the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents;

                  (iv)     fourth, to pay interest due in respect of the
         Facility A Loans and the interest in respect of the Facility B Loans,
         in each case, ratably, in accordance with the Lenders' respective
         Percentages;

                  (v)      fifth, to the payment or prepayment of principal
         outstanding on all Facility A Loans and then on all Facility B Loans;

                  (vi)     sixth, to the ratable payment of all other
         Obligations of the Loan Parties then outstanding under the Loan
         Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the obligations under the Enterprises 2003
Credit Agreement shall not have been paid in full, the Collateral Agent shall
apply the proceeds of any voluntary sale of Collateral (other than Collateral in
respect of which the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent shall have
a prior security interest on behalf of the Lenders hereunder) as contemplated by
the Enterprises 2003 Credit Agreement unless an "Event of Default" under (and as
defined in) the AIG Pledge Agreement arising from the non-compliance with the
terms of Section 4.5 of the AIG Pledge Agreement has occurred and is continuing,
or would result from the transaction giving rise to such proceeds. The order of
priority set forth in this Section 4.07(b) and the related provisions of this
Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the
Agents and the Lenders as among themselves.

         SECTION 4.08. Proceeds of Collateral. During the continuance of an
Event of Default and after declaration thereof by written notice from the
Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall cause all proceeds of
Collateral (other than Collateral in respect of which the Collateral Agent
and/or the Administrative Agent shall have a prior security interest on behalf
of the Lenders hereunder) to be deposited pursuant to arrangements for the
collection of such amounts established by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (or the Collateral Agent, as

                                       37
<PAGE>

applicable) for application pursuant to Section 4.07 or, unless an "Event of
Default" under (and as defined in) the AIG Pledge Agreement arising from the
non-compliance with the terms of Section 4.5 of the AIG Pledge Agreement has
occurred and is continuing, or would result from the transaction giving rise to
such proceeds, as otherwise required under the Enterprises 2003 Credit Agreement
so long as such agreements shall be in effect. All collections of proceeds of
Collateral which are received directly by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the
Borrower shall be deemed to have been received by the Borrower or such
Subsidiary of the Borrower as the Collateral Agent's trustee and, during the
continuance of an Event of Default and after declaration thereof by written
notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, upon the Borrower's or
such Subsidiary's receipt thereof, the Borrower shall immediately transfer or
cause to be transferred all such amounts to the Administrative Agent for
application pursuant to Section 4.07 or, unless an "Event of Default" under (and
as defined in) the AIG Pledge Agreement arising from the non-compliance with the
terms of Section 4.5 of the AIG Pledge Agreement has occurred and is continuing,
or would result from the transaction giving rise to such proceeds, as otherwise
required under the Enterprises 2003 Credit Agreement so long as such agreements
shall be in effect. All other proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral
Agent and/or the Administrative Agent, whether through direct payment or
otherwise, will be deemed received by such Agent, will be the sole property of
such Agent, and will be held by such Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders for
application pursuant to Section 4.07 or, unless an "Event of Default" under (and
as defined in) the AIG Pledge Agreement arising from the noncompliance with the
terms of Section 4.5 of the AIG Pledge Agreement has occurred and is continuing,
or would result from the transaction giving rise to such proceeds, as otherwise
required under the Enterprises 2003 Credit Agreement so long as such agreements
shall be in effect.

                  (n)      The Consolidated 2002-2007 Projections of Consumers,

Administrative Agent and the Banks on and after March 30, 2003 is true and
correct in all material respects as at the dates and for the periods indicated

not give effect to any Restatement Event).

credit for the purpose of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation U issued by the Board), and no proceeds of any Loan will be used to

buying or carrying any margin stock.

meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).

                  (q)      No proceeds of any Extension of Credit will be used
to acquire any security in any transaction without the approval of the board of
directors of the Person issuing such security if (i) the acquisition of such
security would cause the Borrower to own, directly or indirectly, 5.0% or more
of any outstanding class of securities issued by such Person, or (ii) such
security is being acquired in connection with a tender offer.

