   THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT is dated as of November 22, 1995
and amended and restated as of October 17, 1997, among WILMINGTON TRUST
COMPANY, not in its individual capacity except as expressly stated herein, but
solely as Owner Trustee (the "Owner Trustee" or the "Borrower"), the several
banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties to this
Agreement (the "Lenders"), PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative
agent for the Lenders hereunder (the "Administrative Agent"), THE FIRST
NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO, as syndication agent of the Lenders hereunder (the
"Syndication Agent"), and BANKERS TRUST COMPANY, as real estate administrative
agent for the Lenders hereunder (the "Real Estate Administrative Agent"; and
together with the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent, collectively
referred to as the "Agents").

                                  WITNESSETH:

   WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Real Estate Administrative Agent, as agent, the
Administrative Agent, as co-agent and the Lenders (collectively, the "Prior
Agreement Parties") are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of
November 22, 1995 (as heretofore amended, the "Prior Agreement");

   WHEREAS, the Prior Agreement Parties desire to amend and restate the Prior
Agreement to (i) increase the aggregate amount of Commitments and extend the
Maturity Date, (ii) change the agency role of PNC Bank, National Association as
co-agent to Administrative Agent, (iii) change the agency role of Bankers Trust
Company from agent to Real Estate Administrative Agent, (iv) add The First
National Bank of Chicago as Syndication Agent, (v) eliminate and add certain
financial institutions as Lenders, and (vi) amend certain other terms and
conditions of the Prior Agreement.

   NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained
and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


                                   ARTICLE I.
                              CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

   1.1   Certain Definitions.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A hereto.

   1.2   Accounting Principles.  Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, all computations and determinations as to accounting or financial
matters and all financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement
shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP (including principles of
consolidation where appropriate), and all accounting or financial terms shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP; provided, however, that if
any change in GAAP or the application thereof occurs hereafter, or if the
Company adopts a change to its accounting principles or methods with the
agreement of its independent certified public accountants, and such change
results in a change in the calculation of any financial covenant or restriction
set forth herein, then the parties hereto agree to enter into and diligently
pursue negotiations in order to amend such


<PAGE>   7

financial covenant or restriction so as to equitably reflect such change, with
the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be the same
after such change as if such change had not been made.  Pending the resolution
of any such negotiations, the Company agrees to provide to each of the Lenders
such unaudited financial information and pro forma statements using the
accounting methods and principles used in the preparation of the audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 26, 1997, as are
necessary to enable the Lenders to test the financial covenants contained
herein.


                                  ARTICLE II.
                        AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

   2.01(a)   Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and
relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender
severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower at any time or
from time to time from and including the Effective Date but excluding the date
which is one month prior to the Maturity Date for the purpose of enabling the
Borrower to make Project Loans to the Lessors acceptable to the Real Estate
Administrative Agent for financing the Project Costs or to Agree SPC's
acceptable to the Real Estate Administrative Agent who will make capital
contributions to Agree Lessors to pay Project Costs, in an aggregate principal
amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the amount of such Lender's
Commitment minus in the case of the Swing Lender, the Swing Loans outstanding.
After giving effect to any such Revolving Credit Loans and any other Loans made
on or before the Borrowing Date of such Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate
amount of the Total Facility Usage shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the
Commitments.  Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
pursuant to this Section 2.01.

   2.01(b)  Prior Revolving Credit Loans. Schedule 2.01(b) lists the Revolving
Credit Loans outstanding for each Lender under the Prior Agreement prior to the
Effective Date (the "Prior Revolving Credit Loans") and the Revolving Credit
Loans to be outstanding for each Lender hereunder as of the Effective Date.  On
the Effective Date, any such Prior Revolving Credit Loans which are held by a
Prior Lender which will continue to be a Lender on and after the Effective Date
shall be deemed to continue as Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder.  Any
principal balance of the Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes includes the
Borrower's indebtedness under the Prior Revolving Credit Loans evidenced by the
original Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes (the "Original Notes") and the
Amended and Restated Tranche A Notes and Amended and Restated Tranche B Notes
executed in connection with this Agreement (i) merely re-evidence the
indebtedness evidenced by the Original Notes, (ii) are not given as payment of
the Original Notes and (iii) are in no way intended to or shall, constitute a
novation of the Original Notes or any obligation of the Borrower thereunder.
Any Prior Lender which has determined not to continue to be a Lender after the
Effective Date will be repaid its Revolving Credit Loans in full and the
Borrower will pay such Prior Lender up to but not including the Effective Date
the amount of all interest, Fees and additional costs described in Section
5.06(b) owing to any such Prior Lender.  Any Lender hereunder which was not a
Prior Lender or any Prior Lender that has increased its Commitment as of the
Effective Date shall purchase from Prior Lenders or other Lenders hereunder

<PAGE>   8




such Revolving Credit Loans in an amount such that, after the Effective Date,
the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans from each Lender shall equal
such Lender's respective Ratable Share, as modified to give effect to the
Effective Date, of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.  To the extent that any
Prior Revolving Credit Loans bear interest at the Euro-Rate Option, the
Borrower shall pay any additional costs described in Section 5.06(b) incurred
by any Lender, and the Borrower shall pay any similar additional costs incurred
by any Lender which becomes or continues to be a Lender on and after the
Effective Date and assumes or funds a portion of any Revolving Credit Loan for
the remainder of an Interest Period which is outstanding on the Effective Date.

   2.02   Revolving Credit Loan Requests.  (a)  Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the Maturity Date request
the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans, or renew or convert the Interest
Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans, by delivering to the
Administrative Agent, not later than 10:00 A.M. Eastern time, ten (10) Business
Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of each
Revolving Credit Loan (provided that, so long as the applicable Lessee shall
have waived the conditions precedent set forth in Schedule 11.02 to the
Participation Agreement pursuant to Section 11.02 thereto (other than in
connection with an Acquisition Advance), (i) three (3) Business Days prior to
the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit
Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior
to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit
Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies), of a duly completed request
therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit B or a request by telephone
immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex in such form
(each, a "Revolving Credit Loan Request"), it being understood that the
Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a
telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written
confirmation.  Each Revolving Credit Loan Request shall be irrevocable and
shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of the
proposed Revolving Credit Loans comprising each Borrowing Tranche, which,
except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10, shall not be less than
$5,000,000, for each Euro-Rate Borrowing Tranche and shall not be less than the
lesser of $1,000,000 or the maximum amount available for borrowing for each
Base Rate Borrowing Tranche; (iii) whether the Euro-Rate Option or Base Rate
Option shall apply to the proposed Revolving Credit Loans comprising the
Borrowing Tranche; and (iv) in the case of a Euro-Rate Borrowing Tranche an
appropriate Interest Period for the proposed Revolving Credit Loans comprising
such Borrowing Tranche.

