                                   THE CREDITS

      SECTION 2.01. COMMITMENTS.

      (a) FACILITY A REVOLVING COMMITMENT. On and after the Closing Date and
prior to the Facility A Termination Date, upon the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties
of Borrower herein set forth: (i) each Lender severally agrees to make Committed
Advances to the Borrower from time to time in amounts not to exceed in the
aggregate at any one time outstanding the amount of its Facility A Commitment,
and (ii) each Lender may, in its sole discretion, make bids to make Competitive
Bid Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03; PROVIDED that (A) if
any Competitive Bid Loans are outstanding and/or any Facility Letters of Credit
are issued and outstanding or drawn and unreimbursed, the aggregate availability
under the Facility A Commitments of the Lenders shall be reduced by the
aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Loans and of such Facility Letters of
Credit for as long as, and to the extent that, they remain outstanding or
unreimbursed, and the availability under the Facility A Commitment of each
Lender shall accordingly be reduced on a PRO RATA basis in accordance with its
Pro Rata Share, and (B) in no event may the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Facility A Advances, Competitive Bid Advances and Swing Line Loans
and the aggregate amount of all Facility Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the
Aggregate Facility A Commitment; AND PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the
outstanding Competitive Bid Advances and Swing Line Loans of any Lender shall
not reduce the availability under such Lender's Facility A Commitment. Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
under Facility A at any time prior to the Facility A Termination Date. The
Facility A Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire on the Facility A
Termination Date.

      (b) LETTER OF CREDIT COMMITMENT. On and after the Closing Date and prior
to the Facility A Termination Date, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties of Borrower herein set forth, to participate in
Facility Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.17; PROVIDED that in no event may the aggregate amount of all Facility
Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Letter of
Credit Commitment, or (ii) an amount equal to the Aggregate Facility A
Commitment minus the sum of all outstanding Advances and all outstanding Swing
Line Loans.

      (c) ADVANCES AND PARTICIPATIONS PRO RATA. Each Committed Advance and each
purchase of a Facility Letter of Credit participation hereunder shall be made by
the several Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

      SECTION 2.02. TYPES OF ADVANCES; MANDATORY PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS; FINAL
                    MATURITY.

      (a) The Committed Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Fixed Rate
Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with
Section 2.09; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that there shall not be more than five (5)
Facility A Advances which are Fixed Rate Advances outstanding at any time.

      (b) The Borrower shall prepay the principal of the Committed A Notes in
the amount, and promptly upon its receipt, of any principal payment made with
respect to the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note from and after the date the
Agent is granted a security interest therein pursuant to Section 8.01; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if the Company does not designate which of the Facilities is to be
reduced by such prepayment, the prepayment shall be applied first to any
Obligations outstanding under Facility B and then to any Obligations outstanding
under Facility A.

      (c) All Facility A Obligations shall be due and payable by the Borrower on
the Facility A Termination Date or shall become due and payable pursuant to
Section 9.02 below.

      (d) Except as provided above in this Section or elsewhere in this
Agreement or in the Facility B Credit Agreement, the Company may direct the
Agent to apply prepayments of the Obligations against either of the Facilities.

      SECTION 2.03. COMPETITIVE BID ADVANCES.

      (a) COMPETITIVE BID OPTION; REPAYMENT OF COMPETITIVE BID ADVANCES;
AGGREGATE LIMITATION. In addition to Committed Advances pursuant to Section
2.01, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the limitation set forth in Section 2.01 as to the maximum
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances hereunder), the Borrower
may, as set forth in this Section 2.03, request the Lenders, prior to the
Facility A Termination Date, to make offers to make Competitive Bid Advances to
the Borrower. Each Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers
and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in
the manner set forth in this Section 2.03. Competitive Bid Advances shall be
evidenced by the Competitive Bid Notes. Each Competitive Bid Advance shall be
repaid in full by the Borrower in accordance with the repayment terms contained
in the Competitive Bid Quote to which it relates. The maximum principal amount
of Competitive Bid Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed fifty percent
(50%) of the Aggregate Commitment.

      (b) COMPETITIVE BID QUOTE REQUEST. When the Borrower wishes to request
offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section 2.03, the Borrower shall
transmit to the Agent by telex or facsimile transmission a Competitive Bid Quote
Request so as to be received not later than (x) 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at
least five Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein (or such
other time or date as the Borrower and the Agent shall have mutually agreed
upon), specifying:

            (i)  the proposed  Borrowing  Date for the  proposed  Competitive
      Bid Advance;


                                       24

<PAGE>


            (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance,
      which shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 (and in multiples of
      $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); and

            (iii) the maturity date of the Competitive Bid Advance, which shall
      not be more than 30 days from the making of such Advance.

No Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be given within five Business Days (or,
upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other number of days as the
Borrower and the Agent may agree upon) of any other Competitive Bid Quote
Request. A Competitive Bid Quote Request that does not conform substantially to
the format of Exhibit "H" hereto shall be rejected, and the Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower of such rejection by telex or facsimile transmission.

      (c) INVITATION FOR COMPETITIVE BID QUOTES. Promptly upon receipt of a
Competitive Bid Quote Request that is not rejected pursuant to Section 2.03(b),
the Agent shall send to each of the Lenders by telex or facsimile transmission
an Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes, which shall constitute an invitation
by the Borrower to each Lender to submit Competitive Bid Quotes offering to make
the Competitive Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Quote Request relates in
accordance with this Section 2.03.

      (d)   SUBMISSION AND CONTENTS OF COMPETITIVE BID QUOTES.

            (i) Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, submit a Competitive
      Bid Quote containing an offer or offers to make Competitive Bid Loans in
      response to any Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Each Competitive
      Bid Quote must comply with the requirements of this Section 2.03(d) and
      must be submitted to the Agent by telex or facsimile transmission at its
      offices specified in or pursuant to Section 13.01 not later than (i) 1:00
      p.m. (Chicago time) at least four Business Days prior to the proposed
      Borrowing Date (or such other time or date as the Borrower and the Agent
      shall have mutually agreed upon); PROVIDED that Competitive Bid Quotes
      submitted by the Agent (or any Affiliate of the Agent) in the capacity of
      a Lender may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Agent or such
      Affiliate notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers
      contained therein not later than fifteen minutes prior to the deadline for
      the other Lenders. Subject to Article IV and Section 13.06, any
      Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written
      consent of the Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower.

            (ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall in any case specify:

            (A)   the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be the same as that
                  set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid
                  Quotes;


                                       25

<PAGE>


            (B)   the principal  amount of the  Competitive Bid Loan for which
                  each such offer is being made,  which  principal  amount (1)
                  may be greater  than,  less than or equal to the  Facility A
                  Commitment  of the quoting  Lender,  but in no case  greater
                  than  fifty  percent  (50%)  of  the  unutilized   Aggregate
                  Facility A  Commitment,  (2) must  be at  least  $10,000,000
                  (and  an  integral  multiple  of  $1,000,000  if  in  excess
                  thereof),  (3)  may  not  exceed  the  principal  amount  of
                  Competitive Bid Loans for which offers were  requested,  and
                  (4) may be  subject  to an  aggregate  limitation  as to the
                  principal  amount of Competitive  Bid Loans for which offers
                  being made by such quoting Lender may be accepted;

            (C)   the minimum or maximum amount, if any, of the Competitive Bid
                  Loan which may be accepted by the Borrower;

            (D)   the proposed interest rate and repayment terms to be
                  applicable to the Competitive Bid Loan; and

            (E) the identity of the quoting Lender.

            (iii) The Agent shall reject any Competitive Bid Quote that:

            (A)   is not substantially in the form of Exhibit "J" hereto or does
                  not specify all of the information required by Section
                  2.03(d)(ii);

            (B)   contains qualifying, conditional or similar language, other
                  than any such language contained in Exhibit "J" hereto;

            (C)   proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in
                  the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes; or

            (D)   arrives after the time set forth in Section 2.03(d)(i).

            (iv) If any Competitive Bid Quote shall be rejected pursuant to
      Section 2.03(d)(iii), then the Agent shall notify the relevant Lender of
      such rejection as soon as practicable.

      (e) NOTICE TO BORROWER. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of
the terms (i) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Lender that is in
accordance with Section 2.03(d) and (ii) of any Competitive Bid Quote that is in
accordance with Section 2.03(d) and amends, modifies or is otherwise
inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Lender with
respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent
Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent
Competitive Bid Quote specifically states that it is submitted solely to correct
a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Agent's notice to the
Borrower shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid 


                                       26

<PAGE>


Loans for which offers have been received and the respective principal amounts
and interest rates so offered.

      (f) ACCEPTANCE AND NOTICE BY BORROWER. Subject to the receipt of the
notice from the Agent referred to in Section 2.03(e), not later than 10:00 a.m.
(Chicago time) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date
(or such other time or date as the Borrower and the Agent shall have mutually
agreed upon), the Borrower shall notify the Agent of the Borrower's acceptance
or rejection of the offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.03(e);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure by the Borrower to give such notice to the
Agent shall be deemed to be a rejection by the Borrower of all such offers. In
the case of acceptance, such notice (a "Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice") shall
specify the aggregate principal amount of offers that are accepted. The Borrower
may accept or reject any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (subject to
the terms of Section 2.03(d)(ii)(C)); PROVIDED THAT:

            (i)   the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance
                  may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related
                  Competitive Bid Quote Request;

            (ii)  the principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance must be
                  at least $10,000,000 (and an integral multiple of $1,000,000
                  if in excess thereof);

            (iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of
                  ascending interest rates; and

            (iv)  the Borrower may not accept any offer of the type described in
                  Section 2.03(d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with
                  the requirements of this Agreement in respect of obtaining a
                  Competitive Bid Loan under this Agreement.

      (g) ALLOCATION BY THE AGENT. If offers are made by two or more Lenders
with the same interest rates for a greater aggregate principal amount than the
amount in respect of which offers are permitted to be accepted, the principal
amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted
shall be allocated by the Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in
such multiples as the Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate
principal amount of such offers; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Lender shall be
allocated a portion of any Competitive Bid Advance which is less than the
minimum amount which such Lender has indicated that it is willing to accept.
Allocations by the Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Agent shall promptly, but in
any event by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the same Business Day, notify each
Lender of its receipt of a Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice and the aggregate
principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance allocated to each participating
Lender.

      (h) ADMINISTRATION FEE. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Agent an
administration fee of $2,500 per Competitive Bid Quote Request transmitted by
the Borrower to the Agent 


                                       27

<PAGE>


pursuant to Section 2.03(b). Such administration fee shall be payable in arrears
on each Monthly Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility A Termination Date
(or such earlier date on which the Aggregate Facility A Commitment shall
terminate or be canceled) for any period then ending for which such
administration fee, if any, shall not have been theretofore paid.

      SECTION 2.04. SWING LINE LOANS. In addition to Advances pursuant to
Sections 2.01 and 2.03, but subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (including but not limited to those limitations set forth in Section
2.01 and 2.03), the Swing Line Bank agrees to make the Swing Line Loans to the
Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.04 up to the amount of the Swing Line
Commitment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the aggregate amount of the Swing Line
Bank's ratable Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 and Swing Line Loans
outstanding (after giving effect to any concurrent repayment of Loans) at such
time shall not exceed the Swing Line Bank's Facility A Commitment. Amounts
borrowed under this Section 2.04 may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed to, but
not including, the Facility A Termination Date. All outstanding Swing Line Loans
shall bear interest at the Floating Rate.

      (a) SWING LINE REQUEST. The Borrower may request a Swing Line Loan from
the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day before the Facility A Termination Date
by giving the Agent and the Swing Line Bank notice by 12:00 noon (Chicago time)
on such Borrowing Date specifying the aggregate amount of such Swing Line Loan,
which shall be an amount not less than $500,000. The Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of such request.

      (b) MAKING OF SWING LINE LOANS. The Swing Line Bank shall, no later than
2:00 p.m. on such Borrowing Date, make the funds for such Swing Line Loan
available to the Borrower at the Agent's address, or at such other place as
indicated in written money transfer instructions from the Borrower, signed by an
Authorized Officer.

      (c) SWING LINE NOTES. The Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by the Swing
Line Note and each Swing Line Loan shall be paid in full by the Borrower on or
before the earlier of the fifth Business Day after the Borrowing Date for such
Swing Line Loan or the Facility A Termination Date.

      (d) REPAYMENT OF SWING LINE LOANS. The Borrower may at any time pay,
without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or, in a minimum
amount of $500,000, any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans upon notice
to the Agent and the Swing Line Bank. In addition, the Agent: (i) may at any
time in its sole discretion or (ii) shall on the fifth Business Day after the
Borrowing Date for such Swing Line Loan, require the Lenders (including the
Swing Line Bank) to make a Facility A Advance at the Floating Rate plus the
Applicable Margin in an amount up to the amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding
on such date for the purpose of repaying Swing Line Loans; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the obligation of each Lender to make any such Advance is subject to the
condition that the Swing Line Bank believed in good faith that all conditions
under Section 5.02 were satisfied at the time the Swing Line Loan was made. If
the Swing Line Bank receives notice from any Lender that a condition under
Section 5.02 has not been satisfied, no Swing 


                                       28

<PAGE>


Line Loans shall be made until (a) such notice is withdrawn by that Lender or
(b) the Required Lenders have waived satisfaction of any such condition. The
Lenders shall deliver the proceeds of such Advance to the Agent by 12:00 noon
(Chicago time) on the applicable Borrowing Date for application to the Swing
Line Bank's outstanding Swing Line Loans. Subject to the proviso contained in
the second sentence of this Section 2.04(d), each Lender's obligation to make
available its Pro Rata Share of the Facility A Advance referred to in this
Section shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstances, including without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing
Line Bank, or anyone else, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of
Default or Unmatured Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or (iv) any Event whatsoever. If for
any reason a Lender does not make available its Pro Rata Share of the foregoing
Advance, such Lender shall be deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from the Swing Line Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in each Swing Line Loan then being repaid, equal to
its Pro Rata Share of all such Swing Line Loans being repaid, so long as such
purchase would not cause such Lender to exceed its Facility A Commitment. If any
portion of any amount paid (or deemed paid) to the Agent is recovered by or on
behalf of the Borrower from the Agent in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of
the amount so recovered shall be shared ratably among all Lenders in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

      SECTION 2.05. OPTIONAL PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. The Borrower may from time to
time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances,
or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000 or any integral multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Floating Rate
Advances upon one Business Day's prior notice to the Agent. A Fixed Rate Advance
may not be paid prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

      SECTION 2.06. FACILITY FEE AND REDUCTION OF FACILITY A COMMITMENTS.

      (a The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender
a Facility Fee per annum on the amount of such Lender's Facility A Commitment
from the Closing Date to and including the Facility A Termination Date, payable
in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter and on the Facility A
Termination Date. Such Facility Fee shall be determined on the first day of each
fiscal quarter in accordance with the pricing grid set forth as Exhibit "K"
hereto.

      (b The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Facility A Commitment
in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders in integral multiples of
$5,000,000, upon at least three Business Days' written notice to the Agent,
which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the amount of the Aggregate Facility A Commitment may not be reduced below
the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances, Facility Letter of
Credit Obligations and Swing Line Loans. All accrued Facility Fees under this
Section 2.06 shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the
obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder. The fees payable under this
Section 2.06, once paid, shall not be refundable for any reason.