                  (r)      Following application of the proceeds of each

Liabilities aggregating $6,000,000 or more, to terminate the reinvestment of
collections or proceeds of receivables and related security under any agreements
or instruments related thereto (other than a termination resulting solely from
the request of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries); or

                  (f)      (i) The Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or
Consumers shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) any proceeding shall be
instituted by or against the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or Consumers
seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation,
winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or
composition of its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief
or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or other similar official for it or
for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of a proceeding
instituted against the Borrower, either such proceeding shall remain undismissed
or unstayed for a period of 60 days or any of the actions sought in such
proceeding (including the entry of an order for relief against the Borrower, a
Restricted Subsidiary or Consumers or the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
custodian or other similar official for the Borrower, such Restricted Subsidiary
or Consumers or any of its property) shall occur; or (iii) the Borrower, any
Restricted Subsidiary or Consumers shall take

                                       60

<PAGE>

any corporate or other action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in
this subsection (f); or

                  (g)      Any judgment or order for the payment of money in
excess of $6,000,000 shall be rendered against the Borrower, any Guarantor or
any of their respective properties and either (i) enforcement proceedings shall
have been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or order or (ii) there
shall be any period of 30 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of
such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be
in effect; or

                  (h)      Any material provision of any Loan Document, after
execution hereof or delivery thereof under Article V, shall for any reason other
than the express terms hereof or thereof cease to be valid and binding on any
party thereto; or any Loan Party shall so assert in writing; or any Guarantor
shall terminate or revoke any of its obligations under the applicable Guaranty;
or

                  (i)      Any "Event of Default" shall occur under and as
defined in the AIG Pledge Agreement as in effect on January 8, 2003 (and without
giving effect to any amendment or other modification thereto); or

                  (j)      There shall be imposed or enacted any Consumers
Dividend Restriction, the result of which is that the Dividend Coverage Ratio
shall be less than 1.15 to 1.0 at any time after the imposition of such
Consumers Dividend Restriction; or

                  (k)      At any time, for any reason (except to the extent
permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents or due to any failure by the
Collateral Agent to take any action on its part to be performed under applicable
law in order to maintain the perfection or priority of any such Liens), (i) the
Liens intended to be created under any of the Loan Documents with respect to
Collateral having a Fair Market Value of $6,000,000 or more become, or the
Borrower or any such Subsidiary seeks to render such Liens, invalid or
unperfected, or (ii) Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders contemplated by the Loan Documents with respect to Collateral having
a Fair Market Value of $6,000,000 or more shall, at any time, for any reason, be
invalidated or otherwise cease to be in full force and effect, or such Liens
shall not have the priority contemplated by this Agreement or the Loan
Documents.

         SECTION 8.02. REMEDIES. If any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, then the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required
Lenders, upon notice to the Borrower (i) declare the Commitments and the
obligation of each Lender to make or Convert Loans to be terminated, whereupon
the same shall forthwith terminate, (ii) declare the principal amount
outstanding hereunder, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable,
whereupon the principal amount outstanding hereunder, all such interest and all
such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower, and (iii) exercise in respect of any and all collateral,
in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders, all
the rights and remedies of a

                                       61

<PAGE>

secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the
State of New York and in effect in any other jurisdiction in which collateral is
located at that time; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or
deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower or any
Guarantor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (A) the Commitments and the
obligation of each Lender to make or Convert Loans shall automatically be
terminated and (B) the principal amount outstanding hereunder, all such interest
and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                   THE AGENTS

         SECTION 9.01. AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION.

                  (a)      Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each
Agent as its agent and authorizes each such Agent to take such actions on its
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms
of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.

                  (b)      Any Lender serving as an Agent hereunder shall have
the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and
may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Lender and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

                  (c)      No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, (i) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (ii) no Agent shall have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent
is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 10.01), and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Lender
serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
10.01 or any other provision of this Agreement) or in the absence of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice
thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender (in which case such
Agent shall promptly give a copy of such written notice to the Lenders and the
other Agents). No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with any Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report
or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (C) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms

                                       62

<PAGE>

or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (D) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article V or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

                  (d)      Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also
may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it
to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

                  (e)      Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by
such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties
and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of the preceding subsections of this Section 9.01 shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any
such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as an Agent.