   (b)   A portion of the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made
by each Lender equal to the Tranche A Percentage of the principal amount of
such Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed to be a "Tranche A Loan" for the
purposes of the Operative Agreements and the remaining portion of the principal
amount of such Loan shall be deemed to be a "Tranche B Loan" for the purposes
of the Operative Agreements, provided, that payments in respect of the
Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to reduce the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans of each Lender in the
manner specified in Section 5.02.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any date
(each, a "Modification Date") on which any payment of the Tranche A Loans or
Tranche B Loans is to be made and/or on which any Maximum Residual Guarantee
Amount with respect to any Property is to be determined, prior to giving effect
to such payment or determination, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Tranche
B Loans then outstanding


<PAGE>   9




shall be deemed to be increased (or decreased, in the event that the applicable
Modification Amount shall be a negative number) by an amount (the "Modification
Amount") equal to (x) the Modified Tranche B Percentage with respect to the
affected Property minus the Tranche B Percentage multiplied by (y) the
outstanding principal amount of the Project Loan with respect to such Property
(or, if there shall be more than one affected Property, the sum of all such
amounts for all such Properties) and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of
Tranche A Loans then outstanding shall be deemed to be reduced or increased, as
the case may be, by a corresponding amount.  Any such adjustment shall be
applied ratably to adjust the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A
Loans and Tranche B Loans deemed to have been made by each Lender.

   (c)   Notwithstanding anything contained in subsection (b) above, the entire
principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made by each Lender which is
allocated to make an Agree Project Loan by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a
Tranche A Loan.

   2.03   Making Revolving Credit Loans.  The Administrative Agent shall,
promptly after receipt by it of a Revolving Credit Loan Request pursuant to
Section 2.02(a), notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Revolving Credit
Loan Request specifying:  (i) the proposed Borrowing Date and the time and
method of disbursement of such Revolving Credit Loans; (ii) the aggregate
amount and type of such Revolving Credit Loans and the applicable Interest
Period (if any); and (iii) the apportionment among the Lenders of the Revolving
Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with each
Lender's Ratable Share.  Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each
Revolving Credit Loan to be made by it to the Administrative Agent such that
the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the
extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose, fund such
Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately
available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 P.M. Eastern time on the
Borrowing Date, provided, that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the
Administrative Agent in a timely manner the Administrative Agent may elect in
its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Credit Loan of
such Lender on the Borrowing Date and such Lender shall be subject to the
repayment obligation in Section 10.11.

   2.04   Notes.  The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A-1, in the case of Tranche A Loans (each, a "Tranche A Note"), or
Exhibit A-2, in the case of Tranche B Loans (each, a "Tranche B Note"), with
appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount, payable to the
order of such Lender and in a principal amount equal to the lesser of (a) the
initial Commitment of such Lender and (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of all Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, as the case may be, made by such
Lender.  Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the date, the Borrowing
Tranche and amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made by such Lender, each
continuation thereof, each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another
Borrowing Tranche, the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of
principal thereof and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans with Euro- Rate
Option, the length of each Interest Period with respect thereto, on the
schedule annexed to and constituting a part of its Note, and any such
recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the
information so recorded, provided, that the failure to make any such
recordation or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower's
obligations hereunder or under such Note.  Each Note shall (i) be dated the
Effective Date, (ii) be

<PAGE>   10




stated to mature on the Maturity Date and (iii) provide for the payment of
interest in accordance with Section 4.01.

   2.05   Nature of Lenders' Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Article VII), each Lender
shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans in
accordance with its Ratable Share.  The obligations of each Lender hereunder
are several.  The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder
shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor shall
any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its
obligations hereunder.  The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving
Credit Loans hereunder on or after a date which is one month prior to the
Maturity Date.

   2.06   Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  The Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days' prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent to permanently reduce, in whole
multiples of $1,000,000 of principal, or to terminate the Commitments without
penalty or premium, except as set forth in Section 5.06(b)(i), provided, that
any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by (i) the payment in
full of any Fees then accrued on the amount of such reduction or termination
and (ii) prepayment of the Loans, together with the full amount of interest and
Fees accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in
Section 5.06), to the extent that the Total Facility Usage exceeds the
Commitments as so reduced or terminated, and provided, further, that after
giving effect to any reduction of Commitments, the aggregate amount of the
Project Loan Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the
Commitments so reduced.  If at any time the Commitments are reduced to an
amount which is less than the Swing Facility then in effect, the Swing Facility
shall automatically, without notice of any kind, be reduced to the amount of
the Commitments then in effect.

   2.07   Fees.

   (a)   The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender, as consideration for such Lender's Commitment, a
nonrefundable facility fee ("Facility Fee") calculated on a daily basis by
multiplying the Facility Fee Rate by such Lender's Commitment (whether used or
unused).  All Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business
Day of each March, June, September and December after the Effective Date and on
the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Obligations.  The Facility Fee
Rate shall be subject to adjustment quarterly to the percentage, based on the
higher of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as set forth on Schedule I hereto,
or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as set forth on Schedule I to the Corporate
Credit Agreement.  Each adjustment in the Facility Fee Rate shall be effective
on the second Business Day next following delivery to the Administrative Agent
of the financial statements or certificate required to be delivered by the
Company pursuant to Article XIII of the Guarantee showing the basis for such
adjustment.  In the event that such financial statements or certificate shall
not have been delivered to the Administrative Agent on the date required for
such delivery pursuant to Article XIII of the Guarantee, then on the second
Business Day following such date, the Facility Fee Rate shall be increased to
the highest Facility Fee Rate set forth on Schedule I hereto or Schedule I to
the Corporate Credit Agreement, provided, that after delivery of such financial
statements or



<PAGE>   11




certificate (effective two Business Days following delivery) the Facility Fee
Rate shall be adjusted to the Facility Fee Rate that would have been effective
had such financial statements or certificate been timely delivered.
   
   (b)   All Fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the
actual number of days elapsed.

   2.08   Use of Proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans.  The Administrative Agent
is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to apply the proceeds of the
Revolving Credit Loans to fund any Project Loans as requested by any Lessor
under any Project Loan Agreement or by any Agree SPC under any Agree Project
Loan Agreement.