      SECTION 2.07. METHOD OF BORROWING. Not later than noon (Chicago time) on
each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in
funds immediately available in Chicago to the Agent at its address specified
pursuant to Section 13.01. The Agent will make the funds so received from the
Lenders available to the Borrower by deposit into Account No. 5801117 maintained
by the Borrower at First Chicago.

      SECTION 2.08. METHOD OF SELECTING TYPES AND INTEREST PERIODS FOR ADVANCES.

      (a The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each
Fixed Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each Advance from time to
time. The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a "Borrowing
Notice") not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the Borrowing Date for each
Floating Rate Advance and prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date which
is two Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Fixed Rate Advance,
specifying:

         (i0   the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such
      Advance,

        (ii0   the aggregate amount of such Advance,

        (iii0  the Type of Advance selected, and

        (iv0   in the case of each Fixed Rate Advance, the Interest Period
      applicable thereto.

The Borrower shall be entitled to obtain only one Advance in any single Business
Day, which may be comprised in whole or in part of any Fixed Rate Advance.
Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a
Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the
Floating Rate. Each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including
the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including)
the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as
applicable to such Fixed Rate Advance. The Borrower shall select Interest
Periods with respect to Fixed Rate Advances so that it is not necessary to repay
a Fixed Rate Advance prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period in
order to make any mandatory payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.02
above or to repay the Obligations in full on the Maturity Date.

      (b  Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower and, in respect of the borrowing specified in the Borrowing Notice, the
Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense incurred by
that Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill the applicable conditions set
forth in Section 5.02 on or before the proposed Borrowing Date specified in the
Borrowing Notice, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of
profit) or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund the Loan to be made by
that Lender as part of that borrowing when that Loan, as a result of that
failure, is not made on that date.

      SECTION 2.09. METHOD OF SELECTING TYPES AND INTEREST PERIODS FOR .
                    CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION OF ADVANCES.

      (a RIGHT TO CONVERT. The Borrower may elect from time to time, subject to
the provisions of Section 2.09(c), to convert all or any part of a Committed
Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; PROVIDED that any
conversion of any Fixed Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

      (b AUTOMATIC CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION. Floating Rate Advances shall
continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances
are converted into Fixed Rate Advances. Fixed Rate Advances of any Type shall
continue as Fixed Rate Advances of such Type until the end of the then
applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Fixed Rate Advance shall
be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrower
shall have given the Agent notice in accordance with Section 2.09(d) requesting
that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Fixed Rate Advance either
continue as a Fixed Rate Advance of such Type for the same or another Interest
Period or be converted into a Committed Advance of another Type.

      (c NO CONVERSION IN CASE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR UNMATURED DEFAULT.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.09(a) or
2.09(b), no Advance may be converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Advance
(except with the consent of the Required Lenders) when any Event of Default or
Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing.

      (d CONVERSION/CONTINUATION NOTICE. The Borrower shall give the Agent
irrevocable notice (a "Conversion/Continuation Notice") of each conversion of a
Committed Advance or continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance not later than 10:00
a.m. (Chicago time) on the day of any conversion into a Floating Rate Advance or
prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date which is two Business Days prior
to the date of the requested conversion into or continuation of a Fixed Rate
Advance, specifying:

         (i0    the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such
      conversion or continuation;

         (ii0   the amount and Type of the Advance to be converted or continued;
      and

         (iii0  the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is
      to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or
      continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance, the duration of the Interest Period
      applicable thereto.

      SECTION 2.10. MINIMUM AMOUNT OF EACH ADVANCE. Each Fixed Rate Advance
shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in
excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance shall be in the minimum amount
of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused
Aggregate Facility A Commitment.

      SECTION 2.11. RATE AFTER MATURITY. Except as provided in the next
sentence, any Advance which is not paid at maturity for such Advance, whether by
acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per
annum equal to the Floating Rate plus 5% per annum. In the case of a Fixed Rate
Advance the maturity of which is accelerated, such Fixed Rate Advance shall bear
interest at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 5% per
annum for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period, and thereafter at the
Floating Rate plus 5% per annum.

      SECTION 2.12. METHOD OF PAYMENT. All payments of principal, interest, and
fees hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in
immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent's address specified
pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent
specified in writing by the Agent to the Borrower, by 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time)
on the date when due and unless the Borrower had directed that such payment be
applied to outstanding Swing Line Loans, shall be made ratably by the Agent
among (i) the Lenders with respect to their Committed Loans and (ii) the Lenders
which have made Competitive Bid Loans in response to the same Competitive Bid
Rate Request. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender
shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of
funds which the Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII
or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from
such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge any account of the
Borrower maintained with First Chicago for each payment of principal, interest
and fees as it becomes due hereunder. The Agent shall endeavor in good faith to
provide telephonic notice to Borrower prior to any such charge, but the Agent
shall not be liable to Borrower or any other Person if Agent fails to provide
any such notice. If and to the extent payment owed to any Lender is not made by
the Borrower to the Agent or that Lender, as the case may be, when due hereunder
or under the Note held by that Lender, the Borrower further authorizes such
Lender to charge from time to time against any or all of the accounts maintained
by the Borrower with the Lender, its subsidiaries, affiliates or branches any
amount so due, subject to the provisions of Article XI.

      SECTION 2.13. COMMITTED A NOTES; TELEPHONIC NOTICES. Each Lender is hereby
authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each
repayment on the schedule attached to its applicable Committed A Notes;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower's
obligations under any such Committed A Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the
Swing Line Bank to extend Swing Line Loans, Lenders and the Agent to extend,
convert or continue Committed Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances
and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons
the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the
Borrower. All actions taken by the Lenders and the Agent upon such telephonic
notices are hereby approved by the Borrower, and the Lenders and the Agent shall
incur no liability as a result of any such actions. The Borrower agrees to
deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is
requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an
Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect
from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and
the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

      SECTION 2.14. INTEREST PAYMENT DATES; INTEREST AND FEE BASIS. Interest
accrued on each Swing Line Loan and Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on
each Monthly Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the date hereof, on any date on which the Swing Line Loan or Floating Rate Loan
is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and on the Facility A
Termination Date. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal
amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Fixed Rate Advance on a day
other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion.
Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance shall be payable on the last day of
its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Fixed Rate Advance is
prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued
on each Fixed Rate Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months
shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such
Interest Period. Interest on Floating Rate Loans and Facility Fees shall be
calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year; interest on
Fixed Rate Loans shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Committed Advance or a
Swing Line Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if
payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at the place of payment.
If any payment of principal of or interest on a Committed Advance or a Swing
Line Loan shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a
principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing
interest in connection with such payment.

      SECTION 2.15. NOTIFICATION OF ADVANCES, INTEREST RATES, PREPAYMENTS AND 
                    COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS.
Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the
contents of each Aggregate Facility A Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing
Notice, Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, Letter
of Credit Request, Issuance Notice, notice from a Lender pursuant to Section
2.17(e)(i) and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Agent will notify
each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Advance promptly
upon determination of such interest rate.

      SECTION 2.16. LENDING INSTALLATIONS. Each Lender may book its Loans and
participation in Facility Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation selected
by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All
terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the
Committed A Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such
Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the Agent
and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be
made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

Facility Letter of Credit (and in any such case, such Issuer shall promptly
notify the Agent and the Borrower of such fact).

      (c    PROCEDURE FOR ISSUANCE.

            (i0 The Borrower shall give an Issuer at least three Business Days'
prior written notice of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit
under this Agreement (a "Letter of Credit Request"). Such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify:

            (A)   the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested
                  (which stated amount shall not be less than $1,000,000),
                  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that up to five Facility Letters of Credit
                  issued in any twelve-month period may have a stated amount of
                  less than $1,000,000 each;

            (B)   the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of
                  issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit (the
                  "Issuance Date");

            (C)   the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is
                  to expire (which date shall be a Business Day and shall comply
                  with the provisions of Section 2.17(b)(iii));

            (D)   the name of the Issuer chosen by the Borrower to issue the
                  requested Facility Letter of Credit;

            (E)   the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be
                  issued; and

            (F)   the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of
                  Credit is to be issued.

At the time the Letter of Credit Request is made, the Borrower shall also
provide the Agent and the Issuer with a copy of the form (if specified by the
beneficiary) of the Facility Letter of Credit it is requesting be issued. Such
Letter of Credit Request, to be effective, must be received by such Issuer and
the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the last Business Day on
which a Letter of Credit Request can be given under this Section 2.17(c)(i).

            (ii0 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.17 and
provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02
hereof have been satisfied, such Issuer shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a
Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the
Issuer's usual and customary business practices unless the Issuer has actually
received (a) written notice from the Borrower specifically revoking the Letter
of Credit Request with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit, (b) written
notice from a Lender, which complies with the provisions of Section 2.17(e)(i)
or (c) written or telephonic notice from the Agent stating that the issuance of
such Facility Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.17(b).

            (iii0 Each Issuer shall give the Agent and the Borrower written or
telex notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of
the issuance of a Facility Letter of 


                                       35

<PAGE>


Credit (the "Issuance Notice"), together with (for the Borrower and the Agent) a
copy of such Facility Letter of Credit.

            (iv0 An Issuer shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of
Credit or allow a Facility Letter of Credit to be automatically extended unless
the requirements of this Section 2.17(c) are met as though a new Facility Letter
of Credit was being requested and issued.

      (d    PAYMENT OF REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS; DUTIES OF ISSUERS.

            (i0 (A) Each Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent
of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall reimburse
such Issuer in accordance with Section 2.17(f), and (B) any Reimbursement
Obligation with respect to any Facility Letter of Credit shall bear interest
from the date of the relevant drawings under the pertinent Facility Letter of
Credit until payment in full is received by the pertinent Issuer at (X) the
Floating Rate until the next succeeding Business Day and (Y) the Floating Rate
plus 2% thereafter.

            (ii0 Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuer under or
in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the
absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not (A) put
that Issuer under any resulting liability to any Lender or (B) assuming that
such Issuer has complied with the procedures specified in Section 2.17(c), all
conditions to the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit have been satisfied
and any such Lender has not given a notice contemplated by Section 2.17(e)(i)
that continues in full force and effect, relieve any such Lender of its
obligations hereunder to that Issuer. In determining whether to pay under any
Facility Letter of Credit, an Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the
Lenders or to the Borrower other than to confirm that any documents required to
be delivered under such Facility Letter of Credit have been delivered in
compliance and that they comply on their face (including that any draw request
has been purportedly executed by an authorized signatory, if and to the extent
such a requirement is specified in the related Facility Letter of Credit), with
the requirements of such Facility Letter of Credit.

            (iii0 The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuer the amount of all
Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to such Issuer
under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit immediately when due
(and in any event shall reimburse an Issuer for drawings under a Facility Letter
of Credit issued by it no later than the next Business Day after payment by that
Issuer), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the
Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any Issuer or any other
Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation, any of the
following circumstances:

            (A)   any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
                  any of the other Loan Documents;

            (B)   the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right
                  which the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time
                  against a beneficiary named in a


                                       36

<PAGE>


                  Facility Letter of Credit or, if such Facility Letter of
                  Credit is transferable, any transferee of any Facility Letter
                  of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be
                  acting), the Agent, the Issuer, any Lender, or any other
                  Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any
                  Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated
                  herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying
                  transactions between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and the
                  beneficiary named in any Facility Letter of Credit);

            (C)   any draft, certificate or any other document presented under
                  the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent
                  or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being
                  untrue or inaccurate in any respect (except to the extent any
                  such invalidity or insufficiency is found in a final judgment
                  of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the
                  gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuer);

            (D)   the surrender or impairment of any guaranty or security for
                  the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of
                  the Loan Documents; or

            (E)   the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Default.

            (iv0 As among the Borrower, the Issuers, the Agent and the Lenders,
the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the
Facility Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Facility
Letters of Credit (except such as are found in a final judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of an Issuer). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
the Issuers, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible (absent gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith, as determined by the
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) for (A) the forms,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of
any Facility Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or
all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Facility Letter of Credit or the rights or
benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to
be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a
Facility Letter of Credit to comply fully with underlying conditions required in
order to draw upon such Facility Letter of Credit, so long as such beneficiary
has presented the appropriate documentation required to draw upon such Facility
Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission
or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (E)
errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) misapplication by the
beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under
such Facility Letter of Credit; (G) any consequences arising from causes beyond
the control of any Issuer, the Agent or any Lender.

      (e    PARTICIPATION.

            (i0 Immediately upon issuance by an Issuer of any Facility Letter of
Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(c) each
Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and
received from the Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest
and participation equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Facility Letter of Credit
(including, without limitation, all rights and obligations of the Issuer with
respect thereto) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto;
PROVIDED, that a Letter of Credit issued by any Issuer shall not be deemed to be
a Facility Letter of Credit for purposes of this Agreement if the Agent and such
Issuer shall have received written notice from any Lender on or before the
Business Day prior to the date of its issuance of such Letter of Credit that one
or more of the conditions contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 is not then
satisfied, and, in the event an Issuer receives such a notice, it shall have no
further obligation to issue any Facility Letter of Credit until such notice is
withdrawn by that Lender or it receives a notice from the Agent that such
condition has been effectively waived in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement.

            (ii0 In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any
Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to
such Issuer pursuant to Section 2.17(d), such Issuer shall promptly notify the
Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender, of such failure, and each Lender
shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent for the account of such
Issuer the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of
any such payment. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent its
Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve
any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent its
Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such
payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to make available to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of the
unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made.

            (iii0 Whenever an Issuer receives a payment on account of a
Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, it shall promptly pay
to the Agent and the Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender which has funded
its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount
equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof.

            (iv0 Upon the request of the Agent or any Lender, an Issuer shall
furnish to such Agent or Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which
that Issuer is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested
by the Agent or Lender.

            (v0 The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Agent for
the account of an Issuer with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim,
set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.


                                       38

<PAGE>


            (vi0 In the event any payment by the Borrower received by an Issuer
with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Agent to the
Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or
recovered from that Issuer in connection with any receivership, liquidation,
reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received such
distribution shall, upon demand by that Issuer, contribute such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest
at the rate required to be paid by that Issuer upon the amount required to be
repaid by it.

      (f    COMPENSATION FOR FACILITY LETTERS OF CREDIT.

            (i0 The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of
the Lenders, based upon the Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee with
respect to each Facility Letter of Credit that is for the period from the
Issuance Date thereof to and including the final expiration date thereof, in a
per annum amount equal to the product of (x) the average daily undrawn amount of
such Facility Letter of Credit times (y) the Facility Letter of Credit Fee
percentage shown in the pricing grid set forth in Exhibit "K" hereto. The
Facility Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Monthly Payment Date and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid,
on the Facility A Termination Date. The Agent shall promptly remit such Facility
Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their
Pro Rata Shares thereof.

