     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and
covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

                          THE CREDITS

     Amounts and Terms of Commitments  Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms
and conditions set forth herein, to make Loans to the Company from time to time
on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving
Termination Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding
the amount set forth on Schedule 2.01 (such amount, as the same may be reduced
under Section 2.05 or as a result of one or more assignments under
Section 10.08, the Bank's "Commitment"); provided, however, that, after giving
effect to any Borrowing, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans
shall not at any time exceed the combined Commitments.  Within the limits of
each Bank's Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof,
the Company may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.06 and
reborrow under this Section 2.01.

     Loan Accounts     (a) The Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by one
or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Bank in the ordinary course
of business.  The loan accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Bank
shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the
Banks to the Company and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure so to
record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect
the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to
the Loans.

                 Upon the request of any Bank made through the Agent, the Loans
made by such Bank may be evidenced by one or more Notes, instead of or in
addition to loan accounts.  Each such Bank shall endorse on the schedules
annexed to its Note(s) the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and
the amount of each payment of principal made by the Company with respect
thereto.  Each such Bank is irrevocably authorized by the Company to endorse its
Note(s) and each Bank's record shall be conclusive absent manifest error;
provided, however, that the failure of a Bank to make, or an error in making, a
notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect
the obligations of the Company hereunder or under any such Note to such Bank.

     Procedure for Borrowing.  (a) Each Borrowing shall be made upon the
Company's irrevocable written (or irrevocable notice via telephone confirmed
immediately by a facsimile provided such notice is confirmed with an original
written notice sent by mail or courier) notice delivered to the Agent in the
form of a Notice of Borrowing (which notice must be received by the Agent prior
to 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) (i) three Business Days prior to the requested
Borrowing Date, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans; and (ii) on the Business Day
that is the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans,
specifying:

                           the amount of the Borrowing, which shall be in an
            aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any multiple of $100,000
            in excess thereof;

                           the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a
            Business Day;

                           the Type of Loans comprising the Borrowing; and

                           the duration of the Interest Period applicable to
            such Loans included in such notice.  If the Notice of Borrowing
            fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any
            Borrowing comprised of Offshore Rate Loans, such Interest Period
            shall be three months.

provided, however, that with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Closing
Date, the Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to the Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. (San Francisco time) one Business Day before the Closing Date and such
Borrowing will consist of Base Rate Loans only.

                 The Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of any
Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Bank's Pro Rata Share of that
Borrowing.

                 Each Bank will make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of each
Borrowing available to the Agent for the account of the Company at the Agent's
Payment Office by 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the Borrowing Date
requested by the Company in funds immediately available to the Agent.  The
proceeds of all such Loans will then be made available to the Company by the
Agent at such office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of
BofA with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by the Banks
and in like funds as received by the Agent.

                 After giving effect to any Borrowing, unless the Agent shall
otherwise consent, there may not be more than eight different Interest Periods
in effect.

            Conversion and Continuation Elections (a) The Company may, upon
irrevocable written notice (or irrevocable notice via telephone confirmed
immediately by a facsimile provided such notice is confirmed with an original
written notice sent by mail or courier) to the Agent in accordance with
subsection 2.04(b):

                   elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate
     Loans, or as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, in the case
     of any other Type of Loans, to convert any such Loans (or any part thereof
     in an amount not less than $1,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple
     of $100,000 in excess thereof) into Loans of any other Type; or

                   elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period,
     to continue any Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any
     part thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000, or that is in an
     integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof);

provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of Offshore Rate Loans in
respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of
part thereof to be less than $1,000,000, such Offshore Rate Loans shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right
of the Company to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, Offshore
Rate Loans shall terminate.

                 The Company shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation
to be received by the Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) at
least (i) three Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if
the Loans are to be converted into or continued as Offshore Rate Loans; and
(ii) on the  Business Day that is the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans
are to be converted into Base Rate Loans, specifying:

                           the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date;

                           the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or
            continued;

                           the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed
            conversion or continuation; and

                           other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate
            Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period.

                 If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to
Offshore Rate Loans, the Company has failed to select timely a new Interest
Period to be applicable to such Offshore Rate Loans, or, subject to Subsection
2.04(e) wherein the Majority Banks may direct otherwise, if any Default or Event
of Default then exists, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to convert
such Offshore Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration
date of such Interest Period.

                 The Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by the
Company, the Agent will promptly notify each Bank of the details of any
automatic conversion.  All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with
respect to which the notice was given held by each Bank.

                 Unless the Majority Banks otherwise consent, during the
existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Company may not elect to have a
Loan converted into or continued as an Offshore Rate Loan.

                 After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans,
unless the Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than eight
different Interest Periods in effect.

     Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  The Company may, upon
not less than five Business Days' prior notice to the Agent, terminate the
Commitments, or permanently reduce the Commitments by an aggregate minimum
amount of $5,000,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; unless,
after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Loans made on the
effective date thereof, the then-outstanding principal amount of the Loans would
exceed the amount of the combined Commitments then in effect.  Once reduced in
accordance with this Section, the Commitments may not be increased.  Any
reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to each Bank according to its Pro
Rata Share.  All accrued commitment fees to, but not including the effective
date of any termination of Commitments, shall be paid on the effective date of
such termination.

            Optional PrepaymentsSubject to Section 3.04, the Company may, at any
time or from time to time, upon not less than (a) three Business Days' (in the
case of Offshore Rate Loans) and (b) the same Business Day's (in the case of
Base Rate Loans) irrevocable notice to the Agent, ratably prepay Loans in whole
or in part, in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 or any multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof.  Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid.  The Agent will promptly
notify each Bank of its receipt of any such notice, and of such Bank's Pro Rata
Share of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Company, the Company
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall
be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest
to each such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to
Section 3.04.