   2.09  [Reserved]

   2.10  Advances to Pay Interest.  During the Construction Period for a
Project Loan, if any, on each date which is one Business Day prior to any
Interest Payment Date (unless otherwise requested by the Borrower at least one
Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date by written notice to the
Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a
borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a) of a Revolving Credit Loan with a
Base-Rate Option in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest due and
payable on such date with respect to the principal portion of the Loans
allocated to the related Project Loan; provided, that if (a) such Interest
Payment Date falls upon the same day as the last day of an Interest Period and
(b) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a renewal/conversion
notice described in Section 2.02(a) requesting continuation of the Euro-Rate
Borrowing Tranche with respect to which the Interest Period is ending on such
Interest Payment Date, on the day which is three Business Days prior to such
Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a
borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a) of a Loan with a Euro-Rate Option in an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest due and payable on such date
with respect to the principal portion of the Loans allocated to the related
Project Loan.  One Business Day, in the case of a Loan with a Base-Rate Option
or three Business Days, in the case of a Loan with a Euro-Rate Option, prior to
such Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a notice indicating the amount of such interest.  The Borrowing Date with
respect to any such borrowing shall be the relevant Interest Payment Date;
provided, that the making of the Loans pursuant to such borrowing shall be
subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article VII and the proceeds of such borrowing shall be applied solely to pay
the aggregate amount of interest due and payable on such date with respect to
the Loans.  On the relevant Borrowing Date, the aggregate principal amount of
the Euro-Rate Borrowing Tranche with respect to which the Interest Period is
being continued or the Base Rate Borrowing Tranche, as the case may be, shall
be deemed to be increased by the amount of the new Loan made on such day.

                     AMOUNT AND TERMS OF SWING SUB-FACILITY

   3.01  Swing Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including
fulfillment of those conditions set forth in Article VII, as applicable, which
conditions may not be waived without the consent of each Lender) and relying
upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, and in order to
facilitate loans and repayments, the Swing Lender may, at its option,
cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make Swing Loans to the
Borrower at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, but not
including, the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time
outstanding not to exceed $15,000,000, subject to reduction as provided herein,
to be made in accordance with the following provisions, and provided, that the
Swing Loans outstanding hereunder shall not exceed the Swing Lender's
Commitment minus its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans.  Within such limits of
time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the
Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 3.01.

   3.02  Swing Loan Requests and Making of Swing Loans.  (a)  Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the
Maturity Date request the Swing Lender to make Swing Loans by delivery to the
Swing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than 11:00
A.M. Eastern time, ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date
with respect to the making of each Swing Loan (provided that, so long as the
applicable Lessee shall have waived the conditions precedent set forth in
Schedule 11.02 to the Participation Agreement pursuant to Section 11.02 thereto
(other than in connection with an Acquisition Advance), one (1) Business Day
prior to the proposed Borrowing Date), of a duly completed request therefor
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto or a request by telephone
immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex (each, a "Swing
Loan Request"), it being understood that the Swing Lender (and the
Administrative Agent) may rely on the authority of any individual making such a
telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written
confirmation.  Each Swing Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify
the proposed Borrowing Date and the aggregate amount of the proposed Swing
Loans.  So long as the Swing Lender elects to make Swing Loans, the Swing
Lender shall fund such Swing Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and
immediately available funds at the Principal Office of the Swing Lender prior
to 2:00 P.M. Eastern time on the Borrowing Date.

   (b)   A portion of the principal amount of each Swing Loan made by the Swing
Lender equal to the Tranche A Percentage of the principal amount of such Swing
Loan shall be deemed to be a "Tranche A Loan" for the purposes of the Operative
Agreements and the remaining portion of the principal amount of such Swing Loan
shall be deemed to be a "Tranche B Loan" for the purposes of the Operative
Agreements.  The provisions of Section 2.02(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis to
the Swing Loans made by the Swing Lender.

   3.03  Swing Note.  The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note
of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3, with appropriate
insertions (the "Swing Note"), payable to the order of the Swing Lender and
representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Swing Loans, with interest thereon as prescribed


<PAGE>   13



in Section 4.05.  The Swing Lender is hereby authorized to record the borrowing
date, the amount of each Swing Loan and the date and amount of each payment or
prepayment of principal thereof, on the schedule annexed to and constituting a
part of the Swing Note and, in the absence of manifest error, any such
recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the
information so recorded, provided, that the failure of the Swing Lender to make
such recordation (or any error in such recordation) shall not affect the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under such Note.  The Swing Note shall
(i) be dated the Effective Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the Maturity Date
and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Section 4.05.

   3.04  Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.  (a)  The Swing Lender, at its option
exercisable at any time, may, and so long as there shall be at least
$10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding, on the
last day of any Interest Period immediately following the making of such Swing
Loans, shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the
Swing Lender to act on its behalf) request each Lender, including the Swing
Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving
Credit Lender's Ratable Share of the amount of the Swing Loans, (the "Refunded
Swing Loans") outstanding on the date such notice is given plus, if the Swing
Lender so requests, accrued interest thereon.  The Refunded Swing Loans shall
bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly
requested in accordance with Section 2.02 without regard to any of the
requirements of that provision.  Unless any of the events described in
paragraph (h) of Article IX shall have occurred (in which event the procedures
of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.04 shall apply), the Swing Lender shall
provide notice to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall
provide notice to the Lenders (which may be a telephonic or written notice by
letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made
under this Section 3.03 and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the
Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans
(whether or not the conditions specified in Section 7.02 are then satisfied) by
the time the Administrative Agent so requests, which shall not be earlier than
12:00 noon Eastern time on the Business Day next succeeding the date the
Administrative Agent gives the demand notice to the Lenders.  If for any reason
a Lender is prohibited from funding its Ratable Share of Revolving Credit Loans
to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans outstanding, such Lender shall
purchase a participation in the Swing Loans equal to its Ratable Share of the
principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding in accordance with paragraph (b) of
this Section 3.04.  The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be
immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Loans.

   (b)   If, prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 3.04, one of the events described in paragraph
(h) of Article IX shall have occurred, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on
the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made, purchase an
undivided participating interest in the Refunded Swing Loan in an amount equal
to its Ratable Share of such Refunded Swing Loan.  Each Revolving Credit Lender
will immediately transfer to the Swing Lender, in immediately available funds,
the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Lender will
deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Swing Loan Participation Certificate
dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

  (c)  Whenever, at any time after the Swing Lender has received from any
Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender's participating interest
in a Refunded Swing

<PAGE>   14




Loan pursuant to clause (b) above, the Swing Lender receives any payment on
account thereof, the Swing Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit
Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in
the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Revolving Credit Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded) in
like funds as received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment
received by the Swing Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit
Lender will return to the Swing Lender any portion thereof previously
distributed by the Swing Lender to it in like funds as such payment is required
to be returned by the Swing Lender.

   (d)   Each Lender's obligation to make its Ratable Share of Revolving Credit
Loans to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans outstanding or to
purchase its Ratable Share of the principal amount of the Swing Loans pursuant
to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.04 shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be subject to any qualification or exception
whatsoever and shall be made under all circumstances, including without
limitation any of the following circumstances:  (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents; (ii) the
existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may
have at any time against any of the Agents, any Lender or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein
or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); or (iii) the occurrence of any
Default, Event of Default, or termination of the Commitments or this Agreement.