            (ii0 Each Issuer shall have the right to receive, solely for its own
account, an issuing fee equal to the product of (x) 12.5 basis points times (y)
the amount of each Facility Letter of Credit, and other customary and
competitive fees agreed to between the Borrower and the Issuer with respect to
any Facility Letter of Credit which it issued. In addition, each Issuer shall be
entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs of issuing and servicing
Facility Letters of Credit.

      (g    LETTER OF CREDIT COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. From and after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower hereby agrees
that it will, until the Facility A Termination Date, maintain a special
collateral account (the "Letter of Credit Collateral Account") at the Agent's
office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of the
Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, for the benefit
of the Lenders, and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as
set forth in Section 9.03. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower hereby
grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders as security for repayment of
the Obligations, a security interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account and any funds that may hereafter be on deposit in such account pursuant
to Section 9.02.

      SECTION 2.18. NON-RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE AGENT. Unless the Borrower or a
Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is
scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the
proceeds of a Loan or the unreimbursed amount of any payment required pursuant
to Section 2.17(e)(ii), (ii) in the case of an Issuer, payment of any
Reimbursement Obligation received from the Borrower, or (iii) in the case of the
Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account
of the Lenders or an Issuer, that it does not intend to make such payment, the
Agent may assume that such payment has been made. 


                                       39

<PAGE>


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

      SECTION 2.19. WITHOLDING TAX EXEMPTION. At least five Business Days prior
to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the
account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of
the United States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to
each of the Borrower and the Agent two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, certifying in either case that such
Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each
Lender which so delivers a Form 1001 or 4224 further undertakes to deliver to
each of the Borrower and the Agent two additional copies of such form (or a
successor form) on or before the date that such form expires (currently, three
successive calendar years for Form 1001 and one calendar year for Form 4224) or
becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions
or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent,
in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under
this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any
change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any
such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and
delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower
and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction
or withholding of United States federal income tax.

      SECTION 2.20. UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENTS. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall make all payments hereunder, under
the Notes and under all of the other Loan Documents regardless of any defense or
counterclaim, including any defense or counterclaim based on any law, rule or
policy which is now or hereafter promulgated by any governmental authority or
regulatory body and which may adversely affect the Borrower's obligations to
make, or the right of the holder of any Note to receive, those payments.

      SECTION 2.21. COMPENSATION BALANCES. First Chicago shall have the right
(but no obligation) to enter into a separate agreement with the Borrower which
provides for the reduction of the interest rate payable to First Chicago
hereunder in the event that the Borrower maintains collected balances in
non-interest bearing accounts at First Chicago, but in no event shall such
agreement affect the amounts payable under this Agreement to any other Lender.
Similarly, each 


                                       40

<PAGE>


other Lender shall have the right (but no obligation) to enter into a separate
agreement with the Borrower which provides for the rebate to Borrower of a
portion of the interest paid to such Lender under this Agreement in the event
that the Borrower maintains collected balances in non-interest bearing accounts
at such Lender, but in no event shall any such agreement affect the amounts
payable under this Agreement to such Lender.

                                   ARTICLE III

                             CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

      SECTION 3.01. YIELD-PROTECTION. If the adoption, on or after the
Agreement Date, of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of
law), or any change, on or after the Agreement Date, in interpretation thereof,
or the compliance of any Lender (which term, for purposes of this Article III,
shall be deemed to include such Issuer in such capacity) therewith,

         (i0 subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any
      tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the Borrower
      (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of any Lender or
      applicable Lending Installation), or changes the basis of taxation of
      payments to any Lender in respect of its Loans or other amounts due it
      hereunder, or

        (ii0 imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
      insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets
      of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender
      or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and
      assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable
      to Fixed Rate Advances), or

       (iii0 imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the
      cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making,
      funding or maintaining loans (or letters of credit or participations
      therein) or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable
      Lending Installation in connection with loans (or letters of credit or
      participations therein), or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending
      Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of
      loans (or letters of credit or participations therein) held or interest
      received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such
Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount
received which such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and
maintaining its Loans, Facility Letters of Credit (or participations therein)
and its Facility A Commitment (provided, that the foregoing shall not include
any amounts which First Chicago certifies are reflected in an increase of the
Corporate Base Rate for the relevant period).


                                       41

<PAGE>


      SECTION 3.02. CHANGES IN CAPITAL ADEQUACY REGULATIONS. If a Lender
reasonably determines the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change, and
such increase will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender's capital as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a
level below that which such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be,
could have achieved but for such Change (taking into account such Lender's or
such corporation's policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital
adequacy and any payments made to such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 which
relate to capital adequacy and assuming that such Lender's capital was fully
utilized prior to such Change), then within 15 days of demand by such Lender,
the Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of such Lender, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.02 it shall promptly notify the Company through the Agent of the event
by reason of which it has become so entitled, but in any event within 90 days,
after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; PROVIDED that if such Lender
fails to give such notice within the 90-day period after it obtains actual
knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to such compensation
in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment
for costs incurred from and after the date 90 days prior to the date that such
Lender does give such notice. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail
the computation of any additional amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.01,
submitted by such Lender to the Company through the Agent, shall be delivered to
the Company promptly after the initial incurrence of such additional amounts.
"Change" means (i) any change after the Agreement Date in the Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this
Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation
controlling any Lender or any Lending Institution. "Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines" means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United
States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the
corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside
the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on
Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence
of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards," including transition rules, and
any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

      SECTION 3.03. AVAILABILITY OF TYPES OF ADVANCES. If any Lender determines
that maintenance of its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation
would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not
having the force of law, or if the Agent determines that (i) deposits of a type
and maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances are not available or
(ii) the interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately
reflect the cost of making or maintaining such Advance, then the Agent shall
suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any Fixed
Rate Advances of the affected Type to be repaid or to be converted (in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement) to any Type of Advance which is not
affected and is then available under this Agreement.


                                       42

<PAGE>


      SECTION 3.04. FUNDING INDEMNIFICATION. If any payment of a Fixed Rate
Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest
Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Fixed
Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason
other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for
any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without
limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to
fund or maintain the Fixed Rate Advance.

      SECTION 3.05. LENDER STATEMENTS; SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITY.To the extent
reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending
Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the
Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 or to avoid the
unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 3.03, so long as such
designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a
written statement of such Lender as to the amount due, if any, under Sections
3.01, 3.02 or 3.04. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail
the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be
final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed
Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan
through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the
deposit used as a reference in determining the Fixed Rate applicable to such
Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand after
receipt by the Borrower of the written statement. The obligations of the
Borrower under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.04 shall survive payment of the
Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

      SECTION 4.03. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

all material respects, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the
rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and (B) the pro forma adjustments have been properly applied on the
bases described therein and the assumptions used in the preparation of the Pro
Forma Financial Information are reasonable and appropriate to give effect to the
transactions or circumstances referred to therein.

ordinary course of business or pursuant to the Reorganization, (ii) to be
transferred or conveyed to LLP or a Subsidiary of LLP pursuant to the LLP

<PAGE>


on the balance sheet and related notes and schedules most recently delivered by
the Borrower to the Lenders (the "Recent Balance Sheet") or acquired by it after
the date of that balance sheet and prior to the date hereof, except (x) for
those properties and assets which have been disposed of since the date of the
Recent Balance Sheet or pursuant to the Reorganization or which no longer are
used or useful in the conduct of its business and (y) that good and marketable
fee title, or title insurable by a reputable and nationally recognized title
insurance company, to certain of the properties located in Arizona listed in
Schedule III is held by the Persons and in the manner described in Schedule III
hereto. All such Real Estate and other assets owned by the Borrower (including
the properties referred to in clause (y) above) are free and clear of all
Mortgages, pledges, liens, charges and other encumbrances, except (i) in the
case of Real Estate, as reflected on title insurance policies insuring the
interest of the Borrower in the Real Estate or in title insurance binders issued
with respect to the Real Estate (some of which title insurance binders have
expired but were valid at the time of acquisition of the relevant Real Estate),
(ii) as reflected in the Recent Balance Sheet, and none of those Mortgages,
pledges, liens, charges or other encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate,
prevents or has a Material Adverse Effect upon the use by the Borrower of any of
their respective properties or assets as currently conducted or as planned for
the future.

      SECTION 4.06. LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
arbitration, inquiry or investigation (whether or not purportedly on behalf of
the Borrower) pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
against or affecting the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower is not in
default with respect to any final judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule or
regulation of any court or federal, state, municipal or other governmental
department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or
foreign, which default would or could have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Borrower. The Borrower has no material contingent obligations not provided for

December 31, 1997, included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements.

      SECTION 4.07. PAYMENT OF TAXES. There have been filed all federal, state
and local tax returns with respect to the operations of the Borrower which are
required to be filed, except where extensions of time to make those filings have

authorities all taxes as shown on those returns and on any assessment received
by any of them, to the extent that those taxes have become due, except for taxes
the failure to pay which do not violate the provisions of Section 6.03 hereof.
The Internal Revenue Service has completed an examination of the Company's
federal income tax returns for the years ended 1980 through 1994, and Borrower
has paid all additional taxes, assessments, interest and penalties with respect
to such years.

      SECTION 4.08. AGREEMENTS. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a
party to any agreement, other than the Spin-Off Agreement, the Merger Agreement
or the LLP Partnership Agreement, or instrument or is subject to any charter or
other restriction that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on it. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in


                                       46

<PAGE>


material default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the
obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any material agreement or
instrument to which it is a party, including, without limitation, the
Reorganization Documents, and consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and in the other Loan Documents will not cause any Borrower to be in
material default thereof.

      SECTION 4.09. FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT REGULATIONS. Neither the making of
the Facility A Advances nor the repayment thereof nor any other transaction
contemplated hereby will involve or constitute a violation by the Borrower of
any provision of the Foreign Direct Investment Regulations of the United States
Department of Commerce or of any license, ruling, order, or direction of the
Secretary of Commerce thereunder.

      SECTION 4.10. FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS.

Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) constitutes less than 25% of those
assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation
on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder.

      (b) No part of the proceeds of any of the Advances will be used to
purchase or carry any such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. If requested by the
Lenders, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lenders a statement in conformity
with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-l referred to in Regulation U of
said Board of Governors. No part of the proceeds of the Advances will be used
for any purpose that violates, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of
Regulation X of said Board of Governors.

      SECTION 4.11. CONSENTS, ETC. Except as set forth on Schedule IV, no order,
license, consent, approval, authorization of, or registration, declaration,
recording or filing (except for the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K, and
a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in each case with the Securities and Exchange
Commission) with, or validation of, or exemption by, any governmental or public
authority (whether federal, state or local, domestic or foreign) or any
subdivision thereof is required in connection with, or as a condition precedent
to, the due and valid execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this
Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, or the legality, validity,
binding effect or enforceability of any of the respective terms, provisions or
conditions thereof. To the extent that any franchises, licenses, certificates,
authorizations, approvals or consents from any federal, state or local (domestic
or foreign) government, commission, bureau or agency are required for the
acquisition, ownership, operation or maintenance by the Borrower of properties
now owned, operated or maintained by it, those franchises, licenses,
certificates, authorizations, approvals and consents have been validly granted,
are in full force and effect and constitute valid and sufficient authorization
therefor.


                                       47

<PAGE>


      SECTION 4.12. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. The Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with and conform to all statutes, laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, restrictions and all other legal
requirements of all domestic or foreign governments or any instrumentality
thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or
the ownership of their respective properties, the violation of which would have
a Material Adverse Effect on it, including, without limitation, regulations of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Interstate
Land Sales Full Disclosure Act and the Florida Land Sales Act. Neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its
operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of
applicable Environmental Laws or any applicable federal, state and local health
and safety statutes and regulations or the subject of any federal or state
investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a
release of any Hazardous Substances into the environment, which non-compliance
or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

      SECTION 4.13. RELATIONSHIP OF THE BORROWER. The entities comprising the
Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors are engaged as an integrated group in the
business of owning, developing and selling Real Estate and of providing the
required services, credit and other facilities for those integrated operations.
The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors require financing on such a basis
that funds can be made available from time to time to such entities, to the
extent required for the continued successful operation of their integrated
operations. The Advances to be made to the Borrower and the Facility Letters of
Credit to be issued for the account of the Borrower under this Agreement are for
the purpose of financing the integrated operations of the Borrower and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, and each of the entities comprising the Borrower and the
Subsidiary Guarantors expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from
the Advances and Facility Letters of Credit, both individually and as a member
of the integrated group, since the financial success of the operations of each
Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors is dependent upon the continued
successful performance of the integrated group as a whole.

      SECTION 4.14. SUBSIDIARIES; JOINT VENTURES. Schedule V hereto contains a

such Joint Venture, (a) its jurisdiction of organization, (b) all other
jurisdictions in which it is qualified as a foreign entity and (c) all Persons
other than the Borrower that are parties thereto. All the outstanding shares of
Capital Stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, except as otherwise provided by state wage claim laws of general
applicability. All of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary
owned by the Company, Greystone or another Subsidiary as specified in Schedule V
are owned free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, equity or
other beneficial interests, charges and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever,
except for Permitted Liens. None of the entities comprising the Borrower owns of
record or beneficially any shares of the Capital Stock of any corporation (other
than Greystone, UAMC, AFSI, STI, the Title Companies, the Limited Purpose


                                       48

have been pledged to the Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreement) that is not a
Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor. None of the Marlborough Subsidiaries has
total assets with a fair market value of more than $100,000 in the aggregate.

      SECTION 4.15. ERISA. The Borrower is not executing or delivering any of
the Loan Documents or entering into any of the transactions contemplated hereby,
directly or indirectly, in connection with any arrangement or understanding in
any respect involving any "employee benefit plan" with respect to which the
Borrower is a "party in interest" within the meaning of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, or a "disqualified person", within the meaning of
the Internal Revenue Code 1986, as amended. No Unfunded Liabilities exist with
respect to any Single Employer Plans. Each Plan complies in all material
respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable
Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, neither the Borrower nor any other
members of the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps
to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan.

      SECTION 4.16. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. Neither the Borrower nor any
Subsidiary thereof is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.

      SECTION 4.17. PUBLICE UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY ACT. Neither the Borrower
nor any Subsidiary is a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company", or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary
company" of a "holding company", within the meaning of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

      SECTION 4.18. SUBORDINATED DEBT. The Obligations constitute senior
indebtedness which is entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions
of all outstanding Subordinated Debt.