     RepaymentThe Company shall repay to the Banks on the Revolving Termination
Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date.

            Interest (a) Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum
equal to the Offshore Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be (and subject to
the Company's right to convert to other Types of Loans under Section 2.04), plus
the Applicable Margin.

                 Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date.  Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of
Loans under Section 2.06 for the portion of the Loans so prepaid and upon
payment (including prepayment) in full thereof and, during the existence of any
Event of Default, interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request
or with the consent of the Majority Banks.

                 Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, while any Event
of Default exists or after acceleration, the Company shall pay interest (after
as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on
the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations, at a rate per annum which
is determined by adding 1.50% per annum to the Applicable Margin then in effect
for such Loans and, in the case of Obligations not subject to an Applicable
Margin, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 1.50%; provided,
however, that, on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to
any Offshore Rate Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of such Event of
Default or acceleration, the principal amount of such Loan shall, during the
continuation of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 1.50%.

                 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
obligations of the Company to any Bank hereunder shall be subject to the
limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for
which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent)
that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Bank would be contrary to
the provisions of any law applicable to such Bank limiting the highest rate of
interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Bank,
and in such event the Company shall pay such Bank interest at the highest rate
permitted by applicable law.

            Fees a) Arrangement, Agency Fees.  The Company shall pay an
arrangement fee to the Arranger for the Arranger's own account, and shall pay an
agency fee to the Agent for the Agent's own account, as required by the letter
agreement ("Fee Letter") between the Company and the Arranger and Agent dated
December 13, 1995.

                 Commitment FeesThe Company shall pay to the Agent for the
account of each Bank a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of
such Bank's Commitment, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last
Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon the daily utilization for that
quarter as calculated by the Agent, equal to .125 percent per annum.  Such
commitment fee shall accrue from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination
Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day
of each calendar quarter commencing on March 31, 1996 through the Revolving
Termination Date, with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Termination
Date; provided that, in connection with any reduction or termination of
Commitments under Section 2.05, the accrued commitment fee calculated for the
period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of such reduction or
termination, with the following quarterly payment being calculated on the basis
of the period from such reduction or termination date to such quarterly payment
date.  The commitment fees provided in this subsection shall accrue at all times
after the above-mentioned commencement date, including at any time during which
one or more conditions in Article IV are not met.


     Computation of Fees and Interest.  (a) All computations of fees and
interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by BofA's
"reference rate" shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of interest shall
be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).
Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such
fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

                 Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company and the Banks in the absence of manifest
error.

            Payments by the Company (a) All payments to be made by the Company
shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.  Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by the Company shall be made to the
Agent for the account of the Banks at the Agent's Payment Office, and shall be
made in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 10:00 a.m.
(San Francisco time) on the date specified herein.  The Agent will promptly
distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as
expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received.  Any
payment received by the Agent later than 10:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) shall
be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable
interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

                 Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of
"Interest Period" herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest
or fees, as the case may be.

                 Unless the Agent receives notice from the Company prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Banks that the Company will not make
such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that the Company
has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available
funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Bank.  If and to the extent the Company has not made such
payment in full to the Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Agent on demand such
amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest thereon at the Federal
Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank
until the date repaid.

            Payments by the Banks to the Agent (a) Unless the Agent receives
notice from a Bank on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any
Borrowing after the Closing Date, at least by 9:30 a.m. (San Francisco time) on
the date of such Borrowing, that such Bank will not make available as and when
required hereunder to the Agent for the account of the Company the amount of
that Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Bank
has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on
the Borrowing Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such date a corresponding
amount.  If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount
available to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent in such
circumstances has made available to the Company such amount, that Bank shall on
the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the
Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such
period.  A notice of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts
owing under this subsection (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  If
such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute
such Bank's Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.
If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day following
the Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify the Company of such failure to fund
and, upon demand by the Agent, the Company shall pay such amount to the Agent
for the Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed
since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

                 The failure of any Bank to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date
shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on
such Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date.

            Sharing of Payments, Etc  If, other than as expressly provided
elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder), such Bank shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of
such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Banks such participations in the
Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share
the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or
any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing
Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Bank shall
repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price paid therefor, together with an
amount equal to such paying Bank's ratable share (according to the proportion of
(i) the amount of such paying Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The
Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.10) with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the
Company in the amount of such participation.  The Agent will keep records (which
shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of
participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the
Banks following any such purchases or repayments.

     Extension of Termination Date.  Upon (a) the written request of the
Company, received by the Agent not sooner than ninety (90) days nor later than
sixty (60) days prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (and, if
extended, thereafter at any time during the third month prior to the then
current Revolving Termination Date), and (b) the written concurrence of all the
Banks (in the sole discretion of each Bank) which is received by the Agent not
later than thirty (30) days prior to the then current Revolving Termination
Date, the Revolving Termination Date shall be extended for an additional one-
year period commencing on the then current Revolving Termination Date.  In the
event such written concurrence from each and every one of the Banks is not
received by the Agent on or before thirty (30) days prior to the then current
Revolving Termination Date (after receipt by the Agent of such request from the
Company), the Revolving Termination Date shall not be extended.  The Agent will
promptly notify each Bank of the receipt by it of a request under this
subsection.

             TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

            Taxes (a) Subject to subsection 3.01(g), any and all payments by the
Company to each Bank or the Agent under this Agreement shall be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the
Agent, such taxes (including income taxes or franchise taxes including any
interest or penalties thereon) as are imposed on or measured by each Bank's net
income by any jurisdiction (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as "Taxes").