   3.05  Use of Proceeds of Swing Loans.  The proceeds of the Swing Loans
hereunder shall be used by the Borrower for any purpose for which the proceeds
of Revolving Credit Loans may be used.  The Swing Lender and/or Administrative
Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to apply the proceeds of
the Swing Loans to fund any Project Loans as requested by any Lessor under any
Project Loan Agreement.


                                  ARTICLE IV.
                                 INTEREST RATES

   4.01  Interest Rate Options on Revolving Credit Loans.  The Borrower shall
pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans as selected by the Borrower from the Base Rate Option or
the Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans,
it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the
Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options to apply simultaneously to
the Revolving Credit Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may
convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or
any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche;
provided, that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than six (6)
Euro-Rate Borrowing Tranches, and provided, further, that from and after one
month prior to the Maturity Date, Revolving Credit Loans shall be made only at
the Base Rate Option.

   (a)   Interest Rate Option.  The Borrower shall have the right to select
from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit
Loans:


<PAGE>   15




        (i)  Base Rate Option:  A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the
    basis  of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days 
    elapsed) equal to the Base Rate;

        (ii)  Euro-Rate Option:  A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a
    year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the
    Euro- Rate Margin.  The Euro-Rate Margin shall be subject to adjustment
    quarterly to the percentage, based on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as
    set forth on Schedule I.  Each adjustment in the Euro-Rate Margin shall be
    effective on the second Business Day next following delivery to the
    Administrative Agent of the financial statements or certificate required to
    be delivered by the Company pursuant to Article XIII of the Guarantee
    showing the basis for such adjustment.  In the event that such financial
    statements or certificate shall not have been delivered to the
    Administrative Agent on the date required for such delivery pursuant to
    Article XIII of the Guarantee, then on the second Business Day following
    such date, the Euro-Rate Margin shall be increased to the highest Euro-Rate
    Margin set forth on Schedule I, provided, that after delivery of such
    financial statements or certificate (effective two Business Days following
    delivery) the Euro-Rate Margin shall be adjusted to the Euro-Rate Margin
    that would have been effective had such financial  statements or certificate
    been timely delivered.  Each Euro-Rate Borrowing Tranche shall bear interest
    from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
    but not including the last day of such Interest Period.  No Interest Period
    may end after the Maturity Date.

   (b)   Rate Quotations.  The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or
before the date on which a Revolving Credit Loan Request is to be delivered to
receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that
such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the
election is made.

   4.02  [Reserved]

   4.03  Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
Available.  (a)  If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be
determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

        (i)  adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such
    Euro-Rate, or

        (ii)  a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects
    the London interbank market or any other applicable interbank market, the
    Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.03(c).


<PAGE>   16




   (b)   If at any time any Lender shall have determined that:

        (i)  the making, maintenance or funding of any Revolving Credit Loan to
    which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by
    compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation
    or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or
    directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
    force of Law), or

        (ii)  such Euro-Rate option will not adequately and fairly reflect the
    cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such
    Revolving Credit Loan, or

        (iii)  after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant
    amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Revolving Credit
    Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies are not available to such Lender in
    the London interbank market at the effective cost of funding of a proposed
    Euro-Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in
    Section 4.03(c).

   (c)   In the case of any event specified in Section 4.03(a) above, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower
thereof and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.03(b) above, such
Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and enclose a
certificate with such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and
certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon such date as shall be
specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice
is given) the obligation of (A) the Lenders in the case of such notice given by
the Administrative Agent or (B) such Lender in the case of such notice given by
such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate
Option shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later
notified the Borrower or such Lender shall have later notified the
Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's, as the
case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous
determination no longer exist.  If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a
determination under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 4.03 and the Borrower
has previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of,
conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Euro-Rate Option has
not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for
selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option.  If any Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under subsection (b) of
this Section 4.03, the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower's
indemnification obligations under Section 5.06(b), as to any Revolving Credit
Loan of the Lender to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified
in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option or prepay such
Loan in accordance with Section 5.04(b). Absent due notice from the Borrower of
conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the
Base Rate Option upon such specified date.

   4.04  Selection of Interest Rate Options.  Revolving Credit Loans for which
the Borrower has selected the Base Rate Option shall continue as such unless
and until the Borrower chooses to convert such Revolving Credit Loans to a
Euro-Rate Borrowing Tranche.  If Borrower


<PAGE>   17




fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche at the
expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Rate
Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(a), the
Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Euro-Rate Borrowing Tranche to
the Base Rate Option commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest
Period.

   4.05  Interest Rates Payable on Swing Loans.  The Borrower shall pay
interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of any Swing
Loan at a fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360
days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Swing Margin.

   4.06  Interest After Default.  To the extent permitted by Law, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived:

   (a)   the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to
  Section 4.01 or 4.05 shall be increased by 2.0% per annum; and

   (b)   each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear
  interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus an
  additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and
  payable and until it is paid in full.

   (c)   The Borrower acknowledges that such increased rates reflect, among
  other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a
  substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders
  are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and, all such interest
  shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand by the Administrative Agent.

   4.07  Maximum Interest Rate.  If at any time the designated rate applicable
to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender's highest lawful rate, the
rate of interest on such Lender's Loan shall be limited to such Lender's
highest lawful rate.

   4.08  Interest Under Project Loan Agreement.  At such times when the
Borrower receives payments of interest on a Project Loan pursuant to a Project
Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly deposit such amount with the
Administrative Agent who will deposit such payment in the Credit Agreement
Account.  Such payments shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of
Article XI.


                                   ARTICLE V.
                                    PAYMENTS

   5.01  Payments.  All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of
principal, interest, Fees or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder
shall be payable prior to 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the date when due without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower, and without setoff, counterclaim or other

<PAGE>   18




deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue.  Such
payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office in
U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly distribute such amounts in immediately available funds,
provided, that in the event payments are received by 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time)
by the Administrative Agent and such payments are not distributed on the same
day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay
the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments
for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the
Lenders.  Unless the Interest Period in respect thereof is continued or
converted in accordance with Section 4.02, all Revolving Credit Loans to which
a Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of the
applicable Interest Period.  All Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date shall
be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

   5.02  Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.  Each borrowing of Revolving Credit
Loans shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and
each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and
each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest,
Fees, or other amounts due with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans (except
for Fees payable under the Fee Letter, any payments with respect to the Swing
Loans, and except as otherwise provided in Section 4.03(b), 5.04(b), 5.06 or
Article XI) shall be made in proportion to the applicable Revolving Credit
Loans outstanding from each Lender and if no such Loans are then outstanding,
in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Lender (it being understood that,
except as otherwise provided in Section 5.06 or Article XI, any payment so made
in respect of principal of any Lender's Revolving Credit Loans shall be deemed
to ratably reduce the outstanding amount of Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans
of such Lender).