      SECTION 4.19. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS. The present value of the expected
cost of post-retirement medical and insurance benefits payable by the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries to its employees and former employees, as estimated by the
Borrower in accordance with procedures and assumptions deemed reasonable by the

Agent; and obtain, prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this
Agreement, written acknowledgments from each Mortgage Banking Subsidiary that
the aggregate of all loans and advances hereafter made by the Company to such
Mortgage Banking Subsidiary shall be evidenced and governed by the Mortgage
Banking Subsidiaries Note held by Agent. At all times the principal amount of
the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note held by Agent must equal or exceed the
aggregate principal amount of all loans and advances made by the Company to
Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries, and upon the request of Agent (but no more

is less than the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, and (ii) the Borrower is not
in compliance with the Borrowing Base Limitation (without regard to the proviso

quarter, Borrower is in compliance with both the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio
and the Borrowing Base Limitation (without regard to the proviso contained in
Section 7.02(a)), the Maximum Leverage Ratio shall increase by ten (10)
percentage points (but not above 225% through November 30, 1999, and 200%

Indebtedness of LNR which exists on the Closing Date or $50,000,000, and (ii)

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   COLLATERAL

      SECTION 8.01. SECURITY FOR OBLIGATIONS. Upon the request of the Agent
(which may not be made without the prior written or telegraphic consent from the
Required Lenders and which shall be made upon the written or telegraphic request
of the Required Lenders), the Borrower shall grant the Agent, on behalf of the
Lenders, as security for the payment in full of all the Obligations, a first
lien and security interest in the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the
Borrower agrees that the security agreement relating to the Mortgage Banking
Subsidiaries Note shall require all principal payments payable under the
Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note to be made directly to the Agent and applied
to the principal outstanding under the Notes as required under Section 2.02.

      SECTION 8.02. COLLATERAL DOCUMENTATION. If and when the Borrower is
required to grant the Agent a security interest in the Mortgage Banking
Subsidiaries Note pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Agent:

        (i) a duly executed pledge and security agreement, in form and
      substance satisfactory to the Agent, granting the Agent on behalf of the
      Lenders, a first lien on, and security interest in, the Mortgage Banking
      Subsidiaries Note;

        (ii) an endorsement or allonge to the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries
      Note, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, transferring the
      Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders;
      and

        (iii) a written acknowledgment from the Company that the Agent holds the
      Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note as Collateral for the Obligations.

All the foregoing documents shall be delivered to the Agent on or before the
date that the Borrower is required to grant the Agent the security interest in
the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note. All


                                       68

<PAGE>


of the documentation and other items required under this Section 8.02 must be
fully satisfactory, both in form and substance, to the Agent. In addition to the
foregoing, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, execute and deliver
to the Agent such assignments, pledges, financing statements and other
documents, and cause to be done such further acts, all as the Agent from time to
time may deem necessary or appropriate to evidence, confirm, perfect or protect
any security interest required to be granted to the Agent hereunder.

      SECTION 8.03. POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THE
                    COLLATERAL

      (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the right
to deal with, manage and administer the Collateral and to collect and use the
proceeds thereof in such manner as it shall deem appropriate (subject to the
provisions of Section 2.02).

      (b) Unless the Borrower shall have been notified, pursuant to Section 9.03
hereof, that it has been discharged from its right to deal with, manage and
administer all items of the Collateral, the Borrower shall, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, manage and administer all the Collateral in such
manner as they shall deem appropriate, without charge to the Lenders; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Borrower shall remain fully responsible for all its
obligations as owner, creditor or otherwise with respect to the Collateral.

      SECTION 8.04. POWER OF ATTORNEY. With respect to the Collateral which the
Agent may from time to time hold and/or be entitled to obtain hereunder, the
Agent hereby is irrevocably appointed by the Borrower as Borrower's true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full power, from time to time upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to (i) take possession of and
endorse in Borrower's name any pledges, assignments and other documents and any
notes, checks, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders and any other documents
received in payment for or on account of those assets and properties, (ii) to
collect, sue for and give acquittance for moneys due on account of those assets
and properties, (ii) to withdraw any claims, suits or proceedings pertaining to
or arising out of those assets and properties. The foregoing appointment is with
full power of substitution and is coupled with an interest. The Agent shall not
be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the payment of any of those
assets and properties.

                                   ARTICLE IX

incurred in connection with any such Indebtedness or liabilities beyond any
applicable period of grace, or default shall be made with respect to any other
liability of $100,000 or more, if the effect of any such default is to
accelerate the maturity of such Indebtedness or liability or to cause any other
liability to become due prior to its stated maturity, or any such Indebtedness
or liability shall not be paid when due and such default shall not have been
remedied or cured by the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor or waived by the
obligor;

      (e) default shall be made in the due observance or performance of any of

effect, or file a petition or an answer seeking dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or a composition
of its debts or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
readjustment of debts, dissolution or liquidation law or statute or other
statute or law for the relief of debtors, or file any answer admitting the
material allegations of a 


                                       70

<PAGE>


petition filed against it in any proceeding under such law, or fail to file an
answer or other pleading denying the material allegations of any such proceeding
filed against it, or if corporate or other action shall be taken by the Borrower
or such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing,
or (vi) fail to contest in good faith any appointment or proceeding described in
Section 9.01(h);

      (h) an order, judgment, or decree shall be entered without the
application, approval, or consent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor by
any court of competent jurisdiction appointing a receiver, trustee or liquidator
of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or a proceeding described in Section

and such appointment shall continue undischarged or such proceeding continues
undismissed or unstayed for any period of 45 days;

      (i) final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $250,000 shall be
rendered against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and the same shall
remain undischarged for a period of 30 days during which execution shall not be
effectively stayed;

      (j) final judgment(s) for the payment of money in excess of an aggregate
of $250,000 shall be rendered against the Borrower (or any of them) or any
Subsidiary Guarantor after the Closing Date and shall remain undischarged and
unstayed for a period of ten days;

      (k) there shall occur any Event or Events which, individually or in the
aggregate, shall be deemed by the Required Lenders to have had a Material
Adverse Effect;

      (l) The Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be the subject of any
proceeding or investigation pertaining to the release by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person of any
Hazardous Substance into the environment, or any violation of any Environmental
Law or any federal, state or local health or safety law or regulation, which, in
either case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

      (m) The occurrence of any "default", as defined in any Facility A Loan
Document (other than this Agreement or the Notes) or the breach of any of the
terms or provisions of any Facility A Loan Document (other than this Agreement
or the Notes), which default or breach continues beyond any period of grace
therein provided;

      (n) An Event of Default (as such term is defined in the LLP Credit
Agreement) shall occur; or

      (o) An Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Facility B Credit
Agreement) shall occur.

      SECTION 9.02. ACCELERATION. If any Event of Default described in
subsection 9.01(g) or (h) occurs the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans
and of an Issuer to issue Facility Letters 


                                       71

<PAGE>


of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Facility A Obligations
shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the
part of the Agent or any Lender. If any other Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Required Lenders may terminate or suspend the obligations of the
Lenders to make Loans and of an Issuer to issue Facility Letters of Credit
hereunder, or declare the Facility A Obligations to be due and payable, or both,
whereupon the Facility A Obligations shall become immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the
Borrower hereby expressly waives. In addition to the foregoing following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, so long as any
Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been canceled or
expired by its terms, upon demand by the Agent the Borrower shall deposit in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the aggregate
undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and all fees
and other amounts due or which may become due with respect thereto. The Borrower
shall have no control over funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account,
which funds shall be invested by the Agent from time to time in its discretion
in certificates of deposit of First Chicago having a maturity not exceeding 30
days, so long as the Borrower has provided the Agent with such documents as the
Agent shall have requested in order to perfect a security interest in such
certificates of deposit. Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Agent to
reimburse any Issuer for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility
Letters of Credit. Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account following the payment of all Obligations in full shall,
unless the Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be
promptly paid over to the Borrower.

      If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Facility A
Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and
of an Issuer to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder as a result of any
Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in subsection
9.01 (g) or (h) with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree
for the payment of the Facility A Obligations due shall have been obtained or
entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the
Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration
and/or termination.

      SECTION 9.03. RIGHTS AS TO COLLATERAL

      (a) If, on the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall not have paid in full all
the Facility A Obligations which are due and payable on such Maturity Date, the
Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall take (and/or shall cause
one or more of its designees to take) any or all of the following actions, after
giving at least three Business Days' (which notice period the Borrower
acknowledges to be adequate and reasonable) written notice to the Borrower (a
single such notice being sufficient to entitle the Agent to take one or more of
the actions described below):

         (i) prohibit the Borrower from taking any action otherwise permitted by
      Section 8.03(a) hereof, and/or discharge the Borrower from their right to
      manage and administer the items of Collateral as provided in Section
      8.03(b) hereof;


                                       72

<PAGE>


        (ii) notify the obligors or other parties interested in any item of the
      Collateral of the interest of the Lenders therein and of any action
      proposed to be taken with respect thereto, and inform any of those parties
      that all payments otherwise payable to the Borrower with respect thereto
      thereafter shall be made to the Agent until all the Facility A Obligations
      have been paid in full;

        (iii) receive and retain all payments and all other distributions of any
      kind with respect to any and all of the Collateral;

        (iv) exercise any rights of voting or consent pertaining to any item of
      Collateral to the same extent as if the Agent were the outright owner
      thereof for the benefit of the Lenders, or cause any item of the
      Collateral to be transferred to its own name and have such transfer
      recorded in any place or places deemed appropriate by the Agent;

        (v) deal with the Collateral in all respects as if it were the outright
      owner thereof for the benefit of the Lenders;

        (vi) take such action as directed by the Required Lenders with respect
      to the sale, assignment and delivery of the whole of, or from time to time
      any one or more items of, the Collateral, including, without limitation:
      to sell, assign and deliver the whole of, or from time to time any part
      of, the Collateral at any broker's board or at any private sale or at
      public auction, with or without demand on the Borrower or advertisement of
      the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or otherwise, for cash,
      for credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery, and
      for such price or prices and on such terms as the Required Lenders in
      their discretion may determine, and the Agent or any of the other Lenders
      may bid for and purchase the whole or any one or more items of the
      Collateral so sold free from any right or equity of redemption; to adjourn
      any such sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time to a
      subsequent time and place announced at the time and place fixed for the
      sale; and to carry out any agreement to sell any item or items of
      Collateral in accordance with the terms of such agreement, notwithstanding
      that after the Agent shall have entered into such agreement, all the
      Facility A Obligations may have been paid in full; and

        (vii) in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any of the rights
      specified above, exercise any and all rights and remedies afforded to it,
      as a secured party in possession of collateral or otherwise, under any and
      all applicable provisions of laws.

      (b) The Agent, any Person designated by the Agent to take any of the
action as enumerated in subsection (a) above, any of the Lenders, and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and counsel shall not incur
any liability (other than for acts or omissions amounting to gross negligence or
willful misconduct) as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with the provisions
of subsection (a)(vi) above or of applicable law, or for the failure to sell or
offer for sale the Collateral, for any reason whatsoever. The Borrower waives
any claims (other than those attributable to acts or omissions amounting to
gross negligence or willful misconduct) against the Agent, any Person designated
by the Agent to 


                                       73

<PAGE>


take any action, the Lenders, and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents and counsel arising with respect to the price at which the
Collateral, or any part thereof, may have been sold or by reason of the fact
that such price was less than the aggregate of all the Obligations, PROVIDED
that all such sales have been effected in a commercially reasonable manner.

      (c) The Agent shall collect the cash proceeds received from any sale or
other disposition or from any other source contemplated by subsection (a) above
and, after deducting all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent, any person
designated by the Agent to take any of the actions enumerated in subsection (a)
above, and the Lenders (other than in connection with the purchase by any of the
Lenders of any item of the Collateral) in connection with such collection and
sale (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses),
shall apply the same in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04 below.
Noncash proceeds received by the Agent shall be held by it, unless and until
instructions are received from the Required Lenders to distribute those
proceeds. Upon any such distribution in the order set forth in Section 9.04
below, the Obligations shall be reduced by the fair market value of any such
noncash proceeds.

      (d) If the amount of all proceeds received in liquidation of the
Collateral which shall be applied to payment of the Obligations shall be
insufficient to pay all the Obligations in full, the Borrower acknowledges that
it shall continue to remain liable for any deficiency, together with any
interest thereon and costs of collection thereof (including reasonable counsel
fees and legal expenses), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
other Facility A Loan Documents and the Facility B Credit Agreement and the
other Facility B Loan Documents. The Agent shall account to the Borrower as to
all applications of the proceeds of the Collateral in reduction of the
Obligations.

      (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the provisions of this Section
9.03 shall confer on the Agent or any of the Lenders any rights or privileges
not permissible under applicable law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent the
Borrower may waive any provisions of applicable law which would or could be in
conflict with the terms of this Section 9.03, the Borrower hereby expressly
waives the application of any such laws and provisions.

      (f) In connection with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.03, the
Borrower from time to time promptly shall execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, to the Agent such reasonable documents and instruments,
and take or cause to be taken other reasonable and lawful action, as the Agent
reasonably shall deem necessary or desirable to enable it to exercise any of the
rights with respect to the Collateral granted to it pursuant to this Section
9.03.

      SECTION 9.04. APPLICATION OF FUNDS. In the event that all the Facility A
Obligations shall have become or been declared due and payable pursuant to the
terms of Section 9.02 hereof, the Lenders agree, by and among themselves (and,
with respect to subsection (f) below, with the Borrower), that any funds
received from or on behalf of the Borrower (pursuant to the provisions of
Section 9.03 or otherwise) by the Agent or any of the Lenders (except funds
retained by any Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 11.01 hereof) shall be
remitted to the Agent, if received by any 


                                       74

<PAGE>


Lender, and applied by the Agent (in the case of subsections (c), (d) and (e)
below), on a pro rata basis among the Lenders in accordance with their
respective percentages of the Loans outstanding at the time of such declaration
in the following manner and order:

      (a) first, to pay to or reimburse the Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses
for which it is entitled to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of
Section 13.03 hereof;

      (b) second, to reimburse any of the Lenders pursuant to the provisions of
Section 13.03 hereof;

      (c) third, to payment of accrued and unpaid interest due on the Notes;

      (d) fourth, to payment of the outstanding principal of the Notes;

      (e) fifth, to payment in full of all the remaining Obligations;

      (f) sixth, if any Facility Letter of Credit remains outstanding, the Agent
shall retain in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account an amount equal to the
aggregate face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit; and

      (g) seventh, any remainder, including any funds no longer required to
remain on deposit pursuant to subsection (f) of this section shall be returned
to the Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                    THE AGENT

      SECTION 10.01. APPOINTMENT. The First National Bank of Chicago is hereby
appointed Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document and, subject to the
provisions of Section 10.13 below, each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes
the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender. The Agent agrees to act as such
upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. The Agent shall not
have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender by reason of this
Agreement. NationsBank, N.A. is hereby appointed as Syndication Agent, Credit
Lyonnais Atlanta Agency is hereby appointed as Documentation Agent hereunder,
Bank of America National Trust & Savings Association and Comerica Bank are
hereby appointed as Managing Agents, and Fleet National Bank and Guaranty
Federal Bank, F.S.B. are hereby appointed as Co-Agents. Neither the Syndication
Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents nor the Co-Agents shall have
any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement in such capacity.

      SECTION 10.02. POWERS. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers
under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms
of each thereof, together 


                                       75

<PAGE>


with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no
implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any
action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents
to be taken by the Agent.

      SECTION 10.03. GENERAL IMMUNITY. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the
Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or
therewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

      SECTION 10.04. NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOANS. Neither the Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have
any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing
hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any
condition specified in Article V, except receipt of items required to be
delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness
(except its own due execution thereof) of any Loan Document or any other
instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. Further, the Agent
assumes no obligation to any other Lender as to the collectibility of any Loans
made by any Lender to the Borrower. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that the
Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it on or prior to the
date hereof and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any other Lender. Each
Lender acknowledges that it has taken and will take such action and make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the affairs and
creditworthiness of the Borrower.