                  (f)      Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
successor Agent as provided in this subsection (f), any Agent may resign at any
time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to
appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a Lender with
an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such Lender. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After an Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Agent.

                  (g)      Each Lender acknowledges that it has independently
and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or
any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each
Lender agrees (except as provided in Section

                                       63

<PAGE>

10.05) that it will not take any legal action, nor institute any actions or
proceedings, against the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder or with respect
to any Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender may accelerate or
otherwise enforce its portion of the Loans, or unilaterally terminate its
Commitment except in accordance with Section 8.02.

         SECTION 9.02. INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders agree to indemnify each
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the
respective Percentages of the Lenders, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under
this Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse the Agents and the Arranger promptly upon demand for its ratable share
of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agents in
connection with the preparation, syndication, 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 to the extent that the Agents
are entitled to reimbursement for such expenses pursuant to Section 10.04 but
are not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

         SECTION 9.03. CONCERNING THE COLLATERAL AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

                  (a)      Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral
Agent to enter into the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral for the
benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by any Agent or
the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement,
a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by any Agent or the
Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers
set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall
have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and
collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections
arising in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents relating to the
Collateral; (ii) execute and deliver each Loan Document relating to the
Collateral and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party a party thereto; (iii) act as collateral agent for the
Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by such agreements
and all other purposes stated therein; provided, however, the Collateral Agent
hereby appoints, authorizes and directs the other Agents and the Lenders to act
as collateral sub-agent for the Collateral Agent and the Lenders for purposes of
the perfection of all Liens with respect to any property of the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries at any time in the possession of such Lender, including,
without limitation, deposit accounts maintained with, and cash held by, such
Lender; (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral; (v) take
such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority
of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents; and (vi)
except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by

                                       64

<PAGE>

the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, exercise all remedies
given to the Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect to the Collateral
under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.

                  (b)      The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby
directs, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent to
release any Lien held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders:

                  (i)      against all of the Collateral, upon payment in full
         of the Obligations of all of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents
         and termination of this Agreement;

                  (ii)     against any part of the Collateral sold or disposed
         of by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, if such sale or
         disposition is otherwise permitted under this Agreement, as certified
         to the Collateral Agent by the Borrower, or is otherwise consented to
         by the Required Lenders;

                  (iii)    against any part of the Collateral consisting of a
         promissory note, upon payment in full of the Debt evidenced thereby;
         and/or

                  (iv)     against any of the Collateral and any Grantor upon
         the occurrence of any event described in Section 8.10 of the Pledge
         Agreements.

The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby directs the Collateral Agent to
execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and
do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant
to this Section 9.03(b) promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

         SECTION 9.04. RELEASE OF GUARANTORS. Upon (x) the liquidation or
dissolution of any Guarantor, or sale of all of the capital stock or other
ownership interests of any Guarantor, in each case which is permitted pursuant
to the terms of any Loan Document or consented to in writing by the Required
Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5)
Business Days' prior written request by the Borrower or (y) the occurrence of
any event described in Section 11 of the Guaranty, the Collateral Agent shall
(and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents
as may be necessary to evidence the release of the applicable Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent
shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the
Collateral Agent's opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or
create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such
Guarantor without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any
manner discharge, affect or impair the Loans, any other Guarantor's obligations
under the Guaranty, or, if applicable, any obligations of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary in respect of the proceeds of any such sale retained by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 10.01. AMENDMENTS, ETC. No amendment or waiver of any provision
of any Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom,
shall in any event be