                 In addition, the Company shall pay any present or future stamp
or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

                 Subject to subsection 3.01(g), the Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless each Bank and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other
Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by the Bank or the
Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  Payment under this
indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date the Bank or the Agent
makes written demand therefor.

                 If the Company shall be required by law to deduct or withhold
any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any
Bank or the Agent, then, subject to subsection 3.01(g):

                   the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
     after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable
     to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) and giving effect
     to the tax benefits such Bank or the Agent of such deduction or
     withholding (to the extent such benefits are reasonably determined
     without undue effort by the Agent or such Bank) such Bank or the
     Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it
     would have received had no such deductions been made;

                   the Company shall make such deductions, and

                   the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the
     relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
     applicable law.

                 Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Company of
Taxes or Other Taxes, the Company shall furnish to the Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of
payment satisfactory to the Agent.

                 Each Bank which is a foreign Person (i.e., a Person other than
a United States Person for United States federal income tax purposes) agrees
that:

                   it shall, no later than the Closing Date (or, in the
     case of a Bank which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 10.08
     after the Closing Date, the date upon which the Bank becomes a party
     hereto), deliver to the Company through the Agent two accurate and
     complete signed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or any
     successor thereto ("Form 4224"), or two accurate and complete signed
     originals of Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or any successor
     thereto ("Form 1001"), as appropriate, in each case indicating that
     the Bank is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive
     payments of principal, interest and fees under this Agreement free
     from withholding of United States federal income tax;

                   if at any time the Bank makes any changes necessitating
     a new form, it shall with reasonable promptness deliver to the Company
     through the Agent in replacement for, or in addition to, the forms
     previously delivered by it hereunder, two accurate and complete signed
     originals of Form 4224, or two accurate and complete signed originals
     of Form 1001, as appropriate, in each case indicating that the Bank is
     on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive payments of
     principal, interest and fees under this Agreement free from
     withholding of United States federal income tax;

                   it shall, before or promptly after the occurrence of any
     event (including the passing of time but excluding any event mentioned
     in (ii) above) requiring a change in the most recent Form 4224 or Form
     1001 previously delivered by such Bank and if the delivery of the same
     be lawful, deliver to the Company through the Agent two accurate and
     complete original signed copies of Form 4224 or Form 1001 in
     replacement for the forms previously delivered by the Bank; and

                   it shall, promptly upon the Company's reasonable request
     to that effect, deliver to the Company such other forms or similar
     documentation as may be required from time to time by any applicable
     law, treaty, rule or regulation in order to establish such Bank's tax
     status for withholding purposes.

                 The Company will not be required to pay any additional amounts
in respect of United States federal income tax pursuant to subsection 3.01(d) to
any Bank for the account of any Lending Office of such Bank:

                   if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would
     not have arisen but for a failure by such Bank to comply with its
     obligations under subsection 3.01(f) in respect of such Lending
     Office;

                   if such Bank shall have delivered to the Company a Form
     4224 in respect of such Lending Office pursuant to subsection
     3.01(f)(i), and such Bank shall not at any time be entitled to
     exemption from deduction or withholding of United States federal
     income tax in respect of payments by the Company hereunder for the
     account of such Lending Office for any reason other than a change in
     United States law or regulations or in the official interpretation of
     such law or regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with the
     interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the
     force of law) after the date of delivery of such Form 4224; or

                   if the Bank shall have delivered to the Company a Form
     1001 in respect of such Lending Office pursuant to subsection
     3.01(f)(i), and such Bank shall not at any time be entitled to
     exemption from deduction or withholding of United States federal
     income tax in respect of payments by the Company hereunder for the
     account of such Lending Office for any reason other than a change in
     United States law or regulations or any applicable tax treaty or
     regulations or in the official interpretation of any such law, treaty
     or regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with the
     interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the
     force of law) after the date of delivery of such Form 1001.

                 If the Company is required to pay additional amounts to any
Bank or the Agent pursuant to subsection 3.01(d), then such Bank shall use its
reasonable best efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to
change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such addi
tional payment by the Company which may thereafter accrue if such change in the
judgment of such Bank is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

                 The agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this
Section 3.01 shall survive the payment in full of all other Obligations.

     Illegality (a) If any Bank determines that the introduction of any
Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it
unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make
Offshore Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Bank to the Company through
the Agent, any obligation of that Bank to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be
suspended until the Bank notifies the Agent and the Company that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

                 If a Bank determines that it is unlawful to maintain any
Offshore Rate Loan, the Company shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact
and demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), prepay in full such
Offshore Rate Loans of that Bank then outstanding, together with interest
accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 3.04, either on the last day
of the Interest Period thereof, if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain
such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loan.  If the Company is
required to so prepay any Offshore Rate Loan, then concurrently with such
prepayment, the Company shall borrow from the affected Bank, in the amount of
such repayment, a Base Rate Loan.

                 If the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Offshore Rate
Loans has been so terminated or suspended, the Company may elect, by giving
notice to the Bank through the Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be
made by the Bank as Offshore Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

                 Before giving any notice to the Agent under this Section, the
affected Bank shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its
Offshore Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such
notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Bank, be
illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Bank.

     Increased Costs and Reduction of (a) If any Bank determines that, due to
either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of
imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of
the Offshore Rate or in respect of the assessment rate payable by any Bank to
the FDIC for insuring U.S. deposits) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Bank with any guideline or request
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Bank of agreeing
to make or making, funding or maintaining any Offshore Rate Loans, then the
Company shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a
copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account
of such Bank, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Bank for
such increased costs.