   5.03  Interest Payment Dates.  Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate
Option or the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on
the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December after the
Effective Date and on the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the
Obligations.  Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 2.06
shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due.  Interest on the
principal amount of each Loan or other Obligation shall be due and payable on
demand after such principal amount or other Obligation becomes due and payable
(whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).
Interest on amounts covered by optional prepayments shall be paid in accordance
with Section 5.04(a).

   5.04  Optional Prepayments.  (a)  The Borrower shall have the right at its
option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium
or penalty (except as provided in subsection (b) below or in Section 5.05 or
5.06):

         (i)  at any time with respect to any Swing Loan or any Revolving Credit
    Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies;

         (ii)  on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to
    Revolving Credit Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies; and



<PAGE>   19





        (iii)  on the date specified in a notice by any Lender pursuant to
    Section 4.03(b) with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan to which a
    Euro-Rate Option applies.

   Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, the Borrower
shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent at least one (1)
Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Loans setting forth the
following information:

        (x)  the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed
    prepayment is to be made;

        (y)  a statement indicating the application of the prepayment among the
    Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; and

        (z)  the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be
    less than $2,500,000.

   All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable.  The principal amount of the
Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such
principal amount, except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option
applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment
notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made.  If the
Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche
which is being prepaid, the prepayment shall be applied (i) first to Swing
Loans and then to Revolving Credit Loans; and (ii) after giving effect to the
allocations in clause (i) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans
to which the Base Rate Option applies and then to Loans to which the Euro-Rate
Option applies (it being understood that, except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.06 or Article XI, any payment so made in respect of principal of any
Lender's Revolving Credit Loans shall be deemed to ratably reduce the
outstanding amount of Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans of such Lender).  Any
prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower's obligation to indemnify
the Lenders under Section 5.06(b).

   (b)   In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 4.03(b) or
Section 5.06(a), (ii) does not fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making
of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Lender, (iii) does
not approve any action as to which consent of the Required Lenders is requested
by the Borrower and obtained hereunder or (iv) becomes subject to the control
of an Governmental Authority (other than normal and customary supervision),
then, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrower shall have the right at its option, with the consent of the
Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to prepay the
Loans of such Lender in whole together with all interest accrued thereon and
terminate such Lender's Commitment, within ninety (90) days after (w) receipt
of such Lender's notice under Section 4.03(b) or 5.06(a), (x) the date such
Lender has failed to fund Revolving Credit
Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene a Law applicable to
such Lender, (y) the



<PAGE>   20




date of obtaining the consent which such Lender has not approved or (z) the
date such Lender became subject to the control of an Governmental Authority, as
applicable; provided, that the Borrower shall also pay to such Lender at the
time of such prepayment any amounts required under Section 5.06 and any accrued
interest due on such amount and any related Fees; and provided, further, that
the remaining Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to increase their
Commitments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may only
be replaced subject to the requirements of Section 10.09.

   (c)   In the event any Lender does not approve any increase in the aggregate
Commitments as to which increase the Borrower has obtained the consent of all
other Lenders whose Commitments will not otherwise be prepaid and terminated
pursuant to this Section 5.04(c), then, unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the right at its option,
with the consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, to prepay the Loans of such Lender in whole together with all
interest accrued thereon and terminate such Lender's Commitment (or Lenders'
Commitments) within ninety (90) days after the date the Borrower has obtained
the consent of all such other Lenders; provided, that the termination of such
Lender's Commitment (or Lenders' Commitments) pursuant to this Section 5.04(c)
shall only be permitted if the Borrower has identified one or more Assignee
Lenders acceptable to the Administrative Agent which Assignee Lenders have
agreed to the increase in the aggregate Commitments and such termination is
accomplished by means of an assignment pursuant to Section 12.08(a) which does
not reduce the aggregate amount of the Commitments after giving effect to the
addition of any such Assignee Lenders; and provided, further, that the
remaining Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to increase their
Commitments.

   (d)   Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise
to increased costs or other special payments under Section 4.03 or 5.06 with
respect to such Lender, it will if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable
efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate
another Lending Office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such
designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Lending Office
suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, as determined by such
Lender, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to
the operation of such Section.  Nothing in this Section 5.04(d) shall affect or
postpone any of the Obligations of Borrower or the rights of any Agent or any
Lender provided in this Agreement.

   5.05  Mandatory Prepayments.   If the Borrower shall receive any principal
repayment of a Project Loan pursuant to a Project Loan Agreement, the Borrower
shall make a deposit of such payment with the Administrative Agent to be
applied as a prepayment of the Loans.  The Administrative Agent will deposit
such payment in the Credit Agreement Account to be applied as a prepayment of
the Loans in accordance with Article XI.

  5.06 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

   (a)   Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting From Taxes, Reserves,
Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc.  If any Law, guideline or
interpretation or any change in any Law, guideline or interpretation or
application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with


<PAGE>   21



the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any central bank or other
Governmental Authority:

        (i)  subjects any Lender to any tax or changes the basis of taxation
    with respect to this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, Loans, or
    payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, Fees, or other amounts due
    from the Borrower hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (except for
    taxes on the net income of such Lender or any Lending Office of any Lender),

        (ii)  imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit
    or similar requirement against credits or commitments to extend credit
    extended by, or assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with or for the
    account of, or other acquisitions of funds by, any Lender or any Lending
    Office of any Lender, or

        (iii)  imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy or
    similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or letters
    of credit, other credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, any
    Lender, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of any Lender or any
    Lending Office of any Lender under this Agreement, and the result of any of
    the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by,
    or impose any additional expense (including loss of margin) upon any Lender
    or any Lending Office of any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the
    other Credit Documents or the making, maintenance or funding of any part of
    the Loans (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar requirement,
    to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender's capital,
    taking into consideration such Lender's customary policies with respect to
    capital adequacy) by an amount which such Lender in its sole discretion
    deems to be material, such Lender shall from time to time notify the
    Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount determined in good faith
    (using any averaging and attribution methods employed in good faith) by such
    Lender to be necessary to compensate such Lender for such increase in cost,
    reduction of income or additional expense.  Such notice shall set forth in
    reasonable detail the basis for such determination.  Such amount shall be
    due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after
    such notice is given.