                                       65

<PAGE>

effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required
Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that
no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the
Lenders, do any of the following: (i) waive, modify or eliminate any of the
conditions specified in Article V, (ii) increase the Commitments of the Lenders
that may be maintained hereunder, (iii) reduce the principal of, or interest on,
any Loan, any Applicable Margin, any Commitment Fee Margin or any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder (other than fees payable to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.02(b)), (iv) postpone any date fixed for any payment of
principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder (other than fees payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.02(b)) (except with respect to any modifications of the provisions
relating to amounts, timing or application of prepayments of Loans and other
Obligations which modification shall require only the approval of the Required
Lenders (other than the provisions relating to the amounts, timing or
application of prepayments of (a) the Facility A Loans which modifications shall
also require the approval of Lenders with Facility A Loans greater than or equal
to 66 2/3% of all of the Facility A Loans, and (b) the Facility B Loans which
modifications shall also require the approval of Lenders with Facility B Loans
greater than or equal to 66 2/3% of all of the Facility B Loans)), (v) change
the definition of "Required Lenders" contained in Section 1.01 or change any
other provision that specifies the percentage of the Commitments or of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans or the number of Lenders which
shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder,
(vi) amend, waive or modify Section 2.03(b) or this Section 10.01, (vii) release
the Collateral Agent's Lien on all of the Collateral or any portion of the
Collateral in excess of $50,000,000 (except as provided in Section 9.03(b)), or
(viii) extend the Commitment Termination Date, the Facility A Maturity Date or
the Facility B Maturity Date; and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver
or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Agent in addition to the
Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of any
Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any request from the
Borrower for any amendment, waiver or consent under this Section 10.01 shall be
addressed to the Administrative Agent.

         SECTION 10.02. NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications
provided for hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing
(including telegraphic, facsimile, telex or cable communication) and mailed,
telegraphed, telecopied, telexed, cabled or delivered, (i) if to the Borrower,

                                       66

<PAGE>

delivered to the telegraph company, telecopied, confirmed by telex answerback or
delivered to the cable company, respectively, except that notices and
communications to any Agent pursuant to Article II, III, or IX shall not be
effective until received by such Agent.

         SECTION 10.03. NO WAIVER OF REMEDIES. No failure on the part of the
Borrower, any Lender or any Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law.

         SECTION 10.04. COSTS, EXPENSES AND INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a)      The Borrower agrees to (i) reimburse on demand all
reasonable costs and expenses of each Agent and the Arranger (including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Agents) in connection with (A)
the preparation, syndication, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents and (B) the care and custody of any and all collateral, and any
proposed modification, amendment, or consent relating to any Loan Document, and
(ii) to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of each Agent and, on
and after the date upon which the principal amount outstanding hereunder becomes
or is declared to be due and payable pursuant to Section 8.02 or an Event of
Default specified in Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender (including fees and expenses of counsel to the Agents, special Michigan
counsel to the Lenders and, from and after such date, counsel for each Lender
(including the allocated costs and expenses of in-house counsel)) in connection
with the workout, restructuring or enforcement (whether through negotiations,
legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
the other documents to be delivered hereunder.

                  (b)      The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, the
Arranger, each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each such Person being called an "INDEMNIFIED PERSON") against, and hold each
Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Person, incurred by or asserted
against any Indemnified Person arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan
or other Extension of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of any Hazardous
Substance on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnified Person is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

                                       67

<PAGE>

                  (c)      The Borrower's other obligations under this Section
10.04 shall survive the repayment of all amounts owing to the Lenders and the
Agents under the Loan Documents and the termination of the Commitments. If and
to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.04 are
unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower agrees to make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction thereof which is permissible under
applicable law.

         SECTION 10.05. RIGHT OF SET-OFF.

                  (a)      Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the
consent specified by Section 8.02 to authorize the Administrative Agent to
declare the principal amount outstanding hereunder to be due and payable
pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.02, each Lender is hereby authorized at
any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing
by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, against any
and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement and the Promissory Notes held by such Lender, irrespective of whether
or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such
Promissory Notes, as the case may be, and although such obligations may be
unmatured. Each Lender agrees to notify promptly the Borrower after any such
set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights of each Lender under this Section 10.05 are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

                  (b)      The Borrower agrees that it shall have no right of
off-set, deduction or counterclaim in respect of its obligations hereunder, and
that the obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing
contained herein shall constitute a relinquishment or waiver of the Borrower's
rights to any independent claim that the Borrower may have against any Agent or
any Lender for such Agent's or such Lender's, as the case may be, gross
negligence or willful misconduct, but no Lender shall be liable for any such
conduct on the part of any Agent or any other Lender, and no Agent shall be
liable for any such conduct on the part of any Lender.