                 If any Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of
any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy
Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any
Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by
the Bank (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Bank with
any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by the Bank or any corporation controlling
the Bank and (taking into consideration such Bank's or such corporation's
policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Bank's desired return on
capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a
consequence of its Commitment, loans, credits or obligations under this
Agreement, then, upon written demand of such Bank to the Company through the
Agent, the Company shall pay to the Bank, from time to time as specified by the
Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for such increase.
Any such Bank shall notify the Company in writing of its intent to demand such
compensation under this Section 3.03.

     Funding LossesThe Company agrees to reimburse each Bank and to hold each
Bank harmless from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur as
follows:

                 upon the failure of the Company to borrow (including for
purposes of continuing or converting) any Offshore Rate Loan after the Company
has given a Notice of Borrowing with respect to Loans for any reason (including
the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), the Company shall, on
demand by each Bank, pay such Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the interest
which would have been payable on such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the amount the
Company failed to borrow had such Bank's Pro Rata Share of such amount been
borrowed and outstanding for the Interest Period specified in the request for
such Borrowing exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by
such Bank by placing such unborrowed amount on deposit in the LIBOR markets for
the Interest Period specified in the request for such Borrowing;

                 upon the failure of the Company to make any prepayment of a
Loan after the Company has given notice in accordance with Section 2.06 for any
reason, the Company agrees to reimburse each such Bank on demand for any loss,
cost or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur, including any such loss,
cost or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained
by it to maintain its Offshore Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained;

                 upon the conversion of an Offshore Rate Loan or the prepayment
of an Offshore Rate Loan in each case on a day which is not the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto for any reason (including conversions
pursuant to subsection 3.02(b)), the Company shall, on demand by such Bank, pay
such Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would
have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the
last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been
recoverable by such Bank by placing the amount so received on deposit in the
LIBOR markets for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and
ending on the last day of such Interest Period.

            This covenant shall survive the payment in full of all other
Obligations.

     Inability to Determine Rates  If the Majority Banks determine that for any
reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Offshore
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate
Loan, or that the Offshore Rate applicable pursuant to subsection 2.08(a) for
any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Offshore Rate Loan does
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of funding such Loan,
the Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Bank.  Thereafter, the
obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans, as the case may
be, hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent, upon the instruction of the
Majority Banks, revokes such notice in writing.  Upon receipt of such notice,
the Company may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it.  If the Company does not revoke
such Notice, the Banks shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by
the Company, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the
Company, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans
instead of Offshore Rate Loans.

     Invoices of BanksAny Bank claiming reimbursement or compensation under this
Article III shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Agent) a written
invoice of all such amounts as may be due together with a reasonably detailed
calculation and explanation of the amount payable to the Bank hereunder, which
amount shall be paid by the Company within 30 days of the date of invoice
provided, however, that the Company shall have no liability for any amounts
attributable to a period more than three months prior to invoice date in respect
thereof.

            SurvivalThe agreements and obligations of the Company in this
Article III shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

            Replacement Bank (a) If any Bank demands compensation under
Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03, the Company may, subject to the provisions of
subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 3.08, remove such Bank ("Removed Bank")
and designate another bank acceptable to the Agent, or, if BofA is the Removed
Bank, acceptable to the Banks ("Replacement Bank"), to purchase the Removed
Bank's share of the Credit, and to assume all of the Removed Bank's obligations
under this Agreement.

                 Each substitution under subsection 3.08(a) shall be made upon
the irrevocable written notice of the Company received by Agent and Removed Bank
at least ten days prior to the date thereof (a "Notice of Substitution").  The
Notice of Substitution shall identify the Removed Bank, the Replacement Bank and
the effective date of the substitution.

                 The substitution specified in each Notice of Substitution shall
take effect as of the date specified in such Notice of Substitution subject to
the conditions precedent that the following are complied with or exist on and as
of such date:

                   No Loan is to be made on the effective date of the
     substitution and there is no pending request for a Loan;

                   The Replacement Bank has purchased all of Removed Bank's
     share of the Credit and interest in this Agreement for a price equal
     to all principal, interest and commitment fees outstanding on such
     Removed Bank's share of the Credit on and as of the effective date of
     the substitution;

                   The Replacement Bank has assumed by an agreement in form
     and substance satisfactory to Removed Bank and Agent, or, if BofA is
     the Removed Bank in form and substance satisfactory to the Banks, all
     of Removed Bank's commitment to extend credit and other obligations
     under this Agreement; and

                   There exists no Default or Event of Default.

contemplated at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental
Authority, against the Company, or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
properties which:  (i) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement, or any
Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; or
(ii) if determined adversely to the Company, or its Subsidiaries, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 No injunction, writ, temporary restraining order or any order
of any nature has been issued by any court or other Governmental Authority
purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or directing that the transactions
provided for herein or therein not be consummated as herein or therein provided.

     No DefaultNo Default or Event of Default exists or would result from the
incurring of obligations by the Company under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.  Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, is in default under
or with respect to any Contractual Obligation in any respect which, individually
or together with all such defaults, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

            ERISA Compliance

                 Schedule 5.07 lists all Plans and separately identifies Plans
intended to be Qualified Plans and Multiemployer Plans.

                 Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the
applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state law,
including all requirements under the Code or ERISA for filing reports (which are
true and correct in all material respects as of the date filed), and benefits
have been paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan except where
failure to comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 With respect to each Plan intended to qualify under the Code,
the Company or a member of its Controlled Group has applied to the Internal
Revenue Service for an advance determination letter to the effect that such Plan
and related trust are so qualified and, to the best knowledge of the Company, no
circumstances exist that would adversely affect the issuance of such letter or
such qualification (other than changes required to be made pursuant to the Tax
Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent laws and regulations, which will be made
within the applicable remedial amendment period under section 401(b) of the
Code).