   (b)   Indemnity.  In addition to the compensation required by subsection (a)
of this Section 5.06, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against all
liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or expense
incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any loss
or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by a Lender to fund
or maintain Loans subject to the Euro-Rate Option) which such Lender sustains
or incurs as a consequence of any:

        (i)  payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Revolving Credit
    Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day
    of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or
    prepayment is


<PAGE>   22




    mandatory, voluntary or automatic, through acceleration or otherwise,
    and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due),

        (ii)  attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later
    inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Revolving Credit
    Loan Request under Section 2.02 or, Renewal/Conversion Notice under Section
    2.02 or prepayment notice under Section 5.04, or

        (iii)  default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of any
    covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Credit
    Document, including any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by
    acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, Fee or any other amount
    due hereunder.

   If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense it shall from time
to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such
Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs
and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem
reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense.
Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
determination.  Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such
Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

   (c)   Taxes.  Any and all payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under
the Credit Documents shall be made, in accordance with the provisions hereof,
free and clear of and without deduction 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 Lender and
each Lending Office, taxes on the overall net income of such Lender imposed by
the jurisdiction under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or any taxing
authority thereof or therein (all of such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as "Taxes").  If the Borrower shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from
or in respect of any sum payable to any Lender or any Agent hereunder or under
any Credit Document, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary
so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section 5.06(c)), such Lender or Agent,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions,
and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law.  In
addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, transfer,
recording, filing or documentary taxes, fees 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.  All such Taxes shall be paid by the Borrower prior
to the date on which penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon;
provided, that if any penalties or interest become due, the Borrower may make
prompt payment thereof to the appropriate governmental authority.  The Borrower
shall indemnify each Lender and each Agent for the full amount of such Taxes
(including any taxes on amounts payable under this Section 5.06(c)) paid by the
Lender or the Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
were



<PAGE>   23



correctly or legally asserted.  Any indemnification payment shall be due and
payable to such Lender or Agent ten (10) Business Days after the date the
Lender or the Agent makes written demand therefor.  Within 30 days after the
date of any payment of any Taxes by the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to
each Lender, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified
copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.  If no Taxes are payable in
respect of any payment by the Borrower, the Borrower shall, if so requested by
a Lender, provide a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to
that effect.

   (d)   Survival.  The Obligations of the Borrower under this Section 5.06
shall survive and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding (i) the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii)
the making of the Loans, (iii) the repayment of the Loans, (iv) the payment in
full of all interest, Fees and all other Obligations and (v) the termination of
all obligations of the Agents and the Lenders to the Borrower under all Credit
Documents.

adversely affect its ability, in its individual capacity or as Owner Trustee,
to perform its obligations under the Operative Agreements to which it is a
party, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the
Owner Trustee or would question the validity or enforceability of any of the
Operative Agreements to which it is or will become a party.

    voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
    or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, shall consent to the entry
    of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall
    consent to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator,

Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with

the Notes to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately
become due and payable (any of the foregoing occurrences or actions referred to

above in this Article IX, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of
any kind are hereby expressly waived.


                                   ARTICLE X.
                                   THE AGENTS

   10.01 Appointment.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Real Estate
Administrative Agent, as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the
other Operative Agreements, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each
Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions
of this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to each Agent by the
terms of this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.   Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, none of the Agents shall
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein,
or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or otherwise exist against
any Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the
term "agent" in this Agreement with the reference to the Agents 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.

  10.02  Delegation of Duties.  Each Agent may execute any of its duties under
this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties.  None of the Agents shall be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it
with reasonable care.

   10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.  None of the Agents nor any of their officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a)
liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such
Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Operative
Agreement (except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any
Guarantor or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection

<PAGE>   32




with, this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or for any failure of the Borrower
or any Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  None of
the Agents shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to
inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained
in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any Guarantor.

   10.04 Reliance by Agents.  Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message,
statement, order 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, independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Agents.  Each Agent may deem and
treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a
written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with the Administrative Agent.  Any Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of
the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified
to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action.  Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements
in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the
Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

   10.05 Notice of Default.  None of the Agents shall be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or
the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default".  In the event
that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders, the Syndication Agent and
the Real Estate Administrative Agent.  Each Agent shall take such action with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the
Required Lenders; provided, that unless and until such Agent shall have
received such directions, 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 in the best interests of the
Lenders.

   10.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that none of the Agents nor any of their officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations
or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including
any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Guarantor, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender.  Each
Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition



<PAGE>   33




and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Guarantors and made its own
decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each
Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent or any Lender, 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 Operative Agreements, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Guarantors.
Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Agents hereunder, none of the Agents shall have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Guarantor
which may come into the possession of any Agent or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

   10.07 Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify each Agent in its
capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the
Guarantors and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the
Guarantors to do so), ratably according to its Ratable Share in effect on the
date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 10.07 (or, if
indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have
terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance
with its Ratable Share immediately prior to such date), from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, or reasonable out-of- pocket costs, expenses or
disbursements, of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, at any
time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against any Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments,
this Agreement, any of the other Operative Agreements or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender
shall be liable to an Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements (a) if the same results from that Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if such Lender was not given notice of
the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at
its expense (except that such Lender shall remain liable to the extent such
failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Lender), or (c) if the
same results from a compromise and settlement agreement entered into without
the consent of such Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The
agreements in this Section 10.07 shall survive the payment of the Notes and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

   10.08 Agents in Their Individual Capacity.  The Agents and their Affiliates
may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower or any Guarantor as though the Agents were not
Agents hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements.  With respect to its
Loans made or renewed by it and any Note issued to it, the Agents shall have
the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an
Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Agents in their
individual capacity.


<PAGE>   34



   10.9  Successor Agents.  Any of the Agents (a) may resign as an Agent, or
(b) shall resign if such resignation is requested by the Required Lenders (it
being understood that the Agent's Loans and Commitment shall be considered in
determining whether the Required Lenders have requested such resignation) or
required by Section 5.04(b), in either case of (a) or (b) by giving not less
than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Company.  If any Agent shall
resign as an Agent under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements,
then either (a) the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a
successor agent for the Lenders, subject to the consent of the Company (unless
and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, after which no
consent of the Company shall be required), such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved
within the thirty (30) day period following the Agent's notice to the Lenders
of its resignation, then the resigning Agent shall appoint, with the consent of
the Company (unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, after which no consent of the Company shall be required), such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as
Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or Real Estate Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint and the
Company consents to the appointment of a successor agent.  Upon its appointment
pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above, such successor agent shall succeed
to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent
or Real Estate Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the term
"Administrative Agent," "Syndication Agent" or "Real Estate Administrative
Agent" shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the
former Agent's rights, powers and duties as an Agent shall be terminated
without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or
any of the parties to this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements.  After
the resignation of any Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article X shall
inure to the benefit of such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by
reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability for any
actions taken or not taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

   10.10  [Reserved]

   10.11  Availability of Funds.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified by a Lender prior to the date upon which a Loan is to be made
that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender's portion of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made or will make such proceeds available to the Administrative
Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender (or, if
such Lender fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand from the
Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the
period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower
and ending on the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount, at a rate
per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate if recovered
from such Lender or equal to the applicable interest rate in respect of the
Loan if recovered from the Borrower.