         SECTION 10.06. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall become effective
when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Agents and when the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Bank that such Bank has
executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower, the Agents and each Lender and their respective successors and
assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights
hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the
Lenders.

         SECTION 10.07. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATION.

                  (a)      Any Lender may sell participations in all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to
subsection (b) below and any Lender may assign all or any part of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to subsection (c) below.

                                       68

<PAGE>

                  (b)      Any Lender may sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities (each a "PARTICIPANT") in all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of its Commitment and its outstanding Loan), provided that (i) such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its
Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance
of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of the Loans of
such Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and (iv) the Borrower shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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
Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent
of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 10.01 or of any other
Loan Document. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have
the right of set-off provided in Section 10.05 in respect of 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 set-off
provided in Section 10.05 with respect to the amount of participating interests
sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and
each Participant, by exercising the right of set-off provided in Section 10.05,
agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise
of its right of set-off, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section
10.05 as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.04 and 4.06 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c); provided that (i) a Participant shall
not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.04 or 4.06 than
the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have
received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of
such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the
Borrower, and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of
Section 4.06 to the same extent as if it were a Lender.

                  (c)      Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, with the consent of the
Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
at any time assign to one or more financial institutions all or any part of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that the minimum principal
amount of any such assignment (other than assignments to a Federal Reserve Bank,
or to any other Lender or affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, or to any
direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements relating to the
Loans to the extent required in connection with the physical settlement of any
Lender's obligations pursuant thereto) shall be $1,000,000 (or such lesser
amount consented to by the Administrative Agent); provided that, unless such
Lender is assigning all of its rights and obligations hereunder, after giving
effect to such assignment the assigning Lender shall have Loans in the aggregate
of not less than $1,000,000 (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative
Agent).

                  (d)      Any Lender may, in connection with any sale or
participation or proposed sale or participation pursuant to this Section 10.07
disclose to the purchaser or Participant or

                                       69

<PAGE>

proposed purchaser or Participant any information relating to the Borrower
furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that prior to
any such disclosure of non-public information, the purchaser or Participant or
proposed purchaser or Participant (which Participant is not an affiliate of a
Lender) shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential
information (except any such disclosure as may be required by law or regulatory
process) relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender.

                  (e)      Assignments under this Section 10.07 shall be made
pursuant to an agreement (a "LENDER ASSIGNMENT") substantially in the form of
Exhibit F hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties
thereto and shall not be effective until a $3,500 fee has been paid to the
Administrative Agent by the assignee, which fee shall cover the cost of
processing such assignment, provided, that such fee shall not be incurred in the
event of an assignment by any Lender of all or a portion of its rights under
this Agreement to (i) a Federal Reserve Bank or (ii) a Lender or an affiliate or
Approved Fund of the assigning Lender or (iii) to any direct or indirect
contractual counterparties in swap agreements relating to the Loans to the
extent required in connection with the physical settlement of any Lender's
obligations pursuant thereto.