                 Except as set forth on Schedule 5.07, no Plan subject to Title
IV of ERISA has any Unfunded Pension Liability.

                 Except as set forth in Schedule 5.07, no member of the
Controlled Group has ever represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral
or written form) to any current or former employee (either individually or to
employees as a group) that such current or former employee(s) would be provided,
at any cost to any member of the Controlled Group, with life insurance or
employee welfare plan benefits (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA)
following retirement or termination of employment.  To the extent that any
member of the Controlled Group has made any such representation, promise or
contract, such member has expressly reserved the right to amend or terminate
such life insurance or employee welfare plan benefits with respect to claims not
yet incurred.

                 Members of the Controlled Group have complied in all material
respects with the notice and continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B
of the Code.

                 Except as set forth in Schedule 5.07, no ERISA Event has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan.

                 There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company,
threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, other than routine claims for benefits
in the usual and ordinary course and claims that are not reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect, asserted or instituted against (i) any Plan
maintained or sponsored by the Company or its assets, (ii) any member of the
Controlled Group with respect to any Qualified Plan, or (iii) any fiduciary with
respect to any Plan for which the Company may be directly or indirectly liable,
through indemnification obligations or otherwise.

                 Except as set forth in Schedule 5.07, neither the Company nor
any ERISA Affiliate has incurred nor reasonably expects to incur (i) any
liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under
Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Section 4201 or
4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan or (ii) any liability under
Title IV of ERISA (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007
of ERISA) with respect to a Plan.

                 Except as set forth in Schedule 5.07, neither the Company nor
any ERISA Affiliate has transferred any Unfunded Pension Liability outside of
the Controlled Group or otherwise engaged in a transaction that could be subject
to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

                 No member of the Controlled Group has engaged, directly or
indirectly, in a non-exempt prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4975
of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) in connection with any Plan which has a
reasonable likelihood of having a Material Adverse Effect.

     Use of Proceeds; Margin RegulationsThe proceeds of the Loans are to be used
solely for the purposes set forth in and permitted by Section 6.12 and
Section 7.08.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is generally engaged in
the business of purchasing or selling Margin Stock or extending credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.

     Title to PropertiesThe Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good record
and marketable title in all their real property, except for Permitted Liens and
such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.

            Taxes.  The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all federal and
other material tax returns and reports required to be filed and have paid all
federal and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental
charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets other
wise due and payable except those which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided in
accordance with GAAP and no Notice of Lien has been filed or recorded.  There is
no proposed tax assessment against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which
would, if the assessment were made, have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change

                 The unaudited consolidated financial statements of financial
condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries dated September 30, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the fiscal period ended on that date:

                   were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
     applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise
     expressly noted therein;

                   are complete, accurate and fairly present the financial
     condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof
     and results of operations for the period covered thereby, subject to
     normal year-end audit adjustments; and

                   show all material indebtedness and other material
     liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Company and its consolidated
     Subsidiaries as of the date thereof (including material liabilities
     for taxes and material commitments) all as required by GAAP for year-
     end reporting in accordance with the Company's past practices.

                 Except as disclosed in writing to the Agent and the Banks prior
to the Closing Date, since September 30, 1995, there has occurred no event or
circumstance that has resulted or will result (assuming for this purpose that no
unanticipated mitigating circumstances will arise) in a material adverse change
with respect to any of (i) the operations, business, properties or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries taken
as a whole; (ii) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the
Loan Documents without default; or (iii) the legality, validity, binding effect
or enforceability of any Loan Document.

            Environmental Matters.  Except as specifically identified in
Schedule 5.12:

                 the operations of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
comply in all respects with all Environmental Laws except such non-compliance
which would not result in liability in excess, in the aggregate, of 5% of the
Company's Tangible Net Worth;

                 the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all
licenses, permits, authorizations and registrations required under any
Environmental Law ("Environmental Permits") necessary for their operations, and
all such Environmental Permits are in good standing, and the Company and each of
its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all terms and conditions of such
Environmental Permits, except such Environmental Permits of which the failure to
obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

                 as of the Closing Date, neither the Company, nor any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their present property or operations is in violation of
any outstanding written order from or agreement with any Governmental Authority
or other Person which expressly mentions the Company or such Subsidiary, nor
subject to any judicial or docketed administrative proceeding, respecting any
Environmental Law, Environmental Claim or Hazardous Material.  After the Closing
Date, other than violations or proceedings which could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company, nor any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their present property or operations is in violation of
any outstanding written order from or agreement with any Governmental Authority
or other Person which expressly mentions the Company or such Subsidiary, nor
subject to any judicial or docketed administrative proceeding, respecting any
Environmental Law, Environmental Claim or Hazardous Material.

            Regulated Entities.  None of the Company, any Person controlling the
Company, or any Subsidiaries of the Company, (a) is an "Investment Company"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940; or (b) is limited in
its ability to incur Indebtedness under the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1935, the federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any state public
utilities code or any other federal or state statute or regulation.

            No Burdensome RestrictionsNeither the Company, nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any Contractual Obligation or subject to
any charter or corporate restriction or any Requirement of Law which would
probably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

            SolvencyThe Company is Solvent.