      SECTION 10.05. EMPLOYMENT OF AGENTS AND COUNSEL. The Agent may execute any
of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through
employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the
Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized
agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its
duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

      SECTION 10.06. RELIANCE ON DOCUMENTS; COUNSEL. The Agent shall not be
under a duty to examine into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness or value of this Agreement, the Notes or any other document
furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith, and the Agent
shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and
what they purport to be. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or
document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal
matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be
employees of the Agent. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by it based on or in accordance with any of the
foregoing.


                                       76

<PAGE>


      SECTION 10.07. NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS. With respect to its Facility A
Commitment, Loans made and Facility Letters of Credit issued by it and the Notes
issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and
under any other Loan Document as any Lender or Issuer and may exercise the same
as though it was not the Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless
the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity.
The Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and issue letters of credit
for the account of, and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Borrower or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, trust, debt, equity
and other transactions) in addition to the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being expressly understood and agreed
that neither the Agent nor any other Lender shall be deemed by the execution
hereof to have waived any rights under any term loan or other agreement with the
Borrower relating to any other business or loans to the Borrower which are not a
part of the Aggregate Facility A Commitment under this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Lenders acknowledges and
consents to First Chicago acting as Agent under the Facility B Credit Agreement
and the LLP Credit Agreement and the other loan documents referred to in such
agreements.

      SECTION 10.08. KNOWLEDGE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. It is expressly understood
and agreed that the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default
or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of the
Agent active on the Borrower's account have actual knowledge of such occurrence
or have been notified by a Lender that such Lender considers that an Event of
Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the
nature thereof.

      SECTION 10.09. AGENT'S REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders
agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower
for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the
Facility A Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on
behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration and enforcement of the Facility A Loan Documents and (iii) for
any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating
to or arising out of the Facility A Loan Documents or any other document
delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or
the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents,
PROVIDED that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent
they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent.

      SECTION 10.10. NOTICES TO THE BORROWER. In each instance that a notice is
required, pursuant to the terms hereof, to be given by one or more of the
Lenders to the Borrower, the Lenders desiring that such notice be given shall so
advise the Agent (which advice, if given by telephone, shall be promptly
confirmed by telex or letter to the Agent at its address listed in the signature
pages hereto), which shall transmit such notice to the Borrower promptly after
its having been so advised by the appropriate number of Lenders; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that subject to the provisions of Section 10.14 hereof, if the Agent
shall fail to transmit such notice to the Borrower within a reasonable


                                       77

<PAGE>


period of time after its having been so advised by the appropriate number of
Lenders, the Lenders desiring that such notice be given may transmit such notice
directly to the Borrower and in all cases, notice to the Borrower shall be
deemed notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors.

      SECTION 10.11. ACTION ON INSTRUCTIONS OF LENDERS. The Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and
under any other Facility A Loan Document in accordance with written instructions
signed by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, and
such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes. Except where an
action or inaction is expressly required under this Agreement, the Agent shall
be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under
any other Facility A Loan Document or the Facility B Loan Documents unless it
shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders, pro rata in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, against any and all liability,
cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action.

      SECTION 10.12. LENDER CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and
based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility A Loan
Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the
other Facility A Loan Documents.

      SECTION 10.13. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE AGENT. If, at any time,
Lenders holding Notes having aggregate outstanding principal balances equal to
at least 75% of the then outstanding amount of the Aggregate Facility A
Commitment (excluding from such computation the Agent and its Notes) shall deem
it advisable, those Lenders may submit to the Agent notification by certified
mail, return receipt requested of its removal as Agent under this Agreement,
which removal shall be effective as of the date of receipt of such notice by the
Agent. If, at any time, the Agent shall deem it advisable, in its sole
discretion, it may submit to each of the Lenders written notification, by
certified mail, return receipt requested, of its resignation as Agent under this
Agreement, which resignation shall be effective as of 30 days after the date of
such notice. In the event of any such removal or resignation, the Required
Lenders may appoint a successor to the Agent. In the event the Agent shall have
resigned and/or have been removed and so long as no successor shall have been
appointed, the Borrower shall make all payments due each Lender hereunder
directly to that Lender and all powers specifically delegated to the Agent by
the terms hereof may be exercised by the Required Lenders. Upon the removal or
resignation of the Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After the removal
or resignation of the Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in
effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken
while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

      SECTION 10.14. BENEFITS OF ARTICLE X. None of the provisions of this
Article X shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower or of any Person other than
Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Accordingly, neither the Borrower nor any Person other than Agent and
the Lenders (and their respective successors and permitted assigns) shall be
entitled to rely upon, or to raise as a defense, the failure of the Agent or any
Lenders to comply with the provisions of this Article X.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

      SECTION 11.01. SETOFF. In addition to, and without limitation of, any
rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent,
however evidenced, or any Event of Default or Unmatured Default occurs, any
indebtedness from any Lender to the Borrower (including all account balances,
whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) may be
offset and applied toward the payment of the Facility A Obligations owing to
such Lender, whether or not the Facility A Obligations, or any part hereof,
shall then be due. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any
such set-off and application made by such Lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off
and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.01 are in
addition to any other rights and remedies which that Lender may have under this
Agreement or otherwise.

      SECTION 11.02. RATABLE PAYMENTS. If any Lender, whether by setoff or
otherwise, has payment made to it upon any of its Committed Loans or
participations in Facility Letters of Credit (other than payments received
pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04) in a greater proportion than that
received by any other Lender with respect to Committed Loans or participations
in Facility Letters of Credit, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to
purchase a portion of such Committed Loans or participations held by the other
Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of
all Committed Loans or participations in Facility Letters of Credit. If any
Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon any of its
Competitive Bid Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.01,
3.02 or 3.04) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender
with respect to Competitive Bid Loans having the same principal repayment terms
and made pursuant to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request, such Lender agrees,
promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of such Competitive Bid Loans held
by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender which has
Competitive Bid Loans made pursuant to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request
outstanding at the time of such payment will hold its ratable proportion of all
Competitive Bid Loans made pursuant to such Competitive Bid Quote Request then
outstanding, such ratable proportion to be determined solely by reference to all
such Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding. If any Lender, whether in
connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise,
receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts
which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to
take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such
collateral 


                                       79

<PAGE>


ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. In case any such
payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further
adjustments shall be made.

                                   ARTICLE XII

               BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

      SECTION 12.01. SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS. The terms and provisions
of the Facility A Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its
rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any
Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.03. Notwithstanding clause
(ii) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the
Borrower or the Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no
such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations
hereunder. The Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section 12.03 in
the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a
written notice of the transfer is filed with the Agent. Any assignee or
transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms
and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any
Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes
issued in exchange therefor. A Lender may not assign less than the lesser of its
Commitment or $10,000,000.

      SECTION 12.02. PARTICIPATIONS

      (a) PERMITTED PARTICIPANTS; EFFECT. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course
of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one
or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating interests in any
Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such
Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents; PROVIDED
that any such sale is accompanied by the assignment to the same Participant of a
Pro Rata Share of the selling Lender's interest under the Facility B Credit
Agreement and the other Facility B Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale
by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's
obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all
purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under
this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participating interests, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents.


                                       80

<PAGE>


      (b) VOTING RIGHTS. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve,
without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or
waiver with respect to any Loan, Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or
Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal,
interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to
any such Loan, Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or Commitment, postpones
any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest
or fees on, any such Loan or Commitment, releases any guarantor of any such
Loan, Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or releases any substantial portion
of collateral, if any, securing any such Loan or Facility Letter of Credit
Obligations.

      (c) BENEFIT OF SETOFF. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.01 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 setoff provided in Section 11.01 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 setoff
provided in Section 11.01, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received
pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in
accordance with Section 11.02 as if each Participant were a Lender.

      SETION 12.03. ASSIGNMENTS

      (a) PERMITTED ASSIGNMENTS. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or
more banks or other entities ("Purchasers") all or any part of its rights and
obligations under the Facility A Loan Documents; PROVIDED that (i) any such
assignment shall be accompanied by the assignment to the same Purchaser of a Pro
Rata Share of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under the Facility B
Credit Agreement and the other Facility B Loan Documents and (ii) such
assignment may, but need not, include rights of such transferor Lender in
respect of its outstanding Competitive Bid Loans. Such assignment shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto. Unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower and the Agent shall be
required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser
which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. Such consent shall be
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 hereto and shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

      (b) EFFECT; EFFECTIVE DATE. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of a notice of
assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 hereto (a "Notice
of Assignment"), together with any consents required by Section 12.03(a), and
(ii) payment of a $4,000 fee to the Agent for processing such assignment
(provided that no such fee shall be required if the assignee is an Affiliate of
an assignor Lender or if the assignee is already a Lender hereunder), such
assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice
of Assignment. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such
Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any
other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and


                                       81

<PAGE>


obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it
were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower,
the Lenders or the Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with
respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such
Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to
this Section 12.03(b), the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall
make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such
transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are
issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their
Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

      (c) DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an
interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any
prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession
concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

      (d) TAX TREATMENT. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to
any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the United States or any state thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such
Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with
the provisions of Section 2.19.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      SECTION 13.01. NOTICE

      (a) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.13 with respect to
borrowing notices, all notices and other communications provided to any party
hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by
telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address
set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address as may be
designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed
and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received
(or when delivery is refused); any notice, if transmitted by telex or facsimile,
shall be deemed given when transmitted (answerback confirmed in the case of
telexes and facsimile confirmation in the case of a facsimile).

      (b) The Borrower, the Agent and any Lender may each change the address for
service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.

      SECTION 13.02. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered
pursuant hereto shall survive the making by the Lenders of any Loans herein
contemplated and the execution and delivery to the Lenders of the Notes
evidencing the Commitments, and shall continue in full force and effect until


                                       82

<PAGE>


all of the Obligations have been paid in full and the Aggregate Facility A
Commitment has been terminated.

      SECTION 13.03. EXPENSES. The Borrower shall pay (i) all expenses,
including attorneys' fees and disbursements (which attorneys may be employees of
the Agent or any Lender), incurred by the Agent and any Lender in connection
with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any
amendments, modifications or waivers with respect to any of the provisions
thereof and the enforcement and protection of the rights of the Lenders and the
Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including all
recording and filing fees, documentary stamp, intangibles and similar taxes,
title insurance premiums, appraisal fees and other costs and disbursements
incurred in connection with the taking of collateral and the perfection and
preservation of the Lenders' security therein, and (ii) the reasonable fees and
the disbursements of Agent's attorneys (which attorneys may be employees of the
Agent) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and
review of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents (whether or not
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated) and the
closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.

      SECTION 13.04. INDEMNIFICATION OF THE LENDERS AND THE AGENTS. The Borrower
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender, and their
respective directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims,
damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not
the Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur
arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect
application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Agent or a Lender have the right
to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct
nor shall the Agent be indemnified against any liabilities which arise as a
result of any claims made or actions, suits or proceedings commenced or
maintained against any Lender (including the Agent, in its capacity as such) (i)
by that Lender's shareholders or any governmental regulatory body or authority
asserting that such Lender or any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents violated any banking or securities law or regulation or any duty to its
own shareholders, customers (excluding the Borrower) or creditors in any manner
whatsoever in entering into or performing any of its obligations contemplated by
this Agreement or (ii) by any other Lender. The obligations of the Borrower
under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

      SECTION 13.05. MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. It is the intention of the Lenders
and the Borrower that the interest (as defined under applicable law) on the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes which may be charged to, or collected or
received from the Borrower shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under
applicable law. Accordingly, anything herein or in any of the Notes to the
contrary notwithstanding, should any interest (as so defined) be charged to, or
collected or received from the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or
thereto in excess of the maximum legal rate, then the excess payment shall be
applied first, to the reduction of the aggregate outstanding principal balance
of the Facility A Obligations, second, to the reduction of the Facility B


                                       83

<PAGE>


Obligations, and any portion of the excess payment remaining after payment in
full thereof shall be returned by the Lenders to the Borrower.

      SECTION 13.06. MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT

      (a) No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or the Notes, or any Subsidiary Guaranty nor any consent to any
departure by the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors therefrom, in any event
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Borrower (or by the Company on their behalf) and by the Required Lenders (or by
the Agent on their behalf if the Required Lenders have so authorized the Agent),
and then the waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the purpose for which given; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such
modification, amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of all of the
Lenders affected thereby:

        (i)  extend the maturity of any Loan or Note or reduce or forgive the
      principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment
      of interest or fees thereon;

        (ii)  reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required
      Lenders;

        (iii) extend the Facility A Termination Date, or reduce the amount or
      extend the payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Article
      II, or increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder,
      increase the amount of the Swing Line Commitment of the Swing Line Bank
      hereunder, or permit the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor to assign its
      rights under this Agreement;

        (iv)  amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.06;

        (v)   increase the maximum drawable amount or extend the expiration date
      of any outstanding Facility Letter of Credit (except as expressly
      permitted by its terms and in accordance with Section 2.17) or reduce the
      principal amount of or extend the time of payment of any Reimbursement
      Obligation or fee associated with any Facility Letter of Credit; or

        (vi) amend, modify or waive Section 5.03.

      (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at a
time when the conditions precedent set forth in Article V hereof to any Loan
are, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, satisfied, any Lender (a
"Defaulting Lender") shall fail to fulfill its obligations to make such Loan and
such failure continues for at least two Business Days then, for so long as such
failure shall continue, such Defaulting Lender shall (unless the Required
Lenders, determined as if such Defaulting Lender were not a "Lender" hereunder,
shall otherwise consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes relating to
amendments, modifications, waivers or consents under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, under Section 13.06(a)) to have no Loans or Commitments,
shall not


                                       84

<PAGE>


be treated as a "Lender" hereunder when performing the computation of Required
Lenders, and shall have no rights under Section 13.06(a); PROVIDED that any
action taken by the other Lenders with respect to the matters referred to in
clauses (i) through (v) of Section 13.06(a) shall not be effective as against
such Defaulting Lender.

      (c) No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement relating to the Agent shall be effective without the written consent
of the Agent. No notice to or demand of the Borrower in any case shall entitle
the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or
other circumstances.

      SECTION 13.06. PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. No delay or omission of the Lenders
or the Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such
right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of an Event of
Default or Unmatured Default, or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the
conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or
acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not
preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or
provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing
signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 13.06, and then only to the
extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the
Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available
to the Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

      SECTION 13.08. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER; SEVERAL OBLIGA.
All obligations, representations and warranties hereunder and under any of the
Loan Documents, unless otherwise expressly stated, shall be the joint and
several liability of all of the entities comprising the Borrower. The respective
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint, and no Lender
shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the
Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of
its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any
right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and
their respective successors and assigns.