                  (f)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any Lender (a "GRANTING LENDER") may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle (an "SPC"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the
Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to
provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender is
obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i)
nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, (ii)
if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all
or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall remain obligated to make
such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not be required
to pay any amount under Section 4.06 that is greater than the amount which it
would have been required to pay had there been no grant to an SPC and (iv) any
SPC (or assignee of an SPC) will comply, if applicable, with the provisions
contained in Section 4.06. No grant by any Granting Lender to an SPC agreeing to
provide a Loan or the making of such Loan by such SPC shall operate to relieve
such Granting Lender of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, except to the
extent of the making of such Loan by such SPC. The making of a Loan by an SPC
hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same
extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party
hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar
payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain
with the Granting Lender). In addition, each party hereto hereby agrees (which
agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that any SPC may (i)
with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all
or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any
financial institutions (consented to by the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of
such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This Section 10.07(f) may not be
amended without the written consent of any SPC that holds an option to provide
Loans. No recourse under any obligation, covenant, or agreement of the SPC
contained in this Agreement shall be had against any shareholder, officer, agent
or

                                       70

<PAGE>

director of the SPC as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any
proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and
understood that this Agreement is a corporate obligation of the SPC and no
personal liability shall attach to or be incurred by any officer, agent or
member of the SPC as such, or any of them under or by reason of any of the
obligations, covenants or agreements of the SPC contained in this Agreement, or
implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by the
SPC of any such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at law or by
statute or constitution, of every such shareholder, officer, agent or director
is hereby expressly waived by all parties to this Agreement as a condition of
and consideration for the SPC entering into this Agreement; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not relieve any such person or entity of any liability
they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions or omissions taken
by them. All parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the SPC shall
only be liable for any claims that each of them may have against the SPC only to
the extent of the SPC's assets. The provisions of this clause shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

                  (g)      Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

                  (h)      The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its
address referred to in Section 10.02 a copy of each Lender Assignment delivered
to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Agents 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.

         SECTION 10.08. CONFIDENTIALITY. In connection with the negotiation and
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower has
furnished and will from time to time furnish to the Agents and the Lenders
(each, a "RECIPIENT") written information which is identified to the Recipient
when delivered as confidential (such information, other than any such
information which (i) was publicly available, or otherwise known to the
Recipient, at the time of disclosure, (ii) subsequently becomes publicly
available other than through any act or omission by the Recipient or (iii)
otherwise subsequently becomes known to the Recipient other than through a
Person whom the Recipient knows to be acting in violation of his or its
obligations to the Borrower, being hereinafter referred to as "CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION"). The Recipient will not knowingly disclose any such Confidential
Information to any third party (other than to those persons who have a
confidential relationship with the Recipient), and will take all reasonable
steps to restrict access to such information in a manner designed to maintain
the confidential nature of such information, in each case until such time as the
same ceases to be Confidential Information or as the Borrower may otherwise
instruct. It is understood, however, that the foregoing will not restrict the
Recipient's ability to freely exchange such Confidential Information with its
Affiliates or with prospective Participants in or assignees of the Recipient's

                                       71

<PAGE>

position herein, but the Recipient's ability to so exchange Confidential
Information shall be conditioned upon any such Affiliate's or prospective
Participant's (as the case may be) entering into an agreement as to
confidentiality similar to this Section 10.08. It is further understood that the
foregoing will not prohibit the disclosure of any or all Confidential
Information if and to the extent that such disclosure may be required (1) by a
regulatory agency or otherwise in connection with an examination of the
Recipient's records by appropriate authorities, (2) pursuant to court order,
subpoena or other legal process or in connection with any proceeding, suit or
other action relating to any Loan Document or (3) otherwise, as required by law;
in the event of any required disclosure under clause (2) or (3), above, the
Recipient agrees to use reasonable efforts to inform the Borrower as promptly as
practicable to the extent not prohibited by law. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, each party (and each Participant pursuant to
Section 10.07) (and each employee, representative or other agent of such party
(or Participant)) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any
kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents and all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such
U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which
nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable
securities laws.

         SECTION 10.09. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE
LENDERS EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR
THEREUNDER.