<PAGE>   35




   10.12  Calculations.  In the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error in
computing the amount payable to any Lender whether in respect of the Loans,
Fees or any other amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement.  In the
event an error in computing any amount payable to any Lender is made, the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Guarantor and each affected Lender
shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall
be required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be
calculated at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

   10.13  Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions
of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and
the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce
any of the provisions hereof.  In performing their functions and duties under
this Agreement, the Agents shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and do not
assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or
relationship of agency or trust with or for any of the Borrower.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

   12.01 Amendments and Waivers.  Neither this Agreement, any other Credit
Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or
modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.01 and
Section 15.05 of the Participation Agreement.  The Required Lenders may, or, 
with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent may, from time to time, (a) subject to receipt of the written consent of
the Lessees, enter into with the Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable,
written amendments, supplements or modifications to the Credit Documents for the
purpose of adding any provisions to the Credit Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Agents, the Lenders, the Borrower or the Guarantors
thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument,
any of the requirements of the Credit Documents or any Default or Event of
Default and its consequences.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may from
time to time consent in writing to amendments, supplements, modifications or
waivers with respect to any Operative Agreement (other than the Credit
Documents), subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Required
Lenders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment, supplement,
modification or waiver shall (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date
of maturity of any Note, or reduce the stated rate of any interest payable
hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any
post-default increase in interest rates) or any Fees payable under the
Participation Agreement, or extend the scheduled date of any payment of such
interest or Fees, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any
Lender's Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 5.02,
12.01 or 12.08, or alter any provision regarding the pro rata treatment of the
Lenders, or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required

the Lenders or the Required Lenders to authorize the taking of any action
hereunder, or increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders
to an amount greater than $250,000,000, or release any Guarantor the assets of
which represent 5% or   12.2 more of the consolidated total assets of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case without the written consent of
all the Lenders, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article X
without the written consent of each affected Agent.  Any such waiver and any
such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the
Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the
Agents and all future holders of the Notes.  In the case of any waiver, the
Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their
former position and rights under the Credit Documents, and any Default or Event
of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or
impair any right consequent thereon.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 12.01, no Agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the
interests, rights or obligations of the Syndication Agent in its capacity as
Syndication Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the
Syndication Agent, no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the
interests, rights or obligations of the Real Estate Administrative Agent in its
capacity as Real Estate Administrative Agent shall be effective without the

Lender in its capacity as Swing Lender shall be effective without the written
consent of the Swing Lender.

and delivery of the Operative Agreements and the documents and instruments
referred to therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto
(including, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Schiff Hardin & Waite, as
counsel to the Administrative Agent and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett as counsel
to the Real Estate Administrative Agent, and (ii) the Agent and each of the
Lenders (A) in connection with the enforcement of the Operative Agreements and
the documents and instruments referred to therein (including, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel for each of the Agents and for each of the
Lenders), (B) relating to any requested amendments, waivers or consents
pursuant to the provisions of the Operative Agreements, (C) in connection with
the enforcement of the Operative Agreements or collection of amounts due
thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under the
Operative Agreements, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or
otherwise, and (D) in any workout, restructuring or in connection with the
protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms of the
Operative Agreements or of any rights under the Operative Agreements or in
connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings; and (b)
pay and hold each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present
and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters
and save each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities
with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the
extent attributable to such Lender) to pay such taxes.

   12.06  Holidays.  Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken
hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day
(except as provided in the definition of "Interest Period"), and such extension
of time shall be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection
with such payment or action.

  12.07   Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

   (a)   Notional Funding.  Each Lender shall have the right from time to time,
without notice to the Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate
(which for the purposes of this Section 12.07 shall mean any corporation or
association which is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or
indirect common control with any corporation or association which directly or
indirectly controls such Lender) of such Lender to have made, maintained or
funded any Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option applies at any time, provided,
that immediately following (on the assumption that a payment was then due from
the Borrower to such other office) and as a result of such change the Borrower
would not be under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 5.06
than they would have been in the absence of such change.  Notional funding
offices may be selected by each Lender without regard to the Lender's actual
methods of making, maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of funding
actually used by or available to such Lender.

   (b)   Actual Funding.  Each Lender shall have the right from time to time to
make or maintain any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of
such Lender to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this
Section 12.07(b).  If any Lender causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to
make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder, all terms


<PAGE>   42




and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly
requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Loans to the same extent
as if such Loans were made or maintained by such Lender, provided, that in no
event shall any Lender's use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make
or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder cause such Lender or such branch,
Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrower
hereunder or require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to any Lender
(including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 5.06) which
would otherwise not be incurred.

   12.08  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents, all future
holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except that
the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.  Each Lender
may, at its own cost, make assignments of or sell participations in all or any
part of its Commitment and the Loans made by it to one or more Lenders or other
Persons, subject to the terms set forth herein:

   (a)   Assignments.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business
and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign
to any Lender or any affiliate of any Lender or to any Person in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.09, or, with the consents of the Company
(unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, after
which no consent of the Company shall be required) and the Administrative Agent
(neither of which shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to an additional
bank, financial institution or other entity (each, a "Purchasing Lender") all
or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Operative Agreements pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in
the form of Exhibit J, executed by such Purchasing Lender, such assigning
Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not a Lender or an
affiliate thereof, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and delivered
to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register;
provided, that (i) no such assignment to a Purchasing Lender (other than any
Lender or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount less
than $5,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's
interests under this Agreement and the Notes) and (ii) after giving effect to
any such assignment (other than an assignment of all of a Lender's interests
under this Agreement and the Notes), the assigning Lender (together with any
Lender which is an affiliate of such assigning Lender) shall retain Loans
and/or Commitments aggregating not less than $5,000,000.  Any such assignment
shall be ratable as between the Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans of the
assigning Lender.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording,
from and after the Effective Date determined pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and,
to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and
(y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the consent of the
Borrower shall not be required, and, unless requested by the relevant
Purchasing Lender and/or assigning Lender, new Notes shall not be required to
be executed and delivered by the Borrower, for



<PAGE>   43




any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events described in
Section 9(h) shall have occurred and be continuing.  Upon its receipt of an
Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and a Purchasing
Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not a Lender or an
affiliate thereof, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) together with
payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of
$3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and
Acceptance and (ii) promptly after the Effective Date determined pursuant
thereto, record the information contained therein in the Register and give
notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  On
or prior to such Effective Date, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes (in exchange for the
Notes of the assigning Lender), each in an amount equal to the Commitment
assumed by the relevant Purchasing Lender pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder,
new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender, each in an amount equal to the
Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Such new Notes shall be dated the
Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced
thereby.