      SECTION 13.09. SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or the Notes is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality or enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

      SECTION 13.10. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which may be executed by one or more of the parties
hereto, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single
agreement binding on all the parties hereto.

expenses incidental thereto and upon surrender and cancellation of the relevant
Note, if mutilated, the Borrower shall make and deliver in lieu of that Note
(the "Prior Note") a new Note of like tenor, except that no reference need be
made in the new Note to any installment or installments of principal, if any,
previously due and paid upon the Prior Note. Any Note made and delivered in
accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be dated as of the date to
which interest has been paid on the unpaid principal amount of the Prior Note.

      SECTION 13.14. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to
extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition
provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

                        CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION OF ADVANCES.

      (a) RIGHT TO CONVERT. The Borrower may elect from time to time, subject to
the provisions of Section 2.07(c), to convert all or any part of a Facility B
Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Facility B Advances;
PROVIDED that any conversion of any Fixed Rate Advance shall be made on, and
only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

      (b) AUTOMATIC CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION. Floating Rate Advances shall
continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances
are converted into Fixed Rate Advances. Fixed Rate Advances of any Type shall
continue as Fixed Rate Advances of such Type until the end of the then
applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Fixed Rate Advance shall
be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrower
shall have given the Agent notice in accordance with Section 2.07(d) requesting
that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Fixed Rate Advance either
continue as a Fixed Rate Advance of such Type for the same or another Interest
Period or be converted into a Facility B Advance of another Type.

      (c) NO CONVERSION IN CASE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR UNMATURED DEFAULT.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.07(a) or
2.07(b), no Facility B Advance may be converted into or continued as a Fixed
Rate Advance (except with the consent of the Required Lenders) when any Event of
Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing.

                                       23

<PAGE>

      (d) CONVERSION/CONTINUATION NOTICE. The Borrower shall give the Agent
irrevocable notice (a "Conversion/Continuation Notice") of each conversion of a
Facility B Advance or continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance not later than 10:00
a.m. (Chicago time) on the day of any conversion into a Floating Rate Advance or
prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date which is two Business Days prior
to the date of the requested conversion into or continuation of a Fixed Rate
Advance, specifying:

         (i)      the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such
      conversion or continuation;

        (ii)      the amount and Type of the Facility B Advance to be converted
      or continued; and

       (iii)      the amount and Type(s) of Facility B Advance(s) into which
      such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a
      conversion into or continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance, the duration of
      the Interest Period applicable thereto.

      SECTION 2.08. MINIMUM AMOUNT OF EACH ADVANCE. Each Fixed Rate Advance
shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in
excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance shall be in the minimum amount
of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused
Aggregate Facility B Commitment.

      SECTION 2.09. RATE AFTER MATURITY. Except as provided in the next
sentence, any Facility B Advance which is not paid at maturity for such Advance,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest until paid in full at
a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus 5% per annum. In the case of a
Fixed Rate Advance the maturity of which is accelerated, such Fixed Rate Advance
shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period
plus 5% per annum for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period, and
thereafter at the Floating Rate plus 5% per annum.

      SECTION 2.10. METHOD OF PAYMENT. All payments of principal, interest, and
fees hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in
immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent's address specified
pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent
specified in writing by the Agent to the Borrower, by 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time)
on the date when due and shall be made ratably by the Agent among the Lenders
with respect to their Loans. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account
of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the
same type of funds which the Agent received at its address specified pursuant to
Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by
the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge any account
of the Borrower maintained with First Chicago for each payment of principal,
interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder. The Agent shall endeavor in good
faith to provide telephonic notice to Borrower

                                       24

<PAGE>

prior to any such charge, but the Agent shall not be liable to Borrower or any
other Person if Agent fails to provide any such notice. If and to the extent
payment owed to any Lender is not made by the Borrower to the Agent or that
Lender, as the case may be, when due hereunder or under the Note held by that
Lender, the Borrower further authorizes such Lender to charge from time to time
against any or all of the accounts maintained by the Borrower with the Lender,
its subsidiaries, affiliates or branches any amount so due, subject to the
provisions of Article XI.

      SECTION 2.11. FACILITY B NOTES; TELEPHONIC NOTICES. Each Lender is hereby
authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each
repayment on the schedule attached to its applicable Facility B Notes; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower's
obligations under any such Facility B Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the
Agent to extend, convert or continue Facility B Advances, effect selections of
Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any
person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on
behalf of the Borrower. All actions taken by the Lenders and the Agent upon such
telephonic notices are hereby approved by the Borrower, and the Lenders and the
Agent shall incur no liability as a result of any such actions. The Borrower
agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, if such
confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice
signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any
material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records
of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

      SECTION 2.12. INTEREST PAYMENT DATES; INTEREST AND FEE BASIS. Interest
accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Monthly Payment
Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any
date on which the Floating Rate Loan is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or
otherwise, and on the Facility B Termination Date. Interest accrued on that
portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance
converted into a Fixed Rate Advance on a day other than a Monthly Payment Date
shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate
Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on
any date on which the Fixed Rate Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or
otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance having
an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last
day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on
Floating Rate Loans and Facility Fees shall be calculated for actual days
elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year; interest on Fixed Rate Loans shall be
calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest
shall be payable for the day a Facility B Advance is made but not for the day of
any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m.
(Chicago time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or
interest on a Facility B Advance shall become due on a day which is not a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be
included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

      SECTION 2.13. NOTIFICATION OF ADVANCES, INTEREST RATES, PREPAYMENTS AND
COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify
each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Facility B Commitment reduction
notice, Borrowing Notice,

                                       25

<PAGE>

Conversion/Continuation Notice and repayment notice received by it hereunder.
The Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed
Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate.

      SECTION 2.14. LENDING INSTALLATIONS. Each Lender may book its Loans at any
Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending
Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any
such Lending Installation and the Facility B Notes shall be deemed held by each
Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written
or telex notice to the Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation
through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are
to be made.

      SECTION 2.15. EXTENSION OF FACILITY B TERMINATION DATE. The Borrower may
request an extension of the Facility B Termination Date by submitting a request
for an extension to the Agent (an "Extension Request") not more than 90 nor less
than 60 days prior to the Facility B Termination Date. The new Facility B
Termination Date shall be no more than 364 days after the Facility B Termination
Date in effect at the time the Extension Request is received, including the
Facility B Termination Date as one of the days in the calculation of the days
elapsed. Promptly following receipt of an Extension Request, the Agent shall
notify each Lender of the contents thereof, shall request each Lender to approve
the Extension Request, and shall specify the date (which must be at least 30
days after the Extension Request is delivered to the Lenders) as of which the
Lenders must respond to the Extension Request (the "Reply Date"). Each Lender
approving the Extension Request shall deliver its written consent no later than
the Reply Date. If the consent of all of the Lenders is received by the Agent on
or prior to the Reply Date, the Facility B Termination Date specified in the
Extension Request shall become effective at the expiration of the existing
Facility B Termination Date and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and
each Lender of the new Facility B Termination Date. The Borrower may not request
more than two extensions of the Facility B Termination Date pursuant to this
Section.

      SECTION 2.16. FACILITY B TERM-OUT OPTION. The Company shall have the
option to convert the Loans outstanding under Facility B on the Facility B
Termination Date (as extended pursuant to Section 2.15) to a term loan (the
"Facility B Term Loan") which shall mature and become due and payable in full on
the Facility A Termination Date. In order to request such conversion, the
Company shall give written notice (the "Term-Out Notice") to the Agent not less
than 30 or more than 90 days prior to the Facility B Termination Date, which
shall specify the principal amount of the Loans outstanding under Facility B
which the Company desires to convert to the Facility B Term Loan. Promptly
following its receipt of the Term-Out Notice, the Agent shall send a copy of the
Term-Out Notice to each of the Lenders. If the Company has given the Term-Out
Notice as provided herein, the Loans outstanding under Facility B on the
Facility B Termination Date shall automatically convert to Facility B Term
Loans, with each Lender being deemed to have made its Pro Rata Share of the
Facility B Term Loans, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
principal amount thereof. The principal amount of the Facility B Term Loans
shall be repayable in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each
fiscal quarter of the Company, commencing with the first full quarter following
the Facility B Termination Date, with the final installment due

                                       26

<PAGE>

and payable on the Facility A Termination Date. Facility B Term Loans shall be
either Fixed Rate Loans or Floating Rate Loans, with interest accruing and being
paid in the same manner as Loans outstanding under Facility A, and with the
Facility B Term Loans to be designated as, continued as, or converted into Fixed
Rate Loans in the same manner as Facility B Advances could be designated as,
continued as, or converted into Fixed Rate Advances or Floating Rate Advances as
provided in Section 2.07. In the event of such conversion, the Facility B Term
Note held by each Lender shall thereafter evidence the Facility B Term Loan made
by such Lender hereunder.

      SECTION 2.17. NON-RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE AGENT. Unless the Borrower or a
Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is
scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the
proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal,
interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not
intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been
made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such
payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If
such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such
payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the
Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest
thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such
amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such
amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

      SECTION 2.18. WITHHOLDING TAX EXEMPTION. At least five Business Days prior
to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the
account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of
the United States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to
each of the Borrower and the Agent two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, certifying in either case that such
Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Facility B
Notes or the Facility B Term Notes, as applicable, without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which so
delivers a Form 1001 or 4224 further undertakes to deliver to each of the
Borrower and the Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor form)
on or before the date that such form expires (currently, three successive
calendar years for Form 1001 and one calendar year for Form 4224) or becomes
obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or
renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, in
each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement and the Facility B Notes or Facility B Term Notes, as applicable,
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes,
unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would
otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with
respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Agent that it is not
capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United
States federal income tax.

                                       27

<PAGE>

      SECTION 2.19. UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENTS. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall make all payments hereunder, under
the Facility B Notes, the Facility B Term Notes and under all of the other
Facility B Loan Documents regardless of any defense or counterclaim, including
any defense or counterclaim based on any law, rule or policy which is now or
hereafter promulgated by any governmental authority or regulatory body and which
may adversely affect the Borrower's obligations to make, or the right of the
holder of any Facility B Note or Facility B Term Note, as applicable, to
receive, those payments.

      SECTION 2.20. COMPENSATING BALANCES. First Chicago shall have the right
(but no obligation) to enter into a separate agreement with the Borrower which
provides for the reduction of the interest rate payable to First Chicago
hereunder in the event that the Borrower maintains collected balances in
non-interest bearing accounts at First Chicago, but in no event shall such
agreement affect the amounts payable under this Agreement to any other Lender.
Similarly, each other Lender shall have the right (but no obligation) to enter
into a separate agreement with the Borrower which provides for the rebate to
Borrower of a portion of the interest paid to such Lender under this Agreement
in the event that the Borrower maintains collected balances in non-interest
bearing accounts at such Lender, but in no event shall any such agreement affect
the amounts payable under this Agreement to such Lender.

                                   ARTICLE III

                             CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

      SECTION 3.01. YIELD-PROTECTION. If the adoption, on or after the Agreement
Date, of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation,
policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any
change, on or after the Agreement Date, in interpretation thereof, or the
compliance of any Lender (which term, for purposes of this Article III, shall be
deemed to include such Issuer in such capacity) therewith,

         (i0 subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any
      tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the Borrower
      (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of any Lender or
      applicable Lending Installation), or changes the basis of taxation of
      payments to any Lender in respect of its Loans or other amounts due it
      hereunder, or

        (ii0 imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment,
      insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets
      of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender
      or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and
      assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable
      to Fixed Rate Advances), or

                                       28

<PAGE>

       (iii0 imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the
      cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making,
      funding or maintaining loans (or letters of credit or participations
      therein) or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable
      Lending Installation in connection with loans (or letters of credit or
      participations therein), or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending
      Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of
      loans (or letters of credit or participations therein) held or interest
      received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such
Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount
received which such Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and
maintaining its Loans and its Facility B Commitment (PROVIDED, THAT the
foregoing shall not include any amounts which First Chicago certifies are
reflected in an increase of the Corporate Base Rate for the relevant period).

      SECTION 3.02. CHANGES IN CAPITAL ADEQUACY REGULATIONS. If a Lender
reasonably determines the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change, and
such increase will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender's capital as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a
level below that which such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be,
could have achieved but for such Change (taking into account such Lender's or
such corporation's policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital
adequacy and any payments made to such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 which
relate to capital adequacy and assuming that such Lender's capital was fully
utilized prior to such Change), then within 15 days of demand by such Lender,
the Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of such Lender, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3.02 it shall promptly notify the Company through the Agent of the event
by reason of which it has become so entitled, but in any event within 90 days,
after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; PROVIDED that if such Lender
fails to give such notice within the 90-day period after it obtains actual
knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to such compensation
in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment
for costs incurred from and after the date 90 days prior to the date that such
Lender does give such notice. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail
the computation of any additional amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.02,
submitted by such Lender to the Company through the Agent, shall be delivered to
the Company promptly after the initial incurrence of such additional amounts.
"Change" means (i) any change after the Agreement Date in the Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this
Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation
controlling any Lender or any Lending Institution. "Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines" means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United
States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the
corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside
the United States implementing the July 1988 report

                                       29

<PAGE>

of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices entitled
"International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,"
including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior
to the date of this Agreement.

      SECTION 3.03. AVAILABILITY OF TYPES OF ADVANCES. If any Lender determines
that maintenance of its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation
would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not
having the force of law, or if the Agent determines that (i) deposits of a type
and maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances are not available or
(ii) the interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately
reflect the cost of making or maintaining such Advance, then the Agent shall
suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any Fixed
Rate Advances of the affected Type to be repaid or to be converted (in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement) to any Type of Advance which is not
affected and is then available under this Agreement.

      SECTION 3.04. FUNDING INDEMNIFICATION. If any payment of a Fixed Rate
Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest
Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Fixed
Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason
other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for
any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without
limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to
fund or maintain the Fixed Rate Advance.

      SECTION 3.05. LENDER STATEMENTS: SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITY. To the extent
reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending
Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the
Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 or to avoid the
unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 3.03, so long as such
designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a
written statement of such Lender as to the amount due, if any, under Sections
3.01, 3.02 or 3.04. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail
the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be
final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed
Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan
through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the
deposit used as a reference in determining the Fixed Rate applicable to such
Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand after
receipt by the Borrower of the written statement. The obligations of the
Borrower under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.04 shall survive payment of the
Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      The entities comprising the Borrower jointly and severally represent and

its state of incorporation, (ii) has the power and authority to own or hold
under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to carry
on its business as now conducted, (iii) is duly qualified or licensed to
transact business in every jurisdiction in which such qualification or licensing
is necessary to enable it to enforce all of its material contracts and other
material rights and to avoid any material penalty or forfeiture.

      SECTION 4.02. AUTHORIZATION AND VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, ETC. The
Borrower has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the
Facility B Notes and the other Facility B Loan Documents and to perform all its
obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each of the entities
comprising the Borrower of this Agreement, the Facility B Notes and the other
Facility B Loan Documents and the performance by the Borrower of all its
obligations thereunder and any and all actions taken by the Borrower (i) have
been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action, (ii) will not violate or
be in conflict with (a) any provisions of law (including, without limitation,
any applicable usury or similar law), (b) any order, rule, regulation, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree or award of any court or other agency of
government, or (c) any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws,
(iii) will not violate, be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute
(with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) a default
under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is or may be bound, and
(iv) except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, will not result in the
creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon, or any security
interest in, any of its properties or assets. Each of this Agreement, the
Facility B Notes and the other Facility B Loan Documents has been duly executed
and delivered by the Borrower. The Facility B Loan Documents constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower
in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally.

Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) constitutes less than 25% of those
assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation

      (b No part of the proceeds of any of the Facility B Advances will be used

purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. If requested by the
Lenders, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lenders a statement in conformity

subdivision thereof is required in connection with, or as a condition precedent
to, the due and valid execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this
Agreement, the Facility B Notes or the other Facility B Loan Documents, or the
legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the respective
terms, provisions or conditions thereof. To the extent that any franchises,
licenses, certificates, authorizations, approvals or consents from any federal,
state or local (domestic or foreign) government, commission, bureau or agency
are required for the acquisition, ownership, operation or maintenance by the
Borrower of properties now owned, operated or maintained by it, those
franchises, licenses, certificates, authorizations, approvals and consents have
been validly granted, are in full force and effect and constitute valid and
sufficient authorization therefor.

Subsidiaries are in compliance with and conform to all statutes, laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, restrictions and all other legal
requirements of all domestic or foreign governments or any instrumentality

the ownership of their respective properties, the violation of which would have
a Material Adverse Effect on it, including, without limitation, regulations of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Interstate
Land Sales Full Disclosure Act and the Florida Land Sales Act. Neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its
operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of
applicable Environmental Laws or any applicable federal, state and local health
and safety statutes and regulations or the subject of any federal or state
investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a

required services, credit and other facilities for those integrated operations.
The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors require financing on such a basis
that funds can be made available from time to time to such entities, to the
extent required for the continued successful operation of their integrated
operations. The Facility B Advances to be made to the Borrower under this
Agreement are for the purpose of financing the integrated operations of the
Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and each of the entities comprising the
Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors expects to derive benefit, directly or
indirectly, from the Facility B Advances, both individually and as a member of

Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors is dependent upon the continued
successful performance of the integrated group as a whole.

applicability. All of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary
owned by the Company, Greystone or another Subsidiary as specified in Schedule V

company", or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or of a "subsidiary company"
of a "holding company", within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935, as amended.

that any of the Real Estate owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary or any their
respective operations are not in compliance with any of the requirements of
applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state
investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a

                                   ARTICLE VI

will cause each of its Subsidiaries to:

incorporation and all qualifications or licenses in jurisdictions in which such
qualification or licensing is required for the conduct of its business or in
which the Lenders shall request such qualification; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit any Borrower other than the Company
from (i) merging into or consolidating with any other Borrower (including the
Company, if the Company is the surviving entity) or (ii) declaring and paying
dividends in complete liquidation. The Borrower will, and will cause each
Subsidiary to, carry on and conduct its business in substantially the same
manner and in substantially the same fields of enterprise as it is presently
conducted and maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in each
jurisdiction in which its business is conducted. The primary business of the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries shall at all times be the acquisition, development
and sale of real estate assets.

      SECTION 6.02. NOTICE. Give prompt written notice to the Agent of (i) any
proceeding instituted by or against the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries in

in writing by any federal, state or other governmental agency, which, if
adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on the Borrower, and (ii) any other Event which could reasonably be
expected to lead to or result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower, or
which, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both,
would constitute an Event of Default or a default under any material agreement
other than this Agreement to which the Borrower is a party or by which any of
its properties or assets is or may be bound.

      SECTION 6.03. PAYMENTS OF DEBTS, TAXES, ETC. Pay all its debts and perform
all its obligations promptly and in accordance with the respective terms
thereof, and pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged promptly all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Borrower
or upon its incomes or receipts or upon any of its properties before the same
shall become in default or past due, as well as all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies or otherwise which, if unpaid, might result in the
imposition of a lien or charge upon such properties or any part thereof;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that it shall not constitute a violation of the provisions of
this Section 6.03 if the Borrower shall fail to perform any such obligation or
to pay any such debt (except for obligations for money borrowed), tax,
assessment, governmental charge or levy or claim for labor, materials or
supplies which is being contested in good faith, by proper proceedings
diligently pursued, and as to which adequate reserves have been provided.

financially sound and reputable insurers, on all properties of the Borrower

Mortgages securing mortgage loans made by the Borrower, to the extent normally
required by prudent mortgagees, and all Real Estate which is subject of an

of the formation of any new Significant Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined), the
establishment of any new Joint Venture or the commencement of any new project or
work-out involving Real Estate not owned by the Borrower as of the Agreement
Date, which such new Significant Subsidiary shall become a party to this
Agreement as a Borrower hereunder, effective upon the date of such Subsidiary's
formation, unless (x) such Subsidiary is a Joint Venture Subsidiary, (y) the
terms of the agreement creating such Joint Venture prohibit the joint venturers

of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Interstate Land Sales
Full Disclosure Act, ERISA and the Florida Land Sales Act, the violation of
which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 6.09. ADVANCES TO THE MORTGAGE BANKING SUBSIDIARIES. Cause the
Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries to execute and deliver the Mortgage Banking
Subsidiaries Note in order to evidence all loans and advances that now exist or
are hereafter made by the Company to any of the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries,
respectively; deposit the original Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note with
Agent; and obtain, prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this
Agreement, written acknowledgments from each Mortgage Banking Subsidiary that
the aggregate of all loans and advances hereafter made by the Company to such
Mortgage Banking Subsidiary shall be evidenced and governed by the Mortgage
Banking Subsidiaries Note held by Agent. At all times the principal amount of
the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note held by Agent must equal or exceed the
aggregate principal amount of all loans and advances made by the Company to
Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries, and upon the request of Agent (but no more
frequently than monthly), the Company shall obtain and deliver to the Agent
specific written acknowledgments from each of the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries
to the effect that loans and advances theretofore made by the Company to the
Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries are evidenced by the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries
Note. In the event that after the Agreement Date the Borrower organizes or
acquires any Mortgage Banking Subsidiary, such Mortgage Banking Subsidiary
shall, upon such organization or acquisition, join in and become a maker of a
replacement Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries Note, such new Mortgage Banking
Subsidiaries Note shall be deposited with the Agent pursuant to this Section
6.09, and all references in this Agreement to Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries

shall not be required to comply with the Borrowing Base Limitation if, but only
so long as, the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt has a Rating of BBB-
or higher from S&P OR Baa3 or higher from Moody's.

            (b) MAXIMUM LEVERAGE RATIO. At any time, permit the aggregate
outstanding amount of the sum of (i) all outstanding Obligations PLUS (ii) all
other Indebtedness of the Borrower, (excluding from such Indebtedness all LNR

such date), PLUS (iii) all LLP Loans LESS (iv) unrestricted cash of the Borrower
in excess of $15,000,000, to exceed 240% through November 30, 1997, 225% through

is less than the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, and (ii) the Borrower is not
in compliance with the Borrowing Base Limitation (without regard to the proviso
contained in Section 7.02(a)), the Maximum Leverage Ratio shall decrease by ten
(10) percentage points for the next succeeding quarter and for each quarter
thereafter until Borrower is in compliance with the Minimum Interest Coverage
Ratio; PROVIDED FURTHER, however, that if on the last day in any subsequent
quarter, Borrower is in compliance with both the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio
and the Borrowing Base Limitation (without regard to the proviso contained in
Section 7.02(a)), the Maximum Leverage Ratio shall increase by ten (10)
percentage points (but not above 225% through November 30, 1999, and 200%
thereafter) for such quarter.

      SECTION 7.03. GUARANTIES. Make or suffer to exist any Contingent

obligations of any other Person, or by agreement for the furnishing of funds
through the purchase of goods, supplies or services (whether by way of stock
purchase, capital contribution, advance or loan) for the purpose of paying or
discharging the obligations of any other Person, except for: (a) guaranties of
obligations of another Borrower issued in the ordinary course of business; (b)

Indebtedness of LNR which exists on the Closing Date or $50,000,000, and (ii)
from and after November 30, 1998, shall be zero. None of the foregoing clauses,
however, shall be deemed to permit the Borrower to guaranty any obligations of
the Mortgage Banking Subsidiaries, the Limited Purpose Finance Subsidiaries, STI

willful misconduct) as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with the provisions
of subsection (a)(vi) above or of applicable law, or for the failure to sell or
offer for sale the Collateral, for any reason whatsoever. The Borrower waives
any claims (other than those attributable to acts or omissions amounting to
gross negligence or willful misconduct) against the Agent, any Person designated
by the Agent to take any action, the Lenders, and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents and counsel arising with respect to the price at
which the Collateral, or any part thereof, may have been sold or by reason of
the fact that such price was less than the aggregate of all the Obligations,
PROVIDED that all such sales have been effected in a commercially reasonable
manner.

                                       60

      (c) The Agent shall collect the cash proceeds received from any sale or
other disposition or from any other source contemplated by subsection (a) above
and, after deducting all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent, any person
designated by the Agent to take any of the actions enumerated in subsection (a)
above, and the Lenders (other than in connection with the purchase by any of the
Lenders of any item of the Collateral) in connection with such collection and
sale (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses),
shall apply the same in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04 below.
Noncash proceeds received by the Agent shall be held by it, unless and until
instructions are received from the Required Lenders to distribute those
proceeds. Upon any such distribution in the order set forth in Section 9.04
below, the Facility B Obligations shall be reduced by the fair market value of
any such noncash proceeds.

      (d) If the amount of all proceeds received in liquidation of the
Collateral which shall be applied to payment of the Obligations shall be
insufficient to pay all the Obligations in full, the Borrower acknowledges that
it shall continue to remain liable for any deficiency, together with any
interest thereon and costs of collection thereof (including reasonable counsel
fees and legal expenses), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
other Facility B Loan Documents and the Facility A Credit Agreement and the
other Facility A Loan Documents. The Agent shall account to the Borrower as to
all applications of the proceeds of the Collateral in reduction of the
Obligations.

      (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the provisions of this Section
9.03 shall confer on the Agent or any of the Lenders any rights or privileges
not permissible under applicable law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent the
Borrower may waive any provisions of applicable law which would or could be in
conflict with the terms of this Section 9.03, the Borrower hereby expressly
waives the application of any such laws and provisions.

      (f) In connection with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.03, the
Borrower from time to time promptly shall execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, to the Agent such reasonable documents and instruments,
and take or cause to be taken other reasonable and lawful action, as the Agent
reasonably shall deem necessary or desirable to enable it to exercise any of the
rights with respect to the Collateral granted to it pursuant to this Section
9.03.

      SECTION 9.04. APPLICATION OF FUNDS. In the event that all the Facility B
Obligations shall have become or been declared due and payable pursuant to the
terms of Section 9.02 hereof, the Lenders agree, by and among themselves (and,
with respect to subsection (f) below, with the Borrower), that any funds
received from or on behalf of the Borrower (pursuant to the provisions of
Section 9.03 or otherwise) by the Agent or any of the Lenders (except funds
retained by any Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 11.01 hereof) shall be
remitted to the Agent, if received by any Lender, and applied by the Agent (in
the case of subsections (c), (d) and (e) below), on a pro rata basis among the
Lenders in accordance with their respective percentages of the Loans outstanding
at the time of such declaration in the following manner and order:

                                       61

<PAGE>

      (a) first, to pay to or reimburse the Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses
for which it is entitled to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of
Section 13.03 hereof;

      (b) second, to reimburse any of the Lenders pursuant to the provisions of
Section 13.03 hereof;

      (c) third, to payment of accrued and unpaid interest due on the Notes;

      (d) fourth, to payment of the outstanding principal of the Notes;

      (e) fifth, to payment in full of all the remaining Obligations; and

      (f) sixth, any remainder shall be returned to the Borrower or as otherwise
required by applicable law.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                    THE AGENT

      SECTION 10.01. APPOINTMENT. The First National Bank of Chicago is hereby
appointed Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document and, subject to the
provisions of Section 10.13 below, each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes
the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender. The Agent agrees to act as such
upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. The Agent shall not
have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender by reason of this
Agreement. NationsBank, N.A. is hereby appointed to act as Syndication Agent,
Credit Lyonnais Atlanta Agency is hereby appointed as Documentation Agent
hereunder, Bank of America National Trust & Savings Association and Comerica
Bank are hereby appointed as Managing Agents, and Fleet National Bank and
Guaranty Federal Bank, F.S.B. are hereby appointed as Co-Agents. Neither the
Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents nor the
Co-Agents shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or
duty under this Agreement in such capacity.

      SECTION 10.02. POWERS. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers
under the Facility B Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent
by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or
any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action
specifically provided by the Facility B Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

      SECTION 10.03. GENERAL IMMUNITY. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the
Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or
therewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                                       62

<PAGE>

      SECTION 10.04. NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOANS, RECITALS, ETC. Neither the
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document
or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document; (iii) the
satisfaction of any condition specified in Article V, except receipt of items
required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or
genuineness (except its own due execution thereof) of any Loan Document or any
other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. Further, the
Agent assumes no obligation to any other Lender as to the collectibility of any
Loans made by any Lender to the Borrower. Each Lender expressly acknowledges
that the Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it on or prior
to the date hereof and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken shall be deemed
to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any other Lender.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has taken and will take such action and make
such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the affairs and
creditworthiness of the Borrower.

      SECTION 10.05. EMPLOYMENT OF AGENTS AND COUNSEL. The Agent may execute any
of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through
employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the
Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized
agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its
duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

      SECTION 10.06. RELIANCE ON DOCUMENTS; COUNSEL. The Agent shall not be
under a duty to examine into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness,
genuineness or value of this Agreement, the Notes or any other document
furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith, and the Agent
shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and
what they purport to be. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or
document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal
matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be
employees of the Agent. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by it based on or in accordance with any of the
foregoing.

      SECTION 10.07. NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS. With respect to its Facility B
Commitment, Loans made by it and the Facility B Notes issued to it, the Agent
shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Facility B
Loan Document as any Lender or Issuer and may exercise the same as though it was
not the Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context
otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent may
accept deposits from, lend money to and issue letters of credit for the account
of, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or its
Affiliates (including, without limitation, trust, debt, equity and other
transactions) in addition to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or
any

                                       63

<PAGE>

other Facility B Loan Document; it being expressly understood and agreed that
neither the Agent nor any other Lender shall be deemed by the execution hereof
to have waived any rights under any term loan or other agreement with the
Borrower relating to any other business or loans to the Borrower which are not a
part of the Aggregate Facility B Commitment under this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Lenders acknowledges and
consents to First Chicago acting as Agent under the Facility A Credit Agreement
and the LLP Credit Agreement and the other Facility B Loan Documents referred to
in such agreements.

      SECTION 10.08. KNOWLEDGE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. It is expressly understood
and agreed that the Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default
or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of the
Agent active on the Borrower's account have actual knowledge of such occurrence
or have been notified by a Lender that such Lender considers that an Event of
Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the
nature thereof.