     Error! Bookmark not defined.  Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks and Licenses,
Etc. The Company or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries owns or is licensed or
otherwise has the right to use all of the patents, trademarks, service marks,
trade names, copyrights, franchises, authorizations and other rights the absence
of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
the operation of their respective businesses.  As of the Closing Date, except
where such infringement would not have a Material Adverse Effect, to the best
knowledge of the Company, no slogan or other advertising device, product,
process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now
contemplated to be employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries infringes
upon any rights owned by any other Person.  Except as set forth on Schedule
5.05, as of the Closing Date, no claim or litigation regarding any of the
foregoing is pending or threatened, and no patent, invention, device,
application, principle or any statute, law, rule, regulation, standard or code
is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, proposed, which, in either case,
would be likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     SubsidiariesAs of the Closing Date, the Company has no Subsidiaries other
than those listed on Schedule 5.17(a) hereto, and has no equity investments in
any other corporation or entity that would constitute an Affiliate (other than
Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.17(a)) except as listed on Schedule 5.17(b)
hereto.

            Full DisclosureNone of the representations or warranties made by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Loan Documents as of the date of such
representations and warranties, and none of the statements contained in each
Exhibit, Schedule, report, statement or certificate furnished by or on behalf of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Loan Documents,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

            Each notice under this Section shall be accompanied by a written

foreseeably will be) breached or violated.

            Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc. The Company shall and
(with respect to clauses (a), (b) and (c)) shall cause each of its Material
Subsidiaries to:

                 with respect to the Company, preserve and maintain in full
force and effect its corporate existence and good standing under the laws of its
state or jurisdiction of incorporation and, with respect to the Material
Subsidiaries, preserve and maintain in full force and effect the corporate
existence and good standing under the laws of each state or jurisdiction of
incorporation except where failure to take such actions could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

                 preserve and maintain in full force and effect all rights,
privileges, qualifications, permits, licenses and franchises necessary or
desirable in the normal conduct of its business except in connection with
(i) dispositions of assets permitted by Section 7.02, (ii) transactions
permitted by Section 7.03, and (iii) dissolution or abandonment of any
Subsidiary in compliance with either Section 7.02 or 7.03, and the failure to
maintain such rights, privileges, qualifications, permits, licenses and
franchises would not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, nothing
set forth herein shall limit the application of Section 7.02 or 7.03;

                 preserve or renew all of its registered trademarks, trade names

its business and the goodwill of its business.

            Maintenance of PropertyThe Company shall maintain, and shall cause
each Subsidiary to maintain, and preserve all its property which is used or
useful in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and

customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business,
of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar
circumstances by such other Persons; provided, however, the Company and its
Subsidiaries may, with the prior consent of the Majority Banks (which consent
may be withheld in their reasonable credit judgment in light of prevailing
credit standards), substitute for or augment any insurance with self-insurance;
provided, further, that such self-insurance is adequate in view of the risks and
financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries at such time and is in
accordance with customary industry standards; and provided, further, that, for

for employee medical insurance and disability insurance in effect as of the
Closing Date are approved.

            Payment of ObligationsThe Company shall, and shall cause each
Subsidiary to, pay and discharge as the same shall become due and payable, all
their respective obligations and liabilities, including:

                 all material tax liabilities, assessments and governmental
charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets, unless the same are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves in
accordance with GAAP are being maintained by the Company or such Subsidiary;

                 all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien
upon its property, other than Permitted Liens; and

                 all Indebtedness, as and when due and payable, but subject to
any subordination provisions contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing
such Indebtedness, except (i) where the amount or validity thereof is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or as to which a bona fide
dispute may exist and provision has been made in conformity with GAAP with
respect thereto, or (ii) to the extent the failure to pay is due to a good faith
error omission and will not in any event have a Material Adverse Effect.
     Compliance with Laws.  The Company shall comply, and shall cause each
Subsidiary to comply, in all material respects with all Requirements of Law of
any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business
(including the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act), except such as may be
contested in good faith or as to which a bona fide dispute may exist.

consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters
involving the assets and business of the Company and such Subsidiary.  The
Company shall permit representatives and independent contractors of the Agent or
any Bank to visit and inspect any of their respective properties, to examine
their respective corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies
thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss their respective affairs,
finances and accounts with their respective directors, officers, and independent
public accountants, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as
often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the
Company; provided, however, when an Event of Default exists the Agent or any
Bank may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Company at any time
during normal business hours and without advance notice.

            Environmental LawsThe Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary
to, conduct its operations and keep and maintain its property in compliance with
all Environmental Laws.

            Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of the Loans for

Document.

                           THE AGENT

            Appointment and Authorization; "Agent.  Each Bank hereby irrevocably
(subject to Section 9.09) appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other
Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set tc forth herein, nor shall the
Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against the Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference
to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended
to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties.

     Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with
reasonable care.
     Liability of Agent.  None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them under
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Banks for any
recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or any officer thereof, contained in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Company or any
other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder.  No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Bank
to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any
of the Company's Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

            Reliance by Agent.  (a) The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone
message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel
to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate
and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of
the Majority Banks and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Banks.

                 For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Section 4.01, each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter either sent by the Agent to such Bank for consent,
approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to
or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Bank.

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

            Credit Decision.  Each Bank acknowledges that none of the
Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no
act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation
or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank.  Each Bank represents to
the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related
Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition and credit worthiness of the
Guarantor, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory
laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision
to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Company hereunder.
Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary
to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition and credit worthiness of the Company and the Guarantor.
Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be
furnished to the Banks by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition or credit worthiness of the Company which may come into the possession
of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

     Indemnification of Agent.  The Banks shall indemnify upon demand the
Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the
Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), pro rata,
from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no
Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion
of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Bank shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company.  The undertaking in
this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the
resignation or replacement of the Agent.