         SECTION 10.10. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE PROMISSORY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF
THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT
REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES). THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE
AGENTS, EACH (I) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE
COURT OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY
LOAN DOCUMENT, (II) AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN SUCH ACTION MAY BE DECIDED IN SUCH
COURT, (III) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE
OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND (IV) CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY MAIL. A
FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN
OTHER JURISDICTIONS. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE
LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT ITS RIGHT TO BRING ANY
ACTION IN ANY OTHER COURT. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT THE AGENTS SHALL HAVE THE
RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN A COURT IN ANY LOCATION
TO ENABLE THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER
SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER
ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE AGENTS OR ANY LENDER. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL
NOT ASSERT ANY PERMISSIVE COUNTERCLAIMS IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY AGENT

                                       72

<PAGE>

OR ANY LENDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE
OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF ANY AGENT
OR ANY LENDER. THE BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE
LOCATION OF THE COURT IN WHICH ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY COMMENCE A PROCEEDING
DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.

         SECTION 10.11. RELATION OF THE PARTIES; NO BENEFICIARY. No term,
provision or requirement, whether express or implied, of any Loan Document, or
actions taken or to be taken by any party thereunder, shall be construed to
create a partnership, association, or joint venture between such parties or any
of them. No term or provision of the Loan Documents shall be construed to confer
a benefit upon, or grant a right or privilege to, any Person other than the
parties hereto. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that neither any Agent nor any
Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to the Borrower
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, and the relationship between the Agents and the Lenders, on the one
hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith
is solely that of debtor and creditor.

         SECTION 10.12. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement.

         SECTION 10.13. SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENT. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates pursuant
hereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Agents and the
Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Extensions of Credit
and the execution and delivery to the Lenders of any Promissory Notes evidencing
the Extensions of Credit and shall continue in full force and effect so long as
any Promissory Note or any amount due hereunder is outstanding and unpaid or any
Commitment of any Lender has not been terminated.

         SECTION 10.14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: COMMUNICATIONS. WITH RESPECT TO
COMMUNICATIONS DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 10.15 OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH
COMMUNICATIONS AND THE PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". THE
CITIGROUP PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE
COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR
OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE
CITIGROUP PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. THE
BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALTHOUGH THE PRIMARY WEB PORTAL IS SECURED
WITH A DUAL FIREWALL AND A USER IDENTIFICATION/PASSWORD AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM AND
THE PLATFORM IS SECURED THROUGH A SINGLE USER PER DEAL AUTHORIZATION METHOD
WHEREBY EACH USER MAY ACCESS

                                       73

<PAGE>

THE PLATFORM ONLY ON A DEAL-BY-DEAL BASIS, THE DISTRIBUTION OF MATERIAL THROUGH
AN ELECTRONIC MEDIUM IS NOT NECESSARILY SECURE AND THAT THERE ARE
CONFIDENTIALITY AND OTHER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DISTRIBUTION. THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.14 SHALL SURVIVE THE MAKING OF ANY LOAN, THE
REPAYMENT THEREOF AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY LOAN DOCUMENT.

         SECTION 10.15. PLATFORM AND PRIMARY WEB PORTAL.

                  (a)      The Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable
best efforts to transmit to the Administrative Agent all information, documents
and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other
reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such
communication that (i) relates to a notice of borrowing or other extension of
credit or a conversion of an existing interest rate on any Loan or borrowing
(including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion), (ii) relates to the
payment of any principal or other amount due hereunder prior to the scheduled
date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent

(all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as
"COMMUNICATIONS"), in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent to oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com. In
addition, the Borrower shall continue to provide the Communications to the
Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement but only to the
extent requested by the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and the Borrower
further agree that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications
available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on "e-Disclosure" (the
"PLATFORM"), the Administrative Agent's internet delivery system that is part of
SSB Direct, Global Fixed Income's primary web portal (the "PRIMARY WEB PORTAL").

                  (b)      The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of
the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth
in clause (a) above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to
the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Agreement and under the Loan
Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it at its e-mail address provided
in clause (a) above specifying that Communications have been posted to the
Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such
Lender under this Agreement and under the Loan Documents.

                  (c)      Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any
notice or other communication pursuant hereto or to any other Loan Document in
any other manner specified herein or therein.

                  (d)      The provisions of Section 10.15(a) and (b) shall
terminate on the date that neither CUSA nor any of the Citigroup Parties is the
Administrative Agent.