      SECTION 10.09. AGENT'S REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION. The Lenders
agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower
for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the
Facility B Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on
behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration and enforcement of the Facility B Loan Documents and (iii) for
any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating
to or arising out of the Facility B Loan Documents or any other document
delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or
the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents,
PROVIDED that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent
they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent.

      SECTION 10.10. NOTICES TO THE BORROWER. In each instance that a notice is
required, pursuant to the terms hereof, to be given by one or more of the
Lenders to the Borrower, the Lenders desiring that such notice be given shall so
advise the Agent (which advice, if given by telephone, shall be promptly
confirmed by telex or letter to the Agent at its address listed in the signature
pages hereto), which shall transmit such notice to the Borrower promptly after
its having been so advised by the appropriate number of Lenders; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that subject to the provisions of Section 10.14 hereof, if the Agent
shall fail to transmit such notice to the Borrower within a reasonable period of
time after its having been so advised by the appropriate number of Lenders, the
Lenders desiring that such notice be given may transmit such notice directly to
the Borrower and in all cases, notice to the Borrower shall be deemed notice to
the Subsidiary Guarantors.

      SECTION 10.11. ACTION ON INSTRUCTIONS OF LENDERS. The Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and
under any other Facility B Loan Document in accordance with written instructions
signed by the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, and
such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant

                                       64

<PAGE>

thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Facility B
Notes. Except where an action or inaction is expressly required under the
Agreement, the Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action hereunder and under any other Facility B Loan Document or the Facility A
Loan Documents unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, against any and all
liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing
to take any such action.

      SECTION 10.12. LENDER CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and
based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility B Loan
Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the
other Facility B Loan Documents.

      SECTION 10.13. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE AGENT. If, at any time,
Lenders holding Notes having aggregate outstanding principal balances equal to
at least 75% of the then outstanding amount of the Aggregate Facility B
Commitment (excluding from such computation the Agent and its Notes) shall deem
it advisable, those Lenders may submit to the Agent notification by certified
mail, return receipt requested of its removal as Agent under this Agreement,
which removal shall be effective as of the date of receipt of such notice by the
Agent. If, at any time, the Agent shall deem it advisable, in its sole
discretion, it may submit to each of the Lenders written notification, by
certified mail, return receipt requested, of its resignation as Agent under this
Agreement, which resignation shall be effective as of 30 days after the date of
such notice. In the event of any such removal or resignation, the Required
Lenders may appoint a successor to the Agent. In the event the Agent shall have
resigned and/or have been removed and so long as no successor shall have been
appointed, the Borrower shall make all payments due each Lender hereunder
directly to that Lender and all powers specifically delegated to the Agent by
the terms hereof may be exercised by the Required Lenders. Upon the removal or
resignation of the Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility B Loan Documents. After
the removal or resignation of the Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Facility
B Loan Documents.

      SECTION 10.14. BENEFITS OF ARTICLE X. None of the provisions of this
Article X shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower or of any Person other than
Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Accordingly, neither the Borrower nor any Person other than Agent and
the Lenders (and their respective successors and permitted assigns) shall be
entitled to rely upon, or to raise as a defense, the failure of the Agent or any
Lenders to comply with the provisions of this Article X.

                                       65

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

      SECTION 11.01. SETOFF. In addition to, and without limitation of, any
rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent,
however evidenced, or any Event of Default or Unmatured Default occurs, any
indebtedness from any Lender to the Borrower (including all account balances,
whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) may be
offset and applied toward the payment of the Facility B Obligations owing to
such Lender, whether or not the Facility B Obligations, or any part hereof,
shall then be due. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any
such set-off and application made by such Lender; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off
and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.01 are in
addition to any other rights and remedies which that Lender may have under this
Agreement or otherwise.

      SECTION 11.02. RATABLE PAYMENTS. If any Lender, whether by setoff or
otherwise, has payment made to it upon any of its Loans (other than payments
received pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 or 3.04) in a greater proportion than
that received by any other Lender with respect to Loans, such Lender agrees,
promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of such Loans held by the other
Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of
all Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which
might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection
for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender
agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all
Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in accordance with
their respective Pro Rata Shares. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal
process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

                                   ARTICLE XII

               BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

      SECTION 12.01. SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS. The terms and provisions
of the Facility B Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its
rights or obligations under the Facility B Loan Documents and (ii) any
assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.03.
Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without
the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, assign all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its
obligations hereunder. The Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes hereof

                                       66

<PAGE>

unless and until such payee complies with Section 12.03 in the case of an
assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of
the transfer is filed with the Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Note
agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the
Facility B Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who
at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the
holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder,
transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange
therefor. A Lender may not assign less than the lesser of its Commitment or
$10,000,000.

      SECTION 12.02. PARTICIPATIONS.

      (a) PERMITTED PARTICIPANTS; EFFECT. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course
of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one
or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating interests in any
Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such
Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Facility B Loan Documents;
PROVIDED that any such sale is accompanied by the assignment to the same
Participant of a Pro Rata Share of the selling Lender's interest under the
Facility A Credit Agreement and the other Facility A Loan Documents. In the
event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant,
such Lender's obligations under the Facility B Loan Documents shall remain
unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Facility B Loan Documents,
all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as
if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and
the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Facility B Loan
Documents.

      (b) VOTING RIGHTS. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve,
without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of the Facility B Loan Documents other than any amendment,
modification or waiver with respect to any Loan, Facility Letter of Credit
Obligations or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which
forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees
payable with respect to any such Loan, Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or
Commitment, postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of
principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan or Commitment, releases any
guarantor of any such Loan, Facility Letter of Credit Obligations or releases
any substantial portion of collateral, if any, securing any such Loan or
Facility Letter of Credit Obligations.

      (c) BENEFIT OF SETOFF. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.01 in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under the Facility B Loan Documents to
the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
directly to it as a Lender under the Facility B Loan Documents, PROVIDED that
each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.01 with
respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The
Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and

                                       67

<PAGE>

each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.01,
agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise
of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section
11.02 as if each Participant were a Lender.

      SECTION 12.03. ASSIGNMENTS.

      (a) PERMITTED ASSIGNMENTS. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or
more banks or other entities ("Purchasers") all or any part of its rights and
obligations under the Facility B Loan Documents; PROVIDED that (i) any such
assignment shall be accompanied by the assignment to the same Purchaser of a Pro
Rata Share of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under the Facility A
Credit Agreement and the other Facility A Loan Documents and (ii) such
assignment may, but need not, include rights of such transferor Lender in
respect of its outstanding Competitive Bid Loans. Such assignment shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto. Unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower and the Agent shall be
required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser
which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. Such consent shall be
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 hereto and shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

      (b) EFFECT; EFFECTIVE DATE. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of a notice of
assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 hereto (a "Notice
of Assignment"), together with any consents required by Section 12.03(a), and
(ii) payment of a $4,000 fee to the Agent for processing such assignment
(provided that no such fee shall be required if the assignee is an Affiliate of
assignor Lender or if the assignee is already a Lender hereunder), such
assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice
of Assignment. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such
Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any
other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and
obligations of a Lender under the Facility B Loan Documents, to the same extent
as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the
Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent shall be required to release the transferor
Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans
assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.03(b), the transferor Lender, the Agent
and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes
are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate,
replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal
amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

      (c) DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an
interest in the Facility B Loan Documents by operation of law (each a
"Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such
Lender's possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries.

                                       68

<PAGE>

      (d) TAX TREATMENT. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to
any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the United States or any state thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such
Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with
the provisions of Section 2.18.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      SECTION 13.01. NOTICE.

      (a) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.11 with respect to
borrowing notices, all notices and other communications provided to any party
hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by
telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address
set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address as may be
designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed
and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received
(or when delivery is refused); any notice, if transmitted by telex or facsimile,
shall be deemed given when transmitted (answerback confirmed in the case of
telexes and facsimile confirmation in the case of a facsimile).

      (b) The Borrower, the Agent and any Lender may each change the address for
service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.

      SECTION 13.02. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered
pursuant hereto shall survive the making by the Lenders of any Loans herein
contemplated and the execution and delivery to the Lenders of the Notes
evidencing the Commitments, and shall continue in full force and effect until
all of the Obligations have been paid in full and the Aggregate Facility B
Commitment has been terminated.

      SECTION 13.03. EXPENSES. The Borrower shall pay (i) all expenses,
including attorneys' fees and disbursements (which attorneys may be employees of
the Agent or any Lender), incurred by the Agent and any Lender in connection
with the administration of this Agreement and the other Facility B Loan
Documents, any amendments, modifications or waivers with respect to any of the
provisions thereof and the enforcement and protection of the rights of the
Lenders and the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Facility B Loan
Documents, including all recording and filing fees, documentary stamp,
intangibles and similar taxes, title insurance premiums, appraisal fees and
other costs and disbursements incurred in connection with the taking of
collateral and the perfection and preservation of the Lenders' security therein,
and (ii) the reasonable fees and the disbursements of Agent's attorneys (which
attorneys may be employees of the Agent) in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery and review of this Agreement, the Notes and the
other Facility B Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall be consummated) and the closing of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 13.04. INDEMNIFICATION OF THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT. The Borrower
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender, and their
respective directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims,
damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not
the Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur
arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly, this Agreement, the other
Facility B Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or
indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan
hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Agent or a Lender have
the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct nor shall the Agent be indemnified against any liabilities which
arise as a result of any claims made or actions, suits or proceedings commenced
or maintained against any Lender (including the Agent, in its capacity as such)
(i) by that Lender's shareholders or any governmental regulatory body or
authority asserting that such Lender or any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents violated any banking or securities law or regulation or any
duty to its own shareholders, customers (excluding the Borrower) or creditors in
any manner whatsoever in entering into or performing any of its obligations
contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) by any other Lender. The obligations of
the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

      SECTION 13.05. MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. It is the intention of the Lenders
and the Borrower that the interest (as defined under applicable law) on the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes which may be charged to, or collected or
received from the Borrower shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under
applicable law. Accordingly, anything herein or in any of the Notes to the
contrary notwithstanding, should any interest (as so defined) be charged to, or
collected or received from the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or
thereto in excess of the maximum legal rate, then the excess payment shall be
applied first, to the reduction of the aggregate outstanding principal balance
of the Facility A Obligations, second, to the reduction of the Facility B
Obligations, and any portion of the excess payment remaining after payment in
full thereof shall be returned by the Lenders to the Borrower.

      SECTION 13.06. MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT.

      (a) No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or the Notes, or any Subsidiary Guaranty nor any consent to any
departure by the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors therefrom, in any event
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Borrower (or by the Company on their behalf) and by the Required Lenders (or by
the Agent on their behalf if the Required Lenders have so authorized the Agent),
and then the waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the purpose for which given; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such
modification, amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of all of the
Lenders affected thereby:

         (i) extend the maturity of any Loan or Note or reduce or forgive the
      principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment
      of interest or fees thereon;

                                       70

<PAGE>

        (ii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required
      Lenders;

       (iii) extend the Facility B Termination Date, or reduce the amount or
      extend the payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Article
      II, or increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder or
      permit the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor to assign its rights under
      this Agreement;

        (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.06; or

         (v) amend, modify or waive Section 5.03.

      (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at a
time when the conditions precedent set forth in Article V hereof to any Loan
are, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, satisfied, any Lender (a
"Defaulting Lender") shall fail to fulfill its obligations to make such Loan and
such failure continues for at least two Business Days then, for so long as such
failure shall continue, such Defaulting Lender shall (unless the Required
Lenders, determined as if such Defaulting Lender were not a "Lender" hereunder,
shall otherwise consent in writing) be deemed for all purposes relating to
amendments, modifications, waivers or consents under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, under Section 13.06(a)) to have no Loans or Commitments,
shall not be treated as a "Lender" hereunder when performing the computation of
Required Lenders, and shall have no rights under Section 13.06(a); PROVIDED that
any action taken by the other Lenders with respect to the matters referred to in
clauses (i) through (v) of Section 13.06(a) shall not be effective as against
such Defaulting Lender.

      (c) No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement relating to the Agent shall be effective without the written consent
of the Agent. No notice to or demand of the Borrower in any case shall entitle
the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or
other circumstances.

      SECTION 13.07. PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. No delay or omission of the Lenders
or the Agent to exercise any right under the Facility B Loan Documents shall
impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of
an Event of Default or Unmatured Default, or the inability of the Borrower to
satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or
acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not
preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or
provisions of the Facility B Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in
writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 13.06, and then only
to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in
the Facility B Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all
shall be available to the Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been
paid in full.

                                       71

      SECTION 13.08. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER; SEVERAL
OBLIGATIONS OF LENDERS. All obligations, representations and warranties
hereunder and under any of the Facility B Loan Documents, unless otherwise
expressly stated, shall be the joint and several liability of all of the
entities comprising the Borrower. The respective obligations of the Lenders
hereunder are several and not joint, and no Lender shall be the partner or agent
of any other (except to the extent to which the Agent is authorized to act as
such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder
shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This
Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any
Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors
and assigns.

      SECTION 13.09. SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or the Notes is held invalid, illegal or

affected or impaired thereby.

      SECTION 13.10. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which may be executed by one or more of the parties

      SECTION 13.12. THE COMPANY AS AGENT FOR EACH OTHER BORROWER. Each of the
entities comprising the Borrower hereby appoints the Company as their agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any and all documents for an on behalf
of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any of the other Facility B Loan Documents, or in connection with
the amendment, modification or termination of any thereof, and hereby agree that
upon execution of any such documents or instruments they shall be binding upon
each of the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees that the Lenders may rely upon
written representations from the Company that it is acting on behalf of the
Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.12 until such time
as it receives notice in writing from the Borrower of the termination of the
designation of the Company as agent an attorney-in-fact for each Borrower.

      SECTION 13.13. LOSS, ETC., NOTES. Upon receipt by the Borrower of
reasonably satisfactory evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of any of the Notes, upon reimbursement to the Borrower of all reasonable
expenses incidental thereto and upon surrender and cancellation of the relevant
Note, if mutilated, the Borrower shall make and deliver in lieu of that Note
(the "Prior Note") a new Note of like tenor, except that no reference need be
made in the new Note to any installment or installments of principal, if any,
previously due and paid upon the Prior Note. Any Note made and delivered in
accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be dated as of the date to
which interest has been paid on the unpaid principal amount of the Prior Note.

                                       72

<PAGE>

      SECTION 13.14. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to
extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition
provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

taxes on the overall net income of any Lender) or other similar assessments or
charges payable or ruled payable by any governmental authority in respect of the
Facility B Loan Documents shall be paid by the Borrower, together with interest
and penalties, if any.

      SECTION 13.16. HEADINGS. Section headings in the Facility B Loan Documents
are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation
of any of the provisions of the Facility B Loan Documents.

      SECTION 13.17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the fees payable by Borrower to First Chicago in
consideration of its agreement to serve as Agent hereunder are set forth in a
separate letter agreement between Borrower and First Chicago.

      SECTION 13.18. CHOICE OF LAW. THE FACILITY B LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN
THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF
CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS
APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

      SECTION 13.19. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

      SECTION 13.20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND EACH
LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN

                                       73