            Agent in Individual Capacity.  BofA and its Affiliates may make
loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though BofA were not the Agent hereunder and
without notice to or consent of the Banks.  The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant
to such activities, BofA or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the
Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Subsidiary) and
acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such
information to them.  With respect to its Loans, BofA shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Bank" and "Banks" include BofA in
its individual capacity.

            Successor AgentThe Agent may, and at the request of the Majority
Banks shall, resign as Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Banks.  If the Agent
resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the
Banks a successor agent for the Banks.  If no successor agent is appointed prior
to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint,
after consulting with the Banks and the Company, a successor agent from among
the Banks.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder,
such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the
retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated.
After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date
which is 30 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the
retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and
the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such
time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for
above.

            Withholding Tax (a) If any Bank is a "foreign corporation,
partnership or trust" within the meaning of the Code and such Bank claims
exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or
1442 of the Code, such Bank agrees with and in favor of the Agent, to deliver to
the Agent:

                   if such Bank claims an exemption from, or a reduction of,
     withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, two properly completed
     and executed copies of IRS Form 1001 before the payment of any interest in
     the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each
     third succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid under this
     Agreement;

                   if such Bank claims that interest paid under this Agreement
     is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively
     connected with a United States trade or business of such Bank, two properly
     completed and executed copies of IRS Form 4224 before the payment of any
     interest is due in the first taxable year of such Bank and in each
     succeeding taxable year of such Bank during which interest may be paid
     under this Agreement; and

                  (iii) such other form or forms as may be required under the
     Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from,
     or reduction of, United States withholding tax.

Such Bank agrees to promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances
which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

                 If any Bank claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form 1001 and such Bank
sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of
the Obligations of the Company to such Bank, such Bank agrees to notify the
Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of
Obligations of the Company to such Bank.  To the extent of such percentage
amount, the Agent will treat such Bank's IRS Form 1001 as no longer valid.

                 If any Bank claiming exemption from United States withholding
tax by filing IRS Form 4224 with the Agent sells, assigns, grants a
participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of the
Company to such Bank, such Bank agrees to undertake sole responsibility for
complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and
1442 of the Code.

                 If any Bank is entitled to a reduction in the applicable
withholding tax, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank
an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account
such reduction.  However, if the forms or other documentation required by
subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to the Agent, then the Agent
may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank not providing such forms or
other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax
imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.

                 If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United
States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank (because the
appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such
Bank failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other
reason) such Bank shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly
or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and
interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts
payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses
(including Attorney Costs).  The obligation of the Banks under this subsection
shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement
of the Agent.

                         MISCELLANEOUS

     Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any
departure by the Company therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be
in writing and signed by the Majority Banks (or by the Agent at the written
request of the Majority Banks) and the Company and acknowledged by the Agent,
and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that
no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all
the Banks and the Company and acknowledged by the Agent, do any of the
following:

            increase or extend the Commitment of any Bank (or reinstate any
Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.02);

            postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan
Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to
the Banks (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

            reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on
any Loan, or (subject to clause (ii) below) any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

            change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Loans which is required for the Banks or any of them to
take any action hereunder;

            amend this Section, or Section 2.13, or any provision herein
providing for consent or other action by all Banks;

            modify the definition of "Majority Banks"; or

            waive any Event of Default under Sections 8.01(k) or (l);

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Majority Banks or all the
Banks, as the case may be, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) the Fee Letter may be amended, or
rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the parties
thereto.

          Notices.  (a) Except as set forth in subsection 10.02(c), all notices,
requests, consents, approvals, waivers and other communications shall be in
writing (including, unless the context expressly otherwise provides, by
facsimile transmission, provided that any matter transmitted by the Company by
facsimile shall be followed promptly by delivery of a hard copy original
thereof) and mailed, faxed or delivered, to the address or facsimile number
specified for notices on Schedule 10.02; or, as directed to the Company or the
Agent, to such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written
notice to the other parties, and as directed to any other party, at such other
address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Company
and the Agent.  All notices to the Company shall be sent to 16215 Alton Parkway,
Irvine, CA 92718, Attention: Treasurer (telecopy: 714-727-8584; telephone:
714-727-7717).

            Except as set forth in subsection 10.02(c), all such notices,
requests and communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, or
faxed, be effective when delivered for overnight (next-day) delivery, or
transmitted in legible form by facsimile machine, respectively, or if mailed,
upon the third Business Day after the date deposited into the U.S. mail, or if
delivered, upon delivery; except that notices pursuant to Article II or IX to
the Agent shall not be effective until actually received by the Agent.

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may
borrow, continue or convert Loans via telephonic communication so long as such
telephonic communication is followed by facsimile confirmation thereof by no
later than 11:00 a.m. ( San Francisco time) on the same day.

            Any agreement of the Agent and the Banks herein to receive certain
notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the
request of the Company.  The Agent and the Banks shall be entitled to rely on
the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Company
to give such notice and the Agent and the Banks shall not have any liability to
the Company or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the
Agent or the Banks in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice except
for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent and the
Banks.  The obligation of the Company to repay the Loans shall not be affected
in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Agent and the Banks to receive
written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the
Agent and the Banks of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms
understood by the Agent and the Banks to be contained in the telephonic or
facsimile notice.

          No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay
in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Bank, any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof;  nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
power or privilege.