   (b)   Participations.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more
banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a "Participant")
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such
Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender
hereunder and under the other Operative Agreements; provided, that any such
participation shall be ratable as between the Tranche A Loans and Tranche B
Loans of such Lender.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a
participating interest to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under this
Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such
Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender
shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement
and the Notes, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes.  In no event shall
any Participant have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement, or any consent to
any departure by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person therefrom,
except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would (a) reduce
the principal of, or interest on, any Loan or Note, or postpone the date of the
final maturity of any Loan or Note, or reduce the amount of any Fee, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation or (b) release all or
substantially all of the Collateral.  The Borrower agrees that, while an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if amounts outstanding under
this Agreement and the Notes are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or
shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be
deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in
amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the
amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender
under this Agreement or any Note, provided, that in purchasing such
participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to
share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 12.10(a) as
fully as if it were a Lender hereunder.  The Borrower also agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.03, 5.06, 12.05 and
12.10 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans
outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided, that in the case
of Section


<PAGE>   44




5.06(c), such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said
Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive
any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the
participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no
such transfer occurred.

   (c)   Other Provisions.  Any Purchasing Lender or Participant which is not
incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the form of
certificate described in Section 12.21 relating to Federal income tax
withholding and the Lender who makes an assignment or sells a participation
shall cause the assignee or participant to comply with the provisions of
Section 12.21.  Each Lender may furnish any publicly available information
concerning the Company or its subsidiaries and any other information concerning
the Company or its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to
time to Purchasing Lenders and Participants (including prospective assignees or
participants), provided that such assignees and participants agree to be bound
by the provisions of Section 12.19.

   12.09  The Register; Disclosure; Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks.  (a)  The
Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.02
copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the
"Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the
Commitments of the Lenders, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to each
Lender from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in
the absence of clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the
owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.  The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

   (b)   Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning
any Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

   12.10  Adjustments; Set-off.  (a)  If any Lender (a "Benefitted Lender")
shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest
thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
referred to in Section 9(h), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any
such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect
of such other Lender's Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefitted Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lender's Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders
with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or
benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or
benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase
shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest.

   (b)   In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable
law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, each Agent and each Lender is hereby
authorized at any time or from time to time, without


<PAGE>   45




presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to
any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and
to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any
other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Agent or such Lender
(including, by branches and agencies of such Agent or such Lender wherever
located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on
account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Agent or
such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Operative
Agreements, including, all interests in obligations of the Borrower purchased
by any such Lender pursuant to Section 12.10(a), and all other claims of any
nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any
other Operative Agreement, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such
Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations,
liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured, and
regardless of any difference between the currency of the Loans or other
Obligations and the currency of such debt owing to or funds held for the
account of the Borrower.

   12.11  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement
signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

   12.12  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

   12.13  Integration.  This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent
the agreement of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations
or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not
expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

   12.14  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.

   12.15  Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally:

   (a)   submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding

  Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

   (c)   agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of
  process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue
  in any other jurisdiction; and

   (d)   waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may
  have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in
  this Section 12.15 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

  delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the other Credit Documents;

   (b)   neither any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with

  herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

   (c)   no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or
  otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the
  Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.

   12.17  WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.  THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS

may have upon payment in full of its obligations to require any Agent or any
Lender to terminate its security interest in any property of the Borrower until
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and the execution by
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and by any Person whose loans to the
Borrower are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, of an
agreement indemnifying the Agents and the Lenders from any loss or damage the
Agents or the Lenders may incur as the result of dishonored checks or other
items of payment received by the Agents from the Borrower and applied to the
Obligations.

   12.19  Tax Withholding Forms.  Each Lender or Purchasing Lender or

                       FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE


                 Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit

the "Credit Agreement"), among WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, not in its individual
capacity except as expressly stated in the Credit Agreement, but solely as
Owner Trustee (the "Borrower"), the Lenders named therein and PNC Bank,
National Association, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such
capacity, the "Administrative Agent").  Unless otherwise defined herein, terms
defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given
to them in the Credit Agreement.

                 ____________________ (the "Assignor") and ____________________
(the "Assignee") agree as follows:

                 1.  The Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to the
Assignee without recourse to the Assignor, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably
purchases and assumes from the Assignor without recourse to the Assignor, as of
the Effective Date (as defined below), a ___% interest (the "Assigned
Interest") in and to the Assignor's rights and obligations under the Credit
Agreement with respect to those credit facilities contained in the Credit
Agreement as are set forth on SCHEDULE 1 (individually, an "Assigned Facility";
collectively, the "Assigned Facilities"), in a principal amount for each
Assigned Facility as set forth on SCHEDULE 1.

                 2.  The Assignor (a) makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other
Operative Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement, any other Operative
Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto, other
than that it has not created any adverse claim upon the interest being assigned
by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any such adverse
claim; (b) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility
with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any
other obligor or the performance or observance by the Borrower, any Guarantor
or any other obligor of any of their respective obligations under the Credit
Agreement or any other Operative Agreement or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (c) attaches the Notes held by it
evidencing the Assigned Facilities and requests that the Administrative Agent
exchange such Notes for new Notes payable to the Assignor and (if the Assignor
has retained any interest in the Assigned Facility) new Notes payable to the
Assignee in the respective amounts which reflect the assignment being made
hereby (and after giving effect to any other assignments which have become
effective on the Effective Date).

of the financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 13.01 and 13.02 of
the Guarantee and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Assignment and Acceptance; (c) agrees that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Assignor, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under the Credit Agreement, the other Operative Agreements or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (d) appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement, the
other Operative Agreements or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms thereof, together with such powers as are incidental thereto; and (e)
agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and will
perform in accordance with its terms all the obligations which by the terms of
the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender including,
if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States,
its obligation pursuant to Section 12.21 of the Credit Agreement.

                 4.  The Effective Date of this Assignment and Acceptance shall

this Assignment and Acceptance, it will be delivered to the Administrative
Agent for acceptance by it and recording by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 12.09 of the Credit Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date
(which shall not, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, be
earlier than five Business Days after the date of such acceptance and recording
by the Administrative Agent).

                 5.  Upon such acceptance and recording, from and after the
Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments in respect of
the Assigned Interest (including payments of principal, interest, fees and
other amounts) to the Assignee whether such amounts have accrued prior to the
Effective Date or accrue subsequent to the Effective Date.  The Assignor and

Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
thereunder and under the other Operative Agreements and shall be bound by the
provisions thereof and (b) the Assignor shall, to the extent provided in this
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Operative Agreements.