          Costs and ExpensesThe Company shall:

            pay or reimburse BofA (including in its capacity as Agent) promptly
after written demand (subject to subsection 4.01(f)) for all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by BofA (including in its capacity as Agent) in connection
with the administration and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to
(in each case, whether or not consummated), this Agreement, any Loan Document
and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including
reasonable Attorney Costs incurred by BofA (including in its capacity as Agent)
with respect thereto; and

            pay or reimburse the Agent, the Arranger and each Bank promptly
after written demand (subject to subsection 4.01(f)) for all reasonable costs
and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by them in connection with the
enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document during the existence of an Event
of Default or after acceleration of the Loans (including in connection with any
"workout" or restructuring regarding the Loans, and including in any Insolvency
Proceeding or appellate proceeding).

     Company IndemnificationThe Company shall indemnify, defend and hold the
Agent-Related Persons, and each Bank and each of its respective officers,
directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an
"Indemnified Person") harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following
repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the
Agent or replacement of any Bank)  be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions
contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or
in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any
investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or
appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans
or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a
party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities");
provided, that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified
Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in
this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

          Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment to
the Agent or the Banks, or the Agent or the Banks exercise their right of set-
off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or
such Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to
the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each
Bank severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its pro rata share of any
amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent.

     Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Agent and each Bank.

     Assignments, Participations, Etc. (a) Any Bank may, with the written
consent of the Company at all times other than during the existence of an Event
of Default and the Agent, which consent of the Company and the Agent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, at any time assign and delegate to one or more
Eligible Assignees (provided that no written consent of the Company or the Agent
shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Bank to
an Eligible Assignee that is an Affiliate of such Bank) (each an "Assignee")
all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other
rights and obligations of such Bank hereunder, in a minimum amount of
$10,000,000; provided, however, that the Company and the Agent may continue to
deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with the interest so
assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together
with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the
Assignee, shall have been given to the Company and the Agent by such Bank and
the Assignee; (ii) such Bank and its Assignee shall have delivered to the
Company and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit G
("Assignment and Acceptance") together with any Note or Notes subject to such
assignment and (iii) the assignor Bank or Assignee has paid to the Agent a
processing fee in the amount of $3,500.

            From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Bank
that it has received (and provided its consent with respect to) an executed
Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee,
(i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank under
the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Bank shall, to the extent that rights
and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned
by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

            Within ten Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Agent
that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the
processing fee, (and provided that it consents to such assignment in accordance
with subsection 10.08(a)), the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent,
new Notes evidencing such Assignee's assigned Loans and Commitment and, if the
assignor Bank has retained a portion of its Loans and its Commitment,
replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Loans retained by the assignor
Bank (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes held by
such Bank).  Immediately upon each Assignee's making its processing fee payment
under the Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be
amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition
of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising
therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such
Commitments of the assigning Bank pro tanto.

            Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or
other Persons not Affiliates of the Company (a "Participant") participating
interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Bank and the other interests of
that Bank (the "originating Bank") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;
provided, however, that (i) the originating Bank's obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Bank shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Company and the
Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Bank in
connection with the originating Bank's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Bank shall transfer or grant
any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any
amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver
would require unanimous consent of the Banks as described in the first proviso
to Section 10.01. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall
not have any rights under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents,
and all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be determined as if such
Bank had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under
this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have
become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent
as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a
Bank under this Agreement.

            Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Bank may
at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its
rights under and interest in this Agreement and the Note held by it in favor of
any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S.
Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may
enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under
applicable law.

     ConfidentialityEach Bank agrees to take and to cause its Affiliates to take
normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the
confidentiality of all non-public information provided to it by the Company or
any Subsidiary, or by the Agent on the Company's or such Subsidiary's behalf,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its
Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in
enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with
other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Company or any
Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Bank, or
(ii) was or becomes available on a  non-confidential basis from a source other
than the Company, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality
agreement with the Company known to the Bank; provided, however, that any Bank
may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement
of any Governmental Authority to which the Bank is subject or in connection with
an examination of such Bank by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or
other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the
provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably
required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Agent, any
Bank or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably
required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any
other Loan Document; (F) to such Bank's independent auditors and other
professional advisors who are bound by an ethical obligation of confidentiality
(it being understood that no written confidentiality agreements are required to
be obtained from such auditors or other professional advisors); (G) to any
Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, provided that such Person agrees
in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of
the Banks hereunder; (H) as to any Bank or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted
under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to
which the Company or any Subsidiary is party or is deemed party with such Bank
or such Affiliate; and (I) to its Affiliates.

          Set-offIn addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by
law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Bank
is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the
Company, any such notice being waived by the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other
indebtedness at any time owing by, such Bank to or for the credit or the account
of the Company against any and all Obligations owing to such Bank, now or
hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Bank shall
have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such
Obligations may be contingent or unmatured.  Each Bank agrees promptly to notify
the Company and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such
Bank; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application.  All set-offs shall benefit each
Bank in accordance with its Pro Rata Share and the Banks shall share any set-
offs among the Banks accordingly.

          Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc.  Each Bank shall
notify the Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to
the Bank should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment
instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such
other administrative information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

          CounterpartsThis Agreement may be executed in any number of separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and
all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one
and the same instrument.

          SeverabilityThe illegality or unenforceability of any provision of
this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in
any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

          No Third Parties BenefitedThis Agreement is made and entered into for
the sole protection and legal benefit of the Company, the Banks, the Agent and
the Agent-Related Persons, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no
other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any
direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents.

     Governing Law and Jurisdiction (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA; PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT AND THE BANKS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS
ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR

OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.  THE COMPANY, THE AGENT AND
THE BANKS EACH WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER
PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY CALIFORNIA LAW.

     Waiver of Jury TrialTHE COMPANY, THE BANKS AND THE AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON
OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER
LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR

CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE.  THE COMPANY, THE BANKS AND THE
AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A
COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER
AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF
